620 Seduction Or Shamelessness (1/2)

Han Bohai didn't know what to say, he just stood still staring at Nora's face with a sad smile. The male version of Xiu? He didn't mind that at all. If that could make people remember his sister Xiu, he really didn't mind. But he knew Nora wasn't talking about his sister Xiu, and yet it made him feel happy.

”If I didn't know better, I'd think you're somehow related to my best friend.” Nora was still very excited. ”This level of shamelessness and illogical logics are completely in sync with her character. And even the ambition and resolve to do whatever comes to mind without thinking twice. Along with that single-minded love line. Everything matched perfectly!” She leaned closer as she asked, ”Don't tell me she gave you private lessons.”

”Private lessons?” repeated Han Bohai doubtfully.

”Yes! Because I always thought my Xiu is one of a kind. There can't possibly be another girl out there like her. Well, I was right to some extent since you're not a girl.” Nora tapped her chin, ”My best bet is that she gave you private lessons.”

”Ah! Now I get it,” Dylan also chimed in. ”No wonder you easily hoodwinked our Ying Jie, you learned from the best.”

Nora glared at Dylan, ”Are you calling my girlfriend, hoodwink?”

”Isn't she one? She tricked my best friend into dating her, just like he tricked Ying Jie.”

”It takes two to tango bro. It's not like Xiu tied Darren up to make him date her. It was completely mutual and the same goes for these two. If they are willing to give dating another chance, it means that they found something in the other person that's worthy of their time and effort.”

”Wow! My girlfriend is getting smarter,” praised Ah-Si and Nora smiled gratefully at him.

”Well, she is the mother of a baby girl, it's about time for her to get smarter.”

”Xiu is absolutely right about you Dylan. You're always itching for a beating!”

Dylan stuck his tongue out at her and didn't bother saying anything. While they were busy arguing, Han Bohai's mind had long drifted off to another place.

'Xiao... Xiao... Xiao... Xiao Han!' The silky smooth but soft voice was still gentle as always but now, it had a certain allure to it as the words came out slightly slurred.

'Yes?' Very accustomed to this situation, he calmly replied while cleaning the mess of wine bottles that were lying at her feet.

'If you ever fall in love, remember to hold that person tight. Don't ever think twice. If your heart says so, just do it! No question and no doubts. Because once you let the questions and doubt get to you, everything slips away from your hands.' Even though she was tipsy, her words showed her firm stance.

He frowned, 'Are you still thinking about Zhou Jinhai? Didn't you say you won't ever think about him?'

He was shocked but he didn't want to say anything. He was that one person who had heard about this first love. Although he didn't know that person, he wasn't blind. He had also known that some peculiar gifts like that huge billboard birthday ad were done by that man. He also knew that even his sister Xiu wasn't sure about this person's identity and for some reason, she tried not to find his identity either. He was like her safe haven in a virtual world, she didn't want to bring him into the chaos of her reality.

'And how would I know if I'm in love?' he retorted impatiently trying to sound like he didn't even hear her lamenting.

'That's simple.'

'Don't say my heart will start beating loudly because my heart feels like it's about burst whenever you get into your character to practice the lines with me. So, I certainly don't believe in that logic.'

'Good brother, we are on the same page. I also don't believe in that logic. But I do believe that when you love someone, they bring a strange peace to your mind, heart, and soul. A single smile that reminds you of a warm summer day. A simple hug that makes you feel safe and at home. Love isn't the name of turbulent feelings, love is the name of inner peace and joy.'

'Sister Xiu, people don't find such love these days.'
