Chapter 911 - A Practical Gift (1/2)

Only after they were done eating did Nora bring out the stuff for the next game she had planned. She put the baby photos of everyone on the table and made Xiu and Darren guess who was who.

Xiu pulled out two pictures from the pile instantly as she excitedly said, ”I know these two.” She pointed at the picture with the baby who had grey eyes and grinned, ”That's my Baobei. I can never forget these eyes.” Then she pointed at the other picture and looked over at Jackie, ”And this is our Jackson Jing. How can I not recognize him? He grew up before my eyes.”

”Grew up before your eyes?” repeated Clara. ”More like he grew up in your arms.”

Xiu smiled sheepishly while a few brothers around her felt sour when they heard that. Adding on the fact that she actually picked out Jackie's picture first, every single brother had a complicated feeling.

Xiu was happily oblivious to it all as she rummaged through the rest of the photos. Darren also picked one picture and put it beside his mother's face, ”This one is Mama's picture.”

Francesca smiled at him, ”Anyone can see that. Besides you, only I have that eye color around here.”

Darren grinned at her. Then Xiu took another two photos and placed them side by side with a complicated look in her eyes.

”Got stuck, little lass?” inquired Xin Zimen.

Xiu looked at him and answered, ”I can tell that these pictures are of Ah-Xin and Father. But I can't seem to tell who is who.” She really couldn't tell them apart. In their childhood, their faces held an even more striking resemblance than they did now. They really seemed like they were made from the same mold. Xiu was really confused.

And for this sole reason, it took her a while before she concluded, ”The one with a smile on his face is Ah-Xin and the one with the serious expression is Father.”

Both Xin Zemin and Xin Zimen were surprised when she got it wrong. After all, if one judged from how they acted now, they would definitely mix them up. Since now, it was Xin Zimen who always had a serious look on his face and it was Xin Zemin who liked to smile gently. But it was the other way around when they were young.

Since Xin Zemin had the responsibility of being the eldest son of the Xin family, he was always serious. Meanwhile, Xin Zimen was a little carefree when he was young. He only knew how to smile while admiring his elder brother.

Xin Zemin pinched Xiu's cheek saying, ”It seems my daughter is quite smart.”

Xiu gave them a proud look. No matter how similar they looked, she'd still be able to tell them apart. Just like this, Darren and Xiu guessed everyone's baby pictures but when it came to the last one, Xiu was left staring at it for a long time. She couldn't recognize it at all.

”Who is this?” she finally voiced out and noticed how everyone was giving her some odd looks now. The baby girl in the photo was about 2 or 3 years old. She really couldn't tell who she was.

Darren knocked on her head lightly before saying, ”Sweets, that's you.”

Xiu's mouth opened wide as she continued to stare at the picture. Oh, please! Just because she accepted the fact that she was Destiny and Xiu both, she couldn't really recognize Destiny's childhood pictures just because she occupied this body. Besides, who would even remember what they looked like when they were 3? Unless they had some childhood pictures.

But Xiu had none of Destiny's photos. Neither from her childhood nor from the later years. It was as if Destiny didn't want to leave a mark of herself behind. All the more reason, Xiu didn't expect to see this photo here.

”I can't believe you didn't even recognize yourself,” said Ying while shaking her head at Xiu.

Xiu wasn't even embarrassed as she asked, ”I thought I had no childhood photos, where did this come from?”

”Cali found it,” replied Nora.

Xiu looked over at Cali who nodded her head, ”I found it at home. This was the only picture there but it's still better than nothing.”

Xiu held the photo tightly as she asked, ”Can I have it?”

Cali shrugged her shoulders, ”Of course, you can. It's yours anyway.”

”Thanks!” said Xiu softly as she looked at the photo again. This was the only photo of Destiny. She wanted to keep it safe. This was the only photo where not only the body of Destiny was present but even the soul seen through those eyes was also Destiny's. It was really a precious photo to her.

”Shall we open gifts now?” suggested Cali.

Xiu put the photo safely by her side and nodded her head, ”Let's do it.” With sparkling eyes, Xiu opened the gifts. Looking at the knitted sweater in her hands, she looked at Clara.

”Don't look at me like that. I knit it myself.”
