Chapter 356 - Embarrassment

**

Jaquan stood at the door of Emma's room for a long time, but it never opened. Stony wanted to open the door, but was stopped by Emma. This was the first time Stony had seen her so angry. He was so scared that he didn't dare to open the door again. He obediently washed up and prepared to sleep.

Emma wiped her body dry in the bathroom and then changed the sweater. Holding the sweater in her hand, she opened the door and saw that Jaquan was still standing there. She threw the sweater to him and wanted to close the door.

"Wait a moment!" Jaquan propped his hand on the door and said, "I'm sorry for what I said today. I apologize. Don't be angry, okay?"

Emma ignored him.

They hadn't interacted much in the pool today. Jaquan didn't want to expose their relationship. This would embarrass Emma. He knew it. So he had been waiting for a chance to talk to her.

However, Emma didn't even want to see him.

They would be separated tomorrow, so it would be difficult to see her then.

"Give me some time, OK?" He asked.

Emma frowned and said, "No need. We have nothing to do with each other."

Jaquan took a deep breath and said, "Yes, my feelings for you are my own business. It has nothing to do with you. But you can't refuse my concern for you as a friend. Also, you can't stop Stony from liking me."

"He doesn't like you." Emma corrected him.

Jaquan deliberately contradicted her, "Yes, he does!"

"No, he doesn't!" Emma emphasized, as if referring to them two.

Jaquan knew that what she really wanted to say was "I don't like you".

Both of them were tacitly shouting their own thoughts, "Yes, he does!"

Suddenly, Stony ran to the door and said in a tender voice, "Mom, I like Mr. Jaquan."

"..."

Jaquan raised his chin and said proudly, "See? He likes me."

"Then you can stay with him tonight." Emma closed the door.

Jaquan and Stony looked at each other, "..."

"Let's go to my place." Jaquan crouched down and coaxed Stony, "I've brought some interesting things for you."

Stony knew that Emma would open the door to call him in later, but he didn't want her to quarrel with Mr. Jaquan. After thinking for a while, he decided to go to Mr. Jaquan's apartment first. And when his mother came to call him, he would leave them space to eliminate the misunderstanding.

Thus, Stony followed Jaquan to leave.

Half a minute later, Emma opened the door and saw nobody.

She was surprised. She got out and looked at the corridor just to see Stony following Jaquan into the room.

"..."

Ferne and Noah waited for half an hour on Mount Titan in the cold wind and heard Branden and Nikhil having a conversation in English and Chinese.

"What are they doing?" Ferne rolled his eyes. "They didn't even go to high school, and now they're trying to talk in English. Idiots!"

Noah looked at him expressionlessly.

Ferne curled his lips and said, "Though I can only understand simple words, I suspect that even they can't understand each other."

Noah took his phone and typed, "They are worried that someone will be listening to their conversation, so they're deliberately speaking English. Nikhil has spoken three sentences in Japanese, in which he had mentioned numbers and places."

"You speak Japanese?" Ferne looked at him in surprise, "Holy crap!"

"..."

"They're leaving." Noah listened carefully for a moment, then stood up and said, "Let's go."

After waiting for a while, Noah didn't hear anything. He turned around and saw Ferne leaning against him, holding his phone high in the air. Their faces appeared on the phone screen. Before Noah could cover his face, Ferne had already taken a picture.

Ferne laughed as he looked at the phone. "Look at your expression ..."

"Delete it." Noah looked at Ferne unhappily.

"Really? Come on!"

"No." Noah said with a stern face.

"Alright. Look." Ferne opened the photo album and deleted it. "See? Done."

"And the backup," Noah said expressionlessly.

'Fuck!'

Ferne showed her phone to him, saying, "Fine. Happy?"

Noah glanced at it and saw a photo of Ferne's upper body. It had been taken when Ferne had hurried to toilet after being tied up by him all night.

For some reason, Ferne hadn't deleted it.

Ferne had already retracted his phone and muttered, "What a jerk! People are dreaming of the chance to take pictures with me? But you ..."

Noah turned around and left.

They went downstairs towards the sauna and went straight into the innermost room. Just as they took out the bug, they heard a sound coming from outside. It was Branden and Nikhil!

Noah glanced around and saw a watch on the table. It was probably Nikhil's watch, because Branden didn't wear a watch.

Ferne immediately laid down on the table and waved his hand at Noah, saying anxiously, "Come on!"

If Branden and Nikhil saw Ferne's face and went back to investigate, they would find out about Ferne's identity as a former policeman. So they must not see Ferne's face anyway.

Moreover, it didn't make sense that the private room would be occupied as soon as they had just left.

It was only logical that...

They had had experience and Noah immediately understood what Ferne meant. After thinking for a while, Noah took off his bathrobe and revealed his sturdy back. He pressed himself down on Ferne, grabbed Ferne's legs and placed them on his body. Then he lowered his head and pretended to kiss Ferne on the neck.

Although Noah didn't really kiss him, Ferne was still touched by Noah's aura. Ferne thought to himself, "Fuck, why did I just lie down? I should have been on the top."

But it had just turned out like that.

The door was finally opened. It fell silent for a moment. Branden and Nikhil seemed to be wondering why there were people in their private room.

Finally, Ferne felt that the people at the door had left and Noah had stood up.

The watch had also been taken away.

Ferne lay on the table, still trembling excitedly.

He was afraid that Noah would discover that, so he peeked at Noah. However, Noah was not looking at him and was frowning at his phone instead.

If Ferne came over, he would have noticed that Noah was staring at...

All Kinds of Delicious Food, the First One: stir-fry balsam pear.

After about ten minutes, they had almost finally down. Noah stood up, without looking at Ferne, and said, "Let's go out."

Ferne replied, "OK."

However, at the door, Noah paused for a moment before suddenly turning around and carrying Ferne up, "Cover your face."

Ferne immediately stopped struggling.

Ferne thought to himself, 'What the fuck!'

'Stop trembling!!!'

'This is too embarrassing!'

Noah carried him all the way to the hot pool, then threw him into the pool and went into another pool.

Ferne finally got free and buried his face in the water, saying, "Damn it! Damn it!"

Since Ferne had drowned himself in the water for a while and kept saying "Damn it" under the water, Noah could only see a series of bubbles coming up. So he rushed over to grab Ferne by the neck and lifted him up.

"Ferne!"

Ferne took a deep breath and said, "What's wrong?"

Noah looked at him confusedly, "You almost drowned."

"Is that so? Well, um ... Thank you, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have died. No, actually, I was fine. I was just ... thinking." Ferne wanted to slap himself. What the hell was he talking about? Why would he be like this?

"Are you sure?" Noah didn't seem to believe it.

"I'm really fine." Ferne smiled indifferently.

Noah asked hesitantly, "Is it because of that ...?"

"Oh! Look! What a beautiful moon!" Ferne suddenly interrupted him and exclaimed," Hurry up and take a picture! Holy shit, my phone is in the pool! Oh, thank god, it is waterproof ... Well, that was embarrassing!"

"...."
