Chapter 149 - Memory Is Back? (1/2)

Xiu felt something vibrating under her hand and peeled open her eyes. She was surprised to find herself in Darren's arms. And while her consciousness slowly came back, she remembered how she ended up there. She looked at the digital clock on her side table and realized she had taken a nap for an hour.

Xiu looked at Darren's face leaning against the bedpost and frowned. His posture was really uncomfortable. Half of his body was leaning against the bedpost. The way his fingers were tangled in her hair, showed how he must have dozed off while caressing her hair. The peace on his face made her smile on instinct.

Suddenly, she felt the vibration again and saw Darren stirring slightly. On instinct, she pulled out his phone from his jacket cautiously and looked at the screen. A photo of Dylan glared back at her making her roll her eyes.

As she attended the call, she was expecting to hear Dylan's ingratiating voice. However, she was greeted by a very pleasant voice instead, ”Darren, did you get some sleep? Why did you play video games with Dylan for the whole night?” Xiu looked at Darren's sleeping face and pursed her lips.

'He didn't sleep last night? And he still insisted on taking care of me?' Xiu felt a little guilty.

”Mom, can you stop pulling my ear?” Dylan's loud shriek from the other side of the phone startled her. ”Dazi, ask mom to stop bullying me. It's not like I forced you.”

”You're still making excuses?” Xiu heard the woman's voice again which she was certain belonged to Dylan's mother. ”Err... Darren? Why aren't you saying anything?”

Xiu cleared her throat and said, ”He... is sleeping.”

Xiu heard something crashing before she heard Dylan's voice, ”Woah, mom! Why did you push me?”

”If I'm not mistaken, you're my Darren's girlfriend, right?” Xiu didn't expect to hear the sudden change in the way she spoke.

”Umm... Yes, that's me.” Xiu tried to sound pleasant but she sounded creepy even to herself.

”Aiyo, your voice is pretty. Now, I'm more curious to find out what you look like,” replied Zhao Wei.

Dylan snorted by her side and said, ”Don't get your hopes up, mom. She's a witch. You'll be scared. Ow!” Of course, he received a slap from his mother for talking nonsense.

”Child, don't listen to my son's ridiculous comments. He fell over his head when he was young and most probably lost a couple of screws back then as well.” Xiu wanted to laugh out at the way a mother was talking about her own son. ”But don't worry at all, our Darren is nothing like Dylan. He seems aloof but actually, he is a very caring person. He doesn't get attached to people very often but when he does, he gives it his all.”
