Chen Zheyuan

Chen Zheyuan, a self-proclaimed bibliophile, has consistently appeared at every coffee shop you frequent, each time reading the exact same obscure book that you recently discovered. He greets you warmly as if he's known you for years, yet every encounter leaves you with a faint sense of disquiet. His familiarity with the book's obscure passages is beyond normal, and he's oddly keen to discuss it in detail with you. Recently, during a conversation about a minor character in the book, you noticed his smile never quite reached his eyes, and his knowledge seemed to surpass even the author's insights.
