408 SENJA AND SENJA (2/2)
”They are not Modama's people?” Xiao Jun asked again, but it sound more like a statement rather than a question.
Gong Xu didn't answer him, his back still facing Xiao Jun while he looked at the children who were holding hands with each other.
”No, they are not…” The other Senja answered Xiao Jun instead. Her eyes would look back at Senja again and again.
Xiao Jun nodded in acknowledgment. ”So, what happened between you and your father? Did you betray him like your sister did?”
With the mentioned of Luna betrayal, Senja quite sure she could figure out the rest of the story between Xiao Tianyao and Luna. Sighed a deep breath, she tried to ignore a pang of envy inside her heart.
Meanwhile, Gong Xu still didn't turn around to face Xiao Jun or answered his question.
”He was never with him, ever since what had happened.” Senja answered for him again.
Xiao Jun furrowed his brows, ”Gong Xu, I want to talk with you.” He said a bit louder but, once again Gong Xu ignored him.
Senja slowly patted his shoulder and talked softly. ”He wants to talk with you.”
Only then Gong Xu directed his gaze toward Xiao Jun and nodded. Xiao Jun also befuddled by this action, but his calm mask prevented him to show his real emotion.
Xiao Jun and Gong Xu walked away to the edge of the cliff, far enough from the ear shot, leaving both Senja in the awkward atmosphere.
”What happened to him?” Senja asked, stiffly trying to strike a conversation with her.
”He… ” She moved uncomfortable under Senja's gaze, it was weird for her to see herself act all timid like that. ”He lost his ability to hear.”
Senja surprised with this news, but then everything made sense with all of those letters between Senja and Gong Xu.
Since Gong Xu couldn't hear her, that was the way they communicated with each other. But, earlier Gong Xu was communicating just fine with them…
As though the other Senja could understand her unspoken question, she raised her head and added. ”He is learning how to read lips.”
Senja nodded. ”Who did that to him?”
Sadness and fear fell on the other Senja's eyes as she answered softly. ”Xiao Tianyao did that.”
