Guess

"What?! These irrational fans again?!" Han Yao's voice from the other line roared when he heard what Su Yu said. He thought that Su Yu would be fine alone shopping. Who knows that an irrational fan would suddenly pop out?!

The black fans before… they had enough of it. Now, the irrational fans are making troubles again!

Su Yu heaved a sigh. "Someone helped me after he has seen the male fan's suspicious behavior." He spoke. "The male fan was already taken away by the guards to detain him. The police are on their way now, too." He told Han Yao.

Han Yao understood. "I know. I will go to the mall's management now." He said. "You… after you are done shopping, stay in the car!" he told Su Yu before he ended the call to rush back to the mall.

Su Yu smiled before he kept his phone. When he turned, he saw that the young man is still there. Right. I almost forgot him. He thought and smiled. "Hello. Thanks for helping me just now." He spoke. "I am Su Yu. May I know your name?" he asked. "I'll treat you for a meal." He told him.

"No need." The young man spoke.

"Hm?" Su Yu blinked.

The young man looked at him. "I am Duan Yuan. A pharmacology student at Y University." He spoke. "Instead of a meal… can you let me join you when you livestream later in the Purple Old Manor?" he asked.

"… huh?" Su Yu looked at him, dumbfounded. There are many things to point out in this young man's words. And the main point is – "… are you my fan?" he asked.

Now, it was Duan Yuan's turn to feel stumped. If he answers 'no', then Su Yu might reject him to join him in going to the Purple Old Manor. If he answers 'yes'… there is a chance than he might accept.

"… yes." Duan Yuan answered. Just as he decided, however, he heard Su Yu spoke.

"You don't look like one." Su Yu said as he stared at him.

Duan Yuan. "…" how should he answer this sentence? He racked his brains. He really was never good in conversing.

"Be honest. Why do you want to join my exploration in the Purple Old Manor?" Su Yu asked. Looking at this expressionless face, he cannot fathom what the other is thinking. But, he is sure that this young man can't be his fan. He could hear the other's forced tone earlier, indicating that he lied.

So, what is his intention? Su Yu thought as he stared at Duan Yuan.

Duan Yuan was never this ashamed before. His ears turned red. Just why did I have to lie? He thought, now regretting it. He didn't expect for Su Yu to be good at reading people, so he was caught off-guard. Now, what should I do? He thought, feeling that his brain is filled with countless threads.

"You…" Su Yu muttered when he saw that the other has gone silent. "Do you want to be a livestream anchor?" he asked, trying to guess. Since this one obviously is taciturn, then I will just try to guess.

Duan Yuan fell speechless again. "…" should I lie again? He thought, hesitating. But, before he could decide, he heard Su Yu spoke again, which made him feel even more speechless.

"Seems not." Su Yu chuckled as he turned to resume shopping.

Duan Yuan was left not knowing what to do. But, since he has an objective, he followed behind Su Yu.

Su Yu turned to him. "Shall I continue guessing?" he asked.

Duan Yuan pursed his lips. He doesn't know whether Su Yu is being sarcastic or not.

Su Yu laughed. "You are really interesting." He said as he pushed his cart.

Duan Yuan. "…" this one is obviously sarcastic… he thought and heaved a sigh.

"Are you really a pharmacology student in Y University?" Su Yu asked.

This time, Duan Yuan answered. "Yes." He nodded as he took out his ID.

"Hmm… it seems like you are my junior." Su Yu said.

"'junior'?" Duan Yuan muttered. "You are also a pharmacology student?" he looked at Su Yu.

"I have already graduated." Su Yu said. Since he needed some diploma in this world, Su Yu attended Y University – the only university that is nearest to where Han Yao lived. He chose pharmacology since he is interested in medicine.

As for his high school and elementary diploma? Han Yao took care of that.

"I see…" Duan Yuan muttered.

"So, you don't want to become a livestream anchor." Su Yu spoke, resuming their topic earlier.

Duan Yuan feels defeated. Su Yu is really good in conversing.

"Then, could you be a spy sent from the other platforms who want to sabotage my livestream later?" Su Yu guessed again.

Duan Yuan stopped and stared at him. "There are things like that?" he muttered. "Someone wanted to trouble you again?" he asked.

Su Yu also stopped and looked at Duan Yuan. When he heard what the other said, he almost rolled in laughter. How can someone be this ignorant? He thought and sighed when he recalled that he was once ignorant of the world.

"No. I am just joking." Su Yu shook his head and resumed shopping.

"You don't look like you are joking." Duan Yuan said with his brows knitted.

Su Yu's smile froze on his lips. Then, he turned to look at Duan Yuan, only to see that the other called someone on his phone.

"Uncle. Is it true that – " Duan Yuan spoke when the other line answered before he posed a question from Su Yu's words earlier.

Su Yu. "…" damn, this kid… just who is he? He thought. Who are these kid's parents? Just how did they raise him to be this naïve?! He felt his head hurt.

"Really?" Duan Yuan frowned when he heard Duan Fanbai's answer from the other line. "Earlier, there was a stalker who followed your employee. Was he actually also a spy sent by the anchors from the other platforms – mm!" his eyes widened when Su Yu suddenly covered his mouth.

"What did you say?! 'employee'?!" Su Yu exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Duan Yuan. "You… how are you related to the boss?!" he asked. "Wait, 'Duan'… you are the boss's relative?!" he was shocked. And here he was thinking just now about this kid's parents…

"Hm? Is it xiao Yu?" Duan Fanbai's voice spoke from the other line. "Xiao Yu. Can you take xiao Yuan later in the Purple Old Manor?" he asked.

Su Yu. "…" it seems that their boss is the mastermind!
