Chapter 11 - Attack Of The Heartless Witch (1/2)

-The next morning-

”What's for breakfast?” Nora came out of her room still in her tweety print pajamas.

”Bread and milk,” Xiu answered calmly while she held the butter knife and ignored Nora's unkempt appearance. Because let's face it, Nora could look gorgeous even with her bed head. Xiu, however, thought she looked like a zoo animal with her bird's nest every morning.

”Ai! Don't we have any other option?” She asked and took a seat beside Xiu. Nora wasn't very fond of bread for some reason.

”There is one lazy bum in our house who forgot about groceries-”

”Oh my! Yummy! I love bread and milk. It's the healthiest breakfast ever.” Seeing how Xiu was going to strike again with her foul-mouth, Nora cut in. It was better to shut her mouth and eat what was offered. Rather than filling her stomach with Xiu's sharp words early in the morning.

Xiu was pleased to see her expression while she munched on her bread and took a sip of milk. All of sudden, for some reason that stupid scion from last night came to her mind and she said, ”Nora, can you help me sign up for a membership in your gym?”

With bread in her mouth, Nora froze and her eyes bulge out as she stared at Xiu trying to see whether the latter was serious or not.

”Are you serious?” Nora asked and saw Xiu nodding. ”You hate gyms. What changed?”

Xiu made a sour face and explained, ”I met a stupid jerk last night and he called me a kid! Can you believe it, a KID!”

Nora tried to cover her laughter with a cough. ”He wasn't lying.” Even though Nora said it under her breath, Xiu heard it clearly.

”What did you say?” Xiu's body emanated a cold chill.

”Hehe...” Nora gave an awkward laugh saying, ”Don't get me wrong. But baby Xiu'er, even though you have a very good height, your body isn't fit. Isn't that why you always wear those fake glasses? To make yourself look a bit mature and older?”

Xiu wanted to argue but found nothing to argue with. Indeed, Nora was right. Her body was more on the scrawny side than the plump one.

”You just sign me up for the membership. Stop making stupid remarks.” Xiu shot up from her seat and picked up her purse. ”Wash the dishes before leaving.” Saying that Xiu left out the door.

”Good morning, Ms. Bai,” the elevator attendant greeted her politely with a smile.

”Good morning, Loulou,” Xiu also greeted her and got in the elevator. Xiu changed a lot in five years but she was still polite to those who were polite to her.
