Tang Xin looked at me and spoke loudly, but at this moment a train happened to pass by me and was covered by the huge sound of the train, so I didn’t hear clearly what Tang Xin said at all.

“What did you say?!” The sound was so loud that it hurt my eardrums so much that I had to cover my ears.

Tang Xin looked at me and laughed, but I felt confused.

After a while, the train drove away. I put down my hand and asked Tang Xin: “What did you say just now?”

“You didn’t say anything! Idiot Xiaomeng.” Tang Xin tapped my head.

“Huh? I clearly heard what you said to me.”

“I just didn’t say anything! Let’s go back to the hotel, otherwise we’ll be late and it will be bad if we catch the rush hour.”

“Well, let’s go back!”

Chapter 96: Women Disguised as Men

At 6 o’clock in the morning, our alarm clocks started to ring non-stop. Because I slept with Tang Xin last night and chatted so happily, I fell asleep very late. As a result, neither of us could get up early in the morning.

“I want to sleep a little longer…” I couldn’t even open my eyes and begged for help in pain.

“No, we have to get up and put on makeup to go in, otherwise we won’t be able to get to the venue when it opens!”

Tang Xin sat up and reached out to try to pull me up from the bed. But I didn’t want to use any strength at all and let her do whatever she wanted.

“Get up, Xiaomeng!” Tang Xin pulled me several times, but failed every time.

“I’m so pissed off, Xiaomeng! You’re such a lazy bum!” After Tang Xin tried in vain, she simply praised me and pulled my arm with all her strength.

Tang Xin was quite strong, and once she used her strength, she actually pulled me up. But her strength was not balanced, and her left hand slipped, and I was flipped over by her, and I was directly pressed on her.

This naturally made me half awake, and our noses almost touched each other. Feeling the soft jade under me, my face gradually became hot.

“I…I get up.” I quickly climbed down from Tang Xin’s body, but the soft touch kept echoing in my mind.

“Really? Xiaomeng loves to sleep in too much. Go wash up quickly~” Tang Xin straightened her hair that I had just messed up and started to put on her clothes.

After more than half an hour, around 6:30, we all went to the makeup artist’s room. There was only one makeup artist, a part-time employee of Lin Shihan’s company, because she only had to dress up the two of us cosplayers, so her job was relatively easy.

“Do you know who the cosplayer is?” She motioned for us to sit on the chairs in the hotel and opened the makeup box in the suitcase. According to Lin Shihan’s introduction last night, the makeup artist is a 30-something-year-old lady named Xu Ting. She looks older than my aunt. I don’t know her and I didn’t have any impression of her in my previous life. At this moment, she is a makeup artist but she herself doesn’t wear makeup, so her appearance looks a bit ordinary.

“I’m not sure. Sister Lin and the others didn’t tell us last night.”

“Then I’ll tell you.” Sister Xu smiled at us, “Come and put on your clothes first.”

It’s better to say that they are two sets of Chinese costumes than cosplay costumes. However, one of them is a men’s costume with a gray-green tone.

“Tang Xin, why don’t you wear this women’s outfit first? Do you know how to wear it?” Sister Xu asked.

“Yes, I have worn it before.”

“Well, I’ll go help Li Xiaomeng. She definitely won’t wear men’s clothes.”

I looked curious: “Why am I wearing men’s clothes?”

“Haha, you should ask your sister Lin about this. She planned the game. The main plot of the game is about a rich girl who escapes from home and travels the world disguised as a man. She probably thinks you are very suitable for this role, right?”

When I heard it, I thought it was pretty good. No one knows how to act like a man better than me.

It’s called Hanfu, but with my experience, I can’t tell which dynasty it was from, or maybe it was a costume modified by later generations. I just felt that Sister Xu put a few pieces of cloth on me, wrapped it many times, tied a lot of knots, and it took a long time to put on the clothes.

The next step is the hair, but relatively speaking this is the easiest part to handle. My own hair can be done in a half-bundle, half-draped style, so I don’t need a wig to help.

“Your hair is so good!” Sister Xu said while combing my hair.

“No way… Tang Xin is done?” I turned around and saw Tang Xin standing gracefully in a snow-white long gown and skirt.

“You’re wearing it very well!” Sister Xu also turned around and commented, “You really have a good foundation. Even without makeup, you’re the envy of others!”

Tang Xin laughed and turned around on the spot. It is true that people are like willows supported by the wind. The ancients were right.

“Are you stunned?” Sister Xu covered her mouth and laughed, “Why? After putting on men’s clothes, you become just like that pervert?”

As soon as the words came out, the two of them started laughing so hard that they were shaking with laughter, which made me extremely embarrassed.

“Okay, stop messing around and get dressed quickly, or we’ll be too late. We have to enter before eight o’clock.”

……

By the time we finished our makeup and arrived downstairs at the hotel, Sister Lin and my aunt had been waiting for a long time.

“Wow!” Sister Lin ran over to us as soon as she saw us, looking left and right, “Great! Better than I thought!”

“My Xiao Meng is so heroic? Isn’t she too much of a pretty boy?” Auntie was so shocked that she couldn’t close her jaw. “If you show your charming little face to others, you will probably win the hearts of thousands of girls.”

“That’s right!” I was so flattered that I couldn’t help but feel proud. If I were a man now, wouldn’t I take down the girl next to me first? When I thought of this, I turned to look at Tang Xin, and happened to meet her gaze. Tang Xin blushed and turned her eyes away.

“Oh, you’re showing off.” Auntie took the two badges and tapped my head gently, “Don’t dawdle, these are work IDs, one for you and one for Tang Xin, don’t lose them.”

“Okay~” X2

……

After I left the hotel, I realized that the real challenge had begun. On the streets in 2013, people obviously didn’t have such high awareness. When they saw Tang Xin and I in our strange clothes, they looked at us as if we were giant pandas. Seeing many enthusiastic citizens even taking out their phones to take photos and videos, I knew that I couldn’t avoid social death this time.

Compared to my predicament, Tang Xin did not show any embarrassment, and opposed me, saying: “As long as you are not embarrassed, they will be embarrassed!”

I have always despised Tang Xin’s principle of being reckless and never giving up, but there is no other way at the moment. I had to learn from Tang Xin and become “arrogant”.

The hotel is only a few steps away from the convention center, and it is just a few intersections away. When we arrived at the entrance of the venue, the crowd became denser. Before the venue opened, there was already a long queue outside the exhibition hall, which shows how enthusiastic young people are about CJ.

Fortunately, many of the people who came to see and participate in the exhibition were wearing strange costumes, so we didn’t stand out so much. The embarrassment of being socially awkward was alleviated a lot, but because of Tang Xin and my appearance, we still got a lot of attention.

Thanks to our status as staff, we were spared the pain of queuing and entered the exhibition hall before it opened. Sister Lin’s exhibition hall is not big. It is located in the W5 area, a place that looks inconspicuous on the edge. But it is said that the rent for such an area of ​​more than ten square meters is quite expensive.

Although the venue is small, it has a lot of designs. Sister Lin designed the entire exhibition area to look like an ancient tavern, except that the tables are all filled with computers, running the game “Wulin Xiaoxiami” developed by Sister Lin and her team.

Tang Xin and I had a simple task, which was to stand near the exhibition hall, distribute flyers, and occasionally interact and introduce Sister Lin and their games.

–

What I wanted to say yesterday was misplaced.

PS If possible, I would like to take a day off during the Dragon Boat Festival. I want to have a good sleep. I haven’t had a good sleep for a long time.

Chapter 97 Cosplay

At nine o’clock in the morning, all the staff were waiting in place, looking forward to the entrance. With the influx of players, the CJ exhibition officially began. The exhibition halls of major companies turned on their respective sound systems. The sound of music, games, and the host’s microphone came one after another. In the noisy environment, it was very difficult to have a conversation a few meters apart.

Perhaps because girls’ eardrums are particularly sensitive, the exploding sound of the speakers bombarded my eardrums, causing some stinging. Tang Xin noticed the abnormality in my expression and ran over to me to ask me.

“Xiao Meng, what’s wrong?” She looked a little worried.

I smiled and shook my head: “It’s okay, my ears just can’t get used to it.”

“It’s indeed a bit noisy.” Tang Xin also frowned and looked towards the stage of a large company facing us. Due to the design, their giant professional speakers happened to be playing music towards us.

“Alright, forget it. We are tourists now. Remember to call me Young Master from now on!” I smiled and pushed her away. “Miss, please don’t get too close. Men and women should not touch each other.”

Tang Xin was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and said angrily, “You are such a pervert. You are the first to file a complaint and want to tarnish my reputation as a young lady.”

Seeing Tang Xin’s immersion in the play, I couldn’t help but burst out laughing, and Tang Xin also laughed out loud. Although we performed very enthusiastically, there were not many people around us. After all, the museum had just opened, and the number of people was still quite sparse. It would take half an hour or an hour for the crowd density to increase.

During this period, she and I also began to distribute flyers. The content of the flyers was actually very simple, which was to give a general introduction to the game content of “Wulin Xiao Xiami” and invite players to enter the museum to experience and pre-purchase. Because after entering the museum, I had read the content of the flyer in detail and briefly experienced the game under Sister Lin’s introduction, so I was still very confident in my promotional skills.

After rehearsing it dozens of times in my mind, I finally plucked up the courage and took the first step in sales. A big sister in a blue skirt became my first target.

“Hey, young lady, could you please stay?” I stretched out my hand, blocked her way, and called her in a fake rough voice. Although I was panicking inside, my face was as calm as a rock.

“Ah?” I was almost thrown off guard when he opened his mouth. He was actually a crossdresser! Maybe it was because of the heavy makeup and fake breasts, I didn’t recognize him at first.

“I wonder if young lady would be interested in learning about our game?” I opened my umbrella and pointed to the exhibition hall nearby.

“Ancient style? Standalone?” He shook his head. “I haven’t played standalone games for a long time.”

After saying that, he left. On the other hand, Tang Xin had already attracted several boys to try her out because of her beautiful appearance and nice voice. Damn it, is this the advantage of gender? I can’t lose to her again.

Coincidentally, a pair of young ladies also wearing Hanfu appeared in front of me. I hurriedly walked forward, opened my umbrella, and pretended to be a scholar.

Maybe I was too exaggerated when I opened the umbrella, which scared them a little. They almost took a step back. But after seeing my appearance clearly, they actually blushed a little.

“Ladies, would you be so kind as to let me introduce our game to you?” I risked my life and showed off my best acting skills, hoping to impress them.

The two of them looked at each other and nodded at me with a smile, “Then I’ll trouble you, sir.”

“Please follow me. Let’s go inside the museum and experience it.” I stroked my sleeves and extended my hand to invite them to follow me. “Our game is called ‘Wulin Xiao Xiami’. It tells the story of a little girl who disguised herself as a man and ran away from home to travel the world. It includes action, development, puzzles, open world and other gameplay, which is very suitable for your preferences.”

As I led them to sit in front of the computer, they also showed great interest.

“Are you cosplaying the protagonist?” One of the petite girls looked at me and said.

I was stunned and nodded: “Yes, the protagonist is called Dongfang Weiming, nicknamed Jianghu Xiao Ximi. Isn’t he handsome?”

“He is handsome, but you can still tell that he is a very beautiful girl.” One of the older girls smiled at me, covering her mouth with her hands.

“Eh? Did you see that?” I scratched my head.

“How can such a skinny guy have such well-developed chest muscles?” She pointed at my chest and said with a smile, “And you look too feminine, or should I say too beautiful!”

“Haha…” I laughed dryly to ease the embarrassment.

“We want to buy two copies of the game, but can we make a small request?” she said.

“Huh? You’ve decided to buy it before you’ve even fully experienced it?” Sister Lin seemed to have noticed us from the beginning. She came over and said, “I’m the producer of this game. I’m glad you can buy and experience our product.”

“Wow, the producer is actually a beautiful older sister.” The younger girls exclaimed.

“Well, we just watched someone else’s game footage, and it looks really interesting, so we want to buy a copy to try at home. Anyway, I saw that you only sell it for 128 after the discount, which is not expensive.” The older one said, “But, can I have the contact information of this cosplayer?”

I was stunned again when I saw her suddenly pointing at my hand.

“Just ask her in person.” Sister Lin was also a little surprised, but she reacted quickly, as if everything was within her expectations.

“I guess… I guess it’s ok.” I thought about it and it wasn’t a big deal, so I gave them my WeChat ID. After they asked for my contact information, they quickly bought two game collector’s edition gift boxes and ran away.

Later, a girl named chocolate added me.

“Hey, what are you looking at? You look so happy that you don’t want to leave.” Tang Xin suddenly appeared beside me when I was looking at my phone.

“It scared me, but it’s nothing. Two cute girls just bought games.”

“Eh? A cute girl?” Tang Xin looked at me unhappily, “Could it be that Mr. Dongfang is a scumbag who cheats on you and then abandons you? Ren Qingxuan has misjudged you.”

“No, no, don’t misunderstand, there were only two guests.” I waved my hand quickly, “There are thousands of women in the world, but the one I like is only you, Qingxuan.”
