Chapter 17: Anime Expo
Translator: Doris
Hi, I was on holiday now. So I was back.

Maybe I had been overthinking.

A week passed, however, nothing had happened. Except my roommate shouted excitedly at me for a while after Ms. XXXX posted on Weibo that day, no one else had come to harass me in a friendly way.

Of course, those people on the Internet weren’t included.

My roommate was indeed a person able to keep a secret.

He neither had told his girlfriend the secret that XXX was my dad nor had he disclosed my Weibo on the circle until now, he even imitated my account name as a disguise it protect me.

Yesterday, after the last exam, I had dinner with my roommates and others, a total of tens people. Besides, almost all of them were in the circle, which made me surprised.

Naturally, we talked about gossips in the circle. Those two friends of my roommate’s girlfriend led the topic to the matter about my dad.

So I took the opportunity to beat about the bush. Then I found that no one of them knew this post.

That made me relieved.

It was still a big world. How could this post be found by others easily?

After all, the forum I posted had no relation with the circle.

And I was lucky enough to keep safe among my classmates and friends.

Now that they did not know this post, my dad who was too busy to have time to surf on the internet could not find it either.

I was quite sure.

He didn’t socialize in this circle. On the one hand, he didn’t hope that his identity and life in the real world was exposed. On the other hand, he was indeed busy so he had no time to do these things.

As you saw, only Ms. XXXX was his friend although he had been playing it in China for so long.

I forgot to tell you that even Ms. XXXX, my dad’s alumna, they met each other when he was abroad.

Long before I showed up, she had been my dad’s sweetheart.

That made me a bit jealous.

According to them, they were close to each other since childhood, like close siblings. But did pure friendship exist between men and women? Or did it exist between straight men and straight women?

If it didn’t exist, it wasn’t the feelings of close siblings between them, who were so matched to each other.

—Or, if the friendship indeed existed, were they straight?

—It they were not, so who wasn’t the straight one?

—Could it be my father?

—If so, could it be possible that my dad had special feelings for me?

—I couldn’t believe that I kinda expected him to find this post.

Alas ~ Oh My God! Was there anyone helping me and saving me from my unrequited love?

OK. This post officially entered a new stage that “As an adopted son, I had a crush on my dad. So what should I do?”

—————————————————————————————————

Ms. XXXX asked me to try on makeup tomorrow, and it is said that I had to learn how to do poses.

These days, I had been staying up late and got up late. My dad went abroad on a business trip for about half a month. So no one called me for several days.

I almost forgot about the matter of the Anime Expo.

As soon as she called me, I thought that all the clothes and accessories were still in my dad’s “changing room”. So, I went to my dad’s house at noon and took back the costumes.

These costumes were indeed full of magic.

Before I got them, I really didn’t have much enthusiasm, just thinking that I should do it well now that I had promised her. But when the costumes were held in my arms, suddenly I had an impulse to try them on.

I was thinking about it even I was on the way home.

The look my father wore this dress came to my mind over and over again.

My heart was beating so fast thanks to the scene.

So, as soon as I got home, I began to study how to wear it.

With my IQ after taking the exam of advanced mathematics, I finally managed to “hang” this costumes accurately. I looked at the white wall in my room, in front of which my dad made the broadcast.

Then, I stood in front of the wall and tried the performance like him.

It made me blush.

But, it was quite exciting.

It made me lose my sanity. Even I made a short video for myself and sent it to my dad.

Then, it was at 3:30 a.m. in New York time that my dad sent me a video call request from wechat.

I trembled to answer it.

My father, with a pair of half-awake eyes, stared at me and said, “Come on. Let me teach you and improve the action as I say.”

…

…

…

XXX sama, in order to let his son perform a qualified Tamae no mae, wasting lots of thought.

And his son was taught by him for more than an hour.

Finally, he got too sleepy to open his eyes, then he hung up the video call to fall sleep again.

After that, I still felt numb.

Oh shit! What was I doing?
