Chapter 161: Not The End Of The World

Hyson spent a few hours with Raelle's family and Shui Koshing became instantly attached to him. He had been talking to Hyson for hours and still wasn't tired. He thought it was because Hyson was young and it was because of that he had plenty to discuss with him. An old man like him definitely found it interesting to talk to youngsters.

Especially since his own son had long started acting like an elderly. He could hardly talk to Shui Xian in such a comfortable and light-hearted manner. Since Shui Xian always had heavy topics to discuss with him. In fact, he found talking to Raelle even better than talking to his own son.

Shui Xian looked at his father laughing out so happily and whispered to his wife, "Your best friend is really something. I haven't seen my father being so carefree in a long while now."

"Yanyan says, Hyson's innate talent is how easily manages to get chummy with elders around him."

Shui Xian gave a nod of acknowledgment. He had no doubt in those words any longer. He had never seen his father finding such an instant connection with a stranger before.

"Now, I'm really curious to listen to all your music," said Shui Koshing as his gaze had turned gentler towards Hyson.

"I'm a pop star," said Hyson. "Do you really want to hear such type of music? I thought you'd like ballads or classical music."

"How old do you think I am?" retorted Shui Koshing. "I don't understand the art of music and that's why I never found a deep connection with my own son who was deeply in love with music. I'm a person who can listen to anything as long as the melody and lyrics are able to resonate well with my mood."

Hyson gave him a thumbs up, "That's a beautiful philosophy. I don't know why people think music is too deep. It's such a simple language that removes the barriers of age, cultures, and even language. Yet people have made it into a competition now."

"When am I getting a signed copy then?"

"Whenever you want," said Hyson. "In fact, Ellie has all the first signed copies. You can get them from her."

"Those are her albums," said Shui Koshing. "I won't steal stuff from my own daughter now."

"Aiya! But it's not like she ever even opened those albums!"

"I also don't understand this art of music," said Raelle in her defense.

"Ellie, are you sure you chose the right husband then?"

Raelle looked at Shui Xian and nodded her head in confirmation, "I chose the right husband. There is no doubt. Just because our interests don't match doesn't mean he and I are not right for each other. You as the third person really can't pass judgments on my relationship."

Shui Xian smiled at her before he placed his hand on her head and pulled her head over to kiss her head gently. "My wife sure has all the right words."

"Oh, that's because I'm the right person for you," said Raelle without any change in her expressions.

"And here she goes being narcissistic again," remarked Hyson. "Learn to be humble."

"I have a humble best friend like you to compensate for the lack of humbleness in my life."

Hyson almost choked on air at her words and facepalmed himself. "Uncle Shing, are you sure you like this daughter-in-law of yours?"

Shui Koshing gave him a displeased look, "Yue Fai, that's my daughter. Be careful of your words."

Hyson tutted, "Even this family is protective."

"As if you aren't protective when it comes to her," said Shui Xian.

Hyson gave him a toothy grin, "That's my best friend. She is best for me. Obviously, I'd be protective of her." He was quite pleased with himself as he asked, "Ellie, do you know what new hobby Yanyan picked up? She even dragged my mum along. I'm having a very uneasy feeling about it. Especially because Tianyu was being too mysterious about it."

"Yanyan did tell me that she found something interesting to do and it's quite fun but she didn't tell me the details."

"She didn't tell or you didn't bother asking?"

"I didn't ask."

Hyson shook his head at her, "How can you be so indifferent? Do you have any idea how many ants of curiosity are crawling within my heart right now? Who is supposed to help me now?"

"Wait patiently," was Raelle's plain response. "You'll eventually know what those beautiful ladies are up to."

"As if I have any other option," retorted Hyson. His phone chimed and he rummaged it out of his pocket and read the text. "Ellie, Grandpa is inviting your whole family over for dinner. He said since his friend had visited his home for the first time, he can't let him go without a meal. But since his friend already had plans to have a meal with your family, he is refusing to stay. To solve this issue, he is asking you to go over."

He suddenly stood up and tugged at Shui Xian's arm saying, "Xian Ge, get dressed. Hurry up!"

"What's the hurry?" Shui Xian was baffled by his reaction.

"We are having barbeque tonight!" announced Hyson excitedly. "Isn't that an urgent matter? Go and get dressed."

Raelle held her husband's other hand to stop him, "He is dressed appropriately." Then she looked at Shui Koshing and asked, "Bà, are we going over there for dinner?"

"Why are you asking me?"

"You're the elder of the house."

Shui Koshing paused for a moment before he smiled at her, "The orders came from the eldest of our family. Who can refuse Uncle Yu? Of course, we are going over."

Hyson put an arm over Raelle's shoulder as he said, "Ellie, you won't ask whether I got the role in that movie or not?"

"If you don't want to tell me, why would I ask?"

Hyson smiled at her, "I actually didn't hear anything from that side yet."

"Are you anxious?"

Hyson shook his head, "Nope! Since the time you sent me that cake, I realized I don't have anything to be anxious about. It's just one role. It isn't the end of the world!"

"Let's go, kids!" came Shui Koshing's voice who came back after changing his clothes. "Let's not make the elders wait."

"Are we walking over there or driving?" inquired Hyson.

"It's just next door!" said Shui Xian. He took an umbrella from the housemaid and pulled his wife with him saying, "We are definitely walking over in this beautiful weather."

Hyson's lips twitched seeing this married couple, "Xian Ge, I just realized, you're really good at flirting. And you don't let a single chance go."
