Why did the system take my request to take photos with a cosplayer seriously?

Lin Man was looking at the navigation on her phone when Ding Heng, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but ask her a question out of curiosity.

"Where did you get Hua Qing's address?"

“We’ve investigated this before.”

"you……"

"Hehe... Boss, drive to that intersection."

Lin Man smiled sheepishly and quickly changed the subject.

She was glad she hadn't offended Hua Qing too badly, otherwise Ding Heng probably wouldn't have let her off the hook.

Although they haven't let it go yet...

Ding Heng slowed down and drove along the narrow street, eventually stopping in front of a self-built residential building.

It's a six-story building with an outdated design.

The first floor is a warehouse converted from a garage. The roller shutter door is half-closed, and you can vaguely see several rows of clothes racks with all kinds of colorful clothes hanging on them.

Ding Heng turned off the engine and took out two gift boxes from the trunk.

Lin Man got out of the passenger seat, tidied her clothes and makeup, and took Ding Heng's arm again.

"Let's go."

The two went upstairs and stopped on the left side of the fourth floor, raising their hands to knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

Footsteps came from inside, and the door opened.

Hua Qing was wearing a light gray, loose-fitting loungewear dress, her long hair was loose, and she had no makeup on.

She looked at Ding Heng, then at Lin Man beside her, and stared in disbelief.

"you……"

"Sister Qing!"

Lin Man released Ding Heng, pounced on him, and wrapped her arms around Hua Qing's neck.

I missed you so much!

"you……"

Hua Qing was struggling to breathe under Lin Man's weight, but she couldn't push him away, and her face was full of confusion.

"Lin...Lin Man...how could you..."

I miss you!

Lin Man released her, smiling as she waved the gift bag in her hand: "I came here especially to see you."

"Qingqing, who's here?"

Footsteps approached from afar, and Hua Qing's mother, Hou Wangyan, emerged from the inner room.

She's in her early fifties and takes good care of herself.

"Hello Auntie!"

Lin Mansong greeted Hua Qing with a generous and sweet smile: "I'm Lin Man, a teammate of the Hua Qing Lake Normal University dance team. Auntie, you must have seen me before, right?"

Hou Wangyan looked Lin Man up and down, feigning surprise.

"Oh... Lin Man, right!"

She had seen her daughter's dance troupe perform and had a particularly deep memory of Lin Man.

Firstly, Lin Man's alluring appearance makes her hard to ignore.

Secondly, Lin Man is the worst dancer in the entire dance troupe...

But were Hua Qing and Lin Man's relationship really that good in the past?

"Auntie."

Lin Man spoke intimately, as if she were family: "My boyfriend and I came to Fenghuang for a visit. We thought Sister Qing would be home, so we came without telling you beforehand. Sorry to bother you."

"I won't bother you, I won't bother you."

Hou Wangyan greeted, "Come in and sit down, don't stand at the door... Is this your boyfriend?"

"Hello, Auntie, my name is Ding Heng!"

Ding Heng placed the gift on the entryway cabinet and nodded slightly to Hou Wangyan: "I came in a hurry and didn't prepare anything, just a small token of my appreciation."

Hou Wangyan carefully examined Ding Heng... He was tall, had a refined air about him, and spoke politely, like a child from a respectable family.

"Come, come, sit down, don't stand."

Hua Qing bit her lip, her eyes filled with hostility.

After Lin Man pulled this stunt, how is she going to bring Ding Heng home in the future?

"Sister Qing, what are you standing there for? Come in."

Lin Man turned around and waved to Hua Qing.

Hua Qing took a deep breath, closed the door, and followed him inside.

The interior decoration is in the popular style of the early 20th century, with several Hunan embroidery pieces hanging on the walls, and a wall of honor displaying the trophies and certificates of Hou Wangyan and her daughter Hua Qing.

"Auntie was really beautiful when she was young."

Lin Man stood in front of the wall of honor and praised them sincerely.

"I'm getting old."

Hou Wangyan waved his hand, inviting them to sit down.

"Tea or water?"

"That's fine, Auntie, don't bother."

Lin Man sat down on the sofa, and Ding Heng sat down next to her.

Hou Wangyan brought out fruit from the kitchen and placed it on the coffee table.

"Please eat the fruit, don't be shy."

"Thank you auntie."

Lin Man picked up a grape, but instead of putting it in her own mouth, she held it to Ding Heng's lips.

"what……"

Ding Heng opened his mouth to catch it and chewed it.

Hou Wangyan saw this and immediately understood – the two young people were deeply in love!

He then looked at his daughter with a resentful expression.

Hua Qing looked bewildered: "Mom, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing..."

Hou Wangyan sighed softly.

When will Hua Qing bring someone back? She doesn't want to graduate with a master's degree and still be a virgin.

Lin Man looked around and asked, "Where's Uncle? Isn't he home?"

"He went out to run some business."

Hou Wangyan brought over tea again: "It's just Hua Qing and me at home, and we're getting bored. Your presence will liven things up."

"That's perfect!"

Lin Man picked up her teacup and took a sip: "Auntie, would you like to go out for a walk with us later?"

Hou Wangyan shook her head: "I'm an old woman, I won't bother you young people."

Lin Man took Ding Heng's arm again and snuggled up to him: "Honey, where shall we go later?"

Ding Heng coughed twice: "I'll do as you say."

"My words..."

Lin Man lightly traced her fingertips on Ding Heng's arm, her posture ambiguous.

Hua Qing saw this and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Although she and Lin Man had already been "frank with each other," it was still in front of her mother...

"Oh, right, Sister Qing."

Lin Man suddenly asked, "How long has it been since you and your boyfriend last saw each other?"

Hua Qing was drinking water when she heard this and almost choked. She quickly put down her glass and glared fiercely at Lin Man.

Lin Man blinked innocently.

Hou Wangyan reacted the most: "Hua Qing, you're in a relationship!?"

Hua Qing stammered, "Um... I guess so..."

What do you mean by "consider it?"

Hou Wangyan frowned: "Don't you know whether you've talked about it or not?"

"We talked."

Hua Qing lowered her head and honestly admitted it.

When did this happen?

"last year……"

"last year?"

Hou Wangyan raised her voice: "Why didn't you tell your family?"

"It's not stable yet..."

"Still not stable after a year?"
