“It’s not even three years yet,” Brian replied.
“The host said, ‘Mr. Hart, you’re really amazing to be able to answer so many questions. You must have watched a lot of anime works.”
Brian replied calmly, “Yes, quite a few.”
Valda was surprised. She didn’t know that. Usually when they were together, even if he watched anime works, he would just come over and take a look when she was watching. The number of works he watched shouldn’t be too many!
Moreover, among these questions, some anime works she had watched, but not with him. She watched them alone!
After the quiz section, there were some sports events, such as live darts and ring toss.
Brian usually did well at the beginning, but in the last few rounds, he would make mistakes, causing others to catch up with his score.
Many people felt sorry for Brian, but Valda realized that he did it on purpose.
He deliberately made mistakes to keep his total score in third place.
And when the competition ended, Brian did indeed win the third prize.
It wasn’t until now that someone finally realized what he had done.
“Really? Could it be that he did it on purpose? Just to win this third place prize?”
“Oh my god, if this was intentional, then his calculations are just too accurate. Not only does he have to calculate his own score, but he also has to calculate the scores of others!”
“Wow, his wife is so lucky.”
“I also really want to have a husband like this.”
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion, which made
Valda feel a bit embarrassed.
When Brian approached Valda with the prize in hand, her face turned red and all she could see was him smiling at her and saying, “Alright, we got the book, let’s go.”
The smile at the corner of his lips softens his aloofness and indifference.
“Mhmm,” Valda responded.
It wasn’t until the two of them walked away that someone realized.
“Was that person just now his wife?”
“He smiled so tenderly at his wife!”
“But his wife looks average, and when she walked just now, she seemed to limp a bit! Could it be that his wife is some rich person and he’s just a gigolo?” Some people started maliciously speculating.
But immediately after, another voice contradicted it.
“Oh, I remember now. The guy earlier, his name was Brian, right? Isn’t his wife the one with a slight limp in her leg? It must be him. He also mentioned that his last name is Hart!”
“Brian?”
“Oh, the prince of the entertainment industry!”
Suddenly, the people around finally reacted and some of them started searching for Brian’s related pictures online to confirm if the man with the surname Hart they just saw was really the entertainment industry’s young master.
After a moment, someone in the crowd murmured, “I… believe in love again. Oh my god, the prince must truly love his wife!”
After Valda got her beloved limited edition comic, she and Brian didn’t really go around the anime convention much. After all, they had already gone around most of it before.
“When you were competing, did you purposely make mistakes in some of the events because you calculated your score beforehand?” Valda asked as they walked outside the anime exhibition.
“Yes,” Brian replied. “You wanted a third place prize, so there was no need to get high scores.”
Valda found it unbelievable that he was manipulating the scores of the competition.
“By the way, how did you almost answer all the questions correctly during the quiz?” Valda was also very curious about this, as he was not part of their circle and yet he was able to answer so many questions correctly, with only two questions left unanswered.
“Because I’ve seen a lot of them, so I can naturally answer them,” Brian replied.
“You’ve seen a lot of them?” She was stunned. “Have you seen all the anime, manga, and books about anime production related to those questions?”
“Yes,” he continued to give her a positive answer.
She widened her eyes, looking extremely shocked. “When? When did you see all of those?”
“During the year you disappeared, I had nothing to do, so I watched them all,” he said casually, but her eyes suddenly turned red.
How could he have had nothing to do?
She had heard from Camille that during her disappearance, he was in a state of complete despair, neither human nor ghost-like, and even Camille thought that if they couldn’t find her, he might commit suicide.
What kind of emotions did he have when he was looking at these anime-related things back then?
“Why… do we have to watch those…” she murmured.
“Because it’s something you like, when I look at them, it’s like I’m keeping you company while you watch,” he said, raising. his hand and gently stroking her reddened eyes. “Okay, don’t cry. I won the prize for you today because I wanted you to be happy, not because I wanted you to cry.””
“I…I’m touched, not uncomfortable,” she muttered.
The two of them walked out of the anime convention, and Valda felt a little thirsty. So Brian said, “Wait here for a moment, I’ll go buy some water.”
“Okay,” she replied. Outside the exhibition hall, there were many benches along the tree-lined path where people could rest.
She sat on the chair and lightly massaged her calf through her long skirt with one hand.

At that moment, a van suddenly appeared and screeched to a halt in front of her. Two young men wearing masks and caps, dressed in black, rushed towards her and reached out to grab her.
Valda was suddenly confused and before she could react, some people appeared from the side and stopped the two young men. With just a few moves, they subdued the two young men. The driver of the van saw this and immediately stepped on the gas, trying to quickly leave the scene.
However, right after that, something even more confusing happened to Valda. Several cars surrounded the van, forcing it to crash into the green belt.
What is happening here?!
Valda was shocked and widened her eyes. Among the people who subdued two young men in front of her, she recognized one of them as a bodyguard she often saw around Brian.
“You…”
“Madam, I apologize for startling you,” the other person said respectfully.
Startled… It’s not so much that I was startled, but rather that I was too stunned to even have the chance to be startled.
At that moment, Brian hurried over and looked at Valda with a nervous expression. He asked, “Valda, did anything happen?”
Valda shook her head with a sigh, as if she thought he was the one who had more important matters to attend to.
At this moment, his face was pale and his forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat. The hand that was holding hers was trembling with nervousness.
Valda grabbed Brian’s hand with her other hand and said, “I’m okay, nothing happened to me. Your bodyguard acted quickly and these two people didn’t even touch my clothes.”
Upon hearing this, his facial expression improved slightly. However, immediately after, he suddenly hugged her tightly and said, “As long as you’re okay, everything is fine!”
He cannot bear any more accidents happening to her.
That tight embrace made Valda feel a bit sore in her bones. But she knew that the tightness of the embrace was a reflection of how much he cared and worried about her.
Her hand lifted gently and stroked his hand back, tapping it lightly and rhythmically. “I’m okay, Brian. I’m fine now. You’re here to protect me, and I’m doing well.”
Her voice, her warmth, and even her breath were all easing his unease.
After a while, Brian muttered, “Hmm, you’re okay.”
Next, the two subdued individuals and the driver of the van were all taken back to the police station. Valda and Brian also went to the police station to give their statements.
Valda learned from the police that these three individuals are unemployed youths who enjoy gambling and have a lot of debt. Today, at the anime convention, they learned about Brian’s identity from others when he went on stage to compete. They became greedy and followed Brian and Valda out of the venue.
After seeing Valda alone, they wanted to kidnap her. However, their plan was foiled as they were quickly caught and subdued, resulting in them not obtaining anything and getting into trouble with the authorities.
After finishing the record, Valda and Brian left the police station. Curiously, Valda asked Brian, “How did you know that we might encounter danger today when we came to the anime exhibition?”
At the police station, she found out that the cars that had forced the van to stop were also driven by his subordinates.
In other words, he must have arranged for many people and vehicles to follow her.
“I don’t know,” Brian replied.
“Huh?” Valda blinked in surprise. “But how did they plan to kidnap me when your bodyguards and those cars were there to appear so timely?”
“It has always been there, not just today,” he said.
She widened her eyes and said, “It’s been there all along. So you mean, on the first day we arrived here, you already arranged for them to follow us?”
“In fact, it’s not just the first day I’ve felt this way, it was the same over in Emerald City,” Brian said.
“Valda, I’ve lost you once before, so I won’t allow myself to make the same mistake again.”
Because of this kind of mistake, he can’t afford it.
Valda used to dislike being followed around all the time, but after what happened today, she finally realized that it was necessary.
After all, Brian’s identity alone is enough to make many people greedy.
Once greed takes hold of the human heart, many things will be done recklessly.
However… “Wait, so, sometimes when there’s nobody around on the roadside, we… kiss. Your bodyguards have seen us do that too?” Valda suddenly thought of this question.
Brian’s expression became somewhat unnatural, and he vaguely said, “Maybe.”
“I guess so,” Valda muttered to herself, blushing again, and then began to look around.
“What are you watching?” Brian asked.
