297 Loving Blindly (1/2)

Some people really don't know what's good for them. If life is treating you well, live well. Why do you have to go and look for death? That's exactly what that spoiled brat did earlier. She really seeks her own untimely death.

”Get it done as soon as possible.”

Xiu was looking at Dylan's back with a complicated look. It was really rare for her to see Dylan in such a bad mood. She didn't pay attention to what instruction he had been giving on the phone since the time he left the event.

They had not left the hotel yet, they were still in the lobby when he was only focused on the phone and didn't pay attention to even her. Being ignored like this really didn't feel good but having someone stand up for her felt really good.

She tapped at Dylan's shoulder who looked over at her. ”What are you doing, Didi?”

”I should be asking you. Why didn't you do anything?” He retorted making her raise her brow in question. ”Normally you have a lot to say, how come you stayed so quiet there?”

Xiu smiled at him saying, ”Because I don't like wasting my words and energy on people who don't even deserve my silence. If one person is mentally retarded, I shouldn't drop myself to that level.”

”But you always argue with me no matter how stupid it seems,” complained Dylan.

Xiu fixed his hair that he had ruined by raking his fingers through again and again as she said, ”That means, I find you important enough to waste my breath and my brain cells on you.”

Dylan's eyes widened slightly but then he frowned, ”Even if you didn't want to do anything. You should have called for me.”

Xiu facepalmed herself, ”You're overreacting.” Then she turned towards the huge aquarium beside them and smiled widely, ”Look, fishes!” Dylan looked at her smiling face and his frown loosened a bit. He followed her gaze and looked at the fishes she was pointing at. Suddenly, she blurted out, ”Yum. That looks really yummy.”

Dylan gaped at her in disbelief. Was she for real? He had a look of horror on his face as he looked at her. ”How can you even think about eating such cute fishes?”

Xiu noticed his expression and rolled her eyes, ”Because I'm hungry Dylan. And what cute? It's all the same when it ends up in my tummy.”

”That sounds even more horrible,” whined Dylan.

Xiu shook her head at him as she said, ”You're acting like a kid who just got to know that Santa is not real.” Dylan pouted at her remark while she pointed at a fish and said, ”Don't make that face. You look like that fish.”

Dylan looked at the fish. ”Well, at least, I look cute.”

Xiu poked his head, ”No, silly. You look ugly!” While Dylan was scowling she added, ”Dylan, thank you!”

Xiu's eyes widened slightly at his words. ”You...”

”I'm not ugly anymore right?” he leaned close to her as if asking for some praises.

Xiu shook her head at his reaction. ”Well, you look a little bit better now.”

”Only a little?”
