The Fourteenth Sentence Part 2
Xin Tian snorted. She lifted a cardboard box and instructed her, “Just put it on the booth like how they are doing it.”
Pu Tao took it and nodded. “Okay.”
She concentrated and began to arrange the delicate pins.
But devoting herself to setting up the stall did not ease the slightest bit of anxiety in her.
What is Cloud Dweller doing right now?
What should I do?
At every second, she was thinking of him.
While she was deep in thought, Pu Tao took out her cell phone and was about to take a look at Wechat.
Xin Tian suddenly shouted, “Pu Tao! Help me place this!”
Pu Tao quickly put her phone back and looked for her.
Xin Tian was moving a cardboard cutout. This should be where you are standing. Just move a little bit.”
“Okay, give it to me.” Pu Tao took it and carefully stabilized it. Afterwards, she turned back and asked, “Is that all right?”
Xintian gave a thumbs up.
Pu Tao giggled.
At 9 AM sharp, the sun was shining and the building opened.
A stream of people walked in. They filled up the convention center.
Xin Tian put on a headband and began to give out the studio’s brochures.
They were well prepared, the exhibition area was arranged carefully. It was also very eye-catching. There were some tourists and cosplayers who stopped by.
It was Pu Tao’s first time at a place like this. She was gawking for a bit with naiveness and admiration.
The 2D 1 atmosphere was dazzling and distinctive. She became immersed in it. She took out her cell phone and took a large number of short videos without any regards to her phone storage.
She continued until Xin Tian tugged her and reminded in a low voice, “It’s almost 10. You can take a seat around Exit 2 of the exhibition area! Your man is going to be on stage!”
Pu Tao was pulled back to reality all of a sudden. That feeling of her heart beating so fast that her throat became blocked came again.
Pu Tao clenched Xin Tian’s arm and begged, “Come with me.”
Xin Tian knew her personality. Even though she didn’t want to, she still promised, “I know, I’ll come~ With you.”
She was curious about Cloud Dweller after all.
They rushed to the right location.
Pu Tao could no longer tell whether it was her heart beating fast or her pace was fast.
Exit 2 of the exhibition area could be seen from afar. The area was large and had an extravagant layout. The other exhibition areas could only be regarded as inconspicuous wildflowers at the bottom of towering ancient trees.
The visitors crowded the exhibition area and there was a lot of noise.
One reason was because the CV meeting was about to start. The other was because the game itself had a large number of players.
Xin Tian had been to many exhibits. She was familiar with the place and led her to a better seat with a better view.
Pu Tao’s heart was pounding, and her breathing became heavier.
They finally came to a stop.
On the stage, cute girls in cosplay were dancing as a group. The otakus were excitedly waving with the rhythm and singing along .
"
"
Xin Tian suddenly let go of Pu Tao’s hand. “Are you okay? Your hands are all sweaty.”
Pu Tao mumbled and rubbed her hands to mask his rising panic, “It’s h-hot.”
When the dancing girls left the stage, the host came and announced mysteriously that the CV meet and greet would begin soon.
As soon as he finished, the girls in the audience’s piercing screams overshadowed the otakus.
Pu Tao heard a girl shouting “Cloud Dweller” in the crowd. She was screaming so much that she nearly became hoarse.
Her eardrum itched. Her heart was even more unbearable as there were thousands of small claws scratching it.
She clasped her hands and twisted her fingers. She had a hard time calming down.
The host left the stage.
On the big screen, it began to play a video from the beginning of the year from a game with high quality graphics. It was comparable to the blockbuster films from the west. Many well-known CVs were invited to dub the characters.
It began with the sweet and smooth sound of a cute girl.
On the big screen, a small, cute figure with a long magical staff in a loose leaf shawl sauntered over the grass and petals emerged.
At the same time, a woman came out from behind the curtain with a microphone. She was tall with phoenix eyes, which was a sharp contrast to the voice.
In the audience, there were oohs and aahs.
Xin Tian was also excited. “Aaah! The goddess of the moon! The voice is amazing!!! I’m in love!!”
…
One CV came out after another. The noise level of the cheers rose higher after each one.
Pu Tao squeezed her hand. She had seen the video before.
Cloud Dweller dubbed a worshiper that was an elegant man who wore a traditional garment and also used a staff.
If she remembered correctly, he’s next.
The screams for the last person to come out confirmed her guess. The girls were screaming crazily at the top of their lungs, “Cloud Dweller! Cloud Dweller!”
“Damn! Damn! Damn! He’s coming out. Watch out for him!” Xin Tian slapped her on the arm and added more bricks and tiles and other weights to her messy warehouse.
Pu Tao had already reached the boiling point, and her mind was falling apart.
They heard his voice before they saw him.
The man’s voice had a further reach with the microphone. It had a deeper penetration and was more ethereal. It created a cool and refreshing tree canopy over the hot and dry venue.
The restless animals in the audience settled down instantly. This was Cloud Dweller’s magic.
It was him.
Every night, every morning, it was the voice next to her pillow.
And this sound was about to take on a physical shape.
Pu Tao’s heart rate jumped so fast that she couldn’t stand up straight.
She suddenly looked down and did not dare to look at all.
The screams of his fans rose again and could drown out her existence.
Meanwhile, Pu Tao stood there, close to drowning.
When she heard Xin Tian’s “oh” and “wow”, she could not control it anymore and looked up
In the next moment, all sound faded in her world, except the sound of her beating heart.
Pu Tao could not stop the tears filling her eyes since she was so emotional. Oh my god, why is he so beautiful?
