Yan Qing blushed and stared at Gu Qingyan with a bit of reproach in her eyes.

Gu Qingyan understood instantly.

Yan Qing has been protected too well by Yan Jin since she was a child. She has never been in a relationship and has no knowledge of the opposite sex.

No wonder the little white rabbit got angry when I suddenly talked to her about such a bold thing.

Hehehe, it’s fun.

"Wow, I think this is what Alice should look like when she grows up!"

Gu Qingyan helped her pin the bow and praised her sincerely.

"But you should gain some weight. I'm a little scared of your skinny arms and legs."

Yan Qing looked at the blue skirt that was lifted up and the white lace dotted on the fabric, and couldn't help asking Gu Qingyan,

"You've prepared all the clothes and wigs in just a few days?"

"Of course it wasn't bought recently."

Gu Qingyan said carelessly,

"To be precise, this outfit and wig were originally my birthday presents for you."

Seeing Yan Qing's surprise, Gu Qingyan explained further.

"I originally wanted to give you an Alice in Wonderland-themed birthday party... At that time, I even rented the venue and invited cosplayers."

"As a result, there was a car accident at your house... I thought you were in trouble too. So the birthday party was cancelled."

Gu Qingyan sighed,

"I thought I would never have the chance to see you play Alice in this lifetime."

Then, she patted Yan Qing on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go quickly. Otherwise, by the time we get there, the convention will be over."

……

At the opening of the exhibition, a gorgeous porch built with anime character models welcomes every visitor who steps into this fantasy world. A COSPLAY feast is being staged. Around the stage, the cheers and screams of the audience are intertwined. When you step into it, you will see a variety of stalls, from limited edition figures to homemade fan comics, like stars in the sky.

Yan Qing wandered around the comic exhibition absentmindedly.

As she entered the room, she sent a message to the mysterious man.

[I'm here. I'm Alice, with blonde hair and a blue dress.]

Yan Qing walked while subconsciously observing his surroundings.

However, there were too many tourists and cosplayers, and she couldn't lock on any one target.

"Miss, what are you looking for?"

Gu Qingyan noticed her abnormality.

"Looking around, do you want to go to the bathroom?"

Yan Qing came back to his senses and thought for a moment.

"Qingyan, go play over there by yourself first, and leave me alone. I'll contact you later."

The mysterious man was very cautious, and if Gu Qingyan had been with her, he might not have shown up.

"You're hiding something from me."

Gu Qingyan twisted his chin, looking a little unhappy.

"That's not righteous enough, Miss."

Righteous? These two words came out of her mouth, like a gangster.

Yan Qing thought it was funny.

"I don't intend to keep it a secret from you. Just listen to me first, and when I figure out what's going on, I'll tell you everything."

"Ah... that sentence again."

Gu Qingyan helplessly spread his hands.

"You are so secretive every day. Is there anything you can't tell me?"

"..." Yan Qing was silent for a few seconds, then said seriously,

"If it might put you in danger, I'd rather you know nothing."

"But," Gu Qingyan scratched his head, "I would be very reluctant if you had to bear all this alone. Besides, I'm not dead. I can give you advice and help you with things. I still have a lot of money--"

She couldn't help but laugh, "Yeah, compared to your Fu Wangjin, my little money is nothing."

Looking at Gu Qingyan's smiling face, Yan Qing suddenly lost his mind.

"Hey, stop being in a daze!"

Gu Qingyan stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

"Then I'll go over there to look at the millet!"

……

Yan Qing walked alone in the lively comic exhibition, as if she was Alice lost in wonderland.

She was naturally beautiful, and the clothes, wigs, and props prepared by Gu Qingyan were all high-quality, high-end products.

Although Alice is not a very popular character, many people still come to take photos with her while collecting stamps.

Yan Qing felt a little anxious.

She walked to a relatively quiet corner, took out her phone and started sending messages:

【Where are you? I'm already there. 】

[The comic convention will end in an hour. I need to go home.]

Two seconds after the message was sent, Yan Qing was patted on the shoulder.

"Hey!"

She was startled by the sudden strange touch and almost dropped her phone.

Looking back, a tall man wearing a black mask was standing behind me.

The weather was already hot, but he was still wearing a loose black sweatshirt and trousers, with the hood of his shirt pressing down on his black baseball cap.

Except for a pair of eyes, other parts are completely covered.

The man has deep eyebrows and a stern temperament. Although he is wearing a mask, his sharp jawline can be seen.

He was holding a mobile phone in his hand, and the screen showed the message that Yan Qing had just sent.

Apparently, he was the mysterious man who used Yan Jin's phone number.

Yan Qing was stunned for a long time, then suddenly jumped up in surprise, his eyes lit up.

"Brother Ning Ke! Why are you here? When did you come to the imperial capital?"

The man nodded slightly, his voice a little hoarse.

"I... have been here for a while. Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

"It's okay." Yan Qing shook his head hastily, "I'm glad to see you again."

She looked around and asked curiously, "Why are you wearing a mask? It's so hot, and you're wearing such thick clothes."

Ning Ke hesitated for a moment, first put down his hood, and then took off his mask.

Only then did Yan Qing discover that there was a hideous scar on his left cheek, extending from his forehead to his cheekbone, cutting off his eyebrows.

She couldn't help but gasp, "Your face..."

The man smiled self-deprecatingly and put on his mask and hat again.

The scars are hidden in the shadows.

"Did it scare you? It's ugly, isn't it?"

"No," Yan Qing quickly shook his head, "Not ugly at all. This scar makes you look even cooler!"

The man was stunned and narrowed his eyes. His emotions could not be seen.

"Brother Ning Ke, what happened? Why are you using my brother's phone number?"

After coming back to his senses from the surprise of meeting an old friend, Yan Qing couldn't wait to ask,

"Why are you in the capital? And... why didn't you let me go to the press conference?"

Ning Ke stared at her for a few seconds without answering her question. Instead, he pulled Yan Qing's arm and walked out.

"There are too many people here, and it's too noisy...it's inconvenient to talk."

He glanced outside the field.

"Let's go to the pavilion over there. There aren't many people there."

More importantly, there is a rockery next to the pavilion, where there is a blind spot for surveillance.

Yan Qing didn't suspect anything and followed him out obediently.
