Hanging out with the Wu, causes firestorms of fans. It’s great when they’re so obvious. They’ll follow him into a shop and pretend to be looking around, they’ll snap photos in the most obvious way, they’ll go nuts full knowing that it’s annoying, yet, they’re the true fans who’ll be there day or night.
