Master (Bonus Chapter for August's Kasumi, 3)

"Why did that bald guy sound like Jacky Cheung when he was singing?" It was a girl's voice.

"I was going to tell you you're blind, but I actually had the same feeling, like I could vaguely see Jacky Cheung singing." The voice came from the boy sitting in the same booth as her.

"I just recorded a video, I'll post it on WeChat Moments in a bit, let's see if everyone thinks it looks like me," the boy said, opening the video and watching it with the girl.

A moment later, the girl said, "I think we both just went blind..."

Both of them were only affected by "Emotional Assimilation," so it was natural for them to react this way when watching videos that did not have Emotional Assimilation effect. Xiang Kun was not surprised and shifted his attention to continue "eavesdropping."

"What's the name of this song again?" a female voice asked her companion.

"He just mentioned something about 'Da Zhang Fu' (The Real Man), by Jacky Cheung," her companion replied.

"It's strange. I think I just saw a concert and heard a symphony orchestra, but I've never heard this song before. It's so weird." The woman's voice was full of doubt.

"Look, this is a video I found, it's Jacky Cheung singing at a concert." Her companion handed her the phone.

"Huh? Huh? This is unbelievable! I really saw that scene just now. The stage, the conductor, the singer... well, some details are different. The singer's clothes are different, and the conductor's appearance is different too. But this is so strange! I've never seen this video before. Why could I see such a hallucination?" The woman's voice was filled with doubt and disbelief.

She was naturally one of the people who made eye contact with Xiang Kun and was affected by the "Projection Manifestation".

While Xiang Kun Zhengyi School was eavesdropping on the conversations inside the bar, Chang Bin said he needed to use the restroom and got up to leave.

Just then, one of the people Xiang Kun was trying to eavesdrop on, the one whose Projection Manifestation, " walked over.

"Hi, fortune teller, do you remember me?" Yang Jie, a girl with glasses and a scholarly air, walked over with a tall, handsome boy.

Xiang Kun smiled and said, "Of course I remember, hello Yang."

"I never knew you could sing! And you sing really well. I thought I was watching Jacky Cheung concert just now," Yang Jie said with a smile.

"Haha, you flatter me. It just so happened that the atmosphere and emotions were right. Actually, I don't have much singing skill. If you listen to it again, I guarantee you won't be able to handle it." Xiang Kun knew that Yang Jie didn't "think she saw"; she really saw the scene because she was one of the people who had made eye contact with him for a moment.

"And who is this?" Xiang Kun asked, looking at the tall boy next to her.

Just as the boy was extending his hand to introduce himself, Yang Jie suddenly stopped him, then put her arm around his and said with a smile, "Aren't you a fortune teller? Why don't you try to tell us how much information you can get about him?"

Xiang Kun spread his hands and said, "I use a computer to tell fortunes, there are no computers here. But I don't need to tell fortunes, just based on reasoning, the handsome guy next to you, when you put your arm around him, his expression showed a hint of disgust, but he didn't push you away, and judging from his body language, he didn't seem to mind the close contact. Logically, I should guess he's your boyfriend. But when you asked me to tell his information, you deliberately put your arm around him, which is suspicious. So I observed him carefully, and this handsome guy's features are actually very similar to yours, especially his lips. Considering your intimacy and his apparent age, I speculate that he's your younger brother, and most likely your biological brother. The National Day holiday is over, if he were a high school student, you wouldn't bring him out at this time, and you mentioned last time that you're not a local, so he might be here to attend university. Those people over there look like students from your school. You came out with your classmates and your younger brother, so I guess he might have been admitted to the university you attend?"

Yang Jie and her brother were dumbfounded. Actually, the girl with glasses had only casually asked Xiang Kun to "tell her fortune," but she never expected that he could actually tell her relationship with her brother and even that her brother had been admitted to the same university as her.

Thinking back to that magical A4 paper from last time, Yang Jie suddenly became extremely interested in the fortune-telling software that Xiang Kun had mentioned that he and that chubby Liu Chuang had made.

"Wow! Wow, this is amazing! When I watched those detective dramas before, I always thought the plots that portrayed the protagonists as having high IQs were too exaggerated. I never thought I'd meet a real person like this. It's really incredible!" Yang Jie's younger brother exclaimed sincerely.

Xiang Kun smiled and said, "I even know your name and which dorm room you live in..."

He certainly didn't deduce it through reasoning; he had a more direct method—eavesdropping.

When Yang Jie introduced her younger brother to some classmates, Xiang Kun overheard everything she said. Knowing the outcome, it would be much easier for him to come up with a few plausible excuses.

Just as the three were about to chat for a while longer, a series of curses came from not far away. Xiang Kun reacted quickly and immediately turned around and rushed over because he had already heard Chang Bin's voice.

After Chang Bin finished using the restroom, he heard a message notification on his phone as he came out. He picked up his phone to reply to the message, but unexpectedly, while looking down, he bumped into a group of people coming in from the entrance.

He happened to bump into one of the girls in the group. Although it was just an accidental collision and no one would get hurt, the boys who came in with the girl seemed to be set on fire. They surrounded Chang Bin and wouldn't let him leave, accusing him of deliberately trying to grope her, saying that he was drunk and wanted to take the opportunity to flirt with her. They all tried their best to show off in front of the girl.

Of course, they didn't really take action, they just acted like people in the world, showing off their majesty.

Chang Bin knew, of course, that there was no point in arguing with these young people in their early twenties or even under twenty. If he did, he would only suffer the consequences. He raised his hand and apologized repeatedly, indicating that he truly meant no harm.

"What are you doing!" Xiang Kun pulled the young men surrounding Chang Bin away before the bar's security arrived, and walked over to stand in front of Chang Bin.

"Damn it, you dare push me? You're asking for it!" The tall young man who was standing in front of Chang Bin and was pushed away Xiang Kun was initially furious. This bar was owned by his brother, and he had to maintain a strong presence in front of his friends. But when he saw the signature glasses and bald head, the word "die" slipped out of his mouth.

This tall young man was the one who had a brief altercation with Xiang Kun in the KTV corridor during Tang Baona's birthday party, and who had choked her once.

After that, he originally thought of asking his cousin, who owned a bar, to help him get revenge. However, his cousin, who was always regarded as having extensive connections and being very resourceful, warned them not to mess with the person who had choked him after learning what he looked like. He then gave a lot of speculation about the mysterious background of the bald, bespectacled guy.

If anyone else had said those things, he would have just laughed at them for being a coward. But the one who said those things was his cousin, the cousin everyone called "Brother Dong." So he believed those words without a doubt and thought that the bald, bespectacled guy was definitely someone he couldn't mess with.

Unexpectedly, he saw the other person again today at his cousin's bar.

Not only the tall young man, but another young man named "A Hua" who had seen Xiang Kun in the KTV corridor before also recognized him. So the two of them fell silent at the same time and subconsciously stepped back.

The other companions, who had always followed the lead of these two, sensed their unusual behavior. Although they didn't understand why, they noticed the awkward atmosphere and stopped making a fuss, making way for them.

Not far away, Yang Jie's younger brother, seeing this scene, craned his neck and asked, "Sis, your fortune-telling friend won't get hurt, will he? Should we go help him?"
