Chapter 984: Flexible

Chapter 984: FlexibleJust hearing that they were a beautiful couple was enough for Shui Xian to become gentler to the girl. He found it quite amusing how he was receiving such wishes from a complete stranger and that too with such an earnest expression.          

"I also think we make a beautiful couple," said Shui Xian playfully.    

Raelle looked at him but didn't say anything. Meanwhile, the girl before him was first surprised but then she smiled widely at his words and nodded, "There is no doubt about that."    

The other three girls who were still standing at their original spot also mustered up their courage and come over when they saw how easy it was to talk to Shui Xian. But Raelle definitely didn't seem easy to them so they focused on Shui Xian instead.    

"Gege, you said you're not good with words but we don't agree," said the tall girl. "You're very good with words. You're not giving yourself enough credit here. You managed to make this gorgeous Jiejie get on her knee before you, you should have some more faith in yourself. Not just anyone is capable of getting a girl on her knee."    

"Gege is awesome!" they all gave him a thumbs-up making Shui Xian didn't know how to react. Why was he suddenly being complimented so much? He didn't even do anything.    

Shui Xian smiled at them and asked, "You all are in high school?"      

"Yes," replied the girls.    

"Then you should be focused on studying," this came from Raelle surprising everyone since she had been silent all this while. "Do you think it's the time when you should be thinking about love?"    

"Jiejie, you're fierce."    

"Really? I think my wife is pretty adorable," said Shui Xian.    

"Tsk. Gege is whipped," said one of the girls. "But then indeed, when in love you only see things the way you want to. I can't blame you for that, Gege."    

"Jiejie, even though you're a bit fierce, I do agree with Gege. You're very adorable. I can say this after seeing the way you proposed. I have never seen someone do it this way. I can feel the love radiating even through the photo."    

"Photo? What photo?" asked Shui Xian.    

The girl bit her tongue before she showed him the photos she clicked with the camera that she wore around her neck.      

"I'm sorry, it's not every day that we get to see such a beautiful couple so I couldn't help it. It's a habit of mine to capture beautiful scenes." How was she supposed to explain that the scene of them standing together was just too pleasing and her inner photographer couldn't help.

Shui Xian took the camera and saw the photos with Raelle. He was actually impressed as he said, "You're good at it. I like this one. What about you, baby?"    

Raelle looked back at him, "Is that the point here?"    

Shui Xian sighed and said to the girl, "You're not supposed to click photos of people without permission."    

"I'm really sorry," the girl sincerely apologized and Shui Xian couldn't bear to say anything else. Especially since he really liked the photos and realized that it had a special meaning to have this moment captured in photos. One day, he'd be able to show off to their kid at how it was his wife who proposed to him.    

"I can send these photos to you," suggested the girl. "We even have a video. I think you'd like to keep this memory. Don't you think, Gege?"    

Shui Xian realized that these girls weren't as innocent as he thought. They knew how to get him.      

"Fine, fine. Just send these things to me," said Shui Xian.      

"Gege is so kind."    

"Don't flatter me," said Shui Xian.      

"But Gege can we keep a couple of photos?" asked another girl. "Our friend here, Luoluo likes to take pictures and she uploads them on her weibo to share with her fans. Can we share your pictures? If you refuse, we won't do it."        

Shui Xian first looked at his wife and when he saw that Raelle didn't refuse, he nodded in agreement, "Okay. You can do it. Although I can't understand why you'd want to do that."    

It's not like it would harm him. Besides, it was just uploading it on this student's weibo. He didn't think it'd have any effect on his life. But oh boy was he wrong about that. He was about to find out that people like them, no matter how low-key would always attract attention.    

Then the girls even wanted to take photos with them as if they were standing with celebrities and wanted to keep this memory. Shui Xian treated them all to bubble tea and they happily parted ways from there.    

He held Raelle's hand as he asked, "Is it just me or you really went along with this troublesome encounter?"    

"They said we are a perfect match. And they wished us to be together for life," said Raelle. "Just for these sincere wishes alone, I can adjust my tolerance to bear with troublesome matters."    

Shui Xian nodded, "You're very flexible these days."    

"If you won't bend, you'll break," she said. "There is no harm in bending."    

"What a marvelous thought, sweetheart!"    

"You know allowing them to upload the photos can really become troublesome for us."    

"Why? Are you scared, wifey?"    

"No," answered Raelle. "I just have to gives a heads-up to my PR team. You should do it too."    

Shui Xian didn't take it seriously but he still listened to his wife and decided to contact his PR team after going back.      

"You won't ask why I allowed it though?"    

"I know already," replied Raelle. "It's written on your face that you want to scream to the whole world right now that I said I love you."    

Shui Xian touched his face, "Is it really that obvious?" She nodded in response. "So, you didn't refuse because you could tell I wanted to share?"    

"If it makes you happy, I don't mind," was her answer.    

As always the words were the same but the effect of these words on his heart hadn't changed even after all this time. She was willing to do something so unlike herself all the time just to make him happy. How could it not touch his heart everytime? He really couldn't take it for granted.
