Chapter 1217 I Said, Please!
Raelle find it a bit odd that Hyson hung up the call as soon as he said that he would. Even without telling why he called. Although most of the time his calls were for useless purposes, it didn't mean he never had a serious purpose. So, she was wondering what he was calling for this time.
As for why he didn't speak, either he was too hungry or he didn't just want to say anything when he realized that she wasn't alone. And she was more willing to believe that it was the second reason. After all, she still knew her best friend this much to understand that he could always skip a meal if it meant he gets to annoy her. So, when he chose food over her, it only meant she wasn't alone so he couldn't do the annoying.
"Did he just call to remind everyone about his existence?" asked Xiang Wai.
"He doesn't have to do so," replied Raelle. "If he is already on your mind when he is not even in the room, that means he doesn't need to remind you of anything. He's already between us."
As everyone was relishing in the aftertaste of the meal, Mu Chenyan stood up to announce, "Okay. So, we gathered here tonight for some important matters."
"Just sit down, Chenyan," said Grandfather Xiang. "No need to stand up to talk. You already have everyone's attention."
Mu Chenyan didn't feel embarrassed, she sat down calmly and told everyone, "So, first of all, we have a little guest here. Give him a big round of applause."
"It is necessary?" asked Raelle.
Mu Chenyan gave her a look, "Yes, my darling Elle. We must make him feel welcome here."
So, with everyone, Raelle also clapped for Justin, rather unwillingly.
Justin looked at everyone with his big eyes, seeing everyone's attention on himself and as they all gave him a round of applause, he felt a bit shy getting so much attention.
"How adorable! I want to pinch his cheeks!" said Xiang Wai.
"Keep your paws off of him," said Xiang Weimin.
"Ge!"
"What, Ge? I'm serious! With your pinch, will he be able to survive? Don't you have any self-knowledge regarding your strength?"
Xiang Wai gaped at him, "Ge, you dislike me now? You've changed. Oh my God! You have changed! I can't believe this."
"I don't see anything wrong with what he said though," commented Raelle and before Xiang Wai could say anything, she went on, "But my reasons are different. Whether your strength is good or bad, doesn't matter. He is a kid, not a toy for you to play with. So, you should keep your hands to yourself."
"I hate you both," said Xiang Wai as she crossed her arms in front of her chest and puffed up her cheeks.
"Both of you should stop finding faults with our Wai," said Grandfather Xiang. "There is nothing wrong with her. She is just a normal person with normal thoughts. Anyone who will see a cute kid on the road would wanna pinch their cheeks or poke their face which looks like steamed buns. There is nothing wrong with that."
"Are we wrong?" asked Xiang Weimin and Raelle simultaneously.
"No, it's just that your thought process is different from Wai..." 'Who happens to be the most normal person in this family.' But Grandfather Xiang didn't voice out his last thoughts.
Mu Chenyan cleared her throat and added, "Okay. Moving on. The next announcement is that Wai will be joining the Military Academy as an instructor!"
"Does that concern us?" asked Raelle.
"You as her sister should know about it," said Mu Chenyan.
"Oh." Then she looked at Xiang Wai, "Didn't you love your special Armed Forces?"
"I still do," answered Xiang Wai. "However, it doesn't allow me to have much time for myself and for the people around me. Thanks to you, I got suspended and realized the fun of being free."
"I'll take that thanks happily."
Xiang Wai smiled at her, "Anyway, so I decided to take the offer from the Military Academy. My old instructor had been asking me to join the Academy for years. And this time, I went around to see and decided to take on the offer."
"You really won't regret it," asked Xiang Hulin.
"Papa, you said life without regrets is not possible. You just gotta learn to live with those regrets. Besides, I can't always be stuck in one place. what I'm about to do isn't much different. I'll still have to take new recruits to some deserted island for hellish training or something. I want to have some fun."
"Some people want to be superheroes and some will become villains."
"What does that mean?" asked Xiang Wai to Raelle. 𝒷ℯ𝓭𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓮𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶
"I guess your instructor must have really tortured you back in the day. That's why, now, you want to follow in his steps to become the villain to understand what satisfaction he felt when you were suffering under his hands."
Her words sounded so believable that everyone couldn't help laughing. Even if they laughed lowly, they couldn't hide their smiles. Even Zhai Yanjun couldn't help it.
Xiang Wai didn't mind their laughing, she just said, "Actually, you're not all that wrong. I do want to make people suffer! HAHAHA!"
"Was that your villainous laugh?" asked Raelle.
"Yes!"
"Practice more or don't do that again, please!"
"Pfft!"
Seeing how everyone laughed louder, Xiang Wai glared at her, "Whose sister are you?!"
"Unfortunately, yours!"
Xiang Wai could only take some deep breaths through her mouth to calm herself down.
"Then give me some respect!"
"I said please!" Raelle pointed out making Xiang Wai grit her teeth but she was so speechless that she couldn't say a word right now.
Well, who asked Raelle to be her sister? No, who asked her to be Raelle's sister? What was she expecting? What could one even expect when they had a sister like Raelle Xiang? No, seriously! What could one even expect?!
Xiang Wai could only take some deep breaths through her mouth to calm herself down.
"Yes! This is how you need to calm down when your students get on your nerve in the future. Don't be impulsive enough to beat the crap out of them."
Xiang Weimin had the worst reaction to that as he said, "I have to say, Wai, you should learn this lesson. Because, you're very capable of beating someone on impulse. That won't be good on your record."
