Coming back to Raelle's side...
The dinner had already ended and the three of them left the restaurant together. Raelle's eyes had been wandering around for a while but settled on Hyson's clothes as she said, "Even if you wanted to appear casual, why does it have to be a hoodie again?" She really found his choice of clothes an eyesore! Whenever they t in public, he'd either have a baseball cap or a hoodie on.
Hyson gave her an unhappy look, "Hoodies are one of the most powerful and underappreciated articles of clothing." He genuinely believed in his argunt! And felt unhappy at her best friend questioning his choice of clothing.
"Oh? How so?" questioned Raelle.
"Feeling cold? Just put on a hoodie. It's raining? It's a hoodie day! Have nothing to wear? No, you do! There is a hoodie! Hiding from fans? You already know it! See? How versatile and multifaceted!"
Raelle lifted her hands and pulled the drawstrings of his hoodie until only the tip of his nose was visible, she tied a knot as she said, "If you're hiding, do it the proper way!"
Hyson flailed his hands around as he couldn't see anything now and groaned in frustration, "See? This is how you give trouble all the ti!"
By the ti he fixed his hoodie, Raelle had already taken a seat in Shui Xian's car. Hyson looked at her for a mont before he suddenly recalled sothing. He tapped on her window and motioned her to open it.
Raelle took a mont before she pressed the button to let the windowpane down. "What is it now?"
"I told you already. Mum send a gift for the newlyweds," said Hyson. "Give a minute. Let get it from the car." He soon ca back with two boxes in his hand. One was a bigger one and the other was a relatively smaller one. He passed the smaller one to Raelle saying, "Here! This one is from mum."
Raelle took it and placed it in the backseat. She didn't plan on opening the gift right now. anwhile, Hyson passed the bigger box to Shui Xian with a grin, "I've already given her the wedding gift. How can I leave you out? So, this is for you!"
Raelle intercepted this exchange as she said, "There is nothing good inside."
"You don't trust ?" Hyson gave her a wronged look.
"Your gifts are always no good," she replied without missing a beat.
"This one is good. The thing inside is very useful!"
Raelle looked at him for a minute before she snatched the box from his hand and pulled off the ribbon right before his eyes, Hyson instinctively took a step back. Raelle's expressions didn't even change as she looked at the content of the box but Shui Xian's eyes had gone wide before he snatched the box from her and closed the lid.
However, he soon realized that his reaction seed odd. Was there really a need to react like that?
Raelle turned her head towards Hyson who scratched his head, "Mum says, it's very important to stay safe and use protection. We are all adults here. There is no need to feel shy about this."
Raelle beckoned him closer and Hyson took a step towards her rather reluctantly. If he could, he wouldn't want to step closer to her but he had no choice before her. As he got close, Raelle lifted her hand and Hyson intuitively closed his eyes as if expecting a hit. However, the hit he had expected didn't co. Instead, his head was patted by her soft hand as he heard her say, "For the very first ti, I truly like your gift."
Hyson's eyes opened wide and he stared at her dumbfoundedly. What was this reaction? His best friend just complinted him. Woah! He must be dreaming!
Shui Xian almost choked on air at Raelle's complint. He looked at the box in his hand that was filled with the wide variety of condoms and felt speechless. Sothing was definitely wrong with how his wife's brain worked. That was for certain! Or maybe that was the new normal and he was too old to understand it?
Hyson's grin graced his face again as he said, "Use it well!" With that, he waved his hand at them and bid them goodbye before running away.
Shui Xian was quiet for a mont before his gaze shifted to Raelle who was looking ahead with an expressionless face. Raelle noticed how Shui Xian wasn't starting the car and turned her head. As their eyes t, she questioned, "What's wrong? Why aren't we leaving?"
Shui Xian pressed the button of her seatbelt and as she noticed it, she was heaved onto his lap by him with such coquettish affinity. Raelle blinked in confusion as she raised her head and peered into his amber eyes.
Shui Xian placed his chin on her shoulder and took a deep breath letting her scent overwhelm his senses. She definitely didn't use any perfu but she had a faint scent of roses on her. It must be her shower gel, he thought to himself. His eyes were closed and he seed to be resting.
Raelle didn't disturb him. She neither asked him why he was acting like this nor did she push him away. They had already been intimate with each other, this action didn't seem odd to her. In fact, it made her want to lean into him and she did. Shui Xian felt her body relaxing and the corners of his lips curved up imperceptibly.
He placed his hand on her head and rubbed it gently as he said, "It seems my wife really loves giving odd surprises."
"Huh? What did I do?" asked Raelle looking rather confused about his words.
Shui Xian lifted his chin off her shoulder and stared into her eyes as he shook his head, "Nothing." Before he dropped a chaste kiss on her lips.
"That's not a kiss," said Raelle as she looked back at him.
"Oh?"
Raelle nodded, "Because I tasted nothing."
Shui Xian chuckled at her words before his finger hooked up and traced the bridge of her nose as he said, "That's strange. I tasted sothing very sweet."
Raelle touched her lips and said out, "Why don't I get to taste that sweetness?"
