157 Orange
Watching Xiu walking in circles for five whole minutes, Bai Xiu was feeling dizzy. As for Xiu, she finally managed to wake her sleeping brain slightly. "Wait, now that my brain is functioning again, I just realized sothing." Bai Xiu looked at her inquisitively while Xiu elaborated, "This is not who I am. I've never flirted with anyone in my life."
"Isn't that the whole point of tonight?" asked Bai Xiu.
"What do you an?"
"You've been ignoring soone's call for a while now. That ans older sister, you're running from sothing like . And my opinion is that... You're actually trying to avoid facing the person who you really are." She took an unnecessary pause before adding, "Honestly, there is nothing wrong in being wild once in a while."
Xiu didn't find anything wrong with her words which made her even more confused since she hadn't t the girl for too long. "I should just stop thinking," said Xiu to herself and pocketed her phone before walking in the direction of her target.
However, when she ca close to her said target's prior location, she realized that he was missing. She scrunched up her face in confusion and looked at the only person who sat at that table with her 'target'.
"Hey, orange! Where is the green bean?"
Dylan narrowed his eyes at her as he tried to contemplate her words. He looked around to see whether she was really addressing him or not. Xiu rolled her eyes and said, "I am talking to you. Who else looks like an orange here?"
Dylan gaped at her before saying, "Orange? From which angle do I look like an orange?"
"You're wearing an orange knitted sweater and even your shoe match," she took a mont to look him up and down before adding, "Besides, your face is also like orange."
Dylan stood up from his chair and gritted through his teeth, "Miss, are you looking for a fight here?"
Since he stood up, Xiu sat down on the chair beside his and rubbed her temples saying, "Not looking for a fight. I just told you, orange that I'm looking for that green bean."
"Who is the green bean?" asked Dylan with his clenched fists.
Forgetting all about manners or stuff, Xiu took roasted chestnuts from the table and started munching on them. "That guy in a green jacket who was here with you. I'm looking for him."
Dylan's face tilted to a side as realization dawned on him. "Ohhh..." he languidly took back his seat and crossed his one leg over the other. "You're looking for my best friend? Interesting."
"Slow-poke, if you finally understood, let know where he is," urged Xiu again impatiently.
"He went to the restroom," answered Dylan with amusent dancing in his eyes.
"Got it," Xiu stood up to walk towards the restroom. Dylan's brows were raised when she silently went in the direction of the restroom. He wanted to remind her that his best friend would be in 'n's restroom' but considering how she called him 'orange', he decided against it.
"So embarrassnt might do her so good," was his personal opinion and he was actually very pleased with that too.
On the other hand, Xiu was gonna enter the n's restroom without thinking but luckily, her ringtone stopped her right when her hand touched the handle of the door. With an exasperated sigh, she picked up the call and almost shouted, "Han Bohai, if you didn't stop calling, I'll turn this phone off as well."
"Sister Xiu, at least let know that you're safe and you're being responsible," asked her assistant in a concerned voice.
"Xiao Han, I'm Chen Xiu. Of course, I'm responsible," replied Xiu.
"So you aren't drinking?" he asked uncertainly.
Xiu snorted in reply, "Nice joke."
He sighed out, "If you're drinking then you're definitely not being responsible."
"My drinking has nothing to do with being responsible. Besides, I'm in complete disguise right now which ans even you won't recognize if you're here. And that ans if I won't have any embarrassing photos, your job will be saved. Isn't that being responsible? I'm even being thoughtful for your sake." He wanted to remind her that her health was her top responsibility but she didn't give him a chance as she added, "Now, stop talking. When I'll feel like coming back to my cage, I'll let you know."
After talking to Han Bohai for a good few minutes, Xiu finally noticed that she was standing before n's restroom. Her face twisted when she thought of Dylan.
Marching back to Dylan's table, she knocked on his head with her fist from behind making Dylan spew out his drink. "What the hell? Have you lost your mind?" he exclaid at her while taking a napkin to wipe his face and sweater.
"Orange, you actually dared to play a joke on ?"
"When did I?" retorted Dylan before adding, "It's common sense that if you're a girl, you can't enter a n's lavatory. Was I supposed to remind you even that common sense?" He had a smile on his lips as if provoking her on purpose.
"Oh, my goodness! I just realized..." she leaned close to his face making him lean backward as she said, "There are seven billion people in the world, and yet I found your smile the worst."
Using his finger, he touched her forehead and pushed her back saying, "Haha... It wasn't funny at all."
"With a face like yours, bro you don't need another joke in life," said Xiu as she sat down without asking him yet again.
"Did you just insult my looks?" asked Dylan glaring at her hatefully.
Xiu shrugged her shoulders and picked up an unopened can of beer. As she opened the can and took a sip, she noticed Dylan's weird gaze and said, "Relax, I'll pay for the drink. As for your looks... I don't have to insult. After all, your face is enough to mock you every morning. Tsk. Tsk. So, tell whenever you look in the mirror, is it a tragic show or a cody show?"
Dylan was at his wits' end now. He took deep calming breaths before opening his mouth to say, "Gosh! How I wish I could punch you!"
"Why don't you?" asked Xiu.
"Because you're a girl and I can't touch you," replied Dylan without thinking at all. "Besides, my mom says that I can't treat the people in the sa way that they treat . It's degrading for myself and I have values. And I very much value my values. Apart from that, you're pretty drunk and I'm not as petty to hold your insults against you while you're not even in your right mind..."
While Dylan was talking on and on, Xiu had lost him long ago since her attention was on the beer cans before her. How much she had drunk in the last twelve hours, only she knew. It was like she was scared of being sober as if she'd have to face sothing she didn't want to.Please go to
