What to Do if I Am Noticed by the Straight Guy Next Door?

The netizen鈥檚 revelation of the IP address sent a shiver down Su Bin鈥檚 spine. His mood changed from irritability to extreme fear because he knew that the person posting in English was not him but someone else in the house!

At this moment, he felt as if there were eyes watching his every move from behind鈥?/p>

Who is ALL? Why does their IP address match his own?

For a moment, Su Bin had a fleeting suspicion that ALL could be Allen himself, with a username that closely resembled his English name. But he quickly dismissed this idea鈥?/p>

Yang Chengzhe had said that Allen couldn鈥檛 speak Chinese, and Su Bin had chatted with him several times, knowing that Allen had little knowledge of Chinese culture.

If he didn鈥檛 even have a basic background, how could he navigate the advanced slang and internet language intermingled with historical allusions on the 鈥淐liff鈥? That place was filled with a mixture of modern Chinese slang, internet language, and historical references! Even a native Chinese person straight out of the factory would be completely confused by a term like 鈥淟anzhou pancake,鈥?let alone words like 鈥渢ongzi,鈥?鈥渕aji,鈥?or 鈥渉uoqian liuming.鈥?Even if you looked them up in a Chinese-English dictionary, it would be useless. There are also words like 鈥淲hite Bone Spirit鈥?and 鈥減rotein鈥?that carry deeper meaning, which even a native Chinese person wouldn鈥檛 understand without years of immersion in the online world.

Therefore, Su Bin believed it was highly unlikely that Allen himself would come across this forum post and be able to understand it. Moreover, Allen was such a cold and aloof person, he didn鈥檛 seem to have such a mischievous personality!

With only four people living in the house, the range of suspects was very small. If it wasn鈥檛 Allen, then the only possibility was either Yang Chengzhe or Jin Fei. It definitely couldn鈥檛 be Su Bin himself going crazy and posting a thread about eating himself鈥?/p>

Su Bin returned to check the posting time of ALL. The timestamp on the 鈥淐liff鈥?forum showed 鈥?0-05 07:22,鈥?which meant 22:00 on October 5th in country B, which was the midnight of the previous Sunday!

Su Bin recalled the events of that day鈥?Ah, that day happened to be the day Allen returned from city D, and they all had dinner together. Yang Chengzhe had suggested changing rooms at the dinner table, but Allen refused, saying he was too tired. Afterward, Allen cornered Su Bin in the bathroom and misinterpreted everything he said鈥?Thinking back to those moments, Su Bin felt annoyed.

If they deduced based on the timeline, all three of them had the opportunity to go up to the 鈥淐liff鈥?that night. However, Su Bin believed that Jin Fei was the most likely person to impersonate A and post the thread.

Although Su Bin didn鈥檛 know Jin Fei when he first moved in, if Jin Fei saw this thread, he would definitely be able to figure out that LZ (the original poster) was Su Bin based on some clues. Moreover, that annoying fly had teased Su Bin verbally more than once鈥?/p>

But the problem was, Jin Fei didn鈥檛 seem like someone who could keep calm. If he posted the thread, he would definitely want Su Bin to see it immediately and enjoy seeing the expression of fear on his face.

Su Bin didn鈥檛 want to continue guessing. Although he had known Jin Fei for a relatively short time, they had become the closest among the current group of people. Instead of guessing, he decided to ask directly.

鈥淒o you play 鈥淐liff鈥?鈥?Su Bin sent a text message to Jin Fei.

That guy had gone out to attend a social party again. He should change his title from 鈥淪ocial Prince鈥?to 鈥淪ocial Guru鈥濃€?/p>

Jin Fei hadn鈥檛 replied to the text message for a long time, and Su Bin grew more and more anxious. While waiting for the reply, he skimmed through a few pages of comments.

After the post exposing the IP address came out, the tone of the entire thread changed again:

|Author: Fei Rou Jun |Time: 200X-10-05 20:22
|Reply: Spectating the Technological Emperor! Light the candle for LZ!

鈥斺€斺€?/p>

|Author: Zhu Zhu ^^ |Time: 200X-10-05 21:32
|Reply: Lies! I鈥檝e been searching B country鈥檚 recent newspapers all day and didn鈥檛 see any news about a foreign student being eaten! (>//

So, at the end of the thread were the 鈥渕ourning鈥?and 鈥渃andle鈥?comments that Su Bin initially saw.

Hehe, the development of this thread is truly twisty and turny, just like a runaway roller coaster鈥?/p>

While thinking about how to reply and debunk the rumor of being 鈥渆aten,鈥?Su Bin鈥檚 phone received a text message.

鈥淣ot playing.鈥?Jin Fei replied concisely and straightforwardly.

Su Bin knew that Jin Fei always spoke directly and didn鈥檛 beat around the bush. His reply indicated that he wasn鈥檛 curious about why Su Bin asked this鈥?/p>

So, he definitely wasn鈥檛 鈥淎LL.鈥?/p>

Now Su Bin was puzzled. If it wasn鈥檛 Jin Fei, could it be Yang Chengzhe?

鈥o way, Chengzhe is such a kind and reliable person, and he鈥檚 even a doctor. If he saw the post and guessed that LZ was Su Bin, he would come directly to explain whether Allen was a vampire or not鈥?rather than responding with such a vague post.

But even though Su Bin trusted Yang Chengzhe, he didn鈥檛 dare to jump to conclusions. After all, if Chengzhe was also ruled out, there was only one possibility left鈥攖he post was indeed a reply from Allen!

The thought of this outcome made Su Bin even more terrified than finding out Allen was a vampire鈥?/p>

So he sneaked out and lightly knocked on Yang Chengzhe鈥檚 door, 鈥淏rother Cheng鈥︹€?/p>

鈥淪u Bin?鈥?Yang Chengzhe looked somewhat surprised at Su Bin鈥檚 anxious expression. 鈥淲hat鈥檚 wrong?鈥?/p>

鈥淐an I come in and talk?鈥?Su Bin asked in a low voice.

鈥淪ure, come in鈥︹€?Yang Chengzhe had already changed into his pajamas and was ready to sleep. Su Bin felt really embarrassed, but if he didn鈥檛 figure this out tonight, he would be up all night鈥?So, sorry!

鈥淏rother Cheng, I have something to ask you, and you have to tell me the truth!鈥?Su Bin said urgently.

Yang Chengzhe looked even more bewildered, 鈥淲hat鈥檚 the matter? Ask me.鈥?/p>

Su Bin widened his eyes and asked, 鈥淒o you know if I posted something on the 鈥淐liff鈥?鈥?/p>

Yang Chengzhe became even more confused, 鈥淲hat post?鈥?/p>

Su Bin took a deep breath, 鈥溾€︹€?Damn it, even鈥?even Brother Cheng doesn鈥檛 know QAQ!

Fifteen minutes later, guided by Su Bin, Yang Chengzhe read the popular post on the 鈥淐liff鈥?and laughed so hard that he collapsed onto the writing desk, 鈥淪u Bin鈥?You actually suspected that Allen was a vampire, hahaha鈥︹€?/p>

Su Bin: 鈥溾€︹€?/p>

Yang Chengzhe: 鈥淭his is so hilarious, hahaha鈥?I remember you actually bought garlic, hahaha鈥︹€?/p>

Su Bin: 鈥溾€?Brother Cheng, stop laughing at me.鈥?(T_T) ~~ I told you this without caring about my reputation! Please help me analyze whether that 鈥楢LL鈥?is really Allen, please鈥?/p>

Yang Chengzhe pounded the table: 鈥淚鈥檓 actually curious too. I wonder what Allen would think if he saw this post, hahaha鈥︹€?/p>

Su Bin: 鈥淒on鈥檛 tell him!鈥?(TAT)

Yang Chengzhe: 鈥淣o wonder, you seemed scared of Allen. Why wouldn鈥檛 you want him to switch rooms with me鈥?Oh, I see why now, hahaha鈥︹€?/p>

Su Bin: 鈥淗e misunderstood! I never said I didn鈥檛 want him to switch with you! Um, you better not tell him鈥︹€?/p>

Yang Chengzhe: 鈥淵ou鈥檙e really a funny person, hahaha鈥︹€?/p>

Su Bin: 鈥淏rother Cheng, stop laughing at me鈥︹€?sobs

Yang Chengzhe finally managed to stop laughing, looked at Su Bin鈥檚 embarrassed face, but couldn鈥檛 help laughing again鈥?/p>

鈥淎lright, alright鈥?Haha!鈥?Yang Chengzhe forced himself to stop laughing and explained to Su Bin, 鈥淚P addresses can be faked.鈥?/p>

鈥?!!鈥?/p>

Su Bin was instantly stunned! So, he worried for nothing?

Okay, it seems like from now on, he should only use initials when writing names (=_=)!

Yang Chengzhe added, 鈥淏ut we can鈥檛 be certain yet. This post wasn鈥檛 written by Allen.鈥?/p>

Su Bin: 鈥溾€︹€?/p>

Yang Chengzhe withdrew his smile and said seriously, 鈥淎s a scientific researcher, I can honestly tell you that I believe 鈥榲ampires鈥?do not exist.鈥?/p>

鈥淥h鈥︹€?Su Bin felt a sense of being belittled鈥?/p>

鈥淏ut who knows? Before Copernicus proposed the heliocentric model, everyone firmly believed that the Earth was the center of the universe鈥?So, what I believe may not be completely correct either.鈥?Yang Chengzhe smiled and shrugged.

Su Bin: 鈥溾€︹€?Brother Cheng, don鈥檛 play with me, TAT~

Yang Chengzhe: 鈥淭hat being said, I think your question is worth exploring. Well, let鈥檚 determine two topics: first, whether Allen is a vampire, and second, whether ALL is Allen.鈥?/p>

Su Bin: 鈥淏rother Cheng (_)鈥︹€?/p>

Yang Chengzhe said seriously, 鈥淔irst, to prove whether someone is a vampire, we would need to read scientific research reports on vampires. But as far as I know, there are currently only legends about vampires, and the main characteristics of vampires are derived from literature and fictional works. These cannot be used as reference. And as for online information, anyone can write anything鈥?Therefore, in the absence of evidence to prove the existence of 鈥榲ampires,鈥?if you do come across someone who seems to be a vampire, you need to make bold hypotheses and carefully investigate.鈥?/p>

Su Bin: 鈥淥kay, very professional鈥︹€?/p>

鈥淪o, let鈥檚 start by assuming 鈥楢llen is a vampire.鈥?The primary criterion for determining whether someone is a vampire is whether they drink blood鈥︹€?Yang Chengzhe looked at Su Bin with a mischievous smile and asked, 鈥淪u Bin, have you ever seen Allen drink blood with your own eyes?鈥?/p>

Su Bin: 鈥溾€?No, Orz鈥︹€?/p>

He always felt that when Yang Chengzhe called his name, it was like calling him a 鈥渇ool.鈥?/p>
