Hyson had to say though, Lin Zhen was rarely wrong. The man might hide his devious self behind a sweet smile, but he had a keen gaze for people. He could literally read each of his group members like the back of his hand. In fact, over a month ago, Lin Zhen had actually stated that he felt like Pei Zi Hong was seeing someone.
The rest of them didn't take him seriously. And the result was? They all had to find about Pei Zi Hong's dating news through news portals.
That was one of the other reasons why Hyson found Lin Zhen scary but also admirable.
While Fang Yiwen sat down beside Hyson, the latter couldn't help asking, "Wen Ge, when did you change your hair color?"
Fang Yiwen gave Hyson a look before picking a deep-fried dough stick, he leisurely bit into it before replying, "If I kept my signature silver hair for live streams, it'd give me away."
"Wouldn't you have more fun playing if your fans know it's you?" inquired Hyson curiously.
"That'd be no fun at all," retorted Fang Yiwen. "I want my viewers to watch me play for my skills. I'm not selling my face."
"But I think your face value is very high," remarked Hyson.
Fang Yiwen snorted, "Are you that oblivious?"
"What do you mean?" questioned Hyson in confusion.
"Between all five of us, you have the highest face value," said Fang Yiwen straightforwardly. "You have the face to topple the dynasties." Hyson gave him a glare but it didn't faze him at all. "You not only have the cleanest and purest image before the fans, but you also are known as Nation's Adorable Little Brother."
Lin Zhen chuckled as he agreed, "I saw that post as well."
Hyson looked completely oblivious to what they were talking about and seeing how confused he looked, the other two weren't even surprised. Even though Hyson had been in the entertainment industry for years, he had the least interest in keeping up with the gossips of this industry. All of his free time was spent acting spoiled whether it was around his mother or his best friend, it didn't matter. He just had to act spoiled.
"What does Nation's Adorable Little Brother even mean?" asked Hyson as he put his chopsticks down.
"It means that you are able to evoke every girl's motherly nature. They all get the urge to pamper you. And it comes naturally," told Fang Yiwen with amusement dancing in his sleep-deprived eyes. "They all want to pack you up and take you home before smothering you with love and care."
Hyson felt slightly uncomfortable hearing that and suddenly shuddered, "I have enough people to pamper me."
Fang Yiwen burst out laughing at Hyson, "Xiao Fai, how can you be this cute? Are you really scared of women?"
Hyson narrowed his eyes at Fang Yiwen for a long while in silence.
Fang Yiwen already had a very pale complexion. So white that he might come off as delicate. But since he had been staying cooped up in his room for days now, he looked even paler now. He hadn't even been taking care of his meals or his sleep which really made him look like a vampire now! Especially with his two prominent canines which he liked to lick flirtatiously.
Hyson sighed out at his condition before saying, "I'm not scared of women. I would just like to keep my distance from them."
Actually, since Hyson had grown up seeing exceptional women around him, he was rather picky about the kind of female company he would like to keep. Whether it was his own mother, Raelle, or even Mu Chenyan, all these women were exceptional to him. With such females around him, how could he want just anyone in his life? That bar was set too high!
"Xiao Fai, you are really like a little boy," commented Lin Zhen with a shake of his head.
"Zhen Ge, I'm only a little boy for my mum," retorted Hyson.
Hyson himself never realized that since everyone in his group treated him like a little brother, he had become so accustomed and comfortable to it that the spoilt nature that only came out before his mother or Raelle, had also been occasionally shown around them as well. And in fact, they all considered Hyson to be like a little boy because of his pure mindset.
Just like Raelle, he also didn't realize that his antics made him appear adorable.
"By the way," Fang Yiwen put down his cup of soymilk as he said. "Xiao Fai, give yourself a break."
"Says the person who hasn't slept in over 48 hours," Lin Zhen chimed in with a snicker.
Fang Yiwen didn't mind Lin Zhen's words. He knew the latter was just concerned for him and that's why he never minded any of Lin Zhen's words.
"That's different, Zhen Ge," stressed Fang Yiwen. "I'm enjoying myself while playing games that's why I lose track of time or anything else. Our little brother is different." Fang Yiwen lifted his hand to rub Hyson's head as he went on, "This little guy loves to stress over things. He hasn't been sleeping well because he is worried about the audition."
Hyson was taken aback by his words, "Wen Ge, how do you know that? You didn't even step out of your room."
Fang Yiwen offered him a smile, "Our little brother, I don't even need to keep an eye on you to know what's up with you. When you're worried about something, you try to hide it but in the process of hiding it, you end up making your mood very obvious."
Hyson lowered his head and grumbled to himself unhappily before saying, "I just don't want to fail this audition. Our future depends on it."
Lin Zhen patted Hyson's shoulder as he gave him a reassuring smile, "Xiao Fai, enjoy yourself. You don't have to carry this heavy burden for all of us. You need to go to that audition with only one goal; To have fun!" Hyson looked at Lin Zhen as the latter went on, "So what if you failed? One must try all the dishes before deciding on his favorite. If you won't try this audition how would you know whether you like it or not?"
Hyson pursed his lips before saying, "I think I'm bound to meet all the zany people. And yet, I like all of these zany people around me."
Obviously, Raelle was a part of those madcap people along with his group members. Each person was a weirdo and yet, they all had found a place in Hyson's life. He really felt blessed to have all of them in his life.
