Chapter 113 - Remedy Of Love (1/2)

We all meet a person in life whose voice sounds so appealing that we can't explain it in words. It's like there is no possible word to describe it. But somehow that voice still holds that supernatural power to do things to you that are even harder to put in words.

In Xiu's life, she also heard that kind of voice that sounded so pleasing that she could spend hours listening to him. That voice was like a spellbound. She'd always forget about everything whenever she heard his voice.

”I'm telling you, this love is so not easy. I'm so tired of it now. Can't I just stop now?” She was mithering with her face buried in the duvet.

Her petulant complaining earned her a sigh before she heard that smooth and pleasant sounding voice, ”If you're tired of loving then stop doing it already. Who's forcing you to keep loving?”

Xiu sat up in her bed and said, ”Haven't you heard, there is no remedy for love?” Taking a brief pause to take her phone to the balcony, she went on, ”Besides, everyone around me is asking me to stop loving him. Every single person wants me to just give up. But why does nobody understand that more they ask me to give up, the more I don't want to give up.”

”Are you certain that's called love?” She frowned as she heard his question. ”It seems to me that he has become your stubbornness now. That's why you don't want to give up anymore.”

”So what? Don't you know Mr. Sportsman that there is no love without stubbornness?” Xiu said exasperatedly.

”Ms. Superstar, you can either be stubborn or you can be in love. If you want to keep both then you might end up losing out.” His words made her brows to knit up.

”Mr. S, I don't want to be that pathetic one who gives up without giving something a shot. Whether I'm a winner or a loser is still undecided. But if I just give up because people are forcing me to do so then I'm gonna regret this for the rest of my life.” Xiu's persistent voice earned her silence from the other side of the phone. After waiting for a long while, when she didn't hear any reply, she asked, ”Why aren't you saying anything?”

”Ms. C, I wish you don't regret being stubbornly in love,” was his answer in a voice that sounded really sincere and heartbroken at the same time. ”Anyways, congratulations on successfully becoming the top most influential person from your industry.”

”Hey, that's very boring. Where is my reward? Didn't you always criticize me for my work? Now, that you do believe in my potential, I need a reward.”

She heard him chuckle that sounded like a magnetic pull making her heart feel complicated. ”I still don't like any of your work.”

”You're a bloody jerk! No one has ever criticized me as much as you do. What's so cool about being a sportsman?” Xiu was irked by his remarks.

”Ms. C, don't forget that you only take those movies or shows that your company or manager chooses for you. If you had ever chosen a role for yourself, I'm sure you'd have done better than ever.” Xiu had no response to that since his words had hit the mark. Indeed, she had never been the one who chose any of her jobs.

”You really know how to ruin my good times,” she sighed heavily and went on, ”Nevermind. Tell me about your new girl. How is it going with her?”
