Chapter 365 - Password

At the same time, Armando drove Noah's car. Noah sat in the back seat with Ferne's head on his lap. Ferne was the kind of person who would not wake up if he did not have enough sleep, unless there was an emergency.

The five-fingered mark on his face was so eye-catching that Noah couldn't help but ask, "Who slapped him?"

Armando looked at the rearview mirror and said, "Janessa."

"Oh." Noah stopped asking.

The phone in Ferne's pocket kept buzzing. Noah took out his phone and unlocked it.

Armando saw it and asked, "Do you know his password?"

Noah nodded.

Armando himself was a quiet person. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to speak today. "His wife doesn't even know his password."

Noah was shocked.

What did he mean?

"Be nice to him." Armando warned again.

Noah finally understood. He looked into the eyes reflected in the rearview mirror and said indifferently, "You misunderstood."

Armando took a turn. "Forget it."

The atmosphere fell silent.

Noah grabbed Ferne's phone and saw messages popping up one after another on WeChat.

Randy: Ferne! Are you awake?! Help me!

Randy: Holy shit! I was crazy! I asked a stupid question!

Randy: I'm finished!

Randy: Are you alive? Answer me!

Noah typed, "Oh."

Randy: ...

Randy: Since when did you discover that you like men?

Noah stared at the line of words on the interface. After a long time, he realized that his wrist was pinched white due to excessive strength on it.

Randy: Don't deny it! I know you like Noah! Did you two make out last night so you can't get up today? This is what Armando is like, you two beasts!

Noah turned off his phone and didn't look again.

On his lap, Ferne was sleeping restlessly. Perhaps because the car was moving and he was always about to fall down. Noah had to hug his head.

Ferne was still like what Noah saw when he woke up in the morning.

Ferne's entire body lay on his. He treated Noah like a pillow.

Noah was a very vigilant person, but he didn't remember when Ferne got on his bed.

Whatever the reason was, Noah chose to gently put him down instead of pushing him away.

When they were halfway on the trip, Ferne finally opened his eyes with discomfort. Then, he sat sideways and looked at Noah with drowsy eyes. He asked, "I'm so hungry ... can I come to your house? I want to eat the dishes you cooked."

Noah said indifferently, "No, just drop me when we arrive. He will take you to the hotel."

He?

Ferne turned around and saw Armando sitting in the driver's seat. The fact was like a bucket of cold water splashing on his head and woke him up. Then he smiled and said, "I want to talk to you about the progress of yesterday's case. Forget it, you can come to the hotel and find me then."

"Contact me by phone." Noah said.

"Oh, that's fine." Ferne felt that it was strange and turned his head to look at Noah.

He wondered if it was an illusion, but why did he always feel that Noah was exceptionally cold today?

Because Armando was in front, it was improper for him to ask if it was about last night. He remembered that he went to the bathroom in the middle of the night but got on the wrong bed after coming back. And after that, he didn't want to get down.

As soon as he touched Noah's body, he thought of the kiss in the steaming room and their physical contact, and his heart beat wildly.

He pretended to be asleep till the morning because he had no guts to face Noah. He made it until now.

No matter what the reason was, he couldn't do it in front of Armando.

Ferne had always felt that he was an asexual because he was not interested in women or men. Only 1% of the people in this world were asexuals. In other words, there were more than 70 million people in this world who had no desire like him, and they were not interested in men or women at all.

He thought that his life would be like this. Perhaps one day, he wouldn't be able to hold on and might have a child with Lili. Of course, he was considering having an IVF baby and didn't want to develop a sexual relationship with her.

But then he met Noah.

The man who would conflict with him every time they met.

He faced Noah with jealousy and admiration because he had persisted for so many years in rescuing lost children, including those who had been abducted and trafficked.

But that kiss last night changed everything.

Ferne didn't know what was wrong with him. Everything was out of control. Although he was confused, he was very clear about what was going on.

He spent the whole night thinking about what had happened to him, and finally found an excuse for himself. It was all caused by Noah's kiss.

Avery's existence made him realize that his feelings for Noah were different. On the surface, he said that he wanted to help Noah find a better woman, but deep down, he expected him to say no.

He knew what this feeling was, but he was somewhat uneasy and terrified.

Although his friends had always joked that he was a gay, he smiled and didn't take it seriously because he wasn't. But now, when he really faced it, he realized that he was afraid.

If he really was a gay, what would his family think? What would his friends think?

What about Noah?

So was he?

What if he wasn't? That kiss was just a play to avoid being suspected by Nikhil.

He couldn't take it seriously.

The car stopped. Noah got off the car and waved his hand to them. Then, he walked into an alley with his suitcase.

Armando looked at Ferne, who had a bad expression, through the rearview mirror and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing."

Ferne's phone was buzzing non-stop. He turned on his phone irritably and saw that Randy had sent a series of WeChat messages and he even replied with an "Oh".

"..."

Suddenly, when he saw the messages sent by Randy, his expression immediately changed.

"When did you discover that you like men?"

"Don't deny it! I know you like Noah! Did you two make out last night so you can't get up today? This is what Armando is like, you two beasts!"

Armando wasn't interested in other people's text messages, and he was busy driving. How could he have time to take his phone and send WeChat messages? Only Noah was beside him, and only he knew the password, so the "Oh" was sent by Noah.

So Noah saw Randy's message.

He saw it.

So he responded with such indifference.

"What's wrong with you?" Armando's voice sounded.

Ferne was stunned, only to discover that they had arrived at the hotel garage. Armando opened the back door and was sitting beside him. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Ferne forced a smile.

Good, he thought. The only gay was himself.

That was good.

He could get back on track.

"Drive the car back. When the time comes ... you can contact him anyway. This is his car." Ferne inhaled and limped to the elevator with his suitcase.

When Ferne got to the lobby to take the elevator, many waitresses saw him and excitedly asked him if the Forest Hot Spring was good and if they could hold the annual celebration there.

Ferne perfunctorily agreed.

The waitresses cheerfully shouted out.

Of course, there were also some who noticed that Ferne was in a bad mood and hesitated. "Mr. Ferne, are you still having a cold treatment with your boyfriend?"

"..."

Ferne didn't know how to answer this question. He wasn't his boyfriend, and how could they have a cold treatment? What were they thinking all day?

The waitresses immediately began to chatter.

"Mr. Ferne, your boyfriend is really outstanding. You must get him back. Don't let anyone snatch him away!"

"That's right, that's right! His shape is superb! Our boys are asking for his contact information!"

"But how can they be a threat to you? They don't look good."

"Mr. Ferne, don't be discouraged. He must be yours. We all believe in you. You can do that!"

"..."

"You don't even need to work, do you?!" Ferne finished his lecture with a cold face and slowly walked forward while holding his waist. Finally, those waitresses noticed Ferne's weird look. They glanced at his waist and asked in unison, "Mr. Ferne, you had a good night?"

Ferne was irritated.

Just as he was about to curse, he saw the waitresses run away.

"..."

When he arrived, Ferne came out of the elevator with his luggage. He closed the door and put his suitcase away. Because his tailbone still hurt, he could not lie down but make himself prostrate.

He took a deep breath and then cursed, "Fuck."

'I swear! Hit me if you were a real man!'

His phone vibrated again, but this time, it was a call. "Fuck! Randy! How dare you send those messages! I will kill you, believe it or not! Fuck you! Scram!"

" ... Ferne." The sound on the phone trembled and a man asked, "There's been an update about the three people who died yesterday. How about I call you later?"

"..."

Ferne took a deep breath and said, "I was just joking. What, have you made progress? Alright, I am free now. Tell me, I'll take notes."

"Alright."
