Age of Legends

Chapter 123: No fight?

"Zombies?"

It's also strange that during the registration for this anime club, Feng Rui had heard of cosplaying Dragon Ball, cosplaying Pikachu, and cosplaying Conan, but it was the first time she heard of cosplaying zombies.

As a fan, this... is hard to comment on. I don't think it's the direction a normal anime fan would choose.

"What's wrong? Isn't it okay? Aren't zombies a traditional horror element? Isn't the essence of cosplay that you can play anything? Zombies are good. Isn't there a legend of zombies in Rongcheng? It's just right. Let's give everyone a refreshment." In fact, Zhang Chen didn't have anything in particular that he wanted to cosplay. He wanted to cosplay Gundam, but he didn't have the conditions. Or there were some anime characters, which would only appear in the future. After thinking about it, since he wanted to play, he might as well play zombies. Then again, some beautiful-legged female zombies were not without their own merits.

"Well, okay then... It's not impossible. I think..." Feng Rui racked his brains and finally just smiled, "It's quite creative. Well, I look forward to seeing you."

After she registered, she waved at them with her five fingers spread out, smiled dazzlingly, and then left.

This caused people in Class 5 classroom and passing by in the corridor to look at them strangely.

“Huh!” Wang Shuowei breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s good that he’s not cosplaying as the Haier Brothers! Zombies are also okay…but Zhang Chen…”

"Hmm?" Zhang Chen raised his head slightly.

Wang Shuowei said, "In the past, Feng Rui always had a stern face, but today she seemed much more talkative and smiled a lot more..."

……

In fact, it was not only Wang Shuowei who felt something was wrong. Zheng Xue in the classroom also smelled something strange and said to Shen Nuo, "Let me tell you, Shen Nuoyi, I heard something about Feng Rui yesterday. Today, Feng Rui even came to see Zhang Chen and Wang Shuowei. I heard before that Feng Rui spoke highly of Zhang Chen. When we put up the bulletin board, we hadn't even mentioned that Zhang Chen was helping us, but Feng Rui actually found out about it from a friend and told everyone that Zhang Chen's idea was good... So, does that mean we have no credit? Although Zhang Chen has a good idea, we are the ones who made it happen!"

"Oh." Shen Nuo nodded. She didn't know what to say. When she heard Zheng Xue say this, she felt a little weird.

Since Zhang Chen and her little tacit understanding, the relationship between them seems to be warming up. Zhang Chen sends her gifts and pays special attention to her when they go home together after school. She sees it all. Something is rising in her heart, but that's it. She knows that there is no more future with Zhang Chen now, and she must control the distance between them. In addition, she has a problem with her face, so she dare not take the initiative to express it.

Even when Zhang Chen was nice to her, she responded passively and never took the initiative.

Now, seeing what Zheng Xue said about Feng Rui's abnormal behavior, she felt a little worried and frowned slightly.

……

On the other hand, in Class 7, Huang Lili excitedly said to Zhuang Yanyue, "Yanyue, have you heard that Zhang Chen went to Feng Rui to sign up for cosplay!"

"I told you that I'm not interested in Zhang Chen anymore..." Zhuang Yanyue raised her eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean?"

"I know, I know..." Huang Lili said perfunctorily, "You don't know. It is said that Feng Rui was very strict at that time. Their animation club had quotas, and many people signed up, but they were all blocked by Feng Rui. Guess what happened? When Zhang Chen went to sign up, Feng Rui wrote his name and Wang Shuowei's name on the list even though he had never participated in the animation club or similar activities!"

"That doesn't mean anything. Feng Rui and Wang Shuowei know each other. Maybe they can use a back door." Zhuang Yanyue smiled.

"That's true... But it is said that Feng Rui admires Zhang Chen very much and has praised him many times. You know what kind of person Feng Rui is. She rarely praises any boy."

Zhuang Yanyue said, "Isn't Zhang Chen the dark horse of our Yude? His grades have improved so quickly, so it's normal to praise him."

Huang Lili glanced at her and said, "You are quite open-minded. Do you really not like Zhang Chen anymore?"

"There are three thousand rivers of water, why take only one?" Zhuang Yanyue said with a smile, and that smile was quite sweet like a witch.

Huang Lili said, "That's right, this is the Zhuang Yanyue I know... But do you want to participate in the cosplay competition and come up with a killer look to dazzle Zhang Chen and make him regret missing you?"

Under Huang Lili's half-smiley gaze, Zhuang Yanyue seemed to suddenly understand, "Yes, it seems... not bad."

Huang Lili just hummed twice, "Anyway, it's definitely not you who has already thought of it, right?"

Zhuang Yanyue's eyelashes fluttered gently. She didn't argue, but just smiled.

……

"Zhuang Yanyue, do you want to sign up too?" In the afternoon, Zhuang Yanyue found Feng Rui and mentioned this matter to her.

Feng Rui hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, what are you going to cosplay?" Feng Rui was not stupid. The rules of the anime club were meant to prevent some escapees. Zhuang Yanyue came to her in person to sign up, and if she refused, she would offend her. Zhuang Yanyue had a high status in the grade, and Feng Rui would not offend such a popular girl. Moreover, those rules could not restrict Zhuang Yanyue. "I have cosplayed as Usagi Tsukino before, and I have clothes at home, so I can use them directly this time."

Feng Rui was stunned and looked Zhuang Yanyue up and down.

"What's wrong?" Zhuang Yanyue asked puzzledly.

Feng Rui's face turned slightly red, "Suddenly I'm looking forward to it... I really want to see what you look like when you cosplay like that..." As a second-dimensional person, Feng Rui really wanted to see Zhuang Yanyue's outfit, and he was looking forward to it all of a sudden.

……

Feng Rui also didn't expect that Liu Jin and others from Zhang Chen's class, who were good friends with Zhang Chen and Wang Shuowei, would rush to find Wang Shuowei to help them register as soon as they heard that Zhang Chen and Wang Shuowei had signed up. They all wanted to escape from holding up the sign.

Recently, everyone went out together at night and became very familiar with each other. Wang Shuowei felt that Feng Rui was easy to talk to and was probably doing it to give him face, so he took Liu Jin and Yu Zexi with him and went to find Feng Rui to add two more people to the list.

Feng Rui's expression at that time could only be described as very stiff.

But in the end, these two people were allowed to sign up with Zhang Chen and the others.

Moreover, Liu Jin and Yu Zexi are quite bachelors. They said to Zhang Chen, if you guys want to have custom-made clothes and makeup for the role of zombies, then they can just do it together. You just have to pay for it.

Now that things have come to this, Zhang Chen doesn't know what to say, but it's not a big deal, since he always has custom-made clothes from that store, so they can just do it together.

Everyone was discussing this on the way home after evening self-study. Zheng Xue blinked her eyes and asked, "Are you really going to play zombies?"

"Haha, not only will I act as a zombie, but I will also come out at night to scare you. Are you scared?" Wang Shuowei threatened Zheng Xue, Shen Nuoyi and other girls.

"Tsk!" Zheng Xue sneered, "I heard that Zhuang Yanyue also signed up. Is she coming here for you, Zhang Chen?"

Zheng Xue said this with a teasing tone.

At the same time, everyone looked at Zhang Chen.

Among these people, Shen Nuoyi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him through the gaps between people.

"You're overthinking it. How could that be? We don't know how big this exhibition is. It's the entire stadium! Cosplayers from all over Rongcheng might go! By then, each group will be different, and we can't even say whether we will be in the same group or not!" Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"Hmph!" Zheng Xue had an expression that said, "Just make it up."

Finally, it was time to say goodbye and everyone waved goodbye.

When Shen Nuoyi and Wang Shuowei were walking towards the TV station compound, Shen Nuoyi turned his head under the street light and his eyes met Zhang Chen's.

Stop at the touch of a button.

She withdrew her gaze and walked towards the yard.

Zhang Chen looked at the street lamp in the secluded alley. The light bulb he replaced was emitting a warm, bright yellow light, as if it was protecting this world.

……

After returning home and washing up, Shen Nuoyi, wearing pajamas, came to the closet and opened a cabinet, which was filled with many sets of such artistic costumes. In fact, when it comes to cosplay, you don’t have to cosplay a specific person. If you just want to cosplay a female knight in ancient costume, she has many sets, and she can actually participate in such competitions directly.

She actually considered whether to sign up today.

But Feng Rui and Zhuang Yanyue both seemed to have been involved in rumors because of Zhang Chen, and everyone knew about it. If she really wanted to attend, wouldn't it be the same as her announcing to Zhang Chen that Zhuang Yanyue had attended, so she should attend too?

How could this be like the arrogant Shen Nuoyi? She would never argue with anyone about these things, especially for a... boy?
Holding the costume that looked like the Zixia Fairy's, Shen Nuo took a deep breath, and then loosened his five fingers again.
