"Where did you go?" asked Shui Xian.
"I just saw my parents whispering in the corner, I went to remind them that lunch is served but ended up eavesdropping on their conversation."
"And?"
"And then I couldn't stop myself from saying a thing or two to them," replied Raelle.
"What did you say to them?"
"Let's talk about it later," said Raelle as she pointed at everyone around. "It's not like I won't tell you anything. I'll share everything with you."
Shui Xian chuckled softly and nodded his head. He pulled the chair for Raelle and only sat down once she did. After that, he wiped the cutlery once again with a napkin before passing it to her.
Raelle looked at Shui Xian's movements intently. Even though he was just following the same routine as he did whenever they ate together, she still couldn't look away. She felt a burning gaze settle on her and turned her head to meet Hyson's smiling eyes.
"Is something funny?" she asked.
