Chapter 283 – In Your Heart
"Are you feeling frustrated?" asked Raelle when she noticed Hyson's expressions.
"Yes, I am," he agreed. "How can I not be?" He took a pause and turned to her, "Ellie, I'm telling you, don't bring in a kid into your marriage unless you're certain that's what you want."
"And when did you come to think that I'd do anything recklessly?" she asked finding his words completely unnecessary.
"I know you're not reckless at all. But I still wanted to say this," he said.
"Kids are not the purpose of marriage, Hyson," said Raelle. "A family doesn't need kids to be complete. A family can be built by two people who are gonna spend a lifetime with each other. You don't need to remind me that I have to think carefully before choosing whether to have a kid or not."
Hyson bit his lip and stayed quiet. Of course, he knew that.
"Oh, and as for the amusement park," added Raelle. "I'll see if I can book the park for the whole day."
"No!" he instantly cut in. "I want to enjoy riding with people as normal people do."
"But you're not normal," she said.
"Are you calling me abnormal?"
"I didn't say that but there is no lie in that either." Before Hyson could blow his top, she went on, "I meant you're not an ordinary man. As a star, how are you gonna enjoy the rides with others?"
"I can definitely work up a perfect disguise for myself," he stated confidently. "You don't need to concern yourself with it because now, I've changed my plans! I'm not going with you!"
"That's even better!"
Hyson gaped at her. She readily agreed as if she was waiting for him to say exactly that. Scheming chicken nugget!
A phone ring caught their attention and Hyson picked up the phone to tell her, "Xian Ge is calling."
"Take the call and put it on speaker," said Raelle. As soon as the call connected, she asked, "Are you coming back?"
"Uhh…" Shui Xian blanked for a while with that question and hesitated before telling her, "No, I'm not coming back yet."
"Then where are you?" she asked.
"I don't know about that but I know where I want to be," said Shui Xian cheekily.
"And where do you want to be?" inquired Raelle.
"In your heart," replied Shui Xian.
"Pfft!" Hyson burst out laughing with that answer. "Xian Ge, you're quite a romantic."
Shui Xian scratched the tip of his nose. He didn't think Hyson would be listening to his conversation with his wife. Of course, he wasn't embarrassed at all. Why would he be? He was just talking to his wife.
"Fai, you got discharged today?"
"Yeah, we are going back home now," answered Hyson. "I heard you'd be coming today as well."
"I was planning to but something cropped again, I'll have to stay for longer now," stated Shui Xian feeling frustrated. The more he wanted to go back soon, the more he wasn't able to do so. It's been a week since he last saw his wife in person. And because he was busy, they only got to talk once every day, and that too only for a little while.
"Xian Ge, are you feeling homesick?" asked Hyson completely ignoring that this call was for Raelle. He believed that since she was driving, she should only focus on driving.
"I'm homesick," accepted Shui Xian. "I'm also lovesick."
"Wow! You really accept your feelings easily," said Hyson in awe. He had never met someone like Shui Xian who was so vocal about his feelings.
"If I keep hiding these feelings in my heart, it'll get too much for me to bear," stated Shui Xian. "And besides, I have to be vocal about my feelings to get the message across. After all, I have a special wife."
"That's understandable," said Hyson thoughtfully. "Xian Ge, have you been to an amusement park before?"
"Yes," answered Shui Xian. "When I was young, my parents would take me to the amusement parks over the weekend. It was quite fun. Later, I went to a theme park in college as well with my friends. It was still fun."
Hyson stared at Raelle when Shui Xian talked about how he had fun in an amusement park with his family and friends. When it came to this discussion, Hyson felt like he and his best friend were really unfortunate.
"Why are you suddenly asking about that?" asked Shui Xian.
"Oh, nothing. I just asked your wife to take me to one but she refused to do so."
"I didn't refuse," Raelle interrupted. "You said you won't take me with you."
Shui Xian actually understood how their conversation must have gone so he hurriedly suggested, "How about all of us go when I come back?"
"All of us?" asked Hyson.
"Yeah. You, me, and my wife."
"Can't we throw Ellie out of this plan?"
"No, can't do."
Hyson sighed out, "Forget it. We need someone to pay for us anyway."
Shui Xian laughed out loud at that. He had been feeling so down when he realized he won't be able to go back home today to see his wife. But talking to Hyson actually helped in lifting up his mood a lot. He was feeling refreshed now.
"How is your health, Fai?"
"If I'm already out of the hospital it means I'm already fine," said Hyson.
"Not really," Shui Xian refuted his words. "I know very well why the doctors allowed you to leave the hospital."
"You're well informed," said Hyson. "It seems my best friend learned to talk."
"I could talk from the age I turned 2," said Raelle.
"You and I both know what I meant here," Hyson gave her a knowing look.
Of course, Raelle knew what he meant but she didn't point it out. She didn't feel like it was necessary to do so. Yes, she didn't share things with people all the time but right now, it was about Shui Xian. If she won't even share things with her husband, who else was she gonna share it with?
