Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 926: Dating Coach

"Where is the meat?" asked Hyson when he looked at the vegetarian spread before his eyes. "Where is my braised duck, or roasted mutton, or fried chicken, even poached fish would do."         

    

He looked up at Raelle and Shui Xian who were eating silently without any complaints and felt like he was playing a joke here. Why was he the only one affected? What's up with these people? He never had any expectations for his best friend but what happened to his Xian Ge?     

"Just eat or scram!" said Raelle before she went back to clipping some veggies with her wooden chopsticks and bit them.      

Hyson looked like his soul just left his body. He felt like going into a corner to draw circles on the ground. No one loved this baby. How pitiful!     

Of course, he understood that he couldn't find meat at this temple. But after using all his energy to climb up, he really needed some protein in his body to keep up. Only vegetables won't do. He was a bonafide food chaser. Good food was his life.      

While grumbling mentally, he decided to eat whatever he had since he was already hungry. Honestly speaking, it was very delicious even though there was no meat. The food was enjoyable.      

Looking at the atmosphere between Raelle and Shui Xian as they ate, Hyson couldn't help saying, "The only missing part here is good music. Do you want me to sing to make it more romantic for you two?"

Shui Xian glanced at Hyson and said, "I don't mind. You have to ask for my wife's opinion though."     

Hyson sighed, "Why should I ask someone who can't even appreciate music? I asked her to play piano. She was good at it. Very good at it. So good that it felt like a machine was playing the piano. It was just that flawless and emotionless."     

Raelle put down her chopsticks and said, "It's all about hitting the notes."     

"No, it's not," insisted Hyson. "I'll never be able to make you understand my point because, at the end of the day, you just lack the cells that can perceive music." He sipped some soup and went on, "By the way, we have been sitting outside for so long. Why aren't there any mosquitos? Usually, they follow me like they have a crush on me or something."     

Shui Xian laughed at Hyson's analogy and didn't know what to say. This boy really knew how to make others laugh.     

"He is right," agreed Raelle. "I just noticed that too. Why is that so?"     

Shui Xian's lips twitched when he noticed both of them looking at him with their eyes that could unnerve anyone. But at the same time, they looked like two curious kids.     

"I heard they have some secret medicine recipe to keep mosquitos away from the periphery of the temple."     

"That works?" asked Hyson in interest.     

Shui Xian shrugged, "Isn't it working for now?"     

"Right, it is..." After Hyson was done eating, he rubbed his stomach but didn't feel satisfied. He was full but that compartment reserved for meat was still craving meat. Sadly, he couldn't do anything about that right now. "When I was leaving home, Mr. Zhai Kuijun came over to visit."     

"Oh?"      

Hyson nodded to Raelle as he continued to give her all the details, "Your dad isn't even around so his purpose is clear. He came for my mum. I just wonder why."     

"That might have something to do with your grandparents," the answer came from Shui Xian unexpectedly. Both Hyson and Raelle turned their attention to him at the same time. "Your maternal grandparents are in the city. And they ran into Aunt Yue and Yanyan the other day at the mall as well. After that, your maternal grandfather got sick as well. And they seemed to be looking for your mum now."     

"Xian Ge, you're well-informed," said Hyson. "Even I know nothing about this."     

"I heard it from Yanjun," answered Shui Xian. "He gave me all the details."

"Aren't you getting too close to that friend of yours lately?" asked Hyson.     

"Isn't it because you led him to me for dating advice?" retorted Shui Xian.     

Hyson rubbed his nose, "He couldn't even keep it a secret that I asked him to look for you?" Almost instantly forgetting about it, he asked curiously, "So, how are the dating classes? Are your lectures working?"         

    

"Wouldn't you know it better?" asked Shui Xian. "I had been at the hospital all this time. It's you who had been keeping an eye on them."     

"Well, I do things whole-heartedly," said Hyson. "But still, I don't know what's really going on. You have the inside story."     

"I can then assure you that your efforts paid off greatly because they have been acting like some teenagers in love," commented Shui Xian. "I never thought they're this bad at dating. It's like you have to guide them through everything or they'll end up messing everything up because of their own reservations. It's tiring to be a dating coach of such a couple."     

Raelle caught up on some detail and asked, "You're giving advice to Xiang Wai as well?"     

Shui Xian scratched his nose and nodded, "Yes. I was gonna tell you that. Your sister also reached out to me. Her exact words were that she has no one around her with a successful relationship experience. Oh, she also added that even though my first relationship failed I still managed to learn something from it and built a better one from scratch. So, I happened to exactly what she was looking for."     

Hyson went silent when he heard that. What was he to say that he expected such words from Major Wai? It really wasn't a surprise that she had such thoughts. But it was unexpected that she looked for Shui Xian.     

"She isn't even close to her sister but she is trying to get advice from her brother-in-law? Only Major Wai would do something like that," evaluated Hyson with humor dancing in his eyes.     

"True," Raelle nodded along with her best friend.
