Wan Mo felt like he could still fix this, they were just hurt by his deceit.
"Zong Yi, Zong Xi, you know how my family is; Before I understood Pinyin characters I was dolled up by my mom to pose as a girl, it's my fault for deceiving you guys; it's my fault for not trusting you guys enough to tell you about my situation, I'm so sorry, I understand that you're mad at me, but you guys are important to me too, you're my friends, I'm so sorry". Wan Mo was remorseful and extremely sad, his voice was low, worry clouded his face.
His eyes filled with regret.
Zong Xi pointed at the camera they had set up.
"That is enough proof, Wan Mo you don't understand, we don't want to see you, your sight alone disgust me. All those years, you followed Queen, Ah-Jiu and me to the changing rooms, to school toilets, you are a pervert!. I can never trust you".
Wan Mo was quite surprised by that logic, he had always refused to follow them to changing rooms, even when they dragged him along, he would go to a side and stare at his fingers like it's interesting. He had never looked at them funny or thought anything stupid, he had a sincere friendship with them.
He always tried to engage with his only male friend, Zong Yi more, but later gave up because Zong Yi had a firm wall around him, the guy always blushed hard and ran away, leaving Wan Mo blinking listlessly.
Wan Mo shook his head " No, that's not true, Zong Xi i-"
He was cut short by Zong Xi "you..a liar, calling me a liar" she scoffed.
" Sign this and leave right now, I don't want to see you around my sister " Zong Yi spoke.
Wan Mo understood now, they hated him, he doesn't have a second chance.
" Moonlight, my fam-"
"I don't want to have anything to do with you or moonlight anymore, I don't care what happens to you from now on. We won't get involved in your life as long as You don't collect a dime from us; and I want my shares in the company transferred to me"
Wan Mo signed the deed of release "I'm sorry, and I hope you guys can forgive me", Wan Mo said his piece and left.
Wan Mo on Heroes eSports game was an anonymous player, player " callmemother".
The same person that killed Han Jiuran in a game twice, a few years ago for the first time in Jiuran's gaming history.
Wan Mo and Zong Yi drafted a plan together.
Wan Mo would set standards for recruitment, coach the players and cover the team's expenses.
Zong Yi acted as the manager, he was in charge of registering for tournaments and managing team travel.
He also prevented public standards. Their little team eventually grew into an eSports company.
If Zong Yi leaves, he's automatically creating a big hole In the company and since the company's value is tied up in player contracts, training facilities, and branding, Wan Mo didn't immediately have the liquid cash to just pay him off.
Wan Mo had to pay from his savings.
The money he had been saving for his 'escape plan' when everything ends; the money he was saving for his plans of relocating and starting new as just him.
He didn't dare touch anything from golden heritage, it didn't rightfully belong to him.
Since it's the months to exams, his team didn't have any tournament coming up, but losing Zong Yi was still a big problem. He is in fact important to the company.
Wan Mo went home and he was deeply troubled.
He saw a car he knew all too well; he stopped short and frowned deeply; he had to enter his car, open his car seats and put on a breast plate. He wore his clothes back, let down his hair and applied lipgloss.
He entered the living room, Wan Mo was too tired, mentally and emotionally, he couldn't smile.
"Jiuran, you are here". Jiuran responded with an "En".
"You look.. tired and pale" Jiuran commented.
"It's the upcoming exam, so I'm nervous" Wan Mo responded smoothly.
Han Jiuran gave encouraging words but deep in his heart he knew that was not it, Wan Mo was never scared of an exam, though Gaokao was important and more harder, Wan Mo is intelligent too, and she didn't even have any lessons today, she went somewhere. His curiosity piqued.
"Say.. why're you here today?" Wan Mo asked.
Han Jiuran looked at her and replied "I just came to check on you; And to also clear up certain..things, do you know Felix Anderson?".
Wan Mo's eyes widened a fraction before he could stop it, his heartbeat accelerated, he looked at Jiuran " no...why?", Wan Mo studied Jiuran's expression and reaction, Jiuran gave an upside down grin, " I should let you rest, you look tired".
Jiuran said his piece and left.
Wan Mo stood in the living room for what felt like 30 minutes, he was confused and scared, he sat down on the sofa. There is no doubt about it, Jiuran knows something, maybe more than San Yi Han? More than the Zong twins?? How...did Jiuran come about Felix Anderson?, did Jiuran know about his identity? How? When? Jiuran is definitely testing him right?
Wan Mo's thoughts were disarrayed, he couldn't think straight.
