Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 930: Turtle Soup

Hyson continued to observe the simple furnishing of the room with keen interest. And through his observation, he was able to notice quite a few details. The interior might be simple but everything was high-quality. That wasn't the surprising part since Hyson could already tell that the young master before him was from a wealthy family.         

    

But now, he was thinking about it deeply. It seemed he was being very shallow when he assumed that the person before him was just another rich scion. From what he noticed, Young Master Ru's background wasn't all that simple. It could also be said that the background of this person was terrifying.     

He watched how Ru fixed the drone and used the remote to test it before a satisfied expression appeared on his face. Then he took out chocolate from somewhere and started munching on it while his one hand continued to tap on the keyboard. Lines of codes appeared on the computer screen but Hyson didn't understand any of it.     

"Why are there so many eyes following you? Isn't it uncomfortable?"     

If he hadn't spoken, Ru almost thought no one was around. His green eyes fell on Hyson once he heard that question. He was certain that Hyson didn't learn martial arts. So, it came as a surprise that he could still tell they were actually alone in this courtyard.      

Young Master Ru had to say, Hyson was very sensitive to his surroundings. That was a good trait.     

On the other hand, Hyson didn't think much about this trait of his. He was particularly sensitive to emotions and his surroundings from a young age. And from the moment, he ran into Ru, he felt like he was being watched. He could tell there was something in the darkness keeping an eye on him and he was particularly unsettled because of this knowledge. He could tell there was no malice in that gaze following him but it wasn't a good feeling anyway.     

In fact, it was this vigilance of his that saved him from paparazzi plenty of times. He wasn't new to this feeling of being watched but this time it was still different.     

"It isn't uncomfortable once you learn to ignore," replied Ru honestly.     

  Hyson frowned slightly before asking, "Are you perhaps from the royal family or something? Why else would you need so many people to protect you?"     

"They aren't here to protect me," told Ru casually. "They are keeping an eye on me."      

Hyson's eyes widened when he heard that and ran over to her side before whispering, "Are you held captive? Blink once to let me know, I'll find an escape route."     

Young Master Ru stared at him as Hyson blinked his eyes so innocently at him catching him really off-guard. He was not expecting this reaction. Not at all. So, he threw his head back and unrestrained laughter resounded in the room.     

Hyson was still seriously waiting for a response. Young Master Ru felt an urge to tap his nose once more but he held himself before he shook his head saying, "You have guts, I'll give you that."     

"I know I have guts," Hyson took that compliment happily. "If I didn't, how else would I have snagged myself the most difficult person in the world as my best friend? That's my proudest achievement in my whole life."     

"Do I look like a weak and helpless captive?" asked Young Master Ru seriously but that smirk was still playing on those lips as if it was permanently etched there.      

"You're neither weak nor helpless," commented Hyson. "I'm still gonna go with my earlier conjecture that you're from a royal family."     

Ru neither agreed nor denied his words.      

Now, that Hyson stood close to his working table, he could see all the small machinery parts that he couldn't even recognize at all. He looked at the computer screen and the codes had vanished. Now, the screen showed the image of a flowering plant. Hyson didn't recognize what this plant was but it seemed to be glowing at night.      

"Your paperweight is so realistic," commented Hyson. "It looks like a tiny turtle." He even poked the turtle shell and was startled a little when the turtle came out of the shell for real.     

"That's a real turtle," said Ru. "Not a paperweight."     

"It's so tiny," said Hyson as he continued to tease the turtle happily. "Who keeps turtles on their working desk?"     

"It likes it here," replied Ru.     

Hyson gulped suddenly and said, "I'm suddenly craving some turtle soup."     

Ru gave him a disbelieving look and he smiled sheepishly in response. Even the turtle felt his 'evil' intentions and hid back in the shell from this 'monster' who planned on turning it into soup!     

"You don't look at me like that," said Hyson. "I haven't had any meat today. So, I'm just craving it a little." He pouted, "I know I shouldn't have such thoughts about your pet."         

    

"I won't call it a pet," said Ru. "But I still won't allow you to eat it."     

"I know I can't eat it," muttered Hyson. "I was just saying."     

Ru pulled out a lollipop and offered it to him, "You can eat this instead. I can't offer any meat. I would have gone fishing but I'm in no mood of kneeling once again in the meditation room, so this is all I've got for now."     

From that Hyson easily understood that Ru had already taken fish from the pond in the temple and even got punished for it. He almost laughed out at the thought because honestly, he thought Ru was the person with the aura of a leader. So, imagining such a person was also punished really was entertaining.     

Unknowingly, Hyson stayed with Ru for three hours. Even he didn't realize it had been so long and he only got up to leave when Ru said, "You should go back now to rest. It's about to rain. You won't be able to leave in a while."     

Hyson looked out and said, "The sky is full of stars. It's not gonna rain."     

Ru just stared him at him, "It is about to rain."     

Hyson didn't know why he could argue anymore and silently stood up to leave. He said goodbye and left. His earlier fright of ghosts was long forgotten. He found his way to the resting quarters and as soon as he stepped under the eves, he heard a rumbling sound before the rain came pouring down with vengeance.     

Hyson froze and looked back slowly before he said, "It's raining."
