Shang Junxiao said, it wasn’t just that.

Every time, whether at home or in the training room, he always felt as if someone was staring at him.

It wasn’t a normal gaze, it was more like a lurking peep from the darkness, sending chills down his spine.

Whenever he sang or danced, he would get easily distracted, and the physical strength he once took pride in couldn’t keep up.

He felt that maybe his interest in singing and dancing was just a whim, and now that some time had passed and the interest had faded, he was no longer up to par.

“Brother, do you think I’m not cut out for the industry? If I don’t pursue it professionally and just sing and dance when I feel like it, would I not end up like this?” Shang Junxiao choked up, voicing his pain.

Yet, Wen Zishu’s mind was clouded with doubt.

“Old Shang, you mentioned that you sleepwalk?”, Zishu inquired.

Bowing his head, Shang Junxiao murmured, “Yeah, I didn’t even know I had this problem…”

Wen Zishu asked suspiciously, “Is this a recent development, or have you had this problem for a long time? You never mentioned it before!”

“No, it seems to have started recently. I never had this issue before.” Shang Junxiao was in despair, “I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it might be due to excessive mental stress…”

Wen Zishu asked for confirmation, “Old Shang, you’re sure you didn’t have this problem before, right?”

“Of course I’m sure. When I first discovered I was sleepwalking, I even called my mom to make sure. She told me I never had such a problem before,” he said with certainty.

The mother of Shang Junxiao, unlike a heartless father.

Even though Shang Junxiao didn’t live at home, his mother still kept in contact with him regularly.

Upon inadvertently discovering his sleepwalking, Shang Junxiao immediately sought confirmation from his mother.

It was after his mother’s denial that he went for a medical check-up.

“That said, Old Shang, how did you find out you were sleepwalking?”, Wen Zishu hooked his shoulder, lowering his voice to avoid being overheard by others.

Shang Junxiao replied, “It was because of that underwear incident.”

He was resting at home that day when early in the morning, someone suddenly knocked on his door.

Shang Junxiao groggily got up to open the door, and there stood his upstairs neighbor.

Seeing him, the neighbor asked if he had seen their underwear.

Shang Junxiao was completely baffled at the time; how could he have seen such a thing?

The neighbor mentioned that their underwear hanging on the balcony had disappeared, likely blown down, so they wanted to come in and look for it.

Shang Junxiao wasn’t too concerned and allowed them to search.

Turns out, the upstairs couple didn’t find the underwear on the balcony, but instead in his washing machine.

Right then, the couple started to accuse him.

The underwear hidden in the washing machine had to be Shang Junxiao’s doing, otherwise how could it have ended up there?

They even suspected Shang Junxiao was a pervert, definitely having done something to the underwear before tossing it into the machine to wash away the evidence.

Shang Junxiao was at a loss for words; he definitely didn’t steal the underwear, so naturally, he couldn’t confess.

The commotion even reached the property management asking to see the surveillance footage.

But the footage didn’t show Shang Junxiao stealing the underwear, nor did it show the neighbor’s underwear falling down.

It only captured a suspicious segment of Shang Junxiao himself pacing back and forth on the balcony.

There was no one else on the balcony, he wasn’t doing anything else, just a blurry figure pacing back and forth.

Since Shang Junxiao was the only one living in his apartment, it went without saying who the figure was.

The neighbor insisted that Shang Junxiao was hiding the underwear on the balcony at that time.
