"Let me make this clear in advance, you're helping me of your own free will. I'm not agreeing to anything else."
"Rest assured, Brother Lin, I won't force you anymore," Du Yuze replied.
"Do you really want to be my follower?" Lin Yifan asked, puzzled.
The other had been pestering him just to follow him and acknowledge him as his master; he was curious if that was truly the case.
"No, I just want to be your friend, Brother Lin!" Du Yuze replied.
He had his dignity and would never lower himself to flatter Lin Yifan or work slavishly for him.
"OK! If you help me today, we can be ordinary friends. How about that?"
Lin Yifan didn't want any followers because it was troublesome; being friends was precisely what he wanted.
"I've been waiting for those words, Brother Lin!"
Everything Du Yuze did was to get close to Lin Yifan and gain his trust.
