Janessa returned to the Mosby's yesterday. After packing her luggage, she said goodbye to the family and took a taxi to the airport the next day.
When Armando found out, the plane had already taken off.
Among the Mosbies, he was the last to know about this.
He returned to Peace Road. The young couple in the shop saw him and asked with a smile, "Boss, did you have a good time?"
He had said that he wanted to go to the Forest Hot Spring with his friends. Since he had been staying in his house for the past few days, instead of coming to the shop, the couple thought that he had just returned from the Forest Hot Spring.
Armando didn't say anything and went upstairs. Emitting a gloomy aura, flat-topped and expressionless, he could pass himself off as a gangster.
The couple looked at each other and wondered what had happened to their boss.
Before they could ask, their boss came downstairs with a bag in his hand. He took a thermos bottle from the table, poured some water in it, put it inside the bag, and walked out without turning his head.
The couple ran after him and asked, "Boss! Are you going on a trip? When are you coming back?"
Armando paused. "I don't know."
"What? You don't know? Then where are you going?"
"I don't know."
The couple was confused.
Why they were in a daze, Armando walked on and left. He took a taxi to the airport and bought the last flight to Shanghai, where he would transfer to Tibet. Then, he sat in the waiting hall and took out a black notebook from his backpack. On the first page of the notebook was recorded every place Janessa had traveled. Her first stop was Tibet.
When he received the call from Randy, Armando was at the boarding gate.
Randy couldn't keep what he had just found out to himself, so he first contacted Armando to complain.
"You know what? That bastard Jaquan ... He already has a son ... Does he ever think about Ferne? Ferne has been married for so long, but he doesn't even have a child. Jaquan, however..." Seeming to have noticed something, he paused for a moment and asked, "Where are you? Why did I hear the announcement at the airport?"
"Yes." Armando replied, "I'm at the airport. The plane is about to take off. Tell them that I might not be on WeChat often in the future. Don't look for me."
Randy was confused. "Did something happen?"
Walking in the passageway, Armando turned around and looked at the hall. There were a lot of people coming and going. The crowd was always like this. Similar to sardines, they filled every corner. He was the only one standing there alone.
"Janessa is gone." With the notebook in his hand, he strode forward. For the first time, his voice was full of determination as he continued, "This time, I don't want to be left behind."
Randy said slowly, "I wish you all the best."
Armando said, "Say congratulations to Jaquan for me. I will bring the gift."
"Alright."
Before hanging up, Randy suddenly said, "Very good. Don't hesitate. If you two can be together, we will all be happy for you."
"Thank you."
The phone call was ended.
Randy stared at the screen and suddenly sighed for no reason. It was as if he had never known that so many people around him would give everything they had for love.
He used to think that only fools liked to fall in love. Games were fun. Who needed a romantic relationship? Every relationship had problems. Then the two lovers would fight. They would break up and drown the sorrows in drinks. All of this was instilled into him by Jaquan. Year after year, he had watched Jaquan flatter Arabella. Therefore, he thought all women were like her. For a period of time, he hated the real world and became obsessed with the virtual world.
He used to think virtual characters were the best. They had the sweetest voice, the fairest skin and the best figure. Although he couldn't touch them, they could always stay by his side.
Randy did not feel that he lacked anything. He once felt that he led a full life. If he felt otherwise, then he must haven't played enough games.
Only when Lord Top appeared did he realize that he was also biased. Strangely enough, the two of them had almost fought each other at the beginning, but unknowingly, Randy had suddenly become particularly biased for him.
Was it because Lord Top was a wonderful game player?
Perhaps Randy liked his personality. In short, after spending a lot of time together with him, Randy found him very appealing.
He had led many teams. This was the first time he had such an idea of being better for a player like Lord Top. He had recklessly defined it as "like." Although he didn't know if he needed to prove it, he followed his heart and went for it. However, Lord Top didn't seem to have received his message. Randy sighed helplessly.
He knew being gay was hard, but he never expected it to be this hard.
Lord Top turned away and sneezed while playing the game.
The team members beside him were anxious.
"Did you catch a cold?"
"It seems so!"
"Who has medicine?"
"I'll go get it from Captain Randy!"
"Are you cold? Turn the air conditioner up!"
When Randy returned, he saw that Lord Top was surrounded by people. He frowned and demanded, "What's the ruckus? Sit down!"
"Lord Top seems to have caught a cold," someone said boldly.
"Really? Come with me. I have a thermometer," Randy said as he looked at Lord Top.
Lord Top put down his headphones and followed behind him. He heard one of his teammates speak.
"What does a cold have to do with a thermometer?"
Everyone else had questions as well, but no one dared to ask.
Lord Top followed behind Randy into his room. This was an anime nut's room. Almost everything he saw from the moment he stepped into the room was a picture of an anime poster.
"Sit," Randy said concisely. Then, he fetched a medicine chest and took out a thermometer. After thinking for a while, he asked, "How are you feeling?"
Then he discovered that Lord Top was sitting on his chair, blocking the girl's cartoon on the chair.
"Why are you sitting there?"
This chair was a taboo for Randy. Almost no one dared to sit on it. One could sleep on his bed, but no one could sit on the chair.
However, Randy's mood was different than before when he saw Lord Top sitting on the chair. It wasn't that he didn't like it, but...
Lord Top looked around in confusion. "Where else can I sit?"
"The chair is cold. Go sit on the bed," Randy said.
Lord Top was surprised.
Confused by Randy's friendliness, she stared at Randy, agape, but said anything, nor did she move.
Randy finally found the medicine and poured a glass of water. "Take this and lie here to sleep."
The team members had four rooms, each with two beds, and his bed was by the window.
Lord Top probably noticed that something was wrong, so she took the medicine and turned around to leave. "No need. I'll go back to the dormitory."
Randy never used other people's glasses and never touched other people's beds.
Randy was thinking to let Lord Top drink water from his own glass. This was the first step of intimate contact, but he was rejected. At that moment, he felt as if a beast was spitting at him disdainfully.
Lord Top took the medicine and went out, then looked back with a strange expression.
In the room, Randy was frowning as he stared at the chair Lord Top had just sat on, deep in thought.
