121: Sense Of Shame

Sense Of Shame

Suddenly, the main door was unlocked and someone stepped inside humming a tune happily. But as soon as that newcomer's eyes fell on Shui Xian and Raelle, he paused.2

"You!"

Raelle gave Hyson 'the newcomer' a not very pleased look before she looked away as if she didn't see him at all. Hyson felt like puking blood! This was his house and she just ignored him! That's so like her!

However, before his top could blow up from anger, he bit his own tongue. Raelle's words flashed through his mind. She had told him to inform his mother that she'd be visiting over the weekend. And he totally forgot about it!

"Hi, Yue Fai!" Shui Xian greeted Hyson with a pleasant smile.

Hyson took off his headphones and smiled back at him before walking up to Shui Xian. He took the initiative to give a brotherly hug to Shui Xian saying, "Xian Ge, I feel like I'm dreaming, seeing you in my humble abode. It's like my small house has lit up with your presence."

"Hyson," Raelle called out. "Do you have a chestnut?"

Hyson dug into his pocket and rummaged out a pack of roasted chestnuts. He passed it to her enthusiastically. Raelle took it and asked Shui Xian, "Do you like roasted chestnuts?"

"I do," replied Shui Xian.

Raelle nodded and gave that pack of roasted chestnuts to her husband saying, "Enjoy!"

Hyson's face twitched at the sight of this scene playing out right before him. She knew he loved roasted chestnuts, yet she robbed him in broad daylight! Evil, chicken nugget!

Shui Xian frowned at the pack of roasted chestnuts in confusion. That seemed too random to him because he didn't know what his wife was thinking but Hyson knew it. She just wanted to snatch his roasted chestnuts. And indeed, Raelle really had no other purpose for such a silly act. It was simply done to annoy Hyson because she knew just how much he loved roasted chestnuts.

"You didn't tell Yue that I'd be coming to see her," stated Raelle making Hyson's conjecture get stronger.

"I had so much to do," said Hyson. "It slipped my mind. It wasn't intentional." He sat down beside her, "When did you come?"

"Just a while ago," replied Raelle calmly.

Hyson extended his hand to take a cookie from the plate when Raelle smacked on the back of his hand saying, "Yue brought this for me. Who allowed you to touch it?"

Hyson gaped at her, "This is my house! My mother baked the cookies! Why can't I taste it?"

"Because I said so," was Raelle's plain response that was enough to shut Hyson up.

He glared at her before baring his teeth at her and even made a gesture of taking a bite but in the end, he huffed and turned his face away from her. He faced Shui Xian and almost instantly a smile appeared on his face.

"Xian Ge, I heard you used my gift very well. Did you like it?"

Shui Xian ended up coughing at that as he stared at Hyson in silence. The latter was still grinning playfully.

"Hyson, where is your sense of shame?" questioned Raelle. But right after, she answered herself, "Oh, it must be on a leave of absence like always." Hyson gritted his teeth as he faced her again with a raised brow. "Or maybe, your sense of shame ran away after seeing how shameless you are."

Shui Xian coughed again but this time to hide his laughter.

Hyson smiled at her, "Ellie, where is your sense of humor?" He wiggled his brows, "Maybe it went on a trip? Or maybe, it got tripped after seeing how trippy you are."

Shui Xian was amused seeing this pair of friends.

"I thought I heard a familiar voice," came Mu Chenyan's voice and Mother Yue also followed her out to check.

Seeing her son, she asked, 'What are you doing home?'

Hyson ran over to hug her, "Mum, I missed you."

Mother Yue facepalmed herself. Anything could change except for her son's dialogue. Every single time, he always had the same thing to say, 'I missed you!' The idiot even ran back from Country G because of the same thing.

She rubbed his head before saying, 'Are you trying to annoy our guest?'

"Who? Me?" Hyson played the innocence card. "Mum, how can I annoy Xian Ge? I admire him. Well, as for annoying my Ellie, that's my right. She is not a guest anyway."

Mother Yue, ruffled his hair and messed up his hairstyle making him groan.

"Mum, it took me half an hour to set my hair like this!"

"Fai, why didn't you inform us that Elle was coming over on the weekend?"

Hyson laughed awkwardly at Mu Chenyan, "Yanyan, that's because I have a short-term memory loss. Whenever my Ellie says something, I tend to forget it easily." Both Mother Yue and Mu Chenyan raised their brows at him as he went on, "If I didn't have this special ability, how could we have stayed friends with her bitter personality?"

This comment earned him a pinch on his cheek from his mother.

'That's not nice!'

Hyson smiled at his mom, "She doesn't mind though." He took a pause and added, "Besides, she said she'll come over on the weekend. She didn't specify the day whether it'd be Saturday or Sunday. I came home to tell you that you should be prepared for her unannounced visit, how would I know she'd be one step ahead of me?"

Shui Xian was left watching while Hyson was dragged by the two ladies for forgetting that Raelle was coming over. It wasn't every day that Raelle would take the initiative to visit someone and yet, this jerk forgot to inform such an important thing. He needed a lesson for this mistake!

Shui Xian felt both envious and happy to see Hyson's relationship with his mother and the woman who raised his wife like a mother. It made him miss his own mother. Or maybe it made him remember that he never had such a relationship with his mother.
