'Why does everything remind me of you?'

Still thinking of you

Chapter 2
Still thinking of you
Xiao's pov

Summary: Xiao calls Venti. Talks for a bit with him before Venti has to go the store. Xiao still continuously thinks of him. Xiao even denies that he misses him.

"Finally! We're finally home!" Hu tao jumps into her top bunk. "Yeah, that's one thing we can agree with." I agreed with her. The others got dropped off at their houses. "Sooo, are you gonna call that girl that you met in the museum???" Hu tao reminded me of that note that I got from him. "His name is Venti. And he's not a girl." I told her. "Oh, how come he looked like a girl?" Hu tao questioned me. "I don't know, probably the hairstyle he wears." I told her. "I gotta use the restroom, cya later." Hu tao walked outside of the room. Should I call him?

     Should I? Should I? That thought ringed continuously in my head. I should. Wait! I shouldn't! I'll be a burden to him and what if he doesn't like me?!
Damn it! I always knew I was just like dad, overthinking. Overthinking of love. So stupid of that.

I picked up my phone and went to 'phone.' I typed his number and it started to ring. It ranged for a while until someone picked up. "Hellllloooooooooooo. You probably have the wrong number but if you need to talk someone, I'm right here~~!!" Venti told me. "Venti, it's me, Xiao. You gave me your number and I hope you already didn't forget that you gave it to me." I chuckled. "Oh shit! How could I forget? How can I forget you pretty ey- Uhm.. We'll talk later right?" Venti laughed. "Uh, sure but why later?" I asked him. "I gotta get to the store with my parents. And uh, I promise I'll call you back! Byeeee!" Venti hanged up before I could even say goodbye.

"Kidssss! Dinner!" Zhongli yelled out to us. "WAIT!! I'M STILL SHITTING!" Hu tao yelled in the bathroom. "Language Hu tao! Now, when your done, come down or I will kill you myself!" Childe made a joke. "AHAJSKFKVJFISOWOIDFJOVOFDKMWMWKEOFVPPDKSKD! PLEASE GOD NO!" Hu tao cried out loud. I walked downstairs to smell my favorite smell. Crispy Potato Shrimp Platter. Damn, that smell good! I better hope there's tofu for me. They better not forget my tofu. I will literally kill them.

     "I hope you guys didn't forget my tofu with the Crispy Potato Shrimp Platter.." I mumbled. "Of course not! I got a lot of them for you because we know you love them!" Childe gave me two plates of tofu. 'Damn, that's a lot of tofu..' I thought in my brain. Hu tao came running down the stairs, "IS THAT CRISPY POTATO SHRIMP PLATTER I SMELL?!" Hu tao yelled as loud as she can. "Lower your voice or our neighbors will filed a noise complaint for us.." Zhongli sighed. "You wanna tell them or I tell them?" Zhongli whispered in Childe's ear. I got my good hearing my grandpa from Zhongli's side of the family. "Tell us what?" I said with my mouth stuffed with tofu and shrimp. "Uhm, my family is coming over and we need you guys to uhm.. Use the guest room..." Childe said with a nervous tone.

     We sat there in silence. "Are you crazy?! Us?! Sleeping in the guest room with god knows what is in that bedroom?!" Hu tao made an opinion about the statement Childe had made. "Don't yell at your father Hu tao." Zhongli sighed. "I mean.. She's kinda right why make sleep us in the guest room?" I joined in the conversation. "Moving on! Anyways, who's Venti?" Childe asked me. I stopped eating the food. Looked at him dead in the eye. "Why ask and how you know?" I continued to eat the food that was left on the table. "I really do enjoy eavesdropping everything." Childe told me. "I met him at the museum when Hu tao over here forced me to go to. And I got his number and we go to the same school." I told him. "Wow, did I really just paired up my own brother with a guy to fall in love with?! Hey, when you fall into love with him and get together, thank me please." Hu tao had a smirk on he face. "Okay, okay! Let's head to bed, it's almost time to sleep now. Tomorrow is school." Zhongli told us to go upstairs, shower, brush teeth, do the fuck Hu tao does her skin-care (which I personally think that doesn't really help her skin.), and sleep. Then survive prison the next day.

"Goodnight Kiddos!" Childe yelled from his room. "GOODNIGHT!! LOVE YOU LIKE HOW MANY STARS THERE ARE IN THE SPACE!" Hu tao yelled. Damn, I never got the chance to called him. Damn, I'll see him tomorrow at school. I put on my headphones and put on 'Pick your Brain' by Lyn Lapid.
