Chapter 36: The So-Called Meetup (2/2)

With a rigid face, Chu Fu looked down to see Bai Yan’s hand securely wrapped around her waist, nothing looking wrong about it.

“Act natural, like we’re a pair of lovers.”

Chu Fu secretly scolded him in her heart, as if a basket case like him would have a girlfriend. In the end, she had no choice but to reluctantly acknowledge his instructions. This guy’s actions were extremely natural. From an outsider’s perspective, they would look like two people who were being intimately close with each other, one would even think that they were sweethearts.

There was no doubt in Chu Fu’s mind that if she were to dare scream and make a ruckus, this guy would shamelessly say that she was his girlfriend and that they were merely having a lovers’ quarrel, leading him to drag her away by force.

Of course, with a sharp knife pressed against her side and a psycho that could stab her at any time, she didn’t dare say anything.

Chu Fu gathered her strength and put on a stiff smile. Bai Yan shortly followed suit, and the two entered the park.

On this hot weekday, there weren’t a lot of people who went to the park to play at noon.

The huge park was empty, except for some elderly people that were exercising.

Bai Yan led Chu Fu to an isolated area and sat down, his hand still holding onto Chu Fu’s waist and never letting his grip loosen.

Seeing that Chu Fu was obediently sitting on the stone bench and looked as though she were at God’s mercy, Bai Yan, who had been put in a bad mood by the sun exposure, felt happier.

As expected, if you weren’t happy to begin with but saw someone who was unhappier than you, then you would feel better.

Chu Fu’s expression reflected as if she had nothing left to live for and appeared as if she had already given up hope.

Knowing that she wouldn’t start screaming and shouting, Bai Yan opened the camera on his phone and told her, “You can explain.”

“Explain what?”

“Just explain that you are a bulimic mukbang vlogger.”

Chu Fu was surprised the moment she heard this, “How did you know?”

“Although you put on makeup during your live streams, don’t consider your fans as idiots.” Bai Yan continued, “Don’t ask too many questions. First take off the band-aid on the back of your hand, and I’ll help you record the video.”

“You tried to find me just to make me do this?” Chu Fu muttered while her heart started to fill with wild guesses, but she wasn’t as panicked as she felt at first.

Honestly, Bai Yan didn’t anticipate using this video to blackmail her. Compared to life or death situations, Chu Fu could still survive three more months without being a mukbang star. However, even if the video proved to be useless, he still needed to have it. After Chu Fu described how she made herself vomit after her mukbang shows, Bai Yan put away his phone and breezily changed the topic, “Don’t be nervous. I called you here because I wanted to have a chat with you.”

“Could you get rid of the knife first?”

“No.”

“Fine.” Chu Fu felt more terrified in an instant. “What do you want to discuss?”

“Just about how you exposed me in the forum.”

“…” Chu Fu’s face immediately turned green, she knew that things weren’t that simple.

The muddleheaded Chu Fu waited for a few seconds before asking for a follow-up. On the other hand, Bai Yan greatly appreciated the quick change in her complexion. He curled his lips in a smile and slowly asked, “Actually, you don’t need to worry about this matter. Afterall, I’m not a narrow-minded person.”

‘With you holding a knife right now, do you think I would easily believe your words?’

Chu Fu weakly let out a scoff in her mind, but with a knife in his hands, she couldn’t act freely, so she blankly asked, “I’m also not worried about it.”

“Very good.” Bai Yan sounded delighted, “If ever you match with me in the game, act as if you don’t know me. Since I am a basket case, and a basket case that isn’t in a good mood at that, even I don’t know what I might do to you.”

“Moreover, I’ll be keeping an eye out for the posts in the forum. I don’t want to see anymore posts about me.”

“…” Hearing Bai Yan flatly call himself a mental case, Chu Fu was on the brink of tears and vigorously nodded her head like a small chick pecking at rice, fearing that if she had slowed down for even just a second, Bai Yan’s mood would suddenly turn sour, making him do some unspeakable things to her.

After convincing Chu Fu, Bai Yan’s worries had disappeared.

He finally released the hand situated in Chu Fu’s waist and put on his coat to protect his skin from the glaring sun.

Chu Fu silently watched as Bai Yan quickly departed and looked at the knife that was previously threatening her, causing her expression to change.

The knife that was hidden away inside the coat earlier has finally revealed its true colors.

It was a sharp object wrapped in tin foil. She tore the sharpened tin foil open, only to discover that it was just a harmless mixture of chocolate and hard candy shaped like a knife.

And because of the scorching hot sun, the chocolate inside had melted a bit while the handle of the candy knife, which was made of crispy biscuit, was still in a good condition.

A suffocating sensation suddenly overcame Chu Fu’s heart. She took a bite out of the candy knife and fiercely chewed it to small fragments.

Wang Ze, I remember you.
