Chapter 8 - Uncle Touched Kiddos Bottom-line (2/2)
That innocent good girl was gone. Not even her she'll remained. Now's Xiu was anything but a good girl. At least, she held this belief.
The man she left behind was however had some other things going on. It was the very first time in his life that someone had dared to treat him this abrasively. He couldn't believe it at all. And just when he came out of his daze and followed after her, his phone buzzed inside his pants pocket.
First, he was planning on ignoring the call but the caller id made him do otherwise. ”Hey, buddy! What's up?”
”Dylan, where are you? I thought you'll be here by now,” a pleasantly smooth, soft and euphonious voice of a man could be heard from the other side.
The man who argued with Xiu whose name was Dylan looked around the shop and found Xiu at the cashier counter with another woman. ”I'm on my way.” He replied over the phone while observing the interaction between Xiu and Nora.
Nora was still clad in her hotel uniform with a small scarf wrapped around her neck. Because of her western genes, she gave off a mature vibe even at the age of only twenty-three. Her body was also well-matured and when compared to Xiu, she looked older.
Right now, Nora was paying for everything at the counter while she rubbed Xiu's hair lovingly and spoke tenderly, ”See baby Xiu'er, I paid for everything. I love you so much that I'm willing to buy the world just for you.”
Nora was trying to cheer up Xiu who was looking like a volcano ready to burst and it worked at some level when Xiu gave her a small smile. However, this gesture of their love was perceived in a whole new way by someone whose eyes were about to bulge out.
Nora and Xiu took their shopping bags brimming with snacks while Nora placed her hand around Xiu's small waist and led her out saying, ”I'm gonna cuddle you like a teddy bear tonight.”
Xiu had already expected that because Nora was one of those people who loved cuddling. She had a human sized teddy bear in her room just for cuddling purposes. And after every breakup Xiu would end up in that teddy bear's position.
”Dylan, what the hell are you doing?” The smooth voice with a tinge of impatience came again jolting Dylan awake from his daze.
”Oh, Sh*t! Buddy, that pair of girls look like a couple.” Dylan voiced out softly while his eyes were still stuck on the disappearing figures of Xiu and Nora with a thoughtful look on his face.
There was silence at the other side before Dylan heard a piercing cold voice, ”Then are you waiting for them to invite you for a threesome? Or a night show?”
Hearing such a blunt remark from his best friend's mouth, Dylan choked on air and started coughing profusely. He knew he had a overly whimsical mind but when did his cold hearted but perceptive best friend turned like him?
