Chapter 823 Stomachache!

Chapter 823 Stomachache!

Xiang Wai was sweating when she came out of the gym. She went straight to the refrigerator to get some water. While she unscrewed the water bottle and brought it to her lips, she noticed Hyson descending the stairs. He also noticed her and on purpose, gave her a cheeky smile while waving at her.

"Good morning, Major!"

"It's noon already," Xiang Wai pointed out. "Is your day starting now?"

"I think yours is starting now," replied Hyson. "After all, you're the one who just finished the morning workout."

"I've been in the gym since 7 o'clock," Xiang Wai defended herself. She usually wouldn't feel the need to explain herself but this guy really made her... Argh! Whatever! She won't even comment on him.

Hyson looked at the time and raised his brow at her, "Major, it's 11 o'clock now. You've been working out for four hours? Have your brain lost some screw? Or you want your body to break down?"

Xiang Wai rolled her eyes at him, "You don't have to worry about my body. It's fine."

Xiang Weimin lifted his eyes from his iPad once he heard the voices of two 'kids' bickering again. His curiosity got the best of him and he ran to find them. You know, just to spectate it live! He found it really entertaining when these two 'kids' butt heads with each other. He had never seen his sister losing so brutally before.

Even though it wasn't a physical fight, it didn't matter.

Although they all were no match for Hyson's eloquence, Xiang Weimin still had to say that his dear sister became especially dumb in front of Hyson. How could he miss such a scene?

"Yes, she is fine," Xiang Weimin spoke up. "She must be running for so long."

Xiang Wai didn't deny her brother's words.

"Is she planning to run a marathon?" asked Hyson.

"No," replied Xiang Wai. "Why would I take part in a marathon?"

"Right? I shouldn't expect you to do anything for a good cause," retorted Hyson.

"You!" She pointed at Hyson in frustration. "Why are you so thorny?"

"Because I look like a rose," was Hyson's answer. "Look at me, don't I look like a rose? I even smell like one!"

"You? A rose?" Xiang Wai looked him up and down. "Do you have some misunderstanding about yourself?"

"Not at all," replied Hyson. "But you, on the other hand, need to see an ophthalmologist. Your eyes are giving up on you. If you can't even recognize this beautiful rose, then there is definitely something wrong with your eyes."

"So, you can't be wrong, huh?"

Hyson nodded his head, "My Ellie says, if someone tells me I'm wrong, I should bring that person to her. And she'll prove to me that I'm always right! Even when I'm wrong, I'm right! No arguments allowed."

Xiang Wai was once again speechless. Not just at Hyson but also thinking about her own sister who was actually willing to go so far for her best friend.

"By the way, since you ran so much, something must be on your mind?" asked Hyson.

Xiang Wai was taken aback at how easily he caught on. Xiang Weimin only gave Hyson a cursory glance and the corners of his lips arched up. Xiang Weimin felt like Hyson should have been a police officer or something. Seriously, this guy could have seen through the liars in a second. He was just that good at it.

"It must be how to turn down the blind date you just agreed to last night, right?" added Hyson making Xiang Wai's eyes widen even more.

"How do you know that?" she uttered in shock.

Hyson gave her a mysterious look saying, "I even know that you just agreed to that blind date last night on the spur of the moment. But after sleeping it off, you realized how dumb you were acting. Just to piss off your ex, you actually decided to jump into another hole. Then you wondered if it was worth it. And after running for four hours, did you come up with a good excuse?" He raised his brow at her, "You have to offer me at least a good excuse or I won't let you escape the blind date."

Xiang Wai hid behind her brother, "Ge, that guy is scary!"

"Really? I think he is pretty cute," was Xiang Weimin's amused response. "Oh, I should say he is right. He is just like a rose. Gorgeous, intoxicating, and a marvel!"

Xiang Wai looked at her brother, "Whose side are you on?"

"Yours," he replied.

"I don't believe you," said Xiang Wai. Then she turned to look at Hyson who had folded his arms before his chest and looked like he was still waiting for her answer and won't leave this matter unless she really gave him a good excuse. "I... I have a stomachache!" She got confident as she spoke, "Yes, I ate too much so I have a stomachache."

"What are you, five? I didn't even use that excuse to avoid school when I was afraid of the bullies. How can you be so childish to use that excuse on me? Aren't you in special forces? How can you be so bad at it?" Hyson gave her a look of disgust. "Even though Ellie doesn't lie, even she can make up a better story if I ask her to do so. Want to try?"

Xiang Wai stared at him and nodded, "Fine! Let's see if she can really come up with a better excuse. How can you look down at me like this? Raelle doesn't even lie! I don't believe she can come up with something better than this."

Hyson gave her another mysterious smile. How should he tell Major that Raelle had actually been to like 50 blind dates and she managed to get what she wanted every single time! Tsk. Major was really not good at this. He suddenly felt a little bad for her brain cells that had to live with her.
