Chapter 1265 Too Lazy To Come
*Ring!*
Hyson glanced at his tablet and so did Rowan. Seeing the caller id, Rowan stood up and said, "Your mom is calling. I'll give you the privacy. See you later!"
Hyson waved at him absent-mindedly. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to take the call. Something was on his mind and it was very obvious. He sighed and finally connected the call.
"Hi, mom! How are you?"
Yue Yue glanced at his big smile and cheerful tone which she was too familiar with. 'What took you so long to take the call? Don't want to talk to mom?'
Hyson smiled at her question and shook his head, "How is that possible? I was just taken aback that you called me during the day which doesn't happen unless it's an emergency. So, I was a little scared to take the call just now."
Yue Yue was stumped for a moment because of his response. 'What do you keep thinking in that head of yours? Can't you think positive? Can't I just call because I want to see my son?'
Hyson gasped in disbelief, "That's even more shocking."
Yue Yue narrowed her eyes at him, 'What do you mean? No, what do you really mean by this? Do you mean I really can't call you just because I wanted to see you?'
"I didn't say that," he replied. "I'm just touched to see that my mom is caring about me so much."
'I have always cared about you.'
"I know."
Yue Yue thought about something and asked, 'Is it because I haven't called you that much lately that you're broody? Or do you think I'm giving your dad a lot more attention than you?'
Hyson laughed at that, "Although it's true that you are giving more attention to your boyfriend, it doesn't mean I'm mad about that. I'm not mad. Neither am I sad. Nope. Not at all. I'm not a kid anymore, mom. I'm at the age where I think it's fine if I don't get to talk to my mother every single day. After all, you have your own life and I have my own too."
'Are you sure?'
"Sure," he replied with a smile as he thought that he was really not a kid anymore. Not the same kid who really thought that his mother gave more attention to the man in her heart and mind than the living, breathing little son of hers. He might be jealous of that man back then but not anymore. In fact, he had long expected it.
His mother's life won't revolve around him once Zhai Kuijun came into the picture and he was very well aware of that from the beginning. But as he said, he was no longer a kid and it didn't matter. It was actually even better if his mother shifted her attention away from him. At least, she looked happier right now.
What more could he ask for?
"Mom, there really isn't any special reason you're calling me right now?"
Yue Yue remembered and asked him, 'Do you know that there is a birthday party at home this week?'
"I know. We are welcoming the youngest member of our family."
Yue Yue wasn't surprised by how naturally he always considered himself a part of the Xiang family without any burden. And she couldn't say anything about it too since this was truly a family of hers and his too. She wished he could consider his father to be family but she knew she couldn't rush it. In fact, even if they took it slowly, it was highly possible that he'd never get to the stage of considering Zhai Kuijun his father or his family.
She knew about her son this much. 'Yes! It's Justin's birthday. I was wondering if you'll be able to come that day? Can you get a day off?'
"It's not about a day off," said Hyson. "It just so happens that the production team is rushing to finish Rowan's scenes these days since his summer vacations are ending and he has to get back to school. So, I have a lot of free time."
Yue Yue frowned, 'Then what are you doing there? Can't you come home?'
"What if I say I don't want to?" asked Hyson.
'What?!'
Hyson grinned at her in response, "I'm too lazy to travel, mom. Have some pity on your son."
'You're becoming wilful!'
"Wasn't I always wilful?" retorted Hyson. "I thought I always was. How come you didn't notice as my mother? Or you can't see your own son's flaws? That's not true. You love pointing out a million flaws in your own son. How could you not see this one?"
'I love pulling your ear too,' said Yue Yue. 'You better protect your ears when you come back. When did I point out your flaws? And even if I did, aren't I just reminding you of your flaws so that you can do a better job at hiding them from the world? You should thank me for helping you keep up with your perfect facade all these years.'
"Wow! I have an awesome mom!"
'I'm not so easily coaxed!' Yue Yue pouted at him unhappily. 'You better not come. Lazy little lunatic!'
Hyson pursed his lips to hold back his smile.
'If you are so courageous, don't dare come!'
"Huh? What does that mean?" asked Hyson. Yue Yue didn't respond and hung up the call instead leaving Hyson baffled. Once she was done, she thought, 'Ah! I forgot to tell him that someone was coming to see him. Forget it. He'll find out anyway! Let's see how you dare to refuse her! Huh!'
She was really mad at this insensible son right now and didn't even want to talk to him. What did he say? He was too lazy to come and see her? Hmph!
She picked up a pillow beside and threw it away. It just so happened that Zhai Kuijun was standing there and it hit him on the face. Hearing the groan, Yue Yue froze and looked over to see Zhai Kuijun. She smiled at him sheepishly.
