341 I Know Her Very Well (1/2)

”Hello, ladies!”

Both Nora and Cali looked up to see Dylan standing right beside their table. While Cali was raising her brows in surprise, Nora was grinning knowingly. He really came running, eh!

”When did you come back?”

The question came from Cali who didn't expect to see him here at all. Obviously they weren't close enough for her to know about his schedule but Darren still had informed her that Dylan was gonna stay out of town for another day or two. So, seeing him here was something that never even crossed her mind.

”This morning,” answered Dylan inviting himself to sit at the seat which was previously occupied by Xiu. He seemed to have taken a leaf out of Xiu's book without knowing it himself because she was the only person he knew who would fit herself anywhere without any invitation.

”Hey! That's Xiu's seat. Do you want to start another world war with her?” This reaction could only belong to Nora who was one of the witnesses of the war scenes between Xiu and Dylan. And she really didn't want them to start here.

Dylan waved her off saying, ”Dear Nora, if I and Dazi are standing side by side, who do you think will catch Xiu's attention? Whether she'd be interested in starting a world war with me or would she be more than ready to jump on her boyfriend?”

”Of course, the latter. Between you and Darren, she'd always go with Darren.”

”Bingo!” Dylan clicked his fingers together. ”That's exactly she's going to do even now.”

”You mean, Darren is here?” inquired Nora while craning her neck to look around for even a shadow of Darren.

Dylan placed his hand on her head and rotated in the direction of where he left his best friend with his love. ”He seems busy. Do you want to disturb them?”

From her position, Nora could clearly make out the silhouette of two people who were stuck together and didn't even have to know further than that to understand where this was going. ”I guess she's not coming back.”

”I'd be surprised if she really did come back,” answered Dylan knowingly.

”Wait!” Cali finally cut their conversation short as she questioned, ”Bai Xiu is Regan's girlfriend?”

”She didn't introduce herself?” asked Dylan strangely. He really couldn't believe it when Cali shook her head in reply. ”How is that possible? She loves to show off her boyfriend. How did she forget to flaunt her love before you?”

”Perhaps, because she didn't know that I'm acquainted with Regan,” said Cali.

”She knows,” answered Dylan. ”She knows it very well.”

Hearing Dylan's answer made Cali wonder if that was the reason why Xiu called her 'tattoo girl' earlier. She definitely seemed to recognize her but even she was in bewilderment at that time since she had never met Xiu before. But now it made sense that Darren must have talked about her.

Anyways, she was more interested in this new information that Xiu was actually Darren's girlfriend. She really didn't expect someone like Xiu to catch Darren's attention. He was a calm and collected kind of person but his girlfriend wasn't one. And even in the past, all his girlfriends could say be the exact opposite of Xiu.

”She's trying to keep her public display affection to a minimum these days.”

Nora's voice broke Cali's trance.

Dylan pointed in the direction of Xiu and Darren before voicing out, ”That's keeping it down?”
