Imperfect Desires

504 Ship Names?

The following few days had been quite similar and uninteresting for Ying. Especially because Xiu's daily schedule only involved taking a trip to Dylan's house early in the morning for two hours. Other than that, Xiu had been spending her time locked up in her own house.

Ying was unable to understand this. Although she knew Xiu was a homebody, she had also seen Xiu hopping about everywhere for no reason.

But what really surprised her was the way Xiu had been acting. Somehow, she could perceive a little change in Xiu's aura. There was no visible change but her keen senses had picked up on small details. For instance, Xiu was often lost in daydreaming these past days.

Well, she could indeed link this behavior with Xiu's yearning for Darren. But intuition said the matter was not that simple.

Even right now, Xiu had been staring out the window with a blank look. Ying often passed a sideways glance to her and turned her attention back to driving.

Finally, with a heavy breath, she decided to break this stifling silence. "I bought some meat buns for you."

Xiu turned her eyes to Ying. historical

Ying continued, "Take it from the backseat."

Xiu nodded and stretched her hand out to take the paper bag from the backseat. However, while doing so, she ended up dropping something. She placed the paper bag on her lap and looked around on the floor to find what she dropped. As she picked it up and looked at it, her body stiffened slightly.

"I didn't know you like reading magazines," remarked Xiu softly. In her hand was a magazine and on the cover of the magazine was a very familiar face. Although his young features had matured a lot, Xiu still could see that innocent and moody temperament. "Han Bohai..." That familiar name rolled off her tongue so effortlessly that it seemed so very natural.

Not only that, but even the feeling it brought to her was also so familiar that she couldn't help smiling.

Even though her voice was low, Ying had heard it as she questioned, "You know him?" Shaking her head at her own idiotic question, she added, "Silly me. He is a huge star. Of course, you'd know him."

Xiu couldn't help smiling even brighter as she replied, "He was always meant to shine brighter." She took a pause and asked, "But why did you buy the magazine? I thought you'd read books, not magazines?" Being mischievous as always, she went on, "Don't tell me you have a crush on a celebrity and that's why you collect these."

Ying glared at her. Indeed, she never really read magazines. Even if she did, it'd definitely not be Fashion magazines or entertainment ones. This particular was bought out of curiosity. "I was just curious to know why people like this type of magazine." Even though she said that but the real curiosity was about the person at the cover page but she wasn't gonna voice it out to Xiu. Because she was familiar with Xiu's abilities to tease out of nowhere. And let's not forget how she had been pushing her for dating lately.

"Instead of being curious about these useless things, how about developing some curiosity for that little date of yours?" Xiu wiggled her brows at her suggestively. There hasn't been much that Ying said about Han Bohai to Xiu. That's why the only thing Xiu knew about him from Ying was that he was younger than her and also that he was an extremely clingy person.

Apart from that, Xiu knew nothing. But that was enough for Xiu to start calling him as Ying's little date.

"No thanks," said Ying calmly. If only Xiu knew that Ying was already very curious about the creature named 'Han Bohai' and where was this curiosity coming from even she was unable to say.

"At least tell me his name," insisted Xiu once again. She really couldn't tell why Ying was being so mysterious about this. Even if she knew the name, it wasn't like she could find the guy.

But that was exactly in Ying's mind. After all, Han Bohai was a public figure.

"Why are you so curious about his name?"

Xiu shrugged her shoulders saying, "I need to think of a ship name for you guys."

"What?!" Ying was shocked. No, she was more like horrified to hear it.

But Xiu didn't pay attention to her reaction as she went on, "Oh, come on! You see, Xiu and Darren make 'XiuRen'. Then Nora and XiaoSi make 'SiNo' ship. Then we have Dylan and Calista. I thought about this one for long and hard. Then I chose Dylan's real name Hedi and the ship name came to be, 'HeLista'. Cute? Right?"

Ying's head was reeling from this new information as she said, "Kid, you really be out there thinking anything and everything, huh!"

"As long as it keeps me happy, then yes. I'll be thinking of anything and everything. He. He. He."

Ying shook her head at her and decided to stay quiet. Meanwhile, Xiu also didn't speak. Her attention was captured by that magazine in her hand that she wasn't able to let go of even now. She even forgot about the meat buns.

Her fingers slowly caressed the photo of Han Bohai as she smiled in nostalgia. She still remembered how before her suicide, she'd often ask him whether he'll her once she's gone or not. And he'd also avoid answering her with the words, 'You're not going anywhere, Sister Xiu. I won't let you.'

Her smile had a sad touch to it as she thought, 'Xiao Bobo, I don't know whether you miss me or not but your Sister Xiu really misses you.'

'Stop calling me Xiao Bobo! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it very much!'

She could still hear him screaming about his dislike for that particular nickname. But she really didn't know why he hated it so much. Even when she explained that 'Bo' means 'Precious' and she just wants to call him as her little precious assistant, he still refused to take that nickname. But that never stopped her from teasing him on purpose.

She suddenly giggled thinking about it and Ying was taken aback when she noticed it.
