Master's Untamed Wife-Chapter 75 - The Credit Goes To...

Shui Xian thought long and hard but he still couldn't recall where he had seen Hyson before. He had a feeling that they had met before but he couldn't pinpoint exactly where.

Hyson chuckled seeing Shui Xian struggling to remember him. "Don't stress over it. I actually didn't expect you to remember me." He meant what he said. It had not only been years, but it was also because Hyson felt like his whole image had changed drastically after he debuted as an idol.

Shui Xian pursed his lips as he said, "I'm sorry but I really can't remember."

"You're actually my senior," said Hyson. "We graduated from the same university." Shui Xian's lips parted slightly while Hyson went on, "We met at the senior-junior dinner party."

Shui Xian nodded his head as he recalled finally, "Ah! I remember now! Someone even bragged about how you're a trainee at an entertainment company already." He rubbed his brows as he went on, "It's been so long that I totally forgot about it."

Hyson waved him off saying, "It's alright. I told you, I didn't expect you to remember me. We only met at those dinner get-togethers a few times. And it's really been a long time."

Their conversation caught Raelle's attention and she turned her head to ask, "By the time you got into university, didn't my husband graduate by then?"

"He did," replied Hyson. And he patiently decided to elaborate for her, "Our university had a tradition, even the graduated seniors of the same roll number would get together to meet the juniors. Coincidentally, in my batch, I shared the same roll number with Master Xian."

Raelle continued to look at him, "But you studied Music."

"So did your husband," retorted Hyson.

Raelle turned to her husband now, "You studied Music?"

While Shui Xian nodded her head, Hyson questioned, "You didn't even know that? Are you sure you're married?"

Raelle stared at his face, "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know that I was supposed to read my husband's resume before marrying him." She took a pause before adding, "Isn't it bothersome to go to such dinners even after the graduation?"

Shui Xian smiled at his wife as he explained, "It's actually not bothersome. This allowed juniors and seniors to have a closer relationship. And the idea of involving the already graduated ones was to allow the juniors to learn something from the seniors who had experience in the real world. I'd say I really liked that tradition."

"I still find it troublesome," replied Raelle.

Shui Xian wanted to say something when Hyson interrupted him, "Don't bother. She can't understand what you're saying. She never even had a normal academic life, how can she even understand the importance of senior and junior's relationship in our culture?"

"And I don't want to understand either," retorted Raelle.

Hyson gnashed his teeth and said, "If the people in life could be defined as a movie genre, you'd surely be named my least favorite one: Horror!"

Raelle looked at her hands as if they were the most important thing in the world as she said, "Oh, you pitiful soul! Even if your hate this horror, yet you have to accompany me to watch the horror movies every single time."

"Ellie, I'm not scared of the horror movies you take me to," began Hyson. "It's the horror of you sitting beside me that is scarier! Didn't anyone tell you that even ghosts are scared of you?"

"I'm very flattered to hear that," replied Raelle.

"You both really don't talk normally?" questioned Shui Xian out of pure curiosity.

"Isn't it pretty normal?" both Raelle and Hyson asked the same thing and at the same time as they shared a look.

Shui Xian nodded his head as he said, "I guess that's the definition of normal between you two."

Raelle offered him a smile before she looked around and asked, "What's taking so long?" She tapped on Hyson's shoulder as she further asked, "What are we eating tonight?"

"Food," he replied.

"I mean what are we having?"

"Apparently an unwanted conversation," was his reply.

Raelle picked up the food knife from the table and traced the edges lightly as she went on, "More than this conversation, I feel like you're unwanted here." 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

Hyson hurriedly snatched the knife from her hand and put it far away from her saying, "Dangerous things don't look good in the hands of dangerous people." He put a hand beside his lips as he said to Shui Xian, "She is dangerous enough without a knife."

"I can hear you," told Raelle.

Hyson cleared his throat and leaned back languidly as he said, "I said it so that you can hear it. I'm an honest and upright man. I don't need to talk behind your back."

"Suddenly, I'm very curious," Shui Xian voiced out. "How did you two meet?"

Hyson looked at Raelle and a sly smile bloomed on his lips. "Should I tell him?"

Raelle's reaction was bland as she said, "What? Are you gonna tell him how your cried and I took pity on you?"

"Hey! Do you even know the meaning of pity?"

"Are you saying I'm telling a lie?"

Hyson couldn't refute her words but he still wanted to correct her, "Even if what you said is the truth, don't change the context of it. Yes, I cried but I had a reason!"

"Just because you had a reason, does that make your crying any less ignoble?"

Hyson took a deep breath and chanted loudly, "I'm a good person. I'm a very good person. I'm an extremely good person."

"What is he doing?" asked Shui Xian.

"He is reminding himself why we had been friends for fifteen years now," answered Raelle calmly.

Hyson exhaled a long breath and looked at Shui Xian saying, "I'm the sole reason why this friendship even exists. She has no hand in it."

"So, you're taking all the credit?" asked Shui Xian in amusement.

Hyson looked at his best friend as he questioned, "Ellie, do you want some credit?"

"You keep it," answered Raelle. "I don't want anything that has no value." Hyson rolled his eyes at her while Shui Xian was left staring at her wide-eyed. "Besides, does it really matter? Whether it's because of you or me, the end result is that we had been together for fifteen years now. Isn't that what really matters?"

While Hyson smiled to himself Shui Xian was yet again stunned by her words.
