Quite Dumb

"Really?" It still took Xiang Weimin to process Zhai Yanjun's words. But no matter how chaotic his thought process was, he would never let anything show on his face. As a soldier, he knew well enough how to hide his true feelings. He looked at Hyson with an inquisitive look in his eyes.

Hyson shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly as he told him, "Don't look at me. It's my first time hearing about this as well."

Zhai Yanjun turned to Hyson when he heard him say that so casually, "Are you serious?"

"I'm always serious," answered Hyson with a good-mannered smile on his handsome face.

"So, you don't know that we are cousins?" inquired Zhai Yanjun. He didn't believe it for a second that Hyson didn't know about it at all. 

"I haven't been told before," was Hyson's reply. "My mum never introduced you as my cousin."

Zhai Yanjun gaped at him in disbelief, "But it's not like you can't see it. You're smart enough to understand what's going on."
