Meanwhile, Hyson threw his phone aside after the phone call and rested his head back. He lifted his hands to rub his face but stopped as he remembered that he was still wearing makeup. In the end, he just sighed to himself, "Ah! I can't believe I'm homesick at this age."
But he was and he couldn't deny that fact too. He really missed home right now. When he said to Grandfather Xiang that he was lonely, he meant it. He was really feeling lonely right now. It was only natural for him to feel this way when he learned that everyone had gathered together on the weekend. How could he not miss home in this situation?
However, that didn't change the fact that he was also happy. Talking to all those people lighten up his mood and he was feeling better. In fact, even everyone on the set felt that he was a lot more happy and active in the afternoon shooting. Even if he looked tired in the morning shoot, he was all freshened up in the afternoon. It really surprised people.
In the evening, he even happily took his manager and went to the KTV.
"Sister Xin, don't leave my side," said Hyson.
"I should be saying that to you," was Li Xinxin's response. "You usually don't join these gatherings and now that you've taken the invitation of He Rou, it's better to play it safe. I don't want you to get into any trouble during this period of time."
"I usually don't get in trouble though," said Hyson innocently. "And even if I did, don't worry, I can solve it."
Li Xinxin eyed him carefully, "Dear Hyson, do you have a backer? Please, let me know right now so I can prepare for the future."
Hyson almost toppled over, "What backer? Do I look like someone's sugar baby? Look at me?!"
Li Xinxin really looked at him and nodded, "With your face, I'm sure plenty wants to be your sponsor."
Hyson shuddered at that, "I'm very capable on my own. I've told you before, I don't need a sponsor. I am more than able to take care of everything for myself."
"That means, you are hiding your real strength," Li Xinxin scrutinized him.
Hyson backed away and avoided the topic by saying, "Oh, look birds!"
Li Xinxin rolled her eyes at him, "It's night. Where are the birds?"
"They must be out there somewhere," he responded matter-of-factly.
"Fine, continue to hide whatever it is. As long as you don't get into trouble, I don't care who you are."
Hyson breathed a sigh of relief. His manager was very sharp and very good at her job too. He suddenly felt like he should just hire her as his personal assistant as well. Being Raelle Xiang's best friend, how ordinary could he possibly be? Even though Raelle could take care of all his troubles, he actually didn't need her to do so. He had been in this industry for too long to understand how it worked. He was capable of taking care of certain matters with his own abilities.
It was just that he was also very fond of being low-key like his best friend. And since all his troubles were sorted out without him lifting a finger, he usually just laid back and enjoyed himself. That didn't mean he was useless by any means.
"Yo, sister-in-law, I'm here!" Hyson opened the door of the KTV room and announced. But he stiffened when he looked at the people inside.
Well, there was He Rou with her manager there for sure. But he was taken aback to see Sora and Amiah as well. Why were all these ladies gathered here? Adding on his own manager, there were five ladies and he seemed to be the only man.
"Hyson, come inside already!" beckoned He Rou excitedly. But Hyson didn't move. He Rou had to come and drag him inside, "I've been waiting for a while. What took you so long?"
"Didn't you say it's just you and me?"
"But didn't you say that can create some scandal?" retorted He Rou cheekily.
Hyson sneered, "Oh? So this is all because of my words?"
"Correct!" He Rou didn't mind dumping it all on his head. She was more than happy to do so.
"Why did you call me here when you have company?"
"To sing!" said He Rou. "To sing your heart and soul out here!"
"Am I your mascot?" asked Hyson.
He Rou patted his head like she was a kid, "Be a good boy, sister-in-law will give you a candy later."
"You really think I'm a kid?"
"Aren't you?" asked He Rou in a rather confused manner. As if she was just realizing that he wasn't a kid. She suddenly chuckled when she noticed his expressions and said, "Aiyo, don't be so angry. It's Sora's birthday today. I wanted to invite her out for some fun. That's why we gathered. And since you're like a little brother of mine, I had to ask you to join us. Besides, I was really hoping you'd sing a song or two in your heavenly voice."
Hyson sighed out, "Exactly why was Zi Hong Ge like you?"
He Rou glared at him, "What do you mean? There is so much to like about me!"
"I can't see," he told her straightforwardly.
"Oh? Then you should see a doctor! Something is wrong with your eyesight!"
"My eyesight is perfect," said Hyson. "It's just that love is blind and lovers are fools. So, I shouldn't even question why Zi Hong Ge likes you."
"Your words are hurtful," said He Rou acting like she was badly hurt by his words.
"Really? That's because I have always loved to damage people," said Hyson and just went to take a seat on the leather sofa but far away from the ladies.. He really questioned himself, why was he here?! No wonder he didn't want to come here, he felt something was wrong. Now, he was stuck with these ladies! Did he look like he had so much patience for the fairer sex?
