Zong Yan was in such a hurry that he didn't notice the person following him.

The crystal ball was in his school bag. He put his thumb through a gap in the bag and kept it on the sphere. That way he could sense the location of the creature at all times.

He'd arrived at school after spending the day doing homework, and now it was almost evening. The playing field of Qingyang High School was brightly lit. The lantern festival would begin soon.

A lot of people had arrived in time for the evening show. The daytime festival was intended more for students. In the evening there wasn't just a lantern festival, there was also a haunted house decorated at great expense. Many people had purchased tickets to come see it. The atmosphere was lively.

There were people everywhere. Zong Yan struggled to navigate through the crowd, making his way at a turtle's pace towards the location identified by the sphere.

"Wow, is that Senior Zong Yan?"

A lot of younger students saw him standing in the crowd and came up to him, excited and wanting to take pictures.

After all, the school festival was a golden opportunity to get a selfie with the senior students. On the school forum earlier, several girls had said they wanted to meet Zong Yan. People speculated about what character Senior Zong would choose to cosplay.

"Is the senior cosplaying as Lelouch?"

They were all from the same school, and Zong Yan couldn't really refuse, so he had to turn around and take a group photo. But the number of people around him only increased, and the commotion got bigger and bigger.

"Ah? Is that Lelouch? Why do I feel like it's Kyoya Hibari from Reborn."

"How is that Hibari? Lelouch's eye turns red when he uses his power. Look, one of the senior's eyes still has the outline of a bird in it."

The girls began to form a line to take pictures with him.

Zong Yan's face was expressionless, but inside he was anxious.

"It really is Lelouch ah. The senior looks so good."

Everyone could see that Zong Yan had put in minimal effort, but in this world beauty was a form of power, and the girls succumbed to the coercion of good looks.

After all, a man with a handsome face looks great in everything.

Meanwhile, Ye JingMing and his group, who'd chased after him, were gnashing their teeth.

"Damn it, that kid actually cosplayed Lelouch!"

The little brothers nervously looked at Ye JingMing.

After trying almost everything, they'd managed to find out from Xia KeYan's best friend that she was going to cosplay Kikyo from Inuyasha at the school festival.

That was the reason Ye JingMing cosplayed as Inuyasha today. After all, Inuyasha and Kikyo were the official CP in the anime.

But as it turned out, when Xia KeYan came to school today, everyone found out that the character she'd actually chosen was Nunnally from Lelouch of the Rebellion.

At first Ye JingMing just had a bad feeling about it, but his premonition came true. Lelouch and Nunnally weren't actually a CP in the anime, but it set off loud alarm bells.

Ye JingMing clenched his fists.

He was filled with resentment.

He and Xia KeYan were basically childhood sweethearts, but for various reasons she'd always treated him like a little brother. It was only after they reached high school that Ye JingMing really understood his feelings.
