"Xiu!"
As always Jackie ran into Xiu's arms with an exclaim as soon as he entered the house and spotted Xiu in the living area. Although Xiu didn't know that he was gonna come with Nora, she didn't mind it. In fact, she was delighted to see him. Besides, she also didn't know that Nora was gonna come today.
"Little brother, what a surprise!"
"Are you happy to see me here?" asked Jackie with excitement.
"I'm very happy!" replied Xiu with the same enthusiasm.
"Ahem! Ahem!" Nora coughed from beside her brother. "I'm also here."
"Yeah, whatever..."
Nora was left gaping at Xiu with disbelief in her eyes. Did her best friend just brush her off? Again? What charm did Jackie really have that he always managed to become the apple of Xiu's eye?
"Your daughter's father is here," informed Xiu as she pointed at Ah-Si who was staring at them.
Nora hit Xiu's shoulder saying, "You could just say Ah-Si is here."
