Chapter 706 Easy To Break
Hyson was yawning as he came downstairs. He went to sleep right after lunch and only woke up when the sun was setting. And as soon as he woke up, he was feeling hungry again. He really had to do something about his appetite which had only been increasing lately.
Hyson decided to control his hunger and wait for dinner. He wanted to go to Raelle but dropped the idea for now. He should go after dinner. In this way, he'd take something for her to eat as well.
"Yue Fai, why don't you come and sit with us?"
Hyson rubbed his eyes and looked at Xiang Weimin before shrugging his shoulders. He came to sit down with him and Xiang Wai. There was no one else in the living room at that time. "What's up, Lieutenant?"
"Nothing, I just thought we hadn't sat down and had a chat in a while," replied Xiang Weimin.
"You're not really a chatty person," Hyson pointed out.
Xiang Weimin smiled slightly, "But I don't mind chatting with you."
Hyson smiled slyly to himself, "Since you're giving me the honor, I can't let you down." He pulled up his legs and sat cross-legged as he faced Xiang Weimin. With a gossipy expression, he asked, "You went to see Yanyan, right?" Xiang Weimin nodded his head. "How was it? Are they entertaining our guest well?"
Xiang Weimin raised his brow at Hyson's question, he did not this boy would be interested in that.

Hyson had to agree with that. Whichever meaning you take behind this 'hospitality', you couldn't find faults in Mu Chenyan. Never!
"Now, if you don't mind, can I ask you something?"
Hyson looked at him and nodded, "Sure. Go ahead."
"How is Raelle?" asked Xiang Weimin.
Hyson was surprised to hear that question but still answered, "Didn't you see her at the hospital?"
Xiang Weimin looked concerned as he said, "That's the thing. Even if I saw her, I wasn't able to tell how she was. It's a little difficult to understand her."
Hyson tapped his chin thoughtfully, "Is she that difficult to understand? Actually, you shouldn't think so hard. She is fine. Didn't she say she was fine? She wasn't lying. She never does. So, it's the truth that she is fine."
"After such an incident, it's actually hard to believe that she is fine," commented Xiang Weimin.
"I understand that," said Hyson. "Of course, this incident had an impact on her. Let me tell you this, Ellie doesn't like losing things that belong to her. This time she lost her child, and it's obvious that she won't be feeling very good. But trust me, it won't break her down."
"Right, she isn't easy to break," said Xiang Weimin.
"Don't worry, Lieutenant! My Ellie will only come out stronger from this," Hyson sounded certain as he spoke. "But I seriously have to ban the color white from her life."
"Huh?" Xiang Weimin didn't understand what he meant by that last sentence.
Hyson looked gloomy and frustrated as he said, "Nothing good happens when she wears white."
"That's superstitious," said Xiang Weimin.
"Well, I'm not asking you to believe me," said Hyson. "But let me tell you, it was this superstition of mine that pulled me to her. Or else, I wouldn't have even known something happened to her. Sometimes, it's okay to believe in the signs nature is giving you. They might not always be true but there is no harm in being extra cautious." He looked around before asking, "By the way, where is your father?"
"He is with Grandpa," replied Xiang Weimin.
"He seems to be very scared that if he left Opa's side, he might not get a chance to be close to him again," Hyson analyzed it perfectly as he chuckled. "I have to say, I never thought Ellie's father was so cute."
"Cute?" repeated Xiang Weimin. "Are you sure you're talking about my dad?"
"Of course, I am talking about him," replied Hyson.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Is something wrong with your aesthetics? How can you find him cute?" Xiang Weimin couldn't help asking. Because he never thought his father was cute. That word could never be used to General Xiang Hulin who was a prestigious figure in the military. Who didn't look up to him?
Although Xiang Weimin had been a cold person and had very few friends even in the army, it didn't change the fact that he had heard many soldiers talking about their admiration for the General.
He always knew his father as a serious workaholic. Although he found his act today to be quite embarrassing, he didn't think his father looked cute.
Hyson tsked at that, "I think Weimin Ge, you need to change your aesthetics. Stop looking at him as General Xiang Hulin. You might as well look at him as Xiang Tianyu's son today. You'll definitely find him adorable."
Hyson still remembered how Xiang Hulin was putting food in his father's bowl at the lunch table and also kept peeking at his father, trying to figure out if his father was mad or satisfied with the food he put in his bowl. And whenever Opa ate the food he put in his bowl, Hyson noticed the way General Xiang Hulin's eyes would visibly sparkle and his lips would tilt up inconspicuously.
So, for Hyson, Xiang Hulin was cute.
"Weimin Ge, have you ever been on a blind date?" asked Hyson.
"No," answered Xiang Weimin. He didn't know where did this question even come from. What did he even mean by asking this question? "Why?"
"I was just curious to know," replied Hyson. "Since you have never dated, I was curious if someone took you on a blind date."
"Why are you suddenly so curious about my relationship?"
Hyson sighed, "I have to worry about this. My Opa definitely would like to see a granddaughter-in-law." He took a pause and added, "Should I plan a blind date for you?"
