264 Exorcising Li Yuan (1/2)
Lu Xinyi wasn't a drinker, Lei Xinyi was still on medication to enhance her health which forbade the usage of alcoholic beverages and after her suicide attempt, Su Qing wasn't very keen on drinking till some months or so.
They had decided to not go to their shopping fest instead they were getting cozy sharing stories or rather listening to Lu Xinyi who shared her 'Chronicles of her Satanic ex'.
As compensation for today, they had booked a spa appointment for the coming weekend. Su Qing was taking a new assignment and was going to be busy the whole week, Lu Xinyi had deadlines to catch and well... Lei Xinyi had to find a way to rake her inheritance from her adopted father without actually coming across him…
Tough riddance…
Lu Xinyi was pretty much a very introvert and shy person who talked with numbered words and measured tones but this was till she was on a formal third introductory sentence and then like a motor car, she would go on and on yipping, yapping about anything to everything.
Between them she was the one who was doing all the talking, Lei Xinyi and Su Qing were like decorative wallflowers just working as background in her animated stories giving the occasional Oooh's and Aaah's.
”My ex-fiancé, Li Yuan is an evil creature…”
Su Qing and Lei Xinyi both choked on their drinks. After both got hold of their breaths, they looked at her in bewilderment. They had heard several descriptions of him but this was…improvised...unique.
They looked at each other than the hidden camera they had found in the room, they both passed each other smirks, they were fewer chances he was going to see this but it would be a day if he did.
For almost half an hour they had been hearing Lu Xinyi black-listed people and Li Yan topped the list with a red underline, can't say they weren't entertained. She was just too…vivacious and vibrant in her explanations.
With her wide, adorable eyes, she would describe everything with so much animation and substance you can't help but be amused. At once, Lei Xinyi knew she was an innocent, cute little girl at heart who was too isolated to have bloomed into a woman.
Lei Xinyi's assumption was laced with her own thick, toxic, grey-experience. Her life was a little congested for a bird of her feathers. She needed the breeze in her feathers, the rush of counter winds, and the adrenaline of the alleviation from the ground.
Her heart swelled at the thought of Lu Xinyi being on the pinnacle looking down at the brick-cages below that can't hold her spirits in them. She was just like an untainted, unbroken, and unsoiled version of herself.
Lu Xinyi saw their comical reaction and her face turned serious and her brows frowned, ”…I can swear on it! He drinks the blood of young virgins and then feasts on their flesh, my brother once told me he did this kind of business where he made people disappear and I figured it quickly... If I am going to spray him with holy water he is going to go poof! He is just too evil!”
Lei Xinyi and Su Qing both burst out laughing then coughed hard to cover their laughs. They had to say this was a unique version of defining violence.
Su Qing refilled her glass with the Strawberry Limeade and then curiously asked, masking her amusement, ”Oh, how did you come to this conclusion?”
Lu Xinyi gave her head a nod with a determined set jaw and spoke with a steeled resolve that looked too cute to be malicious. ”He is wicked, conceited, and a satanic preacher! On my eighteenth Birthday after the party, he ran into me resulting in me stumbling and falling in the fountain. And you wouldn't believe he said it was my fault! He even blamed and claimed that he didn't see me there because I am short!”
”…That's evil!” Su Qing nodded her head hesitantly with a face of uncertain amusement as if the mysteries of the universe were being revealed to her.
Lei Xinyi snorted and rolled her eyes, serving herself Panna cotta. She didn't give a damn she was serving herself desert before the actual meal.
