Master's Untamed Wife

Hyson had lunch with Zhai Yanjun and Xiang Weimin. He found these two soldiers to be quite interesting actually. Zhai Yanjun gave off the feeling of a slightly withdrawn person. While Xiang Weimin was somewhat like Raelle who didn't like to talk all that much but if you bring up the topic of his interest, he'd go in detail.

"Yue Fai, your birds are really cute," stated Xiang Weimin after the meal.

Hyson was surprised to hear that. Why did he bring up his cotton and candy? 

"You know my cotton and candy?" inquired Hyson.

Xiang Weimin nodded his head and took his phone to show him, "I just gave you a follow earlier. And I noticed these birds of yours."

"Weimin Ge, when did you start using social media sites?" asked Zhai Yanjun in surprise.

"Didn't you just say that Yue Fai is a big star? I was just looking it up," answered Xiang Weimin. "By the way, these are your pets?"

Hyson sighed out, "No. Those were my temporary companions."

"Temporary companions?" repeated Xiang Weimin strangely. He really didn't know what that meant. Was he that old that he couldn't even understand young people now? "I'm sorry, but I think I'm too old now. I can't seem to understand what you meant."

"I meant that birds are meant to fly, it's not fair to confine them in a cage. When they are given the wings, they should have the right to rule the sky," answered Hyson. "I got cotton and candy only because I really wanted to see these snowballs like birds in real life. It just so happened that my best friend brought these snowballs to me. I was only allowed to keep them for a few days. Now, I've already said goodbye." He suddenly paused and looked quite depressed as he added, "I thought I was getting over it but you just reminded me again. Now, I miss my cotton and candy again."

Xiang Weimin stared at him for a while before saying, "You're really like a kid."

Hyson sniffled as he looked back at him and asked, "Is that why you called yourself old?"

"No, I am old," stated Xiang Weimin.

"I believe you've barely entered your thirties," reminded Hyson. "That's not old. Your life is just beginning now."

"Life begins when we are in our twenties," said Xiang Weimin.

Hyson shook his head, "Twenties is the name of mistakes, struggles, heartbreaks, and much more. The Thirties is the start of a new beginning. When we end up surviving our twenties, that's when life begins again. We take the lessons of our twenties to pave the way for our thirties. Quite worthwhile, I'd say."

Xiang Weimin was momentarily stunned by his words, "I take my words back." Hyson raised his brows at him in question. "You're not a kid. You're a lot more mature."

Hyson chuckled, "Yeah, I also have the same opinion but it's a pity that no one in my family thinks the same."

"Why do I suddenly feel like Saozi really rubbed off on you?" Zhai Yanjun spoke from the side. "I suddenly felt like I was listening to her."

"Is there a difference?" asked Hyson. "Whether you talk to me or her, it isn't that different. Even Xian Ge said that only our exterior is different, the core is exactly the same."

"I have to agree with Xian then," said Zhai Yanjun. "By the way, do you know how much Xian actually showed off to me just because his wife went over to give him a surprise? He pissed me off!"

"Well, why are you jealous? Get a wife," suggested Hyson. "You won't feel anything." He grinned to himself, "I am a big fan of this couple. Even if they kill me with dog food, I'm willing to take it all!" Hyson looked at the time and then said to Xiang Weimin, "It's getting quite late now. I should take my leave. My mum must be waiting for me."

Xiang Weimin actually wanted to hold him back for a while. After all, a person so full of life like Hyson was rare for him. He grew up in barracks where people had always been ready to die for the country. He had been so used to that kind of people that seeing Hyson was like a breath of fresh air. Even without saying a word, one could see a bright light surrounding him like a halo. 

The way he seemed so pure was the reason why he actually called Hyson a kid. Because he couldn't possibly have imagined that he'd one day find such a light in someone other than a kid. He didn't think Hyson was ignorant of the world or its darkness. In fact, he was at the center of it. After all, the entertainment world was known to be murky. However, it couldn't contaminate his heart and soul, how interesting!

But he couldn't possibly stop him from leaving as well.

"If you have time in the future, you can come to see me here," said Xiang Weimin. 

Hyson was a little surprised to hear that but he still nodded his head, "Okay."

"And thank you for giving me your time today," added Xiang Weimin.

Hyson waved his hand, "I told you, all I have these days is time. I have so much of it that even I'm sick of it now."

Xiang Weimin chuckled softly. 

"You get well soon," said Hyson. "As you said, you still owe me a meal."

"I won't forget that," replied Xiang Weimin. 

Hyson nodded his head and offered him one of his most dazzling smiles. "Take care, next time I come, I'll bring my mum's best chicken soup for you."

"Then I'll be waiting for that," said Xiang Weimin. "You also take care of yourself."

"Even if I don't, I have way too many people to remind me that I need to take care of myself."

"You're really fortunate."

"I agree," said Hyson.. "I also think I am very fortunate."
