Food Stall: Customers Chase Me across the Country-Chapter 223 - 224: Lu Xueqi Wins Second Place in the Lu Xueqi Cosplay Event
Awkwardness.
Wang Fan felt awkward all over, like his hands and feet weren’t his own, as if he’d completely forgotten everything he meant to do.
In contrast, although Zhuo Qianqian was a bit shy, she was more delighted than anything.
It turns out that whatever that silly girl says doesn’t suit me; see, I succeeded the moment I spoke!
He Lu Xue felt the awkward atmosphere the moment she stepped into the camper van.
Why does Boss Wang seem so nervous? Yet that little foodie seems to be bubbling over with joy?
Zhuo Qianqian immediately sprang up happily upon seeing He Lu Xue return, then grabbed Wang Fan’s arm with a beaming smile and said, "I announce, I have officially ended my life-long single status, I have a boyfriend now!"
"Huh? Did this all happen while I was just grabbing a bite?"
He Lu Xue’s mouth hung wide open as she looked in disbelief at the awkward Wang Fan, "Boss Wang, if she’s holding you against your will just call out, I know she’s strong."
This can’t be possible!
This little foodie, oblivious about matters like these, took just one breakfast to win over her boss?
I haven’t even started drafting my thirty-six love strategies yet, and it’s already the grand finale?
This is not scientific!
It must be that the little foodie used her strength; she’s really strong.
Covering his face with his other hand, Wang Fan felt his face burning. Having been single all his life, and his first declaration was coming from having a girlfriend—it would be something he’d dive into a hole over if one opened up in the ground.
He Lu Xue could see from Wang Fan’s reaction that this wasn’t forced, but he definitely wasn’t the one who took initiative either.
What move did the little foodie use to settle this somewhat introverted, quality guy?
It’s quite intriguing!
"The cosplay event is about to start, let’s get going!"
Unable to bear the awkward atmosphere any longer, Wang Fan quickly spoke up.
...
Perhaps because of the summer-wet season’s influence, many cosplayers wore thick costumes today, but there were always some generous ladies who continued to reveal their impressive figures.
Some were even so bold as to show up in swimsuits.
As Wang Fan walked along, he didn’t deliberately pretend not to notice; instead, he glanced around and couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
"This one’s not as fair as my little assistant." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
"This one’s not as tall as my little assistant."
"This one’s not in as good shape as my little assistant."
"Hmm, none are as pretty as my little assistant..."
Anyway, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and on top of it, Zhuo Qianqian’s conditions are quite excellent, just not as bold.
Inside the cosplay event, there were clothes for sale. Wang Fan’s outfit was fine, but Zhuo Qianqian and He Lu Xue’s outfits were obviously unsuited to today’s temperature.
So Wang Fan simply bought each of them an outfit.
He chose the outfit of Gui Li from the currently popular anime for himself. Without thinking, Zhuo Qianqian picked a Lu Xueqi outfit; what He Lu Xue picked, Wang Fan didn’t notice.
However, these cosplay outfits aren’t cheap, costing over five thousand in total for the three outfits. They could have rented them, but Wang Fan was clearly not inclined to do so, opting to pay for three brand new, unopened packages.
The shop had a makeup area, and seeing a male makeup artist with all sorts of tools, Wang Fan immediately frowned.
"We’ll do it ourselves."
Wang Fan sat right across from Zhuo Qianqian while he spoke.
The makeup artist shrugged and stepped aside; such things weren’t uncommon.
Zhuo Qianqian couldn’t help but chuckle at Wang Fan’s demeanor, like a Daji who just stole a chicken.
The boss looks quite handsome when he’s jealous!
"Boss, do you know how to do makeup? I’m really not good at it."
Zhuo Qianqian usually didn’t wear makeup, let alone apply one that matched the outfit.
"My cutting skills are quite good, and that skill kind of transfers over to makeup."
"Cutting skills? Makeup?"
He Lu Xue looked surprised, "Boss Wang, your expertise seems more suited to plastic surgery."
"Get out of here, the boss’ technique is surely superb, just mind your own business!"
Zhuo Qianqian grumbled at He Lu Xue.
"You! You! You!"
Shaking with frustration!
As soon as their relationship was confirmed, her friend and close pal was relegated to the outsider camp?
She started defending him the moment I spoke?
"Our bond has weakened, the ten-plus-year relationship has waned! Putting love before friends! Fine, fine, let Boss Wang do it, but just don’t ask me to fix your makeup afterwards!"
Zhuo Qianqian stuck out her tongue: "Meh meh meh, if it doesn’t look good I’ll just pretend today is Halloween!"
"Hiss..."
He Lu Xue took a sharp breath, she felt like if she opened Zhuo Qianqian’s skull, she’d see a big "囧" (comical) brain inside!
Wang Fan, meanwhile, was taking up the role of makeup artist officially.
He had neither studied nor practiced before, but the system previously granted him an Advanced Makeup Skill, which was certainly enough to do his girlfriend’s makeup.
Taking a deep breath, he impulsively delved into the memories in his mind.
Sitting quietly in front of Zhuo Qianqian, his gaze became focused and firm.
His every hand movement exuded extraordinary steadiness, much like his remarkable cutting skills.
Each move exuded confidence and finesse, as if he had been mastering this craft for years.
He carefully selected the makeup products, letting the delicate brushes dance gently across Zhuo Qianqian’s face, each stroke imbued with precision and elegance.
On Zhuo Qianqian’s face, colors and shadows began to blend harmoniously, sketching out the contour of a perfect makeup look.
Finally, he dabbed some silver glitter with his finger, lightly adding a perfect floral mark onto Zhuo Qianqian’s smooth forehead with a flourish.
Wang Fan was very pleased with the face in front of him, indeed, the plating skills could somewhat blend with makeup techniques.
Zhuo Qianqian slowly opened her eyes, glancing at her reflection in the mirror a bit anxiously, then uncontrollably widened her eyes.
The boss’ makeup skill is this good?
The face now, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say, seemed like a character plucked straight from an anime.
"Wow, I didn’t know Boss Wang’s talents extended beyond cooking; his makeup skills are also amazing!"
"This young lady has such good features! It feels as if she stepped straight out of anime."
"I really want Little Boss Wang to do my makeup too, this is incredible!"
As Wang Fan was doing Zhuo Qianqian’s makeup, a crowd had already gathered around.
These folks intended to accompany Wang Fan to the food court but didn’t expect to witness another one of his skills.
"Stand up and take a look."
Delighted by the suggestion, Zhuo Qianqian excitedly stood up, posing with the icy blue long sword in the classic stance before a spell.
Her figure was already excellent, and the premium-quality cosplay outfit enhanced her tall, slender form.
The smooth, natural lines of her slender waist exuded charming allure, the long legs fleetingly under the hem sparking infinite imaginings.
The most expressive feature had to be her eyes.
Zhuo Qianqian’s eyes were already large, but after Wang Fan’s effort, they appeared more lively and seemed even more enchanting than those in anime.
He Lu Xue’s jaw dropped like a hippo, and the crowd of cosplayers momentarily felt like they were watching a real 3D presence.
"This is the real Lu Xueqi!"
"Ninth Heaven’s Decree, transform to Divine Thunder, fearful Lordly Might, a sword to summon it! Lu Xueqi, strike me!"
"Lu Xueqi takes second place at the Lu Xueqi cosplay event!"
"I said Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan are true love! See, Zhang Xiaofan even did Lu Xueqi’s makeup!"
