613 Health Check-Up (2/2)

Xin Zimen wiped his mouth with the napkin and asked, ”We have a business to discuss?”

”Of course!” Xiu slapped the table but ended up rubbing her own hand that hurt. ”I came just for that business.”

”And here I thought you came because you're worried about my health.”

Seeing his hurtful look, Xiu wasn't convinced as she extended her hand over the table to reach over and pinch his cheek saying, ”I'm still talking about your health!”

Xin Zimen who wasn't very familiar with this strange feeling of having his cheeks pinched was staring at her wide-eyed. He looked at Darren while rubbing his cheek as he asked, ”When she can't show her anger in any other way, is this what she does to you as well?”

Darren shook his head and holding back his laughter he replied, ”She bites me.”

Xin Zimen's face twitched at that reply. ”So, you're saying... She is really like a kitten; one who only knows how to scratch and bite. How cute!”

Darren laughed along with Xin Zimen but stopped as soon as he heard the 'thud' sound. They both looked over and noticed the way Xiu had placed the glass down on the table loudly and now was leaning back in her chair with her arms crossed over her chest. Her eyes dangerously moved from one person to the other.

”This kitten has sharp claws as well, don't test her.”

They both decided to stop laughing and gave her enough time to calm down.

”Moving on... Ah-Xin, you're going for a full body checkup tomorrow. Add that to your schedule. Don't say I didn't tell you beforehand. No excuses will work.”

Xin Zimen stayed quiet for a moment. ”But I have to go to work tomorrow.”

”It's alright. We can go early in the morning.” She immediately shook her head. ”No, scratch that! We'll go in the evening. I have to sleep in the morning.”

”I thought people sleep at night.”

”I sleep at night and I sleep in the morning, any issue with that?”

Xin Zimen pressed his lips together, ”Nope. How can I?” Then he took a pause and added, ”But I'm really fine. I don't need that check-up. I know you're worried about me and I'm very happy to know that as well. But I'm completely healthy now.”

Xiu fixed her eyes on his face and when he didn't waver, she smirked, ”Then let me rephrase it. I have to go for a full-body check-up and since I don't really fancy hospitals, I'd like to have some company.”
