Negative Digits

"Elle!"

"Yes!" Raelle turned to look at Mu Chenyan who called her.

She looked troubled right now and pointed towards Grandfather Xiang, "Don't you think something is wrong with Elder Xiang? He had been distracted even during lunch. I'm not sure what happened and what is he thinking about."

"Oh, I asked him a question."

That was all that Raelle said but it was enough for Mu Chenyan to get the gist of it. She was all too well familiar with Raelle's 'questions'. They were never a good thing and they never ended well. After all, there were hardly any times when she or Grandfather Xiang were really able to answer her question even when she was a kid.

And now that she was an adult, her questions had become increasingly difficult for both of them to keep up with. Lately, the frequency of questions had decreased but today, she again said something to Grandfather Xiang and made him question plenty of things, leaving his feelings in turmoil.
