Chapter 190 - But... (1/2)

Oftentimes, love is right before our eyes. Right there where we really want it to be. And yet, something ends up going wrong.

It's like telling a tale that went like...

She loved him.

He loved her.

She wanted him.

He wanted her.

They both wanted each other.

But...

Sigh .

It's like telling the tale of two people who were just right for each other and were meant to be. But then what really went wrong? Perhaps, both of them didn't know the answer to that question at all.

When Dylan got in the backseat of his sister's car without asking, he noticed Qiu Meihui looking at him with a raised brow as she asked, ”Aren't you gonna drive your girlfriend home?”

Dylan was about to clear up that Nora wasn't his girlfriend but just to get on a certain person's nerves, he said, ”I really want to. But if I went to drop her off, I wouldn't want to come back. And I can't stay with her since her roommate is a bit cranky.” He definitely didn't forget to drag Xiu in for no reason with his 'cranky' remark.

Qiu Meihui shook her head at her brother's reply and looked at the side of Xin Xiaosi's face. He had been looking constantly outside the window but when his hand lifted up to his face, as an elder sister, she could tell he was crying silently.

”Hey, Ah-Si! Why didn't you tell me that you're coming? I could have come to receive you from the airport.” Since Dylan couldn't possibly stay silent throughout the entire ride, he tried striking a conversation with Xin Xiaosi.

”Didn't think it was important,” replied Xin Xiaosi with a straight face.

Dylan's brows knitted together as he asked, ”Didn't think it was important to let me know or didn't think I was important?” Xin Xiaosi took a pause as if thinking about his options when Dylan added, ”Bro, I'm your cousin. You can't possibly be inclined towards the second option? I'd be offended.”

”Don't forget, we're cousins who don't share blood or family lineage. Besides, I don't think anyone in the family had ever cared about offending you.” Hearing Xin Xiaosi's answer, Dylan's mouth opened wide in surprise.

”Ah-Si, you used to be such a sweet person. What happened to you? And why are you attacking me on a personal level?” Dylan still had no clue what he did to deserve this treatment. His bonding with Xin Xiaosi was as strong as Darren. But now suddenly, he seemed completely a different person. It made Dylan wonder what really happened in these four years.

”You should be glad that I'm only attacking you with words. But if you didn't stop talking, I'll really punch your face without holding back,” replied Xin Xiaosi and shut Dylan up for the rest of the ride.

Dylan pulled out his phone and typed a text to Darren saying, 'Dazi, I'm not having a good feeling. It's like a bad premonition but I think I'm in danger.'

He received a text from Darren after a couple of minutes which read, 'Fighting!'

Dylan was still reeling from the shock of receiving such a text from his best friend when Qiu Meihui parked the car before the house and got out. Xin Xiaosi and Dylan also followed her out but Dylan held Xin Xiaosi back.
