New Life : A Second Chance

Chapter 281 - Pictures??

Despite sleeping late, Kyle still woke up at 4am the next day. His body clock was just like that. No matter what, once it was 4am, he'd be awake and wouldn't be able to fall back asleep. If he was tired, he would still need to get up and only take a nap later in the day.

For now, he was in the living room doing his normal exercises while Xing Han was snoring away in the bedroom. As he didn't have his weights, he just opted to do the same type of exercises when he had been at the hospital. Using gravity for added pressure.

Kyle finished up in 40 minutes and went to get some water. It couldn't be cold water so he poured some water from the kettle that he had boiled earlier. It was still hot, so he had poured it into a bowl so that it would cool faster.

Swirling the bit of water then drinking it, he would continuously pour some water just to fill the bottom a bit and drink, when Kay contacted him. She knew that he would be awake to do his routine exercises, and timed it to be after he had completed it.

[Brother, you were right to put the fly bugs. Sayuri checked out your room last night]

[Hmmmm] Kyle acknowledged, putting the bowl down [Did she get anything?]

[Nope] Kay answered [You're so careful that even when there's no danger, you keep your stuff locked up well]

[She's obviously here to check up on me] Kyle said [But for what reason?]

[Haven't you asked Master Shifu yet then?]

[Not yet, but will do soon. I'll go back today to settle this as this is more important. Can you get someone else to take over the report for Dong Dong Seafood?]

[Not a problem] Kay replied.

[Though with such a name, one wonders how good it can really be] Kyle grinned to himself.

[I believe the food must be good] Kay said [There's been some old and new reviews about it that are positive. Unlike the previous fushion one]

[It ought to be, I suppose] Kyle said [Otherwise, who would ever go into a dong dong* restaurant? Not one dong, but two! Make me think that they're like Hooters. Instead of having girls showing off their boobs, we have waiters showing off their dongs]

[OMG! Now I can't get that image out of my head. Stupid brother] Kay admonish him [For all you know, it could be his name. After all, there's an Olympic medalist from Country C named Dong Dong]

[That's true, too. Some innocent words from one country would mean completely different in another]

[It's still funny, though] Kyle couldn't help but add.

[You're hopeless] Kay said with a mental roll of her eyes. Not that he could see it.

[By the way, I've told Xing Han everything about me]

[By everything, do you mean MIB?] Kay asked.

[E-ve-ry-thing] Kyle repeated, dragging the words and enunciating it clearly but slowly.

There was a slight pause before she gasped.

[He knows about Kylie?!]

[Yes]

[How did he take it?] Kay asked, her feelings of curiosity and amazement flowing into Kyle.

[Pretty good] Kyle replied [So good that he even asked me to kiss him, just to teach him how to kiss]

[... ... that sounds like Xing Han indeed] Kay said after a slight pause [So, did you? No, wait. You don't need to answer that. Of course you did]

[Well, yeah. It was just Xing Han]

Kay laughed [Well, I'm glad he knows. Now you stop feeling guilty about Sam knowing first]

[True. I do feel very content now]

[But darn it] Kay cursed.

[Why? What happened?]

[I don't have a picture of you guys kissing. That would have been so epic]

[You're so shameless, you know that Kay?]

[You only have yourself to blame for that, you know]

[How on Earth is it MY fault?!] Kyle said in disbelief.

[Well, who is the one that has the type of body that girls - and probably guys as well - drool over? The one that actually uses that same body to get things? All those oh, 'accidental' showing of abs. Not to mention ...]

[Fine, fine, I get it!!]

[Selling your pictures is very profitable, you know] Kay said smugly.

[... ... you're already so freaking rich from the investments and MIB. Why would you even sell pictures of me?!]

[Cuz it's fun] Kay replied with a laugh [It's even more valuable now with the John Wick movie coming out. I'm keeping the good ones to auction after the movie comes out]

[Wait. What good ones? When did you ...]

[Oh! Mum's calling! Laterz!]

Kyle narrowed his eyes at Kay's lame attempt at evading the question. Knowing Kay's tastes, those pictures that she had of him wouldn't be the 'innocent' ones. She liked giving fan service too much.

Looks like Sayuri isn't the only one that needed investigating.
