Chapter 999 - Dawdling (1/2)

”I tried on a dress from last year and it didn't fit me,” lamented Nora as she walked back towards their camp with Xiu. She wasn't even that old and she usually did maintain her figure, yet she couldn't fit into the dress she bought just last year. It really was a huge blow to her.

Xiu tsked at her, ”Poor you! I tried on something five-year-old and it still fits perfectly!”

Nora looked at Xiu's bragging and narrowed her eyes suspiciously, ”Really?”

”Really!”

”What is it?”

”A scarf!”

Nora's lips twitched her reply and she felt like beating Xiu a little. Seeing how Xiu had burst out laughing, her wish to beat her up intensified. She just couldn't help it, she raised her hand to hit but Xiu ran away. She ran to her tent and zipped up the entrance. Soon, she pulled down the zipper to make a small opening for her mouth from where she stuck out her tongue at Nora.

Nora sighed out and shook her head. See? These acts were the reason she couldn't bring herself to believe that Xiu and Destiny were the same people. Xiu had a playful and wild personality while Destiny had a restrained but gloomy personality.

Nora looked heavenwards as she muttered, ”I hope you're doing well wherever you are.” It was a fact that she would never forget about Destiny in her heart. She was Nora's first best friend. Xiu ended up becoming her only sister instead. They both had their own place in her heart and life.

”Sweets, what are you doing so late at night?” questioned Darren in a lazy voice as he yawned.

Xiu turned around to see that Darren was also inside the tent and she was surprised. She thought he'd still be with the kids but it seemed she was wrong. Soon, her lips stretched into a big smile and like a cat, she crawled over to Darren's side.

Throwing her body on his, she said, ”It's not that late.”

Darren had instinctively wrapped his arm around her waist to support her body and smiled when he noticed how her nose was rubbing against the side of his neck. Even her whole body was squirming above her, making it very dangerous. She was doing it on purpose and even an idiot could tell that.

Darren pinched her waist making her yelp, ”Stop seducing me.”

Xiu gave him an aggrieved look with her eyes turning glossy as if they had just been washed with tears. ”How can you do that to me? Are you already tired of me?”

Darren chuckled at her, ”I can't even get enough of you and you're telling me, I'm tired of you? What nonsense!”

Xiu pouted at him, ”Then why did you stop me?”

”Isn't it because I had to remind you of where we are,” Darren gestured around them with his eyes as if reminding her that were out camping and they were definitely not alone. The others were also nearby.
