Chapter 348 - No Harm

"Fai, when did you come back?" 

Hyson looked back to see Mu Chenyan and gave her a big smile, "I just came back."

"Then what are you doing in the kitchen? It's not a place for you," Mu Chenyan rushed him out of there. "If you want to eat something just tell me. Don't wander around in the kitchen."

"I just went to see mum there," he told her.

"Oh..." Mu Chenyan sat down with him and asked, "What took you so long? Did you stay at the hospital for so long?"

Hyson shook his head, "No, my vocal coach asked me to see him and when I went over, I was caught by my dance teacher. He scolded me for an hour."

Mu Chenyan scowled when she heard that, "Who got the guts to scold our family's son?"

Hyson chuckled at her reaction, "Yanyan, I deserved that scolding actually. I didn't practice in over a month and the accident made my body stiff as well. I'm already the worst one in the group when it comes to dancing, now, I've gotten even worse than before."

Mu Chenyan patted his head dotingly, "It's okay. Don't take it to heart. You have an amazing voice. So what if the dancing is a bit lacking? We can't be good at everything."

"When you say it like that, I even lose the will to improve," said Hyson.

Mu Chenyan laughed at him. "Go and freshen up. The dinner is almost done."

"Roger that, boss!"

Mu Chenyan tsked and shook her head, "Silly boy!"

As he was about to leave, he thought about Xiang Weimin and contemplated whether to tell Mu Chenyan about this or not. But then he chose to just shut his mouth. He'd let Raelle know first. 

Later when Hyson came down for dinner, he was whistling happily. He skipped around his way to the dining table and greeted Grandfather Xiang, "Good evening, Opa! How was your day?"

"Quite boring without you," stated Grandfather Xiang.

Hyson proudly flicked his hair saying, "I'm that color that everyone needs in life. Ah! I feel special."

Grandfather Xiang laughed at his antics and said, "You are already our special kid."

Hyson gave him a toothy grin and sat down with him. 

"Why do you look so excited though?" asked Mu Chenyan.

"I am very excited," said Hyson. "Two people have gone on a date today. I am waiting for updates excitedly."

"Waiting for updates or gossips?" asked Mu Chenyan rhetorically.

Hyson could only grin in reply.

Grandfather Xiang rubbed his head saying, "Fai, this is your age to go on dates yourself. Why are you excited about other's dates?"

"Because I'm a person who is happier when others are happy," stated Hyson. "That's how selfless I am."

"Pfft!" Mu Chenyan couldn't stop herself while Yue Yue also covered her mouth to laugh at her son's words. This selfless guy was certainly one in a million!

"Opa, look!" Hyson complained as he pointed at the two ladies. "They are laughing at me."

"Whoever laughed at our family's Fai is gonna get punished," stated Grandfather Xiang in his authoritative voice.

Both the ladies went quiet instantly. After all, when Grandfather Xiang said there'd be punishment, they'd be punished. Who cared whether they were forty years old or not?

Hyson was very content to see that no one was laughing at him anymore. Then he turned to Grandfather Xiang and told him, "Also, Opa, I'm just a little kid. How can I go on a date at this age? It's really not my cup of tea."

Everyone in this room understood what he meant by those words. He wasn't even interested in any girls, how could he go on a date with any girl?

"By the way, who went on a date today?" asked Mu Chenyan.

"Ellie and Cloe," answered Hyson. 

Everyone chose to ignore Raelle for a moment. 

"Cloe went on a date? With who?"

"It's a blind date," said Hyson. "Her friend Soren asked her to go on a blind date with his brother-in-law. Since Soren would not choose a bad person for his friend, I'm wondering how this blind date went. Hopefully, she didn't try to pull any stunts like Ellie."

"Well, she has spent way too long with our Elle," said Mu Chenyan. "I wouldn't be surprised if she really pulled a stunt."

Hyson couldn't deny that. Even he believed that Raelle rubbed off on him. How could Cloe escape? But then again, it also meant that Cloe was a lot more rational than ever. So, she'd be smart enough to take this date seriously.

"Speaking of dates," began Hyson. "Yanyan, why don't I find one for you?"

Mu Chenyan almost choked on her food. "Why don't you give the same suggestion to your mother?"

Hyson frowned at that, "You think I don't want to?" He looked at his mother who didn't even bother lifting her eyes and went on, "She is still stuck on that unrequited love of hers. I really wonder what kind of a person he was that mum is still so hung up on him."

Mu Chenyan had nothing to say about that. She also wondered what kind of a person that man was to make Yue love him so deeply.

Clearing her throat, she said, "Anyway, dating is a big no-no for me!"

Hyson tsked at her, "And here I am living with the hope of eating your wedding candy one day."

Mu Chenyan glared at him, "Don't pit me like that!"

Hyson laughed out at that and sighed out, "Fine, I won't say it again. But you should think about it."

"I've already spent half of my life alone, what makes you think I need a partner for the other half of my life?"

"You don't need one doesn't mean there is any harm in having someone by your side." He spoke very clearly and sincerely. 

"Eat your meal," said Mu Chenyan and went back to eating again.. She didn't want to think about his words at all.
