Chapter 1016: Fate Between Us
Hyson's laughter got louder and even tears came out from his eyes. He did not expect to hear this.
"Is it really okay for you to say that?" asked Hyson as he wiped his tears.
Little Mr. Chen got up to pat his shoulder and talked like an adult saying, "Don't cry for me. I'm already used to it. Sigh. Life is just unfair to us."
"Okay. You stop making me laugh," said Hyson as he looked at this little kid whose expressions were so precise that he'd make most actors ashamed of their talent. Now, he understood why everyone was raving about this little kid's acting. He was really good.
Chen smiled at Hyson as he said, "Mommy says life's biggest purpose is to make everyone around you happy. Someone has to spread happiness in this world filled with toxicity."
Hyson was momentarily stunned before he sighed to himself, "Kids have big ideas these days."
"Kids are the future," reminded Chen.
Hyson shook his head at this little one before he went back to get his phone and looked through something as he asked, "What do you wanna eat?"
"I told you, I had dinner," replied Chen.
"Then consider it your late-night snack," said Hyson. "Just accompany me with that excuse I haven't had dinner yet and I don't feel like eating alone."
"You should have said that earlier," said Chen. "Let me think... Mmm... I'll take crayfish."
Hyson looked at him suspiciously, "Can you really eat that? I feel like you're too young for that."
"Why is the age involved again? That too in food!"
"Fine, I'll order that," said Hyson. "What should I eat?" Hyson asked no one in particular. He seemed to be asking himself. "Okay, so while we wait for food, let's play a round?"
"Sure," agreed Chen.
And the one little baby and one big baby pulled out their phones to play the game together. Earlier in the day, while talking, they learned that they played the same game so instantly decided to add each other. Of course, Hyson's first words at that time were, "Are you allowed to play games?"
And Chen replied, "I have an hour set aside for gaming in the day. And since currently, I'm on summer vacation, I have a whole 2 hours for gaming in my schedule."
That was the reason why these two made a plan to see each other at night.
They played for half an hour before Hyson's assistant brought the meal. Hyson set up everything on the table and even wore gloves to help peel the crayfish for Chen attentively.
"You should just eat, Ge," said Chen. "I can do this myself. Do you think I can't even do this much?"
"You sure?" asked Hyson.
"Positive!" Chen gave Hyson a look, "I might be an only child but trust me, I'm not a spoiled kid. I'm very capable of taking care of myself."
"It seems you're better than me then," commented Hyson as he picked up his bowl of noodles to eat.
Before he could take the gloves, Chen felt his eyes itching and said, "I'm gonna take off my lens first." He went to the bathroom to take off his lens and also washed his hands. Then he came back to sit with Hyson.
Hyson's glanced at him before going back to eating but stopped and went back to glance at Chen. He blinked as he looked at his eyes with a thoughtful look.
"What's wrong?"
Once Chen took off his lens, Hyson was able to see the real color of his eyes. That was one gorgeous pair of grey eyes. But those eyes were the reason that Hyson felt some familiarity and frowned to himself.
He called out tentatively, "Rowan?"
Chen's eyes widened when he heard that, "Ge, you..."
"Rowan Derek Salvay," Hyson called out his full name. "Right? I'm right."
Chen... Er... Ahem. Rowan was really taken aback, "How do you know my real name? No one in the industry knows. Not even my assistant."
"You just celebrated your birthday recently," said Hyson.
"I did."
"And my godmother was invited to your birthday," added Hyson.
Rowan recalled the people who attended his birthday and he knew for sure that apart from his family, only two outsiders were present and only one of them was a woman whom his grandaunt invited. "You're talking about Mu Chenyan?"
"Yes! That's the one! My godmother. One and only!"
Rowan was really shocked, "No way, right? There is such a coincidence?"
"I'll call it the fate between us," chuckled Hyson to himself. "Yanyan sent me a photo where you're sitting behind her but only your eyes were prominent in the photo. That's why I almost didn't recognize you."
"Now, I can agree with you," said Rowan while Hyson raised his brow in question. "You have an awesome godmother."
"I know," said Hyson. "She is super awesome."
"Well, she left a strong impression since she had an argument with Zhao Zhao. Well, it couldn't be considered an argument since he wasn't exactly saying anything but she had a lot to say."
"She always has a lot to say," was Hyson's opinion. "And the Zhao Zhao you speak of is Xia Zhao?"
"Yes," answered Rowan.
"That's very understandable," said Hyson. "Ellie said they both don't argue. It's their way of getting along. For instance, my way of getting along with my best friend is by annoying her."
"Then you must have a very good relationship with your best friend," said Rowan as he munched on the crayfish he peeled off. "By the way, it seems our families know each other. So, which generation are you from? Am I supposed to call you Ge or Uncle?"
"I'm fine with being called Ge," said Hyson immediately.
Rowan laughed at that, "You're really influenced by your godmother she also told me not to call her grandaunt because she is still too young to be called one."
"That is something our Yanyan would say," Hyson wasn't even surprised.
