Chapter 815 Facing The Devil

??How could she not know? He did, just like she had a tiny space in her family. He didn't feel the need to have a father. 

??"But how long do you think this secret can be a secret?" asked Raelle.

??"Who cares?" retorted Hyson. "Let's not talk about that. I have something to ask. Did you see Tang Hebe?"

??Raelle shook her head, "Nope. She woke up in the evening but she wasn't willing to see anyone."

??"She must have a guilty conscience," said Hyson.

??"No, she is just embarrassed," was Raelle's point of view.

??And Hyson thought it made sense. "Indeed. Our Ellie is always right. She definitely must be feeling embarrassed after recovering her memories. I can understand her. If I was her, I'd feel the same way."

??"No way," said Raelle.

??"What?" asked Hyson.

??"You definitely won't feel embarrassed if you're in her position," stated Raelle.

??"Why not?" he inquired.

??"Because you have a thick skin," was Raelle's reply that shut him up.

??"Do you have to insult your best friend like this?" he asked.

??"When did I insult you? I'm just stating facts. As you know, I can't lie."

??Hyson chuckled to himself and rolled his eyes at her response. She really knew how to use her dialogue, 'I can't lie.' to get out of any situation. 

??"By the way, are you done checking your emails?" asked Hyson.

??"What are you talking about?" 

??"I'm neither blind nor a fool," said Hyson. "We met just yesterday and today, you called me early in the morning to chat? Do you want me to believe that you missed me that much? Or were you so bored that you looked for me?"

??"You can believe either of that," said Raelle blankly.

??"Well, I don't believe any of it," responded Hyson. "You're just using the time to have this video chat with me to check your mails. Otherwise, we spent months not calling each other and you never missed me enough to call me on your own."

??"Maybe I have changed now."

??"Only ghosts would believe you," said Hyson.

??"Then why don't you believe me? Aren't you also a ghost?"

??Hyson squinted his eyes at her, "Have you ever seen such a handsome ghost like me?"

??"I have never seen ghosts, I have nothing to make a proper comparison," answered Raelle. Then she changed the topic, "How about you come over and we have a movie day? There is a big screen tv in my ward. I think it's suitable for watching movies."

??"You're just trying to trick me into coming and then you'll play a horror movie," said Hyson. "I don't wanna watch it. Why don't you watch it with Xian Ge?"

??"Oh, when it comes to horror movies, you're the best movie partner," said Raelle. "Why are you making that face? Aren't I complimenting you here?"

??"I don't want such a compliment," Hyson glared at her. "I refuse to join you for another horror movie."

??"I have ice cream here," he heard Raelle's voice. "All the flavors you can ask for. I'll buy it all and won't even limit how much you can eat."

??Hyson was so tempted by that but he refused to fall for this trick again. Every time she dragged him to a horror movie, he was always lured by that ice cream. How could he fall for the same trick over and over again? Because only Raelle let him eat ice cream, even his always doting godmother won't let him eat ice cream.

??But even then there was a limit on how much he could eat. Although being an adult, he could be unruly and just buy it on his own to eat but he never did it. He knew these people were just concerned about his health. So, he just acted liked the good baby he was and never tried to sneakily eat ice cream.

??Hyson covered his ears and said, "No. It's not good for my health. Didn't the doctors say I should not indulge myself so much or else I might develop some heart problem? How can you even think about ruining me like this?"

??"So, now you do remember that you are not supposed to eat so much ice cream? Where is the boy who threw tantrums in the middle of the street just so I promise him that I'd buy his ice cream for all his life?"

??Hyson cleared his throat, "I was fourteen at that time. Very young and foolish. You should have acted like an adult and shouldn't have given into my tantrum."

??"Okay. Next time I won't fall for your tantrums."

??Hyson was horrified, "No! You can't do that. You have to take in all my tantrums. Don't even think about escaping! This friendship is for life and you're stuck with me anyway. Can't you just be nicer? I'm the only friend you got anyway. I should get some privileges."

??"Should I remind you how many privileges you already get for being my best friend?" asked Raelle.

??Hyson shook his head, "No. How can you list such things? It makes you seem calculative."

??"Oh, but aren't I a very calculative person?"

??"How can you say that? You're the best!"

??"All this nonsense, just so you can avoid watching the horror movie with me?"

??Hyson sighed, "Can't you understand me? I just played a ghost joke with Major yesterday and last night, in my dreams, I literally had a ghost buddy roaming around with me. It gave me creeps. Look at my dark circles. Look at how poor this baby is. He can't even sleep properly."

??"Your fear of ghosts is unfounded," stated Raelle.

??"You just won't understand it!" he argued. "I told you I saw a ghost when I was a kid."

??"You also said you have seen an angel when you first met me," reminded Raelle. "How am I supposed to believe you?"

??Hyson sighed, "My eyes played tricks on me back then. I was facing the devil and called her an angel. It was my mistake. But I'm not wrong about the ghost!"
