Rebirth of COSPLAY

When Xiao Ze stepped into the COS circle, he knew how chaotic it was, so he was mentally prepared from the beginning.

During the exam, he didn't think about the things that disturbed his mood. After a few days, all the exams were finally over.

Li Chengran was very surprised by Xiao Ze's concentration.

During the exam, he also tried to comfort Xiao Ze, telling him not to take those things to heart, but Xiao Ze smiled and told him that he was fine.He didn't believe it at first, but after seeing Xiao Ze studying so seriously, he put the matter aside with half-belief.

It was Xiao Yanchen who really made Xiao Ze's mood fluctuate.

I don't know what's going on, Xiao Yanchen, who was in a cold war with Xiao Ze before, and who didn't say anything in the dormitory, suddenly eased his attitude.

Although it is still a little cold compared to the beginning, it is at least normal now.Xiao Ze was very pleasantly surprised.

On the night when all four people in the dormitory finished their exams, Li Chengran very excitedly proposed to go out for supper.

It was impossible for Xiao Yanchen and Jiang Sheng to react, but Xiao Ze was in a good mood, so he agreed.In the end, Che Gongjiao was added, and the five boys went to the school entertainment area to eat supper at night.

On the day after the exam, many students played in the entertainment area.Playing billiards, singing, or playing games, there are many tricks in the school entertainment area, and each place is not deserted tonight.

The five of them found a Korean paper barbecue restaurant, and as soon as they entered, Jiang Sheng and Xiao Ze sat on one side very naturally, and Li Chengran and Che Gongjiao sat on the other side.And Xiao Yanchen... sat in the outermost seat with a stinky face.

Che Gongjiao and Li Chengran knew something was wrong as soon as they sat down. They looked at Jiang Sheng and Xiao Ze who were sitting opposite them, then looked at each other again, and finally bowed their heads and swallowed silently.

Of course, Xiao Ze was also a little embarrassed, but at this time, he was a little awkward to give up his seat to Xiao Yanchen.

Xiao Yanchen saw everything in his eyes, curled his lips, reached for the menu on the table, picked up a pen and began to tick.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, Xiao Ze quickly thought of a topic and asked, "When are you going home?"

The few people sitting here are all from this city, and they can go home whenever they want, so this topic is really meaningless.Xiao Ze touched his nose and smiled dryly.

"Uh...it will be fine after a while, haha..." Li Chengran bit the bullet and continued the topic, "By the way, when can we hang out together again!"

"Winter vacation..." Speaking of this topic, Che Gongjiao seemed to suddenly think of something, and frowned in pain, "Speaking of which, Brother Xiao, your parents haven't let me go until now, please help me Bar!"

Xiao Yanchen glanced at him lazily, handed the menu to the waiter standing aside, and said, "Who will save me if I save you?"

"Why do you have to go abroad in such a hurry?"

Xiao Yanchen glanced at Xiao Ze unnaturally, straightened his sitting posture, and muttered impatiently: "I don't know."

Xiao Ze thought for a while, and asked hesitantly, "When do your parents want you to go abroad?"

Xiao Yanchen turned his head away unnaturally, remained silent for a while, and said, "About March."

"So fast?!" Li Chengran was surprised.

"Are you in such a hurry..." Xiao Ze said depressedly.

Noticing Xiao Yanchen's unnatural gaze when he looked at Xiao Ze, Jiang Sheng raised his eyebrows, and patted Xiao Ze's head with his hand habitually.

Seeing Jiang Cheng and Xiao Ze's intimacy, Xiao Yanchen was still uncomfortable, but after thinking it over clearly, he no longer felt disappointed and angry like before.He used to hang out with Xiao Ze, and his parents didn't say much about him when they saw that he was able to maintain his grades while hanging out with this kind of friend.But some time ago, because of the cold war with Xiao Ze, he himself looked the same as usual on the surface, but he was actually a lot more decadent.

At that time, his parents couldn't see it anymore, and said that they should either cut him off from Xiao Ze, or send him abroad.

He didn't choose either option, so his parents made a decision for him directly and started to deal with the matter of going abroad.

This kind of reason tells Xiao Ze that that guy will probably feel guilty again.

Jiang Sheng probably guessed the reason, so he diverted Xiao Ze's attention and told him not to ask any further questions.

Pork belly, beef, and other raw meat and lettuce were brought up, and oil and water sizzled on a layer of thin paper.

Li Chengran and Che Gongjiao were already drooling and immediately put the meat between them.

"By the way, there will be an international cosplay competition soon, right?" Li Chengran suddenly mentioned.

Everyone was stunned.

"What is that?" Che Gongjiao asked strangely.

"The International Cosplay Competition, the one held every two years. But it's international, but it was actually initiated by China, and all four rounds of the competition are held in China." Li Chengran spread his hands.

"Have you ever joined the LING club before?" Xiao Ze asked curiously.

"Although it is an international cosplay competition, because China is the organizer, there are actually not many foreign teams," Jiang Sheng said calmly after putting a piece of cooked pork belly on Xiao Ze's plate, "The competition will not be very fierce. LING took No.3 the year before last."

"It's all like this. Although the COS circle is very powerful now, it has not yet reached the point where Asia and Europe attach great importance to it." Li Chengran shrugged, "But foreigners are very enthusiastic. I remember that No.2 was a team the year before last. A team from England, right?"

"There should be quite a few Japanese, right?" Che Gongjiao said.

"But now cosplay is the best in China." Xiao Yanchen said lightly.Although he doesn't know much about the COS circle, he still knows these things.

"Will the Jiuyue Society participate in this competition?" Li Chengran asked.

Xiao Ze was stunned.

Jiuyue Club... In fact, people who really like cosplay will hope to participate in such a competition, right?

After that, several people just patronized to eat without talking about anything.

There are not many people in the restaurant, except for their table, there are two other tables, quiet.

Xiao Ze was thinking about the International Cosplay Competition in his head, and while eating the barbecue, he suddenly felt something, and looked up at the table next to him suspiciously.

As a result, his eyes swept over, and the people who were pointing at them retracted their heads.

Xiao Ze frowned.

Noticing Xiao Ze's gaze, Xiao Yanchen also turned his head, and saw a person holding a mobile phone facing them at a glance, stood up immediately, and walked over angrily: "What are you doing?!"

Startled by this movement, everyone in the restaurant immediately focused their attention on this place.

Seeing that Xiao Yanchen wanted to shoot his phone, that person immediately hid it, shouting, "What are you doing?!"

The two quarreled for a while.

Jiang Sheng stood up suddenly.

Xiao Ze was awakened by the sound of his chair moving away, and quickly said, "Wait, don't quarrel!"

Jiang Sheng held his hand, patted his head to comfort him, got up and walked over.

Seeing Jiang Sheng approaching, that person lowered his voice, and mumbled, "...Jiang Sheng."

"You know him?" Xiao Yanchen pointed at the boy and said angrily.

"I don't know." Jiang Sheng said coldly.

The boy was stunned, blushed and said, "...I'm also in the photography class."

Jiang Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Use a mobile phone to take pictures?"

"..."

The girls next to them watched the show, and they didn't panic in front of the two big boys. They even leaned forward and asked curiously, "Hey, you're Yue Cheng, right? Are you really with Xiao Ze?"

"Is it true what is said on the Internet?"

Xiao Yanchen's face turned dark immediately.

Jiang Sheng had no expression on his face.

Xiao Ze sat in his original position and listened to their conversation. He hadn't reacted before, but when he heard the girl say this, he immediately frowned, stood up and pushed the chair away.Li Chengran and Che Gongjiao pulled him back.

"Are you bothered? Isn't it interesting to inquire about other people's private lives?" Xiao Yanchen roared.

After being yelled at by him like this, the two girls suddenly lost their courage a lot.Looking at each other, one of the girls curled her lips and said, "It's been circulating on the Internet...that post..."

"Yes, even the chat records have been released!"

Xiao Yanchen was stunned.

Jiang Sheng frowned slightly.

Xiao Ze's cell phone rang suddenly.

He pressed the button without looking at it, but within two seconds, the bell rang again.

Xiao Ze had no choice but to pick it up.

Luo Xing's calm voice sounded from the phone: "The editor of "Beauty Chronicles" can already help you and Yue Cheng write a history of their relationship development."

The host of that post posted the chat record between himself and the editor under the voice of some people downstairs who said "you can't talk nonsense without evidence".Of course, the nickname and YAYA's number have all been painted over.

The editor told him that when he was interviewing the Jiuyue Club, he saw Yue Cheng was also helping with photography on the spot.She remembered that a senior from the magazine once told her that when she went to Yuecheng's house for an interview, she seemed to have seen REL standing upstairs in pajamas.Out of curiosity, she casually asked about the relationship between Xia Yuecheng and L on the spot, but Yuecheng evaded the question.

The editor described it carefully, adding oil and vinegar to make it seem real.

...Of course, it is true that Yuecheng and L are together...

However, the homosexuality between cosers is not a big hot spot. The problem is that Yuecheng is the judge of the cosplay competition, and L seems to be connected with the sponsor. Everyone is doubting the No.1 of Jiuyue Club. Is it worthy of the name.

The next day, a group of people from the Jiuyue Club gathered at a McDonald's.

"Tsk, this editor is really..." Er Shao said speechlessly, "This kind of chat record, you can know who the other party is at a glance!"

There seems to be only one editor who has interviewed the Jiuyue Club, and that is the editor of "Beauty History" last time.

"An editor who has been working in "Beauty Magazine" for a long time will not make such mistakes, at least he will not gossip about cosplayers." Luo Xing rested his chin on his hands and played with his phone boredly. "The last time we interviewed was A new editor."

Although the performance in the finals of the Jiuyue club caused a lot of repercussions, they were a small club after all, so "Beauty Magazine" didn't seem to pay much attention to it, and sent a new editor who had just joined the magazine to interview them.The new editor couldn't keep his mouth shut, and was told all about it on the Internet. Xiao Ze and the others could already imagine that once the editor-in-chief of "Beauty Magazine" saw this record, that new editor would soon be unable to get along.

Xiao Ze glanced around.

Although a few were very angry about these out-of-the-box things, most of them were calm and seemed not to take this matter to heart at all.

In fact, they are right, even if they refute it, it is useless.There is no evidence on both sides - even if the poster showed the chat records, the new editor himself is just guessing, so there is nothing to argue about this post.

Letting out a breath slowly, Xiao Ze put "Beauty History" on the table.

Luo Xing glanced at him, nudged him with his elbow, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Is that pajamas incident real?"

The pajamas incident... Xiao Ze twitched the corners of his mouth, and said depressedly: "It's true...but it's not like what the editor said..."

"The two of you slept in the sheets all night?" Luo Xing continued.

"..." Xiao Ze said speechlessly, "I made armor at his house the night before, and because I did it very late, I slept directly at his house!"

"It's really boring." Luo Xing laughed.

Xiao Ze: "..."

The solution for Popsicles is to ban everyone here from posting online.

Let those people make their own fuss, as long as they don't respond, things will calm down.

But I don't have to speak, so let's go and watch the landlord's head office, shall we?They went to check the posting records of that ID, and found that every post was a fight.Some people called him a pickpocket, but they ignored them and continued to attack every group or individual that became popular or had a trend of prosperity.But the most interesting thing is that Er Shao and the others found that every time this person posts, his tone and style are different, and he doesn't feel like a person.

"This isn't a fight gang, is it?" someone doubted.

Er Shao stared at the webpage meaningfully for a long time, and slowly said: "We should think this way, our club will soon become popular."

"It's about pinching the club..." Sunlight was completely speechless from his initial anger, "Actually, he is helping us become famous!"

Luo Xing stood aside with arms folded, and said with a smile: "Guess, this gang is the club that tampered with my props last time. How likely is it?"

Xiao Ze glanced at him in surprise.

"That club is messed up." Popsicles only commented like this.

"We should participate in the international cosplay competition that started in the winter vacation," Luo Xing said, "They will definitely participate."

"Do you mean..." Xiao Ze hesitated, and said, "...will they still do that kind of thing?"

Luo Xing shrugged: "It's just that I checked the records of their participation in the competition. Every time there is a competition, there will always be a problem with one club."

"This is too much!" Xiao Ze frowned.

"Some people don't know what 'excessive' is," Luo Xing said with a smile. "They are obviously a commercial society, trying every means to become famous and accept various commercial jobs. They have released cosplay for a game before, But the effect..." Luo Xing just shook his head.

Xiao Ze remained silent.

Good cosplay, with this kind of community, it really makes people feel bad.

"We must win them!" He said firmly.

Luo Xing glanced at him.

Bang Bangbing nodded: "You can't lose to this kind of club."

After the exams, the students went back to their hometown one after another.

As soon as Xiao Ze got home, Father Xiao stopped him, frowning and asked him what was going on online.

Xiao's mother must have told Xiao's father about him and Jiang Sheng being together before, so Xiao Ze honestly admitted it.It is true that he and Jiang Sheng are together, but No.1 is definitely not tricky, that score was given by the judges.

"Who asked you this!" Father Xiao hit Xiao Ze on the head with a chestnut, "When did I say that your No. 1!" Father Xiao was bearded and stared at by Xiao Ze angrily.

Xiao Ze is embarrassed.

"I mean, have you guys thought about how to deal with this kind of thing!"

"Our team leader said to ignore them." After a pause, Xiao Ze explained, "If you can't explain this kind of thing clearly, it's best to keep silent."

"But the impact of that post is hard to say," Father Xiao frowned, "And you are willing to be said like this? The boss behind the scenes of the club, when did you become so powerful!"

"..." Xiao Ze said with the corners of his mouth twitching, "Those are all nonsense, how can it be so complicated, and it's not like writing a novel..." After a pause, he said seriously, "Anyway, we can do it with our strength. gone."

Father Xiao pondered for a while, then nodded.

"Then I don't care about this kind of thing anymore. In fact, no matter what line of society you are in, there will always be times when you can't explain clearly. It's a bit aggrieved, but the solution is the same," Father Xiao said earnestly. , "You should also remember well in the future, no matter what others say about you, when there is no definite solution, you should stop their mouths with actions. A powerful person is a powerful person. If you are better than them, they will naturally say anything." I can't tell."

Xiao Ze was taken aback, then raised the corner of his mouth and nodded.

The commotion continued on the Internet, but no one from the Jiuyue Club, Jiang Shengyi, or the organizer of the competition came out to express their views. Many people have already withdrawn from this farce.

"Beautiful People" did not specifically apologize to them, but it has already fired the new editor.

Not long after, the International Cosplay Contest was about to start, and new hot spots appeared, and the posts about Jiuyue Club were completely submerged.

During the Chinese New Year, the results of Li Chengran's COSPLAY photos from the previous year came out, and his "Urban Nightmare" COS photo won No.1.

Li Chengran excitedly told Xiao Ze the news, and discussed with him how to spend the bonus for a long time.

Good things happened one after another. After that, another editor approached Li Chengran and said that he wanted to publish his "Urban Nightmare".

In fact, the novel "Urban Nightmare" is more suitable for publishing because of Li Chengran's writing style and setting.Therefore, although this article has become popular now, it was so cold that Li Chengran hardly had any confidence.

This news completely shocked Li Chengran—what author would not want to see his words printed on paper!He is so happy and crazy!

This cultural company is called "Ledu" and often publishes online literature.The company has also held several COSPLAY performances of novels, so it can be said that it is a very good big company.

When he heard the news, Xiao Ze already had an idea in his mind.

He suddenly wanted to try the stage play of "Urban Nightmare".

Of course, everything has to be done slowly, the first thing he has to think about now is the international cosplay competition.

The International COSPLAY Competition is divided into four rounds.

The first round is the online COSPLAY Photo Contest.Each club uploads the cosplay photos, and the judges screen and select one hundred teams.

Because of the heavy workload in the first round, registration will be closed during the winter vacation, and the list will not be announced until March.

Some associations directly upload the previous COS photos, while others publish a new set.However, because most of the members of the Jiuyue Club are students, there is no time to release another cosplay before the registration deadline, so Popsicle uploaded the interior photos of their previous "Knights of the Round Table".

The time between the announcement of the first round list and the start of the second round was very short, so no matter whether they were selected in the first round or not, they directly started preparing for the second round.

The second round is to be on stage, but it is stipulated that only catwalks are allowed, and no drama performances are allowed.The time of each club is very short. In this short time, the performances are wonderful and the character of the characters must be shown.

The second round of Jiuyue Society's plan is a fantasy novel.

This time, Xiao Ze had the honor to cosplay the main character, a young elf king.
