Chapter 146 - Tipsy-Turvy Hormones (1/2)

Oftentimes, we overlook the small blessings in life while trying to look for some miracle. For instance, what could be a bigger blessing than the fact that the smile you took to bed last night was still blooming on your face when you woke up.

It was rare for Xiu to wake up in such a good mood on a Sunday morning. But since she had plans with Darren today, she woke up early. Although it was close to 11 in the morning, it was still very early for Sunday. Her facial muscles were definitely not under her control since her lips had lifted up uncontrollably into an arc. Pulling off the duvet, she stepped down from the bed and walked towards the windows to pull the dr.a.p.es.

However, just as she opened the thick dr.a.p.es, her eyes widened and she screamed out, ”AHHH!!!”

Her loud voice startled even Nora who fell down from the bed with a thud. ”What happened? What's going on?” It took her a couple of minutes to completely wake up and as she did, she frantically stood up. With a baseball bat in her hand, Nora ran inside Xiu's room. ”Who is it? Tell me, who should I hit?”

Nora looked around Xiu's room with a frown while Xiu looked at Nora with a strange look as well. ”What's up with the baseball bat?”

”Oh, this is my weapon. I thought there is some burglar or something,” replied Nora while yawning tiredly. ”But now that I think about it, you'd never scream because of a burglar. In fact, you'd make the burglar scream instead.”

”Haha... Very funny,” said Xiu in dry humor.

”Nevermind. Why did you scream?” asked Nora while putting the baseball bat over her shoulder.

”Look,” Xiu pointed outside the window and Nora followed suit.

”What are we looking at?” questioned Nora with a perplexed look.

”Look at how heaven is messing with me,” said Xiu and as she turned her eyes to look outside the eyes, she felt distressed. It was supposed to be a fine sunny day of summer but... The clouds of gloominess were looming around in the sky darkening not only the day but also Xiu's mood. Grey had dominated the sky making the morning appear as night. ”It was supposed to be a good day. I was supposed to spend that good day with my boyfriend.”

Nora fell on Xiu's bed and kept nodding her head absentmindedly while Xiu was still going on with her complaints. Nora had gotten quite used to Xiu's complaints. According to her, before losing her memories, Xiu used to complain about her shortcomings but after she lost all her memories, Nora never heard Xiu complain about her own self. She had become confident in a way that even surprised Nora.

Xiu shook Nora and asked, ”Why are you so sleepy?”

”I couldn't sleep much last night,” said Nora as she sat up on the bed and looked at Xiu standing with her hands wrapped around her stomach.

”Couldn't sleep? Do you know it's a Japanese legend that if you can't sleep at night it means that you're awake in someone's dreams?” Xiu bumped her shoulder with Nora playfully and added, ”I wonder who kept you awake in his dreams.”
