Chapter 275 - Courting Death! (1/2)

Dylan wasn't the least bit surprised to hear Darren's words. In fact, those were the words he wanted to hear from his best friend. He knew his best friend's temperament better than anyone. How could he not know what was going through Darren's mind?

Seeing an arc spreading on Dylan's face, Darren's brows creased up as he came to a conclusion, ”You already believed her words. Didn't you?”

Dylan shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly in reply as he affirmed, ”I couldn't bring myself to not believe it. No matter how unreasonable and bizarre it sounded, my heart didn't allow me to deny it.” He took a pause as his lopsided grin grew, ”And even if I had the slightest doubt, it's no more.”

Darren stared at his best friend carefully before shaking his head. ”If you already believed her words, then your earlier gloominess can't possibly be because of that.”

Dylan's smile froze as his eyes went wide. He looked horrified and troubled. Seeing him sighing so loudly, Darren inquired, ”What's bothering you know? Struggling with this revelation?”

Dylan shook his head and went to Darren's side as he wailed, ”The struggle is not with this truth. The struggle is how am I gonna face her now? Overnight, she turned from my despicable assistant to my...” Dylan couldn't even bring himself to continue as he was crying without any tears.

”But now she's your Goddess Xiu,” Darren completed Dylan's sentence for him. It was not an act of goodwill, instead, it could be said that Darren was enjoying Dylan's struggle with his emotions. What Chen Xiu meant to Dylan, only he knew. That status of 'Goddess' was very real for Dylan since he worshipped her like a real goddess.

That esteemed goddess in his mind and he had been bullying her all this time?! Tsk. Tsk. Darren could only imagine his state of mind.

Dylan picked the flower vase and hit his head with it. But not with enough force to break it as he admitted, ”Yes. If she's really my Goddess Xiu than I have committed a huge sin. How can I be arrogant and rude to her? I think my brain is damaged, otherwise, why would I act so willful before her?”

”Tsk. Tsk. You're really in a predicament my friend,” Darren pursed his lips to hold back his laughter at Dylan's antics but he really didn't have any plan on stopping his best friend. Why would he? He was having a good time!

As if recalling something, Dylan's face paled as he stared at Darren looking horrified and noted, ”I bickered with her. I even called her kiddo! I even pulled her hair!” A gasp escaped his mouth as he added, ”I even took her to jail with me. And not just once. But twice!”

Seeing that a red patch had formed at his forehead because of him using that vase as an assault weapon, Darren directly took the vase from his hand and placed it aside. Darren didn't think Dylan would really keep on digging his own gave of guilt but the latter surprised him a lot.

Dylan directly fell on his knees in a listless state and whispered, ”I deserve to burn on the eighteenth floor of hell! What sin have I committed?!”

Darren rolled his eyes at Dylan's drama and tried to placate this little kid. ”Didi, why are you taking this so seriously?”

Dylan held Darren's leg and shook him making Darren almost lose his momentum. ”Why don't you understand, Dazi?! I always wanted my Goddess to know me but like this... I never wanted her to see me as such an insolent one. I made her despise me.”
