455 Respect, Abstinence & Curfew! (2/2)

”Where is Nora?” he asked.

”I'm here,” came Nora's voice from behind Xiu but before Ah-Si could see her, Xiu stepped out and closed the door startling Ah-Si. Even when Nora tried to pull open the door from inside she couldn't because Xiu was holding it tightly from outside. ”Xiu, I told you to behave yourself!” Nora shouted from inside.

Xiu completely ignored her and stared right at Ah-Si. Her height might not be intimidating but her aura certainly was. ”I have some words of advice for you, Mr. junior Xin.”

Ah-Si nodded his head with a frown, ”I wonder what Ms. Bai has to say to me.”

”First, give my sister the respect she deserves. Second, I believe you know the concept of abstinence.” He almost choked on air but calmly handles the situation.

”Anything else?” he asked.

”I'm not done, bro!” replied Xiu with a sly smile. ”Remember, I'm everywhere. So behave because my bat is also with me.” Ah-Si's face twitched at her threatening but he didn't disturb her. ”I'm an old-fashioned person, you hurt her, I hurt you worse.”

”Roger that, boss!”

Xiu finally let Nora come out who was now glaring at her. ”Xiu, what did you say to him?”

”Nothing,” replied Xiu innocently.

Ah-Si could only hold back his smile at both of them. The way Xiu talked was like a father warning him about dating his daughter. ”Shall we go now?” he asked while Nora nodded and gave Xiu a suspicious look before walking with him.

”Oi!” Xiu shouted at their back and when Ah-Si turned around to look at her, she went on, ”Bring my girl back by 10 pm. And when I say 10, I actually mean an hour earlier. I believe you know the drill.”

Ah-Si gave her a mock salute as he replied, ”I'll keep that in mind, Sir!”

Xiu was satisfied with that answer, ”Then have fun.”

When they got into the elevator, Nora turned to Ah-Si, ”Don't mind whatever Xiu said. She is a little bit crazy.”

Ah-Si smiled at her pleasantly which surprised Nora. ”I find her rather cute though. She is like a rabbit baring its teeth but at the end of the day, its still a rabbit which is adorable.”

Nora thought about his words and couldn't help nodding in agreement.

At the entrance of the building, he opened the door for Nora before taking his own seat behind the wheel. Just as he buckled up, his phone chimed. He took it from the side and checked the message since it was from Xiu. It read...

'You both are passive kind of people. But I advise you to be a little active this time around. Otherwise, your daughter might reach the alter but you both will be stuck right where you are! You love her, she loves you. Stop wasting time. Life is already very short!

P.S. If you both didn't take this relationship anywhere by the end of the day, I'm gonna lock you both in a dungeon!'

A smile spread on his lips as he read the message.

”Is everything okay?” inquired Nora when she saw how silent he had been. Ah-Si turned to look at her and nodded his head firmly.

”Everything is perfect,” he said before driving out of there.
