Chapter 1015: Little Mr. Chen
Hyson had a lot more to say and Zhai Yanjun knew it too that's why he hung up to escape leaving Hyson with a stifled feeling. Once he hung up, he leaned his head against the headrest and closed his eyes before he laughed to himself. Anyone who saw him laughing all alone inside his car which was currently parked on the side of the road would assume that he had lost his mind and it wasn't that far off.
He already was happy knowing that Hyson was his little brother but now, he was even happier after bickering with this little brother. Hyson always had his own views and ideas that Zhai Yanjun knew all too well. So, he wasn't really surprised by how Hyson spoke. His assumption was proven true that Hyson already knew about their relationship. And just as he thought, he wasn't willing to accept it either.
It only strengthened his belief that his idea was right. The true way to achieve his dream of having a warm family was to approach Yue Yue instead of Hyson. Because once you get Yue Yue, Hyson would have no way to resist. It was just a proven fact.
On the other side, Hyson paced around trying to figure out what to do. He knew his mother. Once Zhai Kuijun really got serious about her, she'd be a goner. No, she was a goner for far too long already.
When had she ever stopped loving him?
At least, Hyson didn't think his mother was ever able to stop.
And that was the truth as well. Hyson knew it!
Oh, this was so frustrating!
'Calm down, Hyson! Calm down!' he mentally reminded himself.
"We are ready for you, Hyson!"
Hyson heard the voice of the staff and nodded his head. He closed his eyes to adjust his emotions before he went to get done with the scenes of the day. The sun had already gone down at this time. By the time, he was done, it was already 9 o'clock.
Hyson went straight to his hotel room as always.
And by now, his emotions had actually come under control too. Now, that he thought about it, why was he mad? Did he really want his mother to spend her life alone as she did before? To be honest, he didn't. He knew that no matter how much he loved his mum, he wasn't able to stay with her at all times.
And even if Mu Chenyan took care of Yue Yue now, it didn't mean his mum wasn't lonely.
Love leaves a void in your heart that only love can fill. Nothing can replace it. No other emotion. You either replace your feelings for one person with another or get the same person back. Because there was no other way to escape the emptiness that loves left behind.
Although Hyson never loved someone to this point, he had heard about it all.
And since even after all these years, his mum wasn't able to fall for another person it only meant she was still not willing to offer that love to another person.
*Knock! Knock!*
Hyson walked over to open the door and looked at the kid standing outside.
"Oh, hello, little Mr. Chen!"
The kid's facial expression didn't change but his eyes showed how displeased he was with that title. "Hello to you too, little Mr. Hyson!"
"How am I little?" asked Hyson.
"How am I little?" asked Chen.
"You don't even reach my chest," Hyson pointed out.
"You adults only know how to bully kids with height, eh?"
"It's stating the obvious," said Hyson. He laughed softly and stepped aside saying, "Come inside. I didn't think you'd come."
"You're the one who invited me over," replied Chen. "Since we have so much in common, I thought I should go over."
"Have a seat. What do you wanna drink? Did you have dinner?"
"Water is fine and yes, I have had my dinner. I can't skip it or delay it. My mommy will go haywire if I do that. She is particular about food. I still remember when she made me only watch my favorite food for days and didn't even let me touch it. It was torture."
"Why did she do that?" asked Hyson curiously as he passed the water bottle to him.
"Because I didn't eat my lunch box," replied Chen. "She says food is important for life. We work for food. If there is no need to eat, why else would we be toiling around? The biggest joy of life is to be able to taste the delicacies the world has to offer."
"I like those views," said Hyson. "Because I agree. You can never be careless with food. Food is a blessing. You don't understand the pain of being hungry. People who survived the years of famine knew what food was really worth."
"Did you face the years of famine?" asked Chen.
"No," replied Hyson.
"Then how do you know it was painful?"
"Because I have gone through the feeling of hunger."
"Really? Had a difficult childhood?"
"You're really straightforward," commented Hyson. "Good thing I am too. And I'm also used to straightforward people. But yeah, I had a difficult childhood. But the feeling of hunger was mostly because of those stupid bullies who used to snatch my breakfast and lunch money."
"Tsk. You couldn't even fight back? Just give them a few punches."
"And you're violent as well."
"Thanks, I learned it all from my mum."
Seeing how proud he looked saying that, Hyson was really amused and asked, "And what did your dad teach you?"
"Baba teaches me a lot of things. Mostly, he teaches me how to be a good kid. It's just that secretly, I'm more influenced by my mommy."
Hyson shook his head at him and said, "Let me tell you a secret, I'm also more influenced by my godmother. My mom is awesome but my godmother is super awesome."
"Same! My Baba is cool but my mommy is super cool!"
"So, you like your mom more than your dad?"
"No," replied Chen immediately. "I don't put both of them at the top of my list."
"Oh? What a surprise! Why not?" asked Hyson.
"Because they don't put me at the top of their list," answered Chen. "If you ask my mommy who she loves most. The answer would always be, 'My Baobei!' And let's get this clear, I'm not the Baobei she speaks of. Her precious baby is my Baba. Sometimes I feel like she got me in the one plus one deal."
Hyson pfft-ed at that and asked, "What?"
"No, seriously! She only wanted my Baba. I just happened to be involved in the deal package."
