-99 Chapter 17: Old Friend (1/2)
As a reliable partner, Wu Chen went to NaNa's apartment complex to pick her up for the dinner. Even though he knew that NaNa was going to dress up as Sailor Moon, when he saw NaNa with her complete attire, he was amazed.
NaNa was wearing the complete Sailor Moon outfit with a Garnet Rod instead of Moon Stick; she followed Yi Fei's suggestion and styled her hair and makeup according to the Sailor Moon characters.
”You look like a cosplayer in that outfit. Trying so hard to win the best dresser t.i.tle I guess?” Wu Chen asked his cousin. He was wearing a black tuxedo.
”Brother, you need a mask to complete your look so you can be Tuxedo Mask” NaNa entered the sleek black Lexus RX350 and gave Wu Chen a thumb up for his outfit. Wu Chen never had the intention of becoming the Tuxedo Mask or Mamoru-whatever-guy so he ignored the remark from his cousin.
NaNa fastened her seatbelt and ready to go but Wu Chen was sitting quietly; he did not start his car.
”Let's go” After waiting for some time and seeing that Wu Chen did not start his car, NaNa urged him to get moving. Wu Chen showed a puzzled expression.
”Yi Fei is not here yet,” Wu Chen said lightly.
”Her partner picked her up half an hour ago” NaNa continued on speaking about Yi Fei's partner; about how handsome and how gentleman he was towards other people. Wu Chen felt a bit sense of loss. He started his car and drove off.
At the entrance of Wu Hotel, Wu Chen let the valet parked his car. NaNa held her cousin's arm and they went in the direction of the ballroom.
At the door, a lady wearing a complete Harley Quinn costume can be seen. Wu Chen was amazed at how invested the staff of Faith Middle School staff for the dinner theme. The dinner seemed more and more like a cosplay party for him.
Everyone was following the theme, especially the Harley Quinn who was now standing with her back near the door. She was completely in the character as her left hand was twirling her twin ponytail while her right hand was swinging a baseball bat. She wore spiky accessories together with a bomber jacket with 'Property of Joker' sewn on it. Wu Chen was curious about the Harley Quinn.
NaNa suddenly let go of Wu Chen's arm and scurried towards the Harley Quinn. Wu Chen walked slowly. His eyes were on his cousin.
”In the name of the Moon…” NaNa shouted. The Harley Quinn turned her back towards NaNa slowly.
”I shall punish you!” NaNa swung her Garnet Rod and pointed it towards the Harley Quinn.
Wu Chen was surprised at the scenario because of NaNa's sudden attack towards the Harley Quinn. The Harley Quinn used her baseball bat to counterattack the Garnet Rod and they were doing some fencing-like pose near the entrance to the ballroom; making other people unable to enter the ballroom.
”These idiots…” Wu Chen walked towards NaNa and the Harley Quinn to stop them from enacting a fighting scene from whatever source they had watched. Before he could say anything, the Harley Quinn suddenly talked.
