336 Haunting Ghos (1/2)

*Plop*

That was the sound that greeted Darren as soon as he knocked on Dylan's door. Without waiting, he opened the door and what came before his eyes was a sight of his best friend lying on the ground with his legs tangled in sheets.

It really made him wonder how he actually came across this idiot who would fall down his bed even in his sleep. Dylan who was oblivious to his best friend's criticism towards him was now rubbing his buttock that was sore.

”Need a hand?”

Dylan looked up to see Darren standing before him with his hand extended towards him. Dylan sighed out as he held his hand and pulled himself up from the ground. However, instead of standing up, he chose to fall on his bed and close his eyes.

”Dazi, leave me alone. I really am not in the mood to entertain you. Being at your girlfriend's beck and call for the past couple of days was enough of a torture for my poor soul. I really can't take it anymore.”

Darren could only frown at Dylan's words. ”What happened?”

Dylan put a pillow over his head. Only his muffled voice could be heard, ”Don't ask me. Go and ask your precious girlfriend. And while you're at it, please do ask why did she spend two nights in my room with me?!”

”What did you say?” Hearing that dangerously low voice of his best friend Dylan immediately cowered back and waved his hand.

”Not that I mind her disturbing me at all,” Dylan was trying to find a way to placate him since Darren looked like he was very close to throwing a punch at his face.

Darren took a deep breath before he wounded his arm around Dylan's neck dangerously and asked, ”When I saw her earlier, she looked like she overworked herself or something. How much did you make her work?”

Dylan shook his head frantically as he tried to squirm his way out of Darren's grip. But note the keyword, TRIED. Not like there was any chance for him to escape the deadlock. So, he gave up struggling to save up his energy as he said, ”Bro, it's more like she made me work for her.” Darren frowned slightly while he continued, ”For two nights straight, she didn't let me sleep. You have no idea what I've been through because of her.”

Darren loosened his grip around Dylan's neck but his arm still lingered over his shoulder. ”Tell me in detail about what happened.”

Dylan rubbed his sleepy eyes and took the glass of water from his side table to take a sip before he began the story of his nightmare...

On the second night of his stay in Lin City...

It was half-past eleven when Dylan finally managed to close his eyes to sleep. His consciousness was about to cross over to the dreamland when suddenly.

*Knock! Knock! Knock!*

That impatient and annoying knocking at his door made him groan. What the hell! He was just about to sleep? Why was someone disturbing him at this time of the night?

”Xiu? What are you doing here? At this time... Are you okay?”

He visibly saw her expressions easing up as she pushed him aside and entered his room without waiting for the owner of the room to invite.

”Hey! I didn't invite you to come inside!”

Xiu plopped down on his sofa and chirped in an unusually loud voice, ”And you weren't planning on inviting me inside that's why I chose to invite myself in.”

Dylan could only roll his eyes at her. ”Whatever. But why are you here? And why are you sweating so much?”

”I'm feeling very hot and the AC in my room broke,” answered Xiu while she picked up tissues from the box on the coffee table and wiped her face with it before running around to the mini-fridge and helping herself to cold water.

”Are you kidding me? Call the hotel management and change the room or something. Why are you here?”
