418 YOU NEED TO TAKE IT OFF

Senja didn't like that fact, afraid actually. It would trouble her sooner or later.

When Senja was about to talk something the sound of footsteps echoed and both of them stared at each other with wide eyes.

"Could it be…" She didn't finish her word before she stood up abruptly and ran toward the direction of the source of the sound.

Before Senja could prevent her to do so, she could her voice squealed.

"What's happening?" Senja shouted at her with concerned. She tried to stand but, couldn't make a step. Only now she saw her leg was bandages by her when she fell unconscious. She used fabric from her own dress.

Couldn't go anywhere Senja tried to feel her surrounding, it was so dim and the moonlight was covered by dark cloud, hence her eyesight was not able to apprehend her surrounding quickly.

Later on, she felt strong arms sneaked around her midsection and pulled her to his sturdy chest.

"Senja…"

His voice, she was so recognizable in her ears.

"You came…" Senja sighed deeply, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Senja…" His voice was so broken as he buried his face on the curve of her shoulder and breathed in her scent.

He was furious and terrified when he walked down deeper. As his stepped bring them further away and they still couldn't find her, all the horrible possibility was roaming around his head and gnawed his mind.

He felt so lost and hopeless.

"Senja…" He called out her name again as though afraid she would be gone again.

"I am here…" Senja whispered to his ear as she ran her fingers through his soft black hair.

However, when Xiao Tianyao tightened his hugged, squeezing her body to be more closer if that possible, Senja winched because of the piercing pain that shot through her spine.

"I am sorry." Out of instinct Xiao Tianyao released her small body and held her shoulder. "I didn't think about that…" He regretted.

Xiao Tianyao just wanted to hold her tight in his arms, but forgot that his woman had just fallen from the nerve wrecking height of cliff.

It was miracle that both of them could survive, but didn't mean they were perfectly fine. It was too much to ask for that.

Xiao Tianyao wanted to smack his face to be so negligent.

He gripped her chin softly and raised her face, the dim light didn't help him to see her face clearly, but he could see some big scratched across her forehead.

After a brief check of her face, he stared at her hands and legs, she had another wound on her legs that seemed had been taken care for meantime.

"It's alright." Senja cupped his anxious face and made a shooting circle on his cheeks. "I am fine now." She was fine now, since he was here with her.

Xiao Tianyao leaned forward and kissed her forehead. "You don't know how grateful I am to see you now."

Senja raised her eyebrows in amusement, she didn't know that she had this effect on him, and she was happy nonetheless.

Someone cleared his throat behind Xiao Tianyao, interrupting their little moment of intimacy.

"Have you done?" Xiao Jun asked in irritated tone. "Because there is someone else here."

Senja chuckled when she realized that he would be the third wheel for her and another Senja, since Qianru wasn't here. Even though, it wasn't something that should to make a fun of, but still this thought entertained her and made her mood lighter.

"It's dark, so it's hard to see you there." Xiao Tianyao retorted, but didn't turn his body toward his brother.

Xiao Tianyao took off his cloak and wrapped it around Senja's body instead, to keep her warm.

The sound of another footstep was coming closer to their little circle, as Gong Xu and the other Senja walked toward them.

"I have just checked her wound." Gong Xu pointed the other Senja in his embraced with his chin. "If you don't mind, I could check hers as well." He offered his help to Senja, even though he looked more like asking permission from Xiao Tianyao.

Senja could feel his jaws clenched, despite the lack of light, as his hand on her shoulder became stiff. But, to her surprise Xiao Tianyao agreed.

He didn't say it though, he just step aside and let Gong Xu checked on her.

In the end his worry for Senja overcame his revenge.

"You will meet your end if you do something suspicious toward her." Xiao Tianyao threatened.

But, Senja thought Gong Xu didn't heed his warning, since Xiao Tianyao was standing behind his back and Gong Xu couldn't read his lips.

Thus, Gong Xu was totally calm when he talked to Senja. "I need you to take off your cloak and your outer robe."
