Chen You opened his mouth wide as he wheezed. He pinched his throat with his fingers, his face flushing as red as fried chili peppers.
Jian Dan asked, “What’s wrong?”
Chen You pointed to his mouth with one finger and grabbed Jian Dan with the other hand, on the verge of suffocation.
Would this murderer save him? Yes, with one face for psychotic massacres, and another face for being elegant and gentle.
After years of balancing both sides at the same time, neither side would be given up.
Jian Dan glanced at his sleeve and then raised his eyes. “Something’s stuck, right?”
Chen You nodded his head ceaselessly, realizing it was unlikely that he’d just sit back and watch him die.
Jian Dan said, “Stand up and turn around.”
Chen You quickly followed suit.
Two arms came from behind his back and wrapped around the bottom of his ribcage.
Chen You lowered his head and saw that Jian Dan’s fingers were interlocked in a fist and he was forcefully lifted up again and again.
He coughed for a while and the candy eventually flew out.
What the fuck, going from the gates of hell and back is too terrifying.
His gaze brimming with tears, Chen You wiped the corners of his eyes and said, “Thank you, professor.”
Jian Dan said with a smile, “We’re not at school, so no need to call me that.”
Chen You rubbed his eyes. “What should I call you?”
He revealed an expectant expression, “Can I call you Senior?”
Jian Dan said, “It’s up to you.”
Chen You gave himself a thumbs up in his heart. Very good, that’s the right rhythm.
He searched for a topic of conversation, “Senior, are you studying here as well?”
Instead of answering, Jian Dan picked up the book that had fallen on the ground and commented, “Micro expressions?”
Chen You’s back ran cold. “I just think it’s fun.”
Jian Dan flipped through the book and said casually, “It’s interesting.”
Chen You gulped. Fuck me, hearing you say this, I’m so scared my three legs are shaking.
Jian Dan added, “I see you wrote some notes, can I take a look?”
No you can’t, you’re the one I’m studying. At the top, I doodled a lot of your fellow miscreants on it and I also drew a huge bird.
Chen You hesitated to speak.
Jian Dan didn’t pressure him again to open the book. He was upright and dignified, exuding a quiet and elegant atmosphere which made others infatuated.
However, Chen You was not fascinated. His mind was preoccupied with the other’s hidden side. He tried to break through the weird atmosphere. “Senior, I’ll treat you to coffee.”
Jian Dan looked down.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Chen You lifted his head, “It’s good you were here or I would have choked on the candy.”

Chen You’s hair stood on end. What’s the matter? Am I too anxious? Did something get exposed?

Jian Dan, “Okay.”
Chen You quickly said farewell to the target and took the initiative to leave first. He was afraid of being finished off by the other party and following the path of the previous transmigrator.
Walking out of the bookstore, he gasped, “I experienced that familiar creepy feeling again. How many times has it been? Why does this keep happening?”
The system says, “It’s just your imagination.”
Chen You retorted angrily, “The last time I asked you, you said the same thing!”
The system countered, “Really? I don’t remember.”
Chen You gritted his teeth in anger. He looked back, and from a distance he saw the man exit the bookstore, making a phone call as he walked. Unexpectedly, through the hustle and bustle of the city, the man was still able to detect his gaze quickly and accurately.
What dreadful perception.
Chen You squeezed out a smile, waved his hand and ran away.
He went home and continued to study up on micro expressions. There was no other way. To deal with a psycho while pretending that the other wasn’t crazy, he would need to constantly keep his emotions in check so as not to give himself away.
This wasn’t something his IQ could handle.
Chen You was self-aware.
Unfortunately, these random mission targets were all blackened.
On Monday morning, Chen You was writing a resume with his computer. Once he finished writing, the screen suddenly turned blue.
“…”
If you have money to buy trendy brand names, why can’t you buy a computer?
Chen You pulled out the case, closed the laptop and put it away, reluctant to do anything else. This old man was almost at death’s door.
In the morning, after submitting a resume to Jian Dan’s company, Chen You went to the mall.
There were a lot of shops inside, and the mobile phone retail shops were all in the same general area and very close to each other.
The boss wasn’t in. He had gone to another shop to talk business. A few girls were there selling mobile phones.
Chen You couldn’t do this job. He sat on a chair fiddling with his earstuds. He didn’t know if it was from when he washed his hair or from when he slept with his earrings on, but his ears seemed to be inflamed.
A young girl called out, “Sheng-ge, come here.”
Chen You turned around and asked, “Why?”
The girl made a pleading gesture, “This guest wants su2, but I don’t have one here. Help me get one from the back.”
Chen You stood up and went to get it for her. When he came back, he saw Jian Dan in the store with a long-legged girl beside him.
He whooshed over and ran to the side, “Isn’t the target gay?”
The system responded, “Disappointed?”
Chen You said, “I have nothing to be disappointed about, but there’s not enough time to be happy.”
“You don’t understand. I’m really scared of being pecked.My kidney in this world isn’t good. If I play harder, it will be damaged.
The system suddenly stated, “The target is gay, and you’re the type he likes.”
Extreme joy gives rise to sorrow.
“Then who is the beauty next to him? An older sister? Younger sister?”
He sighed. “You see, I don’t have any information about the target. I ask the same questions as the intellectually disabled.”
System, “…” Don’t you do that normally?
When Jian Dan saw the youth come in, he asked with surprise, “Do you work here?”
Chen You grinned. “Yes.”
Jian Dan said, “My friend wants to buy a mobile phone. Do you have any recommendations?”
Chen You blurted out, “No.”
Some ill-timed laughter escaped him, “Hahahahaha! I mean, the phones in the store are great.”
“For female students…. Ah-Yao, what do you recommend for this beauty?”
The lass was very happy to take over helping the guest.
Chen You played with the lighter on the table. Glancing from the corner of his eye, he continued observing as the long-legged girl put her arms around Jian Dan and chattered in a foreign language that he didn’t understand.
He complained to the system.
The system replied, “Then you should study more.”
Chen You retorted, “Can you eat the same amount of food in one breath as a fat person?”
These days, he fell asleep hugging books and woke up with books in his arms. He had never exerted so much effort, even for his high school and college examinations.
“The target’s laugh… how to describe it? Like a spring breeze, that’s it.”
Chen You took a peek, “If I wasn’t aware of his hidden side, I’d like to be friends with him.”
He suddenly exclaimed, “It’s broken!”
In the book store that day, Jian Dan had answered his question and mentioned that he had studied micro expressions. Additionally, his research was very thorough and much more extensive than his.
Did that mean that the target had already noticed something from his words and actions?
“What should I do? My neck is cold. I feel like I’m going to lose it soon.”
“Since it’s already here, you might as well calm down.”
Unable to be at peace, Chen You said, “Can you teach me something to defend myself?”
System, “The target has studied karate for many years.”
Chen You, “…”
System, “You can use a honey-trap.”
Chen You coldly sneered, “Then he will find out I’m not interested in the unknown bird raised by his family. Instead, I’m interested in doing big things to the man himself.”
“After that, I will follow in the footsteps of the previous transmigrator and it will be bye bye.”
At the counter the long-legged girl had already settled on a mobile phone and Jian Dan was swiping his card.
Chen You was curious about their relationship. They didn’t act like a couple.
A close friend? Not quite.
He went over and inquired, “Senior, is this beautiful sister your girlfriend?”
Jian Dan signed the receipt with his left hand, so he was left-handed. “No.”
Chen You continued to probe, “You look like a good match. I thought you were together.”
Jian Dan put the pen down and looked at Chen You in an ambiguous way. His eyes stopped on his ears. “Why are your ears so red?”
Chen You was taken aback, “It might be inflamed.”
“Apply some ointment.” Jian Dan retracted his gaze and gently said, “It’s not good to wear so many ear studs.”
Chen You said, “I was just about to take them off.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Dan didn’t react, but the girls in the store looked shocked.
The original owner was a person who was extremely fond of earrings. His selfies were all taken the same way, using a close-up 45 degree angle.
Chen You scratched his ears. Shit, the more I speak, the more I get wrong.
Taking the phone, Jian Dan left with the long-legged girl while chatting and laughing.
Several young girls curiously approached and asked, “Sheng-ge, who is that man? You called him Senior. Is that the same one you told us about before… the wealthy boss?”
Chen You asserted, “Yes, it’s him.”
All the girls praised Jian Dan as a flower, praising how kind he was to his girlfriend. He was so considerate to accompany her window shopping and to buy her a mobile phone.
“Sheng-ge, are you really not going to wear earrings?”
“I’m tired of wearing them,” Chen You stated. “From now on I’ll just wear two, one on each side.”
He made an excuse to escape the company of the girls and went out for a cigarette. If Jian Dan’s company informed him of an interview, he had great hopes of passing.
If so, he wouldn’t be coming to the mall anymore. It would be hard to tell Xu Ling.
On Friday afternoon, Chen You was wandering around the wholesale market in Dongcheng trying to find a place to eat when he happened to spot Jian Dan. Chen You followed him all the way to a car dealership.
“No, my task is not to help the police solve the case, but to take away the evil thoughts in Jian Dan’s heart.
“You finally remembered your mission.”
“…”
Chen You bought a gray baseball cap for his head and put on a mask.
When the celebrities go out, they put on hats, a big mask to cover their faces, and wear big sunglasses, only revealing a pair of eyes.
Only true love fans would be able to identify them.
Even if Jian Dan met him, he would never recognize him.
Chen You felt more confident at this thought. He pressed down the brim of his hat and bowed his head before walking into the car dealership.

You’re thinking too much, even if you do a surgery the target will still r ecognize you 🙂
He keeps spotting Jian Dan, I don’t believe it’s a coincidence. Instead of stalking Jian Dan, I think he’s the one getting stalked 😂
