COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 2 - Season 4 Episode 98

“Let’s get moving now,” Hyson was finally all set to start jumping around again.

“You recharged yourself?” asked Shui Xian.

“Definitely!”

Hyson tried a couple of rides before he decided to check the stalls and play games. He found a stall where one had to throw plastic hoops on the thing they wanted. He immediately pulled out his cash to play.

The other three were just there to cheer him up. At least, that’s what Shui Xian and Zhai Yanjun did. Unknowingly, they had started treating Hyson like a kid who needed their attention and encouragement.

Obviously, Hyson had no problem with that.

He threw the three hoops he got and actually managed to win an action figure, a key chain, and a bracelet. He threw three rings and managed to win back three things. Feeling proud, he said, “Don’t I seem too powerful right now?”

“Very!”

Raelle stared at these two men who seemed to be indulging Hyson way too much right now. Was there really a need to give him a compliment? She didn’t think so. Wasn’t it just aiming at random things? With the precise calculation of distance and knowing how much force to apply on the wrist while throwing the hoop, anyone could win this game.

“You don’t even have to say,” were Hyson’s words to Raelle. “I know you find it too easy.”

“Do you think it was difficult?” questioned Raelle in return.

“No,” he answered honestly.

“Then stop showing off,” said Raelle.

“I was gonna give this action figure to you but now, I’m gonna keep it to myself.”

“It’s not even real,” she pointed out.

“So what? I won it! It has more significance than the one bought with money,” he told her.

“Technically, you also used the money to buy it. Didn’t you pay to play the game?”

Hyson glared at her, “It still has a sense of victory!” He ignored her and went to Shui Xian, “Xian Ge, this bracelet is for you. Let’s say it’s our friendship band. Do you like it?”

“Of course, I do,” answered Shui Xian readily.

Hyson looked back at Raelle, “See that? That’s how you’re supposed to act like a human!”

Raelle nodded her head, “You’re the one who said I am a robot. How can you expect me to act like a human?”

“You really have an answer for everything, no?”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

Hyson took a deep breath to calm himself and gave the key chain to Zhai Yanjun who was taken aback. “You, take this. I don’t need it.”

“He means since you have been accompanying him since morning, he wants to give you something to show his gratitude,” Raelle translated Hyson’s words for Zhai Yanjun.

Hyson looked away from Zhai Yanjun pretending to be cool, as he said, “Yeah, what she just said.”

Zhai Yanjun’s lips stretched into a beautiful arc as he held that key chain in his hand and said, “Thank you!”

“It’s okay,” Hyson shrugged his shoulder still acting cool.

While trying different games, they finally arrived at a stall for shooting targets. Hyson again tried it out but this time, he failed. He could only aim once and even that didn’t drop the target.

“Shooting is different than throwing hoops,” said Zhai Yanjun and stepped up. He stood beside Hyson and patiently instructed him. “It’s easier to shoot these rubber bullets with this gun but the real guns take a lot more effort.” He told Hyson when Hyson finally managed to hit the target like he wanted to.

He jumped up excitedly and punched Zhai Yanjun intimately, “You’re good at it. Of course, I also have talent but I won’t take away your credit as well. You’re a good instructor.”

Zhai Yanjun looked at Hyson with gentle eyes as he nodded his head, “Thanks for the compliment. If you like shooting, I can take you to the shooting range some time.”

“Do you even have time?” asked Hyson in return.

“Well, I can find some time,” said Zhai Yanjun already trying to calculate how much time he could make for Hyson. Since he really wanted to get close to him, he felt like he had to make an effort on his own.

“Aren’t you a battalion commander or something like that?” questioned Hyson.

“I can still take some time,” Zhai Yanjun insisted on that point.

Shui Xian patted Zhai Yanjun’s shoulder as he commented, “You’re trying too hard.”

Zhai Yanjun pressed his lips together as he had nothing to say to that.

“If you really want to take Hyson out to the shooting range,” started Raelle. “You’ll first have to take permission from Yue.” Hyson’s shoulders slumped down as his excitement just flew away. How could he forget that? His mother would never allow him to go anywhere remotely dangerous. And playing with guns was definitely dangerous. “Also, you’ll have to do it within the next few days since Hyson has to rejoin the crew for shooting as well.”

“Saozi, why does it feel like you know about Fai’s schedule more than him?”

“That’s because Ellie knows everything,” Hyson said in a sing-song voice. “She knows what goes around her but she doesn’t know what goes inside of her. If only she could process her feelings the way she processed everything else in her life.”

His words had no effect on Raelle who just reminded him, “It’s getting dark.”

Hyson had already noticed that it was getting dark. In the end, he really spent the whole day in the amusement park.

“There is gonna be a fireworks show in an hour,” said Shui Xian.

“Nah!” said Hyson. “Not interested in that. Let’s leave now.”

“Then let’s go and have dinner,” Zhai Yanjun joined the conversation. “I’ve already booked the place. We just have to go there.” He looked at Raelle and added, “And Saozi, it’s homemade food and they have strict hygienic environments. You can eat at peace.”

“Let’s have dinner then,” Raelle also agreed.. “It’s gonna take a while to get to there as well.”
