Chapter 250 - Meow! (1/2)
Have you ever met anyone so cute that you couldn't even get angry at them? Well, Dylan had met one and she was standing right before him flashing her toothy grin while rubbing her tummy like an idiot.
Realizing that three pairs of eyes were on her, she looked a bit despondent as she said, ”Did Xiu do something wrong?” She tugged at Xin Xiaoli's sleeve saying, ”Don't be upset with Xiu, okay? Xiu only wanted to drink a little but Xiu's inner drunk addict woke up and Xiu couldn't do anything.”
Dylan, Xin Xiaoli and even Ah-Si couldn't help but shake their heads at her. Xin Xiaoli bent a little to come at her height as he looked at her face and said, ”No one is upset here. Not with Xiu for sure. So, stop pouting so adorably.”
Xiu gave him a nod before smiling radiantly. ”If Li bro is not angry, can you bring me to eat something?” She had a sullen look on her face as she added, ”Xiu is famished.” Her mood swings were really something on a whole new level.
”What do you want to eat?” asked Xiaoli as he guided Xiu out of the police station.
”I want ice cream,” answered Xiu without even thinking.
Xiaoli stopped in his track before questioning, ”Ice cream? That's it?”
Xiu bobbed her head up and down. ”Yup! That's all Xiu wants. Just...” she was struggling to count her fingers before she held up two fingers and said, ”I just want three scoops of chocolate ice cream.”
Xiaoli looked at her fingers, ”That's three?”
Xiu raised her brows before touched her fingers with her other hand and held up another finger with an awkward laugh, ”Now, it's three.”
Meanwhile, Xiu was happily oblivious to the fact that Dylan was in trouble because of her... AGAIN! Because right when Xiu had left with Xiaoli, Ah-Si asked Dylan, ”What did she drink?”
Dylan cowered back a little as he replied in a small voice, ”I think it was... Rum.”
Ah-Si lifted his brow at Dylan, ”Rum and coke?”
Dylan laughed awkwardly as he replied, ”Nope. I think it was just rum.”
”What?” yelled Ah-Si at Dylan. ”Have you lost your mind? How can you let her drink that? Forget it, you shouldn't have let her drink at all.”
Dylan looked woeful, ”How is it my fault? She is the one who dragged me to the bar. And I only ordered a c.o.c.ktail for her. I don't know how or when she got that bottle of rum from somewhere and wasn't letting it go. I tried but trust me, she's a devil. I can't deal with her.”
Ah-Si punched Dylan in the stomach as he said, ”She is such a cute girl. Don't call her a devil. If there is any monster here that's you for getting her drunk.”
Dylan was gaping in disbelief. How come no one ever believed him when he said that Xiu is a devil? He thought he was the best actor around here but she was really out of his league. Her level of acting was mindblowing. Just like my Goddess... Dylan's eyes widened as the thought struck him all of a sudden. The realization that he heard Xiu calling herself as Chen Xiu hit him just now. Was that real? Or was he dreaming? Whichever it was, the possibility of both situations didn't sit well with him.
”What are doing? Let's go now,” came Ah-Si's voice but when he didn't see Dylan moving, he had to drag Dylan with him.
When all of them were in the car and Xiaoli started the engine, Ah-Si asked, ”Ge, where are we going?”
Xiaoli glanced at the little excited kid jumping around in the passenger seat and replied, ”My little sister asked for ice cream. We are getting ice cream for her.”
”What the hell!” said Dylan as those words registered in his mind. ”Aren't you tired? I'm already exhausted after this much.” The question was directed at Xiu.
