"Haha! Justin, you're really something else!" Rain was still laughing with reckless abandon. Looking at Edward, who was at a loss for words, he never felt this amused and happy. Edward must be quite helpless and sulky after hearing his own son talking about him like that!
"Uncle Rain, why are you laughing? Am I wrong?" The little guy looked very confused. He tilted his head, thinking about what he said just now that could make Rain laugh so merrily. Was what he said not right?
"No! You are definitely right, Justin. Your daddy is bold and impudent, true. But as to his personality... Well, Justin, I won't say that he has a good personality, you know? After all, have you ever seen a man who has no shame but has a good personality?" The smile on Rain's face hadn't disappeared. He didn't have his own family, so only in Edward's house could he feel the warmth of home.
Rain, you're going to get your ass kicked." Edward had already felt very helpless about what Justin said, and was at a loss for words. Now, he let loose on Rain. He glared at him sideways, eyes full of coldness. Rain was in for it now.
"Damn it, Edward. Why am I the one always getting kicked? I didn't say anything! That was all Justin!" Rain said, his mouth crumpled, feeling quite misrepresented. He knew he would never get the upper hand when facing Edward.
Rain, You know exactly the reason why you're the one. So don't ask. Just know you're screwed." Tom curled his lips, and he glanced at Rain with disdain. He shook his head. Why couldn't Rain just understand that he was never going to win against Edward? This kind of situation happened a lot, and Rain just wouldn't learn his lesson. After all, Edward was their boss. Nobody would ever have the upper hand over their boss. That was just the way it was.
Well, it couldn't hurt to try, right? But again, why are you here, Tom? We're all on holiday here, but you are a doctor. Shouldn't you be in the hospital now? Aren't there any patients during the holiday?" Rain asked curiously, but the look on his face showed a message of defiance. He was annoyed at what Tom said, and wasn't going to take it lying down.
I'm not the only doctor at Renxin Hospital, much less the whole city. If you think that, then you're an idiot. Sometimes, Rain..." The corner of Tom's mouth twitched. In his eyes, Rain didn't seem to be that slow. Why he always asked these dumb questions remained a mystery to him. He shook his head.
"Of course not! But I think you are the backbone of the hospital. So you should be in the hospital now and helping others, instead of lazing around. Set a good example for your colleagues." Rain lazily sat on the chair, leaning against the back of the chair. It seemed like his habit. Whenever he sat on something, he always sat like this. He was indeed a lazybones.
"So you mean that as the backbone of the hospital, I shouldn't rest at all, even on the holidays, right? But don't forget what time it is now." Tom was getting angrier and angrier after hearing Rain's words. What did he really want to say? He was acting all selfish right now. Well, he could easily take a day off, but he couldn't stand others having a holiday too? That was just wrong.
"It's now 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I believe it's still working time. Am I right?" Tom was never going to win when he bantered with Rain. So he was always the one being teased and mocked in their small group, because it was the same when he was in a friendly banter with Edward. He had never gotten the upper hand at all. Ever. And he wouldn't, either.
"Today is National Day! I deserve at least half a day to relax, okay?" Tom was almost at a loss for words right now. He really didn't know what to say to Rain anymore. So he didn't look at him either. Instead, he turned his head and looked back at the white chess pieces in front of him. His rival was Jonathan. Much to Tom's surprise, Jonathan didn't even say a word when they were busy bantering and joking around. He just silently sat there, patiently waiting for him.
Ha! It seems that I'm the most pathetic guy here. If I want a day off, I'll have to ask someone and see if he lets me." Rain looked very unhappy, and he glanced at Edward, who was sitting beside him. But Edward, being his normal cold self, didn't give a damn about Rain's state of mind. He didn't even glance at Rain, not to mention reply to his words. Rain was dramatic as usual.
Uncle Rain, why do you think you're pathetic? You are not! If anyone's pathetic, it would be my daddy. He's got an employee as useless as you. He must be so tired!" Justin dropped his chin onto his hands, and looked at Rain with innocent eyes. Rain couldn't even believe that this little guy would insult him this way. And he always pulled off the innocent look when he said something particularly offensive. Rain was tired of his crap.
Son, you have pretty much laid out my life with employees like Rain. Come here, daddy wants to kiss you." Edward raised one of his eyebrows and looked at Rain triumphantly. Then he lowered his head and kissed Justin's cute face. Anyone could tell from his pleasant look that he was quite proud of his little son.
Thank you, daddy. I want to give you a kiss too!" After saying these words, Justin stood up, leaned towards his father, then also gave him a solid kiss on his cheek. The two of them were being all cheesy towards each other. But they were also sharing a laugh at Rain's expense.
"Ewww! Stop being gross, will you? There are still people here, okay? I just can't stand you two!" Rain made a gagging sound. Though he acted like he was grossed out by their display of affection, deep in his heart, he felt touched. He was happy for them, and at the same time, he had to admit that he was a little bit jealous too. Thinking of himself, he wondered when he would have this kind of happiness. "
Well, you are just jealous, that's all. It's your own fault that you let Annie go. Now the only thing you can feel is regret." In Edward's eyes, Annie was a good girl. Though at first she was a bit too restless for his liking, she became quite mature and calm as time went by. She was indeed quite lovely. He couldn't understand why Rain was so picky about her. And look how it turned out now. Was this what Rain truly wanted? Definitely not! But now, there was nothing he could do but admit his own mistake and go on with his life.
"What a dick! Why are you bringing up this now Edward? It's a holiday, give me a break for once, will you? Thanks a lot for making me feel sad and lonely!" Rain's face echoed the sadness inflicted by the cruel fact that Edward had mentioned. There was no trace of delight left on his beautiful face. It looked like that no matter how time passed, Annie would always be the 'sting' in his heart that he could never let go.
It was just a friendly reminder. In case you stupidly let go of her the next time. If there is a next time. I still can't understand why you did such a dumbass thing anyway. What were you thinking?" Ever since Edward got back together with Daisy, he put many things in perspective, and finally gained the love he always wanted. Now, he lived life to the fullest, and his life was wonderful. For the first time in his life, he felt truly happy about everything he had. So he couldn't help but want the same happiness for his friends. He hoped that they all found true love and could be happy just like him.
