The cicadas suddenly started chirping, the sun was shining brightly, and summer seemed to have arrived all of a sudden.
With only two days left until the comic convention, the organizers prepared a rehearsal.
Qin Fanglu was unable to go to the event due to work arrangements. He only had to attend an interview and a book signing afterwards, so it didn't matter whether he went or not.
What made Qin Fanglu unhappy was that Ruan Cunyun was going to dance at the rehearsal but he couldn't see it.
"Do you want to rehearse with makeup on?" Qin Fanglu asked.
Ruan Cunyun nodded: "Of course. This is a large-scale event, and the organizers hope to make it perfect."
Qin Fanglu pouted: "Then I won't be able to see your performance in advance."
Ruan Cunyun smiled and comforted him: "I'll give you a first-row seat when the time comes!"
There is no way to turn down the work.
[Wow, Teacher Dan is really going to show his face! After speaking in a male voice during the live broadcast and confessing to his three-dimensional partner, Teacher Dan made another big move! ]
Since neither Huya nor BALLS made any clear response to the live broadcast incident, sensible netizens guessed for a while and then stopped.
It seemed that after Huya got a response from Teacher Dan, he became cold and indifferent, like a different person.
Ruan Cunyun did retweet this Weibo post, but the only official message was: "See you later~"
[Okay, Comrade Huya, just keep your coolness. If you have the guts, you can still be cool after you meet Teacher Dan at the comic convention! ]
In the promotional Weibo of "Crossing the Dimensional Wall", the names of Huya and BALLS are close together, and the comments below are piled up like a mountain.
[Okay, you said so.]
With a "ding" sound, the subway arrived at the station.
Ruan Cunyun was bored on the subway, with a little pride, he was happy to chat with fans: [I am always calm (o^^o). If you have the guts, come and bet, I will definitely not be excited to see Teacher Dan on stage. ]
[Teacher Dan, you better be handsome! (It’s okay, I will still like your paintings even if you are not handsome.)]
[So this is what “those who can’t get what they want are always in turmoil, while those who are favored are fearless”?]
[Waiting for Huya to perform, I was so excited that I couldn’t speak.]
After all, these two people have not been familiar with each other online for several years. Even the marketing accounts dare not say that they are really a couple in the three-dimensional world.
Logically speaking, the little bootlicker Hu Ya finally got a response from his long-admired teacher Dan, and he should be ecstatic and shouting "Ahhh" like crazy on Weibo.
He was full of confidence, like a candidate who had memorized the answers by heart.
[If you lose, you have to produce three sets of cosplay for us in half a year. If you win, I will respectfully call you "Daddy Ya" ^-^]
Ruan Cunyun took a look and saw "Illustrator: Ghost King" written in the corner. He sighed in his heart, this is indeed a big comic exhibition. They actually managed to invite early great artists to return to the stage. I wonder how many old two-dimensional artists will check in in tears in front of this poster.
The decision they finally made was to just let things take their own course at the comic convention. Anyway, Ruan Cunyun's cosplayer friends would definitely know that Qin Fanglu was BALLS by then, and it would only be a matter of time before the audience knew the news.
[Tiger Teeth, open your eyes and look carefully! This is Teacher Dan! She is your beloved wife BALLS!!]
There were not many people at the scene, the venue was empty, and there were only a few staff members and guests, and the rehearsal was proceeding in an orderly manner.
No likes, let alone pinning.
Ruan Cunyun curled the corners of his lips, locked his phone and walked out of the car.
Bai Qiangwei said "it's okay", Ruan Cunyun pursed his lips and shook his head, but his heart was pounding.
[Ahahahaha, that makes sense! Huya online: “Oh.”, Huya in real life: “Ahh…”]
[Ya Mei should repost this Weibo, comment, like it and pin it to the top 2333]
Ordinary people may not know this, but Huya’s fans have all grown to like Teacher Dan by following his lead. Ever since the small account that Huya used to follow Teacher Dan was exposed a few years ago, Huya has never stopped reposting, commenting and praising Teacher Dan’s works.
[Sisters, I understand, because Huya wants to show his reserved side in front of Teacher Dan! ]
Ruan Cunyun put on a dance dress and brand new leather shoes, put on makeup, and stood on the stage with two other girls.
On the day of rehearsal, Qin Fanglu went out for a meeting very early and was unable to even send Ruan Cunyun to the venue. Even the three cats felt their owner's low mood.
"It's about to start." Rainbow Bear clapped his hands and smiled, "Are you not nervous?"
But when fans told Huyadan that they were following him, Huya just responded coldly with an "Oh".
Ruan Cunyun took the subway to the venue alone, leaned against the door and browsed Weibo, plunging into another bustling world.
Ruan Cunyun was still very confident in himself. He already knew what Teacher Dan looked like. It would be strange for him to be excited about the person he saw every day.
Ruan Cunyun looked at the long string of comments and felt secretly happy and proud: Haha, you only know that Teacher Dan went to the comic convention with me, but you don’t know that he actually slept with me!
The organizers of the comic convention released a promotional video and a final trailer, with many big names gathered, which aroused everyone's expectations.
The venue is very grand, with a huge poster at the entrance. The painting style is very unique, the details are impeccable, the tension is overflowing, the composition and colors are quite artistic, and it is full of the classic and ancient style of the great gods.
[Huya may become the biggest winner!]
[Waiting for Yamei’s three sets of cosplay!]
There is a huge difference between standing on a high stage and being in the practice room. The venue is empty now, but on the day of the performance, it will be full of audiences, and there will be many cameras aimed at them, one of which should belong to Qin Fanglu.
The comment section is full of question marks.
[You guessed wrong above, Ya Mei has become super cool now! ]
Fortunately, as soon as the song started, the movements and rhythms that I had practiced for a long time flowed out naturally, and the tension gradually disappeared in the dedicated dance.
After the dance, the staff and Qi Chang in the audience cheered and applauded, saying that their performance was perfect.
The three of them smiled and high-fived, then walked off the stage chatting and laughing, hoping that the live performance would go as smoothly as the rehearsal.
Bai Qiangwei hugged Ruan Cunyun and said, "Xiaoyun, Qi Chang and I are going to my parents' house for dinner. We have to leave now. How are you going to get back?"
Ruan Cunyun nodded: "I'll go remove my makeup first, and then the subway will go directly to my doorstep."
"Be careful." White Rose said, "Then we'll say goodbye first!"
They waved goodbye, Ruan Cunyun adjusted her skirt, and turned back to the dressing room.
The exciting adrenaline level on the stage slowly subsided, Ruan Cunyun's heartbeat finally returned to normal, and his limbs became light.
After taking a jog, Ruan Cunyun suddenly felt a slight needle-like pain in the Achilles tendon of his right foot.
"hiss."
The pain was a little unbearable, Ruan Cunyun stopped where he was, raised his heels, and looked back.
The over-the-knee black stockings were thin and light, and the little leather shoes were brand new. This was the first time Ruan Cunyun wore them.
The leather on the heel became hard, and the skin on the Achilles tendon was rubbed through the thin stockings.
Ruan Cunyun frowned slightly and tried to move his foot. The wound rubbed against the rough fibers of stockings and the edge of leather shoes, causing pain.
He was going to go on stage in two days, and he was afraid that the wound would worsen, so he didn't dare to move another step. He stood where he was, took off half of his leather shoe, and planned to call Rainbow Bear for help and ask her to send him a Band-Aid.
"Do you need help?"
A lady passing by stopped and asked Ruan Cunyun.
The lady was wearing a navy blue halter dress, her wavy hair was waist-length, fluffy and casual, with a few strands of blue-green highlighted to match the dress. She was not wearing any makeup and it was hard to tell her age. She only made people feel that her temperament was unique and outstanding, with the profound atmosphere of a fairy tale rainforest.
Ruan Cunyun didn't want to trouble strangers, and he was wearing women's clothes. He was not used to speaking in a male voice in front of strangers. He was afraid of encountering the same disgust that Bo Yue had encountered before, so he just held up the phone, smiled, and shook his head slightly.
The lady asked, "Did you rub your heel? I have a band-aid here."
He was seen through, and it was just a matter of patching up the problem, so Ruan Cunyun stopped refusing, cleared his throat, and said "hmm".
The lady took out a box of Band-Aids from her bag, pulled out three pieces and handed them to Ruan Cunyun, smiling and saying, "Are you Tiger Tooth? You dance very beautifully, I just saw it."
Ruan Cunyun was slightly surprised, because this meant that this lady was an insider of the comic convention and knew him.
Most of his fans are young people, and it is rare to see such a lady with outstanding temperament who knows about tiger teeth.
Ruan Cunyun then spoke up and said gratefully: "Thank you, I still need to work harder."
Sure enough, the lady did not show any surprise that he was a boy, but pointed to the stool next to her and said, "Sit down and treat your wound."
Ruan Cunyun sat down, untied the black leg ring fixed in the middle of her thigh, took off her over-the-knee stockings, and saw the small patch of skin on her heel that was rubbed, revealing a light pink color. The lady immediately said, "It must be painful. Didn't you feel it when you were dancing?"
"I don't have time to think about anything else on stage." Ruan Cunyun smiled, "This is the first time I wear this pair of shoes, I'm not familiar with them yet."
The lady laughed softly and spoke slowly, "Your wound is relatively small, so it should heal quickly. Hitting the heel with a hammer will loosen it up a bit. Don't hurt yourself again."
"Okay, I will. Thank you." Ruan Cunyun was a little uncomfortable with the care from a stranger. He buried his head in tearing off the Band-Aid, only to find that there was a cute Doraemon pattern printed on it.
"This is so cute." Ruan Cunyun said, pointing to the Band-Aid.
The lady lifted her long hair to her neck, pointed at the black leg ring that Ruan Cunyun had taken off and placed on the chair, and praised: "Your leg ring is also very sexy."
Ruan Cunyun looked up suddenly, unable to hide the surprise in his eyes.
How to put it, hearing "leg rings are very sexy" from an elegant lady really surprised Ruan Cunyun.
But he soon calmed down, because this was at a comic convention, and who wouldn’t love these, regardless of gender, age or status
Ruan Cunyun smiled and said, "Yes, I like it too! Your hair looks really good with highlights."
"Yeah, I think it's okay too."
The lady fiddled with her hair and thought, "I'm thinking about cutting my hair short, into a princess cut. What do you think?"
Perhaps the compliment of "the leg ring is very sexy" instantly shortened the distance between the two people, turning the lady from an enthusiastic passerby into a confidant. Ruan Cunyun gave a plan without hesitation: "I think it will be very suitable! Maybe you can dye it light gold, wear a modified Japanese haori, shorts, and a pair of handmade earrings, it will be very cool, a bit like a bad girl."
The lady giggled, "I'm still a girl?"
"Girl!" Ruan Cunyun clapped his hands, "You look a little mature now, but with a princess cut you can instantly become a school bully."
As he spoke, Ruan Cunyun looked at the lady politely again, and suddenly he felt that her facial features had an indescribable sense of familiarity. Her appearance was gentle but actually aggressive, and she had a very charming look.
The reserve female school bully laughed, her long hair swaying, and said to Ruan Cunyun: "As expected of Mr. Tiger Teeth, you have good taste."
It is very interesting and friendly to talk to the elegant female school bully. It has the superpower of making people with social anxiety no longer feel socially anxious.
Ruan Cunyun became interested and asked her, "How do you know me?"
The lady said: "I have a son who is your fan. He recommended you to me. I saw you and thought, wow, you are really good looking. I watched all your cosplays."
This sentence contains a lot of information. Ruan Cunyun expressed his first thought: "Wow, your son is so lucky, and you are so lucky too, that you can discuss these things together."
"Communicate occasionally." said the lady.
Ruan Cunyun became more and more curious: "Can I ask what you are doing at the comic convention rehearsal? I don't think I have seen you in the guest group."
The lady said casually, "Come over and help a little. Mainly because you can bring the staff's badge and go in directly without queuing, which is convenient."
Ruan Cunyun laughed, thinking that she came to help organize the event and to get some convenience. He thought this lady was really interesting, and her mentality and hobbies were very young.
Just as he was about to continue the conversation, Ruan Cunyun's cell phone rang, and the words "Qin Dadan" appeared on the screen.
Ruan Cunyun whispered to the lady, "Sorry, I have to take a call," and out of the corner of his eye he seemed to see her smiling widely.
"Hello." Ruan Cunyun turned his head slightly and heard Qin Fanglu ask him "Is the rehearsal over?"
"Well, I'm done. Are you done too?" Ruan Cunyun asked.
"I'm fine. I'll come pick you up and have dinner at my house tonight." Qin Fanglu said, "Is everything going well for you?"
"Okay, let's have dinner together tonight." Ruan Cunyun looked down at the Doraemon Band-Aid on his heel and nodded subconsciously: "It went well."
Qin Fanglu laughed softly: "I'll be there soon, just wait for me for ten minutes."
"It's okay, no rush." Ruan Cunyun glanced at the lady sitting next to him and wanted to chat with her, so he said to Qin Fanglu, "You can go a little slower."
After hanging up the phone, the lady asked Ruan Cunyun with a smile: "Do you have anything to say?"
Ruan Cunyun nodded, then shook his head: "My...boyfriend is coming to pick me up, but it will probably take more than ten minutes."
"Then I won't bother you anymore." The lady stood up with her bag. "It's nice to chat with you. I hope we can meet again at the comic convention."
Since the lady wanted to leave, Ruan Cunyun would not force her to stay.
He smiled and said, "Okay, see you at the comic convention if we're lucky."
The lady tapped Ruan Cunyun's leather shoes from a distance and said half-jokingly, "You can ask your boyfriend to help tap the heels when you get home."
Ruan Cunyun was amused and agreed, "Okay, no problem."
After the lady left, Ruan Cunyun put on her stockings and leg rings. Qin Fanglu arrived soon and returned home smoothly.
I opened the door, went into the house, took off my leather shoes, and felt a little more relaxed.
As soon as Ruan Cunyun stepped on the floor, he felt a tightness around his waist. Qin Fanglu pressed him down and kissed him eagerly. Ruan Cunyun was caught off guard and his breath was taken away. His heartbeat became disordered in an instant.
The feet wrapped in black stockings trembled as they stood on tiptoe, and they could only stand steadily because Qin Fanglu held them tightly.
Ruan Cunyun panted and said, "Why did you suddenly..."
Qin Fanglu said calmly and directly, "You look so beautiful in this outfit. It's a pity that I didn't see you dancing."
Ruan Cunyun was in a good mood today, feeling a little dazed. He curled his lips and said, "I can dance for you right now."
The arm around his waist tightened instantly. Qin Fanglu looked at him in disbelief, almost daring not to breathe: "...Really?"
Ruan Cunyun felt that this was no big deal. It would fill her boyfriend's regret and consolidate their relationship at the same time.
"Really?" Ruan Cunyun said as he turned on the speakers to play music.
Qin Fanglu sat on the sofa, and the stress of a day's work was instantly cured. He felt like he was out of his body. Although he was sitting on the emperor's seat, he felt like a lucky concubine in ancient times who was chosen by the emperor.
The music started, and a pair of feet wearing only black stockings stepped on the wooden floor. The sunlight shone on the beautiful and agile young body. The legs between the white thighs were faintly visible under the swinging short skirt, revealing a bit of absolute voluptuous area.
Qin Fanglu's Adam's apple slid, his index finger curled up, and he leaned into the sofa impatiently.
The song wasn't even half finished when Qin Fanglu lost all self-control. He stood up uncontrollably, picked up Ruan Cunyun, and carried her away from the dance, taking her directly into the bedroom.
Ruan Cunyun was suddenly lifted into the air and was startled. He felt something pressing against Qin Fanglu's body on his sensitive waist, which made him even more panicked. He didn't understand why this happened.
Isn't it just a dance? Nothing is exposed. If it really has this effect, what will the audience think
"Qin Fanglu, you, you..." Ruan Cunyun punched his sturdy shoulders, "I will officially take the stage in two days!"
"I know." Qin Fanglu put him on the table, forehead against forehead, and without looking away, he pulled out a black strip from a drawer.
Qin Fanglu bent down, put his index finger on the black leather leg ring on Ruan Cunyun's leg, and put the other one into Ruan Cunyun's hand: "Can you wear this on stage the day after tomorrow?"
Ruan Cunyun wanted to know what the difference was between the two... He took a closer look and saw that the one Qin Fanglu gave him had a few tiny metal letters printed on it: QIN.
Now he understood everything. Ruan Cunyun blushed and didn't dare to touch the three raised metal words.
"Where do you get all this crap..."
Qin Fanglu said, "Those three boxes were too many, so the store gave us some custom-made ones as gifts."
Seeing Ruan Cunyun burying his face and not speaking, Qin Fanglu's voice softened and begged, "Can I?"
Ruan Cunyun held the custom-made leg ring strap and quickly stuffed it into Qin Fanglu's hand: "… Your name is engraved on it, do you want me to wear it myself?"
The breathing of the two people became entangled again. Qin Fanglu used his fingertips to hook the leg ring with his name engraved on it onto Ruan Cunyun's leg.
Like a mark of territory occupied.
Qin Fanglu frowned and closed his eyes, breathing heavily: "Tsk, you have a performance in two days."
The cold leather band felt hot on his legs. Ruan Cunyun twisted his waist twice in an unbearable manner: "Almost there..."
Following the line of her legs, Qin Fanglu slowly took off Ruan Cunyun's over-the-knee stockings and asked, "Can I use my hands today?"
Before Ruan Cunyun could speak, Qin Fanglu's fingers froze, and then he grabbed Ruan Cunyun's ankle and lifted it up.
There was a Doraemon Band-Aid on the white and tender heel.
Qin Fanglu's voice suddenly cooled down: "What's going on?"
Ruan Cunyun shook his knees and said, "It's okay. My new leather shoes are a bit rubbing my feet. A kind passerby gave me a cute Band-Aid. Her son is also my fan."
Qin Fanglu automatically ignored the second half of the sentence and asked, "Where are your new leather shoes?"
"In the entrance." Ruan Cunyun said.
-
Two hours later, Ruan Cunyun curled up in bed to calm his breathing, hot soup was bubbling in the kitchen, and Qin Fanglu squatted on the floor of the living room, hammering the heels of his little leather shoes until they were softened.
