569 Pigeon! (2/2)

”It's not that I'm accepting defeat, I can teach you piano but with your speed, it might take a year. Are you willing to wait that long just to ask Cali to be your girlfriend? I believe you can even have a child by then.” Xiu also sat down with him and perched her face on her hand as she stared at him.

Dylan swallowed the food before saying, ”No, I can't wait that long. Even if the idea of having a child with her is very enticing, I still can't wait that long. By the way, why did you cook this much?”

Xiu completely overlooked his last question and continued to say, ”Then if you can't wait, what are you up to?”

”Glad that you asked,” said Dylan as he placed his chopsticks down and smiled at Xiu. ”Now, I'm gonna use my trump card.”

”What's your trump card?” she retorted.

”It's not what. Ask who?”

Xiu rolled her eyes at him and asked, ”Okay then Mr. Dylan Qiu, do tell me WHO is the trump card?”

”Ladies and gentlemen,” Dylan made an exaggerating manner of using his spoon as his mic as he went on, ”Give a big round of applause for my trump card, my one and only sister-in-law, Bai Xiu! Yay!!” With that, he even dared to clap right before her face.

”I'm gonna smack your face, do you believe me?”

”I do,” he answered honestly. ”I know you won't hesitate but I also know that you want me to be happy. So, you'd definitely do what I say.”

Xiu held her forehead as she said, ”You've gotten sharp.”

Dylan grinned at her saying, ”So, are you up for it?”

Hearing his plan, she nodded. ”I'm okay. But tonight is not an option. Let's do it tomorrow instead. I've something important planned for tonight.”

”Great minds think alike,” stated Dylan happily. ”I have already planned everything for tomorrow. You just have to show up and see if everything is fine.”

Xiu was really surprised seeing him acting like this. So, she didn't even want to make a cutting remark for him. ”You're truly taking advantage of a jobless person now.”

”My company is still waiting for you. Do you want to come back to work?”

Xiu shook her head. ”No, thanks! I'm looking for a job.”

”What kind of job are you looking for?”

”I have no idea!” replied Xiu plainly. ”I mean, I still don't want to do that 9 to 5 job. I'm not an early bird. It's not my cup of tea.”

”You're neither a night owl, buddy!” Dylan pointed out knowingly.

Xiu sighed out, ”Yes, yes. I'm neither an early bird nor a night owl. I'm just some sort of permanently exhausted pigeon!”
