Chapter 228 - Qiu Hedi, Thank You! (2/2)
”Zebras are black and white, doesn't that mean that they are ancient?” retorted Xiu feeling proud of her comeback but her answer left Dylan speechless.
He rubbed his forehead in worry, ”I don't know why Dazi think that you're all about sugar and spice along with everything nice. When I can bet that you're all about sarcasm, wine and brainless remarks!”
”But everything about me is still fine,” added Xiu with a wave of her hand.
”Fine? How so?” Dylan crossed his arms before his chest.
”As you said, I'm made of wine and everything about wine is just fine...” smiled Xiu making Dylan roll his eyes.
Dylan flicked her arm saying, ”Sis, that's your obsession for wine talking.” Xiu stuck her tongue at him in response showing how childish she could get.
Both of them entered the company keeping a reasonable distance which was a striking contrast to the way they left the company. However, the pair of eyes around them didn't stop staring at them. Since the lunch break wasn't over yet, their floor was still empty.
Just as Dylan was about to enter his office, Xiu held his wrist again making him turn to look at her inquisitively. ”You can stop running from yourself.” Dylan's brows furrowed together as she went on, ”Trust me, you won't end up anywhere. Because the people who run from themselves, don't really have a place to go to. I have tried it and it didn't work. So, stop questioning your pain or feelings. Just go with life.”
He tilted his head to a side, glancing at her with an odd look in his eyes. ”Remember, the Universe is magnetic, it'll eventually lead good things to you but it depends on you whether you're ready to accept those good things or you're still stuck on the bad ones of the past.”
”What happened to you? You really give me chills when you're being nice to me. I really am not used to it,” said Dylan trying to alter the course of tension and seriousness in the air. He certainly was the kind of person who felt suffocated if the tension in the air could be thick enough to feel like you could cut it with a knife. He was a lighthearted and jolly person, who believed in getting over things after a drink or two.
Perhaps, that's why he didn't want to be this serious with her. Especially because he had never seen her being this sincere with him before. Obviously, he'd feel uncomfortable with this sudden change. He probably was still skeptical about her intentions but he didn't voice it.
Meanwhile, Xiu didn't mind his words or the suspicion in his eyes. She simply smiled at him and her hand slid down from his wrist to his hand as she took it in her own and looked straight into his eyes. ”Qiu Hedi, thank you!”
”For what?”
'For loving me when no one else did it. For believing in me when even I didn't believe in myself.' Xiu didn't voice out her thoughts. Just shook her head, shrugged her shoulders and said, ”Just because...”
