Noticing how Shui Xian's attention was on the bleachers, Raelle pinched his chin and made him look at her, "How about you pay attention?" She looked over at Mu Chenyan and said, "Just ignore her."
Shui Xian's expressions cracked, "Is it really easy to ignore her? I don't think so." One had to know it was particularly difficult to ignore Mu Chenyan. Especially now when she was playing the role of an enthusiastic cheerleader. He had no words to describe this scene.
But he still listened to Raelle and paid attention to her. The game began and it could be seen that Raelle wasn't very good at it. She was good at a lot of things but outdoor sports were really not her field of expertise. However, it didn't matter since Shui Xian was quite enjoying directing her around and playing just for the fun of it.
He honestly hadn't played for a long time now. Years actually. So, it almost felt like he was back in his younger days. The only difference was that now, he seemed to be living those moments with Raelle. This thought put Shui Xian in a good mood. It was almost like Raelle was recreating those moments from his past and adding herself to those memories. Although Shui Xian knew that wasn't her intention, he was still more than happy to think it that way.
Raelle suddenly snatched the basketball from Shui Xian and tried to defend against Shui Xian, making sure that he isn't able to take the ball back from her. However, it was as if Shui Xian wasn't even interested in the ball since instead of stealing the ball from her, he hugged her waist instead.
Raelle was still dribbling the basketball with a big human clinging to her back. "Hubby, aren't you suppose to try and take the ball?"
Shui Xian hummed and asked, "Baby, why are you holding the basketball?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"To make sure you don't steal it away," she told him.
"Oh, and I'm holding you to make sure no one steals you from me," he replied solemnly. "To you, the ball is important in this game. To me, you are more important."
Raelle stopped dribbling the ball and looked at him, "Mr. Husband, you really know how to talk."
Shui Xian grinned at her, "I'm learning well from you, wifey!" He even pinched her cheek as he spoke. He pulled out a handkerchief from his trouser's pocket and wiped her sweat saying, "Look at you, you don't even sweat this much when we are sparring. Let's take a break and drink some water." But since Raelle still didn't feel like taking a break, he could only continue with her.
On the other side, Mu Chenyan's face was twitching when she looked at this scene and said, "Remind me why did I think this would be a real game to watch?"
Shui Koshing gave her a look, "What nonsense? Can't you see the players? If my son is playing against Raelle, there is no way he is taking the game seriously."
Yue waved the foldable fan as she gazed at the court with a sweet smile and then typed her phone to let everyone hear, 'Those two are so cute! I definitely like this game better!'
"Oh, I agree," said Shui Koshing as he relaxed and looked at the pair playing around on the court.
Mu Chenyan sighed out, "Damnit! I also think they are cute!"
Yue laughed silently at her best friend while Shui Koshing guffawed without any care.
"What are they doing?" asked Xiang Wai to her brother. "Are they really playing?"
"Nope, they are just flirting," came the answer from Mu Chenyan.
"Well, whatever they are doing, they look good doing it," said Grandfather Xiang. "It makes me feel happy."
Mu Chenyan's face spasmed, "Elder Xiang, you..." She tutted to herself, "Forget it."
While on the court, the husband and wife weren't just flirting. Since Raelle was serious about learning, Shui Xian wouldn't dare fool around with her. He didn't have to worry about her scoring at all. So, he was left teaching her how to defend against the opponents and how to steal the basketball from the opponents. They were only two of them otherwise Shui Xian would have loved to teach her the importance of teamwork in a game.
But considering how Raelle was never gonna play with strangers, he thought this was already enough. As they walked towards the bleachers to rest, Xiang Wai stood up and asked, "So, Raelle did you learn well? Or if brother-in-law is not a good teacher, how about I teach you instead?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXiang Weimin tried to pull her back down, "Stop it, Wai."
"What did I do?" Xiang Wai looked at her brother. "I'm just trying to bond with our sister as you wanted me to." She emphasized the word 'sister' unnecessarily for her brother.
Xiang Weimin knew he won't be able to pull her back now so he just let her be.
"You want to be my teacher?" asked Raelle.
"Yes," answered Xiang Wai. "Why? Do you think I am not good enough?"
Raelle shook her head, "No, I'm sure you're good enough but not everyone is allowed to teach me." Her eyes drifted around before they settled on Mu Chenyan and she thought of something. Pointing at Mu Chenyan, she said, "You have a match with her. If you win, I'll let you be my teacher."
Xiang Wai looked at Mu Chenyan who was dumbstruck since Raelle pointed at her out of nowhere. She only came out to see her Elle and cheer for her along the way. How did the situation turn into this? Was it too late for her to run back home now?
"With aunt?" questioned Xiang Wai as she raised her brow at Raelle.
"Yes, you want to play, Yanyan will play with you," said Raelle. "Right, Yanyan?"
Mu Chenyan's heart shuddered when she heard Raelle's question. Could she possibly say no? Well, the answer was, NO! She couldn't say no at all! Not when the person asking was Raelle Xiang! She was even willing to offer her life. How could she say no to this?
"I'll play," Mu Chenyan resigned to her fate.
