1090 All His Fault
Hyson was nosy but he had his limits too. Since Lin Zhen didn’t want him to get involved, he definitely won’t do so. That’s why he decided to step away.
He was thinking about who to look for when he came across the last person he wanted to see tonight. Yup! It was his nominal father, Zhai Kuijun.
As their eyes met across the room, Hyson could see the yearning in Zhai Kuijun’s eyes and it made him uncomfortable. So, he did what he knew best. Run!
Yes, he literally ran and merged into the crowd finally losing sight of Zhai Kuijun. Hyson had a habit of avoiding things that made him uncomfortable. Just like he did with Amiah and now, even with his own father. He wasn’t interested in confrontations.
While looking behind him, he ran into someone.
“Brother, can you watch where you’re going?”
Hyson looked down and was surprised for a moment before saying, “I’m sorry. It’s my fault. Did you get hurt?”
“No,” came the response.
Hyson still looked this little man up and down carefully. Fortunately, this little man didn’t fall from the bump. “Rowan, what a pleasant surprise to see you here.”
.....
Rowan gave him a smile, “Brother, you didn’t even invite me. I’m actually sad.”
Hyson scratched his head, “I knew you’d be here.”
“No, you didn’t,” exposed Rowan. “Originally, only my Baba and Mommy were gonna come. When I learned that it was your best friend’s engagement, I got really curious. That’s why I came.”
“Still, you tagged along with your mom and dad,” said Hyson.
“I didn’t,” replied Rowan. “I came with my grandaunt.”
Hyson frowned, “Your parents didn’t come?”
“They are here,” said Rowan. “But I still chose to come with my grandaunt. You see, it’s not easy to share a ride with parents who are madly, crazily, and absurdly in love with each other.”
“Woah! Are you sure you’re supposed to say that about your parents?” asked Hyson as he took this little guy with him. They sat down together as Hyson took some snacks and offered those to Rowan.
“Why not? It’s an open secret that my parents love each other beyond sanity,” responded Rowan.
“Shouldn’t you be happy about it?” asked Hyson curiously.
“I am happy,” said Rowan. “I told you, I love my parents. I am obviously very happy to see that they have such an amazing relationship that can make anyone envious. But that’s the thing, their love is envious. I’m too young. So, I need a break from their love. That’s why I find escape routes.” He shook his head like an adult who had so many worries weighing down on his shoulders before asking, “When are you joining the production?”
“I just finished with the last one. Give me a week to rest. Besides, your scenes aren’t done yet,” said Hyson. “So, Mr. Child star Chen. Be patient. Patience is a virtue. Cultivate it from a young age. It’ll benefit you a lot when you grow up.”
Rowan chuckled, “Okay. I’ll try my best, brother. How nice of you to teach me these precious life lessons.”
“Oh, I’m just that nice,” was Hyson’s cheeky response.
They were chatting happily as they munched on snacks when they saw a couple walking towards them. In fact, it was more like the man was dragging the woman towards them.
“Sweets, pay attention. We are looking for our son right now!”
“Aren’t I looking? At least give me a moment to look carefully and appreciate.”
“Sweets!”
“What? Rowan isn’t a kid. Besides, he didn’t come with us. He came with Aunt Feifei. Why should we be looking for him? My son isn’t insensible that he’d get lost at an engagement banquet. If he really did, I might as well disown him.”
“Really?”
“Okay. Not disown him but I’d definitely want to shove him back to where he came from to reassemble his faulty parts.”
Hyson leaned towards Rowan who had a helpless on his face and even sighed heavily. It was kinda amusing considering his young age.
“They are your parents?” asked Hyson.
“Yup,” replied Rowan. “They are one unique couple you’d find in your life. Get used to it. If your uncle really married my grandaunt, you’d be seeing them a lot.”
“Look! There is the son you’re looking for. Isn’t he fine? You actually interrupted my sightseeing for this!”
Rowan pursed his lips to suppress his laughter when he heard his mother’s voice again.
His father, Darren also looked over and found Rowan. He finally relaxed and walked over, “If you wanted to come, you should have just come with us. Why bother Aunt Feifei?”
Rowan shrugged, “Baba, why don’t you go and say the same thing to Grandaunt? Let’s see if she finds me a bother?”
“Who finds my son a bother? Which bloody son of a biscuit is it?!”
“Pfft!” Hyson couldn’t stop himself at that moment when he heard Rowan’s mother’s words. “Sorry,” he said when the family of three looked at him. That’s when Hyson noticed that Rowan had the same eyes as his father. They both had grey orbs.
Rowan jumped down and stood up as he started, “Let me introduce you guys. Baba and mommy, this is brother Fai. Also known as Hyson. He is gonna work with me in the new movie.” He took a pause and added, “Also, he is a part of the Xiang family.” Then he looked at Hyson, “And brother, this is my father, Regan Darren Salvay. And that’s my mother, Bai Xiu.”
“Oh, this sight is worth my attention,” said Xiu as she smiled at Hyson and Hyson was almost dazzled. “Considering you’re a part of the Xiang family, that means we’re almost relatives. It’s nice to meet you. I did see your file when you were auditioning for the role.”
Hyson was surprised and looked at Rowan who explained, “My mother doesn’t have anything to do with my work. It’s just that the production is under RX Studios and that belongs to my mother.”
Hyson was suddenly enlightened, “Oh my! You’re the owner of RX Studios. That explains it. I do know you guys.”
“You do?” asked Hyson.
“Don’t you already know that it’s a known fact in the industry that RX Studios was a wedding gift from Mr. Salvay to his wife? In fact, it was even created for her. That’s why it’s named, RX meaning, Regan and Xiu. Right?”
“I almost forgot that my parents’ love was a known story to the world,” commented Rowan tiredly.
Xiu pressed down on his frown, “Lose the frown. How old are you to even frown already?”
Meanwhile, Darren looked at Hyson and said, “Thank you for taking care of our son in the past few weeks. I heard him mention you a lot. He is a very picky person when it comes to making friends so I was a bit surprised when he told me about you. I’m glad he found a friend in you.”
“I quite like him myself,” replied Hyson. “He is cute and acts like a little old man at the same time. Reminds me of myself sometimes. Besides, we even have the same interests. Also, I didn’t do much. I just gave him company. I think I needed it more so he was the one keeping me company instead.”
Darren chuckled at his words, “You’re just as your godmother said.”
“Yanyan?”
Darren nodded his head, “Don’t you know she loves to talk about you and Raelle?”
“I do know actually,” replied Hyson.
Once Xiu was done with her son, she turned to Hyson and said, “It’s nice to meet you, Yue Fai. I have also heard a lot about you.”
“Hopefully, all the nice things.”
“I don’t think people have anything bad to say about you. Even your haters can’t find the right reasons to hate you.”
“I’m just that likable. I know.”
Xiu smiled at him, “I hope Rowan isn’t disturbing you?”
“Not at all,” replied Hyson. “By the way, should I call you boss now?”
“There is no need for that. I’m not interested in that title.” Then she glared at her husband, “It’s all his fault.”
Darren good naturedly nodded his head in acknowledged, “Everything is my fault. Sweets, I already know it’s all my fault.”
“I quite like this, Baobei! One should never shirk away from acknowledging their mistakes. This attitude will take you far.”
“I don’t wanna go far if it’s not with you.”
Xiu giggled and said, “Do you really think I’d let you go anywhere alone? Dream on!”
Rowan tugged at Hyson’s sleeve and dragged him far from them.
“We didn’t tell your parents yet,” said Hyson.
“They don’t care,” replied Rowan. “They already confirmed that I’m doing fine and as long as I’m with you, they have no worries.”
“Your parents have an interesting relationship,” commented Hyson. All the while, he had a smile on his face when he looked at Darren and Xiu. It was like he couldn’t stop smiling when he saw them together. Now he understood why they made people envious.
