Master's Untamed Wife

Holding a cup of bubble tea in her hand, Raelle finally came back to the room.

"How much brain did he eat of yours?"

Hyson gave her a look, "Do I look like a zombie? Why would I eat anyone's brain?" He took a pause and added, "No matter how hungry I am, I still won't eat brains."

Raelle came to stand behind Shui Xian's chair. She placed her forearms on each shoulder of Shui Xian from behind and waved the cup of bubble tea before his eyes, "It's for you."

Shui Xian took it from her and let her be. Raelle continued to stay like that. She hadn't placed any weight on him. But her arms were still dangling from his shoulders. It almost felt like she was hugging his neck from behind.

"You could have gotten one for me as well," said Hyson in displeasure.

"You're not allowed to drink it for now," answered Raelle.

"Wow, you have really climbed the wall, eh!"

"Climbed the wall? When did I do that?"

Shui Xian took a sip of the bubble tea before replying, "He means, you're cheating on him."

"But he said something about climbing walls."

Shui Xian patiently explained it to her, "That's an idiom that means cheating in a relationship. In ancient times, women used to stay at home. So, if they wanted to cheat on their partner they would have to climb over the wall to do that."

"That's quite a fancy way to describe cheating," remarked Raelle.

Shui Xian placed the cup of bubble tea aside and played with Raelle's fingers that were right before his face. He couldn't help doing so.

And looking at them like this, Hyson could only smile contently. In fact, he looked like a proud peacock right now.

"Oi!" called out Hyson to get her attention. "You got him bubble tea, why don't you buy something for me as well?"

Raelle took out a credit card from her pocket and said, "Tell me what you want, I'll buy it for you."

Hyson tsked at her, "That is the card Xian Ge gave you. Are you gonna use his money to buy something for your best friend? How rude!"

Shui Xian didn't let Raelle answer as he said, "You just tell her what you want. I'll be really glad if she really used this card. People love shopping but my wife has only used this card once and that was also when I was with her."

"But I really had nothing I wanted to buy," told Raelle honestly. "Really!"

"Hey! I don't want you to buy me anything. Just get my cotton candy back."

"Cotton candy?" questioned Raelle looking at Hyson.

"My birds!" answered Hyson with an exaggerated tone. "One of your people took my cotton and candy from me."

"Because it's a hospital," said Raelle. "You are not allowed to keep pets here. So, every day, only for two hours you'll get to meet the birds." Hyson's face fell while Raelle added, "By the way, you named the birds?"

"I did," replied Hyson.

"And you gave them names like cotton and candy?"

Hyson nodded his head, "Don't they look like cotton and candy? Why can't I name them like that?"

"There is something wrong here," stated Raelle.

"I don't think so," answered Hyson in a singsong voice.

*Knock*

After a couple of knocks, the door was opened and a heat-insulated food box was brought inside. One by one the dishes were served on the table before the delivery person left.

Raelle patted her husband's shoulder, "Let's have lunch. Wash up your hands."

Shui Xian listened to her and went to wash his hands. Right after that, Raelle also washed her hands and sat down to eat with Shui Xian. Slowly when the aroma of delicious food spread in the ward, Hyson's lips twitched as he looked at Raelle, "You're doing it on purpose, aren't you?"

Raelle didn't deny his claims. She even looked at him and said, "Who asked you to talk nonsense?"

Hyson could only snort at her reaction. He knew she was doing this because he asked that question from Shui Xian. It wasn't his place, he knew that as well. But he couldn't hold back his curiosity as well.

And now that he couldn't eat all of that, she actually asked her chef to cook a feast of things he loved to eat. Oh, what a good friend he had!

She really made him want to beat her up!

"Xian Ge, you said she is easy to love," began Hyson. "Are you sure about that? What's so easy?"

Shui Xian smiled at him and felt a little sympathy for him as well as he told him, "Can't you tell? Just seeing you salivating over this meal is enough to make her feel good. How is she difficult?"

"I think something is wrong with your eyes," stated Hyson firmly.

"If something is wrong with my eyes, then something is definitely wrong with yours as well. After all, you're the one keeping one best friend for life. I've long drifted apart from people I called friends."

Hyson looked at the drip that was attached to his hand and said, "The concept of having one best friend for life is unreal, Xian Ge. You can't be friends with the same person for life."

Shui Xian frowned at him, "Aren't you friends with my wife for decades?"

"And how can you say she is the same person I first met?" Shui Xian was stunned by his question. "People grow up, Xian Ge. You said people change, that's true. And that is why keeping the same person as your best friend for life is unrealistic. Because two people can't always walk on the same path. That's why everyone has different best friends at different phases of their lives." He looked at Raelle and added, "She and I also grew up. We just didn't grow apart because, at every changing phase, we learned to accept each other. But that doesn't mean we are the same people we once were."
