Xiao He squatted down and offered to help pick up the bag of cookies from the ground.

"cough."

To avoid being recognized by fans, Xiao He didn't speak, but just coughed lightly and handed the cookie back to the girl.

The girl glanced at the cookies in Xiao He's hand, then at the "ordinary-looking" man in front of her. She didn't reach out to take them, but simply said in a nonchalant tone, "You can have them yourself."

As she spoke, the elevator doors slowly closed.

Because there were many people who needed to go up, the elevator was very crowded, with the number of people just barely reaching the elevator's maximum weight limit.

The mixed smells were quite noticeable in the enclosed space.

Xiao He was slightly taken aback, not because of the other party's lukewarm attitude, but because of the familiar aura of kindred spirits that permeated the air.

The scent was faint, yet carried an undeniable air that pierced through his mask and entered his nostrils, gently provoking his senses and making him instinctively want to reach out and remove his mask to confirm.

However, Xiao He then realized what was happening and managed to restrain himself.

The elevator was packed with people, most of whom were his fans. If he took this off, someone would definitely recognize him.

However, there's actually no need to remove your mask for confirmation.

Xiao He subtly raised his hand, first shielding his mother, who was already beside him, behind him.

Although bad guys might not necessarily do anything malicious in such a cramped elevator, once he notices the other person's presence, he will be on high alert to prevent the other person from suddenly attacking and harming someone important to him.

"bite--"

Fortunately, the mall's elevators are very efficient; they stopped smoothly on the first floor in just a few breaths.

The people who were originally crowded together gradually got off the elevator.

Xiao He deliberately stepped aside to let the others in the elevator go first, subtly observing each person who stepped off ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) the elevator.

Until that fan carrying a trailer walked past him—

As she passed by Xiao He, a faint scent of her own kind brushed past his nose before disappearing with her master.

The female fan put down the trailer, dragging a load of cookies, and slowly walked towards the central square.

Xiao He stood still, staring in the direction the girl had left, his expression more somber than ever before.

Until his shoulder was patted by Xiao's mother beside him.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao's mother looked at her son with some worry, not understanding why Xiao He suddenly stopped moving after just one elevator ride.

"fine."

Xiao He temporarily withdrew his gaze and shook his head at his mother. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After walking a few more steps, Xiao He remembered that he still had a bag of cookies that he had just picked up.

And this bag of cookies was dropped by that dangerous "kindred spirit".

Xiao He didn't mind that he hadn't received a thank you for helping pick up the things; he simply held the bag of biscuits in his hand and weighed it in his hand.

He then noticed something was wrong.

Out of a certain vigilance, Xiao He likes to subconsciously squeeze any sealed packaged food before eating it to check if it is leaking air.

Normally, these food packages usually contain expanding gas, which mainly serves as a cushioning and shockproof measure. However, for Xiao He, its main purpose is to prove that the food packaging is intact and has not been damaged by others.

This is also to ensure the safety of the food they consume.

But this time, Xiao He discovered something unusual—

The cookie in his hand was flat, and it felt wrong when he squeezed it; it seemed like it wasn't sealed properly.

Xiao He decisively crushed the cookies inside, then gripped the entire cookie wrapper in one hand, slowly tightening his grip...

Sure enough, as the internal space of the biscuit shrank again, Xiao He clearly felt gas being expelled from somewhere.

When he opened his palm again, the cookie, along with its packaging, had been squeezed into a thin sheet.

Xiao He stared at the "corpse" of the biscuit in his hand, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

An ominous premonition welled up in my heart.

This was the first time he had felt such danger since becoming a "criminal".

"mom--"

Xiao He quickly grabbed his mother and pointed to the figure that hadn't gone far ahead, "That girl seems a bit strange. Could you go and get me another pack of cookies?"

Although he didn't know the other party's purpose for the time being, Xiao He's current status made it inappropriate for him to directly approach and strike up a conversation with them.

So it would be more appropriate to have his mother ask for a pack at this time.

Having been a teacher for many years, Xiao's mother was no less vigilant about student safety than Xiao He. After hearing Xiao He's words, her gaze turned stern. She glanced at the biscuits in Xiao He's hand and nodded slightly. Without even asking a few more questions, she went straight to catch up with the girl in front of her.

Xiao He, meanwhile, remained a short distance away, cautiously observing the commotion.

A few minutes later, Xiao's mother returned with a bag of biscuits.

"The cookie packaging is also leaking air."

Xiao's mother handed the cookies to Xiao He, her face very serious. "Son, have you run into some anti-fans from your rivals who came to your base to launch an attack?"

Xiao He's lips twitched: "Mom, you not only have a rich imagination, but your vocabulary is also quite trendy."

However, Xiao He quickly fell silent again.

Thanks to that origami crane, he recently conducted an in-depth investigation into some of the haters and sasaeng fans on his own network in order to expose the blacklist. It was quite an eye-opener for him. Some people's extreme thinking is really unimaginable for normal people.

It's hard for normal people to understand why, just because her manager works diligently and follows her around to events every day, some extreme fans curse her, suspect she's the real sister-in-law, and then wish her to die.

It's hard for normal people to understand why a mere glance exchanged during an event would be interpreted by fans as rolling their eyes at their idol, leading them to follow him on Weibo daily, posting candles and wreaths to wish him a happy death anniversary.

Xiao He went from initially trying to understand and reflect to giving up on treatment, and finally decisively collected evidence and handed it over to the legal department, letting others deal with this headache instead of wasting time on those malicious words.

But now that his mother had reminded him, Xiao He had indeed become alert.

If there's anything particularly noteworthy that's happened recently, it's that their company has officially started suing those guys.

Because the targets this time are all the worst of the worst, and the evidence collected is too complete and too egregious, Xiao He's attitude towards this matter is to resolutely refuse to reconcile and to sue them severely to suppress their arrogance.

With Xiao He using some hacking tricks, these defendants are probably having a tough time lately.

Xiao He could only describe these people as deserving of their fate.

But now it seems that this has driven some people to desperation.

Xiao He's expression suddenly turned cold.

Xiao He squatted down and offered to help pick up the bag of cookies from the ground.

"cough."

To avoid being recognized by fans, Xiao He didn't speak, but just coughed lightly and handed the cookie back to the girl.
