Chapter 377 - Hyper

Hyson came back home before dinner. He was still his happy-go-lucky self as he whistled and enjoyed on his own. 

"What took you so long?" asked Mu Chenyan.

"I was busying making someone realize that life is full of colors," answered Hyson.

"Aiyo! Our Fai is really awesome!"

"Yanyan, I know I love compliments but you don't have to force yourself."

Mu Chenyan laughed at that.

"Where is mum?"

"Your mum's inspiration is bursting out," responded Mu Chenyan lazily.

"Where is Opa?"

"He is resting inside."

Hyson thought about it for a moment before deciding, "I'm gonna climb the wall."

"Huh?"

"Because I want to meet Ellie," he elaborated his intention.

"Oh!"

"If I climb the wall, I won't have to go around."

Mu Chenyan rubbed his head, "Don't try anything funny. If you're gonna climb the wall, just be careful. Don't get hurt."

"I won't!" Hyson reassured. "I'm going now!"

He really ended up climbing over the wall to enter the Shui Manor. He ran inside the mansion and found Shui Koshing reading a book.

"Uncle Shing, what's up?"

Shui Koshing looked up at Hyson and a smile was etched on his face, "Where did you come from?"

"I am the angel that heaven has offered to this world to spread light, love, and warmth."

"Wow!" exclaimed Shui Koshing. "You looked so sincere that I almost believed you." He saw something and said, "There is something on your shoulder."

Hyson looked at his shoulder and found a dry leaf. "Oh, look! My shoulders are so trustworthy that even leaves can't let go of me now."

"You're extra chirpy today," commented Shui Koshing.

"You can just say I'm on a sugar rush," said Hyson. "Because even I feel like that right now. I have too much energy today. That's why I came to find Raelle. Talking to her drains out people, so she is perfect to get me back to normal."

"You say all sorts of things," Shui Koshing shook his head helplessly at Hyson. "Just say that you want to meet your best friend. What's the point of going round and round?"

"Where is she?"

"In her room," answered Shui Koshing. "She just came back."

"And Xian Ge?"

"He must be on his way," added Shui Koshing.

"I'm gonna go and check on Ellie."

Shui Koshing shooed him away, "Go along!"

Hyson ascended the stairs and went to Raelle's room. He knocked on the door before opening it. Raelle craned her neck out of the walk-in closet to see who came and found Hyson. 

"What are you doing here?"

"Just felt like seeing you," answered Hyson trying to sound nonchalant.

"No lies," reminded Raelle.

Hyson sighed out, "I had been feeling uneasy since this morning. Was everything okay with you today?"

Raelle's eyes were glued to Hyson's face as she tried to read his mind. Things like these that science could never prove were extremely novel to Raelle and out of her understanding as well. It wasn't the first time that Hyson had a feeling like this. And 99% of the time, his feeling had been right.

Just like today...

"I just had to make a visit to the military base as a suspect," said Raelle honestly.

Hyson ran over to her side and held her shoulders looking her up and down, "So, my feeling wasn't wrong? Are you okay? Did something happen? What really happened?"

"I'm fine," replied Raelle. "The Special Forces team had been tracking a drug syndicate for a year. They had the information that the syndicate had a new drug that they smuggled into the country. If it spread, the consequences would have been dire. To reach the distribution channels, a representative was sent to the Ecstasy Clubhouse. I was just at the wrong place at the wrong time."

"Then did they find what they were looking for?"

Raelle nodded her head, "It seems they did catch someone but I don't know any other detail. It's a confidential matter."

"As long as you're okay, I don't give a damn about anything else," Hyson said out his inner thoughts. He never considered himself to be a good person. He wasn't that kind and considerate either. 

Raelle went back inside the walk-in closet and Hyson followed behind her like a tail. 

"What?"

"Do you know whom I met today?" 

"Who?" 

"I met Zhai Yanjun's father."

Raelle stopped and looked at him, "Oh? Where?"

"When I went to see Xiang Weimin. He was also there." He took a pause and added, "It's hard to believe that he is actually Zhai Yanjun's father."

"Why?"

"I don't know," Hyson shrugged his shoulders. "Their personalities are completely different."

"Yanjun also came running to help me when he found out that I was at the military base."

"Really?" asked Hyson.

"Yeah."

"Hmmm... It seems I'll have to be nice to him from now on," said Hyson.

"Why? You weren't planning on being nice?"

"I was already pretty nice to him."

"Yes, but you're still trying to keep your distance from him somewhat," stated Raelle matter-of-factly.

She knew Hyson won't be able to refute her words. 

"Oh, do you want to guess whom I met at the Base?"

"Huh?" Hyson raised his brows at her. "You met someone other than Yanjun?"

Raelle nodded her head.

"Who?"

"Major Xiang Wai."

"What a day you had!" Hyson picturized the whole scene of two sisters standing opposite each other. "This scene is too exciting. Why wasn't I there? How am I gonna live with this regret now?"

"Are you done?"

Hyson straightened up and nodded, "Yes, sir!" He ran his hand through the clothes hanging in the closet and frowned, "Why is Xian Ge's wardrobe so boring?"

"You think so?"

Hyson nodded.

"I've been feeling like something was wrong but I couldn't understand what. Now, that you have mentioned it, it seems he really has boring clothes."

"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk." Hyson tsked at her as he gave her a pointed look. "What kind of a wife are you? Look at your clothes and then look at your husband's. Can you see the difference?"

"No one will call you a mute if you won't talk for a minute."
