456 Maybe... (1/2)

Xiu pocketed her phone and stared at the closed door of Darren's apartment. Even Francesca wasn't there since she had been helping Zhao Wei all this while.

*Ding*

As she heard the elevator's ding, she turned her head and saw Ying coming out while yawning.

”Ying Jie, where are you coming from?”

Ying looked up at Xiu before turning to unlock the door of her own place as she replied, ”I just went to get some banana milk for myself.”

”Where is it?” asked Xiu seeing how her hands were empty now.

”I drank it,” replied Ying nonchalantly leaving Xiu sigh. ”Anyways, what are you doing out in the hallway?”

”Oh,” Xiu ran over to her side as she said, ”I was just about to look for you. Get your car keys.”

”What for?” inquired Ying.

”I just told you yesterday, if you're gonna follow me just do it openly. I need to go somewhere.”

Ying looked at her face before nodding, ”Give me a minute.” She hurried inside and came out almost instantly with a jacket and keys in her hand. ”Let's go!”

Xiu hummed in reply and went with her. As they both settled in the car, Ying asked, ”Where are we going?”

”Dylan's place,” replied Xiu. Ying's hands paused a little before she tapped the steering wheel and nodded her head. ”We are going to Dylan's place. Not his parents' place. Besides, his sister has moved in with his parents now.” Xiu felt the need to clear this detail for Ying's sake.

Ying gave her a sideways glance. ”Kid, you're a lot more aware of your surrounding and the feelings of people around you than people give you credit for.”

”I can't survive as a dense person,” answered Xiu as she fastened her seatbelt and clapped her hands, ”Let's go now!”

The drive was supposed to be silent but with Xiu around, it was not possible. ”I love your car by the way. But why are driving so slow?”

”Safety first,” said Ying with her eyes on the road.

”Woah! I never took you for the person who plays safe though.”

Ying chuckled her words, ”I indeed don't play safe but I'm supposed to keep you safe. Can't neglect my duty just for my own thrill.”

While Xiu was nodding agreeably, Ying's cell phone rang. Since it was connected with the car, Xiu could read the caller id on the screen at the front, ”Ying Jie, who is Yi?”

”Dylan's father,” said Ying with a wink at her before she pressed the button on the steering wheel to accept the call. ”What's up, Yi?”

”It's Yi's wife speaking,” came the reply making Ying frown and Xiu to look at her with wide eyes.

”Oh, hello there, Weiwei!” Ying wasn't really surprised. ”How come you decided to call me today? And that too from your husband's phone.”
