Chapter 220 - Play Of Destiny (1/2)

Words don't matter when a simple hug is the only cure you needed in life. Oftentimes, that hug is the only thing you really needed to keep going. At the very least, Xiu only needed that hug from him.

”So, you believe me?” she asked hesitantly as she tilted her head up slightly to observe his expressions.

Darren looked uncertain as he nodded reluctantly before shaking his head but ended up sighing in defeat as he said, ”I honestly don't know.”

”Oh...”

Darren kissed the top of her head saying, ”You can't possibly be expecting me to actually believe everything immediately? I mean, it's a lot to take in.” Xiu pursed her lips and thought about his words. She certainly didn't think he'd be able to digest such a weird phenomenon so easily. ”But I do know that my Sweets is not lying. So, give me a little bit of time to wrap my head around this whole thing.”

Xiu nodded her head and snuggled up against him like a kitten as she whispered, ”Take all the time you need. I'm already glad that you're not breaking up with me or sending me to an asylum.”

Darren rolled his eyes at her saying, ”Sweets, what do you cook in this head of yours?” Xiu knitted up her brows as she looked at him in confusion while he continued caressing her hair gently, ”Even if you were lying, I'd still choose to believe in you.”

”Hmm? Really?” Darren nodded in response. ”Why?”

”Why?” Darren repeated her question softly. He shifted his body to make her back touch his chest while he placed his chin on her shoulder and answered, ”Because I love you.”

Xiu leaned against his back with a sheepish smile on her face. Her heart was beating fast while a blush was creeping up her face. ”Whenever you open that mouth of yours, I really want to kiss you.”

”Why don't you then?”

Xiu tilted her head to face him as she said, ”Oh, are we being cheeky now?” Just as Darren opened his mouth to speak, Xiu planted her lips against his taking him by surprise. There was nothing dreamy or giddy about that kiss. Instead, it was filled deeply with emotions. Emotions that screamed how happy Xiu was to have his trust and love. Emotions that showed how deeply Darren had fallen for her.

When they pulled away, Darren tightened his arms around her waist saying, ”Sweets...”

”Hmm...”

”Did you really think I'd break up with you?” questioned Darren and Xiu nodded her head in reply. ”Why would you think like that?”

”Because every word I just said sounded like a lie or craziness. Obviously, anyone wouldn't want to be with a crazy person.”

”You mean, I fell in love with a crazy person? What does that make me?” Xiu glared at him before hitting his arm making him laugh. ”Okay, okay. I'm sorry. But in all honesty, I already knew you're crazy from the moment we met in that 'Men's bathroom'.”

His emphasis on that 'Men's bathroom' made Xiu want to bury herself alive. He did that on purpose and she knew that. ”Also, when you called me the son of a biscuit, you sounded crazy enough.”

”Hey!” Xiu exclaimed with a pouty face. ”That's not fair. Both of the times, it was an accident. I didn't know it was Men's bathroom and I really lost my way to that hot spring.”

Darren rubbed the side of his face with her saying, ”I'm glad that you lost your way to my hot spring. That's like the best thing you ever did in your life.”
