Imperfect Desires

Chapter 842 - Should Reconcile

Ah-Si was shaking his head at Dylan's poor luck. Of all people, he had to test the patience of these two. Even he could say it would never end well to test Xiu and Nora's patience. These two had the weirdest ideas cooking their heads all the time. It'd be a surprise if these two weren't up to something.

After laughing in victory, Nora patted Xiu's shoulder, "I commend your courage!"

Xiu frowned at her, "What do you mean?"

"You locked your own husband in the room with another man! That takes some courage!" Xiu gritted her teeth as she glared at Nora who in turn stifled her laughter to add, "They are even all alone!"

"NORA!" roared Xiu as she ran after Nora while the latter ran away from her.

Ah-Si was baffled at the scene playing out before his eyes. These two acted more like kids than the kids in their house. He had looked after three kids recently and he could say that all three of those kids were more sensible than these two a.d.u.l.ts! Take Jackie for instance, he would always be quietly reading a book at the side while his adorable sister stayed by his side listening to him. As for Asteria, she liked to wait all day for Xiao Li. But none of them made a fuss.

Between those quiet kids, these a.d.u.l.ts were the cause of noise!

Xiu picked up a vase from the side and aimed it at Nora. "Xiu, put that done! It looks expensive."

"Do you think I care?" retorted Xiu. "Who told you to talk nonsense about my Baobei?"

"Okay, don't run! It's not good for the baby!" Nora tried to use another tactic.

"Then stop running away from me!" Xiu shouted back at her. And didn't stop chasing her, just like Nora didn't stop running away from her.

"Am I a fool? If I don't run, you'd kill me," said Nora as she threw a cushion at her which Xiu dodged easily.

"That's bound to happen!" Xiu didn't even deny it as picked the same cushion and smashed it on Nora's head.

"Think about it this way, when we first met Dylan, didn't he also assumed us to be a pair of lesbians?" It had been a long while and yet, Nora could still remember Dylan's stupid remark.

"That's different!" shouted Xiu. "You better come here or else, it'll get troublesome for your health!"

Nora weighed the pros and cons in her head before obediently coming to Xiu's side. With only one hand, just how much damage could Xiu do to her? But she clearly underestimated her best friend. Because instead of using violence, she resorted to tickling her. Nora's body squirmed like jelly and she was soon sprawled on the floor half-laughing and half-crying.

"I won't say it again! Stop it!" she kept trying to plead for mercy but Xiu didn't let her escape. Even when Nora tried to roll her body over, Xiu held her ankle and dragged her back.

Ah-Si was in dilemma about whether to laugh or cry at this sight. Because one thing was clear, he couldn't get involved even if he wanted to help his girlfriend, he couldn't. A boyfriend should always keep a distance from the matters of two girlfriends. Otherwise, the one to suffer would be him.

Nora finally held Xiu's hand. Transparent tears were hanging from the corner of her eyes. Her face had turned slightly red from rolling around and laughing so much. "Let's stop having fun. Don't we have better things to do?"

Hearing Nora's words, Xiu finally stopped messing around and both of them went back to the door which they had locked. Both of them put their ears against the door to try to make out the voices from inside.

"Eavesdropping is not a good habit," said Ah-Si from behind.

"Shhh..."

Ah-Si had to shut up again.

"Can you hear anything?" asked Nora.

"Nope," replied Xiu and focused as if by doing so she'd be able to hear something.

To be honest, she wasn't really interested in eavesdropping. She didn't need to know why Dylan had to say to Darren but she still did so. After all, she had nothing better to do for now. So, she thought she might as well just listen to how they reconcile. Because that mattered to her a lot.

"What are they doing?" Ah-Si almost jumped when he heard someone's voice from right beside him. He clutched his hand over his chest as he looked at the person who appeared.

"They are having fun," replied Ah-Si. "By eavesdropping on people."

"Oh..." responded the other person.

"Actually, they just push Dylan inside the room to reconcile with Darren," Ah-Si kept talking and didn't even notice the way the other person's face was twitching repeatedly. Whether it was because of his words or seeing Xiu's eagerness, that couldn't be said for now.

"Best friends should reconcile," said the other person in a heavy voice.

"That's why my Sister Xiu thinks as well," replied Ah-Si and the other person's face darkened instantly.

"Sister Xiu..." he drawled his words. "Really has a lot to say now, eh?"

"I think the soundproofing is too good," said Nora.

"Or maybe they hadn't said a single word yet," was Xiu's response.

However, which one of them was right couldn't be confirmed for now since they couldn't see what was exactly happening inside. But it was needless to say that both Nora and Xiu were itching to know about it all.

Suddenly, someone's fingers wrapped around Xiu's wrist, and before she could even look, she was dragged away to the room where she had been coming for therapy sessions. The door was locked and the lights turned around when she heard a familiar voice saying, "Instead of waiting for others to come clean, shouldn't you be focusing on coming clean yourself. Sister XIU!"

That emphasis on 'Sister Xiu' made Xiu stare at Han Bohai who was glaring at her right now.
