Chapter 247 - Lost The Thrill (1/2)
A single moment of distraction can bring a disaster upon you. One tiny mistake and everything can end right before your eyes. It was exactly that kind of moment for Dylan as well.
When he looked at the front, a car was passing from the front and on instinct, Dylan swerved the steering wheel to the right and the car hit the pole. But because of the slow speed, the hit didn't do any damage to both Dylan and Xiu. The same couldn't be said about the car though.
Technically, earlier he was supposed to stop at the red light but since the road they were on had very few cars, he really didn't realize it until he had broken the signal and had almost hit the car coming from the other side. If it wasn't for Xiu, they'd have been in a bigger problem.
The other car didn't stop to ask and left. As for Xiu and Dylan, they both got out of the car to see the damage. ”This is all your fault,” said Dylan as he put all the blame on Xiu's shoulder.
”How is it my fault? You're the one driving!” replied Xiu in defiance.
”If you hadn't said that about Chen Xiu, I wouldn't be so mad,” said Dylan in anger.
”Oh, come on! Did I say anything wrong?”
”That is why I don't like you no matter how much I try to. You always find a way to insult my Goddess Xiu and I don't like that.” He took a pause before saying, ”You know what, sometimes I think you're also a fan of my Goddess Xiu.”
”Me?” Xiu pointed at herself with a weird look on her face. ”Where did that come from?”
”Yes, you...” nodded Dylan and went on, ”You're a fan in denial. You know so much about my Goddess Xiu that only her true fans would know. That's why I'm saying, you're also a fan of hers. Just a bit jealous one.”
Xiu looked at his face with a blank look before she burst out in laughter. Clutching her stomach with her hand, she said, ”Oh my GOD! I can't believe it. I haven't heard a funnier joke in my life before.” Dylan didn't know why she was being hysterical about it but he was left dumbfounded when her face went back to a poker-faced look and she continued, ”The person I hate the most in my life is named Chen Xiu. I hate her with all that I have and all that I am. She really didn't have anything to be envious of. If anything she was pitiful. Ask your heart as well, at one point in your life, you also pitied her, sympathized with her.”
She was poking Dylan's chest forcing him to remember that pity he had felt for Chen Xiu. Because in truth, he did feel pity for Chen Xiu. Even if it was for just a moment. He couldn't deny it.
”If I was envious of that life, I wouldn't have chosen death. Do you think I chose death as a joke? Just for fun? Or maybe to make people feel guilty for what they did to me? No! I did not! I never wanted anyone to clear my name of all those scandals. Why would I want to? Scandals were an everyday thing for Chen Xiu, then how could a mere scandal push her to death? Being the other woman in a married couple's life, was it the first time she was accused of that? No, she had been through it plenty of times.”
Xiu was panting at the end of her pent up frustration and ranting that she never got to let out. At this point, she couldn't tell what she was spouting. As for Dylan, he was in shock at how much she knew but mostly because she talked like she was talking about herself. As if she had lived through all that.
