Originally, Zhai Yanjun had planned to make a visit to his maternal grandparents house in the Capital but after meeting his father yesterday he dropped his idea for now. Except for his daily training with the squadron, he spent the rest of the time learning sign language.
Today he initially thought of continuing his study but then a certain someone came to his mind and he decided to make a trip to the sanitarium. It just so happened that the person he was looking for at the sanitarium had actually shifted to the biggest private hospital in the city.
Pushing the wheelchair in the garden, Zhai Yanjun questioned out of curiosity, "Weimin Ge, weren't you staying at the military sanitarium? Why did you move here?"
Xiang Weimin moved his eyes to follow the birds in the sky as he replied, "Being a General's son is not easy, Yanjun. I just stayed there for 24 hours and so many higher ups from the base came to visit me."
Zhai Yanjun wasn't surprised by those words but he still added, "It's not necessary that they came to see you because you're General's son. Lieutenant Colonel Xiang Weimin is also well known in the army."
Xiang Weimin didn't really pay attention to his words and casually brushed it off with, "Anyway, I just wanted to stay in a quiet place where no one recognise me."
"That is so like you," muttered Zhai Yanjun.
As the wheelchair turned, Xiang Weimin's eyes fell on a tall and slender figure who was dressed like a thief. At least, to him, that cap and face mask looked rather out of place in a hospital. Because of this suspicious look and also the way that figure's eyes were set in his direction made him raise his brow.
As he observed the other party, his eyes fell on a familiar object.
"Yue Fai?" He mumbled to himself.
On the other side, it was indeed this pair of soldiers that made Hyson stop in his track. He didn't know why he was so surprised that he momentarily ended up even forgetting that he was on a call with Raelle at the moment.
"If you aren't gonna talk, I'm hanging up," Raelle said again when he didn't speak.
Hyson was pulled out of his daze because of Raelle's voice. "I feel like something is wrong with my luck."
"Since when did you start believing in luck?" She questioned.
"Since the time destiny threw me on the same track as you," he answered. He was about to walk away when...
"Yue Fai!"
Hyson heard someone calling his name and stopped. He looked in Xiang Weimin's direction who had asked Zhai Yanjun to wheel him toward Hyson's direction.
In fact, Zhai Yanjun was taken aback when he heard Xiang Weimin calling out Hyson's real name. And for a moment, he even thought he was hearing things because he had been thinking way too much about Hyson and his aunt Yue lately. But as he stepped closer to Hyson, he actually managed to recognise Hyson even with a mask on half of his face.
"Ellie, I'll call you later," said Hyson hurriedly and ended up the call. To be honest, he didn't know why he did that. His body moved before his brain could even process what he was doing.
As Xiang Weimin and Zhai Yanjun came near to where Hyson stood, Hyson had yet to move.
"I definitely didn't recognise the wrong person," said Xiang Weimin with a smile on his face. Although he felt familiar when he looked at Hyson's figure, it wasn't until he noticed the watch on his wrist that he was certain about his identity. After all, the watch that managed to save their lives, how could he not have a deep impression of that?
"Oh, it's Lieutenant Colonel Xiang Weimin," stated Hyson as he stepped over and greeted him. "I didn't expect to see you here." Seeing him on a wheelchair, Hyson inquired, "How are you doing?"
"I'm good," answered Xiang Weimin casually as if his injuries were no big deal. "It looks bad but it really isn't much. I just have to spend extra time on the bed." He sounded quite bitter when he said that. After all, for a active person, it was a torture to spend days after days on a bed doing nothing.
"Yue Fai, what are you doing here?" Asked Zhai Yanjun.
"I had a doctor's appointment," answered Hyson to Zhai Yanjun's question without any hesitation.
Zhai Yanjun frowned, "Doctor's appointment? Why? What happened to you? Is everything alright?"
Hyson ended up smiling seeing his concern which he actually found strange. "It's nothing serious. Just a regular checkup."
"Are you sure?" Asked Xiang Weimin.
"Of course," said Hyson.
As they were talking, they caught quite some attention from the passerbys. Some young girls even pointed at Hyson as they whispered to each other. Noticing that, Hyson lowered the tip of his cap. He really didn't want to be recognised here.
"Since we met here, how about we find a place to sit down?" Suggested Zhai Yanjun as he noticed the situation Hyson was in. He certainly didn't want Hyson to be uncomfortable and he also didn't want Hyson to leave just yet. He didn't even have to find an excuse to go and find Hyson since fate brought him right in front of him. How can he let this opportunity slip by?
Hyson looked at the time and nodded his head. Then he followed the two of them to Xiang Weimin's hospital ward that looked luxurious like a five star hotel and there were even soldiers appointed at his door.
While Hyson followed them he even sent a text back home and informed Mu Chenyan that he'd be late. He didn't specify whom he met but he told her that he ran into some acquaintances so it might take him a while to go back.
Mu Chenyan only texted back with, [Okay! Have fun!]
Hyson smiled at her reply.
"You're not in a hurry, right?" Questioned Xiang Weimin.
Hyson looked up from his phone and shook his head, "Not really. I have so much time on my hand these days that even I don't know what to do with it."
Zhai Yanjun helped Xiang Weimin to bed and then poured water for him. Then he also offered water to Hyson who finally took off his thief attire and ran a hand through his fluffy hair.
"Weimin Ge," Zhai Yanjun called out. "You didn't tell me how you know Yue Fai."
Xiang Weimin looked at his face and said, "Neither did you, Yanjun." Zhai Yanjun pressed his lips together while Xiang Weimin didn't pay attention to it and honestly told him, "This young man here is my saviour."
"Huh?" Zhai Yanjun was surprised to hear that.
"If it wasn't for Yue Fai, I might have died in that pile of snow," Xiang Weimin spoke as if it was a casual thing. He really didn't sound like someone who escaped from the mouth of death. Perhaps, he truly didn't take death that seriously.
Zhai Yanjun was even more surprised to hear that and he looked at Hyson in a different light. "So, it's Yue Fai who became your guardian angel? What a small world." He patted Hyson's shoulder and said, "Thank you so much for saving Weimin Ge's life."
Hyson smiled foolishly, "It's not that big of a deal. Technically, I was just saving myself. He just happened to be there as well."
Zhai Yanjun chuckled at Hyson's reply, "Perhaps you think it's not much but trust me, not just anyone would save a life just because they can."
Hyson didn't comment on that. He didn't want to speak out his views on the dark side of humanity. He had seen fair share of it.
"Well, you didn't say how you know Yue Fai," reminded Xiang Weimin. He thought the way Zhai Yanjun looked at Hyson was quite peculiar. There was a familiarity, some excitement, and even more hesitation. It piqued his interest to figure out what was going on here.
Even now, Zhai Yanjun took a while to think about how to answer that question. And Xiang Weimin didn't think he asked such a difficult question to get such a response from Zhai Yanjun.
"He is my cousin," answered Zhai Yanjun after thinking clearly and deeply about it. He said it so naturally that it surprised the two other people in the room.
Both Xiang Weimin and Hyson didn't expect him to answer in this way and that was why they were both so shocked.
Although Hyson already figured out the relationship between them, it didn't mean he accepted it. But from what he just heard now, it looked like Zhai Yanjun accepted it easily.
"What did you just say?" Asked Xiang Weimin again to confirm that he hadn't heard it wrong just now.
"I said, Yue Fai is my cousin," stated Zhai Yanjun once again and this time he sounded even more confident.
