All the goddesses in the world are lusting after my body.

But Jiang Tang doesn't have the desire to create anything yet, so just standing by Shi Xue's side, protecting her, and watching her fulfill her dream makes him unconsciously smile.

He chuckled for a short while before realizing that there seemed to be more customers at the stall in front of him. So he composed himself and looked up with delight.

He saw a short-haired, capable young woman in a SWAT uniform carrying a sniper rifle staring intently at him while taking notes in her notebook.

Her features are striking, but she isn't the kind of beauty that immediately captivates; rather, she grows more beautiful over time, exuding an aura of... how to put it, perhaps best described as "righteous and awe-inspiring."

But in Jiang Tang's eyes at this moment, it only made his eyelids twitch, which caught him off guard.

Autumn, autumn beans... what's going on?

However, Jiang Tang quickly realized that this was a comic convention!

Therefore, it's not surprising to see all sorts of strange and unusual costumes.

Therefore, he quickly recovered from his surprise and said with a hint of admiration.

"It's not easy for a girl to be a military enthusiast. I can tell you really like this character. The equipment looks just like the real thing... Are you looking to buy a comic book?"

The ultimate goal was, as expected, to sell comic books.

Upon hearing this, the girl shook her head, shifting her gaze from the notes she had just taken to Jiang Tang's face with a serious expression.

For a fleeting moment, even the hardened heart of a secret agent was moved by Jiang Tang's "beauty".

Her brows furrowed slightly, and she thought to herself that Jiang Tang was a "femme fatale."

In reality, they make no attempt to conceal their true intentions.

"I don't buy comic books."

"I'm here to protect you."

?065 Ren Qianning

The girl preferred open and aboveboard surveillance to covert surveillance.

Since this is a comic convention, I can take this opportunity to get closer to my target in a perfectly reasonable way.

The girl's calm analysis and decisive action naturally led to success.

………………

Jiang Tang's question mark was written on his forced smile.

However, when cosplayers embody the character, this is roughly what it looks like.

He thought to himself.

The so-called "electric wave type" beautiful girl, if you match her, you will find her very cute.

Jiang Tang respected other people's interests and hobbies, so he responded politely to the girl's declaration, "I'm here to protect you."

"Then... please make yourself at home."

"Oh, by the way, you can read a sample of the comic up to the end of the prologue. If you're interested, it's thirty yuan a copy."

Jiang Tang secretly raised the price of the comic by ten yuan, inspired by the girl in the bear hoodie he had just seen.

"Hmm." The girl actually picked up a comic book and started reading it while standing to the side.

For some reason, this scene is strangely eerie.

A boy in a school uniform is reading comics at a comic book stand, while a girl dressed as a special police officer, carrying a sniper rifle, is openly reading comics.

And half an hour later, Jiang Tang found something that left him somewhat speechless.

The girl's words about "protecting herself" seem to be genuine!

Because whenever a stranger approaches, she becomes noticeably alert and stares at them.

If she encounters a cosplayer carrying "weapons and equipment," she will directly target them.

This situation would definitely be embarrassing if it happened normally.

Fortunately, this was a comic convention, where the atmosphere was free and there were many people behaving strangely. Compared to those anime fans, the girl was actually quite normal.

Most people who encounter this situation will respond with a smile, and some will think the girl is joking and interact with her in a friendly manner.

They basically struck poses and shouted out a few embarrassing lines.

"Sa! Let us recount your sins!"

The girl tilted her head, looking confused. Then, after thinking for a moment, she raised the gun in her hand with perfect form, even making the red dot appear on the other person's face, almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

"Bang~ Bang~!"

"Haha, you're so funny, miss."

"...Would you like to buy a comic book?"

"OK OK!"

Unexpectedly, Shi Xue's comic sales were boosted by the girl in this way, and more than a dozen copies were sold in a short period of time.

This made Jiang Tang both grateful and confused, and he asked.

"Why did you help me? But thank you so much."

"Because if you can help sell your comics faster, you can go home sooner and to a safe place."

That sounds reasonable... She really did live up to the belief of "protecting Jiang Tang".

Jiang Tang thought to himself, "This cosplayer is too immersed in her role."

And when he wasn't looking, the girl turned around and started scanning a QR code with her phone.

"I've transferred thirty yuan to you. I want to read the next chapter of the comic." Her tone always carried a calmness that was rare among ordinary people.

"Well, actually, you don't have to buy it if you want to see it..." After all, she had helped promote many of her comic books, so even if Shixue were here, she would gladly share the rest of the content with the girl in front of her.

But the notification that the Alipay payment had been received had already reached Jiang Tang's phone.

He picked up his phone and saw that it was a transfer from Qian Ning.

"Qian Ning..." Jiang Tang couldn't help but murmur.

"Ren Qianning." The girl's posture was upright and dignified. Her equipment looked heavy, but she was already used to it. She held a book and looked quiet and serene.

Without hesitation, she told Jiang Tang her name.

A boy who was a complete stranger to her.

"My name is Jiang Tang." Having no other choice, Jiang Tang introduced himself in this manner, as it was customary to return the courtesy.

Are you the protagonist of this story?

Ren Qianning suddenly asked.

Jiang Tang was stunned for a moment, recalling the image of Shi Xue in a maid outfit, and also the image of himself when the young master was being willful a long time ago.

Finally, he slowly nodded.

This is something I'm really embarrassed to admit.

"However, the plot in the comics has some fictional elements, no, don't take it seriously."

Is it fiction?

Ren Qianning, however, did not think so, because she had read through all of Jiang Tang's records from childhood to adulthood and memorized them.

The comic tells the story of Jiang Tang's past experiences, where his family suffered a tragedy, and only his maid remained by his side, never abandoning him.

That day, snow fell heavily, and the maid threw herself into the young master's arms without hesitation, like snowflakes falling on his shoulders.

Ren Qianning was so engrossed in watching that she didn't react until someone silently approached her side. As if by reflex, she suddenly drew her gun.

"Waaah! Master!"

Shi Xue was startled by the scene before her.

She had just returned from the maid shop's showroom and brought Jiang Tang a lot of desserts and small gifts from there.

She was curious to see a girl in military uniform reading intently in front of her and her master's stall, and also wanted to surprise her master, so she tiptoed over.

Unexpectedly, he was spotted by the girl when he was still five steps away, and the black muzzle of the gun was pointed at him with terrifying determination.

Shi Xue immediately cried out in alarm, attracting Jiang Tang's attention.

"You're back, Shixue. This is a friend I just met... She helped us sell more than a dozen comic books."

Recognizing that the person in front of her was the maid next to her target, Ren Qianning immediately put down her weapon.

"Your comics are very good."

"QwQ, thank you!" Shi Xue, still shaken, took nervous little steps to sit down next to her master.

She handed the bags she was carrying to Jiang Tang.

"What are these?"

"The sweet treats in the Sweet Maid-themed exhibition hall contain the magic of maid's love!"

"But I don't want the magic of those maids' love."

"They are not you."

As soon as Jiang Tang finished speaking, Shi Xue blushed and became happy.

When it comes to coaxing maids, Jiang Tang is definitely the best.

Ren Qianning has excellent hearing; even when the two of them are speaking in hushed tones, she can still hear most of what they are saying.

So she wrote it down in her notebook: "The target is good at sweet talk and coaxing girls. Even I almost wavered (crossed out)."

"Miss Ren, is that right? Here, a dessert!"

Since the owner isn't going to eat it, let's give it to this cosplayer who's lost in her own world to try.

Ren Qianning shook her head to refuse; their principle was not to take even a needle or thread from the masses.

Desserts should be about the same.

The maid pouted in dissatisfaction upon receiving the rejection.

"Why aren't you eating it? I went through all that trouble to bring it back."
