After entering the hotpot restaurant, the owner at the cashier's desk stretched out his neck and saw a large group of people arrive. He asked, "How many are you?"
"Nine, do you have a private room?" Randy casually looked around and landed his gaze on the boss, "We want a private room."
"Yes, we have! Let's go to the second floor!" The boss called a waiter to lead the way and sat back on the chair himself. Randy noticed that he was watching a replay of the news on his computer about the incident at the GY Temple. Randy followed behind the waiter after a quick glance.
The facilities in the large private room were not bad. The group of people sat down and started flipping through the menu. Someone was asking and someone was writing. But most of the questions were about Lord Top's preferences.
The mixed pot soup was quickly served. The waiter poured everyone a cup of refreshment tea politely, and then waited at table behind.
Randy had nothing to do and was playing on his phone for a while. He sent a few messages in the WeChat group. Jaquan had said that he wouldn't go, so Randy was persuading him.
But Jaquan didn't reply any more.
Then Ferne began chatting with him. When Randy raised his head again, the soup was boiling. Two of the team members were more attentive than the waiter. One was in charge of putting dishes into the pot, the other was scooping out duck blood and duck tongue for Lord Top with a big spoon. The two of them worked together at two sides of the Lord Top and were quite harmonious. Other members who were far from Lord Top were searching duck tongue in the soup with chopsticks. Every time they found some, they would screamed out, "It's a duck tongue. Lord Top, here you are!" And then they put it in his bowl.
Randy couldn't help but wonder why they didn't ask him since he also liked duck tongue.
Was this the benefit of playing well in a match?
Randy knocked on the side of the bowl with his chopsticks unhappily, "Finish your own meal. He has sound hands and can eat on his own."
After Randy's reminder, Lord Top seemed to realize something and looked at Wink and Urchin beside him. They were awkwardly retracting their hands back.
Lord Top then took a spoonful of soup and poured it into Wink's bowl, and then another spoonful into Urchin's bowl, probably for their taking care of him.
...
After exchanging glances, Wink and Urchin couldn't help but swallow. Then, they picked up a piece of scarlet mutton from the bowl and ate it.
Half a second later, the two of them shed tears at the same time. 'Why was it so spicy?'
They silently drank the warm refreshment tea and still felt the burning lips.
Lord Top took out the last duck tongue from the pot and was about to put it into her bowl when a pair of chopsticks took it halfway.
"Seven out of Eight duck tongues went to your stomach. I should have the last." Randy, who said this took a shameless bite of the duck tongue and raised his eyebrows at Lord Top.
Lord Top wasn't angry. She nodded because she did realize that she had eaten too much, so she silently fished for something else from the pot. However, just as she had taken out something, Randy would snatch it in the next second and ate.
Lord Top glanced at Randy, then picked up a piece of vegetable and a piece of potato. Before Randy made a move to take the food, Lord Top directly stood up and put it into Randy's bowl.
Randy was stunned.
"Don't you want this?" Lord stood there and kept putting food in his bowl, "Then enjoy."
The hot pot was hard to digest, Randy couldn't consume too much spicy food. However, everything he took from Lord Top was super spicy. Now he felt his stomach was burning. But he tensed up his expression to hide this. What made him even angrier was that the team members ordered one more dish of duck tongues and were determined to protect it from being snatched away by him. They were united like a group of revolutionaries, and they shot daggers at him as if they were looking at a traitor.
Damn it!
Not long after, Urchin leaving for the bathroom and returned with two cups of milk tea in his hand. He handed one cup to Lord Top and one cup to Randy.
"What do you mean?" Randy never liked milk tea. Urchin couldn't have bought this specially for him. He must buy this for Lord Top.
"There is a milk tea shop downstairs. I bought one since Lord Top, nope, Captain likes milk tea. And I got one for Lord Top as well."
Randy was pissed off. 'You could have chosen not to say.'
The milk tea had red beans in it. Randy drank two mouthfuls of milk tea and felt it was too sweet. He put it aside and went downstairs to pay the bill and buy a bottle of mineral water at the time.
The boss gave him some change and pointed at the water, "Free water for you."
Randy waved his hand and then took the water to the tree at the door. His lips were a little hot, and he only felt a relief after drinking a few large mouthfuls of water.
Randy raised his head and saw a pair of lovers kissing under the dim street lamp. He frowned and continued to gulp down a mouthful of water. Suddenly, he noticed something and coughed out some water out of surprise.
Gay?!
The team members came out one after another. Randy had wiped his mouth and tossed the bottle into the trash can.
Maybe it was because he just witnessed the love between two men, Randy couldn't look at what was happening in front him in a right way.
Lord Top led the way, with Wink and Urchin standing beside them. They asked about if Lord Top felt cold and took off their jackets, intending to give it to Lord Top. Lord Top shook her head and they had to put the jackets back on.
Randy was shocked. The two were obviously cold themselves and they still wanted to give their clothes out.
Lord Top had finished drinking the milk tea and was about to throw it away. Urchin directly reached out and took the trash. He quickly ran away and threw the cup into the garbage bin. He acted as if he was some boy at his first date.
Wait a minute.
Randy suddenly stopped. He recalled what he had just seen. And when he refocused on Lord Top, Wink, and Urchin, his eyes were changed. Could it be possible?
