Chapter 833 - Big Show (1/2)
When the phone call with Xiao Li ended, Darren looked at Xiu and asked, ”Do you want me to do anything else?”
Xiu shook her head, ”Let's give Li bro a chance to shine now.”
”You really have faith in him?” inquired Darren curiously.
”I should trust my brother,” came Xiu's plain reply.
After that Darren didn't bring this topic up at all. They had done their part and now the rest was left on Xiao Li. In fact, Xiao Li didn't have much left to do at this point. He had already managed to crumble Liu Nuan. Now, it was time to leave this crumbled Liu Nuan in the cold weather under the eyes of the whole world!
”Hi, Xixi!” greeted Xiu as soon as Su Xixi walked inside the room.
Lately, Xiu had noticed how Su Xixi liked to visit her almost every day. She'd come and spend just 15 minutes with her before leaving. However, in those fifteen minutes, she usually didn't talk much. She had only come to spend time around Xiu and observe her intently.
In fact, Su Xixi didn't even know why she did something so out of character. But the more she saw Xiu, the more she wished to spend time with her. There was something eyecatching about Xiu's personality and something extremely familiar as well.
During this whole week, not even once did Xiu called her 'Aunt'. She always called her, 'Xixi'. It was as if they belonged to the same age group. But to be honest, Su Xixi often didn't feel like Xiu was young except for when she acted cute with the ones she loved. On other occasions, she could bet that Xiu was like a wise soul that was stuck in a young body.
”How are you feeling today?” asked Su Xixi. This was the same question Xiu had been hearing for a week now. It was always the same question.
”Today, I'm feeling beyond joy. Do you have a right word for it?” retorted Xiu as she looked at Su Xixi.
”Exuberant?” suggested Su Xixi.
”Oh, I like that one,” said Xiu before offering her a bright smile in return.
”Why do I feel like you've become fond of my wife?” asked Darren.
”Isn't everyone fond of your wife around here?” questioned Su Xixi. ”Is it surprising that I'm becoming fond of her as well?”
”Actually, it's not surprising at all,” said Darren. ”My Sweets have her ways to find her way into someone's heart.”
”Is that how she found her way to your heart?”
Darren smiled at her, ”More like, she kicked open the door of my heart forcefully.”
Xiu pinched Darren's stomach before she said, ”How did I force my way in?”
”Aren't you the tyrannical one here?” questioned Darren with a smirk. ”You forced a kiss on me when you're drunk!”
”I asked you out in a proper way!” Xiu shot back. ”If I had waited for you, I'd still be getting drunk and wreaking havoc!” She looked at him with contempt, ”You're drowning in sorrow, it's me who pulled you out!”
”The who pushed me under the water was also you, darling!” he said knowingly.
”When did I say it wasn't me?” she pouted at him. ”But I also did my part by saving you as well. So, don't blame me again.”
Looking at their banter, Su Xixi couldn't help laughing out in an unrestrained way. Hearing that laughter, Xin Zimen couldn't help stepping inside the room. He was so taken aback by seeing Su Xixi laughing before his eyes.
”What made this block of ice laugh like that?” he asked out loud.
Su Xixi looked at him and went up to him, placing her hand on his shoulder, she said, ”Zimen, these two... They are just like you and Ai. It's so funny.”
Hearing just this much, Xin Zimen figured out why Su Xixi was laughing like that. There were quite a few similarities between his relationship with Wen Ai and Xiu's relationship with Darren. In both cases, the ones who took the initiative to start the relationship were the female counterparts.
Both Su Xixi and Xin Zimen shared a look while Xiu whispered to Darren, ”Why do I feel like we did something wrong?”
