Sakura seemed to have learned some incredible secret, and she quickly nodded.
On the other side, Alice and Firefly exchanged glances and smiled at Mo Yu.
Well, they were all buddies, no need for nodding, just tacit understanding. Besides, there was nothing to argue about. There were four people present, and three of them were male cross-dressers. Secrecy, it must be kept secret.
Mo Yu could also understand what the two of them meant, but in reality, he just simply hoped that Sakura wouldn't be too loud. He couldn't stay here for too long anyway, and what did it matter if others knew he was actually a boy?
Once he left this Anime Convention, they wouldn't be able to find him.
This was no joke; for the world of anime and manga, everyday clothes and anime cosplay were completely different. Even bloggers who were active in the public eye every day could only infer some clues based on personal characteristics.
How could anyone recognize him?
Even if they opened an account for him, trying to find the real person based on a photo would probably not be believed. This was the power of the cheat!
Therefore, he didn't mind if others knew he was cross-dressing, as long as he wasn't blocked at the Anime Convention because of it. Generally, if someone knew he was a boy and wanted to hug him or something, he didn't mind at all.
However, the three of them being willing to keep his secret indeed saved a lot of trouble. Although others were curious why three female characters were blocking the men's restroom entrance, considering it was an Anime Convention and the presence of male cross-dressers, they didn't think too much of it.
Of course, it wasn't that no one noticed Lingsha was Mo Yu. After all, in such a small Anime Convention, a character like Lingsha, Mo Yu was the only one cosplaying her. Of course, characters like Trailblazer Xing and Trailblazer Qiong could be found in several instances.
To put it bluntly, a character's popularity is one aspect, and the inherent requirements of cosplay itself, such as physique and temperament, are another. This is why Honkai: Star Rail is clearly a popular Anime Convention IP, but characters like Lingsha are rarely cosplayed.
Besides that, there are the cosplay costumes available on the market. Some newly released characters, although relatively popular, have fewer cosplay costumes released, or they are still in production, so naturally, fewer people can cosplay them.
As for some more abstract outfits, such as the Amphoreus Descendants of Gold's screaming drink combination, these often require a crew or multiple friends to collaborate, so they are naturally less common, even though the cost is indeed much lower.
In short, after some hassle, Mo Yu also successfully left the Anime Convention. Before leaving, he also added the contact information of the Anime Convention's organizer. He naturally understood their intentions, but if it was just that, he had no reason to refuse.
As for being invited to future Anime Conventions as a guest? Oh, he would first have to wait until he had an account that actually became popular. And even then, he would most likely decline due to his schedule.
Well, in the future—he would probably become increasingly busy like his Senior Brother. Perhaps he might still go to Anime Conventions later, but as a guest... the probability was low, after all, that's how it is for those in scientific research.
After returning from the Anime Convention, Mo Yu resumed his calm and boring daily clinic routine at his grandpa's clinic.
How to put it, although it was still a bit close to the school, the nearby school was a high school. Generally, high school students rarely patronized clinics around the school, unless they lived near the school.
Therefore, most of the people who came to the clinic were elderly.
And they would only say—"Tsk tsk, Xiao Yu is so pretty, I'll introduce my grandson to you."
"What nonsense are you talking about, Old Liu, this is my grandson!"
At this time, the old man would say with dissatisfaction.
"Oh? This is your grandson?! Tsk tsk—"
The old people didn't understand, but they showed respect. Of course, they might also go back and gossip, after all, in this day and age—cross-dressing as a man is much less accepted than cross-dressing as a woman.
And after realizing the elderly people's distrust of his medical skills, Mo Yu still chose to change back into his regular clothes and continued to assist his grandpa.
Although there was no high bonus provided by the role-play, as a mere assistant, Mo Yu naturally handled the tasks with ease. Processing herbs, sorting herbs, decocting medicine, and performing massage, all of these received quite a bit of praise.
As for actually treating illnesses... that was definitely out of the question. For acupuncture and such, the old man didn't trust him to do it, after all, in the old man's eyes, even if he really got official recognition, how old was he? How many years had he studied medicine? If acupuncture was performed incorrectly, it could be fatal.
Mo Yu had no choice but to feel helpless about this.
But—the reason he returned to his hometown was not really for treating illnesses; he just purely wanted to accompany his grandpa.
On the other side, the matter of Lingsha providing free medical consultations at the Anime Convention also gained some attention and popularity, after all—there were indeed few people in this field. Although it wasn't completely nonexistent, Mo Yu was truly the only one who could achieve this level.
Moreover, the patient Mo Yu had previously diagnosed also appeared in the comment section to share their experience and express gratitude, which further added to its popularity and credibility.
Regrettably, until the very end, the main character never showed up. No one knew the real name or account of this cosplayer teacher, only a alias of Mulan, but... that didn't mean anything.
However, the internet's memory is fleeting, and soon, the buzz faded, only occasionally appearing in Anime Convention videos.
In fact, as the main character, Mo Yu was also following the drama the entire time.
Who understood his boredom when he could only do some tedious and mechanical work in the clinic all day? Therefore, high-intensity internet surfing was inevitable, but he only acted as an observer and didn't comment.
It's just—this kind of time seemed a bit too long.
Throughout the entire summer vacation, his mentor and Senior Brother were basically out doing research, busy with various things, which meant they completely neglected him, their Little Junior Brother.
There was nothing to say about this. How much research ability could an undergraduate student have? It was difficult to get involved in projects, and his Second Senior Sister, who stayed at school, was a half-baked student who also needed guidance.
Who would have thought that such an ordinary little guy could get a cheat?
In short, after all the fuss, by the time they remembered Mo Yu, it was already late August. By the time Mo Yu returned to campus, it was already close to the start of the semester.
In fact, it was no different from the start of the semester, as many students had already returned to school, and the return dates for different grades were also different. At least, by the time Mo Yu returned to school, everyone in the dorm had already arrived.
