Recently, Shui Koshing had been noticing how sticky his son was becoming. Even when Shui Xian hadn't changed into a cold businessman and was a brilliant artist, he wasn't as clingy as he was now. If he wasn't working, one could easily find Shui Xian fluttering around his wife but just as Master Xian had said, who could blame him?
"Master Xian, there is a guest outside asking for the Lady of the house."
The attention of both the Shui father and son went towards the housemaid who informed them about the guest.
"Who is it? Did you ask for their name?" questioned Shui Xian.
"It's a young man," replied the housemaid. She looked flustered as she added, "I forgot to ask his name."
"Let him in," this voice belonged to Raelle. "Before Hyson starts shouting at the door, just let him come inside."
"Hyson?" repeated Shui Xian with furrowed brows. "How are you sure it's Hyson? Did he tell you he'll come to visit today?"
Raelle shook her head, "No, he didn't."
"Then...?"
Before Shui Xian could ask further, he heard the familiar voice of Hyson, "There is no other young man who would come to look for her. Except for yours truly, Hyson!"
Shui Xian stood up to give Hyson a brotherly hug. Both of them met like good brothers who had known each other for years. Forget about Hyson's enthusiasm to see Shui Xian, even the latter was quite elated to see Hyson here.
Hyson tilted his head to look towards his best friend whose eyes didn't even shift away from the iPad in her hands for even one second. "Ellie, how about a hug or a kiss? Aren't you happy to see me?"
"I already allowed you to enter my family home, isn't that enough to show how happy I am to see you here?"
Hyson snorted at her reply, "Oh, your highness, I'm so honored by the favor you bestowed on me that my tears are about to fall."
"With such acting skills, you might really get somewhere," retorted Raelle. Hyson's lips parted to strike back but she didn't give him a chance to do so as she looked at Shui Koshing and said, "Bà, that's my best friend, Yue Fai. I apologize if he lacks some manners." Then she gave her best friend a look, "Don't you know how to greet the elders of the house? Where are your manners as a guest?"
Hyson gaped at her in disbelief before he shook his head and turned to Shui Koshing with a beautiful smile. "Hello, Uncle! It's an honor to meet you! Looking at you, I can finally understand where Xian Ge got his good genes from."
"Hyson, you're going overboard with flattering," Raelle chimed in.
"Who is flattering here?" Hyson shot back at her unhappily. "I'm being very honest right now. But a dull soul like yours won't understand such stuff so continue to study the data in silence." He stopped paying attention to her as he looked back at Shui Koshing, "I'm really sorry, Uncle! My best friend is a bit slow with humans. I wish she could understand human interactions as well as she can understand the numbers."
Shui Koshing laughed happily at Hyson's remarks, "You, young lad are really funny. Come, come, have a seat already. Someone bring some tea for our guest."
"There is no need for that," said Hyson.
While others thought he was just being polite, Raelle told them, "There really is no need for any tea. He just drank a soup. I can still smell the medicinal odor on him."
Hyson ran a hand through his hair, "Your bloody nose really is a danger to me." Then he smiled at Shui Koshing again and continued, "Actually, she is right. Grandpa just made me drink a soup. So, there is no need for tea for now."
"Oh, you went to see Opa?" inquired Shui Xian.
"Yup!" replied Hyson. "I was planning on spending my Saturday with him but he had some guests. I didn't want to intrude so I tacitly took my leave to come and find my best friend."
"Why do I think that you came to see my husband instead of me?"
Hyson smirked at his best friend, "I love to see that you have found some self-awareness, Ellie."
Shui Xian wrapped around his wife's shoulder and gave Hyson a look saying, "Xiao Fai, don't try to insult my wife while I am right here."
"Oooo... Protective husband, eh?"
Shui Xian proudly jutted out his chin, "Any doubt?"
"Young lad, why do you look so familiar?" asked Shui Koshing after he was done observing Hyson's face for a moment in silence. He thought that Hyson looked familiar.
"Bà, that's because Yue Fai is a celebrity," Shui Xian informed his father. "His stage name is Hyson. You must have seen him on tv. In fact, he had done quite a few endorsements. Besides, his face isn't something people could forget easily."
"Xian Ge, was that a compliment?"
"Of course," was Shui Xian's response. "Don't you already know that you're handsome? I believe your millions of fans must tell you that all the time."
Hyson looked at Raelle as he told him, "But your wife doesn't call me handsome anymore."
"Oh, why?"
"Because you're more handsome," this reply came from Raelle herself who stared at Shui Xian.
Master Xian was stunned frozen by that one remark. It wasn't even his first time hearing that compliment from his wife but why was the impact getting bigger and bigger with each time? He never thought of himself to be a vain person but why did he feel so excited with such compliments from her?!
"Ellie, stop forgetting the old beauty just because you have the new one in your arms."
"I didn't forget you," replied Raelle. "You're handsome. Just a little less than my husband."
"It was better if you hadn't said that at all!"
"Young lad, you should come more often," said Shui Koshing happily. "I have never seen my daughter talking like this before."
"It took me years to learn the art of annoying her," Hyson proudly told him as if it was his huge accomplishment. "Oh, by the way, Ellie, do you know who is here to meet Grandpa?"
"Who is it?"
"Your ex blind date's grandparents!"
"You can simply say that Opa's best friend is here to see him."
"That statement isn't exciting enough!"
Shui Koshing's attention was caught by their conversation as he asked, "Uncle Feiyang is at Uncle Yu's place?" Hyson nodded in reply. "No wonder, it's taking him so long to come here."
