Mr. Guan sat on the sofa and listened to the chatter of the women around him with a smile on his face. He nodded from time to time as if he was listening intently to everything. In fact, their chatter went up and down and brushed past his ears like the wind, leaving no traces behind.
He was actually very impatient with this kind of tea party, not to mention the fact that he was in Elizabeth's house and had to endure her nagging. But he had no choice, Jessica was here.
Even with the help of the character manual, it was hard for him to accept Jessica's appearance. He could stare at her with love and admiration for two minutes, but he couldn't go any further. He had to look at someone else, like Pink, to give himself a break. When Jessica and Li Er went to the bathroom together, he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
"Do something that means a lot to Jessica, something that makes her happy."
This was Mr. Guan's goal in the game, which meant that he would always be around Jessica.
Fortunately, although Jessica's appearance was hard to get into, she was very easygoing and easy to talk to. When Mr. Guan tried to find something to talk to her, she was always very patient. If one didn't look at her face, being with her was like a spring breeze.
"You're back." When Jessica's short and thick shadow appeared in the living room, he immediately became alert. He quickly moved the pillow away to make room for Jessica and Li Er. He asked, "Do you want something to drink? I'll get it for you. "Elizabeth set up a small table in the corner of the living room and placed a lot of drinks on it.
"What do you want to drink?" Jessica immediately turned to Li Er and asked.
Li Er pouted. She still had the same attitude as before, as if no one else was worthy of talking to her. From the beginning of the game, Mr. Guan did not like this girl at all. If he had to choose between her and jESSICA, he would still prefer jESSICA. He just didn't understand. Jessica was so gentle and kind. How did she become friends with Li Er? And they were always together? Moreover, the better outsiders treated jESSICA, the worse Li Er's attitude became. It was obvious that she was quite jealous of jESSICA.
"No," Li Er replied bluntly. "She's not even willing to use tea leaves. She even mixed the juice with water … She didn't even have a biscuit. She drank so much water that she had to run to the toilet. I don't want it."
JESSICA smiled apologetically at Mr. Guan, "I'm not thirsty, thank you."
Then he would not go, and he was too lazy to drink Elizabeth's watered fruit juice.
Speaking of which, the target of the character Y'lisabet was like a black fly on a white wall, which could be seen clearly at a glance. Ever since everyone sat down, she had been trying to tell stories about her past dealings with ghosts. Every single one of them involved her own supernatural powers. If she didn't make them up, Mr. Guan was willing to cut off his head and give it to her.
Unfortunately, everyone politely responded to her attempt. Not many people even stood up to look at the doll. It wasn't that they wanted to make things difficult for Y'lisabet. If they didn't believe it, then they didn't believe it. Even if they pretended to believe it, it wouldn't help Y'lisabet's goal.
On the other hand, the mentally unstable Yan Huang pulled Y'lisabet into the kitchen the moment she came out from the corridor and closed the door. Nobody knew what they were talking about. The reason why Mr. Guan noticed Yan Huang, who wasn't even on his radar, was because jESSICA was watching her walk into the kitchen.
"Say, did she hear it?" jESSICA whispered to Li Er after the door closed.
Mr. Guan immediately moved closer. He didn't want to miss a single word that jESSICA said.
"If she heard it, then she heard it." Li Er moved to the other side of the sofa and leaned on the armrest, as if she didn't want jESSICA to get too close. "Her husband didn't hide anything. She probably already knew."
JESSICA didn't seem to realize that her best friend actually didn't like her. She moved closer to Li Er again, closing the distance. "I hope we didn't make her sad or angry … She looked terrible when she came out."
"What happened?" Mr. Guan hurriedly asked, "Do you need my help?"
Li Er quietly rolled her eyes, probably thinking that no one saw it.
"No, when we were talking outside the bathroom, we didn't know that the person inside was Goldie. In the end, she might have heard it." JESSICA was a little embarrassed and explained, "I didn't say anything behind her back. We were just worried about her."
"You have such a good temper, of course you would be worried." Mr. Guan comforted her. Goldie and her mental problems were as far away as the sand on another planet. If jESSICA didn't speak up, he probably wouldn't even remember who Goldie was until the end of the game. "She will definitely understand you, don't worry."
"Thank you." jESSICA sighed and said, "I hope she will get better."
She didn't know what the host was doing, and her story, tea, and service were so simple that they couldn't keep anyone. Soon, some people couldn't sit still and got up to leave. Of course, jESSICA didn't have any reason to stay. After discussing with Li Er for a while, they decided to leave. Mr. Guan was a little anxious.
'Something that means a lot to jESSICA, something that makes her happy', other than helping her achieve her goal in the game, was there any better choice? But the characters couldn't communicate with each other about their goals. He originally thought that he could use the tea party to ask for clues and try to guess jESSICA's goal in the game, but before he could get to the main topic, they decided to go back to the small world that only two university students could enter.
Then wouldn't he be locked out again, unable to do anything?
"Right." While he was anxious, he suddenly remembered Li Er's words. "Didn't you just say that you wanted some snacks? Why don't you come to my place and try the cakes and cookies I bake? I promise I will make good tea and drinks for you. "
The two girls looked at each other. "Mr. Guan," jESSICA said with a smile, "You also know how to bake cakes?"
This was a chance for him to improve his impression in front of jESSICA. He smiled and replied, "I often bring my own baked snacks to students whose homes are too far away to make it to breakfast. It's the holidays now. If you don't come to eat, I'm afraid I'll be rusty when school reopens. Come on, do me a favor. "
The good thing was that jESSICA really agreed; the bad thing was that Li Er naturally had to come along.
When everyone stood up to say goodbye to Y 'lisabet, Mr. Guan looked at the sofa cushion that jESSICA had just sat on. The cotton fabric was wrinkled from sitting there, leaving a semicircular dent in it, leaving the shape of her buttocks. Even without touching it, he knew that the shallow dent on the sofa cushion must still be jESSICA's warm body temperature.
When the three of them left, Y 'lisabet and Goldie had already gone back to the kitchen. The latter was the only one who didn't leave. JESSICA was the last to leave. Just as she was about to close the door, she suddenly exclaimed.
"Excuse me, wait for me." She smiled at the two people outside the door and said, "I think I left my hair clip."
Without waiting for the two to respond, she turned around and entered the house, closing the door on her way. Mr. Guan and Li Er looked at each other for a few seconds. They both felt that each other was disgusting. Instead of standing there foolishly, he might as well go in and help jESSICA find her hair clip. At least he could have some time alone.
After all, it was someone else's house and he was a guest. It wasn't good to keep the door open and closed. Mr. Guan twisted the doorknob lightly, trying not to make any noise. Through the gap of the opened door, his gaze fell into the living room one step ahead of his feet.
Y 'lisabet and Li Er were still in the kitchen, while jESSICA was kneeling on the floor of the living room.
She buried her face deep into the sofa cushion that Li Er had sat on and took a deep breath.
