302 Kidnap You (1/2)

Being called weird wasn't actually a compliment that they ever got before this day but for some reason, both of them didn't mind it at all. In fact, being weird with that adorable little fella seemed the right thing to do to both of them.

”You okay, Zi?” asked Qiu Jiayi as he looked at his best friend's face.

”Hmm...” Xin Zimen hummed in reply. ”Why wouldn't I be?”

”Why do I feel like you're gonna cry?” Qiu Jiayi raised his brow inquisitively. He really felt like his best friend was gonna cry.

”I'm not,” answered Xin Zimen as he sniffled sneakily to hold back his tears. He definitely wasn't gonna give this satisfaction to Qiu Jiayi.

”You know I won't say anything even if you did cry,” remarked Qiu Jiayi. But the other one really didn't believe his words. Perhaps, the track record of a certain someone wasn't as exemplary as it seemed.

Xin Zimen looked at his best friend with red-rimmed eyes and said, ”I've read somewhere, some strangers have familiar souls. She's that stranger who took a moment to make my life flash past my eyes.”

Qiu Jiayi stayed quiet because he knew what his best friend was talking about. It actually took him off guard when Xiu started her one-man melodrama. Some memories really couldn't just stay buried...

”So, this is how the show will begin. I'll announce to your father that I'm marrying Zi whether he likes it or not!” A melodious feminine voice announced with her hand held high up facing the sky like a warrior holding his sword up.

”Stop being dramatic and get to the point,” said an irritated voice of Xin Zimen looking up at those familiar pitch-black eyes.

”As always, impatient Zi,” she scoffed before continuing, ”Anyways, then the battle of wits will begin. Your father being your father will say, 'I won't let my son marry you! You're an uncultured girl with no family!'”

Another hand raised and she sighed out, ”Yes, Yi what's up with you now?”

”I say, that's not the right order. I mean, everybody knows that you're uncultured, and yes you don't have a family but your family name is still there to back you up,” Qiu Jiayi remarked. ”Honestly speaking any sane person wouldn't really mind making you his daughter-in-law. After all where else would they find the prestige of Wen Family? You're the last descendent.”

”Where is your girl?”

”Oh. she went home today,” he answered.

”No wonder you look so lost,” she answered making him scowl while Xin Zimen burst out laughing. ”Don't say the obvious. I know that already.”

”So, moving on, I'll say, 'But Uncle I love Zi very much and-”

”Wait!” Qiu Jiayi interrupted her once again. ”That's a big lie! You don't love Zi at all!”

”Oh, really?” Both of them nodded in agreement.
