Like what Xiao Tianyao had promised her, when it's time for dinner, he guide Senja out of the inn toward the nearby restaurant.

This place wasn't a big village, thus not many people were roaming around when they were in the street.

Senja heaved a sigh of relief... she didn't like to stay at a room for whole day and it felt good to be able to take a night out.

Xiao Tianyao held her waist steadily and would grumble if Senja was walking too fast for his liking.

Finally both of them settled in and ordered their dinner.

Senja chose to eat at the table outside, because she felt stifled inside a room. Aside from them, most of the tables were empty, thus their food came faster.

"Why did you help Gong Xu?" Xiao Tianyao asked out of the blue the question that haunted him. He didn't think that Senja would hide something from him and held more information about Gong Xu, but there was always a possibility for everything.

Senja raised her head from her food and looked at Xiao Tianyao right in the eyes, one thing that he liked from her, her braveness.

"There is possibility he didn't kill Luna, Tianyao." Senja replied, trying to come clean with him. "You will kill the wrong person if he didn't."

"It was him, Senja." He said stubbornly and assertively, made sure Senja could feel the conviction in his word.

However, Senja didn't affect by his demanding tone. "In this case, let me ask you."

"What?" Xiao Tianyao terse question sounded harsher than he meant it. "What is it?" He reiterated his question softer this time.

Senja knew how agitated Xiao Tianyao this time, especially when he saw his own brother stood up for his enemy, including her.

Senja fell silent for a moment, trying to think over her question. "Do you see with your own eyes that it was Gong Xu who killed Luna?" Senja posed her question carefully.

The same feeling was creeping in his mind when Xiao Tianyao heard Senja question. The question that very modest and logical, but didn't even cross his mind. How could that happen?

He must have known about this, yet never thought about it, the simple question that had slipped from his mind and was stupidly forgotten.

"Did you see with your own eyes that Gong Xu killed Luna?" Looking at Xiao Tianyao's deadpan expression, Senja thought he missed the question, thus she kindly repeated it for him.

"No." As if his face was being poured by cold water. The realization hit him hard.

Senja surprised, but somehow she had known that would be his answer. She could see the face of the man in front of her turned ghastly pale.

There would be thousand questions were running around in his mind at this very moment. He was obviously confused.

Senja reached out her hand, grabbed his big hand in hers and gave a reassuring squeeze. "It's alright. It's alright." She said repeatedly.

Yet, Senja's voice seemed didn't reach him. Xiao Tianyao looked down to his hand that intertwined with Senja's. "The question never come in my mind." He informed her, barely a whisper.

Senja nodded in understanding.

Since Xiao Jun didn't want Xiao Tianyao to know the truth, he must have never confronted Xiao Tianyao with this question and if he didn't then no one else would.

Even if there was, Xiao Tianyao harsh reaction would make them back down. They wouldn't talk in peaceful and calm ambience like the way Senja asked Xiao Tianyao about this.

And moreover Xiao Tianyao wouldn't think thoroughly about it and forced his own opinion without batting an eye.

"Why the questions never come in my mind?" He muttered, more to himself rather than talking to Senja.

"I don't know…" Senja said sympathetically.

The person who had blocked Xiao Tianyao's memory definitely her, without doubt and Senja was very sure about that. But…

**Did Luna also prevent him to know the truth? But, why she did that? It doesn't make sense no matter what the reason.**

"I never saw it by myself, Senja." Xiao Tianyao raised his head. The confusion and turbulence emotion in his eyes made Senja wanted to soothe him. "But, why I am so adamant it was him?"

Right at that moment, Senja felt it. Started from the hand that was in her grasp, rushed up to her arms, spread on her body and in the end engulfed her.

She felt his emotion and this caught her completely off guard.

The fear, anxiety, anger, furious, sadness, agitation and many emotions that swirled in the same time, moreover it was him. This was Xiao Tianyao emotion that she had not been able to feel since the first time she met him.

Why she could feel it now?
