Seemingly feeling that he had no one to share his delight with, the chief celebrant waved a hand at Wang Man and removed the leaves covering her mouth.
"Do you feel it too, Miss Wang Man? Let us savor this delightful pleasure we so long for."
Wang Man felt nothing of the sort. She just felt that the person before her was insane...
"Who exactly are you?"
"Who exactly am I? Do you mean my identity? My name? Or some other distinguishing thing?"
"Your name."
"My name? Names aren't actually important. I've had many before. For example, I was called Luo Sen when I was young, then Xiong Zemo, and later Mo Chen. I've used many, many names, but if you want something to call me, then call me Mo Chen."
As Mo Chen spoke, he glanced at the Sun on the horizon from time to time, then checked his watch.
He seemed to be constantly checking some effect related to time. Wang Man took particular notice of that.

"Mo Chen, what are you planning to do to Xu Le?"
"He is a perfect existence, even more perfect than you. What a thing to look forward to. Miss Wang Man, I believe that very soon, you won't need to ask my name anymore. You can affectionately call me Brother Xu Le, just as you used to!"
Wang Man: ...
Wang Man felt her scalp prickle. There were more and more freaks in this world.
Brother Xu Le? Ugh...
"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you looking forward to it too? Before long, your love won't have to go unrequited anymore. Your Brother Xu Le will return to your side..."
"Get lost! Crawl away! Who wants you by my side? Get the hell away!
