Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Chapter 385: On fire

Xiao Tianyao let her cried on his shoulder while he was helplessly tried to calm her down, he tried to persuade her by think of any possibilities of his woman sorrowful, yet he had never thought that it was him the source of her agony.

Right at that moment, someone barged into the room.

A burly man stood in the doorway with scowled etched on his face. "What happened!?" He snarled at Senja. "Your cry could be heard throughout the forest!"

Still sobbing, Senja turned her head to look at Ju Long who was standing with his hands on his hips. Yet, Senja looked away and kept burying her face on the curve of Xiao Tianyao's shoulder.

"Who are you?" Xiao Tianyao narrowed his eyes, getting a little edgy by the other man presence while he was unconscious.

Ju Long zeroed his eyes on Xiao Tianyao who was pinned down on the floor by Senja, seemingly unable to move.

"Oh, you are awake" He nodded as he understood the cause of Senja's preposterous reaction.

Ju Long didn't answer Xiao Tianyao's question as he headed back toward his grilled chicken, leaving Senja who was crying relentlessly.

As the man out of Xiao Tianyao's sight, more or less he could figure out that he was there to help and didn't mean any harm for them. He kept caressing Senja's back, waiting for her to simmer down.

After seemed like years had passed, the crying sound subsided into a gentle sob. Senja's face was a mess, a beautiful mess. Her disheveled hair stuck to her cheek, her eyes and nose turned crimson from her tears.

But, she was still as beautiful as ever in Xiao Tianyao's eyes. Even when she snorted un-lady like.

Senja raised her head and looked at Xiao Tianyao through her teary eyes as she wiped her remaining tears with the back of her hands with no avail.

People might saw Xiao Tianyao as a cold hearted man, but when he saw his woman tears, it still broke his heart. He forced himself to sit up with the strength that he had.

"What happened?" He kept repeating the same question, because Senja didn't answer him yet. Concerned was on his eyes when he wiped away the tears that trickled down from the corner of her eyes.

"I I thought" Senja stuttered and finished her words in a sound that barely like a whisper. "I thought, I thought I will lose you"

A faint smile formed on his creaked lips when he heard her words. He reached out his arms and pulled her into his embrace. "You are here I know you will do something and all I have to do is survive."

Senja didn't appreciate his faith on her. "You could die!" She exclaimed with muffled sound into his chest.

"I know, I could die" Xiao Tianyao tightened his gripped on her body as though he wanted to calm the raging storm inside her. "But, I am not. You did a great job Senja" He said softly.

Senja shook her head, didn't agree with his statement, but too tired to argue with him. The thought that she might fail and caused Xiao Tianyao to die, scare the hell out of her.

"It's okay it's alright now" Xiao Tianyao persuaded, running a hand through her hair.

Finally, Senja sniffled and within her sob she spoke with a rough voice. "You need to rest" She said.

Xiao Tianyao gave a nod. "But, before that" He gripped Senja's chin gently and urged her to look at him. "I need my clothes. I am starting feeling cold now."

He swept his gazed to his bare chest and only then Senja realized that she had forgotten to put his clothes on.

She didn't ashamed to see his half naked body, she had seen her topless brothers ran around the house for years, so she simply scrambled away from Xiao Tianyao embraced and helped him to put his clothes on.

"Actually you can warm me up" He said teasingly.

"Like what?" Senja took his waistband. "Give you a piece of my mind? Because I can assure you that I am on fire now." She tied the waistband, too tight for his own good while glaring angrily at him.
