Chapter 908 - Follow Your Lead (1/2)
”You're late,” said Darren as he looked at Dylan who was swaggering his way in. ”Your girlfriend is already gone.”
Dylan plopped down beside Darren, ”Girlfriend? Cali was here?”
Darren put down the book in his hand to look at his best friend, ”Didi, do you have any other girlfriend?” Before Dylan could say anything, Darren gasped dramatically, ”Are you going back to your old ways? Tsk! Tsk! Indeed, a playboy can't stop playing, eh? Poor Cali! But I'm warning you, before your girlfriend, Calista is a precious friend to me. You play with her, I'm gonna break your jaw!”
Dylan continued to stare at Darren's face before he shook his head, ”Dazi, take my free advice. Stop spending so much time with your wife. She is rubbing off on you in a very bad way.”
Darren slapped the back of his head, ”How many times do I have to warn you to stop talking about my wife in this way?”
”I'm talking about my cousin, what can you do about it?” retorted Dylan proudly.
Darren threw him a scornful look before he shook his head, ”Anyway, I thought you won't be coming today. Since you said you'd be here earlier than this. Didn't you want to spend some time with Cali?”
Dylan sighed out, ”Girls are busy with the surprise. I am not allowed to join.”
”Aww! Poor you!”
Dylan glared at his best friend, ”You can stop teasing me.”
Darren chuckled at him and asked, ”So, how is it going?”
”What?”
”This whole long-distance relationship,” elaborated Darren. ”How are you holding up?”
Dylan took a moment before replying, ”As much as I'd love to see her every day, I don't think this long-distance relationship is that bad though. Although I can't hold her every day, however, whenever we get to see each other after days, the passion is ignited to a new height.”
Darren put his hand on his mouth saying, ”Didi, you better continue with the details. I really have no interest in learning about two of my great friends' passion for each other.”
”How boring!” muttered Dylan. Then his eyes fell on the book that Darren was reading and he smirked, ”Well, now I know why you're so boring. You and I are in two different leagues now. You're gonna be a father now. I'm still a bachelor who can enjoy his days with his girlfriend full of passion and love.” He tsked at Darren as he continued, ”But look at you now. Here you're reading books on parenting. And just last year, you're reading books on emotional developments. Just how fast the night changes, eh!”
Darren rolled his eyes at Dylan, ”You better pray I don't catch you with a book on parenting. Or else, I'll roast you for life!”
Dylan stuck his tongue out at Darren, ”Don't worry. You won't see me with a book like this.”
”We'll see!” retorted Darren. Taking a pause he added, ”By the way, you didn't tell me, what took you so long to get here?”
Dylan hesitated a little before answering honestly, ”I went to see Sister Meihui.”
Darren paused a little but didn't comment over this.
Seeing his expression, Dylan pursed his lips and didn't continue.
Darren actually didn't mind Dylan going to see Qiu Meihui. After all, both were siblings. He couldn't possibly stop Dylan from keeping in contact with his sister just because of what she did to him. Just like how he couldn't stop talking to Dylan just because of what his sister did. It was all the same. His relationship currently was with Dylan and it had always been precious. He wouldn't compromise on this friendship for anything.
What Dylan did with his personal time was completely up to him. He had no right to dictate his life for him.
”Oh, I did the task you told me to,” said Dylan after an awkward moment of silence. ”And don't worry, I'll pick the parcel right on time.”
”Do you think she'll like it?”
Dylan gave him a look, ”Dazi, your wife will like anything as long as it comes from you. Stop worrying about such a nonsensical thing. In fact, Xiu can fly up to heaven just knowing that you did something for her. She is so easy to please.”
Darren pursed his lips and nodded, ”You're right. She really gets satisfied easily. Even if it doesn't seem like it. But I still want to give her the best of the best.”
”Isn't it enough that she has the best of the best husband?” retorted Dylan.
”Sometimes, it's really difficult to have a proper conversation with you, Didi.”
”Blame it on your wife. She ruined me completely with her sarcasm.” He took a pause and added, ”Yesterday, I called her fat. Do you know what she said to me?”
”What?”
”She reminded me that now she has a back garden, I should be careful with my words!” Dylan looked exasperated. ”Can you believe it? She still wants to bury me in her back garden! That's a blatant threat!”
”Who asked you to call her fat?” retorted Darren in displeasure.
”Because she is fat now,” answered Dylan in a matter-of-factly manner.
”Try calling your girlfriend fat, then I'll see how you survive,” said Darren.
