Huang Shuyi was shaken once he heard how Xiang Wai addressed Raelle. And when Raelle didn't seem to mind the way Xiang Wai called her, little sister. He was suspicious before staring at both Raelle and Xiang Wai with a scrutinizing gaze. However, he couldn't really find anything at all. These two had nothing in common.
Oh, wait!
He suddenly realized that these two indeed had something in common and that seemed to be their surname. Xiang. He mentally facepalmed himself and gazed at Raelle curiously. It wasn't that he didn't know that Xiang Wai had a younger sister. He actually knew this fact. As for anything else about this younger sister? It was completely blank.
The only thing he seemed to know about Xiang Wai's sister was what he heard earlier from her that her sister was a genius. His lips twitched as he mentally screamed, 'Genius? That's right! That's a prodigy right there!'
The others around him didn't seem to care about his internal struggle right now at all.
"It seems Major has too much free time on her hand to even take out some time to attend weddings now," commented Raelle.
Xiang Wai's lips curled up as she said, "Doesn't the credit for that goes to you?"
"Oh my, I can't just randomly take credit for anything now," said Raelle. "After all, I didn't even lift a finger. It was all you."
"In fact, I should extend my gratitude to you," said Xiang Wai. "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have realized just how fucked up of a life I had been living for the past few years."
As for how she came to that realization? It was when she had too much time on her hand but had no idea how to spend that time. That's when she realized how far she had come from who she once was. How could work become her life? She was the person who never took things seriously in her life.
She never even took her studies seriously to become a top achiever. Even back then, she'd rather go to watch a ballet or play basketball with college boys. Heck, she didn't even mind spending all day in the internet cafe playing random games.
But now, everything lost meaning to her. Apart from work, nothing was left and this realization left an unsettling feeling in her heart.
"I should say thank you for making me realize that I needed to find myself all over again," said Xiang Wai.
Raelle studied Xiang Wai's face carefully. Her interest was actually caught from the fact that Xiang Wai seemed to have changed from the last time they met. It hadn't even been that long and yet, she could see the difference. The Xiang Wai she met in the interrogation room was too hard on herself.
But the one standing before her right now seemed too relaxed as if she had finally cut off everything that had been tying her down.
How could Raelle not find it interesting?
"Then I'll gladly accept your gratitude," said Raelle. "But you shouldn't be so thankful, I often do such kind acts without even realizing it myself."
Shui Xian lowered his face to hide his smile while Xiang Wai couldn't hide hers. She chuckled at her words and said, "You're funny."
"I am?" asked Raelle and seeing how Xiang Wai nodded in response, she added, "Your sense of humor is broken if you think that I'm funny."
Shui Xian couldn't see it anymore and chime in, "Would you guys like to join us for lunch?"
"Enjoy your date," said Xiang Wai as she pulled Huang Shuyi away from them. It's not like she was oblivious to the relationship between Shui Xian and Raelle. And she didn't even have to be a genius to know this pair of husband and wife were on a date. She didn't wish to play a third-wheeler here.
"I like your sister," commented Shui Xian when Xiang Wai and Huang Shuyi left and settled on a table a fair distance away from them. He frowned to himself, "I'm surprised how Yanjun didn't manage to fall in love with her?"
"And who said he doesn't love her?" asked Raelle.
Shui Xian was surprised when he heard that question from her. "Well..." He couldn't find the right words right now.
"Mr. Husband, everyone has their own ways of love," commented Raelle calmly. "Just because you and I can't understand it, doesn't mean Yanjun had never loved her."
Shui Xian contemplated her words and told her, "But Yanjun told me that even Xiang Wai said to him that he didn't love her. Shouldn't at least she'd have felt if it was love?"
"That could also mean that Yanjun just never knew how to show that love," said Raelle. "He doesn't look like an expressive kind of a person. It wouldn't be a surprise if you told me he doesn't even know how to love."
Shui Xian was suddenly reminded of Zhai Yanjun's family situation and pursed his lips. How could he forget that Zhai Yanjun had long detached himself from everything and everyone in his life? And his detachment was kind of scary as well. Even when he started living with his grandparents, he couldn't change much.
Even though his grandparents loved him, even they hardly had time for him. One was the Dean of a college and the other was a famous traditional painter. They always had their own activities to attend to. In that situation, the meaning of love that Zhai Yanjun knew of or understood was definitely not what he was familiar with.
"Why is it that it's always you who sees things clearly?" asked Shui Xian subconsciously.
"Because I know how to look at things without getting feelings involved," was her answer. Certainly, she wasn't familiar with many feelings but she could still see things clearly.. And just the fact that Zhai Yanjun ditched his blind date with her for Xiang Wai was enough for her to re-evaluate what kind of a relationship these two shared.
