Chapter 824 Smartest Bean

Chapter 824 Smartest Bean

??Shui Xian was surprised to see that Hyson was calling on Raelle's phone once again. Didn't they chat in the morning? Did something happen? He hurriedly gave the phone to Raelle, "Here, Fai is looking for you again."

??Raelle took the phone and put it on speaker before she asked, "What is it now?"

??Hyson also put his phone on speaker and indicated to both Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai to stay silent. Then he spoke up, "Ellie, let's suppose that you have to go on a blind date."

??"I have had enough of that," came Raelle's response. "I'm already married now."

??"I said, let's suppose," repeated Hyson. 

??"Even if it's just supposed, I still don't want to," said Raelle. "That's like cheating on my spouse and I'm a very loyal person."

??Hyson facepalmed himself, "I forgot for a moment that that's not how one can communicate with you. Let's start again." He took a deep breath and said, "Let's say I have to go on a blind date. But I don't want to go. I don't want to hurt someone's feelings by refusing to go since I already agreed. So, what excuse can be used?"

??"You can just go to the blind date," replied Raelle. "Who said you have to make it work? Isn't the point to show up? It's not like going for coffee or dinner will make you invest feelings into it. Treat it as dinner with a new friend and get over it."

??Hyson looked at Xiang Wai who was frowning to herself. She lowered her voice and said, "That's not an excuse. That's a solution."

??Hyson rolled his eyes at her, covered the speaker of the phone, and said, "People like her don't need temporary excuses! She is always after permanent solutions. Temporary things won't solve things for you. They'll only delay the consequences."

??"What are you mumbling?" asked Raelle. "And by the way, since you want to talk about Xiang Wai, why are you using yourself? Do you think I don't understand?"

??Hyson hehe-ed once he heard that and said, "Anyway, I just wanted to prove a point to someone who said she has a stomachache!"

??"Oh, then doesn't she know that the blind date is arranged for the day after tomorrow and it's not today? She just used up her bad excuse on a wrong day. What a pity! Even Cloe had better excuses when people asked her to get into a relationship."

??Hyson pursed his lips while Xiang Wai pouted. Even her own sister was attacking her now. How could she be so pitiful?

??"Ellie, I'll talk to you later," said Hyson and hung up the call. Then he faced Xiang Wai and said, "Major, your intelligence is... You're really not the smartest bean in the Xiang family."

??"Hey! Do you have to attack my intelligence as well?"

??"I do!" replied Hyson. "Save your excuses. The blind date isn't even today. Give yourself less stress. Anyway, it won't solve your problem."

??"Why are you doing this to me?" asked Xiang Wai. "You already know I don't want to go on a blind date."

??"Yes, but you agreed to go yourself," said Hyson. "I can call off the blind date but how else will I get to teach you that one should always be ready for consequences when they speak. If you have the guts to say it, then you'll have to keep your words till the end. Or else, who will trust your words?"

??He sighed and left her standing there in a daze with Xiang Weimin who had a thoughtful look on his face.

??"He is just a kid, does he have to be so calculative?" 

??"He is just reminding you of things you forget when you get emotional," replied Xiang Weimin. "He is right. Your emotions get the best of you and that's why you agreed to the blind date last night as well. Even he knows that. He is just telling you to remember that you can eat whatever but you can't always say whatever. You have to weigh your words before anything or you might find it difficult to act upon your words."

??"Ge, I really think you've changed. You are my brother. Take my side even if I'm unreasonable. You have always been by my side."

??Xiang Weimin rubbed her head, "I'm still by your side. No matter how unreasonable you behave. I'm on your side. Just because I said something to agree with him, doesn't mean I'm standing against you. You're still my sister and I'm still here to protect you."

??Xiang Wai was silent for a long time before saying, "Ge, how do you think this guy grew up? Why is he like this?"

??"His IQ and EQ, both are impeccable," said Xiang Weimin. "That's the reason why he manages to make everyone fall for him. I heard from Aunt Yan that when he was a kid, he liked to act like an adult. But now that he grew up, he likes to act like a kid. Do you understand what it means?"

??"What does it mean?" she asked. 

??"It means when he was a kid, his circumstances and situation forced him to grow up and become mature," answered Xiang Weimin. "So, now that he grew up and found people who are willing to love his inner child, he loves to act like one. But acting like a child, won't change the fact that he matured too early in life. At least, emotionally, he had been through a lot worse than us."

??"Why do you say that?"

??"Our parents divorced but we never had any difficulties in life. We never had to see our parents struggling to make our wishes come true. We never had to wonder if we can buy this or that. We had all the freedom in life. He... He understood too much too soon in life." Xiang Weimin sighed to himself as he told all this to his sister. He might have been the most silent person in the house these days, but he had noticed the relationship between Hyson and his mother. That was enough to make Xiang Weimin understand a lot about Hyson.
