Chapter 669 Twins

Chapter 669 Twins　　Such a handsome idol should look handsome crying but Hyson definitely didn't look like it. If anything, he was shedding ugly tears and he wailed loudly.

While Shui Xian was surprised, Raelle wasn't. She seemed to have expected such a reaction from Hyson. 

"Are you here for a funeral? Why are you crying so much?"

Hearing Raelle's question, Hyson looked at her and glared at her through his tear-filled eyes. He looked anything but scary at the moment. That pout of his didn't really help his cause either. It only made him look more like a kid who had been wronged by his parents and wanted to do something about it. Yet, the kid was also helpless before his parents.

"What?" asked Raelle seeing his reaction. "I'm just saying, people, don't even cry at funerals these days. And you're not even at a funeral. Stop crying already."

"Jiejie!" Sniffled Hyson, "Do you know how scared I had been? I thought it was just a dream and if I didn't pay attention to it, it'll go away. But it didn't go away. It got worse." Saying that he hugged her while crying even louder than before.

Shui Xian stared at Hyson and caught on to the most important point. Hyson had a dream about Raelle and that's why he was here so unexpectedly. Who would have thought?

He suddenly recalled something that Hyson once told him. He was Raelle's soulmate. At that time, he found it quite funny but now... He looked at Hyson once again. It seemed this soulmate was real. His sixth sense was too strong as well.

"What if I had lost you?"

"But you didn't," replied Raelle while patting his head to calm him down. "I'm still here. Alive and kicking."

"But I lost..." Hyson stopped himself mid-sentence. He didn't want to remind her again of the loss of her child. Even he was still trying to make sense of that. How could he remind her of that again?

Raelle could literally see what was running through his mind. As always, they could really read each other's silence and that's why she knocked on his head, "It could have been a nephew."

Hyson gaped at her. Inside his mind, he was indeed thinking about how he lost his niece but she could really see all his thoughts.

He shook his head and insisted, "It was a niece. Trust me. When it comes to you, I'm never wrong." 

Raelle didn't argue with him over the gender of the child she lost. It was pointless. Whether a daughter or a son, it was already lost now. She extended her hand towards Shui Xian who immediately put a tissue into her hand. See? Even he was beginning to understand something without her saying it out loud.

Raelle wiped Hyson's tears saying, "How old are you? Why cry like this? Aren't you embarrassed?"

Hyson sniffled again, "Why would I be? Jiejie has seen me in worse conditions."

Raelle recalled Hyson's most embarrassing moments in life and nodded, "Indeed, I've seen too much." She rubbed his eyes a little harder as she added, "But you should still stop crying."

"Jiejie also cried," he said certainly. His tone didn't leave any room for an argument. It was a statement! "Did it hurt a lot that you cried?"

"Who cried?" asked Raelle. "It was my eyes. They were just leaking." Then she pointed at Shui Xian and went on, "And it's because of my husband. He cried and my eyes leaked with him."

Hyson looked at Shui Xian and then at her before saying, "How is Xian Ge crying connected to you?"

"Didn't you hear? A marriage binds the soul and body of a couple. The husband and wife become one. It means if he cries, I'll naturally cry."

Hyson gave her a look, "It happens rarely but Jiejie, you're logic is pretty far-fetched."

"But it makes sense," insisted Raelle.

"Not really," replied Hyson. "That kind of a connection exists in twins. Like if one is crying, the other feels like crying. One is hurting, the other feels the pain as well. One is in danger, the other senses it too. It's the kind of connection we as soulmates share."

"You're not my twin," said Raelle.

"Says who?" argued Hyson. He put his face beside Raelle and looked at Shui Xian, "Xian Ge, don't we look alike? Just like twins?"

Shui Xian smiled slightly and nodded his head.

Raelle looked at her husband, "Really? Why are you lying, Hubby?"

"I'm not," said Shui Xian. "Yes, you both don't look alike but apart from that, everything about you two is like you're twins."

Hyson grinned at turned to Raelle, "See? You're born to be my Jiejie. There is no way around that!" He was very happy as he said it. He loved it when someone else agreed with him that he was Raelle's brother. He won't ever have it any other way. Putting his head on her shoulder, he said in a soft voice, "I'm really sorry, Jiejie."

"Now, what are you apologizing for?" asked Raelle. 

"If I had told you about my recurrent dream, you might not have gotten hurt," he breathed out heavily.

"And who can guarantee that?" inquired Raelle. "Don't be so thoughtless now. If dreams could save someone's life..." She didn't continue that thought but said, "Anyway, dreams can only be a sign but they can't possibly save lives. Besides, we are mere mortals. How are we supposed to know where the danger is lying? We can't always avoid the danger even if we know where the danger lies."

"Human lives are that fragile," commented Hyson. "But isn't that unfair?"

"No, that's what makes life so precious to people," was Raelle's answer. "The precious the jade is, the more we protect it. But if it's any other sturdy rock, we will just throw it around without a care." She took a pause and added, "Anyway, thank you for coming. It's good to see you here."

Hyson was quiet for a moment before he said, "How can I not come? Even if my dream was all wrong, I'd still come running."

"I know," was her reply.
