Even the female customers present felt a pang of longing.
Soon.
Zhang Wei cleared his throat:
"Alright, I'll tell you then."
He then described Hua Hua.
When Hua Hua was described as plump, similar to Nyanko-sensei from Natsume's Book of Friends.
Qiu Xiaolin and Zhang Ya's eyes lit up.
"Is she that cute? Ah, I really want to see Hua Hua."
Zhang Ya said with regret.
Qiu Xiaolin nodded in agreement.
"It would be even better if I could pet Hua Hua."
"Ya Ya, do you think Hua Hua might also transform into a handsome great yokai like Nyanko-sensei?"
"No way!"
"I've decided, for this cosplay, I'm not going to cosplay Honoka anymore."
"I'm going to cosplay a cat girl character!"
"Let's go! Ya Ya, let's buy cat ears."
Immediately.
Qiu Xiaolin pulled Zhang Ya towards the hair accessories section.
Zhang Wei shook his head and followed.
Time flew by.
After trying on several different cosplay outfits, Qiu Xiaolin decided on her character.
"We've bought our things, what else do you guys need?"
Zhang Ya said, holding the cosplay clothes she was going to buy.
"I've finished buying too,"
Li Junfei said, looking at Zhang Wei.
"Brother Wei, what else do you need to buy?"
Zhang Wei checked his shopping list.
"I still need an Akatsuki ring for Uchiha Itachi, and Sharingan contact lenses."
Qiu Xiaolin nodded and pulled Zhang Ya along.
"Then let's go buy them, I need to buy some colored contacts too."
"Ya Ya, I just looked at the colored contacts, this cosplay shop has so many beautiful anime beauty products."
...
After leaving the cosplay shop.
Zhang Wei looked up and saw that night had already fallen.
"Wow, it's already almost 7 or 8 o'clock."
Li Junfei looked at his phone and patted his stomach, saying:
"I knew I was hungry, it's really easy to lose track of time when shopping."
Zhang Wei then said:
"Then let's find a place to eat. I know a Thai restaurant nearby that's really good."
Qiu Xiaolin and the others didn't refuse.
After shopping all afternoon, they were also hungry.
...
A Thai restaurant.
As soon as they sat down.
Ring ring.
Zhang Wei's phone rang.
The caller ID showed - Class Monitor Lu Lianxue.
Since Qiu Xiaolin and Zhang Ya were sitting opposite Zhang Wei, and Zhang Wei's phone was on the table.
When the call came.
They saw the words 'Lu Lianxue' displayed on the phone.
Zhang Wei didn't notice their gaze.
He answered the phone directly.
"Oh, why is the class monitor calling me again?"
Zhang Wei was about to tease.
However, Lu Lianxue's words from the phone interrupted his speech.
"Zhang Wei, where are you now? Are there other people around? Is it convenient to talk? I have something important to tell you."
Her words.
Carried a sense of gravity.
Zhang Wei knew that Lu Lianxue probably wanted to talk about demons and ghosts.
Such matters were not convenient for ordinary people to hear.
He immediately stood up.
"Junfei, you guys order first, I'm going to take a call."
"Then Brother Wei, what do you want to eat?" Li Junfei quickly asked.
Zhang Wei replied:
"Anything, whatever I don't like to eat, Xiaolin knows, just ask her to order for me."
After watching Zhang Wei leave the shop to take the call,
Zhang Ya tugged at Qiu Xiaolin's sleeve and said with a knowing smile:
"Oh my, he said whatever he likes to eat, and Xiaolin, you know it all, tsk tsk tsk."
"I'll hit you!"
Qiu Xiaolin reached out and playfully pinched Zhang Ya's waist.
In response.
Zhang Ya giggled and dodged Qiu Xiaolin's 'attack', her long eyelashes fluttering.
"What's wrong? Zhang Wei is going out to take a call from another girl, is my Xiaolin jealous?"
"Not at all."
Qiu Xiaolin attacked again:
"Ya Ya, don't talk nonsense."
After a few playful scuffles, the two stopped, and through the floor-to-ceiling window by the shop, Qiu Xiaolin occasionally glanced at Zhang Wei who was on the phone by the door.
No one knew what Qiu Xiaolin was thinking.
Zhang Ya, however, was curious.
She asked Li Junfei.
"Let me ask you, who is calling Zhang Wei? Do you know him, Brother Junfei?"
Li Junfei laughed heartily and said:
"Yes, it's our class monitor, Lu Lianxue. Don't just say me, almost the entire school knows her."
"Oh? How so?"
Zhang Ya's gossip spirit was ignited.
Qiu Xiaolin, who seemed to be looking at the menu, also glanced over.
Li Junfei didn't keep her in suspense and said directly:
"Lu Lianxue is the monitor of our class, and also the class beauty."
"Not only that."
"She's also the campus belle of our school, the dream goddess of all the boys."
"The class monitor is so beautiful, even more beautiful than celebrities."
"Wow, she's that beautiful? Then what's her relationship with Zhang Wei? Is she Zhang Wei's girlfriend?"
As Zhang Ya asked this, she covered her mouth and smiled, looking directly at Qiu Xiaolin without restraint, clearly intending for Qiu Xiaolin to see.
Qiu Xiaolin couldn't help but see it.
She bared her teeth adorably at Zhang Ya.
Li Junfei wasn't oblivious and also sensed something between Zhang Wei and Qiu Xiaolin.
He chuckled.
Then he replied:
"Haha, not a girlfriend."
"The class monitor and Brother Wei have a rather complicated relationship. Besides being classmates and friends, there's also... hmm, how to put it? Colleagues?"
"Ah, some things are not convenient to tell you."
Li Junfei waved his hand, finding it difficult to reveal that Zhang Wei and Lu Lianxue were both ghost exorcists and the like.
At the same time.
Hearing that Zhang Wei and Lu Lianxue were friends.
Qiu Xiaolin blinked her eyes and inexplicably felt relieved, then felt speechless again, what's wrong with me, why am I relieved, I'm crazy.
"Colleagues? Did they work part-time together?"
Zhang Ya guessed.
Driven by her burning gossip spirit, she continued to ask about Lu Lianxue.
...
At the same time.
Outside the shop.
Since this was on the third floor of the mall, Zhang Wei walked out of the shop and went to the front, leaning on the glass railing:
"There's no one around now, Class Monitor, please tell me, did something happen?"
His voice rang out.
Lu Lianxue on the phone didn't beat around the bush.
She said gravely:
"Zhang Wei, I just received a call from Captain Lin. The higher-ups have ordered Captain Lin, Zhou Qin, and me to take the earliest flight tomorrow to support the Northeast."
"I'm calling you to tell you this."
"I want to ask if you want to go together."
"The higher-ups told Captain Lin that if we can bring strong helpers, we can bring them along, the more the merrier."
"I think something big must have happened in the Northeast."
"Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a shortage of personnel, and they'd even be calling for external help."
"Of course."
"I don't mean anything else. The reason I'm calling you is because you told me yesterday that you got along well with the young monk Wunian and became good friends."
"After I received the notification from Captain Lin."
"I went to check the Weidao Division forum."
"Many people there are discussing the situation in the Northeast."
"I saw... someone saying that the young monk Wunian lost contact with the Northeast Weidao Division this afternoon."
"It's not just the young monk Wunian, but also his teammates and captain who went missing with him."
As her words came through the phone.
Zhang Wei's heart trembled.
Wunian, Zhang Chao are in trouble?!
...
