Chapter 925: [Bonus chapter] Happiest
“You’re going back to join the production set, right?” asked Shui Xian from Hyson.
“Yes,” replied Hyson. “I feel like something is wrong with this production.”
Shui Xian raised his brow at him inquisitively.
“Don’t get me wrong, Xian Ge. But just think about it,” started Hyson. “When I first joined the production, I got into an accident. And when I went back after recovering, our Ellie got into an accident. Don’t you find it weird? And don’t say it can be a coincidence. It can be. Sure. But you never know.”
“I thought you’re not superstitious,” commented Shui Xian.
“You shouldn’t be surprised, husband,” said Raelle. “He is someone who actually believes in ghosts.”
“We are not having this discussion again,” Hyson put his foot down with force. “Whether you like it or not, there are ghosts. Let’s not continue!”
“Stop talking nonsense,” said Raelle. “No matter what you can’t escape now. You signed a contract and your conscience won’t allow you to mess up with the progress of the shooting. So, just be a good boy and get your work done.”
“That’s all I can do,” he replied. “Oh, did I tell you that I’m going for an audition tomorrow?” He suddenly sat straight and scrolled through his phone before sighing in relief, “I completely forgot about the audition. Good thing it’s scheduled past noon. I’ll be able to get back on time. Phew!”
“This is a very good example of how Prince Hyson forgets the world even if it involves his best friend,” joked Shui Xian. “You should be glad I’m clear about your feelings for my wife. If it was anyone else, they’d eat your vinegar all the time and see you with suspicion.”
Hyson shrugged, “But the point is Xian Ge, it isn’t anyone else but you.”
Raelle added, “And it’s because it’s you, husband, that he is willing to act like this.”
Hyson nodded his head, “I might not look like it but I’m very smart and I know when and where to draw the line. You don’t have to worry about that. It’s just that Xian Ge, you’re the best. I don’t feel like drawing a line with you. If anything, I am the happiest that you’re my best friend’s husband. No one could be a better choice than you for her.”
Shui Xian went silent for a moment as he placed his hand on Raelle’s and said, “I feel flattered.”
“Don’t be so humble. Proudly take my compliment. After all, Prince Hyson doesn’t compliment just anyone, okay?”
Both Shui Xian and Hyson ended up laughing at that while Raelle was left staring at these two.
Hyson sighed, “Xian Ge, it’s been a while since you and I sat together like this. Let’s do it more often.” Then he shook his head, “Well, it’s not like we both have that much time. But let’s find time to do this. You’re one of my favorite people in the world. You should know that. If you don’t, I’ll keep reminding you of that.”
“Love the crow and love its house,” said Shui Xian. “Are you following that concept?”
Hyson shook his head, “I think I told you this before, my liking for you have nothing to do with you being Ellie’s husband. Well, it does add a few more points to my liking but I liked you even before that.”
Shui Xian didn’t know how to face Hyson’s undisguised appreciation for him. It was so obvious and unrestrained that Shui Xian didn’t know how to react. See, it was always a bit nerve-wracking to look into Raelle and Hyson’s eyes. For different reasons. Some reasons that he couldn’t even voice out.
They both were too real and left others with complicated feelings.
“Which script did you choose?” asked Ralle.
“You already know,” was Hyson’s response. “There is no way you didn’t know which one I’d choose in the end.”
“How would I know? I’m not a mind reader? How can I know your thoughts?”
Hyson snorted at that, “If you can’t read my thoughts, no one else can.” Rubbing his hands, he asked, “What did you guys do today? After coming here?”
“We prayed, then had lunch, then strolled around this place and saw some interesting scenery. We even wrote wishes on ribbons and tied them to that old tree. Oh, we feed the fish as well. All in all, we had a very busy day,” told Raelle.
“What did you wish for?” asked Hyson curiously. “Don’t tell me you wished for the happiness and health of your family?”
“Wow!” Shui Xian exclaimed in amazement at how Hyson struck at the first ball. This boy was as amazing as ever.
Seeing Shui Xian’s reaction, Hyson rubbed his brows, “You really did that?”
“What’s wrong with it?” she asked. “And who set the rule that I can’t wish for that? It’s up to me, no?”
“You should say that after thinking about it for a long time, you came up with nothing so you chose the safest route for yourself.”
“Hyson.”
“Yes?”
“Shut up!”
“I don’t feel like it.” Hyson looked at Shui Xian, “Why didn’t you say anything?”
“I didn’t see anything wrong with that wish,” replied Shui Xian. “It was so Raelle-like. Something she’d do.”
Hyson gave his friend a look, “Ellie, you’ve become predictable.”
“It’s time for dinner,” announced Shui Xian. “Let’s wash our hands and have something to eat. Especially you, Fai. You need the energy to continue your nonsense.”
“I agree,” said Hyson solemnly. “My energy bar is red. And red means danger. I urgently need to replenish my energy. After that, I’ll deal with you, Ellie.”
“Deal with me?” asked Raelle. “As if you can.”
“Oh, I assure you, only I can!”
“Okay, stop it both of you,” Shui Xian intervened. “Both of you need to stop. We’ll continue this later on.” He didn’t know why these two were acting like this. But then again, he never understood the way they interacted so he’d just go with the flow again.
