Chapter 816 Too Old
"You know this devil doesn't like to repeat herself, right?" asked Raelle. "But considering you're my best friend, I'll repeat myself. There are no ghosts."
Hyson pouted at her, "You just don't believe me."
"I want to laugh," said Raelle out of nowhere.
Hyson stared at her face and said, "I don't believe you."
"See?" replied Raelle. "There are things we both say that is hard to believe."
Hyson made a face at her and rolled his eyes, "You'll just say anything to make a point. Whatever! As long as I believe that I saw a ghost, I don't care about your opinion."
"As you should," she said. "In your life, only your opinion should matter. Even if I'm your best friend, you don't have to go along with me. That won't be fair to you." She took a pause to add, "Yes, you can take my opinion into consideration but at the end of the day, your own thoughts shouldn't be ignored."
"You can stop now," he said. Did he look like he was interested in this deep talk? "Are you done checking your emails? Should I hang up?"
"Why are you so eager to hang up?" asked Raelle.
"Oh, I'm gonna contact the blind date I picked for Xiang Wai and ask him when is he free," replied Hyson.
"You have to get back to shoot," reminded Raelle. "At most, you'll get to be here for a week. Do you have to keep yourself busy with these matchmaking sessions?" Before he could argue, she went, "But then again, what's fun to you is something I can't understand. Please do whatever keeps you happy."
Hyson was happy to hear that and smiled at her in satisfaction.
"So, who did you find for Xiang Weimin?" asked Raelle.
"It's a secret," he replied cheekily.
"Why don't you just say you still have no idea? Why are you fooling everyone?"
Hyson tsked at that, "These things should be kept between us. You don't have to be so blunt and say it out loud. I'm looking, okay? It's not that easy. Especially because I don't know all that many girls."
"Fine," said Raelle. "By the way, where is Yanyan?"
"Oh, she is not home," answered Hyson. "She went out early in the morning. She said she is meeting an old friend. And she was actually very excited and took her sweet time getting ready before leaving. Who do you think she is seeing?"
"As if you and I know her friends," said Raelle.
"True," agreed Hyson. "Then why am I asking?"
"Because you like to waste time. Yours and mine as well," was Raelle's response.
"Oh, I'm gonna tell you in advance," said Hyson. "My group members want to visit you when they learned that you've been in an accident. But I told them to wait until you're discharged. So, once you come home, I'll call them over. Be mentally prepared."
"You are really treating me like a patient now."
"Because you are a patient!"
He shook his head at her. He was just casually telling her that the guys wanted to visit her but in reality, last night he was given a long lecture by all the members. They all said he only called them brothers but didn't treat them as one otherwise, he'd have told them about something so important. Hyson was besieged by those wolves who howled in her ear for an hour.
At that time, he was even questioning himself why did he even tell Lin Zhen about Raelle's accident? He created trouble for himself.
"I'm hanging up now," said Hyson.
"So, no movie night?" asked Raelle once again.
Hyson glared at her, "If you promise to watch animation with me, I'll be right there right now. But if it's horror, then I'm sorry I'm gonna make a run for my life." Before she could say anything, he added, "And no! Ice cream is not good enough to lure me anymore! I refuse to fall for it again."
"As if I want to feed you ice cream," she said.
She really didn't want to buy him ice cream. His ice cream intake was strictly controlled by her but still, she was not okay with him having ice creams. The doctors really said he was at a risk and should avoid things like ice cream but he refused to listen.
Back when Yue Yue was pregnant with Hyson, she was practically homeless with no money and even no identity of her own. It took a lot of effort to give birth to Hyson but no matter what, Hyson was born a weak child. There were plenty of complications and Yue Yue had to work even extra hard to raise him like a normal child.
But some things can't be helped. Although he was considered healthy, there were hidden dangers regarding his health that still worried everyone. By training with Raelle, his body had become stronger than it was when he was a child. However, no one was willing to take risks with his health.
"You already don't let me eat ice cream," he reminded. "Every time I say I want to eat two scoops, you only buy me one. How stingy!"
"I don't even wanna talk about that with you," said Raelle. "By the way, animations are for kids! Grow up!"
Hyson stuck out his tongue at her, "You're never too old for cartoons."
"Okay, scram now!"
Hyson tsked, "You must be done with your emails now. So, you're discarding me like a used tissue!"
"If I wanted to discard you, you wouldn't be here right now." With that, she hung up the call.
Hyson looked at the black screen and raised his brows before typing a message, "As if getting rid of me is that easy? You, Raelle Xiang, might be mighty but still, you lost. Aren't I still in your life? Whether you like it or not, I'll still be here." With a smug smile, he clicked the send button and whistled as he leaned back to close his eyes for a moment to rest.
