Chapter 315 – Let’s Play
"I'm actually feeling really touched right now," said Hyson.
"Why?"
"Even though you are so far away, you're still worried about me. Shouldn't I be touched?" asked Hyson in return.
"Only this is enough to please you?"
"YES!" was Hyson's response. It was more than enough for him actually. Not everyone could get Raelle's worry. He was the special one for whom she was worried. How is it not pleasing? But forget it, if he said it out loud, will she understand it? No way! "Don't think about me anymore. If Zhai Yanjun does come to me, I really won't push him away. I'm just a good boy. How can I be rude to anyone?" His expression changed as he added, "The only condition is that his intentions are good."
"I don't think Mr. Soldier has any bad intentions," said Raelle. "Also, let me tell you something about him. I believe you should know."
"What is it?"
"He is a child with a troubled childhood. That means although he looks strong, he is quite sensitive."
Hyson was quiet for a while before he looked at her, "Oh, then I'll be especially nice to him."
"That's for the better," said Raelle.
"Forget about all that and tell me what is wrong with you?" started Hyson. "I just looked it up online. The town you're staying in is surrounded by the beauty of nature. It's breathtaking even in photos. How can you lock yourself in a room and work? Go outside to look around!"
"I'll go with Xian," was Raelle answer.
"Why am I not surprised?"
"Because you know me well."
Hyson smiled at her, "YES! I do!" He did know her well and that's why he couldn't argue anymore on this topic. She also had her stubborn moments. She won't go to take a look without Shui Xian. "And for moments like these, I used to tell you to find some hobbies! Look, you even took time off but you have no idea how to spend your free time. Isn't that pitiful?"
"Is it?" she inquired. "I don't think so. I'm getting work done."
Hyson facepalmed himself, "Okay, let's do it this way. I'll go look for Uncle Shing and then we'll invite you to our party to play the game with us. What do you think?"
"Don't think I don't know your real intention is to check out my gaming computer," said Raelle plainly.
Hyson's expressions cracked. Busted! But whatever!
"Well, then who told you to send me the pictures of your gaming room when I was in the hospital? Isn't that being cruel to a patient?"
"Oh, so I learned how to be cruel to a patient. A new skill is added to my database," said Raelle.
Hyson almost rolled his eyes at her. Why was his best friend's focus so out of focus?!
This was really appalling!
"Focus!" he exclaimed.
"Hyson, do you really think I'll stop you from doing anything? If you want to check out the performance of the computer, just go ahead and do it. Let me see who stops you!"
Hyson chuckled, "My best friend is the overlord. Who can really stop me?" He actually loved it when she said it like that. It made him fall in love with her even harder.
"But give me about 2 hours," added Raelle. "There is an important meeting that I left to Cloe but I need to oversee it myself. After I deal with it, I'll join you guys."
"Really?" Hyson perked. "You're gonna play with us?" He was bound to win with her around. Who would dare mess with his team with this overlord in it? No one!
"I'll join. But for Bà," she told him.
Hyson just smiled, "I don't care for whom you're joining. What I care about is that you're coming to play with me. I'm so happy about that." He honestly didn't care that she was gonna join the same for Uncle Shing. Her presence was the only thing that mattered.
Why would he think that Uncle Shing was more important to her than him? He knew his importance well. He had his own place in her life and Shui Koshing was getting his own place in her life. And Hyson was more than happy about it. After all, it was the first time there was a father figure in her life. How could he not be happy for her?
Just because they never talked about it or yearned for one didn't mean they weren't curious about how it felt to have a father in life. So, Shui Koshing's presence in Raelle was more than welcomed!
"Stop daydreaming," came Raelle's voice. "I'm going back to work."
"Alright!"
After the phone call, Raelle did call Cloe and told her that she would be virtually present in the meeting which finally calmed down Cloe's heart. She could be at ease now that the big boss was there. Even after years, she still couldn't manage those old foxes as well as Raelle. Indeed, a boss was a boss for a reason.
Hyson also changed his clothes and went downstairs. He looked at Grandfather Xiang who seemed to be going somewhere and asked, "Opa, where are you going?"
"I'm going to meet Yanjun's grandfather," told Grandfather Xiang. "He came to invite me in person. I should give him some face."
Hyson nodded his head.
"Do you want to join me?"
Hyson shook his head, "No, thanks. I'm good!"
Grandfather Xiang looked at the two ladies of the house and asked, "What are you both up to?"
"We are planning to make red velvet cake for Fai," told Mu Chenyna their plan.
Hyson's smile stiffened. Bloody hell! He loved red velvet cake. But then he looked down at his body and steeled his heart. No way was he gonna fall for it. His weight was already out of place. He had to firmly grasp his resolve!
"Yanyan, Mum, you both don't have to do it. I'm going to visit Uncle Shing today," he told them innocently.
"Huh? Why?"
"Because Ellie and Xian Ge aren't around. Uncle Shing must be alone. I feel like I should check up on him," said Hyson. "When he came back, the first person he visited was me. I should show reciprocate the feeling, no?"
Both Mu Chenyan and Yue Yue shared a look and agreed, "Yes, you should go over then."
Grandfather Xiang said to Hyson, "Then come along with me. I'll drop you off on the way."
"Opa, it's just next door," reminded Hyson.
"As if the distance is small," said Grandfather Xiang. Even if it was just next door, it couldn't really be counted as a small distance. Both Xiang Manor and Shui Villa covered a vast area. Then he looked over at the two ladies and told them, "Since Fai is going out, both of you get a life!"
Hyson pursed his lips to hold back his laughter. He knew he shouldn't laugh at them but he couldn't help it. The way Grandfather Xiang said it was just so pleasing to him. He couldn't help it.
Mu Chenyan sighed and looked at Yue Yue, "We should really get something done. What do you say, Yue?"
Yue Yue went along with her and nodded her head in agreement.
Then Hyson joined Grandfather Xiang who told him, "My little prince is really being fed too much, eh?"
Hyson lowered his head. Even Grandfather Xiang saw him through.
"I don't feel good when they both spend all their own time on me," said Hyson.
"I know that," said Grandfather Xiang. "It's good for you to go out. And going over to see Koshing is even better. That man is only in his fifties but acts even older than me. He has no life."
Hyson chuckled at how Grandfather Xian found faults with everyone.
"Opa, is there a fault in me and Ellie?"
Grandfather Xiang shook his head, "Even if there are any flaws, I don't care. And I won't let anyone point them out either."
Hyson chuckled at him. It didn't take long for them to reach Shui Villa, and only after seeing Hyson entering the house did Grandfather Xiang asked the driver to start the car again. As for Shui Koshing, when he heard that he had a visitor he was surprised but when he saw Hyson, he was pleasantly surprised.
"Yue Fai!" Shui Koshing left aside his coffee and book to meet Hyson. How could tasteless coffee be more interested than the guy before him. "What a pleasant surprise!"
"Hehehe. First, Ellie was gonna tell you about my visit but I stopped her. I thought coming unannounced will be more interesting. What do you think? I didn't disturb you right?"
"What nonsense? How can you disturb me? I am an old man who has nothing better to do every day," grumbled Shui Koshing.
"This old man seems quite energetic to me though," said Hyson making Shui Koshing smile at him.
