425 SHE FEELS IT! (1/2)

Like what Xiao Tianyao had promised her, when it's time for dinner, he guide Senja out of the inn toward the nearby restaurant.

This place wasn't a big village, thus not many people were roaming around when they were in the street.

Senja heaved a sigh of relief... she didn't like to stay at a room for whole day and it felt good to be able to take a night out.

Xiao Tianyao held her waist steadily and would grumble if Senja was walking too fast for his liking.

Finally both of them settled in and ordered their dinner.

Senja chose to eat at the table outside, because she felt stifled inside a room. Aside from them, most of the tables were empty, thus their food came faster.

”Why did you help Gong Xu?” Xiao Tianyao asked out of the blue the question that haunted him. He didn't think that Senja would hide something from him and held more information about Gong Xu, but there was always a possibility for everything.

Senja raised her head from her food and looked at Xiao Tianyao right in the eyes, one thing that he liked from her, her braveness.

”There is possibility he didn't kill Luna, Tianyao.” Senja replied, trying to come clean with him. ”You will kill the wrong person if he didn't.”

”It was him, Senja.” He said stubbornly and assertively, made sure Senja could feel the conviction in his word.

However, Senja didn't affect by his demanding tone. ”In this case, let me ask you.”

”What?” Xiao Tianyao terse question sounded harsher than he meant it. ”What is it?” He reiterated his question softer this time.

Senja knew how agitated Xiao Tianyao this time, especially when he saw his own brother stood up for his enemy, including her.

Senja fell silent for a moment, trying to think over her question. ”Do you see with your own eyes that it was Gong Xu who killed Luna?” Senja posed her question carefully.

The same feeling was creeping in his mind when Xiao Tianyao heard Senja question. The question that very modest and logical, but didn't even cross his mind. How could that happen?

He must have known about this, yet never thought about it, the simple question that had slipped from his mind and was stupidly forgotten.

”Did you see with your own eyes that Gong Xu killed Luna?” Looking at Xiao Tianyao's deadpan expression, Senja thought he missed the question, thus she kindly repeated it for him.

”No.” As if his face was being poured by cold water. The realization hit him hard.
