Chapter 167 - Im In Love With...? (2/2)
”Yes, it is very simple,” said Dylan with a solemn expression which really felt weird to Xiu.
She jokingly said, ”Now don't say it's as simple as jumping off a cliff. You just close your eyes and take that step.”
Dylan gave a sad smile before his eyes at her and saying, ”Nah. In my opinion, love is when you have a million words to say and yet that one person's eyes make you speechless because you see the rest of your life lying inside those eyes.”
As much as Xiu wanted to agree with him, she still had to retort, ”If it's love, it gets complicated. Eventually, it does. There is no denying. I'm a person who believes in living a simple life. But I want to love extravagantly. It's not every day we fall in love.” She took a pause to breathe before continuing, ”I have feelings for Regan. Feelings that I can't describe in words. And they say, often the unexplainable feelings are named love. If that is true then yes. I am in love with Regan.”
”I never thought I'd hear such words from you,” said Dylan in surprise. ”You really are a different person in my impression.”
”The version of me you created in your head is definitely not my bloody responsibility!” was Xiu's reply. ”Anyway, now that we have come to the conclusion that I'm not going anywhere from your best friend's life, let's have a compromise-treaty.”
”Compromise-treaty? Do you mean a peace treaty?”
Xiu shook her finger before his eyes saying, ”No, no, not at all! Let's face it, you and I are like fire and water, there is no peace between us.”
”True,” he couldn't help agreeing.
”That's why my proposal is compromise-treaty. You're not going anywhere neither am I. So, why not find a happy medium for Regan's sake. I don't want him to stress over the arguments we have. Also, you can't always jump in whenever he's with me,” Xiu stated her other terms and stressed on her last line saying, ”And don't. I repeat, don't you dare try to snatch my boyfriend from me. When it's my time, it's my time. You can't possibly be there.”
Dylan thought about it for a while before saying, ”Okay. We can find a middle ground if it's for Dazi's sake. Besides, I don't want his first serious relationship to end in shambles just because I don't like you.”
”So, do we have a deal?” Xiu extended her hand towards him and while Dylan eyed her hand suspiciously, she rolled her eyes at him and said, ”Scaredy Cat, there is nothing in my hand. I can't believe you have such little faith in me.” She even showed him her hand as proof and finally, Dylan let his guard down and shook her hand.
”I can't help the suspicion. You aren't a very nice person and besides, your track record doesn't help much,” said Dylan while Xiu shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly.
