Chapter 806 Good For You

"So, this cute guy is called Coco," Xiang Wai held the face of the dog in her hands as she continued to talk. It could be seen that she was experienced in dealing with pets. And the fact that she genuinely liked Coco couldn't be hidden. She looked at Lin Zhen and commented, "Your Coco is a very good dog."

Lin Zhen felt a little proud when he heard her complimenting Coco. So, he smiled as he rubbed Coco's head. But Coco was more interested in Xiang Wai who gave him a comfortable feeling than his own owner whom he saw every single day.

It was staying true to the phrase, 'Loving the new and despising the old.'

Lin Zhen felt like his heart was broken by his lovely Coco. How much did he love Coco and now he was being despised like this?

Hyson really wanted to stay quiet but he just couldn't stop himself from speaking after seeing this scene. "Zhen Ge, it's just a dog. You're acting like your girlfriend cheated on you."

"FAI!"

Hyson stepped back and raised his hands in surrender, "I'm not cursing you."

"There is no point in saying that," said Lin Zhen. "I'm already cursed."

"Huh?" Hyson's curiosity piqued. Usually, he wouldn't be nosy about his group mates' personal lives unless they wanted to share things with him. He won't take the initiative to inquire about such things. But now he wanted to confirm something, "Zhen Ge, your girlfriend already cheated on you?"

Lin Zhen looked at Hyson and sighed, "It has happened. And not just once."

Hyson's mouth opened wide in disbelief. This was really a shocker to him. To him, Lin Zhen was a very mature and good-tempered guy. He came from a good family. He was good-looking, talented, very caring, and dependable. He was the pillar of their group and that's why they all chose him as their leader and never regretted it in all these years.

Lin Zhen did his best to look out for all the members of their group. There was a reason why Hyson respected him and listened to him. And it wasn't easy for anyone to get Hyson's respect and admiration. So, it could be seen how nice of a person Lin Zhen was.

And that's why it was so unbelievable to Hyson that someone actually cheated on Lin Zhen. And not just once as well. Hyson suddenly didn't know how to react. He went too far with his joke. So, he didn't take a minute to accept his mistake.

"Sorry, Zhen Ge," said Hyson. "I shouldn't have said that."

Lin Zhen chuckled when he noticed how guilty Hyson looked and ruffled his hair, "Silly! Who said I'm upset? Besides, it didn't even hurt as much when my partners cheated on me as it hurts when my own dog loves someone else more than me. I'm still processing the unhealthy attachment my Coco has with Mr. Shui."

"I suddenly feel very bad for you," said Hyson.

Xiang Wai didn't mean to hear but she ended up hearing everything. She stood up and faced Lin Zhen, "I don't plan on stealing your Coco. It's just that dogs had always been very close to me. Even in my Base when a new dog comes and acts unruly, someone would call me for help. Coco is a lot milder than those military dogs. And a lot cuter as well."

"Don't worry about it," said Lin Zhen. "I can't possibly stop Coco from liking other people."

"Yes, you can't," added Hyson. "That'd make you a very possessive man. Don't be that man! It's not a good trait to have."

Lin Zhen gave him a look, "You're very possessive as well."

Hyson cleared his throat, "Yeah. But I know my limits."

"Do you now?" was Lin Zhen's response. He shook his head when Hyson didn't speak and said, "How long are you staying?"

"At least until Ellie is not discharged," answered Hyson.

Lin Zhen nodded his head, "Then I'll contact you in a couple of days. Let's get together with everyone and have dinner?"

"Sure," replied Hyson.

Lin Zhen nodded his head. "Coco, let's go home now."

Coco looked unwilling as she stared at Xiang Wai with his clear eyes but in the end, the love for his owner won over everything, and barked at Xiang Wai before walking back to Lin Zhen.

"Bye to you too!" Xiang Wai happily waved at Coco. Once Lin Zhen and Coco were gone, she noticed Hyson looking at her and said, "What? Dogs love me, okay?"

Hyson nodded his head, "Good for you."

"What do you mean by that?"

"What? I said good for you," Hyson was confused why she was mad. Did he say something wrong here?

"I heard it like you said, good for you at least dogs likes you," said Xiang Wai.

Hyson laughed at her and poked her head saying, "Major, that's in your head. Not mine. I say what I have on my mind. I'm not someone who likes to say something and mean something else. If I was that kind of a person, Ellie would have never been my best friend. So, you better get this straight. When I said, good for you. That was my only thought. Nothing else. Stop hurting yourself with your own thoughts, it's not healthy." He took a pause and added, "In fact, most of our problems are created by our own self. By overthinking. So, you should really get rid of this habit."

Xiang Wai frowned at him and asked again, "You really didn't mean it?"

"I didn't," answered Hyson as he started walking towards the house.

Xiang Wai followed him and asked, "Then why do you keep annoying me?"

"Because you're the easiest person to tick off in the Xiang family," answered Hyson very honestly. Xiang Wai's expressions changed but Hyson didn't care as he continued, "I've been trying to annoy Ellie for years but it's almost impossible to get a reaction from her. You on the other hand are very easy."
