Rebirth of COSPLAY

The lounge door was not closed, it was ajar.

Xiao Ze took a glass of water, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Jiang Sheng sitting on a chair with his head slightly lowered, unable to see his expression clearly.

The left arm was tightly bandaged, which seemed extremely disharmonious to him.

The slight sound when the door opened woke him up, he turned his head and glanced at Xiao Ze.

Xiao Ze squeezed the water glass tightly, walked in unnaturally, twitched the corner of his mouth and said "It's all right", and passed the water over.

Jiang Sheng looked at the water glass in Xiao Ze's hand, took it, hesitated for a second or two, and said softly, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

Xiao Ze was startled, and suddenly frowned in distress, feeling his heart was in a panic.

Jiang Sheng drank the water slowly and stopped looking at Xiao Ze.

Xiao Ze stared at the top of his head, opened and closed his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He hadn't spoken to the boy in front of him for a month, and it was caused by himself - just because of Xiao Yanchen's two words.

Before, he couldn't tell which sentence made him afraid to face Jiang Sheng.

Did Xiao Yanchen ask him if he liked Jiang Sheng's line, or did Xiao Yanchen tell him that Jiang Sheng didn't like his line?

Xiao Ze didn't think about it carefully at the time.

But after chatting with Luo Xing, he always felt that he seemed to have thought a little more clearly.It feels like he will sort out his mood soon, but Xiao Ze is also afraid of the answer buried at the bottom.

Of course, the only thing he knows now is that he wants to get close to Jiang Sheng.

Regardless of whether there are any problems between them, the cold war is always bad, so this matter, in the final analysis, is still his fault.And the fact that Jiang Sheng rushed up to protect him and even hurt himself just now made Xiao Ze feel even more guilty.

Taking a deep breath, he said sincerely, "I'm sorry."

Jiang Cheng was taken aback, and looked up at him in surprise.

Xiao Ze blushed, and said with a little embarrassment: "...It seems that we haven't talked for a long time... Thank you just now."

Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "It's good that you're fine."

Xiao Ze choked, coughed unnaturally, turned his eyes away, and whispered, "Will it have any effect? ​​You should go to the hospital to have a look."

"It's a waste of time to go to the hospital for this kind of wound," Jiang Sheng said, raising his eyebrows, "The judges of the cosplay competition will not have any problems, and you are the one participating in the competition."

"The game is not the most important thing." Xiao Ze muttered.

Jiang Sheng's ears caught this sentence, his eyes flashed inexplicably, and his face remained unchanged: "For you, the game is not important, so what is the most important?"

Xiao Ze was taken aback, and turned to look at Jiang Sheng.

With a smile on the corner of the other party's mouth, he looked at him tenderly, as if he understood all his thoughts.

He likes cosplay. In many respects, he does put cosplay first, but there are also some things that cosplay cannot compare with.

But what are those things?

Without waiting for Xiao Ze to give an answer, Jiang Sheng lowered his head, lowered his eyes, and said softly, "Those people in school praised me very much, but in fact I was never that kind of person. Of course, I don't care what they think of me." I never cared about it, after all, it's all indifferent things."

Xiao Ze was stunned, and retorted subconsciously: "But you are indeed very good."

Jiang Sheng looked up at him.

The corner of Xiao Ze's mouth twitched, and he said in a low voice, "Your grades are very good, and you are quite handsome. You are very good at cosplay, photography, etc. Many people in school admire you..." including himself.

Jiang Sheng laughed, and jokingly said, "Do you think I'm so powerful?"

"Cosplay is not what I'm most interested in. After all, isn't your cosplay level higher than mine?"

"Huh?" Xiao Ze was stunned. The level of COS is higher than him - is this what Jiang Sheng thinks of him?Secretly pleasantly surprised, but Xiao Ze still said seriously: "For COS, besides the image, the feeling is also the most important. The former is different for everyone, but the latter you have always done better than me."

"Did you think so?"

"……Yes?"

"So when you were cosplaying those characters, did you feel that you didn't show them?"

"This..." Xiao Ze was stopped by the question. After thinking about it carefully, he still frowned and said, "Why do people think I don't know, but I think I've done my job well."

"You choose the cosplay role because you like that character, so what others think of your cosplay is not the most important thing, as long as you feel that you have performed the role fully, your cosplay is successful." Jiang Sheng Said.

It's rare to say so many thoughts on this aspect, Xiao Ze was stunned by Jiang Sheng's words.

Xiao Ze understands what he said, but Xiao Ze has always felt that to restore his favorite character, the cosplay is successful only when others also think that his cosplay is very similar.But now Jiang Sheng told him that as long as he felt successful, it was fine.

Jiang Sheng pulled over a chair next to him, and Xiao Ze walked over and sat down.The two sat side by side, looking at each other in the mirror.

Jiang Sheng said indifferently: "Nowadays, there are many large associations that conduct commercial cosplay. The more gorgeous the scenery, the better. If others feel satisfied, they can earn more money. But is this kind of cosplay what you want to do?"

Xiao Ze immediately shook his head: "I don't intend to make money from cosplay, it's boring."

Jiang Sheng smiled: "Then you don't need to care about whether others think you have a similar cosplay, if it's just because of love, then you can do what you like, at least I think what you have done so far is very good .”

Xiao Ze nodded, then turned his head and asked, "But you charged tickets for your performance last time."

Jiang Sheng raised his eyebrows and said, "The space is limited, in order to avoid accidents, this is necessary."

Xiao Ze: "..."

Well, he knows how powerful the LING community is.

Then, the two fell silent again.

After a while, Jiang Sheng spoke first.

"I... sometimes I don't know what other people are thinking..."

Xiao Ze glanced at him suspiciously.

His face was slightly stiff, perhaps it was the first time he said such words to others, Jiang Sheng looked a little embarrassed: "Sometimes I can't figure out what you are thinking."

"..." Xiao Ze opened his mouth slightly, looking at Jiang Sheng in surprise.

It's rare to see him so embarrassed... But what he said...

What he meant was that he didn't know why Xiao Ze ignored him, so he didn't know what to do to break the stiff atmosphere?

Xiao Ze shrank his head, feeling even more regretful.

From the beginning to the end of this incident, Jiang Sheng actually did nothing wrong.

The cold war started with Xiao Ze, he didn't even ask the question clearly before that...

Ask clearly, the conversation between him and Xiao Yanchen on the mountain that day——

Xiao Ze was frightened by the thoughts in his heart, and stayed there...

"So, if in the future..." Jiang Sheng said after a pause, "If you have any problems in the future, tell me."

Xiao Ze pursed his lips, opened them, and the words came to his lips.

He did have doubts.

Of Xiao Yanchen's two sentences, one of them was put behind his mind after talking with Luo Xing, while the other sentence was infinitely magnified in his mind.

There was an idea in his mind - he wanted to ask clearly.

Jiang Sheng stared at him motionlessly, waiting for his words very seriously.

Xiao Ze looked into these pitch-black eyes, and the words on his lips turned and turned, and his mood suddenly became tense.

He hesitated for a long time, but in the end, the words were swallowed back.

Twitching the corners of his mouth, Xiao Ze forced a smile. Xiao Ze shook his head and said, "No problem. I was busy rehearsing a while ago, so I don't have much time."

Nodding hesitantly, Jiang Sheng didn't say anything else.

Naturally, their rehearsal could no longer continue, but the venue staff rescheduled them for the next week.

Xiao Ze and Jiang Sheng also became close again, but the weird atmosphere between the two has always existed.

Seeing Xiao Ze and Jiang Sheng getting close, Xiao Yanchen looked on coldly and didn't say anything more.Xiao Ze always had a feeling——Xiao Yanchen seemed to completely treat him as a stranger.

Although Xiao Ze was depressed, he didn't take the initiative to talk to him, and planned to wait until after New Year's Day.The most important thing now is for both parties to calm down.

One week before the competition, they rehearsed on the spot for the last time, and then the cosplay finals ushered in.
