Chapter 563 - Cute Little Demon

After hanging up the call with Raelle, Hyson had a helpless smile on his face but that hint of worry between his brows couldn't be overlooked. He continued to stare at his phone screen even though the phone call had long ended. That uneasy feeling in his heart was really bothering him since this morning. 

Taking a deep breath, he took the ointment from the side that his manager gave him earlier and unscrewed the cap. He wasn't lying to Raelle when he said that mosquitoes played him well last night. Looking at his forearm littered with mosquito bites, he pouted unhappily. These mosquito bites on his fair skin really didn't look good.

He was always such a good boy. Why did he have to suffer through this torture?

Everyone on the set was having a snack break, so Hyson took this time to close his eyes wearing his earphones. The soothing voice of his voice rang into his ears making his heart settle back a little. One couldn't possibly imagine the amount of gratitude he had towards Shui Xian for giving him such a gift. He had specifically gotten the video converted into audio and saved it into his phone.

These days whenever he was down, he'd just listen to his mom's voice. It had a calming effect. Just like when he used to lay down in her lap and act spoiled with her. Just like she was warm and gave him a comfortable feeling, her voice had the same magic to it. Perhaps, that's the magic mothers were supposed to have.

"Hi!"

Hyson felt someone tapping on his shoulder and opened his eyes to look at Sora. She waved at him with a smile and sat down beside him. Hyson pulled out his earphones and sat up straight. 

"Is everything okay?" asked Sora.

"Yes," he answered.

"You look distracted," she pointed out.

Hyson shook his head, "I was a bit distracted. But now I'm fine." Now, he had already heard Raelle's voice, so he wasn't that lost in his last night's dream. It was just a dream anyway. He shouldn't be thinking about it all that much. 

"You should go back to the hotel to rest for today," said Sora. "I heard from your manager that you had a fever last night."

Hyson shook his head, "It wasn't really a fever. She was just overreacting." His body temperature was just higher than normal. It definitely wasn't a fever. But his manager didn't think so. 

"Anyway, you don't have any scene for today," stated Sora. "You should just go back and rest."

Hyson was originally hesitating but then he thought of something and nodded. Since he decided to go back to rest, he didn't sit here any longer. After saying goodbye to Sora, he got up to leave. The hotel wasn't that far from the shooting set. He arrived within 15 minutes. Going straight to his room, he connected his phone to the portable speaker and played the same recording of his mother's voice again.

Then he turned on his laptop and searched through the piles of photos he had collected over the years. And finally found the ones Raelle had asked for. He sent the photos to her and his mission was accomplished. Of course, he only chose to come back so soon because he had to do what Raelle had said. 

While holding his phone, he came to the balcony and sat down on the chair. He was scrolling through his WeChat and came across Huang Shuyi's post. In the photo, he was having lunch with a lady. But there were two things that caught Hyson's attention. The first one was the lady he was eating with. Wasn't she the one he bumped into the other day? Of course, his memory wasn't that bad to forget her already.

Even more surprising was seeing Raelle and Shui Xian in the background. Even though it was just their side profiles, Hyson still recognized them. He shook his head at how small the world was.

*Ring!*

Hyson was annoyed to see who was calling him and didn't want to pick up but he still gave in. He took his sweet time but he still picked up the call.

"What is it?"

"How are you, little Fai?"

"Who are you to call me little Fai? Call my name properly!"

Zhai Yanjun didn't pay heed to his temper. In his life, Hyson had suddenly taken the place of a kitten. And he loved teasing this kitten whenever he could.

"Hey! I'm asking about your health?"

"Even if I'm dead what does that have to do with you?"

"Why say such unlucky things? You have to live for at least a hundred years. So, that I can keep annoying you!"

Hyson snorted, "Do you anything important to say?"

"Yes," replied Zhai Yanjun in amusement. "Guess where I am?"

Hyson didn't even have to think before he said, "You came to stick to my mother and called me to show off? What are you a 3 year old? Why do you love this petty game anyway?"

Zhai Yanjun was having fun listening to Hyson's sour tone, "Oh, because I love it when you act like this." He took a pause and added, "Besides, I have to take advantage of your absence and steal my Ayi from you."

Hyson sneered, "That's my mum! She will always be mine! Why don't you go and bother yours?!"

Zhai Yanjun went quiet when he heard that. Hyson also pressed his lips together when he realized what he said. Even though he didn't know much about Zhai Yanjun's family situation, he did know that he didn't have a good relationship with his mother.

"Right," sighed Zhai Yanjun after a moment of silence. "Why don't I go bother my own mother? Well, I guess it's because I like yours more."

"Shameless!"

"I'm learning it from you!"

"The effort you have been putting in to annoy me," started Hyson. "If you had used even half of it on your ex-girlfriend, you'd have been married already and would be living a happy life. Instead of looking like a sad ghost!"

"Can you speak nicely?" asked Zhai Yanjun.

"I have nothing nice to say to you," retorted Hyson. "And am I wrong? Put your hand on your heart and say you did your best to save that relationship? Can you do it?"

"I so want to squish you right now!"

"Why?"

"Because I can't bring myself to beat you little cute demon!"

"Well, guess what? I have no such scruples about you. Since you are not cute at all!"

If someone asked Zhai Yanjun why he was having this pointless argument, he'd just happily say that he was enjoying it. He seemed to have become fond of quibbling with Hyson and everytime, he felt like they were getting close.. This cute little demon was exactly what he needed in his life right now.
