Chapter 161 - Destiny Novell (1/2)
While Darren was leaving the hospital with Dylan, the latter's curiosity got the best of him as he asked, ”Dazi, are you really worried about this girl? I have never seen you get this concerned about some random girl. Are you really attracted to her?”
”What if I am? What's wrong with that?” asked Darren raising his brows in question. ”It's in human nature to get attracted to things that shine peculiarly and beautifully.”
”Nothing is wrong as such. It's just... she seems like a troubled person,” replied Dylan nonchalantly. ”Also, you heard what Uncle said about her. She's in severe need of medical attention.”
”Or she just needs attention,” said Darren knowingly.
”Whatever it is. She's not suited for you...” was Dylan's weak remark.
Darren stayed quiet for a moment before saying, ”What if I'm interested in your Goddess Xiu? Is she suited for me?”
Dylan almost tripped over when he heard Darren's words. ”You're kidding, right?” He laughed awkwardly but seeing how Darren's expression didn't change, he cursed under his breath, ”Shikes!” before saying, ”Bro, I love you but you can't. Not her. My Goddess Xiu is off-limits.”
”Why?” questioned Darren seeing Dylan's defensive stance.
”The question is not that she's suited for you or not, the question is whether you're suited for her or not? And the answer is... N.O. NO!” Dylan almost screamed at his face and turned his face away with a hmph!
”Again, why not?” was Darren's question. He seemed too calm compared to his aggressive best friend. Dylan wasn't in the mood to stay calm. He just couldn't do so!
”Daz, your dating history isn't something to be proud of. No matter how much I love you, I don't want my Goddess Xiu to end up as just one of your girlfriends.” Dylan was adamant about his decision. He had too much respect and admiration in his heart for Xiu. Poor guy wasn't even told till the end that the girl he just called 'troubled' was, in fact, his Goddess Xiu herself.
If only he knew that he was meant to be a mortal enemy for his Goddess Xiu for the rest of his life. Because even in the future, seeing Xiu and Dylan together would be a recipe for disaster and nothing else.
Darren observed Dylan's expressions for a long moment before saying, ”Didi, why can't you be positive? Perhaps, she won't be one of my girlfriends. Instead, she could be THE ONE.”
Dylan narrowed his eyes at his best friend with suspicion dripping from his eyes. After a long battle of stares when Darren didn't back out, Dylan sighed in defeat and said, ”Fine. But you have to promise me that you won't hurt her.”
