Chapter 820 - I Am Chen Xiu (1/2)
Ah-Si didn't take long before stating honestly, ”Actually I heard you both talking at the wedding. And since then I had been bothered by a lot of things. As for what those things are, I don't think I need to tell you both.”
Hearing his words, Xiu looked at Darren and smiled sheepishly, ”I should have checked the surroundings before babbling so much nonsense.”
”Were you in the condition to check your surroundings?” retorted Darren. He still couldn't get the image of her trembling in his arms out of his mind. He had never seen her looking so vulnerable before. And seeing her in that condition, even he forgot that they were not home. He should have been attentive. He looked at Ah-Si and asked, ”You heard all of it?”
Ah-Si nodded his head, ”I heard all of it.”
”How much of it did you believe?” asked Darren.
”That's the tricky part here,” said Ah-Si. ”I'm not sure what to believe and what not to believe. And that dilemma is currently bothering me.”
Darren pressed his lips together and looked at Xiu. She thought about it before saying, ”I'm sorry!”
”For what?” Ah-Si raised his brows in question.
”For what you heard,” replied Xiu. ”And how it's affecting you as well.” She tried to laugh it off by saying, ”But you're really overthinking things. I was just talking nonsense.”
”Which part?” questioned Ah-Si. ”The part about how Chen Xiu died or the part about how you're Chen Xiu.”
Xiu thoughtfully said, ”Both?”
”How strange though what you said about Chen Xiu's death had already been confirmed,” said Ah-Si. ”Now I wonder if I should believe the other bizarre occurrence as well or not.”
”Definitely not,” stressed Xiu. ”There is no reason to believe in that. How can things like reincarnation be real? Be practical, Ah-Si!”
”Oh?” responded Ah-Si while Darren stayed quiet. ”Then what were you talking about back then?”
”Actually,” Xiu tried to look for the right words before saying, ”Oh, yes! It was a script I'm writing.”
”When did you turn into a scriptwriter?” asked Ah-Si.
”Why can't I be a scriptwriter? I'm a film maniac! I love watching movies. That's how I developed the passion for writing as well.”
Ah-Si silently stared at her face for a long while before asking, ”Why are you lying to me?”
”Hey! Why do you think I'm lying?” retorted Xiu. ”Isn't script writing more believable than reincarnation stuff?”
”It depends on who is saying it,” said Ah-Si. ”You don't sound very believable right now.”
”Ah-Si,” Darren called out. ”Stay out of this matter.”
”Why?”
