419 Like A Teenager (2/2)

”How come I act like a teenager?”

Xiu pointed at his face, ”See, you're acting like one right now. Unreasonable and stubborn!”

”No, that's all because I love you.”

Xiu shook her head tiredly, ”I think you're getting infected with my random disease. Because these days, you just randomly announce your love.”

Darren touched her nose lightly, ”It's not random. I told you, if I could I'd say I love you all the time!” Xiu did a mistake again of looking into his eyes as he said those words to her. Now, how was she supposed to look away?

”Ahem! Ahem!”

Timely, someone cleared their throat and Xiu managed to take a step away from Darren. As she turned her head and saw Cali standing at the side trying to look anywhere but them, Xiu's ears turned red.

”Sorry, I wasn't planning on disturbing,” said Cali in her defense.

”But you still disturbed,” Darren shot back at her unhappily. ”Couldn't you come a little later? Or you could have stayed quiet!”

Xiu slapped his shoulder, ”That's no way to talk to a guest.”

”Sweets, you can't hit me for her now!” Darren looked at Xiu and went on, ”Besides, she's your guest. Not mine!”

”I'm not your guest, but I'm your friend,” reminded Cali to him.

”Yeah, a friend who is trying to steal my wife from me.”

Xiu punched in the code to his apartment and opened the door before shoving him inside. ”Regan, it's just a dinner. Stop overreacting!” Before he could open his mouth, she had already closed the door and turned to Cali, ”Sorry about that.” Cali smiled in return to show it was alright. ”But weren't you gonna come after an hour?”

”Since you said you're gonna cook yourself, I thought I should help you,” said Cali as she helped her with the grocery bags.

”Don't let her help. She just a disaster in the kitchen!” came Darren's voice from behind the closed doors. Xiu rolled her eyes at him while Cali laughed.

It was truly amusing for Cali to see how Xiu and Darren acted. It was entertaining and refreshing as well.

”You don't pay attention to him. I don't need any help,” said Xiu without hesitation as she opened the door and led her inside. Cali silently nodded and followed her in.

Meanwhile, there was another person who was unexpectedly but thoroughly fed with Darren and Xiu's domestic display of love. Who would have the thought that when Yan Ying came to just inspect the place where Xiu lives, she'd have to suffer through the torture of watching this loving couple spreading love in the middle of the hallway?

Coming out from the place where she was hiding, Ying placed a hand over her head as if consoling herself as she whispered, ”Being a guardian angel... This won't be easy.” Then she looked in the direction of their doors and added, ”These two want me to contract diabetes now.”
