Chapter 83 - Throw You Away (1/2)

”You did what?” Nora shouted in shock as she moved the curtain slightly to see Xiu.

After leaving with Dylan, Xiu had called Nora and both of them met at their usual hangout spot: Spa. Right now, they were having a massage and feeling her tense muscles easing up, Xiu had blurted out all the events of the day.

Xiu turned her face to look at Nora's wide-eyed look and said, ”What? I just did what I had to do. You and I both despise those hypocrite white lotus bia-tches.”

”I'm proud of you, my baby Xiu'er,” said Nora while wiping fake tears of pride. She looked like a mother being proud of her kid. Xiu rolled her eyes at her performance and put her head back down. ”By the way, why didn't you just drive the car for your boss? You mostly have no problem with driving in the day. Night driving and parking lots scare you more.”

Nora's statement was somewhat true. Xiu was like a blind person during the night. And parking lots were her nightmare.

”I'm not his babysitter! Why should I drive?” Xiu replied straightforwardly.

”Touché!” Nora answered before the silence dawned in the room.

Later, Xiu was feeling refreshed and lighthearted after a relaxing massage session. The colors of sadness or hatred or anger all were gone. Her bright and rejuvenated spirit was back. She had let Hu Shishi slip out of her mind way easier than she had thought it'd be.

”The massage was good right?” Xiu casually asked while entering the salon.

”Absolutely delicious,” said Nora with a dreamy look. ”That tingling sensation on my back and those dancing fingers... Sigh. I was too lost.”

Xiu slapped the back of her head and said, ”I was talking about massage, not the masseuse.” Nora scrunched up her face in discontent. ”Also, that was a trainee. A freshman in college. How can you even have schemes about him?”

”A freshman in college. That means he's out of high school. Meaning... I won't have to face a lawsuit for dating a minor.” Nora answered in her usual indifferent manner.

Xiu sighed while shaking her head at Nora. ”Hey, Neil!” Seeing the hairstylist, Xiu waved at him.

”Hey, gals!” Neil gave both of them a hug. ”It seems like I haven't seen you both in years.”

”That's called exaggeration. We were here just last month,” Nora replied lifting her arm and placing it around his shoulder.

Following that, Neil was looking at Xiu's hair with a worried look. ”Bai Xiu, what the hell did you do to your hair?”

”Nora brought some new hair products from New York, I started trying those...” Xiu stated while looking at his weird expressions through the mirror. He looked like a heartbroken beauty. But Xiu could understand his feelings. Hair was for Neil just as a painting for an artist. He took pride in his art.

According to him, the beauty of a woman lied in her hair. He was very serious about that.

”You used those products?” Xiu nodded in response to Nora's question and she added, ”Good to know. I'm definitely not gonna touch those products.”

Xiu picked up a brush and hit her head. ”You used me like a guinea pig!”

Nora hugged her saying, ”Baby Xiu'er, you know I love you.”

Xiu snorted, ”If I were you, I'd also love me.”

Nora was left speechless at her conceited reply. Neil had to part them as he said, ”You both don't have to rub your love in like this. Can't you be considerate of a recently dumped person?”
