Chapter 144: 45. Lin Gate Expo opens grandly!

Sunday, morning.

Just as the robust sunrise shattered the horizon, it climbed up the walls of a public rental building in the South District, peeking through the windowsill into the eastward-facing room on the sixth floor.

Inside, a black cat ran back and forth on the wooden floor, finally halting by the bathroom door.

It sat down elegantly and meowed cutely at the person inside,

"Meow~"

"I’ll be right there, Miao."

Inside the bathroom, Yan Huan, who stood in front of the washbasin, had already changed into the outfit for the day’s outing.

A relatively loose navy blue plaid shirt complemented the white undershirt perfectly, topped off with a pair of black cargo pants.

He put down the razor and splashed hot water onto his clean, distinct-jawline face.

Breathing out a warm breath, he picked up the hairdryer.

"Whew!"

His damp hair dried while shifting under the alternating cold and warm air of the strong styling setting, transforming into the preferred hairstyle.

Finally, it was sculpted into that exceptionally eye-catching finishing touch.

"Meow~"

Miao lightly leaped onto his shoulder, blinking at the handsome young man in the mirror,

"It’s rare, Meow, you’re getting ready so meticulously today."

The black tail swiped past his earlobe and then curled up high.

"Ahh, well, today is more than just an internal team-building for our student council... Bai Yi will be there too, right?"

"Meow~"

After taking one last look at himself in the mirror, Yan Huan hung up the hairdryer, turned, and walked out of the bathroom,

"All set, let’s get going."

He changed shoes, picked up his breakfast, and stepped out the door.

He didn’t have any large items to carry, so he just pocketed a mobile phone, Bluetooth earbuds, wallet, and house keys before heading out.

Oh, and there was that ticket he had prepared for Sakuragi Hitomi.

While munching on the meat floss bun he bought at the convenience store after work yesterday, he opened plane and sent a message to Yahashiki.

A "shaking head" cat emoji led the way, followed by a text asking,

"I’m heading out, will first get to the subway station near your place, and then we can go together."

"OK."

A busty, blonde, two-dimensional beauty gave a thumbs up.

He also sent a message to everyone in the group,

"Bai Yi and I have set off, shall we meet at the Golden Lion Convention Center in Jinghe District at 8:30?"

After receiving affirmative responses from everyone, Yan Huan wore a Bluetooth earbud and listened to music as he walked to the nearby subway station.

It was about a fifteen-minute walk, and he passed the closed Tongyao Tavern along the way.

Tong Yingying was probably still asleep at this time around seven in the morning.

Having finished the meat floss bun and a box of milk, he threw away the trash in a bin right at the entrance of the subway station.

With phone’s scan code function, he entered the station, taking the Line 11 toward Jinghe District, just one stop away from Yahashiki’s nearby station.

"Ding dong! South Fifth Street Station, here we are."

He exited the station and waited a moment for him; soon, Yahashiki arrived.

"President!!"

Yan Huan, who was playing with his phone on the platform, turned towards the voice and saw Yahashiki running excitedly towards him.

This guy wore a face mask and a grey T-shirt.

He carried an enormous backpack and held a paper bag in each hand, both filled with things.

Already physically weak as a nerdy otaku, running with a bunch of stuff and wearing a face mask was practically suffocating him.

"Ha... ha... President... ha..."

"Running with a mask, you’re something else. Stop already."

Yan Huan patted his back and told him to take off the mask to breathe easier, while his gaze gravitated towards the various bags he was carrying,

"What’s all this you’ve got? Bags big and small."

Yahashiki, while catching his breath, peeled open a bag a bit to show Yan Huan,

"Ha... This bag is for freebies, it’s got snacks to hand out to cosplayers, along with Sound Support Sticks, posters for signed autographs from Ai-chan...

"And in this bag, there are papers, pens, mats, water, bread, power banks and stuff, and the backpack contains camera equipment to take pictures of people later."

All this stuff, isn’t it too much?!

Yan Huan raised an eyebrow and pulled out something resembling a Magic Wand from one of the bags, asking curiously,

"And what’s this?"

Yahashiki saw Yan Huan take that thing out and his face changed instantly, he quickly said,

"Wait a second, President! Don’t press that button, your finger!"

But Yan Huan hadn’t noticed the small button on the part he was holding, and accidentally pressed it.

Then, that little stick started to make sounds,

"May I take a photo with you, thank you."

Press it again.

"May I get a photo with you for my collection, thank you."

Collecting photos, in the otaku culture, means requesting to take a photo together.

Press it again.

"May I add you to expand my friend list, thank you."

An internet slang term for expanding the friend list, essentially asking to add someone on plane.

All recordings were Yahashiki’s voice.

"..."

Holding the "Sound Support Stick" in his hand, Yan Huan stared blankly at Yahashiki.

Yahashiki, feeling a bit embarrassed as he was watched, hurriedly snatched the stick back from Yan Huan’s hand and explained,

"I have social anxiety, President, I really do! I’m a bit too shy to ask cosplayers for photos and to exchange contacts or expand friend lists, so I recorded the voice. When the time comes, I just press it."

"You sure are well-prepared..."

"After all, I attend conventions often. Rather than saying I brought too much, it’s more like you haven’t brought enough, President."
