After returning to school, Xu Momo treated He Xiaofei to Haagen-Dazs and gave her a full set of Twilight hardcover edition with Lux's signature, as well as a series of Twilight accessories.
He Xiaofei accepted Xu Momo's gift generously, indicating that she had forgiven her. Xu Momo heaved a sigh of relief, but He Xiaofei said,"But you have to promise me one thing.”
"Just say it, what's the matter?" Xu Momo said straightforwardly.”
He Xiaofei narrowed her eyes and chuckled. Her expression was like a cunning fox who had succeeded in her scheme."There's nothing special. Actually, the person who really asked for your help isn't me. It's the people from Luo Feng's company. They contacted our president before and hoped that we could participate in an event.”
Of course, Xu Momo knew about Luo Feng Company. It was the online gaming company of Twilight Online, one of the largest online gaming companies in the country.
"Event? What event?" Xu Momo asked.
"It's a promotional event for the official open beta of the game.”He Xiaofei said," This event is held in several cities across the country, and our City B is one of the main venues. I also heard that the location is at Tianlu Square on Donghua Road.”
The Sky Road Mall that Xu Momo and Xu Rui went to last time was next to the Sky Road Plaza. It was one of the busiest business districts in B City, especially on weekends.
"Do they want to invite our club to be an audience?”Xu silently guessed.
"No, no. They're not spectators.”He Xiaofei turned on her laptop and showed Xu Momo a promotional page.
On the page were a few eye-catching words: " I'm signing up for Twilight's endorsement event. It's in full swing."
"They want us to participate in this endorsement event.”He Xiaofei smiled." Actually, we all know that they want you the most. They probably want to make you famous and use this opportunity to promote Nightfall.”
Xu Momo refused without thinking,"I don't want to be famous, so forget it.”
"But there's nothing you can do if you don't want to be famous." He Xiaofei said. She added the words " Godfather Nai " and " Goddess of Otakus " into the search bar. Soon, a series of posts from various major forums appeared.
Xu Momo was surprised,"These posts can't all be…"
"It's all your fault." He Xiaofei said helplessly," I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I'm guessing that the people from Luo Feng's company hired Internet trolls to deliberately create hype behind the scenes. It should be to promote the game in disguise.”
Xu Momo was speechless. She had only participated in a cosplay competition. How did it become like this?
"By the way, you can get a bonus for participating in this event.”He Xiaofei suddenly said.
Xu Momo replied with a disinterested " Oh."
"There seems to be five thousand yuan." He Xiaofei added.
"Five thousand yuan." Xu Momo suddenly realized that she had never earned so much money in her life. Last year, in order to experience life, she had worked in a fast food restaurant for a week. In the end, she only earned 400 yuan.
"I've asked around. They said that you only need to stand on the stage and Pose. You don't need to perform or anything.”He Xiaofei said," Besides, there's nothing bad about being famous. There are so many people in the world who want to be famous, but they can't.”
Xu Momo was indeed tempted.
In the two years of university, she did not participate in any club activities, nor was she a member of the student council. She often felt that her university life was especially dull and monotonous, and most of her time was wasted. Perhaps this was a good opportunity to prove himself and earn his living expenses for this semester.
Seeing that Xu Momo had agreed, He Xiaofei happily said that she would help her hand in the registration form soon.
"By the way, did Master Lux tell you that the event next week happens to be a meet-and-greet?”He Xiaofei suddenly said.
Xu Momo didn't know how to react because He Xiaofei called Xu Rui Lux.
"Hmm? Oh, he never mentioned it to me." Xu Momo said.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if we meet or not. We already know each other anyway.”He Xiaofei smiled." But I didn't expect Xu Jar's brother to be Lux. At that time, I thought that I must have recognized the wrong person.”
As she spoke, the smile on her face suddenly faded. She looked down at her watch. I'm going to self-study."
"Self-study?" Xu Momo almost thought that there was something wrong with her ears." When did you become so hardworking?”
He Xiaofei smiled." I'm planning to take the GRE, so I have to start revising now."”
After He Xiaofei left, Xu Momo looked at the empty dormitory and remembered that Yuan Shanshan had also gone to self-study because she was going to take the postgraduate entrance exam. Ma Yuanyuan had recently participated in a scientific research project in the institute. It was said that the instructor had already decided on her spot for a postgraduate degree.
Xu Momo suddenly realized that everyone except her had already planned their future, but she was still like a freshman in college, living her life in a daze. Other than dealing with exams, she had never put in any effort.
She knew that if this continued, she would be left far behind by the others…It was time to consider the future.
*
On Saturday, the stage for the promotional event was set up in Tianlu Square. A miniature castle was also built on the other end of the square with a steel frame. It could be seen that Luo Feng Company had indeed invested a lot in this promotional event.
Xu Momo woke up early in the morning. After arriving at the event venue, the staff from Luo Feng's company immediately brought Xu Momo to the temporary dressing room.
This time, the clothing was provided by Luo Feng's company. Probably because this promotional event was not only targeted at the otaku community, the clothing was much more conservative than the previous one.
After dressing up, Xu Momo looked at herself in the mirror.
She almost couldn't recognize herself.
The girl in the mirror was wearing a pale yellow vintage shirt that revealed her belly button. She was wearing a cool black cloak and a pair of tight leather pants with a pair of Roman-style leather boots. She looked valiant and sexy.
The makeup on Xu Momo's face was much more exquisite than last time.
As expected, professional makeup artists were different from amateurs. However, for the sake of the stage effect, the makeup artist applied excessively thick false eyelashes on Xu Momo. In order to set off the noble and cold temperament of " Nye," she applied deep smokey makeup on her.
Xu Momo could hardly see her original appearance from her delicate face that was like a porcelain doll.
It was said that excessive makeup was not makeup, it should be called makeup…Xu Momo, who was facing the mirror, deeply understood this sentence.
At this moment, her phone suddenly rang.
It was Xu Rui.
"I'm already at the venue." Xu Rui said," I'm at the VIP lounge in Tianlu Shopping Mall. You can come and find me."”
Xu Momo looked at her reflection in the mirror.
If she went to Tianlu Mall dressed like this, she would definitely be surrounded by people who did not know the truth!
So she said,"I can't get away now. I'd better not go."”
At this moment, Xu Rui suddenly said something to the person next to him. Then, Editor Fan's voice came from the phone."Miss Xu, Xu Rui said that your foot is injured? Are you feeling better now?"
"Much better, thank you." Xu Momo quickly replied.
"That's good." Editor Fan was silent for a moment." Actually, Luo Feng Corporation hopes that Lux will cut the ribbon for them later, but Xu Rui's right wrist is injured and it's not convenient-"
Xu Momo suddenly remembered that Xu Rui did mention that her wrist was injured that day at the hospital. Because Xu Rui did not mention this matter again, and his wrist seemed to be fine, Xu Momo quickly forgot about it.
Therefore, after hearing Editor Fan's words, Xu Momo suddenly felt a little guilty.
"-so we'd like your help at the ribbon-cutting ceremony later.”Editor Fan continued," It would be better if you could come over now to confirm the details with us.”
Xu Momo immediately agreed.
She casually picked up a staff coat and put it on. She did not care about being surrounded by people and went straight to the entrance of the Sky Road Mall.
Along the way, many passersby cast curious glances at her. Someone recognized her as a cosplayer and wanted to come over to take a photo with her, but she hurriedly refused.
After arriving at the VIP lounge, Xu Momo saw Xu Rui and Editor Fan sitting on the sofa and talking with their heads lowered.
Seeing Xu Momo come in, Xu Rui couldn't help but smile.
"What happened to your wrist?" Xu Momo panted slightly and asked directly.
"Oh." Xu Rui hesitated for a moment, and Editor Fan answered for him.
"Fortunately, I took him to the hospital. He insisted that he had sprained his wrist, but the doctor found out that it was not the case at all.”Editor Fan frowned.
Xu Momo's heart sank.”
"The sprain is indeed the cause, but the main problem is still tendon sheathing.”Editor Fan added," It's the mouse hand.”
Xu Momo had heard of this disease. It was said that serious cases required surgery. People who typed for a long time were most afraid of getting this disease.
"It's mild, not serious." Xu Rui added lightly," Have a good rest. You'll be fine with some medicine."”
"That's easy for you to say!" Fan Jiayi shook his head and sighed." The doctor said that if this illness gets serious, his hands will be crippled.”
Xu Momo looked at Xu Rui worriedly.”
Xu Rui's lips suddenly curled into a smile, and he looked a little similar to Xu Yi.
Xu Momo was stunned. This was the first time she saw the shadow of his biological brother in Xu Rui.
"It's nothing. Don't worry." Xu Rui said calmly," Moreover, I've already decided to stop writing after I finish writing about the Devourer.”
"Seal the brush?" Xu Momo was surprised.
Editor Fan was even more shocked.! Are you kidding me?"
"No." Xu Rui shook his head. He paused for a moment before explaining,""I'm temporarily stopping writing. I just want to rest for a while.”
"Can you finish your sentence in one go?" Fan Jiayi heaved a sigh of relief. You scared me to death, okay?" He thought for a moment." Then how long do you plan to stop writing before coming out?”
Xu Rui shook his head." I'm not sure yet. It'll be about half a year to a year."”
Fan Jiayi hesitated for a moment." Alright. No matter what you decide, I'll support you."”
"Then what do you plan to do during this time?”Xu Momo asked curiously. She didn't think Xu Rui would waste this time.
"I haven't thought of the specifics yet."”
At this moment, Xu Momo's phone suddenly rang. It turned out that He Xiaofei had arrived at the venue.
"There's not much time left. Let's discuss the ribbon-cutting process first.”Editor Fan said.
Five minutes later, Xu Momo returned to the venue.
She stood in front of the miniature castle according to the staff's request. Many people came over and stood beside her to take photos with her. Xu Momo once again had the illusion of transforming into a humanoid figurine.
Fortunately, she didn't need to speak or smile. She only needed to pretend to be cold and aloof.
He Xiaofei also ran over to take a selfie with Xu Momo.
"Right, did you know?" He Xiaofei suddenly said to Xu Momo," I heard that they have invited a heavyweight guest today. It's-"
At this moment, there was a sudden scream from the crowd.
Xu Momo followed the scream and saw a flashy black sports car parked beside the venue.
"Yan Jian! Yan Jian! Yan Jian!"
The crowd burst into cheers as the female fans shouted their idol's name at the top of their lungs.
