"I don't know if I should say it, but..."
"Xian Ge, just say it," said Hyson.
"Then I'd say that Major Xiang Wai is a bit... silly when it cos to love," comnted Shui Xian. "That's my personal opinion after talking to her. She acts like a little girl in love. It's no wonder she ended up hurting herself so badly. She is the kind of a person who loves you as if her life depends on it. I don't know if I should say it's a good or very dangerous thing."
Raelle won't have any opinion regarding this topic but Hyson did agree with Shui Xian, "You're right. I also noticed. Even after getting hurt by love. She is once again acting like the sa person who was willing to do anything for love. She isn't guarded at all."
"But then again, you can never fall in love if you're guarded all the ti," added Shui Xian. "You shouldn't be too critical when it cos to feelings, Little Fai. Rember that."
"Why should I rember that? I'm not the one looking for a relationship."
"Who looks for such things? It just cos into your life unannounced. No matter how many doors you lock, when the storm of love cos, it obliterates everything in its way. You should never underestimate it. Never ever."
Hyson wasn't that big of a fan of this topic when it involved himself. It wasn't like he was running from love or anything but he wasn't actively or passively looking for it either.
"Hyson, didn't your mom tell you that she t her parents?" asked Raelle.
Hyson shook his head, "No. Even Yanyan didn't tell anything. I can't believe the beautiful ladies I love had started keeping secrets from now. I'm hurt."
"You didn't notice anything different about those two these days?"
Hyson thought carefully and shook his head again, "Not really. Everything is the sa. Yanyan is super busy with their brand work and Mum's been working on making your bridal gown. Both seed pretty normal. The only odd point would be the other day when I ca ho, Mum cried and complained to Opa about how Yanyan yelled at her, and in turn, Yanyan had to apologize. It was a pretty funny scene."
Raelle analyzed his words before coming to a conclusion, "That ans you have nothing to worry about. It seems the shadow of your maternal grandparents on Yue is no more. She isn't concerned about them or their opinions. In fact, she is more concerned about Yanyan's mild temper towards her."
"Who told Yanyan to spoil her rotten? Now, she has to bear with it as well. It's Yanyan who treated her so well that even a mild change can tick off my mum."
He seed to be gloating and found this situation even funnier. Well, as long as those two ladies knew how to have fun who cared how they played? He didn't care at all. He was extrely relaxed from the ti his mother moved in with the Xiang family. He was so worry-free that he felt like floating. After all, he was clear about the fact that in the Xiang family, everyone would take care of his mother.
Even if the only person around was Raelle who didn't even know how to take care of people, it won't stop her from doing her best.
Hyson suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going for a walk. Even though this al isn't enough to make fat, I should still take a walk. And also, look around this place."
Raelle looked in the direction he was going without blinking.
"What's up?" asked Shui Xian.
"Nothing," replied Raelle. "I'm just thinking how bad his excuse was."
"He was making an excuse?"
"Yes," said Raelle. "He is clearly going towards that old tree to make a wish. But acting so nonchalant. His acting is so bad. Do you think his debut movie will work with this acting level?"
Shui Xian pressed his lips together and stopped himself from saying that it was only her who could see through his lies. In fact, Shui Xian thought Hyson was very natural about it. So, he wasn't worried about Hyson's debut movie at all.
Hyson really went to find the old tree that he heard about from Raelle. It wasn't just Raelle actually. He had heard about this legend from Huang Shuyi before as well. He was told that it was a revered and sacred place.
He got a ribbon and wrote down his wish before he ran to the banyan tree. He looked at the big tree that was shrouded in darkness at this ti and gulped nervously. He really chose the worst ti to co here. Even though there were lanterns around but they only lit the pathway. The tree was still shrouded in the darkness looking a little scary.
Hyson took a deep breath and found a place to tie his wish ribbon then he looked conflicted as he said out loud, "It's so dark. Can the tree spirit even read my wish in this darkness? What if he is sleepy and doesn't bother looking at my wish? Or what if he can't even read?"
The more he spoke, the more weird things ca to his mind.
"Should I say it out loud to make it better?" he scratched his head and put his hands together to earnestly pray. "Mr. Tree Spirit!" He again thought about what he wanted to say and went on, "My na is Yue Fai. And I don't want to wish for anything for myself. I only have one wish in life, please, I just want to hear my mum calling my na. Just once. That's all I'm asking for. I know it's an impossible dream but dreams should be big. You can definitely make miracles happen." He paused and added, "Oh, and I'm sorry for disturbing your rest. That's very rude of . I sincerely apologize."
"Hahahaha!"
Hearing that silvery laughter in the air, Hyson froze.
