Imperfect Desires

442 Not Fair

-Inside Darren's room-

Darren was typing on his computer while Dylan was leisurely playing games on his cell phone in a corner. Darren had no idea why Dylan was here. He neither talked to him nor did he disturb him, from the time he came, he just sat in one corner and played games.

And apparently, Dylan's silence was even more worrying to Darren than his nonsensical blabber. It was odd. Really odd!

"Didi, if you have nothing to do just go home. Stop disturbing me," stated Darren with impatience.

"Dazi, how did I disturb you? I'm just sitting here silently. I didn't even call you once. I'm wearing earphones so that the game's noise doesn't disturb you. I'm being so thoughtful and yet you're kicking me out? How could you?" Dylan felt wronged at the way his best friend was trying to get rid of him.

"Your presence is enough to disturb me," retorted Darren.

Dylan squinted his eyes at Darren and sit up from his weird position on the sofa as he said, "I'll complain to my sister-in-law!"

Darren's face twitched at his response, "Didi, you do realize that your sister-in-law is my wife, right?"

"Strictly speaking, she's not your wife," replied Dylan, and when Darren threw his pen at him, he added, "Yet. I mean, she is definitely going to be but she isn't yet."

"I and my heart have already accepted her as my wife, there is no need for arguments."

Dylan laughed weirdly, "Your tempo is messed up, bro! Instead of just saying it just take her as a wife already. Even my sister is getting married to Li bro which I never thought would happen and here you are being a slowpoke!"

Darren's expressions turned complicated when he heard Dylan's response. He rubbed his forehead and said, "Don't remind me of that. Mama had already said enough about that to me."

Dylan jumped up to his feet and moved towards Darren's desk. "What did she say? Did you finally get one of those infamous lectures of a mother?" He was like a curious kid eager to hear about this matter.

"Of course she nagged me nonstop for three hours," replied Darren as he looked at Dylan's face. "According to her, I'm being incompetent. She had finally got the chance to have a daughter like Xiu and I'm being an idiot by wasting my time." He took a deep breath and went on, "She also said that if I kept dragging it on, someone else might sweep her away from me. Because who wouldn't love an adorable, kind, understanding, sensible girl like Xiu."

Dylan held back his laughter but couldn't do so, "Pfft!" Darren glared at his best friend. "I'm sorry but I can't help it. I guess this must be the first time your mom reprimanded you."

"Yeah. The very first. She had never done this before."

Dylan clapped happily. "I must applaud my sister-in-law's charming abilities. She even managed to steal your most loving mom from you. Haha!"

Darren didn't react for a while but soon his lips curled up slightly. "I'm more than happy."

"Huh? You aren't upset?"

"Why would I be? If my mom is thinking about Xiu that means she loves Xiu just like I love Xiu. And all I want is a loving family. That's my biggest dream in life. Isn't it enough?" Darren took a brief pause and added, "Leave my matter aside. My wife is my wife and that won't change. You tell me about your progress. When are you getting a wife?"

Dylan's expression turned into a lovesick teenager. "I'm on the road to victory. You just wait and watch, I'll get my girl and then you won't be able to make me jealous."

"Good luck!" Darren gave him a thumbs up and even smiled. "By the way, how did sister Meihui suddenly said yes to marrying Li bro? She had always been the one against this marriage."

"Honestly, I have no idea what goes through my sister's mind. She's too cunning and I'm too dumb."

"So, you accept that you're dumb?"

Dylan shrugged her shoulders, "I can't disagree. Women are dangerous when they are up to something. And trust me, men really become dumb before scheming women."

"So, you think your sister is scheming something?"

"Who knows what she is up to? But I do know she is scheming, otherwise, why did she suddenly move back to our family house? After her divorce, she had been living at my house but now, she suddenly decided to go back home and even tried to reconcile with mom. Doesn't it seem fishy?"

Darren shook his head in response, "Maybe she really wants to reconcile with Wei Ma. Why are you thinking so much? Are you not happy with this?"

"Bro, I'm more than happy to see my family together. But..."

"There is still a but?"

"Why are you not getting it, Dazi? You have not seen the way she had been treating Li bro. And now suddenly her attitude taking a 180-degree shift, why? How? What changed?"

"Love is not rocket-science, Didi. It takes only a moment to fall in love."

"And it takes a lifetime to fall out of love," retorted Dylan. "I agree, maybe she did finally see Li bro's efforts and decided to give him a chance, But even if it is like that she should take it slow. Her fast pace is making everything more suspicious to me." He took a pause while Darren looked at him thoughtfully, "But, since it doesn't concern me, I'm going to keep my distance."

"You're being too indifferent," remarked Darren.

"As long as my dearest sister's scheming doesn't affect my life, I'm okay with anything she does." That was truly Dylan's sole standpoint in this matter. He had never won from his sister even when they were young, and now the situation was entirely different.

"Maybe it doesn't affect your life but a lot of other people can get affected by this," reminded Darren. "If she's really using Li bro's love as a means to get close to Wei Ma, then it's not fair to both of them."

Even Dylan knew it wasn't fair with anyone involved but he had no say in it. As always he was the last person to even find out that his sister agreed to marry Xiaoli.
