Chapter 376 - Sunshine
Hyson scratched the back of his head when he noticed the other man and waved at him, "Hi! I didn't see you there."
Zhai Kuijun stared at Hyson for a long while intently. He never thought his presence was so lacking that someone would be able to ignore him so blatantly. But it seemed he was wrong. This young man really didn't realize that he had been sitting here all along.
"Uncle, this is Yue Fai," introduced Xiang Weimin. "And Fai, that's Yanjun's father, Zhai Kuijun."
"Yue Fai?" repeated Zhai Kuijun softly. Something came to the mind that made him smile to himself.
"Uncle, Fai is the one who saved my life," Xiang Weimin told Zhai Kuijun."Ah!" Zhai Kuijun stood up and walked over to Hyson. "Young man, we owe you big."
"I didn't save him," answered Hyson. "It just happened. Really! No big deal at all."
"How about you sit down for some tea with me while Weimin is having lunch?" suggested Zhai Kuijun.
"Okay," agreed Hyson since he had no problem with it.
Zhai Kuijun poured him a cup of tea as he spoke, "I know you young people don't really enjoy tea that much."
"I am not that particular about things in life," said Hyson nonchalantly. "It's just tea." He took a cup and smelled it with his eyes closed, taking a sip he said, "Oh, this is West Lake Longjing. Good tea. Really good tea."
Zhai Kuijun's brows raised up slightly, "You even recognized the tea. It seems you really enjoy it."
"Not really," answered Hyson truthfully. "Opa loves tea. I just like to give him some company."
Zhai Kuijun nodded his head. His eyes were still stuck to Hyson's face. It was difficult to explain what was on his mind but for some reason, looking at Hyson gave him a very familiar feeling. But he was certain that they have never met before this day. And that's what made it even more complicated to him. Why did he find this young man so familiar?
And exactly what kind of familiarity was it that he felt?
"You're Jun's friend?" asked Zhai Kuijun.
Hyson shook his head honestly, "Nope. I just met him because of my best friend."
"Oh..."
"And since he is Xian Ge's friend, we can be considered acquaintances," added Hyson.
"Xian?" asked Zhai Kuijun in surprise. "You know Shui Xian?"
"Of course, I know Xian Ge," answered Hyson. "He is awesome. Who doesn't know him? Only an idiot won't know Master Xian." He suddenly slapped his mouth when he recalled that his own best friend actually had no clue about who Master Xian was. "Oh, Lieutenant!"
"Hm?"
"When are you discharging?"
"In a couple of days," said Xiang Weimin.
"Oh, that's good. I'm gonna join shooting probably from next week so I won't have time to visit you again."
"That's okay," replied Xiang Weimin. "You don't have to go out of your way to come and see me here."
"I'm not doing it for you," said Hyson. "I have my own reasons."
"Oh-okay." Xiang Weimin didn't know what else to say.
"Shooting?" asked Zhai Kuijun. "Are you an actor?"
"No," replied Hyson. "I'm an idol! A singer!"
"Is that why you're dressed like a thief?"
Hyson looked down at his all-black attire. Since he wanted to decrease the chances of being recognized, he actually came out in a plain black tracksuit. He was wearing a cap and is hoodie over it. And only took off his mask and glasses, after he came to the hospital room.
"I do look suspicious like this, don't I?"
*Ring*
Hyson looked at his phone and stood up, "I have to take this call. I'll be back." With that, he walked out of the room.
"He..." Zhai Kuijun started but couldn't continue. In fact, he didn't know what words he was supposed to choose to describe Hyson.
"He is like sunshine," Xiang Weimin spoke up. "Isn't he, Uncle?"
Zhai Kuijun looked over at Xiang Weimin and nodded his head, "Yeah, he is like sunshine."
"That's why he fascinates me so much from the moment I met him," said Xiang Weimin. "You know when I met him I was almost frozen to death. But the way he looked so relaxed even at that time, really surprised me. Not only that, even in that situation, he was smiling from his heart and joking around."
"The real reason why he fascinates you so much is that he is a complete opposite of you," was Zhai Kuijun's response. "But there is no doubt that he is indeed like sunshine. He seems like someone who knows how to draw attention to himself from the people around him."
"He is a chatterbox," said Xiang Weimin. "It's hard to believe that he is a celebrity. And a very famous one at that too."
"You and Jun both should spend more time around him," suggested Zhai Kuijun. "That might help in getting rid of the depressing aura you both always have around you."
"We are not that depressing," argued Xiang Weimin.
Zhai Kuijun snickered at him. "Weimin, what makes you happy?"
"My happiest moments are when I am flying in the sky," answered Xiang Weimin without even thinking.
"Ask this question to your new friend, his answer will surprise you."
Xiang Weimin frowned at him but he still kept his words in mind. He was actually suddenly curious to hear an answer from Hyson. So, when Hyson came back, he did ask him.
"You're asking me what makes me happy?" Hyson repeated his question. "I'm pretty happy right now."
"Why?" asked Xiang Weimin.
Hyson frowned at that question. "Why? Do I need to have a reason to be happy? Isn't it enough that I'm breathing?"
Xiang Weimin's eyes widened in surprise when he heard that.
"Is that really enough?"
"Of course," answered Hyson. "And the fact that I can actually feel this happiness is also another reason to be happy for. Some people are not even able to understand happiness." And he clearly was talking about Raelle when he said that last sentence.
"You're too optimistic," remarked Xiang Weimin.
Hyson shook his head, "Not really. I am just realistic.. But being realistic doesn't mean I need to find reasons to be happy."
