451 Love & Loved One (2/2)
Nora held Xiu's shoulders and looked at her anxiously, ”We have an emergency.”
”Huh?”
”I have nothing to wear on the date!”
Xiu's face twitched before she facepalmed herself and smacked Nora's head later on. ”Is that an emergency? Stop overreacting!”
”You also overreacted when you were supposed to go on your first date with Darren. Why can't I? I had been waiting for this for years.”
Xiu found Nora's reasoning very reasonable and replied, ”I agree. But do you wanna go shopping at this time? It's almost 9 o'clock now. Isn't it better to pick something from your wardrobe?”
”You don't get it, my wardrobe is anything but first date material.”
”That doesn't even make sense,” said Xiu with a tired look. ”How about checking my wardrobe then? I still have so many clothes that I never even tried on.”
”That's because Xiu loves sleeping rather than going out for fun.” Jackie's words made Xiu smile at herself in pride. Just how smart was she! Her motto; 'Sleeping is better than fun.' had not only saved her so much trouble, but she also saved up a lot of money.
”Are you feeling very happy to hear that?” asked Nora and Xiu nodded her head without hesitation. ”You're lucky that your boyfriend is also just like you. He also loves to stay indoors. You both are such a homey couple that it makes me feel...”
”Envious?”
Nora stared at Xiu's smirk and felt indignant. However, she still bobbed her head up and down honestly. She indeed found them very envious. Xiu and Darren were the only pair she saw who would rather have a homemade meal than going on adventurous dates.
First, they both didn't have time for that. Second, they both were homebodies.
And yet, their small gestures like going to the office together, coming back together, sharing at least one meal together, going for grocery shopping together, having a walk in the park together, or just simply accompanying each other to sleep were enough to make anyone jealous.
”You just made me realize that I still haven't gone shopping with my Baobei. And I still have to take him to the beach and see fireworks together. He has to buy me balloons as well.” Nora's words finally enlightened Xiu who was already content with her dating experience. She never hoped for anything extravagant. This simple dating was enough for her. She shrugged her shoulders and said, ”But whatever! We have our whole lives to do that stuff.”
Nora rolled her eyes at Xiu and said, ”Sis, you really love rubbing it in that your love is superior.”
”There is no such thing as superior love,” argued Xiu. ”It's all about how much you trust your love and your loved one.”
