Chapter 851 Girls Are Trouble

??After she was done cursing, she teared up. As she sniffled, Hyson asked, "Sister Xin, are you okay?"

??Even in her drunk state, she actually didn't want to cry in front of him and nodded saying, "I'm going to the ladies' room. I'll be right back."

??"Okay," he replied and watched her staggering away. She couldn't even walk in a straight line. He sighed to himself and picked up the script she offered him to pass the time.

??"Your manager is hurt."

??Hyson looked up and met those emerald green eyes again that made him hold his breath for some bizarre reason. The person before him didn't have a smirk but looked serious, extending those long fingers, that person tapped on the counter where Li Xinxin had placed her elbows earlier. 

??Only then did, Hyson notices that stain of blood. His eyes widened and he looked toward the corner where Li Xinxin went.

??"I didn't even notice," he said in a small voice. 

??But clearly, the person on the other side of the counter heard his voice and replied, "It's not your fault. It's pretty obvious that she didn't notice it herself. Her heart must be in more pain if she isn't even able to notice the physical pain."

??Hyson subconsciously agreed with her words and nodded his head.

??"I haven't known her for long but I thought she seemed like a strong person. I didn't think she'd be this devastated after having a fight with her boyfriend."

??"We often give the key of our heart to another person and expect that person to care for our heart. But in the end, the heart is ours. What's the guarantee that person will take care of our heart? We are the ones who need to protect our own hearts. Don't give someone so much power over you."

??Hyson was focused on those calloused hands and their movements as the person before him mixed drinks while speaking. For some reason, Hyson patiently and attentively listened. Even when the person stopped talking, he was wondering why did he stop? 

??"Where did your cousin go?" asked Hyson.

??Young Master Ru's brow quirked up at Hyson before he replied, "He got a call from home. He went out to take the call."

??"Oh," responded Hyson. "Thanks for the lemonade! It's very delicious. Maybe I'm tripping but it's definitely one of the best lemonade I've ever had in my life."

??"Pleasure is all mine to serve it to star!"

??"How do you know I'm a star?"

??"Didn't your manager just say it?" 

??Hyson tapped his head, "I forgot." He touched his chin before extending his hand, "Let me properly introduce myself. I'm Yue Fai. But my stage name is Hyson."

??"Hyson... meaning, flourishing spring," Ru nodded. "Indeed. It suits you." Shaking Hyson's hand Ru continued, "Ru. I'm Young Master Ru. It's a pleasure to meet you, Hyson."

??Hyson didn't let go of that hand as his almond eyes were still glued to the face of the person before him. It was only after a minute that he let go and looked down at his hand. Why was he so lost today?

??"Ru means one who is like a scholar," said Hyson. 

??"Why? I don't look like I deserve this name?" 

??Hyson shook his head, "I can't be the judge of that since I don't know you. That's why I'm wondering why you think the name Hyson suits me?"

??"Spring is the new beginning of everything," came the reply. "Spring is colorful and beautiful. I think the person who gave you that definitely told you why this name was chosen for you."

??Hyson smiled to himself and that's when Li Xinxin came back. 

??"Sister Xin, you're hurt?"

??Li Xinxin looked up in confusion. "No."

??Hyson took her hand and turned it to see that her elbow had a cut but the bleeding had stopped by now. Only dry blood was left there as a sign. Hyson gave her a look. 

??"I didn't notice," said Li Xinxin.

??"I'd be surprised if you did notice," said Ru and placed a medicine box. "Although the cut isn't deep, you should still take care of it."

??Li Xinxin looked at Ru again with stars in her eyes making Ru feel like a headache was coming again. This would never get old as long as that handsome face belonged to Ru. 

??"Xiao Gege, how about you help me?" asked Li Xinxin.

??"Sister Xin," Hyson called out.

??"Hyson, I'm hurt. Can't you be a little nice and give in to me?"

??Hyson rolled his eyes. He should know by now that girls have millions of tricks up their sleeves when they are being unreasonable. He was actually surprised to find that Ru had the same expression as him. Both read girls are trouble.

??Even though that's how they both felt, Ru still attentively held Li Xinxin's arm and took care of the wound. The cut wasn't deep but it was really long. It was cut by something sharp. Hyson noticed how practiced Ru looked and wondered what Ru's profession was.

??"How did you get hurt?" asked Hyson.

??Li Xinxin's eyes were stuck on Ru and she dazedly replied, "I don't know. While leaving home, I stumbled and fell, must have cut it then."

??"Can you be careful? How can you fall when you're sober?" asked Hyson in disbelief.

??"She was high on emotions," answered Ru for Li Xinxin. "When people are high on emotions, it's worse. So, you can't say she was really sober."

??"Xiao Gege, you're so gentle."

??Ru's smirked, "This Young Master's gentleness is reserved for beautiful ladies like you."

??Li Xinxin giggled like a starstruck girl when she heard that.

??"Ru, are you flirting again?"

??Ru looked over at her cousin and shrugged, "Maybe?"

??"Who are you trying to dupe this time? The cute brother or the pretty sister here?"

??"Maybe, both?" replied Ru. "Does the gender matter?"

??Zhu Jie nodded his head, "Indeed. How can gender matter to you when you're clearly confused about your own until now."

??"Cousin, are you looking for trouble?" Ru asked in a dangerously low voice before saying goodbye to Hyson and Li Xinxin. This clearly seemed like someone was going to settle scores.
