Chapter 444 - Good Boy

"You came again to steal my mother?" Hyson poked Zhai Yanjun's stomach when he found the chance to do so. He knew this man was up to no good!

Zhai Yanjun was in a good mood and his mood got even better when he heard Hyson's disgruntled tone. Giving him a provoking glance, he said, "My Ayi said I can come whenever I feel like it. No one can stop me from coming to see her. Not even you!"

Hyson bared his teeth at him dangerously but Zhai Yanjun was completely unaffected.

"Fai, go and freshen up first. Then hurry down for dinner," instructed Mu Chenyan. "I just checked, everything is almost ready. I'm gonna make some grilled fish for you and then we'll eat together."

"I was supposed to have dinner at Ellie's place though," said Hyson.

'Stop always going over to her place.' Hyson frowned as he noticed what his mother was saying. 'She is married now. It's not good for you to go over to her place every other day.'

Hyson scoffed, "It's Xian Ge who invited me over. Why can't I go?" He took a pause and added, "And what do you mean by I can't meet her just because she is married? What's wrong with going to see my best friend? Uncle Shing doesn't mind."

'Just because your Uncle Shing doesn't mind doesn't mean you should be shameless.'

"Well, I am shameless," replied Hyson as he spread out his hands helplessly. "You can't do anything about it."

Mu Chenyan chuckled at his reaction and pulled Yue Yue away, "Stop always nagging him like an old mother. I know you're old but don't be so naggy now."

'Who are you calling naggy?' Yue Yue's eyes breathed fire. She would have exploded if she could speak right now. 

Mu Chenyan ruffled her hair, unbothered by her anger. In fact, she found this anger to be quite adorable. It was like someone stepped on a kitten's tail and all her hairs stood up vigilantly.

"I'm calling you naggy," Mu Chenyan didn't even bother changing her words. "There is nothing wrong with Fai going to see Raelle every now and then. You and I both know how Koshing is, he would never say that Fai comes over way too much."

Yue Yue couldn't deny those words. It was indeed like that. 

"Besides, our Fai is so adorable," commented Mu Chenyan. "No one can possibly dislike him. He knows how to capture all the love."

Meanwhile, Zhai Yanjun looked at Hyson, "Xian called you over for dinner?"

Hyson nodded his head, "Yes."

"Are you going?"

"Not anymore," replied Hyson. 

"Why? Wanna keep an eye on me?" Zhai Yanjun teased him. "Afraid that I'll take away your mum?"

Hyson scoffed at him, "Feeling smug, are we now?" He rolled his eyes at Zhai Yanjun, "I don't have to keep an eye on you. My mum would never leave me."

"Such faith in her?" Zhai Yanjun sounded bitter as he added, "It must feel good to have such trust in your mother."

Hyson narrowed his eyes at Zhai Yanjun and changed the topic, "Anyway, as I said, I won't be going. I'm a good boy. Opa says we should never be disrespectful to guests. Since you are here, I can't possibly give you a cold shoulder even if I want to."

"You're a good boy?" Zhai Yanjun was quite amused to hear that.

"I am," replied Hyson proudly. "And I'm not lying. Even if you bring Ellie to my position, as long as you're a guest, she will be respectful to you. Until or unless you don't do anything to provoke her."

"Who would dare provoke the landmine like her?" retorted Zhai Yanjun subconsciously. 

Hyson narrowed his eyes at him dangerously, "Think before speaking about my best friend."

"You're really overbearing," commented Zhai Yanjun. He wrapped his arm around Hyson's neck and said, "But I thought we parted on good terms last night. And we had such a good time at the amusement park as well. I took such good care of you as well. But now, I feel like somehow provoked you."

"You think it's that easy to digest that you're my brother?" Hyson muttered to himself in a low voice that only he could hear. "It'll take me some time to digest this face of yours."

Zhai Yanjun touched his face, "I believe I am quite handsome. My features are quite pleasing to the eye and very easy to digest."

"Delusional!" retorted Hyson.

"Fai!"

"Yes, Opa!" Hyson straightened up immediately as he heard Grandfather Xiang calling him.

"Be nice to our guest," reminded Grandfather Xiang.

"Yes, Opa!" 

Zhai Yanjun smiled at them and said, "You really respect Granduncle, eh?"

"He is one of the most important people to me," replied Hyson. "How can I not respect him? I admire him the most as well. And he has taught me so much that mum could never do. His presence is really precious to me."

Zhai Yanjun hummed as he nodded, "I can see that all."

"Fai, do you know why Xian called you over?" asked Grandfather Xiang feeling curious. 

"I don't know," replied Hyson. "I just got the text when we were fishing. He asked me to have dinner at his place." He pondered a bit before adding, "But if I have to guess, it must be that Ellie must have bought something for mum and Yanyan. Now, she is gonna use me as a delivery man."

It had to be said that he really knew his best friend down to the core. Just from the fact that Raelle had gone shopping today, he already was certain that she bought something for those two ladies. And he wasn't wrong either. Raelle indeed had been planning on using him as a delivery man to take the things she bought for them.

"But it's not Raelle asking you to come over," reminded Grandfather Xiang.

"Oh, that's right," nodded Hyson. "It's Xian Ge who called me over. Then it must be related to me." He scratched his head, "I can't think of anything."

Grandfather Xiang shook his head, "Then after dinner, you should go over. Don't let your brother-in-law down." He operated his wheelchair and moved towards the kitchen, "I'm gonna see what the ladies are up to. Keep our guest company."

"Don't worry! I'll take good care of him!" Saying that Hyson gave Zhai Yanjun a frightening look.

"Don't scare me with that look," said Zhai Yanjun.

"What scare? Is this enough to scare you?" asked Hyson. "With that uniform on, you even dare to be scared of a little me? How am I as a civilian supposed to feel protected with soldiers as fearful as you? How am I supposed to have faith in my national security?"

Zhai Yanjun lifted his hand and patted Hyson's shoulder, "Calm down tiger!"

"How am I supposed to calm down?" retorted Hyson. "I suddenly feel unprotected knowing there are scaredy cats in our army."

"Don't look down on me like that," said Zhai Yanjun. "Gosh! You're so dramatic!"

"Yes, I am," agreed Hyson. "Did you just notice?"

"Yeah," replied Zhai Yanjun. "Oh, by the way, you still smell like fish."

Hyson gave him a dirty look before he smirked and lifted his shirt and put it over Zhai Yanjun's head saying, "Then take this! I'm gonna kill you with this smell."

"Ah! Fai!" yelled Zhai Yanjun. It was only because that Zhai Yanjun had better skills that he managed to escape from Hyson's paws. He glared at Hyson, "Are you a kid? Why so childish?"

"I just am," replied Hyson. "Who told you to complain that I smell like fish?"

"What? Are you gonna go over to Xian's place like this as well?"

"No," said Hyson. "I'm gonna wash up before going there."

"Then why don't you just wash up now?"

"Because I want to annoy you."

Zhai Yanjun felt helpless when he heard that. Hyson was doing it just to annoy him but why did he not find it annoying now? He actually felt like he was enjoying this petty squabble a lot. It made him feel free and relaxed. He seemed to be getting addicted to this kind of feeling.

He tsked at Hyson, "I see you put Xian in a higher position than me."

"Wasn't it obvious already?" asked Hyson. "Xian Ge is my idol. And then he is even my Ellie's husband! Do you realize what kind of a position that is? He is the most awesome person to me. What are you? Why should I like you when you keep getting close to my mum? And she is even biased towards you."

"Woah! You don't even mince your words," said Zhai Yanjun. "What if I am hurt by what you just said?" 

Hyson shrugged his shoulders, "You're a big boy. I believe you can handle this much."

"I seriously can't understand you," commented Zhain Yanjun as he sighed to himself.. He honestly couldn't understand Hyson at all.
