Pei Zi Hong glared at them for cornering him like that. "Instead of being so invested in my love life, why don't you all look for your own?!"
In response to that, Huang Shuyi yawned saying, "Ah! So sleepy!"
Fang Yiwen turned his attention to the interior of the house and commented, "I thought your house would have a grand scene. Why is it so plain and feels so cozy instead?"
Hyson smiled at the way they were avoiding the topic and replied to Fang Yiwen, "Wen Ge, no one likes a grand scene around here. A home should feel like a home. What's the point of it if it won't make you feel comfortable?"
"That's also true," agreed Fang Yiwen.
Pei Zi Hong snickered and pointed at the painting on the wall saying, "Yiwen, do you see that? That painting is called the 'The Dawn of Tomorrow.' Do you know at what price it was auctioned?"
"Is it expensive?" asked Fang Yiwen.
"Of course!" replied Pei Zi Hong.
Fang Yiwen nodded his head, "Now, I get it. It's the grandness in details."
"Don't talk nonsense," said Hyson.

"Eat," said Hyson. "Oh, but don't eat so much. There isn't that much time for dinner. You won't be able to eat later if you ate too many snacks."
"Don't worry about that," commented Huang Shuyi. "We can eat well."
Hyson snorted, "Oh, please! As if I don't know how well you all can eat. You all eat like birds. But let me warn you. I don't wanna hear anyone of you say that you're on diet. My mum and Yanyan had been cooking for so long. You better eat well. And you better eat till you can't eat anymore at all!"
"Woah! Fai, are you threatening us now?" questioned Lin Zhen.
"If that's what it seems like," retorted Hyson. "The best appreciation for a chef is if people eat the food he cooked. You better show your appreciation. If any of you didn't eat well, I'm gonna throw you all out!"
"When did you become so unreasonable?"
"I'm very unreasonable when it comes to my family," replied Hyson. He straightened up and smiled politely like a host, "Now, please enjoy."
"This is not the way to treat guests," commented Fang Yiwen.
"What guests? I treat you all like my brothers," reminded Hyson. "And you all gave me the right to be the unreasonable one since I'm the youngest. Don't go changing your face now."
Lin Zhen shook his head, "Fai is right. Act like older brothers and you better listen to him."
"Oh, hi, Fai!" Hyson looked up and saw Shui Koshing who was smiling at him. "Oh, hey, boys! I didn't know you all are coming as well. That's a pleasant surprise."
"Hello, Mr. Shui," greeted Lin Zhen and the rest.
"Don't be so uptight again," said Shui Koshing.
"Uncle Shing, you really came?" asked Hyson.
Shui Koshing grinned, "Didn't I tell you yesterday I'll come over to freeload? And besides, it's like a farewell dinner for our Fai. I have to come. Wouldn't you feel like something is missing if I'm not around?"
Hyson nodded certainly, "I definitely would feel your absence."
Shui Koshing was happy to hear that. "Where is Uncle?"
"Opa is in his room," answered Hyson.
"Alright. You sit with your guests then. I'm gonna check up on Uncle."
"Is it just me or does Mr Shui look even more energetic than the last time we saw him?" questioned Huang Shuyi as he watched Shui Koshing leave.
"Uncle Shing is certainly getting energetic," agreed Hyson without any hesitation. He could also see that Shui Koshing had been more lively and active lately. It was like he was getting younger. And Hyson even knew that had something to do with Raelle. Of course, he didn't realize that he also had contribution in this feet.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Are there more people coming over?" asked Pei Zi Hong.
"I think so," answered Hyson. "But as for how many, that I am not so sure about."
"I asked Rourou to take care of you," said Pei Zi Hong. "So, if you need anything, just let her know. Don't hesitate at all."
"Zi Hong Ge, I'm not a kid," said Hyson not knowing whether to cry or laugh at this.
"Because of what happened last time, I am more inclined to believe that you are a kid who can lose his way," replied Pei Zi Hong. "That's why I'm not reassured. I'm sure Rourou would keep an eye on you this time and make sure you don't go astray."
"That sounds so strange," commented Hyson.
"Rourou?" repeated Fang Yiwen. As if he got enlightened, he cursed out loud, "Fuck! Zi Hong, you bastard! You're datingmy goddess He Rou?!"
Pei Zi Hong covered his mouth and glared at him, "Keep your voice down. We are here as guests. Don't let people see how uncultured you are."
Fang Yiwen bit his hand making Pei Zi Hong hiss in pain.
"What the hell? Now, you've started to bite as well? What next? Gonna suck my blood like a vampire?"
"I feel like doing so," gritted out Fang Yiwen. He was feeling so betrayed right now. Who didn't know that he had always been a big fan of He Rou? She was his goddess! But now, he was told that his friend was actually dating his goddess! How could he not feel betrayed?
Lin Zhen was also a little surprised by the identity of Pei Zi Hong's girlfriend but he had never gotten involved in his group mates personal lives as long as it didn't affect their professional life. So, he patted Fang Yiwen's shoulder and whispered, "Relax! Take a deep breath. You need to think about it with a calm mind. No need to be so aggressive about it." He took a pause when he noticed that Fang Yiwen seemed to be listening to him and added, "In your anger, don't forget that Pei Zi Hong is your closest friend."
Hearing this, Fang Yiwen deflated like a balloon. True, Pei Zi Hong was his closest friend.. He couldn't possibly do anything about this.
