Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Chapter 330: Teasing her to comply

It has been a week since Senja was trained under Xiao Tianyao supervision. He was so serious, no smile, no teasing, no everything! Everyday Senja needed to keep up with his way of training and it wasn't pleasant things for her.

"Is he thought I am a soldier!?" Senja bellowed in frustration because her body was aching all over.

She was laying down on her stomach with four limbs spread on her bed while Aunt Hu who was massaging her ankle chuckled lightly. "Young Miss Senja, why do you want to train in swordsmanship? You are a girl, so you needed to be more feminine. Why don't try to learn embroider? This lowly one can teach you some basic."

Senja projected herself was embroidering and shook her head vigorously. That image was more terrible than learn swordsmanship from Xiao Tianyao. The patient that one needed to snitching was something that she absolutely certain that she didn't have.

"No that is more awful" Senja wailed.

"If you think that is awful, than get up and stop whining." Xiao Tianyao's voice traveled inside her room as the man strolled inside.

Aunt Hu abruptly stopped and knelt to respect him. Xiao Tianyao waved her away, indicating that she might leave and she did quite fast.

Not long after that the sound of the door shut closed could be heard.

"So, until when you will lay down there?" Xiao Tianyao towered her figure beside her bed.

Senja turned her body and was laid on her back, glared, she protested. "You tortured me." She shot an accusation look. "Brother Utara never taught me as harsh as you"

Xiao Tianyao frowned when Senja compared him with the other man. "If you like him, go and train with him." He said solemnly, but it didn't need Senja's ability to catch the fire on his eyes.

He was upset.

Immediately Senja got off from her bed and jogged after him before he could reach the door. She blocked the door with her body as she faced Xiao Tianyao.

"No, I don't mean that" Senja rattled her head.

Xiao Tianyao didn't say anything and only stood there silently, looking at Senja's attempt to block his way out.

"Your way of training is too hard for me to keep up." Senja whined and raised her hand that was so red from the long training and holding a heavy sword. "Look. If this continues like this, my hand would cut open before I can cut someone else."

Gave fully attention to the grumpy Senja, Xiao Tianyao reached her hand and scrutinize the small cuts on her palms, the hilt and dirt from training had turned her hand to be slightly callous. He bent his body and kissed the cuts.

The ticklish sensation from his lips made Senja withdrew her hands, but since Xiao Tianyao hold onto her wrist it pull him along as well.

Now the gap between them was only a breath away as Xiao Tianyao traced down a butterfly kisses from her forehead to her cheeks. Their proximity made Senja's heart was thumping frantically.

"I am sorry" He said with a low hoarse voice that made Senja's body shivered. The sound of it was so pitiful, as though he was really regretted it to cause Senja's in pain.

Senja's eyelids fluttered when Xiao Tianyao lightly brushed the corner of her lips with his. The anticipation for the kiss excited her.

"So, will you continue to train again?" Xiao Tianyao stroked her cheek with his thumbs.

Absentmindedly Senja whispered to his question. "Yes"

When the answered escaped her parting lips, Xiao Tianyao straighten his posture, leaving Senja confused by the sudden spark that ceased down.

She opened her eyes in complained because he left her hanging, only to find Xiao Tianyao's eyes were gleamed mischievously.

"Let's start then." He swiftly ushered Senja's body that covering the door, opened it and stepped out from the room while holding Senja's wrist so she would come along.

Senja who was still disoriented by the sudden intimacy mustered her sensed back and screeched agitatedly. "Xiao Tianyao! Don't you dare to do that again!"

"Or what?" He stopped all of sudden that made Senja bumped onto his broad chest. "Tell me what you will do if I do that again?" The smirked on his face showed how he was enjoyed to see Senja lost her argumentation.

"Or " Senja trailed back her words, trying to come up with something. "Or I will be the one who kiss you." She said coolly.

"I will take the challenge." Xiao Tianyao gave her lopsided smile as Senja chuckled with their bantered.

She never felt so carefree with someone else like she felt with him. But, Senja didn't understand yet about Xiao Tianyao real intention to make her can rely on herself.

The danger was lurking in every cornered and Xiao Tianyao plan with Xiao Jun almost reached its end. He would do everything that he could to make sure Senja's safety, including to make her to be able defended herself.

"Let's go, after training I want to discuss something with you."

This time Senja followed him willingly. "At least give me a kiss to keep me motivated." She said coquettishly as Xiao Tianyao laughed upon her suggestion.
