Chapter 156 - Daring Xiu (1/2)

”And if we are really being posh with words, then what will the weekdays become?” asked Xiao Bai in curiosity.

”Oh, then it'll be Margarita Monday and Tequilla Tuesday,” replied Xiu without even thinking.

”What about Thursday?”

”Thursday is Thirsty. It had always been thirsty,” said Xiu and went on, ”Friday is Fearless and Sloshed is Saturday. And that's how we survive the week.”

Xiao Bai pressed her lips together before saying, ”You left Sunday out.”

”Hun, you need to look up the definition of sloshed. If you're sloshed on Saturday, there is no way you'll wake up on Sunday. So, Sunday is called Sleepy but it can be slurring Sunday if anyone really managed to wake up.”

Xiao Bai laughed again at her and said, ”Older Sister, you're really funny.”

Xiu knocked her head against the table and said, ”Funny? I should be called reckless and an idiot. How can I even say all this to a teenager? I'm really a bad influence.” She tried to look at Xiao Bai through her blurry vision and went on, ”Xiao Bai, be good and don't pay attention to this Unnie[1].”

Before Xiao Bai could say anything, her cellphone's ringtone made her swallow her words. She looked at the caller id and excused herself. ”Hello!” she answered the call in a soft voice.

”Baby Xiu, where did you run off to? When we got home, you weren't here. It's 3 in the morning and mom and dad are worried about you,” Nora's concerned voice didn't give Xiao Bai a.k.a Bai Xiu any chance to speak.

And when she finally found a chance, she answered with, ”Relax, Nora darling. You can tell my uncle and aunt that I'll stay at the school dorms tonight. Besides, I'm not a child who will get lost.”

”I'm not worried that you'll get lost. I'm worried because of your changing behavior. Since the time your mother died, you've been changing into a person I can hardly recognize,” said Nora.

”Don't worry. I won't get into any trouble. I promise. Now, I gotta go. Bye!” Saying that Bai Xiu hung up the call and walked back to their table.

However, while she was passing behind Chen Xiu, her eyes caught sight of an incoming call on Chen Xiu's phone. She wouldn't have taken interest but the picture flashing on the screen was very familiar to her. 'Han Bohai? Sister Xiu's assistant?' Her brows raised up instinctively.

”Older sister, you seem a little bit reckless but I don't think you're moxie.” Xiao Bai said in all honesty as she settled in her chair to finish her meal and sipped on her smoothie.
