Chapter 89: Live Cosplay
Ye Zhiyun couldn’t understand her own heart. She fell into confusion, constantly thinking, who exactly was Yu Linna? Why did she always occupy her heart, lingering?
But if she could figure it out, she wouldn’t be her.
Overthinking only added to the troubles. Later, Ye Zhiyun, to forget these worries, threw herself into work again, hoping to fade these matters.
Things can be forgotten, but can the heart deceive people?
Speaking of Yu Linna, since agreeing to be Fang Jianing’s live stream cosplayer, she picked a weekend to go to her house. The cosplay costume was already prepared. Yu Linna just needed to go over, change, put on makeup, and she could start the live stream. When she arrived at Fang Jianing’s house, Mother Fang was very happy to see her, welcomed her arrival, and kept asking her to stay for dinner. Yu Linna could only smile wryly and say she had things to do.
Fang Jianing took her to the room early. She took out the cosplay costume, held it against her, and snapped her fingers with satisfaction.
“I knew you were very suitable for this outfit! How could anyone else handle the clothes of the Moe King? Sure enough, I wasn’t wrong.”
(T/N: In China, Rimuru is often referred to as the “King of Cuteness” or the “Moe King” (萌王)* (Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken )*)
“This outfit is good, but why make me wear the Moe King’s clothes? And I have to wear a mask.”
“No choice. Look, you requested not to wear a skirt if possible, and not show any skin, preferably covering the face. Thinking about it, only the Moe King character suits you.”
Actually, saying this wasn’t wrong; it was Yu Linna’s own request initially. At that time, Yu Linna didn’t like live-streaming in front of strangers, nor did she want to show her face, hence the request to cover her face. And no showing skin.
Finally, Fang Jianing got her a set of Moe King cosplay clothes. Anyway, the Moe King’s gender is null; both males and females can handle it. Most importantly, the looks had to pass.
Things having come to this point, she couldn’t back down. Yu Linna had to take the clothes to the bathroom.
“What are you doing? Why go to the bathroom?”
“If not there, where else?”
“Just change here. Anyway, we’re both girls, what’s there to be afraid of?”
“…”
Yu Linna looked at her sincere (fake) eyes, and she actually sensed the malice of this world. Although physiologically speaking, she was completely female, she had lived alone since childhood, rarely interacting with female friends, and had never experienced changing clothes together with female friends.
So, she was shy.
“This… you turn around.”
“Yo, you’re shy?”
“Go away… Hurry up and turn around. No peeking.”
“Fine, fine, fine. Won’t look, won’t look. Really don’t know which man will take a fancy to you in the future, then he can look at your body unscrupulously.”
“Get lost! I don’t want to marry!”
Asking Yu Linna to marry a man in this lifetime is impossible, absolutely impossible!
Although she was female, she didn’t want to be restricted by worldly customs.
This cosplay costume wasn’t hard to wear. With a few quick movements, she changed quickly. The wig wasn’t hard to put on either. The biggest issue was makeup, but because Yu Linna’s appearance was already very good, it didn’t take too long. In less than half an hour, the makeup was done.
Fang Jianing looked at her work, very satisfied. It had to be said, Yu Linna’s looks were really good. Those beautiful big eyes seemed to have their own magic; one glance made people want to look twice more. Exquisite features, cherry-like small lips like jelly made one want to take a bite. Most importantly, her skin, several shades fairer than average people, made many women envious.
Yu Linna’s looks were innate. Although not a rich second generation, her genes were just good. Her mixed-race appearance made her stand out more than average people, and her excellent genes were passed down. Except for her height, nothing else was a problem.
Really want to know what the parents who gave birth to Yu Linna looked like. Their family’s genes were too good, right? Even better than Fang Jianing’s.
“Very good, we can start. I’m turning on the camera.”
“Okay.”
Yu Linna said nothing on the surface, but actually, her heart was pounding nervously. First time live-streaming in front of strangers, being watched by so many people, she still felt somewhat uneasy. But thinking that she had at least filmed commercials in front of others, and sang for others on TV before, she silently cheered herself on, slowly calming her nerves.
“Hello everyone, I’m ‘Fenwu Tianshi’. I promised everyone on Weibo before to do a cosplay live stream with the camera on. Today I will fulfill my promise as a Bilibili uploader and give you an unforgettable live stream. But unfortunately, the person cosplaying today is not me, but my good bestie.”
Fang Jianing turned on the camera and started the live broadcast. She introduced herself familiarly, and then rows of bullet comments started bombarding the screen.
“Don’t care, don’t care, we want Little Angel to cos! If it’s not Little Angel, I absolutely won’t watch!”
“No one can replace Little Angel’s position, ahhhhh!!”
“Let your bestie go down, let Little Angel come up! Little Angel has never shown her face, I want to know what you look like!”
Sure enough, the fans’ emotions were very agitated. Learning that their idol wasn’t participating in the live stream, they all exploded.
They indicated that even if they had to unsubscribe, they absolutely wouldn’t watch anyone other than Little Angel cos.
“Haha, everyone, don’t be anxious first. Due to special reasons, I won’t show my face. The one doing the cos live stream today is my good friend, also my good bestie. I believe she will satisfy everyone. Come, Little Nana, you can come over now.”
“Okay. What do you need me to do?”
“No need. Just sit there.”
After a short while, a blue-haired girl wearing a mask appeared in front of the camera. This girl wasn’t tall, petite like the Moe King in the anime, and she was also cosplaying the Moe King. Although her temperament was somewhat different, her fair neck was very conspicuous in front of the camera. That skin, clearly several shades fairer than average people, stunned the male fans.
“Cough cough, hello everyone. I think I’m Little Nana, Little Angel’s friend, also considered… a good ji you(very close same-sex friend), right? Hmm, and then… I’m today’s cosplayer. You can ask me questions freely.”
After all, having spent some time in the entertainment industry, she knew what to do in front of the camera. Although her acting skills had always been poor, after facing the camera for a long time, she wasn’t completely without gains.
“Emmmm, who is this little sister cosplaying the Moe King? Although I can’t see her face, she inexplicably feels so cute. Is it because of her aura?”
“Little Angel, is this your friend? So small. By the way, may I ask impolitely, is Little Angel only in elementary school this year?”
“Holy crap, Little Angel is an elementary school student? I, I… I hold my holy sword, speechless for a long time…”
“Visitor: ‘Cat Who Loves to Sleep In’ has been muted for ten minutes due to inappropriate speech.”
Rows of bullet comments scrolled by, among which were some perverted remarks. And those with obvious obscene content had already been banned by the room moderators.
Little Angel guessed it would be such a result. You know who Yu Linna was; with her looks, how could she not arouse interest?
Although she wore a mask, her inherent moe attribute couldn’t be hidden.
“Oh, this loli girl is quite nice.”

Meanwhile, in a certain studio apartment, Zhao Yuyan wore headphones, ate potato chips, and crossed her legs, watching Fang Jianing’s live stream. If her editor, Chen Xi, knew she was slacking off and watching a live stream while rushing her manuscript, she would be dismembered.
But Zhao Yuyan didn’t care about this right now; she just knew she wanted to watch the live stream, wanted to watch this little sister cosplaying the Moe King.
“Haha, I’m not an elementary school student! My friend just looks younger, but she’s a legal loli~”
Yu Linna watched Fang Jianing spout nonsense with a straight face, feeling speechless. You know, Yu Linna was only 17 this year, not yet of legal age. But she didn’t want to admit she was a loli either, which made her very conflicted.
“Really? I feel this little sister is so cute. Although she’s not showing her face, she gives me a moe moe da (super cute) feeling. Little Angel, can you introduce your good friend to me? I want her WeChat!”
“You brat, just now you said you wouldn’t watch anyone’s cosplay but Little Angel’s. Are you surnamed Wang (referencing the meme)?! ” (Wang is a Slang term for pens, prik. lol)
“Why give up an entire forest for one tree? I’ve decided, I want them all.”
“That’s a total scumbag statement!”
“666(cool), laughing at the two brothers upstairs bickering.”
Overall, the live stream was quite successful. Although not showing her face, it could still attract people, especially male fans. They sent donations and gifts to the streamer one after another. Fang Jianing happily collected the gifts, saying thank you and playing pleasant music.
“May I ask Little Nana, how old are you?”
“A girl’s age is a secret.”
Facing such a stupid question, Yu Linna didn’t want to answer at all. If it weren’t for giving face to Fang Jianing’s fans, she wouldn’t have answered.
“Hahaha, laughing at the brother’s straight male cancer. Who asks questions like that? Deserves to be single forever!”
“Little Nana, may I ask what you like? Why did you cosplay the Moe King?”
“I like reading, I like watching TV. Why I cosplayed the Moe King is because I think the Moe King is moe.”
She answered indifferently, her tone neither cold nor warm, making people feel quite distant. She had always been like this in class, not liking to get too close to people she wasn’t familiar with, thus creating her pseudo-cold exterior.
“Little Nana is so cold, but I like it!”
“Little Nana, I’m giving you gifts, can you give me your contact information!”
“Thank you, but give them to Little Angel. I’m just here for fun.”
Yu Linna’s speech was still very cold, completely unmoved.
She just wanted to get her hundred yuan after the live stream ended and didn’t want to think about anything else. Live streaming was really tiring. It had only been ten minutes, yet the bullet comments were already overflowing.
“Little Nana, I heard you like watching movies. Have you recently seen the very popular ‘Storm Seal Chronicle’?”
Being asked this question by a fan, a flash of sadness flickered in Yu Linna’s eyes. Mentioning this movie would inevitably make her think of Nangong Ying, the person she couldn’t forget.
“Yes.”
Although her heart was complex, she still answered calmly.
