"Rubbing salt?" Xiu's brow quirked up. "I'm just speaking the truth."
Dylan pinched her arm as he whispered, "But your truth is hurtful."
Xiu stared at his face for a moment before shrugging her shoulders. "Okay." She patted his shoulder reassuring him. "I'll zip my lips now. I won't disturb you or Cali. You can pretend I'm not even here."
"Your presence is brighter than my love life, I can't help noticing you," replied Dylan and Xiu ended up laughing.
She playfully hit his arm saying, "Aww, you don't have to flatter me so much now."
Dylan's face twitched seeing her acting like this but he didn't say anything. He turned to Cali instead to ask, "Let's go to the food court?" Cali also nodded since they had been at the arcade for 2 hours now. It was past lunchtime and she was feeling hungry.
But on their way out, she saw a claw machine and ended up clutching Dylan's arm while pointing at it. "I want to play that."
