Chapter 63 The Dog Is Smarter Than You

Christopher glanced at him with a sullen face, ignored him, and turned around to go to the bar. Hepoured himself a glass of wine and sat quietly drinking.

Raymond glanced at Christopher from time to time as he played poker. The more he looked, the morehe felt that something was wrong with Christopher.

After completing a round, Raymond called someone to replace him on the table. He went off the pokertable and walked toward Christopher.

“Why are you acting gloomy here?” Raymond placed his arm around Christopher’s shoulder and satdown on the bench next to him.

Christopher shoved Raymond’s arm in disgust and took a sip of wine.

Raymond also took an empty glass and poured himself a drink. After taking a sip, he asked, “Do youwant me to talk to you for a while?”

Christopher side-eyed him. “Ray, has anyone told you that you chatter non-stop, like a sparrow?Please go back to where you came from. Don’t disturb me.”

“Tsk. You’ve got a bad temper. Even dogs will shake their heads if they see this.” Raymond shook hishead. Hearing this, Christopher smiled, “Don’t attack the dogs. They’re not as stupid as you.”

“Who did you say-?” Before Raymond could finish his words, he realized something immediately, andhis face darkened.

He thought, “Damn! How stupid am I to criticize myself? It’s all because of Christopher.”

After a glass of wine, Raymond saw the tired expression on Christopher’s face. It was obvious that hewas in a bad mood. Raymond paused and said seriously, “Chris, you don’t give yourself a break.What’s the point of it? You only live once.”

Christopher didn’t say anything. He took out a cigarette box and lit a cigarette. Then, he pushed thecigarette box to Raymond, who picked up the cigarette box and lit another.

Neither of them spoke.

In the blink of an eye, it was Independence Day. Xandria and Yuliana made an appointment to stay inthe ancient town around Juxshire for two days.

The main reason was that many people traveled during Independence Day. There were people andtraffic jams everywhere. However, because the surrounding ancient town was not well-known, manyoutsiders were unaware of it. The locals of Juxshire often visited the ancient town. So, it was natural forthem to travel further during the long Independence Day holiday.

Xandria booked a homestay. The style of the homestay was the same as that of the ancient town. Thedifference was that the original buildings in the ancient town were hundreds of years old, while thehomestay buildings were newly built based on the ancient buildings in the later period.

Yuliana and Xandria set off in the morning. It took them over ten hours of driving for a three to fourhours’ journey. It was already close to the evening when they arrived..

After putting away their luggage, they rested. The sky darkened gradually.

However, it was quite interesting at night in an ancient town like that.

Anyhow, it was still Independence Day. Although it was not as crowded as the popular scenic spots, itwas obviously much more lively than usual.

Xandria and Yuliana wandered outside and took some photos. When they were tired, they chose a caféand sat down. Xandria was editing a photo on her phone while chatting with Yuliana about the child.

“Are you really going to give birth to the baby?”

Xandria still felt that Yuliana was too irrational on that matter.

Yuliana took a sip of fruit tea and said, “Yes. Christopher also knows about my pregnancy. He doesn’tobject to me giving birth to the baby.”

Xandria shouted, “Of course, he doesn’t object. He doesn’t need to give birth to or raise a child. Iwouldn’t object if I could be a dad by just inserting my sperm.”

After saying that, she showed the edited picture to Yuliana and asked, “What do you think?”

Yuliana took the phone and looked at it. “Isn’t this edited till it’s a bit… fake?”

She thought, “It’s not only a little fake, but it’s not like you at all.”

Yuliana sometimes couldn’t understand Xandria’s beauty standards. She was beautiful, but every timeshe took a photo, she trimmed herself into an awl-shaped face with blurred features, with her face aspale as flour.

“How is it fake? I think it looks pretty good.” Xandria got her phone back.

Then, she posted the edited picture on her Instagram account. The caption was written as, [Traveling inan ancient town with my best friend).

Before long, Xandria received dozens of likes. She looked at them one by one with a smile. Suddenly,the smile on her face stiffened.

“This bastard, Raymond. He is calling me ugly!”
