Chapter 152 - Be My Lover? (1/2)

Xiu didn't know whether to be sad or happy about the fact that she spoke the biggest truth of her life and yet, people took it as a joke since Nora ended up slapping her head and saying, ”Xiu, you're supposed to tell us a secret, not a fantasy story.”

”It's not a fantasy story. I'm serious,” insisted Xiu with a straight face. ”I really am a different soul in a different body.”

”Let's assume what you said is indeed true,” said Nora and added, ”But that means you want us to believe in reincarnation or transmigration. And that's not possible.”

”Why not?” asked Xiu. ”If I say I'm a time traveler, would you be more inclined to believe that?”

”Yes,” answered Dylan as he went on, ”Time traveling is scientifically proven in physics. Reincarnation is based on supernatural myths which are not very believable.” He took a pause before cautiously adding, ”To be honest, you sound crazy right now. Oh, wait for a second, you're already crazy.”

Nora jutted in, ”Even those myths are only believed by kids now.”

Xiu smiled bitterly as she mumbled, ”I wish we stayed as kids, at least, magic was believable. Now, even reality seems like a lie to everyone.” She shook her head before saying, ”Fine. Let's get serious. My other secret is that I have a very cute superpower where I shut myself up and hate everyone. Including myself.”

”Silly,” Nora pushed Xiu's head with her finger while Xiu laughed it off.

Xiu looked at everyone and smiled to herself as she thought, 'Well, I said it. It's your loss that you didn't believe me at all. It was my responsibility to say it once. At least, I can get some guilt off of my heart now.'

What Xiu failed to notice between Nora and Dylan's antics was Darren's reaction. For a split second, his heart was jolted and if she had said she was Chen Xiu, he really wouldn't have hesitated in believing in her. He couldn't even remember how many times he wished to see a miracle. After all, Xiu had already reminded him of Chen Xiu on several occasions. So much so that even he was getting confused in his mind.

However, all of that was just his own wishful thinking. At least that's how he had to convince himself.

In the next round, Xiu lost and her question was, ”Ask another player a question,” Xiu rubbed her chin thoughtfully as she glanced at the other three. Apparently, her luck had been quite good in this game.

”Don't look at me. I've already lost too many times,” Nora made a cross sign while cowering back.

Then Xiu's eyes lingered on Dylan who said, ”You already hate me enough. I'm sure you won't like to add more reasons to your hate list.”

Xiu rolled her eyes at him before shifting her gaze toward Darren. ”Hi, boyfriend!”

Darren rubbed the tip of his nose as he said, ”Hello to you too, girlfriend!”

”What's the craziest pick-up line someone has ever used on you?”
