Chapter 1288 Hugs And Kisses
After Shui Xian took a shower and came out, Raelle had already dried her hair and was now, observing every little thing in this place. Shui Xian shook his head at her and didn't say anything, he walked towards the window. Just as he put his hands on the handle, he heard Raelle's voice.
"Do you want to bring the mosquitos in?"
Shui Xian paused and then said, "No, but I wanna look outside." He slid open the glass windows and stepped out before closing the glass windows behind him. He was actually a little surprised when he found that there seemed to be a small stream flowing down from here. He looked at the environment before he went inside.
"Have you seen enough?"
"Yeah."
"How is it?"
"It's too dark to say anything but I feel like the view from here in the morning will be the best," he told her, his honest opinion. "And I'm quite looking forward to it too. Do you know there is a stream there? Do you think it's artificial? Or is it coming from the mountain spring?"
"Mountain spring," replied Raelle. "I seem to have heard about this."
"Do you think there is a waterfall in the mountain?"
"Why are you asking? Don't tell me you're still in the mood to go on a camping trip."
"I am," he replied. "You just tell me if there is a waterfall."
"I think so."
"You must not know the location. I'll ask Opa when we meet later. Also, let's wake up early to look around this place."
"Are you telling me to wake up early?"
"Quite a useless thing to say, right? How can you be late? What I meant was that you remember to wake me up early."
"Oh." She looked at his still wet hair and beckoned him over. "Come over and sit down here."
"Huh? What happened?"
When he sat down in front of her, Raelle took a dry towel and started wiping his hair. Shui Xian paused and smiled to himself before relaxing.
"My wife is so caring."
"Don't talk if it's not an important thing."
"Okay." Shui Xian was silently enjoying her service and suddenly thought of something, "What do you think about having a photoshoot here?"
"Huh?"
"Even if not the wedding photoshoot, let's have a family photoshoot here. It's the first time everyone is gathering here. I think this is a moment worth recording."
"It doesn't sound that bad. I think most people would love your idea."
"I think so too," said Shui Xian.
"How far is Taileng from here?" asked Raelle.
Shui Xian stiffened when he heard that question and turned his head to look at her, "Why are you asking?"
"That's where you grew up," started Raelle. "Don't you think I should see that place?"
"I don't wanna take you there. For no other reason but that I don't wanna go there myself," said Shui Xian. "If mom hadn't been buried there, I'd never even wanna step a foot in that place again."
"You can't run from your roots."
"It doesn't matter. I can hide," he replied. "Besides, if I wasn't so tired of Taileng, I wouldn't have come all the way to the Kia city. Even Bà doesn't wanna go to Taileng even though he has a deeper connection with that place."
"So, you don't wanna show me where you grew up?"
"The house in which I grew up is occupied by other people now. There are no memories of mine there now. If you want to know something, you should just ask me. I'll tell you everything vividly."
"I don't have such a rich imagination like you," said Raelle.
"That's such a shame." He got up and held her face in his hands before placing a kiss on her forehead, "Thank you for thinking about me so much. But I think it's fine. You told me once that I'd have to tell you things clearly if I want them because you might not be able to figure it out on your own. I didn't mind that back then and I don't mind that now either. I think you shouldn't try to always figure out things on your own. I told you, I'll tell you everything. Even if I want a kiss, I shamelessly ask for it. I think I have gotten quite thick skinned now."
Raelle gave him a small smile.
"Tsk. This smile is all I need lately. I think I'm obsessed with this smile. No wonder I hated your fake smile so much. Only now I realized what I was looking for."
"You talk too much," said Raelle.
"As if I just started talking. Haven't I always been like this?"
"You had reservations when we first met," Raelle pointed out.
Shui Xian laughed out, "It was shyness. Now, we are old couple. What even is shyness between us now? I don't think there is any place for any reservedness too." He held out his hand towards her, "Let's go. Let's try out the specialities of Xinji. It's my first time here. I'd like to see what's special in their cuisine."
Raelle took his hand and stood up. She asked him again, "You really didn't get injured."
"I think my phone has worse injuries," replied Shui Xian as he pointed at the broken screen of his phone. "As for me, I don't think I need a repair. But I might need lots and lots of hugs and kisses to recover."
"I think we should go now," said Raelle.
"Eh? What about my hugs and kisses?" "I don't know what you're talking about."
"No way. Wifey, you're actually playing the oblivious game with me? How could you?"
"I still don't know what you're saying."
Shui Xian looked hurt, "You've injured my poor heart with this attitude."
"How will it get better?"
Shui Xian raised his brows at her knowingly.
"No hugs and kisses," she replied making his lips turn downward. "You seem to love playing around these days."
"Who told you play along?" asked Shui Xian. "It's your indulgence that brought me here."
"It's my fault?"
"Yes!"
