Chapter 1106: [Bonus chapter] Red Hair Couple
"Stubborn?" repeated Zhai Yanjun. "How did you come to that conclusion?"
Hyson gave him a dissatisfied look, "Think about it yourself. When he married your mother, didn't his parents stop him?"
"They did," answered Zhai Yanjun honestly since he heard more than once from people that his grandma was not satisfied with Zhai Kuijun's relationship with Yue Lan. In fact, there were a lot of conjectures out there. Some rumors even said that the reason why Zhai Kuijun wasn't able to have a stable relationship with Yue Lan was because of his own mother who never accepted Yue Lan.
When he was young, he didn't understand it but later he realized that those people were certainly trying to make him dissatisfied with his own grandparents by talking about such things before him. Fortunately, he wasn't a fool.
He could see that even though his grandma didn't like his mother, she hardly ever interfered with the relationship between his parents. The only time, his grandparents really had a big fight with his parents was when they found out about how he almost died because of Yue Lan's carelessness and they took him away from his parents.
Apart from that, he never even saw his grandma talking badly about his mother to his father.
Hyson's voice brought him back to reality.
"But did he listen?" Hyson was asking. "No, he didn't. He still stubbornly married your mother. Later, you asked him to separate from your mother, did he agree?"
"No," answered Zhai Yanjun in a small voice.
"Exactly, he didn't," added Hyson. "Not only that but when everyone said my mum was thrown out of the Yue family for something unforgivable, he still stubbornly didn't believe it. When people told him to stop looking for my mum because she could possibly not be alive anymore, he was yet again stubborn about finding her." He took a deep breath and asked, "Now, tell me, isn't he stubborn?"
Xiang Wai gave him a slow clap in appreciation, "You're good. You learned about Uncle Kui so soon."
"Thank you! Thank you! It's just that I see things more clearly. It's nothing but that the more people tell him to not do something, the more he'd do it on purpose with a rebellious mentality. You understand, brother?"
Zhai Yanjun sighed, "Yes, I understand very well that Dad is just like you."
Hyson lost his smile when he heard and asked, "Like me? How is that possible? I'm very intelligent."
He didn't want to continue this topic since he realized he won't be able to have much of an argument. He also figured out the similarities between himself and Zhai Kuijun. But he was also stubborn enough to not accept.
"So, little brother, how was our dance?" asked Zhai Yanjun trying to change the topic since he saw Hyson's mood clearly.
"It was so-so," said Hyson. "At least, you didn't insult my good name on that dance floor. Thanks for that. Or else, I'd plainly refuse to accept that you're my brother. How would I even live if people knew that my brother couldn't even dance? What a shame!"
"Tsk. Dramatic!"
"I was telling that to my brother. Why are you getting so worked up, Major?"
"Because that's my boyfriend," she shot back.
"Oh, what a good relationship you have."
Ignoring his sarcasm, Xiang Wai happily said, "Thank you for the compliment."
Hyson made a face at her and looked away and so did, Xiang Wai. Zhai Yanjun was left looking at the two of them with a helpless look. Where was he supposed to go? It was truly a task to stand between the two of them.
"Huh? What's that sleepyhead doing with her?"
Hyson got curious about who she was talking about and followed her eyes. When he saw Huang Shuyi and found that he was truly standing with a woman, his gossipy eyes lit up immediately. So, he wasn't seeing wrong earlier, eh!
But since the woman's back was toward him, Hyson couldn't tell for a moment who it was. So, he asked Xiang Wai, "Who is she?"
"Are you blind? That's Gou Jinjin from Aunt Chenyan's maternal cousin's family," she answered.
"Oh, the one from the hospital?"
"Yeah."
"What's going on between them?"
Xiang Wai pushed his head away, "How would I know? Let me see!" Seeing how Huang Shuyi was holding Gou Jinjin's hand, she tsked, "And here I thought he'd become a monk one day."
Hyson chuckled, "How is that possible? Shuyi Ge can never be a monk. No matter how devoted he is, he can never give up his sleep. So, being a monk is not for him."
Xiang Wai also laughed, "I almost forgot. You're right. He can never be a monk with his love for sleep. But now, he is willing to share his love for sleep with a woman. How odd?"
"Why do you sound so weird?" asked Hyson and then shook his head. "Whatever! I'm more curious about how they even met. One is a homebody and the other stays in the hospital. How did they get together?"
Zhai Yanjun listened to them gossiping with so much interest and his face twitched. It was not that these two only knew how to bicker. They were really good at gossiping too once they found common interests. He rubbed his forehead and didn't know what to do. In fact, he couldn't find a place to get between them so he could only stand aside and listen to their conspiracy theories.
Usually, he felt a bit jealous of Huang Shuyi but today, he felt a little sympathy for him.
But that didn't stop him from telling these two, "I think they met at the Xiang Manor."
"Huh?"
"When Raelle was discharged from the hospital. Both of them came over back then," he reminded them.
"That's right," said Xiang Wai. "I almost forgot because she changed her red hair into raven color." She laughed to herself, "They are really a good match. Both had red hairs at the same point."
"Tsk. What a shame that they changed their hair color or I'd call them red hair color," lamented Hyson.
Xiang Wai laughed along with him while Zhai Yanjun rolled his eyes at these two kids.
