Chapter 227 - Cringy Punchlines (2/2)
Xiu flipped her hair and smiled at him conceitedly saying, ”Bro, I never had to go on dating sites. I'm not that desperate in life.” She took a pause before adding, ”But you're right, it sounded like a pretty good description for dating sites. What would you choose if you ever made an account? Or you have an account already...”
Her suggestive tone made Dylan roll his eyes at her saying, ”Sis, you really need to stop undermining me like that.” When Xiu didn't show any interest in changing, he went on with a sigh, ”But I do have a witty punchline I read somewhere.”
”Oh, what is it?”
”I'm like Oxygen, you can be my Potassium and everything will be OK.” Dylan laughed at his own joke but Xiu's lips only twitched in annoyance. He shook his head saying, ”How dumb are you? Can't you get it? Oxygen's 'O' and Potassium's 'K', wouldn't it be 'OK'?”
”I think you're the dumb one here, I understand the chemistry. You don't have to remind me of the damn periodic table all over again. I just didn't find it funny at all.” Dylan clicked his tongue at her for being boring while she added, ”I have a better one. Oxygen can go on a date with Magnesium, it'd make people go OMg!”
Dylan closed his eyes before chuckling at her saying, ”Okay, let's face it, we both have the cringy-iest punchlines.”
”I agree!” They did a handshake for agreeing with each other in silence.
As they were about to leave the bakery, Dylan's cellphone rang and with a beautiful smile on his face, he picked up the call. ”Hello, my dearest Weiwei! What's up?”
”I'd say my blood pressure is up because of you but you don't certainly care,” came the reply making Dylan shake his head.
”Ma, what did I do now?” said Dylan and that's when Xiu understood that the call was from his mother. But the way he talked really surprised her. His eyes were shining brightly with love even when she could hear that the other person was certainly nagging him for something. After a moment of silence, she heard him saying, ”Ma, I have eaten. I promise I'm not lying. Your favorite son's girlfriend dragged me to the bakery today. I ate too many sweets. So, can you cook me something spicy for dinner?”
”Are you with Regan's girlfriend?” Dylan laughed at how his mother's whole attitude changed instantly. As he hummed in reply, Zhao Wei said, ”Take care of her since Darren's not there. Be nice to her. Mom will cook whatever you want.”
”You care about everyone except for me,” said Dylan sulking in his sadness.
”Stop being dramatic, it's not cute anymore,” came his mother's reply before she hung up the call.
Dylan laughed as she hung up and noticed the way Xiu had been looking at him. ”Don't stare like that, you might fall in love with me.”
”Khhh!” A weird sound came from Xiu's throat and she said, ”Don't be delusional. I said it already, you're not my type. Not even close to it.”
