Chapter 72·Comic Exhibition

The concentration of two-dimensional elements in Haicheng has always been very high, with large and small comic exhibitions happening every month. However, the scale of this comic exhibition is the largest in recent times. Qi Zhixuanguang applied for a booth one month in advance.

On the day of the Comic Exhibition, he arrived at the venue two hours early to set up.The car could only park at the gate, so he had to pull a camper in and slowly take out a lot of stuff.

It contains not only his tools for setting up stalls, but also some beautiful products. I have received materials from everyone at every comic show before, and even people I don’t know will share them selflessly. This feeling of being willing to establish links with strangers because of a shared responsibility is something he finds rare and beautiful, so this time he also specially designed some small things to distribute around when he has time.

By the time the stalls were properly arranged, the comic expo was about to officially open. The stall owners were busy preparing to receive the exhibition. Audiences queuing up outside the venue to check in were also entering the venue one after another. The air was filled with a lively atmosphere of anticipation.

It didn’t take long for Jiang Nan and his party to arrive. Zhang Tao was wearing a black cloak and holding a bull-head mask in his hand. Jiang Nan was wearing a black tuxedo suit and had a tall posture. Only Sun Jia, wearing her own clothes, ran to Qi Zhixuan’s stall.

“Hi, Qi Zhixuan!” Sun Jia was carrying a big burden, but he ran the fastest.

Qi Zhixuan poked his head out of the stall when he heard his name and was shocked to see the big package, “Wow, what are you carrying?”

“Here’s the equipment.” He opened it and handed it over to Qi Zhixuan to see. There was a huge red panda head on the top, which was very fluffy and conspicuous.

“Ah, so cute.” Qi Zhixuan reached out and touched it. It was a little different from what he imagined, and the hair was a little hard. “Is this the role you want to play?”

“Yeah, I want to go shopping first and buy some grain, and I’ll put it on later, otherwise I won’t be able to walk.” He stored the red panda suit with Qi Zhixuan, turned around and ran away.

“Senior brother.” When Jiang Nan came over, there were already people queuing up in front of Qi Zhixuan, waiting for him to draw their portrait.

“You go and do your own work first. I’ll come find you after I finish my work in the afternoon.” Qi Zhixuan was talking to him while quickly adjusting colors.

Zhang Tao came over and took a look, then chased Sun Jia with the cow’s head in his arms.Jiang Nan found a place next to the stall and stood: “It’s okay. I have nothing to do. Is there anything I can do to help you?”

“Well… then you can help me distribute this.” Qi Zhixuan took out a handful of number cards from the box next to him. He only had time in the morning, so he made some number cards, preparing to draw up to 66 people and issue numbers to them. Forget it until they are all distributed. After the distribution is completed, the people behind will not be allowed to line up, so as not to waste everyone’s time.

“Okay.” Jiang Nan took the things and naturally became Qi Zhixuan’s assistant.

The focus of the morning session was on the head painter’s book signing and stage performance. Qi Zhixuan’s booth was not crowded, with only seven or eight people queuing up, and it didn’t take long for the painting to be finished.

“Brother, draw a picture for me too.” Seeing that Qi Zhixuan was not busy anymore, Jiang Nan took a number plate and sat in front of Qi Zhixuan, and took out her mobile phone to scan the QR code to pay.

“Hey, no, there’s no need for this.” Qi Zhixuan covered the payment code, “How can I charge you if you help me here for a long time?”

“It’s me who should thank you.” Jiang Nan moved his hand away and insisted on paying, “You could have set up a stall for a whole day, but because you had to help me with the cosplay, it was reduced to half a day.”

Qi Zhixuan was a little helpless, so he had to let him go and began to draw a portrait of Jiang Nan. “Do you have any elements you want to add?” Qi Zhixuan raised his head and glanced at him.

“No, senior brother, just do whatever you want.” Jiang Nan smiled. He didn’t even need to underline Qi Zhixuan. He started writing very quickly, drawing out his facial features in a few strokes.

Qi Zhixuan looked up at Jiang Nan from time to time to outline the details, and found that this person was a kind of sunny kid with a pretty good smile. He should be the type of young man we are talking about now.

Jiang Nan was also looking at him quietly. Qi Zhixuan’s skin was very white and his eyes were round. When he was looking at people intently, he looked like a docile little animal. When he lowered his head to draw, the hair on his forehead hung down, making him look furry and cute.

“Okay.” Qi Zhixuan finished the painting and raised his hand to fan the wet ink on it. The bracelet on his hand slid down slightly with the movement, revealing a blue mark on his wrist, which was particularly conspicuous on his fair skin.

Jiang Nan felt what kind of pattern it was.

“Senior brother, what are you holding…” Jiang Nan was about to ask when a group of people came not far away and headed this way. The person at the front stretched out his hand to greet Qi Zhixuan and called him “Teacher Qi.”

“Hi, Mengmeng.” Qi Zhixuan stood up with a smile. The person coming was Ai Yimeng, followed by a bunch of friends with gorgeous makeup.

“Teacher Qi, I haven’t seen you for a long time. I finally look forward to seeing you at the comic exhibition.” Ai Yimeng’s high heels were at least 12 centimeters, but the wind was blowing under her feet. She rushed to Qi Zhixuan. She was wearing a floor-length red velvet dress and a very exaggerated hair accessory on her head. Judging from the makeup, it should be a new skin of a certain game character.

“I was too busy before.” Qi Zhixuan smiled and took out a framed scroll from the box next to him, and opened it. Inside was Ai Yimeng’s pet cat, a Maine Coon with fierce eyes. There was a bunch of beautiful lilies of the valley in the background, and the cat was raising its head and stretching out its front paws like a queen.

“Oh my God, it’s you who painted my lily of the valley so beautifully.” Ai Yimeng held it and admired it for a long time. This was a thank-you gift given to her by Qi Zhixuan. At that time, his lawsuit attracted attention on the Internet. Some people said that he had many dramas, how could he have such a twisty plot, and questioned him for promoting traffic.

Qi Zhixuan didn’t want to care about those people, but the words he said were getting more and more ugly. The consumer public was too sympathetic to his parents and so on. Ai Yimeng, as an insider, discussed with Qi Zhixuan and wrote a long clarification post, and also sent out Liang Yuansheng’s apology statement with an official seal. Finally, the matter slowly calmed down.

Qi Zhixuan wanted to thank her several times, but she declined. In the end, she only made a small request: draw a picture for her cat.

“What are these?” Qi Zhixuan looked at the people behind Ai Yimeng with gorgeous makeup. They had already taken numbers in Jiang Nan’s hand, obviously coming to redraw their avatars.

“Oh, we all know each other from the comic exhibition group. They have been wanting to draw with you for a long time. I didn’t come here, so we all arranged to come together.” Ai Yimeng came here specially to take pictures today, so she didn’t bother Qi Zhixuan much and left happily holding the portrait.

By the time Qi Zhixuan finished painting the group of people, it was almost noon, but more and more people were queuing up behind them. Jiang Nan didn’t have many numbers left in her hand, so she planned to issue them all at once, so that the people behind her could stop queuing.

“Friends who haven’t got the number don’t need to queue, only those with numbers!” The crowd gradually dispersed, and only a tall boy was still standing there with a cold expression, but his eyes were always on Qi Zhixuan. Jiang Nan walked over and reminded him again.

“Well, it’s okay.” The man looked cold and didn’t even look at the speaker. Jiang Nan thought that she had warned him and ignored him.

Seeing that it was lunch time, and seeing everyone queuing up hungry, Qi Zhixuan speeded up, lowered his head and turned on the hard painting mode.

When the painting was almost finished, Qi Zhixuan finally had time to take a breath. Jiang Nan filled a glass of water for him with a wink. He took a sip and rubbed his sore neck. He was about to lower his head and continue, but his movements suddenly stopped.

His eyes widened and he looked towards the end of the team, where a familiar tall figure was looking at him with a gentle smile.

It was as if he had been given a shot of cardiotonic, and his chest could not stop beating wildly. Qi Zhixuan wanted to rush over immediately, but there were still people queuing in front of him, so he had no choice but to keep his head down and dive in despite his excitement.

After all the paintings were finished, Pang Whale finally sat down in front of him.

“Why are you back? There is still some time for training.” Qi Zhixuan refused to let him sit across from him, pulled him to his side, looked at him carefully, and finally put his hand on Pang Jing’s face, saying with a little distress: “I feel like you have lost weight.”

“I’m not losing weight, I’m just getting stronger and my body fat rate is lower.” Pang Jing smiled and touched the hand on his face, feeling that Qi Zhixuan had really lost weight.”We have been training very intensively during this period. We have completed our training goals ahead of schedule and have to enter a tapering adjustment period, so the training camp ended early.”

“Then how many days can you stay?”

“I have to leave the day after tomorrow.”

“Okay…”

Pang Jing had no choice. This was already the maximum period. Originally, he wanted to follow the team back to Beijing first, but he thought that Jiang City was only an hour away from Haicheng by high-speed rail. He didn’t know when he would be able to see people when he went back for the holidays, so he begged his master for a long time to let him come first.

“Miss me?” Pang Jing looked at his disappointed look and couldn’t help but get closer. His palm naturally fell on Qi Zhixuan’s head and rubbed it. Just when he was about to come over and kiss his cheek, a voice interrupted him abruptly.

“Brother, are you hungry? I just went out and saw this. You can take a few bites to fill your stomach.” Jiang Nan came over, holding a box of cakes in his hand. According to his observation, Qi Zhixuan seemed to like eating this kind of glutinous food. As soon as he handed out the number plates, he heard someone selling them outside and immediately went to buy a box.

“Hey, it turns out this is your friend.” Jiang Nan walked over and found that the tall boy who had just queued up was sitting next to Qi Zhixuan, who looked very familiar.

“Well… thank you.” The pastry fell in front of Qi Zhixuan, exuding a burst of fragrance. He was really hungry, so he opened the box and ate a piece.

“Sun Jia and the others will come over in a moment. Senior brother, you can invite your friends to have lunch together.” Jiang Nan politely invited, and looked at Pang Jing, his eyes were still so cold, and he always felt that he did not look like a good-tempered person, and he was actually a friend with such a gentle person as Qi Zhixuan.

“Ah?” Qi Zhixuan never thought about this and glanced at Pang Whale next to him.

“Anything is fine.” Pang Jing replied nonchalantly. When Qi Zhixuan picked up the third piece of glutinous rice cake to eat, he stopped him. “Stop eating it. We will eat in a while. If you eat too much, your stomach will feel uncomfortable.”

“Oh.” Qi Zhixuan was very obedient. He wanted to put the piece of cake he had taken a bite out of back into the box, but Pang Jing intercepted him and took it away to eat.

After the four of them had lunch nearby and rested for a while, Jiang Nan took out a set of clothes from the things he brought and asked Qi Zhixuan to change into them, “Senior brother, these are the clothes you are going to wear in the afternoon. You can go change first. There should be no one in the dressing room now. The makeup girl I am looking for will come over and help you with your makeup soon.”

Pang Jing took the heavy clothes from him and said, “Let’s go, I’ll go with you.”

“Okay.”

“Is this the cosplay you said you made for your classmates?” Pang Jing carried the clothes in his hand. The bag was transparent and the contents inside could be seen clearly. The sapphire blue top had a skirt, and there were layers of lace on it, and even a few bows. It didn’t look like a prince like Qi Zhixuan said, but more like a princess’s clothes.

“Ah, yes, it seems that the comics refer to British clothing elements in the 19th century, but this is the first time I have seen the real thing. I didn’t expect it to be so gorgeous.” Qi Zhixuan couldn’t imagine what he would look like wearing such clothes.

The two walked to the dressing room side by side, whispering about the accessories on their clothes, head to head, and their backs were intimate.Jiang Nan stood there and looked at their backs, thoughtfully.
