359 XIAO TIANYAOs PAS (1/2)
Senja moved slightly and laid on her right side, so she could see him closely. ”Because I am special…?” She blurted out but her statement more like a question, even in her ears.
Actually, Senja didn't know how to talk with children, she wasn't a person who would be excited enough when the moment she saw one. After all, she was always been a baby girl in her home back then, with three older brothers who would pamper her every time.
Xiao Mugi tilted his head, inquiring. ”I don't see why you are special.”
”I am special because I have a purple hair.” Senja insisted.
”Your answer doesn't make sense.”
The corner of Senja's lips twitched. **He is indeed Tianyao's son.**
”Well, since you are recuperating now, I will not disturb you. Take a rest.” He jumped down from the edge of her bed and walked out from the room with his short leg.
**Is he really a six years old kid? Why he talked like an adult…**
But when he was about to open the door, the handle was higher than his short arms could reach it.
”Who closed the door? I left it slightly open before.” He grumbled to himself.
”Need help?” Senja amused.
As for now, Xiao Mugi was pushing a chair so he could reach the handle of the door. ”No need. I can do by myself.” He waved his stubby hand at Senja. ”I am a big guy now.”
Senja chuckled upon hearing Xiao Mugi last statement while he was standing on the top of the chair and was about to open the door when he heard Senja's soft laughed.
”What are you laughing at?” His black eyes fixed on Senja. The same agitated eyes that Xiao Tianyao had.
Senja slightly have a feeling that Xiao Tianyao was glaring at her. ”Well, you are only six, so I think you are still a child, not yet a big guy.”
Xiao Mugi wasn't very happy with Senja careless reason. He folded his stubby arms in front of his chest as he huffed in annoyance. ”I don't like you.” He spoke firmly, but couldn't conceal his child like voice.
After he said that, he opened the door and jumped outside from the room.
Senja was giggling when she heard he slightly offended. ”He is too prideful for a child.”
.....
The days after, Senja still didn't allow to leaving her bed, because of the poison she needed to drink a medicine which taste like a bile, three times a day.
The taste alone almost choked her to death and she needed to take the drink at least until two weeks onward. It was only the seventh day, but Senja felt like wanted to throw away that medicine, yet Qianru always said if Senja didn't drink the antidote, she would suffer even worse.
The wounded on Senja's shoulder had became better, they only needed to change her bandage twice a day. Her lacerated wound also has been closing leaving only a red dot on her shoulder.
”Your wound will leave a scar.” Qianru sighed when she was changing her bandage. She looked over at Senja, but the girl seemed didn't care much about it.
”Well, I am grateful enough to be alive.” She said lightly.
Qianru smiled and absentmindedly touch Senja's purple hair. ”You have unique color of hair.”
”I am very aware about that.” She glanced at her curly hair that cascading on her shoulder and covered her bare chest while Qianru was tending her wound.
”Okay, it's done.” Qianru smiled at her. ”You can put on your robe now, don't until you caught a cold.”
”Thank you.” Senja said her gratitude and continued. ”I feel better now, can I walk outside the room. It feels so stifle here.”
”Sure,” She smiled brightly, but when she spoke again, her voice laced with concerned. ”Do you want to go to Elder Dam's grave?”
After she was crying her heart out that day on Qianru, Senja had been avoiding talking about Elder Dam, seemingly she was pretending nothing had happened on him or the old man was someone that didn't exist in the first place.
Every people has their own way to get rid of their sorrow and Senja chose that way to make her feel better.
”I want to see Uncle Su.” Senja answered without gave a thought of her previous question.
”Uncle Su is very rare to be seen here, but maybe you can ask Prince Qi Xunyi.” Qianru informed her.
”Prince?” Senja raised her brows in questioning look while wrapping her robe around her body and tied the belt on her waist. ”I don't know if he is a Prince.”
”Yes, that was his rightful title.”
”That was?” Senja got off from her bed. ”Which Kingdom does he belong?”
”Xinghe's Kingdom.” Qianru replied. ”He is the last heir from the royal family of the Kingdom of Xinghe who has survived.”
