Exposing the Charade of Deep Affection - Season 3 Episode 6

He stepped out of the private room and walked a few steps before he suddenly stopped. I looked at

him in confusion, thinking he had forgotten something, and couldn’t help but ask, “Did you forget

something?”

He paused for a few seconds before saying, “Wait for me here, I’m going to the restroom.” After saying

this, he lifted his leg and began to walk away.

He took a few steps and it suddenly dawned on me that he might be drunk, because the restroom was

not in the direction he was heading. I quickly ran up to stop him.

Held back by me, he looked down at me, somewhat puzzled, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Seeing him looking no different than usual, I said, “The bathroom is not over there.”

He seemed to have just realized, slightly nodding his head and uttering a hum before walking off in

another direction. But it still wasn’t right. I grabbed him, very certain that this man was drunk.

I led him towards the direction of the bathroom. When we reached the bathroom door, I raised my hand

and pointed towards the men’s room, telling him to go.

He remained still, looking at me, “Aren’t you coming with me?”

After a moment of silence, I shook my head, “I don’t want to go, you

go.”

His handsome brows furrowed slightly as he said, “Then I won’t go either.”

Me???

Suppressing my temper, I said, “Didn’t you want to go to the bathroom?”

He lowered his gaze, seemingly contemplating whether he wanted to go or not. After a while, he

suddenly spoke, his voice as usual, “Then you wait here for me, don’t run around.’

I nodded, watching his retreating figure, couldn’t help but mutter to myself, was he drunk now? Or not?

The flow of people outside the restroom door was constant, and I was always the subject of someone’s

gaze as I stood guard. Eventually, I decided to wait in the nearby corridor.

As I was staring blankly at the tips of my shoes, two people appeared in front of me. I looked up and

saw Sebastian and Daniel, both of them. were looking at me.

Sebastian was the first to speak, “Why are you here? Waiting for someone?”

I nodded, looked at him, then at Daniel in the wheelchair, “You guys…”

“Get some fresh air.” These words were spoken by Daniel. He was wearing a mask and a duckbill cap.

I didn’t feel comfortable staring at him, but I unintentionally met his eyes. I always thought his eyes

were beautiful, as if I had seen them before, but I just couldn’t quite remember.

I smiled and pointed towards the bathroom, saying, “I’m waiting for

someone.

Sebastian gave a faint smile, “Waiting at the bathroom door? Did the other person get drunk?”

I paused, saying, “A little.

While chatting with him, I began to realize that Walter had been in there for quite a while. I couldn’t help

but glance at the restroom more than a few times. There were quite a few people going in and out, but

there was no sign of Walter.

Upon seeing this, Daniel asked, “Do you need help?”

Looking at him, I felt a bit embarrassed, “Is it okay?”

Daniel glanced at Sebastian, who was looking at me and said, “You and Daniel wait here for me, I’ll go

check.” After saying that, he went into the restroom.

In the corridor, Daniel and I were not familiar with each other, but it wasn’t right to just stand there in

silence. I took the initiative to speak up, looking at him and saying, “Sebastian mentioned that you had

a car accident before, were you seriously injured?”

Actually, my question was a bit like stating the obvious. The person was already in a wheelchair, how

could it not be serious? But I’m not good with words, and couldn’t think of anything else to say at the

moment, so I just blurted it out.

He didn’t seem angry, instead, he gave a slight smile, his eyes and eyebrows curving attractively, “It’s

not serious, at least my life was saved.”

Eh, that’s true.

I smiled and asked, “Are you feeling better now?”

He looked at me, his facial expression unreadable, only the slight curve at the corner of his eyes

visible, “Much better.”

This back-and-forth seemed even more awkward than not talking at all. I nodded, beating around the

bush, “I’m really sorry about last time. I didn’t know you were in trouble, otherwise I wouldn’t have

rushed to invite you to dinner.

He chuckled, “No problem, I’m very happy to have dinner with you.

Huh!

I felt somewhat at a loss for words, forcing a smile. I couldn’t help but glance again in the direction of

the restroom.

Seeing me like this, Daniel spoke, “Were you very worried about your friend?”

I nodded, saying, “He drank a lot of alcohol tonight.

He hummed in agreement, “It seems you care a lot about this friend of

yours.
