515 Equally Crazy (1/2)

Darren didn't know what reaction he was expecting from Xiu. He honestly had no idea. Because first of all, Xiu never followed the norms. Secondly, this situation wasn't exactly something he could predict.

However, he still expected to see some reaction from Xiu.

In the end, he was left disappointed since the only reaction he got from Xiu was nonchalance. In fact, her face didn't even have a slight change in expressions. Her mood wasn't dampened. She didn't look like she was struggling to digest this new information either. It almost seemed like she was a normal girl who was just meeting a stranger.

She just politely bowed her head and greeted Zhou Xichen, ”Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhou.”

While Darren was left gaping at her, Zhou Xichen replied, ”Likewise.” Xiu's smile didn't falter at all as she continued to exchange a few words with Zhou Xichen leaving Darren in shock. ”It's good that you came all the way here to see my son. I was getting tired of seeing him sulking all alone.”

Xiu giggled softly as she looked up at Darren and said, ”I knew he'd be sulking that's why I am here.”

Darren's trance finally broke as he smiled back at her and rubbed her head saying, ”Well, thank you so much for thinking about me.”

*Bzzzz*

Xiu fished out her phone from her jacket and excused herself to a side. Looking at her back, Darren was still in disbelief that she didn't react. What was this sudden progress? What was exactly going on? How was he supposed to read his Sweets' mind now? She wasn't letting him see what was going through her mind.

He really couldn't process the fact that seeing Zhou Xichen had no effect on her. And then, she wasn't even fazed by learning the truth about their relationship. As if it was all within her expectations. As if, she already knew the truth. Thinking this far, Darren's eyes widened. Did she really know it? How?

”Stop looking at her, she's already here. She certainly won't vanish in a minute.”

Darren looked up at his father and realized that he had been constantly staring at Xiu.

”I think I finally know why you're so crazy about her.”

”Really?” Darren quirked his brows at his father inquisitively.

Zhou Xichen nodded his head as he replied, ”Isn't it obvious? She's equally crazy about you.” Darren's lips curled up. He couldn't deny that. ”You're missing her and here she came to surprise you. What a lucky guy you are!”

”Don't drink so much vinegar, dad.”

”You!” Zhou Xichen raised his head and Darren took a step back. In the end, Zhou Xichen pinched his cheek like he was a kid as he said, ”Stop taunting your father at every chance you get.”

Darren shrugged his shoulders and didn't reply. His eyes still darted around to find that one person.

Meanwhile...

Xiu heaved a long sigh, ”Ying Jie, give me a break. How am I supposed to answer when you're not even giving me a chance to reply?”

”Oh...” Ying finally realized that she had asked all the questions in a single breath. But she had been really worried for some reason so she couldn't help herself.

Xiu could only shake her head at Ying's worries but she didn't mind it at all. It was heartwarming anyway.
