466 Feel Nothin (1/2)

”I...” Dylan struggled with words. As for why? He didn't know. He silently followed her inside the house as he said, ”I was just gonna come inside.”

”Didn't seem like it,” replied Xiu before beckoning him to lower his head. Dylan frowned in confusion but didn't dare to argue as he silently lowered his head. Xiu took his towel from around his shoulders and started wiping his hair. ”I thought you guys weren't friends anymore.”

Because of the towel, Dylan couldn't see her face. He thought for a minute before saying, ”We are not.”

”Then why was he here?” questioned Xiu as she pulled off the towel from his head and walked away.

”He was here as a neighbor to complain about the blunder I did last night.” Xiu turned around with an inquisitive look. ”The cat I played with was his.” Xiu's frown deepened and as if understanding her, he went on, ”I also am surprised to know that he's my neighbor. Shocking, right?”

Xiu shook her head in reply, ”No... The shocking part is that he has a cat? Isn't he allergic to cats?”

Dylan also noticed this and nodded his head, ”Oh, that's right. He does have a cat allergy. Then why is he keeping a cat?” All of a sudden, his eyes shifted to Xiu with a strange look.

”What? Why are you looking at me?”

”You didn't even know that your boyfriend doesn't like dogs but you do know that your ex-boyfriend is allergic to cats. That's hurtful.”

Xiu rolled her eyes at him, ”My boyfriend didn't tell me about his dislikes at that time. As for my so-called ex-boyfriend, he ended up in a hospital because of his cat allergy and I was the reason. I can't possibly forget that.”

”Really?” Xiu nodded her head in reply. Dylan took a moment hesitating before he started, ”About seeing your ex-boyfriend here... It must not be a good experience.”

”I don't mind,” was Xiu's casual remark which left Dylan staring at her agape.

”You don't have to keep up this facade before me. I won't judge. I promise.”

”But I'm not wearing any facade,” retorted Xiu.

”You can't fool me.”

”I know I can't fool you.” Dylan felt smug when she said that but almost instantly wanted to choke her to death as she concluded with, ”Fooling a fool is not my style.”

”Xiu!”

”Lower your voice! I'm not your E.A anymore.” Xiu's voice was calm but he could hear the warning lying underneath that calmness. ”Also, as I said earlier, I really don't mind seeing Zhou Jinhai here.”

Dylan was perplexed. How was that possible? He really wasn't willing to believe her words.

”Then why did you just stood there? Seeing him at the door, you didn't move.”

”I was a bit taken aback seeing him at the door and that too in his sleepwear. There is no other reason.”
