Imperfect Desires 249 In My Tummy!

Xiu barely reacted when she heard that Dylan was gonna call someone for help. In fact, she was engrossed in playing with her fingers to the point that nothing else mattered to her. Dylan didn't pay any attention to her and dialed a number.

Just as the call was attended, he screamed for help, "Bro, save me!"

The person on the line frowned before saying, "Hedi, what game are you playing now?"

Dylan was really frustrated at how his words really didn't matter. But then again, he had a long history of doing these theatrics. It was not easy for anyone to believe him so easily. "Bro, I'm at the police station."

The person on the other end abruptly stood up as he questioned, "What? How? Why?" shaking his own head, he went on, "Forget all that. Give me the address, I'll be right there."

Dylan hurriedly told him the address and smiled to himself as he hung up the call. Just as he walked back inside the cell, he looked at Xiu sitting so calmly that it even surprised him. But thinking that she must be tired after all that running around that she did, he didn't comment on that. Instead, he sat down beside her and said, "Remind me to never be in a car alone with you. Whenever you're around me something goes wrong."

Xiu drew some symbols in the palm of her hand with the index finger of her other hand as she muttered to herself, "You're right. Things always go wrong around me."

Dylan didn't know what she said but seeing her so quiet he was not feeling as good as he thought he would. Apparently, he had been way too used to her talking all the time. She was either insulting him, taunting him, teasing him, bragging about her boyfriend around him or simply would just talk random nonsense. Now, she had a sad aura looming around her which scared him.

Dylan and Xiu didn't have to wait long before the gla.s.s door of the police station was pushed open and barged in a furious Xin Xiaosi with a very calm Xin Xiaoli striding behind him. Dylan immediately stood up as he saw the two of them. But mostly because he didn't expect to see Ah-Si. He had called Xiaoli but why did Ah-Si come along?

However, Dylan's question was answered soon enough as Ah-Si slapped the table with both his hands and glared at the officer. "Get. My. Brother. OUT. NOW!" said Ah-Si through gritted teeth. One could clearly see the aggression visible through his eyes. He was mad and even Dylan could tell that but seeing him like that only made Dylan smile like an idiot instead.

"You can't order me around here, Mister," said officer Gu as she met his furious gaze but couldn't help flinching a bit because of the intensity of his gaze.

Xin Xiaoli placed a hand on Ah-Si's shoulder and faced the officer with a polite smile, more like his business smile while he said, "Please excuse my brother's ignorance. Indeed, he can't order you around but..." he gave his phone to the officer saying, "The person on this call can."

Officer Gu furrowed her brows suspiciously before taking the cell phone from his hand. But as soon as she heard the voice from the other side, she was alert. Not only that, but her way of looking at both Xin brothers also changed drastically. "Yes, sir!" she replied to the Commissioner on the phone before pa.s.sing the phone back to Xin Xiaoli.

Ah-Si crossed his arms and stared at her saying, "Don't make me repeat myself."

Officer Gu gulped before asking her colleague to let both Dylan and Xiu go. And just as Dylan came out of the cell, he ran up to hug Ah-Si. "Ahh! Ah-Si, do you know how much I missed you?"

Ah-Si tried to peel his arms off of his neck but to no avail. "Hedi, we just met over the weekend."

Dylan shook his head, "No, that's not what I mean. It's been four years since the last time I have seen you being this protective of me. One day, you suddenly stopped talking to me and to this day, I'm only wondering what the h.e.l.l did I do wrong?"

Ah-Si pretended like he didn't know what Dylan was talking about. Suddenly, Dylan poked Ah-Si's cheek saying, "But I knew you still love me. Because Darren told me how you never stopped asking about me. You care but you just don't want to admit it. Right?"

"Can we have this discussion somewhere else?" said Ah-Si as he looked around himself to see the shock in every person's eyes. Why wouldn't they be shocked? Just a moment ago, he was looking like he was gonna tear everyone apart and now, he was being smothered by a giant baby. It was indeed embarra.s.sing.

"No, we have to talk now and right here," insisted Dylan while shaking his head. "If we went somewhere else, you'll again start ignoring me."

Ah-Si sighed heavily and opened his mouth to say something when someone cut him off. He heard a female voice coming from Dylan's back as she said, "Such a dramatic b.i.t.c.h you are, Didi!"

Dylan turned his head to glance at Xiu, "You're no better."

Only when Dylan turned did both Xin brothers realized that Xiu was also there. 

"Xiu? Why are you here?" asked Xin Xiaoli as he looked at Xiu with furrowed brows. It was his first time seeing her since the hospital escapade. He really wasn't expecting to see her at the police station.

"It's her fault that we are here," answered Dylan while Xiu was scratching her head sheepishly. Xiu slapped the back of his head and glared at him in a warning. "See! Violent as always!"

"You talk too much," said Xiu and completely disregarded Dylan as she walked up to Xin Xiaoli.

"I talk too much?" Dylan was left pointing at himself. It was like the pot was calling the kettle black. How could she be so think skinned? She was the one who always forced him to talk!

Meanwhile, Xiu looked at Xin Xiaoli sweetly as she waved at him adorably saying, "Hi, Li bro! Haven't seen you in a long while." Recalling something she said, "Wait, I can still call you brother right? Last time, you said I can call you brother."

Xin Xiaoli noticed that her face was completely red while her eyes weren't focused; not entirely. She was even having issues standing straight. He gave one look to Dylan before answering her, "You don't even have to ask that. I still am willing to take you in as my sister. Who wouldn't want such an adorable sister? I'd love to have one."

Xiu smiled brightly at his reply and said, "This is why I like you. You are nothing like Didi. You are so sweet."

Ah-Si suddenly pulled at Dylan's ear making him screech as he asked, "How much did she drink?"

"Ouch, it hurts! She didn't drink that much," answered Dylan but as something crossed his mind, he looked at Xiu asking, "Where is the alcohol bottle that you took from the bar?"

Xiu tilted her head to the side as she blinked at Dylan before smiling broadly, "It's in my tummy!" answered Xiu while rubbing her tummy like an idiot.
