672 Believer (2/2)

”If you won't do anything, how will that happen?” he asked.

”That's also true,” nodded Xiu gently. ”I always wondered why would I get a new lease at life in this way. Was it really for revenge though?”

”No! This is the chance for you to face everything you ran from! This is the chance to show those people that even in death, you can still make them miserable! This is your only chance to prove that you did nothing wrong!”

Xiu chuckled softly, ”Sorry! It's just that you look angrier than me.”

”It's not really funny.”

”I know that,” she said before pouting. ”But I told you so many times, something is wrong with my brain. I'll be crying in one minute and the next, I'd be over the moon. That's the aftereffects of depression. I lost some screws of my brain.”

Darren shook his head at her saying, ”No my darling wife, that's all on you. You have always been like this.”

”Was I?” Xiu stared at him foolishly.

”Yes, you were always like this.” While she was incredulously staring nowhere, he asked, ”Shall we go home?”

”Why? What for? The wedding didn't end though,” said Xiu hurriedly.

”Sweets, I don't want you to hurt yourself in any way.”

Xiu stood up and offered her hand to him, he took his without hesitation, ”You keep holding onto this hand. The rest... I'll handle on my own. But you don't let this hand go.”

Darren intertwine their fingers and brought their joined hands up to drop a kiss on the back of her hand as he said, ”Never! I can't even imagine living without holding this hand.”

Xiu smiled brightly at him as she said, ”Then the rest I can really go through.” Of course, she was bluffing most of it. Except for the fact that she needed him by his side. But she also didn't want to run away. She had done that as Chen Xiu. If she ran away again, she might never be able to face her own self ever again.

”Let's go inside,” said Xiu and pulled Darren along.

What both of them didn't notice was that a lone figure had been standing around a pillar and heard everything they talked about. From the moment Xiu started talking, that person had heard every word of hers and now had a darkened expression along with disbelief and incredulity.
