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

Hua Qing remained silent.

Hou Wangyan took a deep breath and turned to Lin Man.

"Xiaoman, have you met her boyfriend?"

"I've seen it before!"

Lin Man nodded repeatedly, her tone exaggerated: "Sister Qing's boyfriend is amazing!"

"What makes it excellent?"

"Um……"

Lin Man counted on her fingers: "He's handsome, tall, and good to Sister Qing. His family is also well-off; they own an investment company in Hong Kong and even rented an apartment and bought a car for Sister Qing in the capital so she could focus on rehearsals..."

Ding Heng sipped his tea quietly, without blushing or skipping a beat.

Hou Wangyan became increasingly surprised as she listened, and turned to look at Hua Qing.

"Really?"

Hua Qing nodded reluctantly.

"Um……"

"When are you going to bring it back for me and your dad to see?"

"We'll see, it's not certain yet."

What do you mean by "not certain"?

Hou Wangyan said urgently, "With your stubborn temper, don't let them get away!"

"mom!"

Hua Qing's face flushed red.

"Auntie, don't worry. Sister Qing is so beautiful, how could her boyfriend bear to run away?"

Lin Man, always eager for a good show, never missed an opportunity to stir things up.

"You agree, right, Ding Heng?"

"really."

Ding Heng put down his teacup and echoed, "But as excellent as Sister Qing is, she really should change her stubborn temper. She shouldn't always be making things difficult for herself."

Hua Qing pursed her lips and glared at Ding Heng resentfully.

Hou Wangyan scratched his head, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

The four continued chatting about Hua Qing's boyfriend when Lin Man suddenly took out her phone.

"Auntie, can I add you on WeChat?"

"Row."

Hou Wangyan took out her phone and successfully added the friend.

Lin Man then said, "Auntie, could you arrange a tour guide for us? We'd like to spend two days in Fenghuang."

"Tour guide?"

Hou Wangyan smiled wryly: "My travel agency is barely operating, so where would I get tour guides? If you want to have fun, just have Hua Qing show you around."

"I'm so sorry, I can't waste Sister Qing's time like this."

Lin Man looked down and tapped her phone a few times, and Hou Wangyan's phone immediately popped up a transfer notification.

Six thousand yuan.

"Xiaoman, what's wrong with you...?"

"Guide fee, deposit."

Lin Man smiled and said, "Auntie, don't be so polite, it's my pleasure."

She had a well-thought-out plan: as long as Hou Wangyan received the payment, it would be perfectly legitimate for Hua Qing to go out with them again in the next two days.

Hou Wangyan was quite embarrassed: "You child..."

"Oh, right, Auntie!"

Lin Man quickly changed the subject: "I'd also like to try on Miao ethnic clothing. Do you have any connections?"

"That's easy!"

Hou Wangyan perked up: "There are plenty of clothes in the storeroom at home, there should be something you can wear. Hua Qing, you can take Xiao Man to pick out a few pieces and send them back to her."

"it is good……"

Hua Qing stood up and gestured for Lin Man to come with her.

Lin Man ran over and took Hua Qing's arm.

"Sister Qing, let's go~"

The two quickly went downstairs, arrived at the warehouse, and closed the door. Hua Qing finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Lin Man, what are you doing?"

"I'll help you."

Lin Mansun released Hua Qing's arm and circled in front of the clothes rack: "Isn't this to give your family a heads-up? Do you really want to keep this from them forever?"

"You should at least have told me beforehand!"

"I'll give you a surprise."

"surprise?"

Hua Qing said irritably, "You almost scared me to death."

Lin Man turned around, her smile alluring: "Sister Qing, the way you lie to your mother is quite cute."

Hua Qing blushed.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not making this up."

Lin Man took a set of clothes off the hanger and held it up against herself: "Sister Qing, you can't lie at all. The way you were stammering just now, how could your mother believe you!"

Hua Qing remained silent.

Lin Man continued, "She's probably already thinking about when she can meet her outstanding future 'son-in-law'."

Hua Qing took a deep breath.

What are your plans next?

"Since we're already here, let's explore the area."

Lin Man stuffed the clothes into Hua Qing's hands: "Here, let's change together!"

Hua Qing haughtily refused: "I won't wear it."

"No, Sister Qing, it's not easy for you to come all this way!"

Lin Man took down another set: "Even if you don't care about the monk, you should at least care about the Buddha. Maybe the man would like to take a look too?"

Hua Qing sighed: "Can't you be serious for once?"

"What did I do that was inappropriate?"

Lin Man looked completely innocent.

Hua Qing was too lazy to argue with her and changed the subject back to the clothes.

"This outfit is too formal, and it's hot outside; it's not suitable to wear it out..."

"Then, Sister Qing, can you help me pick out a set?"

"This one, please."

Hua Qing took off a relatively simple outfit.

"What about you, Sister Qing?"

"I have some in my room!"

In the end, Hua Qing gave in.

Just like Lin Man said, since it's a rare opportunity to come all this way, maybe the men will like to watch it?

……

upstairs.

The more Hou Wangyan looked at Ding Heng, the more she thought the young man was energetic. She poured him a cup of tea and tried to start a casual conversation.

"Xiao Ding, how long have you been with Xiao Man?"

"About half a year."

"That wasn't long ago, so who was pursuing whom?"

"I'd say she pursued me."

Ding Heng smiled sheepishly.

"Eh..."

Hou Wangyan sighed: "If my Hua Qing were half as proactive as Xiao Man, I wouldn't have to worry about this."

Ding Heng comforted her, "Qing-jie is a reserved and good girl, you don't need to worry about her."

"What parent doesn't worry about their daughter..."

Hou Wangyan changed the subject: "Xiao Ding, Xiao Man just said that Hua Qing's boyfriend owns an investment company in Hong Kong? Is that true?"

Ding Heng's heart tightened, but he remained outwardly calm: "It should be true. I'm not very familiar with that person."

"Xiao Ding, please don't take offense, but I'm just asking. Hua Qing is such a stubborn girl, all she's ever known is dancing, she's clueless about anything else. You know, she suddenly has a boyfriend, renting her an apartment and buying her a car... I'm just a little uneasy about it."
