Chapter 493 – Future
"Hyson, shouldn't you show your friends around?" asked Raelle. "Why are you making them sit here and get harassed by her?"
Cloe whipped her head around and narrowed her eyes at Raelle, "Chief, who is harassing here?"
"The one who is asking this question," replied Raelle.
"I am not!" argued Cloe.
"If you say so."
Hyson chuckled at them and said, "Zhen Ge, come with me. There is still time for dinner. So, let's play pool?"
"Huh? There is a pool table here?" asked Shui Xian curiously when he saw Hyson taking his group members with him.
"There is a game room in the basement," answered Raelle. "And there is even a music room upstairs."
"How come I didn't know that?" wondered Shui Xian. He hadn't been to these places before. What kind of a son-in-law was he? He didn't even see his in-laws' place thoroughly. But then again, he'd only pay attention to his surroundings once his eyes would peel away from Raelle. And that seemed a little impossible right now.
Seeing that Raelle's attention was on Shui Xian, Cloe chose to make a run for her life. She was quite bold with her idols around but now, she didn't even want to look at Raelle. She chose to enter the kitchen to look for a safe haven. And along the way, she'd just help Mu Chenyan with something. It was better than staying here and waiting for Raelle to execute her.
"Do you want to have another tour of the house?" asked Raelle.
"Nah! I'd rather spend time with my wife," said Shui Xian. He got super comfortable on the sofa and even directly just put his head on Raelle's leg and laid down. "I'm so tired."
Raelle didn't push him away rather she put her hand on his forehead and let it stay there. Shui Xian smiled and closed his eyes. "You know I used to think that your and Fai's friendship dynamic is more like chaotic x chaotic but now, it seems like cinnamon roll x cinnamon roll protector."
"Who is the cinnamon roll and who is the cinnamon roll protector?" asked Raelle.
"It depends," he answered honestly. "Sometimes Fai can be a cinnamon roll but he is also a good cinnamon roll protector and vice versa."
"How can I count as a cinnamon roll?" Raelle disagreed with this point. She really didn't think she was a cinnamon roll. Definitely not.
"Oh, my darling, but you are," he breathed out.
"But how?"
"You just are," he insisted on this point. "Don't ask why or how. Just know that you are. You should even put this in your notes that you're a cinnamon roll. This is something new I'm letting you know about yourself."
"Then I should say thank you," replied Raelle.
Shui Xian still didn't open his eyes but the corners of his lips didn't go down as well. How was he supposed to explain to her that she was really a cinnamon roll? She was just too adorable and she had a kind of an innocence that was very unique to her.
"But don't you think it's better to define Hyson and my dynamic as goofy x serious?"
Shui Xian disagreed, "No way. Even if Fai seems goofy, he isn't. He is only wearing the persona of goofiness and that's definitely not who he is. I shouldn't even have to tell you this. You know him a lot better than me."
"That's also true," said Raelle.
"Baby…"
"Hmm?"
"What did you think about what Bà said last night?"
"Which part?"
Shui Xian tsked, "The part about our honeymoon every six months?"
"I didn't think about it."
"Then think," he opened his eyes and looked at her face. He put his arms around her neck and pulled her down making her eyes lock with his. "Think deeply about it. I'm not letting you escape this one."
"You have a place you want to go with me?" she asked.
"Is that even a question?" Shui Xian's eyes became bigger as he questioned that. "Of course, I have a lot of places I want to take you. I want to go to the world's largest cave, HangSon Doong. It's over 200 meters high and has its own climate, jungles, rivers, and clouds inside. Doesn't it sound fascinating?" Raelle just continued to see how the sparkle in his eyes became brighter and brighter with the pitch of his voice as he showed his excitement in his words, "And then there is the waterfall in Peru known as the 'The Bride', it looks like a lady. Another marvel of nature. Also, I want to take you to a Van Gogh exhibit. They are hauntingly enchanting."
"You have a lot of plans," commented Raelle.
"Yes, I do," he nodded his head. He held her hand that was placed on his forehead and put it on his lips. As he pressed a kiss against her palm, he added, "I want to hold this hand and walk through the streets of Alberobello. And I also want to stay in the town of Oia and hug you before that beautiful ocean." The more he talked, the more absurd he just became but Raelle didn't stop him at all. She allowed him to make his plans and write a future he wanted to see with her. It was quite interesting to listen to. "I want to watch all kinds of things with you. I once had the opportunity to watch a dance performance of Berezka. In that, women move with steps so short that it looked like they were floating. I was so shocked to see it. Have you seen it before?"
Raelle shook her head in response.
"It's okay, we'll see it together next time," he seemed to be promising her.
"Are you done planning the future?"
Shui Xian pursed his lips and nodded, "I am."
"Is it looking pretty?"
Shui Xian pulled her face even closer to his. As his lips brushed against hers, he said under his breath, "You're there.. How can it not look beautiful? In fact, it looks amazing with you there."
