393 Angry Water (2/2)

Xiu slapped his head. ”And I thought you'd be mature enough to keep your heartbroken look out of the business. But I guess we both expected too much from each other.”

Dylan could huff at her stinging remark.

”Your point here is?” he inquired looking bored.

”Maybe you should also have joined them. Perhaps they could find the right civilization for you.”

Dylan's face twitched uncontrollably. ”Are you saying that I'm an alien who needs to find the right civilization?”

”I didn't say anything but you're smart,” she flashed him a grin, annoying him even more than he was. However, her original plan was to make him laugh. This look really didn't suit him but what could she do now? He didn't look like he was gonna fall for her lame jokes today. ”Here, have some water and stop sulking.” She suggested while offering him a glass of water.

”I want a fizzy drink. Can you get me Sprite instead of water?”

Xiu thought about it before saying, ”Sprite is also just angry water. You drink this water and leave the job of making you angry with me. It'll just be like you drank the Sprite.”

Xiu focused on his face and soon his face cracked as his lips curled up in a silly smile. ”You're a fool!”

”I know and this fool is more accustomed to her idiot friend's smile. So lose the frown it's making you look like a grandpa.”

Dylan nodded his head and finally appeared as if he was feeling better. But then again, he always felt good around Xiu no matter what kind of nonsense went between them. They had rarely been serious with each other. If they weren't being sarcastic then they would be laughing at each other. But this unique bond of theirs was quite special to both of them.

Because unknowingly, Dylan had come to depend a lot more on her than he cared to admit.

Xiu patted his head like he was a puppy as she began, ”I know courting a girl is not that simple. It's an art. But I'm here for you. This sister-in-law is not gonna let you sulk alone.”

”Be honest with me,” he gave her a suspicious look. ”You're so eager to find me a girlfriend because you want to push me out of Dazi's life, right?”

Xiu gasped, ”Did you take the wrong medicine? How are you so smart today?” While Dylan scrunched up his face, she laughed at him while ruffling his hair. ”No, idiot! I really want to do this for you. Why can't you just believe that I'm that good?” She took a pause and added slyly, ”Although part of my reason is to push a mistress like you out of my happy family.”

”I knew it!” he pointed his finger at her accusingly.

After Xiu was successful in lifting up his mood, they both started the work. Since Dylan was working on a project, Xiu stayed with him passing him the documents and data that he needed. After interacting for months both personally and professionally, they both had a tactic understanding where they didn't to talk but could work in perfect synchronization.
