600 Pick Up Your Cinderella (1/2)
”Regi, come with me. I have something to talk to you.” Ying dragged Darren away from Xiu to a secluded corner leaving behind Xiu who was rubbing her temples.
Meanwhile, Ah-Si tapped her shoulder asking, ”There is something different about you tonight.”
Xiu pointed at herself, ”Me? How?”
”I can't explain but I feel like something is different,” replied Ah-Si thoughtfully.
Xiu rubbed her chin before saying, ”Maybe, I've gotten fatter.”
”I'm serious.”
”So am I, Ah-Si” Xiu deadpanned.
His brows knitted up as he said, ”How come you started calling me Ah-Si? Didn't you use to call me Si bro in a nice and sweet voice?”
Xiu laughed to herself, ”I did. My brain must have been seriously hurt back then.”
”What did you say?” his voice got deeper and dangerous.
”What I mean is that I finally realized that your mental age is of a teenager meanwhile my own mental age is of a thirty-something person. So, technically, I'm older. Why should I call you Si bro then?”
Ah-Si's lips twitched as he stared at her speechlessly. Scratching his head he said, ”Always have faith in your twisted words and logic. I'm not even surprised at this point.”
Xiu smiled sweetly in reply, ”Aren't I awesome?”
”Having the ability to blacken the white and whiten the black is a real talent. You're indeed awesome!” Xiu squinted her eyes at him giving him a pointed look. ”I mean to say you're so awesome that I believe I should be calling you Jiejie(elder sister) instead of Meimei(younger sister).”
Xiu was quite pleased with that answer as she nodded agreeably, ”I also think you should.”
”Oh, weren't you gonna call Ying Jie's boyfriend? Call him. Actually, ask him to come here. I also want to see this boyfriend now.”
”Didn't you already see him at the mall last time?” questioned Xiu.
”I couldn't see clearly and after that, Ying Jie is not giving me any window of opportunity to see him.”
”Hold on,” with that Xiu finally dialed Han Bohai's number. ”Hello, Xiao Bobo!”
Han Bohai was momentarily at a loss for words. The way Xiu called out to him held the same mischievous gentleness and care he had been once very familiar with. It left his nerves shaken for a moment and he couldn't come up with any words to say.
Not getting any reply, Xiu looked at her phone and tried again, ”Oi! You there? Is it too loud here? I should get out of here.” Xiu made her way towards a silent corner before asking again, ”Can you hear me now?” Han Bohai only managed to hum in reply to let her know that he was on the call. ”Great! Now, hurry up and tell me, are you back?”
