Chapter 169 - "I like this head gear. Where can I find one?" (3)

[Ahahaha. This is hilarious. So Gu Chenyi and Gu Yanxiao the same photos taken as well? How come they weren't on the wall?]

[Right? Had they put all three of their photos on the picture wall, the effect would be incredible.]

[I think Gu Chenyi and Gu Yanxiao had theirs taken afterward, for the sake of offering Gu Xi support.]

[Probably. But what I want to say is, this is too funny. Ahahahaha.]

[True. I found it ugly at first but, now that it was made into a profile picture, it didn't look that bad. And it's oddly interesting with the four of them together.]

[That animated gif is hilarious as well.]

[I like its style.]

A photo that was ugly and embarrassing and now turned into hilarious and creative in others' eyes.

***

Dong Mingming, too, was joining in the discussion on her phone with a happy look.

Her focus, however, was a little different from the others'.

"Gu Xi, is this Gu Yanxiao's legendary big brother, Gu Yanlin?" Dong Mingming asked excitedly while pointing at Gu Yanlin's head shot in the animated gif.

"Yeah," said Gu Xi. But what did she mean by "legendary"?

"Oh, you have no idea. Gu Yanlin was a god-like existence in A University and our HSAU." To the point that he was still a legend at HSAU even after he had graduated.

Recalling Gu Yanlin's genius acts that Gu Yanxiao and the others had told her, Gu Xi nodded with understanding.

Dong Mingming, on the other hand, was already drooling over her phone.

"Wow, I didn't know that Senior Gu Yanlin is so hot!" She had thought that Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi were pretty handsome already, each in their own way. Little did she know that Gu Yanlin was the handsomest one of them all.

Gu Xi couldn't read Dong Mingming's mind, had she did, she would have told Dong Mingming that: That's because you hadn't seen my dad yet.

"And I love super cold handsome man!" As Dong Mingming talked, she held Gu Xi's hand and said, "Okay, I have decided. I am a fan of Lin's starting today! Get me his signature when you have a chance!

"Besides, being so cold and all and he still put on this ugly head gear and had a photo taken for you, he was surely the best big brother in the world!"

Gu Xi did not disagree with her last sentence but the "very cold" part? Gu Xi's lips twitched.

Gu Yanlin? Super cold? Pardon her but she didn't get that at all.

Gu Xi glanced over at Dong Mingming and patted her on her shoulder. "Okay, be his fan then." Just don't blame me when your house collapse.*

Gu Xi couldn't even finish her second part when Dong Mingming's focus had already switched to something else.

"Gu Xi Gu Xi. Look here! Someone is asking for the same head gear as yours in the forum!" Dong Mingming tugged at Gu Xi's hand and had her look at her phone.

Gu Xi looked at the newest discussion in the forum. Sure enough, a lot of people were discussion about that hear gear now.

[I like this profile photo. Where can I find this head gear? I am going to buy one myself.]

[Me too!]

Unfortunately, many of them went looking on XBao but was still unable to find one.

[Here. I'll be the bigger person and create one for everyone. All you have to do is to put your picture over it.]

[An edited photo has no soul.]

......

Suddenly, the original creator of the headgear showed up and expressed that he was the one who had made it and it was the only one in the world!

[I was only doing that for my assignment. My original idea was to make a frog out of it but I wasn't able to find the green material that I wanted so I used the mold-green eye shadow from my mom's makeup box that she never used and applied that onto it. My clumsily was to be blamed for turning a cute frog into an alien. All my fault.]

His explanation brought about a lot of laughter.

Someone quickly noticed the key point:

[So, this headgear did not belong to Gu Xi but was provided to her by the Art Department?]

[This headgear was so ugly. Say, why did they even use it back then? There were so many other pretty ones.]

[Yeah, and I have looked through al the other photos. Gu Xi was the only one who had on the alien...... em, pardon me, the frog one.]

[Did someone do that to her on purpose?]

[OMG. Who could be that evil?]

[I think I am turning into a conspiracy theorist.]

[Me too. I felt that someone was off when there were so many posts smearing Gu Xi yesterday.]
