804: Ever-So-Mischievous

Ever-So-Mischievous

Hyson was on his way back home when he ran into Lin Zhen and asked the driver to stop the car. He alighted from the car and told the driver, "Uncle, you can go back home. I'll just walk back later."2

The driver didn't persuade him considering how they were already in the residential area and the house wasn't that far from here. He gave a nod in response and drove away.

"Zhen Ge!" Hyson shouted to get Lin Zhen's attention who was playing with his dog right now.

Lin Zhen looked up and frowned at Hyson, "Fai? What are you doing here?"

"Why can't I be here? I live around here," reminded Hyson.

"No, I meant to say, weren't you shooting at another location?" asked Lin Zhen.

"Ah! About that... I just came back two days ago," answered Hyson.

Lin Zhen recalled something and asked, "So, that disheveled person on the airport that was trending was really you?"

Hyson scratched the tip of his nose and laughed awkwardly, "Yeah. That was me."

Lin Zhen was even more surprised when Hyson said that. He knew that no matter how much Hyson was in a hurry, he'd always look handsome when going out. After all, all of them were stars and even if they were low-key or down-to-earth, they were still influenced by the entertainment industry and loved to appear in their best version before people.

"Did something happen?" he asked Hyson straightforwardly. "It's not like you to not take any precautions before traveling or stepping out of the house. You have always been the best at disguise. And that's why you've always been able to avoid paparazzi. What happened this time?"

"I was indeed in a rush," said Hyson. "My best friend is in the hospital." Hyson didn't hide it from Lin Zhen. First, his group mates already knew Raelle, and second, he trusted all his members. 

"You mean Raelle?" asked Lin Zhen in shock. 

Hyson nodded in reply.

Lin Zhen was taken aback, "How? What happened? Is she okay? Why didn't you tell any of us? No wonder I haven't seen them on morning walks these days." He pulled out his phone saying, "I'll tell the others. Which hospital is it? We'll visit her."

Hyson stopped him, "Zhen Ge, stop it. Keep calm. I know you love to take care of everyone but you need to chill right now. Ellie doesn't like people visiting her at the hospital. Once she is discharged, I'll tell you and you can come to see her then."

Lin Zhen hesitated but still agreed with him. "Then you better tell us. Okay?"

"I will," replied Hyson.

"Don't always treat us as outsiders," said Lin Zhen.

"When did I?" retorted Hyson innocently. "Even my mothers don't treat you all as outsiders anymore and they only met you a couple of times. I spent years with you, I definitely don't think of you as an outsider. Or else, I wouldn't call you Ge. You know not everyone can make me call them Ge. It's an honor. Cherish it!"

Lin Zhen chuckled at this dork of their group and shook his head. 

While he was chatting with Hyson, his dog suddenly ran away surprising Lin Zhen. "Coco!"

Hyson also looked towards where the dog ran and raised his eyes when he realized to whom the dog ran. The person over there squatted down and happily welcomed the dog who was running towards her.

"Oh, who is this handsome baby?"

Hyson's lips twitched when he heard that from Xiang Wai. Yes, that person was indeed Xiang Wai. It was her first time meeting Coco but the dog definitely liked her even from afar and even left his owner behind.

"Zhen Ge, your Coco is a traitor," Hyson whispered to Lin Zhen. "Coco forgets you around Xian Ge and now even a stranger is better than you."

Lin Zhen was also feeling sad about that. His Coco was always closest to him then what happened now? He hardly managed to deal with his jealousy for Shui Xian and here came another thief trying to steal his Coco. This was so unfair that he wanted to do something!

Coco didn't care about his owners' thoughts and continued to lick, hug, and play with Xiang Wai happily making the latter chuckle. "Oh, you're such a good boy! How are you such a good boy?"

"Oh, so you're a dog person," said Hyson, and Xiang Wai finally noticed him. Since they weren't far from home, she didn't find it weird that she ran into him. "No wonder, you fell in love with Jun Ge."

Xiang Wai's lips twitched when she heard him say that. "What does this have to do with Yanjun?"

"Why should I tell you?" he retorted.

"Did you just call Yanjun a dog?" she asked.

"Even if I did, that really had nothing to do with you," was Hyson's response.

"You know each other?" asked Lin Zhen.

Hyson nodded and said, "Sadly, we do."

Xiang Wai gaped at him, "Sadly? Are you that sad about knowing me?"

"I am," replied Hyson. "But don't worry, Major. I'll get over it. My sadness doesn't last that long."

Lin Zhen was really amused by Hyson's words. Not surprised at all. But he was indeed surprised to know that woman standing before him was actually a Major. That made a look of appreciation appear on his face.

"My Coco seems to have taken an instant liking to you," commented Lin Zhen.

"It's called love at first sight," commented Hyson.

"Fai!"

"Yes, Zhen Ge?"

"Behave yourself."

"Okay," Hyson pursed his lips but didn't say anything.

Xiang Wai was actually surprised to see that Hyson seemed to respect this man very much. If not, he wouldn't be so easy to talk to. But even if she was surprised she didn't show it on her face. But she was a little curious about Lin Zhen. She wanted to know who he was to Hyson and why this ever-so-mischievous Hyson was acting well-behaved around him?
