Chapter 555 - One-Sided

Although when Xiang Wai met Raelle last time, the latter wasn't hostile to her, however, it was still weird for her to think that Raelle would be friendly to her either. She hadn't forgotten what her brother told her about this younger sister.

Then why was this woman waving at her right now with that fake smile of hers? 

Now if Major Xiang Wai was being honest, you'd know that she actually found Raelle's attempt at smiling friendly quite adorable. As for the reason? She didn't know herself. She just thought her sister was cute and that thought definitely align with what she had been hearing about Raelle.

"President Raelle?" 

Xiang Wai snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Huang Shuyi calling out to Raelle. She turned her head to look at this friend of hers and her eyes narrowed.

Hearing his voice, even Shui Xian looked up from the menu and turned towards him. 

Huang Shuyi gave him a nod as a greeting, "Master Xian!"

Shui Xian's eyes actually fell on Xiang Wai first. But he couldn't be blamed for that. Xiang Wai's presence was hard to ignore just like Raelle. They both had different auras and personalities but one thing was certain, they both demanded attention.

"Oh hi, Huang Shuyi," said Shui Xian. 

Huang Shuyi stepped closer to their table and said, "It's a pleasant surprise running into you both here."

"I think we should be one saying that," stated Raelle. "I heard you're staying with that talent show crew these days. So, it's really a surprise to see you here."

Huang Shuyi was surprised when Raelle said that. "President Raelle is really well-informed."

"Hyson likes to talk," was Raelle's response as if that was enough to explain everything and it actually was. "And when I say he likes to talk, I mean he really likes to talk."

Huang Shuyi's brows knitted together slightly, "That comes as a surprise to me though. Little Fai had never been that fond of talking since we met him."

Raelle didn't explain to him that the chatterbox would never stop talking once he was around her. Yes, she certainly knew that he wasn't like that with everyone. Even if he was close to someone, he'd still not talk as much as he did with her. Ironically, words were never needed between them.

"I heard you love to sleep off your time off," said Shui Xian. "Should I be concerned as your boss that you're awake right now?"

"Shouldn't you be happy about that?" asked Huang Shuyi.

Shui Xian shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "If I'm forcing you to bring a change within you, that certainly makes me an evil boss."

Huang Shuyi chuckled at that. He was actually casual talking to these two bigshots. Unlike Lin Zhen, he wasn't really scared of their authority. For one, he knew these two weren't unreasonable. So, there was no need to be so cautious around them. And two, they had been pretty easygoing over the dinner last time. They were the ones who asked them to talk to them casually.

"I won't say that," said Huang Shuyi. "I'd have actually loved to sleep. It's just that a high school classmate of mine was getting married today and he invited me. I couldn't refuse."

"You came over for the wedding of a high school classmate?" asked Raelle. Seeing him nod, she added, "Was it not fun? Why are you already out?"

"I think I'd have more fun at President Raelle's wedding," said Huang Shuyi without any hesitation. "And it'll be even more special once I'll be the one singing."

"Are you right now recommending yourself as the wedding singer?" asked Raelle in interest. She actually quite liked this guy who seemed to have no filter on his mouth like her. He wasn't as cautious as others and did things the way he liked. He was exactly how Hyson said he was.

"Yes, I am," he nodded his head with a grin.

"You're not getting paid for it," said Shui Xian from the side with a smirk on his face.

Huang Shuyi sighed, "Now, you're being stingy."

"How is that being stingy? I'm being economical here. It means to plan for the future. If I pay so much on just my wedding singer, how will I bring my wife home?"

Huang Shuyi tsked at him, "Your wife is already at home." He turned his head to Xiang Wai as she finally came to stand beside him after much contemplation and introduced, "Oh, this is my best friend, Xiang Wai."

"Best friend?" questioned Shui Xian as he was wondering just how small the world was? 

Hyson was Raelle's best friend and Huang Shuyi was Hyson's bandmate and now, Xiang Wai was Huang Shuyi's best friend. The world is really a complicated place. But the thought that the world was getting smaller and smaller actually gave him an uneasy feeling for some inexplicable reason.

"Who is your best friend?" grumbled Xiang Wai.

Huang Shuyi rolled his eyes, "Yes, yes. This friendship is one-sided." He didn't know what else to say. It was infuriating how Xiang Wai just had to go against him at every turn. 

Shui Xian feigned a cough to disguise his laughter that was threatening to burst out. It couldn't be helped actually. That one-sided friendship comment just got to him. He had heard it before from Raelle and Hyson and let's face it, there was nothing one-sided in their friendship. And if they insist there was, then these people really didn't know the meaning of what a one-sided friendship was.

"Well, hello, Major!" said Raelle calmly.

"Hello to you too, little sister!"

Xiang Wai's lips curled up when she said it. She was actually waiting for a reaction. She was hoping for her to say that she had no right to call her a sister. However, she was bound to be disappointed. In the end, the truth was that Xiang Weimin was right.. Raelle would never deny the relationship they shared.
