Lately, Shui Xian loved to eat at home. It wasn't just with Raelle but also with his father. He couldn't even remember when was the last time he and his father ate together regularly like they had been doing lately. And mostly, the credit goes to Raelle. She was the one who had to have everyone gather around to eat together.
Maybe it was because she was used to having her grandfather and Mu Chenyan. And now that they weren't around, she liked to fill their places with Shui Xian and Shui Koshing.
Nevertheless, the meals had gotten lively. The dinner that he used to eat silently in about 10 minutes would take over half an hour now. Talking about their day, laughing over small things, enjoying the food, all seemed like simple things and yet, all of these were becoming Shui Xian's absolute favorite.
Raelle would always say something that would make the Shui father and son duo laugh out at her adorableness while she'd be left cluelessly staring at them. Shui Xian really believed that it was a blessing to share his meals with family. And absolutely adored these moments.
After dinner, Shui Koshing went out for a walk around the back garden while Raelle and Shui Xian went upstairs.
"I got something for you," said Raelle and Xian at the same time as they stared at each other.
They both paused before saying, "It's ice cream." Yet again, their voices and words overlapped with each other. In fact, they both had a box of ice cream in their hands that they had been hiding behind their backs.
Raelle looked at the Vanilla ice cream in his hands while Shui Xian's eyes were stuck on the chocolate ice cream in her hands as they revealed what they were hiding behind their backs. They both lifted their eyes and looked at each other. Shui Xian's lips curved up as his eyes sparkled and just for a split second, he thought he saw gentleness flash in her eyes. It was momentary but it was enough to make him feel elated.
"Why did you buy ice cream?" Both of them asked simultaneously. This time Shui Xian ended up chuckling at how they had been going back and forth with the same words and at the same time. He really found it strange how they both had the same words at their lips.
"Let me go first," said Raelle and he nodded agreeably allowing her to continue. "You were talking about ice cream in the morning. So, I thought you would like to have some. That's why I got this for you."
Shui Xian's eyes couldn't conceal his feelings at all. It was a pity that Raelle couldn't understand the intense emotions swirling in his ever so expressive eyes.
He hooked his finger and traced the bridge of her nose tenderly as he said, "Since I asked about your preferences in the morning, I was already planning on getting some. How would I know that you'd be thinking the same thing?"
He didn't know whether to laugh at this outcome or cry because he found it so endearing. Just because he talked about it in the morning, she got him the ice cream in the evening. Just what exactly was going through that beautiful brain of hers?
Raelle looked at the ice cream again before saying, "But it's no big deal. You got Vanilla, I got chocolate. Didn't you say in the morning that Vanilla and Chocolate are a perfect match?"
Shui Xian walked up to her and kissed her forehead, "Indeed, these two flavors are a perfect match. Just like us."
"You think we are a perfect match?" she asked looking into his eyes.
Shui Xian gave a gentle nod as he replied, "Why not? Our flavors blend together perfectly. You're Chocolate, I'm Vanilla. Absolute Chef's kiss"
Raelle didn't say anything. She was contemplating about his words. But one couldn't see what she was thinking from her face at all.
"Should we sit together to eat this?" he asked and Raelle agreed because she didn't think there was anything wrong with that suggestion. "Go to the lounge, I'll bring the ice cream."
Raelle nodded and left while Shui Xian instructed a maid to scoop out the ice cream for them. As he came back, he found her lazing around in the lounge while her eyes were stuck on the tv screen. However, the funny thing was that the tv was turned off. She was just staring at the black screen as if there was an important program running before her eyes that she didn't even dare to blink in case she missed out on something.
"Let's watch something," said Shui Xian as he came to sit beside her. He took the remote control and turned on the tv. As he was scrolling the channel to find something, he asked, "What do you want to watch?"
Raelle held Shui Xian's hand to stop him from changing the channel as she said, "Let's watch this."
Shui Xian looked at the channel and looked at her before saying, "Wife, you really want to watch a documentary of deadliest wildlife?" Raelle nodded her head. "Really?" he inquired again emphasizing his words.
Raelle noticed the change in pitch of his voice and asked, "Is there something wrong with it? It's informational. Besides, I don't think you'd be expecting me to watch Doraemon."
Shui Xian's eyes widened in surprise as he said, "I was not even expecting that you'd even know about Doraemon."
"I know that cat very well," replied Raelle. "Hyson used to say he wished to have Doraemon's 'Anywhere Door'."
"Oh, why?"
"He said if he had the 'Anywhere Door', he'd be able to meet me every day. All he would have to do is open the door and he'd be with me. Quite unrealistic I would say," she stated matter of factly. "That door is clearly defying the laws of physics. It's almost like jumping space and time which is highly unlikely to happen with our current technologies."
Shui Xian scooped some ice cream and put it into her open mouth saying, "My choco, here eat some vanilla."
** 'Anywhere Door': For some bizarre reason if someone doesn't know about Doraemon's 'Anywhere Door' then I'll let you know. It's a door that can take you to any place you want to go. All you have to do is, open the door and Viola! You're already there in the blind of an eye! Quite amazing I'd say. And all Doraemon fans at least once dreamt of having that door. I know, I did.
