603 101 Ways To Start An Argumen (1/2)

As Xiu had insisted, she really didn't bother getting up to make small talk with a bunch of strangers. It wasn't her kind of thing and she wasn't even gonna try being something she wasn't. So what if all these people were influential? The only person who had any influence on her of any kind was her Regan and he was already with her. Her whole world was him and she was very content with that much. Having too many acquaintances also created unnecessary drama that she couldn't handle.

”Regan, do you know everyone here?” Xiu casually asked.

”Not everyone but I'm acquainted with most of them,” answered Darren.

”Oh, then you should go and say hi to them,” Xiu pushed him.

”I'm not gonna leave you here alone,” he replied.

Xiu again nudged him, ”Don't be difficult. If you know them, then it's wrong not to say hello. Besides, I'm a grown woman. I won't get lost here. Just go already.”

Darren hesitated for a while but seeing how she wasn't backing off, he decided to greet people. Behind him, Xiu had just decided to play a game on her phone when someone chirped beside her, ”Xiu, are you alone? Where is your Baobei?”

Xiu didn't want to have any kind of argument with Dylan. So, she calmly replied, ”He is greeting his acquaintances.”

”Oh, he left you here alone? For his acquaintances?”

Xiu looked at him as she smirked, ”Well, at least he has acquaintances.”

Dylan's face darkened, ”Why are you looking for a fight?”

”You started it,” said Xiu. ”I was sitting here minding my own business. You popped out of nowhere to bother me.”

”I didn't come to bother you,” retorted Dylan and took a deep breath to stay level headed. ”I just wanted to apologize for yesterday. I shouldn't have talked to you like that after all, you came all the way just to help me.”

”Took you long enough to realize that I was only trying to help,” Xiu's voice was cutting. ”I took your apology, now shoo!”

”What kind of behavior is this?”

”In Xiu's dictionary, that's normal behavior.”

Dylan rolled his eyes at her and was about to say something when hearing another voice, he stopped. ”Oh, Xiu is here as well.” Cali rushed to sit beside Xiu and hugged her. ”It's been days I haven't seen you. How come you're so difficult to meet?”

Xiu patted her back saying, ”I'm not difficult to meet, your attention had only been on Dylan lately.”

Cali pursed her lips and didn't say anything to her.

”Why are you always late, Hedi?”

The three of them looked over at Ying who was scowling at Dylan.

”You're the last one to arrive.”

Dylan rubbed his nape as he said, ”That's because my girlfriend was having difficulty in choosing her dress.”
