248 Height Of Folly!
Sitting in the sa cell, Xiu and Dylan were lost in their own thoughts.
"You can call soone to co for your bail," ca an officer's voice.
Both Xiu and Dylan looked at each other. "Who should we call?" asked Xiu.
"I really want to call Dazi but sohow, I feel safer inside this jail," replied Dylan while a shiver ran through his spine at the thought of Darren's reaction. He still rembered how angry Darren was when he and Xiu were in jail for the first ti. This ti... Sigh! GOD might have to co down to save him from the wrath of his best friend.
"Oddly, I share the very sa idea," added Xiu as well. She wasn't scared of Darren for the sa reason. In fact, she was more worried that he'd be disappointed in her. Not only for being in jail but also for drinking so much. She ruffled her own hair as she cursed herself for drinking without thinking. The original plan was to take a drink to two, just enough to make herself talk to Dylan about Chen Xiu.
Who knew, she wouldn't be able to stop after those first two drinks?
Officer looked at their reaction and said, "Suit yourself. Let know when you decide to call soone."
As the lady officer was about to turn, Xiu stopped her from behind saying, "Officer..." She read her na tag and went on, "Officer Gu, how about you let us leave? I'll make you laugh and in exchange you let us go, okay?" The lady officer narrowed her eyes at Xiu while Xiu went on, "Do you know what's the height of folly?" The lady officer shook her head, Xiu turned to Dylan and asked, "Didi, what's your height?"
Dylan stood up as he glared at her, "Did you just call foolish?"
Xiu shook her head saying, "Nope, I called you the epito of foolishness!"
Dylan was about to scream at her when they heard the lady officer laughing at both of them. Xiu smiled seeing that and said, "See, I made you laugh. Can we leave now?"
"I never agreed for that," replied the lady officer before walking away.
"How an!" said Xiu behind her and sat back in silence. "I can call Nora but she's gonna create a huge issue. Gosh! I have no one else to call. No wonder Nora asks to make so friends."
"How do you know so much about Chen Xiu?" asked Dylan, not even caring where they were. He would go crazy if she didn't answer. He didn't know what answer he was expecting but he needed one for sure.
Xiu tilted her head, stared at his pale and anxious face as she answered, "If I said, I know all this because I am Chen Xiu, would you be able to believe ?"
Dylan was stunned for a mont. Will he be able to believe her? He didn't know but if she did say, she's Chen Xiu, a lot of things would make sense. Especially, the secrets that Xiu earlier talked about. But if everything made sense then why was he hesitating in believing her. Was it really hesitation? Or was he so fascinated by the idea that he thought he'd stop breathing any minute?
When Dylan beca silent, she mumbled, "Darren said you'd believe ."
"Is that why you asked about reincarnation?" ca Dylan's question. Xiu looked at him and blinked her eyes before nodding. "You sound like a crazy person." Xiu narrowed her eyes at him dangerously while he went on, "But then again, I knew you're crazy since the day we t."
Xiu knew what he was going through. Any sane person would be having doubts and questions about this abnormality or miracle of life. Whichever one would like to call it. It was an abnormality for her at first as well but now, it was the real miracle of her life. If it took her so long to accept it, how could she question others?
She rubbed Dylan's head and said, "Can we think about getting out of here?" Dylan also straightened up and contemplated. "Should I sing for them? Maybe they'd let us leave?"
Hearing Xiu's eccentric idea, Dylan shook his head at her, "I don't think that'd work. We have to call soone here."
As he stared at Xiu, she raised her hands in as if giving up as she said, "Bro, I am an orphan. Who do you expect to call? Call your mother, she'd definitely co."
"Oh, she'll co and then I'll be grounded for life," said Dylan while making a slitting throat gesture with his thumb.
"Huh? She can still ground you?" Xiu was surprised to hear that. She found Zhao Wei to be a very lovely lady, so she wasn't able to digest Dylan's words.
"Dear assistant, Zhao Wei can do anything and everything. No one and I an, no one can stop her. My mother is that kind of person, so I don't want to be at the rcy of hers. Let's think of sothing else."
Xiu scrunched up her face and went up to the bars as she called for the officer to get her attention and said, "Hey! Officer Gu, can't I bail Didi out? While Didi can bail out? What do you say? We don't have to bother anyone at this ti of the night. It's a win-win situation."
Officer Gu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was her first ti hearing such a weird suggestion in her entire career. "You both are behind bars. So, no!"
"Law shouldn't be this straightforward. Sotis, you should bend it with the flow," said Xiu without thinking while Officer Gu stared at her, Dylan shut her mouth with his hand and pulled her back.
"You'll get us in more trouble. Just stay quiet and let think!"
"Are you gonna call your sister then?" asked Xiu excitedly.
Dylan looked at her strangely as he said, "So that she can beat again like last ti? No, thank you very much!"
Xiu's excitent died down as she said, "Then what are we gonna do?"
Dylan ran his brain to think of anyone to call and realized that just like Xiu, he also was very short of friends. Wow, they had sothing in common. It wasn't that the idea of Xiu being Chen Xiu had left his mind, he was just trying to avoid thinking about that matter for the ti being. The most important thing, for now, was to get out of jail.
He abruptly stood up and shouted, "Officer, I'd like to call soone!"Please go to
