590 Strange Hobby (1/2)
Xiu had been silent when Gigi spoke up again, ”In your case, I'd strongly recommend for you to take things slowly.”
”In my case?” Xiu's brows quirked up. ”Why is that?”
”I've read about your fondness for alcohol.” Xiu's eyes widened significantly. ”Also, it's also said that you change into a depressed, mentally, and emotionally unstable wreck whenever you get drunk.” They even knew that about her? Just what kind of background check they had done? At this point, she won't be shocked if they said they knew about her rebirth as well.
Okay! That as a bit far-fetched!
”Wow!” Xiu couldn't help exclaiming whether, in praise or shock, she couldn't tell herself. ”I didn't know you guys take your job that seriously.”
Gigi gave her a small smile saying, ”As I said, it's a standard procedure. We can't approach the target with a blindfold on.” Xiu could only sigh as she heard that. ”Anyways, as I said, since you always show symptoms of depression, straining your brain cells or pushing yourself to remember might push you even further down in an abyss. At this rate, you might end up suffering from a mental breakdown.”
Xiu's body shuddered as something came to her mind when Gigi mentioned 'mental breakdown.' She chose to silently chew at her lips, silently looking out the window.
Suddenly the silent space buzzed alive with a very peculiar ringtone...
♪Stop calling me I'm not your buddy
And I don't wanna be your pal,
just like how I don't wanna take this call
Since you're not my type of crow
Don't even try to be my foe♪
Gigi couldn't help looking at Xiu strangely who in turn smiled sheepishly before taking the call.
”Dylan, I'm on my way. What's the rush?!”
Yes, that particular ringtone had been only set for Dylan. Only he had the right to enjoy such a privilege. She had spent quite an effort recording that special ringtone when she was teaching Dylan how to play the piano but all he did was get on her nerves.
”You aren't there yet? We are about to leave here!”
Sensing how tensed and anxious Dylan sounded, Xiu smiled to herself wickedly.
”It'll take you about three hours to get there. All I have to do is look over some preparation, it's no big deal. I'll be there at 5-ish. Heavy on the ish though.”
