Chapter 10 What I Forgot to Tell You 1
Thinking back to the confession that day, I really wanted to find a hole to crawl into, because when Xia Senshi said "I know everything", I stupidly replied "Oh"...
Time goes back to the point where everything changed.
"Silly Dingding, I know everything you said."
"Oh...are you going to kick me out now?"
Xia Senshi tightened his strong arms.
"Are you really an idiot? I mean, I accept your confession!"
"boom!"
…
Although I didn't want to admit it, I just felt dizzy at the time, as if the whole world exploded with countless gorgeous fireworks, and they were in the shape of pink hearts.
Then I did another embarrassing thing, which was to keep asking Xia Senshi to repeat what he had just said in just two minutes. So when we were sitting under the shade of the tree holding hands, the conversation went like this:
"Xia Senshi, what did you just say?"
"I said I accept your confession."
"Ah? Say it again."
"I accept."
"Say it again."
"I accept."
"Again……"
Well, I couldn't let him say it again this time because my lips were blocked by his...
In the early morning, the clear chirping of birds and the energetic song "Courageous Girl" sounded together, becoming my morning alarm clock.
I turned over comfortably, unwilling to open my eyes.
"Hey, Yan Xiaozhu, aren't you going to get up yet?"
I lay motionless in bed, but suddenly opened my eyes.
Oh my God, why is Xia Senshi here? Did I forget to lock the door again? Ah! Meatball came up and licked my face again.
My sleepiness flew away in an instant. I shrank my neck, dodged left and right, blocked several attacks from Meatballs, and said humbly, "Boss Xia, let's talk it over. Please don't show up at my bedside to scare me."
Today, Xia Senshi is wearing a navy blue striped short suit, which makes him look even taller and more slender. I never expected that he would look so handsome in a suit! His slightly raised, heroic eyebrows, deep and mysterious eyes, thin lips, and rare honey-gold short hair are simply eye-catching.
But I am Yan Dingding, the female knight of the new century who will never be captured by beauty, so I quickly regained my sanity. Unfortunately, my sanity collapsed when Xia Senshi said the following sentence.
"Yan Dingding, have you forgotten what day it is today?"
"Wh…what day?"
"Today is the day of the Hanamachi Research Institute press conference and the 'Moe Shining' comic exhibition. You forgot that you still have to fight Lan Lan."
"I……"
Yan Dingding, why don't you just bang your head against the wall? How could you forget such an important day?
Okay, okay, now is not the time to blame.
I decided to let myself off the hook first, take a quick shower, dress up, and go to the battle! This battle is not just mine, it's also Xia Senshi's, so I must not let down my guard!
Which dress should I wear? Is the red dress too flashy? However, no matter how flashy it is, it can't compare to Lan Lan, who has a gorgeous attribute!
"How about this little blue skirt? Look, there are little fish patterns on it!"
"Too childish."
"What about this purple-striped one?"
“So earthy!”
…
No matter which piece of clothing I took out, Xia Senshi felt bad. I was about to lose my temper when there was a knock on the door.
It's so strange, why would someone knock on the door at this time?
"Who is it?"
I didn't expect Xia Senshi to turn around and open the door without any surprise. Before I saw anyone, I heard a conversation coming from the door.
"You are finally here, please help Yan Dingding choose a set of clothes. She is so confused that she doesn't seem to have any suitable clothes!"
"Xiao Sen, I think you don't understand girls at all. Are you nervous?"
"mom……"
Wow, that sound!
Isn’t this the beautiful Bina whom we haven’t seen for a long time?
"Aunt Bina...ah, no, Sister Bina..."
The beautiful Bina wore a black slim low-cut dress, red high heels, blonde hair and red lips, and had a strong aura... How could you call such a beautiful woman "Auntie"!
“Hahaha.” Seeing my awkward look, beautiful Bina patted my head affectionately and said, “Just call me Bina. After all, Dingding and our Xiaosen are in love now!”
I lowered my head shyly and smiled secretly. When I noticed Xia Sen, I pretended to look out the window unnaturally, but my ears turned red.
The beautiful Bina quickly sorted the clothes in my closet and found that except for some childish cotton dresses, the rest of my clothes were simple and boyish. She decisively picked out a pair of ripped overalls and compared them to me, and without turning her head, she instructed Xia Senshi: "Xiao Sen, go and find out if there is a T-shirt or vest with letter prints in your closet, and bring it to me."
Xia Senshi and I were both stunned.
"Ah? During Xia Sen's time?"
"How can she wear my clothes? As a skirt?"
The beautiful Bina rolled her eyes, stretched out two fingers, and flicked each of our foreheads: "You two, you just got together and you dare to unite to question my aesthetics? Go and get it!"
Xia Senshi took the clothes back with an unhappy look on his face.
Bina grabbed the clothes and locked him out with a bang. I also heard Xia Senshi's dissatisfied roar: "Hey! Mom!"
"Wait a minute, dear son, you still have to step aside when Dingding is changing clothes. Oh, yes, throw this Meatball guy out too."
Immediately afterwards, after a "bang", I heard overlapping screams from a man and a lizard outside the door.
Xia Senshi was very kind and found me a refreshing white T-shirt. Bina told me to put it on, and paired it with the ripped overalls, it looked chic and casual.
I thought that was the end, but she pushed me to sit on the chair and took out eye shadow, foundation, lipstick, eyeliner from her bag...
It only took her ten minutes to apply a fresh and youthful makeup on me. Finally, she put a red cap on me and patted my shoulder to say that the job was done.
I looked in the mirror, God! Is this pretty girl with red lips, white teeth, lazy pigtails, and innocent big eyes still me? Xia Senshi's big T-shirt doesn't look weird on me at all, but cute as hell!
Bina pushed me out of the room and led the way with big strides: "Okay, let's send Dingding to Mengshan first, and then Xiaosen you go to the press conference. If we can make it in time, Dingding can also witness Xiaosen's release."
The moment Xia Senshi saw me, he widened his eyes in surprise, a light flashed in his obsidian eyes, and a blush appeared on his fair face. My heartbeat accelerated, and my hands pinched the corner of my clothes nervously.
"Okay, you two young lovers, stop looking at each other and hurry up. I'm very busy today!"
Xia Senshi lazily withdrew his gaze and said, "So, why don't you just let me drive? Why did you insist on coming to take us here?"
When I thought of Xia Senshi's driving skills, my heart, which had been pounding wildly, started beating even faster. I couldn't help but be glad that Bina insisted on coming.
"If I hadn't come, would you have the confidence to dress Ding Ding up so beautifully?"
Xia Senshi suddenly stopped talking.
This is what Xia Senshi looks like when he is frustrated. His face turns green. Hahahaha…
After getting in the car, Xia Senshi and I were chatting in low voices all the way. He told me to be careful not to expose myself, then told me to stay away from the crowd, and then told me not to smile too sweetly to the male fans.
It was noisy and relaxing along the way. I thought my old problem of being easily nervous had been cured. However, when I saw the huge billboards of anime characters decorated at the "MoeShine" venue, I broke out in cold sweats.
This time I am not participating on behalf of Xia Senshi, but in my own name... and waiting for me inside is an invincible opponent - Lan Lan!
When I got out of the car, my left foot tripped over my right foot and I almost fell down.
Fortunately, Xia Senshi grabbed my hand in time. He said to me in his usual calm and confident voice: "Yan Dingding, don't be afraid. I am here."
This is just a consolation, but when it comes out of Xia Senshi's mouth, I feel that it is more than just consolation. He is like an idol, walking beside me and bringing me infinite energy. And how could I forget that it is Xia Senshi who is actually facing difficulties today!
"What about you? Are you okay?"
"It's okay. I can handle it."
"Okay, I'll come find you once the 'Moe Flash' event is over!"
…
Xia Senshi hugged me tightly and left to prepare for the press conference.
The "Moe Flash" comic exhibition was transformed into a Lilliputian world, strange and cute. The entrance was made into an oversized gray photo frame, and when guests walked in, it was as if they had walked into a wonderful fantasy world. On the colorful double-layer cake-shaped stage, the microphones were all in the shape of yellow candles, and people walking on them felt like walking on soft cream.
The tables and chairs at the venue were also very unique. The tables were made into the shape of a delicate ghost ship. On the left side of the ship was an extremely cute animal world filled with small mushroom chairs with red spots and yellow bodies. On the right side was a dark world of horror anime, with huge spider webs on the corners and dinosaur chairs of various shapes staring at every guest...
I made a quick decision and sat on the cute little mushroom chair on the left, because... because Lan Lan had already chosen a Tyrannosaurus Rex chair. She was staring at me intently, which made me very stressed.
In order to match the theme of the comic exhibition, Lan Lan wore a Gothic lace baby dress today, a black leather collar around her neck, and a delicate and cute flower bud hairstyle. She wore deep eyeshadow, her long eyelashes cast shadows on her snow-white face, and her lips were also a weird purple. I heard that her latest comic work is about vampires...Haha, this outfit is really suitable!
But then again, in my "Contracted Devil", the heroine also seems to like wearing overalls. What a coincidence!
Lan Lan and I stared at each other for a while, and the conference finally began. The hosts dressed as a big bear and a ghost captain jumped onto the stage from both sides, and after a humorous opening speech, they entered the main topic of the day - a cartoonist competition.
The reason why Lan Lan challenged me at the "MoeShan" comic exhibition was because "MoeShan" had a special project - in order to increase the influence of new writers, the audience on site would read five chapters of the author's work on the spot and then vote and rate them.
But today, an unprecedented cartoonist PK competition is about to begin, where countless audiences will choose the winner between me and Lan Lan.
When I thought of this, my nervousness came back.
At this time, the host Captain Ghost said in a weird tone: "Today we have an exciting entertainment activity that has never appeared before! Hahaha!"
The big bear beside him said in a delicate female voice: "That's the first cartoonist PK competition of 'Moe Shining'. The two challengers are: Yan Dingding and Lan Lan!"
Lan Lan confidently stepped onto the stage in her high heels, looking like a delicate Barbie doll on a cake. I was stunned for a long time and didn't move until someone pushed me gently from behind. I woke up and walked up, and when I went on stage, I almost tripped over a big strawberry decoration.
As soon as I stood firm, Lan Lan's fans started cheering , holding up glow sticks and shouting at the top of their lungs.
"Lan Lan, you are the best!"
"Bloodline Oath Twins is number one!"
"Lan Lan is number one!"
"We will win!"
It's over, it's over. I'm getting more and more nervous. Lan Lan actually has fans coming to cheer her on? Oh... the people in the front row seem to be her assistants, no wonder there are so many people!
The host said that a mysterious editor would be invited out soon. He was the most important figure in the comics industry and the editor of Xia Moritoki from "The Firefly Forest"!
I immediately became curious. Who was Xia Senshi's editor? Or the most famous one? How come I didn't know anything about him...
Then, with the music and spotlights, a beautiful lady wearing a sexy little black dress, loose golden wavy hair and high heels walked onto the stage.
Oh my god! Isn't this Bina? It turns out that Bina is the mysterious and most powerful editor!
Bina winked at me, smiled, took the microphone and started speaking.
I didn't hear what she said at all, I was completely in shock. It wasn't until she made a "come on" gesture to me that I believed it was not just my imagination, it was all real.
It turns out that what Xia Senshi meant by "here he is" was to ask Bina to accompany me and give me courage!
"I want to say to these two contestants that you are the hope of the comics industry. Whether you win or lose, remember your hard work, all the bitterness and joy you've experienced, and you'll know that it's a blessing to continue on the path of comics! Come on!"
I sniffed, and many images emerged in my mind, and complex emotions surged in my heart: when I first met Xia Sen, I felt wronged that every stroke and every line was disliked by him, to the entanglement of observing the characters around me every day, and then to the excitement when I finally drew "Contract Demon King"...
I have been growing along the way, and now I should be full of confidence.
I mustered up my courage and looked at Lan Lan.
She looked at me and said in a voice that only I could hear: "So you are not 'Firefly Forest', you were pretending last time! Then I probably picked the wrong person, how about I cancel the competition now?"
I was a little angry. Was she looking down on me?
"No! Now I am the one who challenges you! Lan Lan, even though I am not the 'Firefly Forest', I am not someone you can easily mess with!"
The host, Daxiong, laughed twice and said teasingly, "It seems that our two contestants can't wait any longer! Then let's start our competition now!"
Suddenly, many people in the audience stood up.
I looked over hastily and found that the leader was Yao Duotao! There were many people following her, holding signs like "Come on, Yan Dingding" and "Master Zhuiying, I love you" in their hands.
"Duoduo, why are you here?"
"Ding Ding! We are all fans of "The Contracted Demon King". Don't worry, we are here to cheer you on. Don't be nervous! Come on! Ding Ding!"
"come on! Come on!"
“The Contracted Devil is the best!”
"Chase Ying, chase Ying, you will definitely win!"
…
Hahaha, this slogan is so funny, I almost laughed out loud! It's so funny, it must have been thought up by Yao Duotao!
Looking at everyone's serious faces, many people actually joined the cheering team . I was moved and told myself - Yan Dingding, look, everyone has so much confidence in you, why are you discouraged?
