Chapter 998 - Making Friends (2/2)
Nora knocked on her head, ”Okay, I'm messing with you. Don't you dare cry! It doesn't suit you at all. You look ugly when you cry.”
”So do you!”
Nora's shoulder shook with her laughter as she said, ”When did I say I shed pretty tears? I'm the ugliest crier around here. But you're no better!”
Xiu pouted at her.
”Thank you for not pushing me away even after you realized the truth,” said Xiu.
Nora wiped her face saying, ”How can I push you away? I can never bring myself to push you away, Xiu. Unknowingly, from the moment you entered my life, you were Xiu and not Destiny. Even I don't know why I always kept the two apart. But I did. You're always just Xiu to me. I never looked at you like Destiny. I just couldn't do it.”
”You're the best-est!”
”I'm not that great now,” Nora pretended to be a bit humble, facing this compliment again from Xiu.
”No, you are,” said Xiu. ”At least, to me, you're what I needed in my life. And that makes you perfect to me.”
Nora shook her head at Xiu, ”I also didn't know I needed a younger sister like you who actually bossed me around like my elder sister.”
”Well, actually, I am older than you,” said Xiu.
Nora straightened up, ”Your body is younger than mine.”
”But my soul is older than yours,” reminded Xiu.
”We don't follow things we can't see!”
Xiu laughed out, ”Even if I stay as the younger one between us, I'll still be the boss between us.”
”That's different!” said Nora. ”You can boss me around because I allowed you to do so.”
”That's true,” replied Xiu. ”You really let me do all sorts of crazy things.” She sighed out, ”I suddenly feel like having some wine tonight.”
Nora's face paled, ”No way! Not having any wine!”
Xiu looked at her horrified expression, ”I'm not that bad of a drinker.”
Nora rolled her eyes at her words, ”Darling, do you and I have some different kind of definition of a bad drinker? You're not easy to handle even when you're sober. Wine Xiu is a whole new level of disaster I am not ready to handle.”
Xiu tsked at her, ”Spoilsport! Don't you miss the fun Wine Xiu?”
”I don't!” was Nora's response. ”Even if I haven't seen her in years, I did not miss her even once!”
”Such a heartless person you are,” said Xiu. ”Do you know how many cupcakes Wine Xiu baked for you?”
”Yeah, so many that I had to give a box to each resident of our building to get rid of the mess she created!”
”It helped you in making friends,” argued Xiu weakly.
”Not like I needed that kind of help to make friends!”
And just like that, these two best friends drifted away from the topic of conversation that had been going on.. But both of them didn't really care since they didn't think they needed to say anything else.
