Chapter 109 - Mine! No, Mine! (1/2)

With his hands behind his head and legs propped over the desk, Dylan was languidly seated in the police station. Xiu, however, was dozing off.

”Hey, Officer Cheng, can I get a soft drink? With lots of ice. I'm really thirsty.” Dylan asked the officer who had been questioning them earlier.

”I say, get this big baby a big bed and a lavish feast as well, his delicate self must be really tired,” Xiu taunted from her seat which was in another corner of the room.

Dylan gritted his teeth and said, ”Don't listen to troublemakers. She just knows how to break things.”

”And you only know how to be petty all the time,” Xiu replied back.

Dylan shot up from the chair and shouted, ”Yah! If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be stuck here right now!”

Xiu also stood up to face him and snapped at him, ”Huh! Some people really love playing the blame game. Mr. Qiu, let me remind you that it was your bloody comment that brought us here.”

Officer Cheng tried to hold Dylan back as he was about to charge towards Xiu. On the other hand, Xiu wasn't a pushover, to begin with, she also rolled up her sleeves to beat the hell out of him. A female officer had to hold her back as well for Dylan's safety. But the officers could only hold them physically, both Xiu and Dylan were still shouting curses at each other.

”It was just a comment, did you have to go as far as murdering someone?” Dylan's accusation irked Xiu even more.

”Oi! Who did I murder? Don't lie!”

”You murdered my baby... My newly bought car,” Dylan cried back.

Xiu snorted at him, ”A human's feelings got hurt because of you but you still care about a machine? Do you have any sense?”

Dylan rolled his eyes at her and snickered, ”Ms. Bai, let's be honest here. Humans have long lost feelings since they love breaking their promises. But the machines are different.”

”Guess you didn't learn the basics of life yet. It's not hard to have feelings in this age, it's difficult being human now!” Xiu retorted without holding back stunning Dylan to silence for a moment. ”All you want in life is 'ATTENTION' but do you even realize what you give others?” Dylan's brows creased up a bit and she continued with a smirk, ”You give people, 'A TENSION'!”

”Pfft!”

The female officer beside Xiu couldn't hold back her laughter but the others were sensible enough to stifle theirs. Because Dylan's face had turned red from anger. Oddly, Xiu realized that he was so naturally fair that tinges of red would become extremely vivid on his face.

With his clenched fists beside him, Dylan was seething in the fire. He pointed at Xiu and said, ”I used to think that you're a mess. Hot but still a mess. I guess I'm not wrong about that.”

Xiu flipped her ruffled, tangled hair dramatically and said, ”Don't get the wrong idea, Sir. I'm not a hot mess. I love being a spicy disaster!”

Dylan: ”...”

While Dylan was standing speechless, the glass door of the princist was pulled open from the outside and in walked a tall figure in his black jeans and a white t-shirt with a coat jacket over it. Both Xiu and Dylan turned their heads and instantly their eyes lit up.

Almost at once, both of them ran up to the newcomer's side and held his hand. Darren looked at Dylan holding his right hand and then looked at Xiu holding his left hand. Only he knew what turmoil he was going through right now.

”I knew you'd come,” both Xiu and Dylan spoke simultaneously as they gazed at Darren with the same look of dependence. But as soon as they saw each other holding Darren's hand, their brows snapped together.
