Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Chapter 257: Cat and mouse games

Xiao Jun's room was on the second floor, while hers and Xiao Tianyao's were on the third. So, she started walking down the stairs.

As she climbed down the flight of stairs, she could see the garden in the rear side of the lodgment from the large glass window alongside. Senja could see the pond by which she had sat talking to Xiao Jun about the things concerning Riana and the stone not too long ago.

That place, as well as the place where Xiao Tianyao had kissed her.

**Wait! Don't go that way!!!** Senja shook her head again.

She wasn't supposed to be timid like this. She had teased him many times and even dared to kiss his neck. But, why was Senja still feeling abashed?

**Damn! **

At the same time that Senja wanted peel her eyes away from the garden, she caught a familiar figure hastily making its way across the garden.

"Feng Chang?!" Senja murmured.

Not too long after that she saw Yang Yu stealthily tailing him. She was at a vantage point, getting a bird's eye view of the scene unfolding below. Senja stopped in her tracks and looked intently, curious to know what they were up to.

"S**t! No!"

Senja saw another man tailing Yang Yu not too far from him and it seemed like Yang Yu was oblivious to his presence. Under the light from the torch, Senja could see something glimmer on the man who had been following Yang Yu.

**A dagger! **

Senja raced down the stairs to Xiao Jun's room, she must let someone know about it and the nearest person to her was him.

Once she arrived at his front door, she pounded with her fist making a loud noise. But, no one answered. Senja tried to open the door, but it's locked.

However, soon after she realized Xiao Jun wasn't in his room because he would have answered if he were, considering the racket she had created with all the banging.

With that realization Senja directly ran down the stairs to the rear garden where Senja had last seen him. Though she wouldn't be much of a help to Yang Yu as she didn't know martial arts, she could at the very least come up with something to help him somehow. For example, using her power like she did when the assassin had attacked at the Carnation Resort.

Senja didn't think about looking for Xiao Tianyao in her desperate bid to forget him and he happenings with him. Finally, she could put away his thoughts in this critical situation.

The moment she reached the garden, Senja slowed her footsteps and scuttled off when she arrived at the pond. Her eyes skimmed her surroundings under the dim light.

Senja couldn't see Yang Yu, but she felt something very intense emanating from a certain direction.

Senja could more or less guess what it was. This game of cat and mouse must surely be very exciting, tensing them to the extent that she could sense it. Right at this time, a silly thought crossed her mind. She felt like she was some kind of a human emotions detector. Perhaps, with time, she could develop this ability to the next level, like finding a missing person?! Well, if she could do that, then the first person she would be looking for would absolutely be Yun!

She reined her straying train of thought that had started to affect her concentration. She walked into the street outside the lodgment, but still couldn't see Yang Yu. Nonetheless, she felt the tension in the air growing stronger.

**They aren't too far! **

Senja clenched her fist and steeled her heart as she tiptoed to the corner of the path. This place was right under her balcony, she could see her own room from here clearly and Xiao Tianyao's beside her.
