Xiang Wai had raised her fist as if looking for a fist bump but Raelle didn't react. Obviously, she knew what the other woman wanted but did she look like someone who did fist bumps with people? But seeing how Xiang Wai was still holding up her fist, Raelle moved her bow and bumped it lightly with her fist.
Shui Xian pressed his lips together at seeing this special fist bump. Oh, it was just as special as his Raelle.
"Who will go first?" asked Xiang Wai as she put down her hand by her side. She was a little disappointed and a bit uncomfortable at how Raelle refused to even touch her fist with her own. But thinking back to their interaction in the interrogation room where Raelle definitely didn't like anyone touching her, she lost her disappointment.
"You can play rock, paper, scissors," suggested Shui Xian from the side.
"Or we can just toss a coin," added Raelle.
"Baby, but do you have a coin? Because I certainly don't have it," said Shui Xian. "And I believe Major here also doesn't carry coins."
"That's true," agreed Xiang Wai with him. She didn't even carry cash on her, why would she carry coins?
"Let's go with rock, paper, scissors then," said Raelle. It was ridiculous but it was a fact that Raelle had never played this game before. Not even with Hyson. What was the point in playing rock, paper, scissors? So, she just casually threw out a paper and lost because Xiang Wai went for scissors. "You go first."
Raelle stepped back and watched her attentively. Xiang Wai was completely serious as she held the bow in her hands. With a predator's gaze, her eyes locked on the target and she shot her first arrow. And without stopping, she continued to shoot the rest of the arrows.
Looking at the back of these two sisters, Shui Xian had to say they both exuded confidence and arrogance in their own ways. And yet they both were so different from each other. It was a marvel.
When Xiang Wai was done shooting, her score was told, "98"
Xiang Wai was quite satisfied with that. If it had been shooting with guns, she knew she'd have done even better. But no one used arrows these days except for those who had archery as a hobby or those who joined competitions. So, it wasn't every day she'd pick up a longbow.
But of course, she wouldn't use that as an excuse if she really lost.
"Your turn," she said to Raelle.
Raelle just stood with her bow in hand as she continued to look at the target. In her mind, however, a lot of things were going on. Like calculating the distance, velocity, and stuff. And seeing her like this, Shui Xian's mind played an image of how different formulas were running in her mind. Like they showed in movies. He was pretty amused by his own thoughts.
Once Raelle raised her bow, Xiang Wai was left staring. Not a single of her arrow missed the target. Xiang Wai to pick her up and send her to the Olympics! Why was she wasting her talent here? But thinking about how Raelle had more than one talent, she sighed out inwardly.
"100," said Raelle. "I won."
Xiang Wai couldn't possibly deny that. Of course, it was obvious that she won. She obviously wouldn't accept that in her heart, she was bursting with pride at the thought that this young lady was her sister and she was amazing!
Xiang Wai sighed, "Okay. What do you want?"
Raelle faced Xiang Wai and was about to speak when she heard the ringtone of her phone and turned her head. Anna ran over to her side with her phone saying, "You have a call, Missy."
Raelle looked at the caller id and took the phone from her. Instead of answering Xiang Wai first, she attended the call saying to Xiang Wai, "Excuse me. Just give me a moment." She took a step away but didn't really walk away from there.
From the other side, she heard Hyson's voice, "Thanks for the ointment."
"Who are you talking to?" asked Raelle.
"Oh, my manager!" replied Hyson.
"And what's that ointment for? Did you get injured again? How come I wasn't informed?"
Hyson rolled his eyes at her words, "I needed ointment for mosquito bites! Do you know how many mosquitoes there are here? I tell you, a whole lot! I was being a good boy just sitting outside waiting for my scene last night. But as if the mosquito clan had a blood debt to collect, they sucked me dry!"
Xiang Wai pursed her lips. Yes, she could hear Hyson's voice from her place. Even Shui Xian could hear it who was even farther from her. Why? Because Hyson was practically yelling out his grievance right now. Xiang Wai was even more surprised by the fact that Raelle didn't have any reaction to such words.
"Ellie, I felt so wrong! My precious blood could have been donated to someone in need but it's wasted on fattening those blood-sucking monsters! How unfair!" He felt like his blood was wasted. Really wasted! What a tragedy it was!
"Dramatic," was Raelle's only response to him.
Of course, he knew he was being dramatic? But who asked Raelle to be so indulgent towards his dramatic antics? And even if he was being dramatic, would he accept it just like that? The answer was clearly, a big fat no!
"What do you mean by dramatic? I'm serious right now. I had so many mosquito bites that I had been itching since last night. I felt like I was gonna peel off a layer of my skin. Those bloodsuckers really thought I was a snack or something."
"Aren't you one?" asked Raelle in return.
"Huh?" Hyson was taken aback by her question.
"Don't you say you're a snack? Then why don't you allow someone to snack on you now?"
