In this chapter, we find out that the young man in question is Hu Can, the protagonist of the previous chapter. He's the one who gave the protagonist the courage to fight against the evil Dostoevsky. Now, we learn that Hu Can is also the protagonist's best friend, and that the two of them have been secretly hanging out together at the launch of the new game. Hu Can's mom won't even allow the two to hang out together, because she's suspicious of the relationship between the two, and she doesn't want to be associated with someone who's trying to ruin her son's life. In fact, Hu Can tells us that he's just trying to find out if he can figure out a way to get to know her better.
