Chapter 150 - Weird People (1/2)

Xiu was dumbstruck for a while. Nora, however, was excitingly jumping around.

”Oh my God! This is huge! I mean, you finally remember. How much do you remember?” When Xiu didn't answer for a long time, Nora shook her a bit. ”Xiu, what's wrong?”

Xiu held her head in her hands and tried to walk through her memory lanes but to her dismay, she couldn't figure out how she knew about that coke incident. It was like a new piece of memory was added in her mind. But that was it, apart from that once particular scene, she couldn't recall anything else.

And she knew that part wasn't from her own memory.

”Sss-” A sharp wave of pain made her hiss in pain instinctively as she fell back on the couch. She was straining her mind to dig up any other clue related to Bai Xiu's life but couldn't do so.

Seeing her condition, Nora panicked a little as she kneeled down before Xiu and said, ”Xiu, it's okay. Don't strain yourself. If you can't remember then it's alright. I must have overreacted.”

When Xiu opened her eyes, she noticed Nora's disappointed look and pursed her lips feeling guilty again. Holding Nora's hands, she said, ”I'm sorry. But I really can't remember.” She didn't know what she was sorry for. Was it because she wasn't Bai Xiu? Or was it because no matter how hard she tried she couldn't become Bai Xiu?

Nora tried to smile at her in response and replied, ”Aiyo, it's alright. Even though you have lost those old memories, we have made so many new ones. It's all worth it. What matters is that you are with me.”

Xiu couldn't even bring herself to smile in reassurance at Nora. The Bai Xiu Nora was looking for wasn't there and only Xiu knew that. Even though the body was there, the spirit was gone along with memories. But for the first time in years, Xiu had a hope that Bai Xiu's memories weren't lost forever. There was still hope.

However, could just a bunch of memories really make any difference? Even if it couldn't she still wanted to find those memories.

”What are you both doing?”

Both Nora and Xiu turned their heads simultaneously to look at Darren and Nora's eyes widened in surprise, ”Darren, why are you coming from inside?” She got up and circled around him with a suspicious look. ”I thought you left but you'd been inside with Xiu. Interesting. Very interesting. And here I thought, you guys were gonna take it slow.”

Darren licked his lips while looking around and said, ”I dozed off for a bit. Don't work up your mind so much.” Taking a pause to avoid Nora's scrutinizing gaze, he added, ”I should leave, Ms. Sherlock.”

”Didn't you plan to spend the whole day with Xiu?” asked Nora in amus.e.m.e.nt. ”Then why are you leaving so soon?” she sniffed around Xiu's body and smiled slyly, ”Why is his cologne all over you? What did you guys do?”

Xiu pushed her away forcefully and said, ”Quit it already.” Then she looked at Darren, ”Don't listen to her, just stay,” said Xiu and as she threw a cushion at Nora, she went on, ”Nora is just teasing you since she has nothing better to do today.”
