"Ding-a-ling—"
With a classic and familiar electric bell ringing, it signaled the end of this year's college entrance examination.
The moment Song Qiuyue walked out of the examination hall after packing her things, the pressure and gloom that had accumulated on her for several days vanished, and she was finally… liberated.
Although this was just a small interlude in life, before the college entrance examination results were released, this would be one of the few peaceful times in her life, at least for her.
"Qiuyue! Over here!"
In the corner by the stairwell, Song Qiuyue's good friend, Chen Yingshi, was waving at her.
"Shishi!"
"How do you feel?"
"Hmm, it should be alright…"
Song Qiuyue said somewhat uncertainly.
"If it's you, there's definitely no problem!"
Chen Yingshi patted her on the back, grinning, then changed the subject.
"So, what are your plans for today? Do you want to go to Wanda with me to browse the merchandise stores? I'm going to go all out on collecting merchandise!"
"We'll see."
Song Qiuyue smiled.
"My brother said he's coming to pick me up, and it's not easy for him to come all this way, so I can't just leave him waiting, can I?"
"Indeed."
Chen Yingshi nodded in agreement.
"That's great… Let's go, let's go! Maybe your brother has prepared a surprise for you."
"Hahaha, maybe so."
With that, the two quickly followed the crowd out of the teaching building and walked towards the school gate, but before they even reached the gate, they heard exclamations from the crowd ahead.
"Wow!"
"Holy cow!"
"Ms. Ruan Mei!"
Even more so… someone in the crowd shouted, "Ms. Ruan Mei, I'm your dog!" Had they already given up their right to choose a partner for three years of high school?
Oh, they've already graduated from senior high, then it's fine.
Moreover, at this critical juncture after the college entrance examination, this level of abstract rhetoric often receives more tolerance and understanding; even their parents would probably just smile if they heard it.
"But… is there a Ms. Ruan Mei cosplayer at the school gate?"
Chen Yingshi asked, somewhat puzzled, and then excitedly jumped up, wanting to see what was happening. She couldn't help it; she was a fan of Ms. Ruan Mei.
Soon, Chen Yingshi and Song Qiuyue saw the black-haired cheongsam beauty surrounded by layers of people.
"Holy moly! This Ms. Ruan Mei! So accurate! No need for Photoshop! It's incredible!"
Song Qiuyue also looked at the woman in the distance and nodded in approval. She dabbled in cosplay and naturally understood how difficult it was to achieve such a high level of accuracy in a live cosplay. This was simply Ms. Ruan Mei herself!
However, for some reason, Song Qiuyue felt as if this Ms. Ruan Mei sister smiled and nodded at her.
Of course, it might have been an illusion, because… "Holy cow! Qiuyue! Ms. Ruan Mei is nodding at me! She has me in her heart!"
Chen Yingshi beside her had already let out a sharp scream. Of course, she wasn't the only one saying similar things, but what excited her was far more than just that.
Because—that Ms. Ruan Mei sister was walking towards them.
As Ms. Ruan Mei strolled forward, the surrounding onlookers made way for her, and at the same time, many people looked at her with anticipation, eagerly eyeing the exquisite paper bag in her hand.
And as this Ms. Ruan Mei approached, Song Qiuyue, who had initially felt nothing, couldn't help but feel her heart quicken. It wasn't just the flutter of being swayed, but also an inexpressible anticipation, which intensified as the distance shortened.
In fact, Song Qiuyue had a premonition that the other person… was coming for her.
And in the end, the fantasy seemed to become reality.
This Ms. Ruan Mei cosplayer stood in front of her. At this distance, Song Qiuyue could smell her pleasant incense and see the details on her clothes. The closer she got, the more incredible Song Qiuyue felt.
This was truly… such a magnificent face, this temperament, this figure… equally incredible, the real Ms. Ruan Mei could be no more.
Song Qiuyue was completely engrossed, until… until the other person raised her hand and handed her the paper bag with the plum blossom pattern.
"This is… for me?"
Song Qiuyue looked at the paper bag handed to her. She could even smell a faint fragrance of pastries wafting from it, but at this moment, she was more bewildered and incredulous. Why, among so many people, would she give it to her?
"Of course."
A calm and cool, mature female voice entered Song Qiuyue's ears.
"This is your reward."
"Rew… reward…"
Song Qiuyue's eyes widened, and she subconsciously covered her mouth.
No… this… who could resist this! Who understands the sheer value of your favorite fictional character suddenly appearing in the real world and giving you a gift as a reward?
"Hey! Qiuyue, take it quickly! If you don't want it, I do!"
Chen Yingshi's voice beside her was full of envy, but she still reminded her. She actually understood a little; it was impossible for a Ms. Ruan Mei cosplayer to just come and give a gift for no reason. This… this must be a surprise prepared by Song Qiuyue's brother.
"Uh… okay!"
Hearing Chen Yingshi's urgent prompting, Song Qiuyue finally came to her senses and took the paper bag handed to her by Ms. Ruan Mei. The paper bag opened, revealing exquisite white pastries.
Seeing Song Qiuyue accept the pastries, Mo Yu's face also showed a subtle smile. If you asked him how he felt now?
He actually felt pretty good, but when cosplaying Ms. Ruan Mei, it wasn't good to show it directly, after all, this didn't fit Ms. Ruan Mei's personality.
"Let's go."
Ms. Ruan Mei's cool yet gentle voice came, making Song Qiuyue slightly stunned. She looked up, somewhat confused, at Ms. Ruan Mei in front of her.
"Are you calling me?"
However, this time, Ms. Ruan Mei did not answer, but simply walked forward on her own. Passersby had already taken out their phones and other photographic equipment to take pictures.
And Song Qiuyue and Chen Yingshi exchanged glances, eventually choosing to follow her.
What? You say the other person might be a human trafficker? Have you ever seen a human trafficker like this? And there are so many people around. Of course, in fact, Song Qiuyue already had a few guesses in her heart.
Sure enough… after following Ms. Ruan Mei for a distance, they saw a familiar figure standing under the shade of a tree not far away, and between two trees hung a banner— "Welcome home, my sister Song Qiuyue! May you be bathed in truth!"
And seeing this figure, Song Qiuyue's expression went from bewildered to stunned, and finally to covering her face and secretly laughing. She couldn't help it; Song Xiayang's Professor Ratio was a bit too abstract.
To be honest, as his sister, this was also the first time she had seen her older brother in women's clothing, and a cheongsam… a muscular man in a cheongsam… this…
