300 Shall We? (1/2)

”Xiu, come inside. I have so much to tell you,” Zhao Wei was already feeling excited about having a partner to talk to. It wouldn't be wrong to say that she had become really fond of Xiu in just one meeting. And she was eagerly waiting for Xiu to visit again.

”Ma, you aren't happy to see me?” Dylan acted pitifully to seek his mother's attention.

”You're here almost every other day. I don't even know why you aren't going to your own place,” noted Zhao Wei with a hint of suspicion in her tone.

Dylan decided not to say anything in reply to that question. Sometimes, it was wise to stay quiet as well.

He tugged at his mother's sleeve and said, ”Ma, are you tired of me? This was it? How can your love for me run out so fast?”

”Dramatic bitch!” said Xiu from the side making Dylan glare at her. ”What? You're acting so clingy. If you didn't stop acting like Weiwei's leg accessory, your father might kick you out of the house!”

Before Dylan could open his mouth to say anything, another deep voice spoke up, ”That's true. I'm this close to kicking you out now, Didi. Let my wife go already.”

Dylan looked at his father and scowled then he looked at the other person beside him and hopped off to his side, ”Uncle Zi, your best friends are bullying me.”

Xiu finally noticed the presence of Qiu Jiayi and Xin Zimen. She couldn't help but be in awe as she looked at them. Even though one could find a few grey hairs but one couldn't possibly find a single flaw in both of them. They looked handsome even at this age. While she was being mesmerized by their looks, she didn't realize that the two of them had been looking at her with an imperceptible gentleness in their eyes.

”Xiu, let me introduce you,” Dylan started to break off the staring that was going on. ”This is my father, Qiu Jiayi. You must have heard his name and if you didn't, it's no big deal.” Qiu Jiayi rolled his eyes at his own son which Dylan conveniently disregarded as he went on, ”And this one is my uncle, Xin Zimen. Now, don't say you don't know him that's like a crime. Because everybody knows my most amazing uncle Zi.”

Xin Zimen rubbed Dylan's head and said, ”No wonder you're my favorite.” Dylan giggled in response.

But then he noticed Xiu who still wasn't saying anything and waved his hand before her eyes, ”Hey! Where are you lost?”

”I'm thinking,” replied Xiu as she stroked her jaw.

”What are you thinking?” questioned Dylan.

Xiu looked at Qiu Jiayi and Xin Zimen before looking at Dylan, ”With a family of such superior genes, how amazing you're to have such an average face.”

”Hey!”

”Hahaha...”

Except for Dylan everyone burst out laughing at Xiu's remark. Meanwhile, the perpetrator just shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly and said, ”I'm just calling you talented. It's also a talent.”

Zhao Wei looked at Xiu before slapping Dylan's head, ”Why are you just telling me that now? Xiu, come with me I'll fix you a meal.” Xiu nodded and turned to leave with Zhao Wei. A couple of steps away, she turned to look at Dylan and winked at him making him curse which earned him another slap from his father.

”That's bad manners.”

”But she teased me first,” said Dylan.

Xin Zimen and Qiu Jiayi rubbed Dylan's head and shook their head at him. This one was really innocent. How easy was it to mess with him? Both of them put a hand on his shoulder and made him sit between them. Dylan looked at both his father and uncle with an uncertain look.
