648 Cozy Picture (2/2)

Feeling someone's gaze, Xiao Li looked back at his aunt and smiled happily before excusing himself and weaving his way through to them. He was close to their table when he got intercepted by someone.

”Yo, Li bro! Who is the best man?!”

Xiu had run from her table to get him as soon as she saw him. The chocolate that Nora offered her was in her hand; half-eaten. She took another bite as she poked his chest, ”Go on!”

”We are still on that page?” asked Xiao Li in surprise.

”Yes!” exclaimed Xiu. ”I won't turn the page unless you fill in the blanks that you left for me! I don't do well with mysteries. In fact, I have come to hate mysteries. So, don't play the mind game and give me an answer.”

”Won't you know it in a bit?”

Xiu was exasperated, ”Are you trying to be difficult with me? I'm gonna go and get Ah-Xin.”

”Are you threatening me with my own dad's name?”

”Of course,” was Xiu's response and she didn't even feel embarrassed doing it. In fact, she was solemn with her decision.

Xiao Li tried to touch her head but she ducked away saying, ”Watch it! I spent quite a while on my hair.”

”Aren't you very touchy right now? Who spoiled your mood?” Xiao Li could perceive the change in her. It was actually quite obvious. She wasn't smiling like her usual self.

”If I tell you who spoiled my mood, what would you do?” Xiu threw the ball in his court.

”What do you want me to do?” Xiao Li also shot back by passing the hot potato back to her. ”I'd do exactly as you say.”

Xiu rubbed her hands saying, ”My ideas are always evil, do you really think you can follow my evil ideas on your big day?”

”For this little sister, I'd follow any evil idea on any given day.”

Xiu finally smiled softly at his response and said, ”Li bro, you... Forget it! I'll wait for your mystery 'best man'.” She even air quoted for emphasis. ”But if I didn't like this mystery guy, I'm throwing my hands down!”

Xiao Li lovingly hugged her shoulders saying, ”My dear sister, you'd love him. I promise. Have some faith in your brother.”

Xiu narrowed her eyes at him as she stared suspiciously at his face but chose to believe him. She had given benefit of the doubt to way too many people. Besides, she didn't doubt Xiao Li even for a second. So, she'd definitely choose to believe him.

”This cozy picture of brother and sister is looking beautiful!”

Xiu lifted her eyes and paused.
