Chapter 248 - Height Of Folly! (1/2)

Sitting in the same cell, Xiu and Dylan were lost in their own thoughts.

”You can call someone to come for your bail,” came an officer's voice.

Both Xiu and Dylan looked at each other. ”Who should we call?” asked Xiu.

”I really want to call Dazi but somehow, I feel safer inside this jail,” replied Dylan while a shiver ran through his spine at the thought of Darren's reaction. He still remembered how angry Darren was when he and Xiu were in jail for the first time. This time... Sigh! GOD might have to come down to save him from the wrath of his best friend.

”Oddly, I share the very same idea,” added Xiu as well. She wasn't scared of Darren for the same reason. In fact, she was more worried that he'd be disappointed in her. Not only for being in jail but also for drinking so much. She ruffled her own hair as she cursed herself for drinking without thinking. The original plan was to take a drink to two, just enough to make herself talk to Dylan about Chen Xiu.

Who knew, she wouldn't be able to stop after those first two drinks?

Officer looked at their reaction and said, ”Suit yourself. Let me know when you decide to call someone.”

As the lady officer was about to turn, Xiu stopped her from behind saying, ”Officer...” She read her name tag and went on, ”Officer Gu, how about you let us leave? I'll make you laugh and in exchange you let us go, okay?” The lady officer narrowed her eyes at Xiu while Xiu went on, ”Do you know what's the height of folly?” The lady officer shook her head, Xiu turned to Dylan and asked, ”Didi, what's your height?”

Dylan stood up as he glared at her, ”Did you just call me foolish?”

Xiu shook her head saying, ”Nope, I called you the epitome of foolishness!”

Dylan was about to scream at her when they heard the lady officer laughing at both of them. Xiu smiled seeing that and said, ”See, I made you laugh. Can we leave now?”

”I never agreed for that,” replied the lady officer before walking away.

”How mean!” said Xiu behind her and sat back in silence. ”I can call Nora but she's gonna create a huge issue. Gosh! I have no one else to call. No wonder Nora asks me to make some friends.”

”How do you know so much about Chen Xiu?” asked Dylan, not even caring where they were. He would go crazy if she didn't answer. He didn't know what answer he was expecting but he needed one for sure.

Xiu tilted her head, stared at his pale and anxious face as she answered, ”If I said, I know all this because I am Chen Xiu, would you be able to believe me?”

Dylan was stunned for a moment. Will he be able to believe her? He didn't know but if she did say, she's Chen Xiu, a lot of things would make sense. Especially, the secrets that Xiu earlier talked about. But if everything made sense then why was he hesitating in believing her. Was it really hesitation? Or was he so fascinated by the idea that he thought he'd stop breathing any minute?

When Dylan became silent, she mumbled, ”Darren said you'd believe me.”
