Chapter 878 - Dont Scare Me (1/2)

Han Bohai had come to this place more than he had even gone to his own house and yet, he had never discovered that there was more to this place than meet the eyes. He really was startled by the hidden places that Xiu finally introduced to him.

”What is all this and why are you giving it to me?” inquired Han Bohai as he frowned at her in confusion. ”Besides, how come I never knew you had so many secrets?”

”I never tried to hide anything from you,” said Xiu. ”It's just you who never really paid attention before.”

Han Bohai was taken aback by her words and fell into deep thought. But Xiu didn't let him think on his own for long as she explained to him the content of the folder she passed to him. And seeing it, he was even more startled.

They spent hours in that condo discussing various topics. It was close to the break of the dawn when they decided to leave this place.

”It really feels like I came back.” Han Bohai heard Xiu's voice and looked at her with a raised brow. So, Xiu elaborated for him, ”It's been years I've been trying to live as Bai Xiu and purposely kept myself distant from things or places related to Chen Xiu. Perhaps, that's why today I feel like I've finally come back where I began from.”

”This place isn't where it all began but it's definitely the place where you decided to end everything.”

Xiu smiled at him in reply as she fastened the seatbelt. ”Technically, nothing ended here. Instead, this became the starting point to the life I have right now.”

Han Bohai was stumped for words. He started the car and drove out of this place. It was early morning when they reached the hotel where Bo Jiu had booked the presidential suite.

Xiu collected the key card from the reception before she took the elevator with Han Bohai.

”Xiao Bobo, do you think Chen Hana will ever wake up?”

Han Bohai paused a little before answering, ”Do you want me to tell you the truth?”

”Obviously,” replied Xiu.

Han Bohai licked his dry lips before telling her, ”I don't think she'll ever wake up.”

Xiu's expressions didn't change at all when she heard that response from him. In fact, it was something she knew in her heart as well. And she had made peace with that fact since the time she learned about Chen Hana's condition.

”And why do you think like that?” asked Xiu.

”Her relationship with you was really complicated, Sister Xiu.” Xiu raised her brows at him inquisitively. ”She always looked at you with a conflicting gaze. There is no doubt that she loved you but there was always something holding her back from showing that love.”

Xiu opened the door of the presidential suite and entered with Han Bohai following her even now. The very first thing she did was find a bottle of water and drank it. Her eyes wandered around aimlessly as she thought about something.

”She lost her whole family. She must have loved all of them as well,” she said in a small voice. ”She was scared of loving me because she couldn't forget the feeling of losing everyone she called family.”

”Did you forgive her for everything?”

Xiu shrugged her shoulders, ”I don't even know what I'm supposed to forgive her for. Expect for love, she provided me with everything. I'm not sure whether I need to forgive her or I need to ask for her forgiveness.”

”She was lost after you're gone,” told Han Bohai. ”I truly believe that she considered you a daughter. Maybe that's why she lost her patience and got herself into such trouble. But as for why she won't wake up... Isn't it obvious? She thinks you died because of her lie. That's why she doesn't want to open her eyes in this world again where she can't see you.”

”Maybe you're right,” said Xiu after a long moment of silence.

Both Xiu and Han Bohai looked over when they heard the sound of the door opening. Bo Jiu walked out with disheveled hair as she gazed at them before falling on the sofa.

”You came quite early,” said Bo Jiu. ”I thought you'll come close to noon.”

”Are you done sleeping?”

Bo Jiu yawned as she replied, ”You and I have one thing in common, Xiuxiu. We both value our sleep way too much. Do you really think I'll ever say that I'm done sleeping?”

Xiu shook her head at her saying, ”I thought people with your kind of skills didn't value sleep that much.”

”Don't prejudice against us hackers!” exclaimed Bo Jiu. ”We might be night owls but we don't scrimp on our sleep!”

”Dress up,” said Xiu. ”Let's have breakfast and then we'll plan the course of action for the day.”

”Roger that, boss!” Bo Jiu gave her a mock salute.

Xiu walked over to the other bedroom and found clothes for herself to change into. She used the hotel's phone and called Darren who was also waiting for her call all this while. That's why he hurriedly took the call and asked, ”Sweets, how are you? Is everything okay? What are you doing?”
