Chapter 819 - Blind Trust (2/2)
”I had my doubts,” replied Xiu. ”So, now that I believe you. Let me tell you the benefits of convincing me of your love. From now on, there'd be no curfews on your dates. You can bring her home as late as you want and it doesn't even matter if you didn't bring her home at all!”
”Wow!” Ah-Si acted surprised. ”What a tempting benefit! I should have tried to make you believe in my love earlier.”
”You should have,” agreed Xiu. Seeing him smiling, Xiu spoke again, ”Now that I'm done making you smile again, tell me. What brought you to us?”
Ah-Si paused as he looked at her face. ”Why? I can't come to see how you both are doing?”
”You left your sickbed to come and check up on us, I don't know whether to be grateful for that or call you dumb!” Xiu didn't beat around the bush as she added, ”You are not in the condition to be worried about us. So, tell me what really brought you here? You didn't come just for chitchat, did you?”
”Actually,” began Ah-Si. ”I do want to have a chitchat with you both. And it's an important matter as well.” He took a deep breath and went on, ”I spent my days thinking about this repeatedly. I've thought about it all for so long but I am not able to understand it at all. No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to come to terms with something.”
”What is it?” questioned Darren in a serious tone. ”What really is bothering you?”
Ah-Si pointed at Xiu and said, ”If I say she is the one bothering me, what would you say about that?”
Xiu frowned in confusion and Darren rubbed her head saying, ”If it's her then I can solve anything. Tell me, what about her is bothering you. I'll fix it. Whatever it is, I'll fix it.”
Ah-Si looked at Darren carefully as he asked, ”Do you believe in everything she says? Even if makes no sense?”
”Love begins with trust,” replied Darren. ”Or should I say, love is trust? So, I do believe in everything she says. Whether it makes sense or not, isn't my concern.”
”Where does this blind trust come from?” asked Ah-Si.
Darren looked at Xiu who smiled at him and said, ”He asked you a question. Give him an answer.”
”Earlier, my wife just told your girlfriend that love is blind. And I just told you love is trust. So, that means if love and trust are all the same, both are blind equally. If I can love her blindly, I can trust her blindly as well. Because I don't believe in doing things half-heartedly.” Darren took a pause and looked at Xiu lovingly, ”That is why I'm willing to believe everything she has to say. Because if I can't even believe in her, how can I believe in anything else?”
Xiu tsked at him, ”Sweet talker!” She rolled her eyes and sighed, ”Ah-Si, you're clearly not here to discuss why he believes in me. Why don't you just say what you really came here for?”
