599 Hot Snacks
The nightclub was lit up with rainbow lights and the music on loudspeakers kind of revved up the soul. The intoxicating vibe was making everyone want to move and experience the joy as one.
Nonetheless, there was someone who blanched at the sight of such a vibrant and loud affair. Hugging Darren's arm tightly, Xiu pouted in displeasure, "Why is the party at the nightclub?"
Darren patted her hand that was holding his arm in a tight grip as he replied, "Ying might not seem like it but she has a thing for crowded and loud places. She hates alcohol but she is still known as the life of a party." He craned his neck to look around before pointing right at the bar section."See, there she is."
Xiu looked over and was left tranced with the way Ying's hands moved to concoct different drinks. She seemed like quite an expert. And she truly felt like the life of the party as to how everyone was trying to strike up a conversation with her. Xiu didn't think she'd see Ying laughing and having fun with people like this.
From just a glance one could tell that it wasn't a simple nightclub. Even though there were over 50 people, it wasn't congested. In fact, it felt quite roomy with its elegant setting. ?And the people inside the club didn't seem like they were simple as well. However, Xiu still felt disturbed as she rubbed her chest while mumbling, "I feel uncomfortable here."
Yet, she couldn't just leave since she was already here. At the very least, she had to say hello to Ying. So, she walked over to Ying's side."Ying Jie!"
Ying, who was happily mingling with people she met once in a blue moon, turned her sparkling smile towards Xiu and almost jumped over the counter to hug her."You're finally here?"
Xiu laughed at her excited look as she asked, "You look like a dog with two tails." Leaning close, she whispered, "Is it because your boyfriend is here?"
Ying's lips twitched as she pushed her a little saying, "My boyfriend is not here."
Xiu gasped at her, "What? You didn't invite him? How could you?"
Ying's brows furrowed up as she replied, "What do you mean? He isn't in the city."
"How do you know that he didn't come back? Did you call him?" challenged Xiu with narrowed eyes.
Ying gave her a side-eye look as she informed, "He hasn't called me in the last 38 hours, why should I call him?"
Xiu's lips curved up in a wicked grin, "Oh... So, you've been keeping track." Bumping her shoulder Xiu added, "Why? Are you missing him?"
Ying pushed Xiu's head away again as she said, "Don't assume things."
"Well, if you won't give me a clear answer than I can only let my imaginations run wild." Ying didn't respond."How about I give him a call in your place? Give me your phone."
"I told you, he isn't in town." Ying tried to stop Xiu.
"Looks like I have to give him a call from my own phone."
"I even have his address, do you want it?"
Ying chuckled awkwardly as she saw Xiu's eagerness, "Keep it to yourself." Finding it a bit interesting, she asked, "By the way, why are you so eager to call him over?"
Xiu grinned at her cheekily, "Don't you know? I'm trying to set you up together."
"Being a busybody, are we now?"
Xiu shook her finger before Ying's eyes."Nah, Nah! It's called playing cupid. I love doing it!"
A masculine arm draped over both of their shoulders as they both heard the voice, "Are you sure about that Xiu? Because I think you love being the third wheel."
Xiu smacked Ah-Si's head saying, "What do you mean? Don't you know the joy of bringing two hearts together? And besides, if it wasn't for me, you'd still be crying over your broken life!"
"Oh, I should be thanking you, " replied Ah-Si.
Xiu proudly jutted her chin up at him as she said, "Of course, you should be! Even if you thank me for life, it won't be enough!"
Ah-Si rubbed her head, "Yes, yes! I'll be forever grateful to you."
Xiu laughed happily and proudly, "That sounds right." She looked down at her phone as she added, "Now, I should call Ying Jie's boyfriend." But suddenly she recalled something and asked, "Oi! Where is Nora?"
"She said she isn't in the mood to come out tonight, " replied Ah-Si.
"Huh? What is she doing home all alone?"
"She is alone at home?" Ah-Si inquired curiously.
"Yeah." Scrolling all the way to Nora's number, she called her first, "Yo, Nora, my dear Dora, whatcha doing?"
"Lazing around, " came Nora's voice that literally sounded like she was really lazy.
"I say, come out! Let's drive this night to a party!"
"No, bro! I'm out! Can't move..." Nora yawned on her bed as she rolled over.
"Sista! There are so many hot snacks you're missing out on!" exclaimed Xiu exaggeratedly.
"What snacks?" Nora's attention was piqued.
"Hot guys, you fat fuck! Get here already!"
Nora rubbed her ears saying, "Stop exclaiming so much. I'll be right there."
Xiu smiled in delight as she looked at her phone but stiffened when she heard a cough from her back. She turned her head slowly and grinned sheepishly, "Regan, my eyes are only on you. I promise. These hot snacks can't catch my attention."
Darren shook his head at her and laughed at her."I believe that sightseeing hobby is still there."
Xiu pursed her lips, "Humans are all about their eyes. We can't resist gorgeous creatures." She gave him googly eyes as she said, "Just like how my eyes always find your direction."
Darren patted her head lovingly, "I didn't even say anything. Why are you explaining it all? Don't I know you best?"
Xiu nodded, "That's true!"
"Wait a minute! You called my girlfriend over to stare at other men?" Ah-Si was feeling baffled now.
Xiu shrugged her shoulders, "No, silly! I called her over to ogle you!" Patting his shoulder, she added, "Make your time count."
Ah-Si looked at Ying and Darren as he asked, "Has anyone ever won a battle of words with this girl?" Both Ying and Darren shook their head in reply and Ah-Si nodded as if he had expected it."I see..."
