"It's all cleared up," Bai Yuqi said, looking at the neatly listed information on his computer. He couldn't help but glance at his assistant, who was pacing back and forth in the studio, fuming.
He had only guessed before that this assistant was a fan of Yu Yinyin, but he hadn't expected that this eccentric little assistant would be such a devoted fan.
As soon as he returned, he had assigned the task, thinking he and his assistant would start working together to collect all the evidence as quickly as possible.
He hadn't expected that his assistant would have already prepared everything beforehand. If Bai Yuqi hadn't assigned the task, he would have posted it online.
His assistant had even deciphered the IP addresses controlling the online trolls.
It was clear that his eccentric assistant was very angry.
"So quickly?" Xia Qingtian was also a bit surprised. Was Bai Yuqi really that efficient?
"It's a long story," Bai Yuqi didn't think this was a good time to introduce his assistant to Xia Qingtian. "In short, I'll go over there now, bring all this evidence, and we'll go through it from the beginning. Call my adversary too; he's experienced and capable of anything."
"Okay," Xia Qingtian replied and immediately said, "Then bring some food with you, Yinyin and I haven't eaten yet."
"Alright," Bai Yuqi agreed, hung up the phone, and got up to tidy himself up before saying, "Nemo, I'm going to Yu Yinyin's place."
As soon as Nemo heard Bai Yuqi was going to Yu Yinyin's, he stopped his angry pacing around the studio, his eyes fixed on Bai Yuqi, looking like he had something to say but couldn't.
"Shall I order you a pizza? And coke, not the diet kind?" Bai Yuqi was accustomed to Nemo's eating habits.
"I, I'll go with you," Nemo moved his lips, as if mustering great courage. "I want to see Yu Yinyin."
"Huh?" Bai Yuqi was a bit startled.
Good heavens, Nemo wasn't just a fan of Yu Yinyin; he was an extremely devoted one!
You see, Nemo usually wouldn't even leave his room. He was such a shut-in, like a caveman guarding his den, afraid that if he left, other creatures would snatch it away.
Today, he had walked around outside the room, and his day's exercise probably exceeded the total accumulated exercise he had done since he came to work for Bai Yuqi!
And now, he was even going to leave his den!
This was serious...
Although Bai Yuqi didn't understand fan culture, he couldn't help but silently give a thumbs-up in his heart.
The power of idols was indeed infinite.
"Since you collected the evidence, it's fine if you can explain it clearly," Bai Yuqi paused and added, "She's very weak right now. You, uh... you shouldn't scare her when you get there."
Upon hearing Bai Yuqi say Yu Yinyin was very weak, Nemo's expression became even more serious. In the end, he silently nodded.
After leaving his apartment, the moment Nemo saw Bai Yuqi's flashy red sports car, his eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but feel disgusted.
But now, he had no other suitable transportation, so he could only sit obediently in the passenger seat.
Bai Yuqi drove to a nearby fast-food restaurant they frequented and packed some delicious meals. Considering Yu Yinyin's physical condition, he also added a bowl of congee.
When Bai Yuqi returned with the packed food, he saw Nemo nervously adjusting his long, obscuring hair in the car's mirror.
"Tsk," Bai Yuqi couldn't help but chuckle.
This was truly going to see his idol, even Nemo was starting to care about his appearance.
After placing the food, Bai Yuqi sat in the driver's seat. The image of Yu Yinyin flashed in his mind, and he casually raised his hand to adjust his own hairstyle before driving to Yu Yinyin's residence.
He still remembered the way, having gone there just once before.
When they arrived, he carried the food upstairs. Xia Qingtian opened the door.
Seeing a strange person following behind Bai Yuqi, Xia Qingtian was a bit surprised.
"My assistant," Bai Yuqi replied as he walked in, "He found all that information. If there are any questions later, let him answer them directly."
"Then please come in," Xia Qingtian moved aside.
Nemo nodded to Xia Qingtian before walking in. His eyes darted around, seemingly searching for Yu Yinyin.
"Yinyin just fell asleep," Xia Qingtian said softly. "She was too tired. She wanted to look at her phone just now, but I was afraid she'd see something upsetting, so I didn't let her."
"It's good that she didn't look," Bai Yuqi clicked his tongue. Even someone as carefree as him felt the urge to lash out when he saw that upsetting stuff.
Nemo didn't interject but also nodded emphatically.
At that moment, a slight sound came from the bedroom. Xia Qingtian looked back and said, "She should be awake now."
"I'll leave this food to you. I'll go say hello to her," Bai Yuqi felt a bit nervous in his heart.
"Okay," Xia Qingtian took the food and placed it simply on the dining table.
Nemo followed closely behind Bai Yuqi to Yu Yinyin's room. Bai Yuqi knocked twice. After hearing a "Come in" from inside, he pushed the door open.
Yu Yinyin leaned back against the pillows, looking towards the door.
Seeing Bai Yuqi appear before her, Yu Yinyin's heart skipped a beat.
Before she fell asleep, she had chatted with Xia Qingtian, who told her that Bai Yuqi had carried her to bed when she fainted.
Seeing that Yu Yinyin was awake, Bai Yuqi finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, seeing her pale little face, he couldn't help but feel concerned. "You're awake."
"Yes, thank you. Sorry for the trouble," Yu Yinyin said with pursed lips.
"No trouble at all, we're all so familiar with each other, haha," Bai Yuqi said with feigned casualness, but he felt something was a bit off.
Why did his heart race whenever he met Yu Yinyin's eyes?
This feeling was so strange.
His heart fluttered, and he blurted out, "Find me again next time you faint."
The moment he said it, Bai Yuqi regretted it. What nonsense was he spouting?
Yu Yinyin was also taken aback, and then she smiled shyly. "Okay."
Hearing Yu Yinyin's gentle reply, a flush spread across Bai Yuqi's face, reaching his ears. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
It was only then that Gu Yaoyang's voice was heard, and Bai Yuqi found an excuse to quickly slip away.
Only Yu Yinyin and Nemo were left.
Nemo's gaze was too intense for Yu Yinyin to ignore. She looked up at Nemo's face, her eyes gradually reddening, as if all the grievances she had endured for so long could finally be expressed without reservation. In the end, she softly uttered a single word with a tearful voice, "Ge..."
