Chapter 443: Smart Fish

“I just heard my name,” came a voice from the door. “Who is badmouthing me behind my back?” As Hyson walked into the living room, he saw Zhai Yanjun sitting comfortably with his mother. This scene made Hyson’s eyes narrow. “Opa, didn’t I tell you someone is talking bad behind my back and that’s why I had been sneezing so much? See? Here is the culprit!”

Grandfather Xiang operated his wheelchair to go beside Zhai Yanjun, “Aiyo, it’s Captain Zhai. What an honor to have you here!”

Zhai Yanjun felt embarrassed when he heard such words from Grandfather Xiang, “Granduncle, don’t embarrass me like that.”

“When did I?” said Grandfather Xiang. “However, I can’t let go of the fact that you’re badmouthing our little prince.” Of course, he was taking a stand for Hyson. Even though it was unreasonable. He wasn’t blind. He had seen how Hyson had rolled up his pants to walk into the lake to catch fish. In his own words, he was taking a step into the fish’s home to call them out. And that was the reason, Hyson had been sneezing so much.

However, was Hyson gonna accept that? No! And was Grandfather Xiang gonna expose him? Definitely not!

He’d just stand beside his little prince even if it was absurd.

Hyson proudly puffed up his chest as he faced Zhai Yanjun, “It’s all your fault that I’m sneezing.”

Zhai Yanjun really had no way to argue with both of them and he could only look at Yue Yue pitifully. Yue Yue pulled him behind her and faced Hyson and Grandfather Xiang’s unreasonable stance, ‘What are you both doing? I can understand Fai but Uncle, you too?’

Grandfather Xiang cleared his throat awkwardly, “Little Yue, I can’t leave my little prince alone.”

Yue Yue placed her hands on her hips and glared at him before lifting her hand to say, ‘But that doesn’t mean you agree with all of his nonsense.’

“Mum, you should stop being so obviously biased,” said Hyson. “Your son can get hurt.”

“Who dares hurt my Fai?” came Mu Chenyan’s roaring voice as she heard Hyson’s aggrieved voice. She came rushing to Hyson’s side and looked him up and down, “Fai, who hurt you? Tell me, I’ll avenge you!” She thought to herself a bit and went on, “But you went to catch fishes, no? I don’t think fishes can hurt you.”

Hyson hugged Mu Chenyan, “She hurt me!”

Mu Chenyan looked at who he pointed and faced Yue Yue. Her brow quirked up in surprise, “Yah! I told you to be careful. I won’t be nice if you hurt my Fai. Even if he is your son, I won’t allow you to hurt him.”

Yue Yue rolled her eyes, ‘This family is just crazy about this son of mine. Even if he one day says that the earth is flat, none of you is gonna disagree.’

“Why should we disagree?” retorted Mu Chenyan. “It hurts no one even if he says the earth is flat.”

Yue Yue felt exasperated talking to this family. Especially when it was about Hyson. Whether it was Grandfather Xiang or Mu Chenyan, both won’t say any harsh words to Hyson. The only person who said everything honestly was Raelle but she couldn’t even count on her. It might not seem like it and Raelle might not even know it herself but she was obviously very biased towards Hyson. 

Sometimes she didn’t whether she should feel fortunate that her son had such a loving family or feel distressed that she couldn’t even do anything to this son when these people were around?

“You smell like fish,” commented Mu Chenyan.

Hyson took a whiff of his clothes and made a face, “I really do.”

“How many did you catch?” asked Mu Chenyan while fixing Hyson’s hair.

“None!” Hyson announced proudly. And he even had the mood to laugh out as he said it. He didn’t think it was embarrassing that he spent hours trying to catch fish yet catch none. To him, this failure was nothing. “Fishes have become smarter,” he told Mu Chenyan. “They ran away with the bait before I could even pull them up.”

“Oh, my poor baby!” said Mu Chenyan. “It’s okay.”

“I know it’s okay,” said Hyson. “In fact, Opa caught a lot. He has a whole bucket of them. We can have a whole fish feast if we want to.”

“Really?” Mu Chenyan wasn’t really surprised when she heard that. How could Grandfather Xiang not catch a few fishes? It was too easy for him. “Then tell me what should we make with those fishes?”

“How about we grill some?” suggested Hyson.

“Let’s do that!” She agreed without any hesitation. 

Meanwhile, Yue Yue was shaking her head looking at this interaction and Zhai Yanjun was being amused. His understanding of how this family was kept changing with every visit. It was just as Yue Yue said, they were truly biased when it came to Hyson.

“Elder Xiang, did you have fun?” asked Mu Chenyan.

“How can I not have fun with our little prince around?” replied Grandfather Xiang. He truly didn’t feel bored at all with Hyson jumping around him all this while. 

Mu Chenyan looked over at Zhai Yanjun and smiled at him, “Captain! You’re looking handsome tonight.” Zhai Yanjun felt flattered to hear that from Mu Chenyan and scratched the back of his head. “Don’t leave before dinner. I’ll instruct the cook to make something delicious.”

“There is no need for that though,” said Zhai Yanjun. “I have to go back to the base. I’ll get something in the mess. There is no need to bother you.”

Hyson stated at him, “Do you think you can leave this house without eating? Dream on! People in this house love feeding others.” He wasn’t joking and even Zhai Yanjun understood that much. Every time he came both Yue Yue and Mu Chenyan would ask him about food. It was really like they loved feeding people. “Besides, it’s not like they are especially cooking for you.”
