Chapter 228 - Qiu Hedi, Thank You! (1/2)
When Dylan heard her saying that he wasn't her type, he couldn't help sighing in exasperation. ”I know I'm not your type. You don't have to repeat it so often.” He took a pause, seeing her paying no heed to his words and said, ”Jokes apart, why were you staring at me with such an unusual expression?”
The corner of her eyes crinkled slightly as she answered, ”Your mother was nagging at you and you seemed to be enjoying it. I just found it really weird. It seems like you really do love her.”
Dylan chuckled on his own before nodding his head, ”Yes, I do love her. But why I looked so amused wasn't because she was nagging at me. Actually, she was worried about me. She hates it when I skip the lunch and since I always take her simple words nonchalantly, she often uses her motherly nagging to get me back on track. However, let me tell you, my mom is not scary at all even when she'd be trying to act like one.”
”So when you say that nobody loves and blah blah blah, you're just being a dramatic bitch?!”
Dylan's face twitched at her choice of words to describe him but he decided to overlook it for once. ”Hey! I wasn't being dramatic, since the time my sister had a daughter, my value declined. I'm no longer the youngest child and that's why everyone just ignores me.”
Xiu didn't feel any pity even after seeing his sulky face as she said, ”Aiyo! Some people are really thankless in life. Just because everyone doesn't give you the same attention as they used to, doesn't mean your value declined or you're no longer the loved one in the family. That's bullshit. I'd do anything to have a family like yours.”
Dylan's brows raised while she looked heavenward and said, ”Oh, dear God! Why so unfair?! He doesn't even value his family and yet he has one. I, who actually wants one, is left an orphan again! What nonsense is this?!”
Dylan's eyelids drooped for a moment as he was reminded that she had no family. But soon his eyes flashed as he said, ”Are you trying to tell me that you don't consider my best friend as your family?” That was one quick-witted remark.
”Huh?” Xiu glanced at him in surprise.
Dylan clicked his tongue before rummaging out his phone saying, ”I should tell my best friend that the girl he thinks to be his whole world, doesn't even consider him as a family.”
Xiu gaped at him for a moment before rubbed her hands together, ”Why is my hand itching so much?” Her eyes darted around before settling on Dylan dangerously making him take a step back in horror as she continued, ”I feel like punching a douchebag uncle!”
Dylan clenched his fists tightly to hold himself back but couldn't do so as he pointed a trembling finger at her face saying, ”I'm warning you! Enough with that uncle! I'm not that old yet!”
”Oh, right!” Xiu clicked her fingers together in realization as she continued, ”As I said once, you aren't old. You're just ancient like zebras.”
”Zebras? How did they become ancient?” questioned Dylan overlooking the part that she called him ancient yet again. He didn't want to be as childish as she was. It wasn't worth it.
