654 Really Just A Fool (1/2)

”What do you want Jackie?”

Nora looked at her little brother who didn't look very happy. But then again, she was way too used to this expression of his. She thought it'd be weird if she saw him laughing and playing around like normal kids of his age.

”Change your seat,” was all Jackie said with a straight face.

”Why?” retorted Nora even though she knew the answer herself.

”Because I want to sit between both my sisters.”

Nora's lips rose a little and she wanted to squish this brother of hers but she knew if she tried to do that here, he'd definitely create a scene. So, she held back her urges. Besides, she could squish him at home since their parents weren't home and he won't have anyone to run to. Even the thought was very pleasing.

So, as she was feeling very pleasant inside with her daydreaming, Nora obediently shifted her seat and allowed Jackie to sit between herself and Xiu. The little man looked very happy with this arrangement.

”Where is your tail?” asked Xiu which earned a glare from Nora. So, she rephrased, ”I mean where is your dearest niece?”

”Her dad took her,” was the only answer Jackie gave. He never liked talking much so his lack of explanation was very much aligned with his character.

”Your brother is really adorable,” Cali chimed in as she smiled at Jackie.

Nora looked at her brother then looked at Cali before asking, ”You need an eye doctor.”

”Don't pay attention to Nora,” Xiu also joined in. ”She is just jealous of our Jackie. He is so perfect after all.”

”Me and jealous of him? Never!” retorted Nora but Xiu definitely wasn't gonna believe her.

”Xiu, isn't Ying coming?” asked Cali when she noticed how the ceremony was about to start. ”I haven't seen her around.”

”I'm wondering the same thing,” said Xiu as she looked towards the stage, and seeing Xin Zimen beside Xiao Li, she frowned. ”Hold on!” she turned her head towards her husband asking, ”Don't tell me that foolish brother Li actually chose Ah-Xin as his best man?”

Darren nodded his head saying, ”If it comes to honor the most important person in your life, don't you think Uncle Zi rightfully should be there?”

Xiu thought about something and smiled softly. ”Ah-Xin didn't even tell me anything.”

”He didn't know,” answered Darren for her. ”He was just told that he is playing the role of the best man.”

”Huh?”

Xiu shook her head, ”Li bro sure loves to play the hide and seek game.”

”That he sure does,” Darren agreed.
