"You still didn't tell ," started Zhai Yanjun. "About you dating."
"Do you even believe that?" asked Hyson.
"Why? The news is everywhere," said Zhai Yanjun.
"Look it up again," said Hyson. "It's nowhere to be found. Besides, if I really was dating soone, it won't be announced like this."
"Oho! How else would you announce it?"
"At least in a better way than you," retorted Hyson. "You should be ashad. You couldn't even hide one relationship. Everyone knew you were dating while you both thought you were hiding it well."
"In my opinion, it wasn't our fault. We did our best. The problem lies with the people around us who have sharp eyes that see through everything. How could it be blad on us? It was also our first ti doing it." Taking a pause, he added, "Once you get into a relationship, I'll see how you hide it."
"Why would I even hide it?" asked Hyson in return. "I don't see a reason to. You only hide relationships when you have no faith in your relationship otherwise, you should be announcing it to the world."
"You're a star," reminded Zhai Yanjun.
"That doesn't an I'm willing to make my partner suffer by staying in the darkness," said Hyson. "That'd make feel like we're doing sothing wrong. Kind of like an underground affair."
"You have a lot to say all of a sudden," said Zhai Yanjun. "Do you have your eyes on soone already?"
"That's the thing. No one has caught my eye yet," replied Hyson. "Captain, if you called for such stupid questions then you really are wasting my ti."
"Why? Can't we just chit-chat?"
"No!"
"Who said that? Ayi said I can call you whenever I feel like talking to soone. You'll have to listen even if you don't want to. Or else, I'll call Ayi."
"How old are you? How can you still tattletale like this? How can you even threaten by using my own mother's na?"
"Because only she can control you in this world."
Hyson shook his head, "No. It's just the illusion I have created that she can control . In truth, I'm a free bird. Nothing can hold back."
"Should I call Raelle?"
"You're playing dirty now," said Hyson. "My best friend is off limits between our argunts."
Zhai Yanjun laughed happily and felt so relaxed. After talking with his father, only now did he feel like his nerves were relaxing.
"What's up with you, Jun Ge? You said you just want to talk which ans sothing is on your mind. What is it? Is it again your relationship?"
"Nah." replied Zhai Yanjun. "Wai and I are very happy."
"I'll take the credit for that," said Hyson cheekily.
"I didn't give you the credit," said Zhai Yanjun purposely.
"Who asked for it from you?" retorted Hyson. "I just take things that I want. I don't want to wait."
"Fine, you take the credit."
"I already did."
Zhai Yanjun rolled his eyes, "Do you never get tired of talking nonsense?"
"No," replied Hyson. "How can you ever get tired of nonsense?"
"I an, you must be tired here and there. You also have limited energy like any other human being."
"When I feel like my energy is low, I call people like you to talk nonsense to recharge myself."
Zhai Yanjun pursed his lips and felt so amused that he didn't know what to say.
"You're really one of a kind, Fai."
"Everyone knows that."
Zhai Yanjun and Hyson stayed silent for a while but neither hung up the phone at all. And then it was Zhai Yanjun who broke the silence.
"I do have sothing on my mind," said Zhai Yanjun. "I think I'll need your permission with it too."
"What is it?" Hyson dropped his careless attitude and turned serious.
"You once warned not to look into things that don't involve ," said Zhai Yanjun.
"I rember," said Hyson. "What? You wanna dig into that past again?"
"I'm gonna ask Ayi first," inford Zhai Yanjun. "You said as long as she is willing to tell everything, you won't mind it."
Hyson's brows furrowed up before a sigh escaped his mouth, "What did you learn?"
"What do you think?" asked Zhai Yanjun in return.
"If we are going by my guess, then I'd say you must have learned about how you're related to ."
Zhai Yanjun wasn't the least bit surprised when Hyson caught up on that. He knew he'd from the mont he spoke about it with Hyson. Initially, he didn't want to say anything but then he was reminded of how Hyson once warned him not to touch the secrets of the past that hurt his mother. So, he had to take his permission if he wanted to look into past events.
"Tsk. I should have known."
"You're not even surprised," said Zhai Yanjun.
"Why should I be? If you had been a little bit attentive, you'd have caught on to this fact long ago," said Hyson. "Since it took you so long, it only ans you're stupid."
"Can you stop insulting your elder brother like this?"
"Wow! You're quick to take on the role of an elder brother here, eh?"
"I always wanted to be an elder brother," said Zhai Yanjun.
"Even though your little brother is an illegitimate one?"
"Yue Fai!" Zhai Yanjun turned angry all of a sudden. "Don't say that again."
Hyson suddenly smiled when he heard that. "Why? Isn't that the truth? Whether you like it or not, the truth here is that I'm an illegitimate child."
"How so? You're just from a single-mother family. Yes! Haven't you seen how many people in the world co from single-mother families these days? So, you are not allowed to say that."
"I didn't think you'd react this way, Jun Ge."
"What did you think? That I'm an unreasonable fool?"
"Aren't you?"
"Fai! Can you respect a little?"
"Nope! Can't do."
Zhai Yanjun wanted to say or do sothing but he just realized how helpless he was in front of this little brother. Tsk. It was a sweet burden to be the elder brother.
