Volume 4 Chapter 54: Annoying Rival!
It’s over—
Lin Lin walked forward with her head down, feeling upset. In her heart, she made a firm decision.
No, this won’t do.
If she doesn’t want to be laughed at by her rival in the future, she has to make a big change. She has to transform!
Wait.
Hasn’t she already transformed?
Uh…
Lin Lin looked at her slim wrist and her fair hand, and fell into deep thought.
She has already turned into a girl. But her personality is still the same. If she “transforms” again… what would she even become?
Forget it. She might as well just stay a quiet otaku girl…
While the girl was thinking about her life plans, Gao Liang was still thinking hard about what he said that made her unhappy.
After thinking again and again, was it the sentence about her being different from other girls?
Hmm… that must be it!
So he quickly tried to fix his mistake and comfort her.
“Lin Lin, that’s not what I meant. I meant that you’re unique!”
“Unique trash, you mean…” Lin Lin lifted her head and looked at him pitifully, making fun of herself.
Gao Liang quickly waved his hands to deny it.
But his words only made things worse. Lin Lin felt even more annoyed.
Why is he always talking about me?!
Why didn’t she learn some topic-changing skills from him? If she knew how to change the topic earlier, would she still be walking shoulder to shoulder with her rival at the convention?
No, she has to change the topic back!
“That’s not it, Lin Lin. I mean, I just like you—”
“Stop!” The small girl beside him shouted quickly, her face turning red.
“Stop talking about me! Talk about yourself! You haven’t answered my question yet! You! Why did you come to the convention? Where did you come from? Where are you going? What do you want to do? Who told you to come? Explain clearly! You’re not allowed to run away!”
“Uh…”
Gao Liang was stunned by her sudden questioning.
Who told him to come? Where did he come from and where was he going?
What kind of strange questions are those?
After realizing she was just talking nonsense out of panic, he smiled and calmly said,
“I came to find someone. And also to see if there’s anything fun at the convention.”
“Find… find someone?”
After hearing his answer, Lin Lin froze.
A strange feeling rose in her heart.
Sour. Bitter.
Who is he here to find?
Seriously… he came to see someone else without telling her? Is it another girl?
That was the first thing Lin Lin thought.
And not just that. If he really came to find a girl, then that girl definitely wasn’t her.
Because Gao Liang didn’t know she was coming to the convention. He looked surprised when he saw her just now. So he clearly didn’t come here for her. He didn’t even know what she was doing today. He never paid attention.
This guy…
Then who did he come to see?
Jealousy filled her heart. She lowered her head and stayed silent.
After walking quietly for a while, the girl finally gathered her courage and asked softly,
“Who… who are you looking for?”
“Hmm.” Gao Liang thought for a moment and gave a small bitter smile.
“A friend… I guess?”
Lin Lin nodded slightly, but her voice already sounded unhappy.
The person her rival wanted to see at the convention was probably some famous cosplayer, right? Maybe a fan meeting or something?
It felt like that was the only reason someone would come to a convention.
Hmph… seriously, this rival really is a playboy!
Ahhh!
Walking beside her, Gao Liang could sense her mood a little. He quickly shook his head and softly said,
“Don’t misunderstand, Lin Lin. I… I didn’t really want to meet this friend at first. It’s just that… I feel like she might have some connection with you. That’s why I came.”
That was the truth.
Gao Liang sighed. If he didn’t feel that there was some faint connection between the Little Vampire and Lin Lin, he wouldn’t have wanted to look into this kind of thing. Other people’s private lives, the real identity of a virtual streamer, many people like to dig into that, but he wasn’t that bored.
But as the image of the Little Vampire and Lin Lin slowly started to overlap in his mind, he couldn’t stop thinking about it.
Maybe the best way to stop overthinking is to face reality directly. That’s why he came here, to see the Little Vampire in person.
Unfortunately…
Lin Lin didn’t realize any of this.
Right now, she thought everything he said was just nonsense.
What is he even talking about?
How could she have any connection with some cosplayers? Did this guy have some weird dream about being together with someone else?
Gross! Just thinking about it makes her feel sick!
Isn’t it enough to just have me—ah, no!
Ahhh!
What is she even thinking?!
This rival already openly admitted that he might have feelings for someone else!
Damn it!
Lin Lin puffed up her cheeks and muttered,
“Don’t drag me into this. Whatever you’re doing has nothing to do with me. Hmph.”
“Okay… fine.”
Gao Liang sighed again. But because of her question, he started thinking about what he originally planned to do today.
Actually, he had planned to come to the convention early, before the Little Vampire’s performance started, and send her a message to ask her to meet him.
So now… when should he contact her?
Uh…
First, there was another question. If he called the Little Vampire, would she even come out?
To be honest, he wasn’t too worried about that.
He had been her top supporter for a long time. If she didn’t even give him a chance to meet once, she would probably feel a little bad about it.
So asking her out shouldn’t be difficult. Last time, Ari-chan even wanted to meet him first. If he hadn’t canceled at that time… This time was a rare chance. He already came all the way here. Unless she wasn’t at her booth, she would definitely come meet him secretly.
And if she wasn’t at the booth, then where else could she be?
Gao Liang didn’t worry about that at all.
But right now, Lin Lin was standing beside him.
Before coming here, he really wanted to see the Little Vampire.
But now… after suddenly meeting Lin Lin, this cute girl beside him somehow calmed his restless and curious heart.
Just walking around with Lin Lin like this didn’t feel boring at all.
Instead, it felt nice.
As for Ari-chan, he could deal with that later.
At worst, he could just contact her after the livestream ended, when the event was over.
