Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Chapter 316: Senja and gong xu relationship

He brought the letter out to the main room and sat down graciously on the couch. Senja followed him and positioned herself right beside him. She fixed her eyes on the scenery of her colorful garden through the window, while waiting for Xiao Tianyao to finish reading the letters.

It took an hour for him before he lowered his hand and put aside the letter. The first question that escaped his lips was, "You were in relationship with Gong Xu?" That was his first concern.

Based on the letter that he had read, it implicitly showed how Senja's care toward him, how she took care of him all this time and how she poured her heart out at him about the mistreated that she had received from her family member. It made Xiao Tianyao aggravated.

"That's what I thought." Senja confirmed it.

Xiao Tianyao clenched his fist. The reality that Senja knew Gong Xu had hit him hard and now Senja even had a relationship with him. It was simply unbearable for him.

Fortunately, Senja couldn't feel anything from Xiao Tianyao's emotion. If she could, she would have shivering by now and wasn't able to sit unperturbed beside him with the turbulence emotion that Xiao Tianyao felt.

Xiao Tianyao closed his eyes, he was like on the verge of went berserk. However, he didn't know to whom he could vent his anger. Only if he didn't have this feeling toward Senja, he would have been strangled her to spill the information more about Gong Xu. But, he couldn't do that now.

"I need to show you another thing." Senja stated calmly.

Xiao Tianyao didn't move and still closed his eyes, but his heavy breaths indicating that something dreadful was happening within him.

Senja gave him sometime until he opened his eyes, but the eyes that were looking at her were full with bitterness and malignation.

"I need you to come with me." Senja almost plead.

He glared at her before stood up and walked out of the room, he still held the door opened to let her stepped out first and followed her wherever she brought him, because he could feel his mind was no longer functioning in the right way.

Senja brought him to the library where the hidden door was located. Along the way both of them didn't say anything. This was the first time that both of them act in this way.

The silence between them made Senja uncomfortable, either Xiao Tianyao, he glanced at her couple of time only to see she was in deep thought.

Inside the library.

"This is the place where Senja hid Gong Xu." Senja said.

Even though Xiao Tianyao felt something was off with the way Senja called herself, but he didn't dwell with it, there was another thing that more crucial than this.

"You weren't possible to hide him here for long time, Senja." Xiao Tianyao tried to make sense with her, suppressing his anger.

"Not here." Senja said and walked toward the hidden door. "But, here." She said and the same time opened the door of the hidden room.

Xiao Tianyao narrowed his eyes dangerously then he darted his sight to the girl who still held the door, indicating for him to come closer.

"I need you to check this." Senja probed him.

Finally, Xiao Tianyao walked closer to her and stepped inside the room.

The only light that illuminated the dim room was from the three air holes on the wall, this room looked like a tunnel as Senja guided him further inside the room, she brought him to the door in the end of it that connected to the outside place of Black Sword Clan Mansion.

Now they were in the deserted yard in rundown house. Senja sat on the half collapsed wall, waiting patiently while Xiao Tianyao observing their surroundings.

"Did grandfather know about this secret room?" Xiao Tianyao asked. He remembered that Elder Dam had built the library years ago when he knew Senja like to reading books, it must be built at the same time.

Senja shook her head. "I don't know, but I think grandfather didn't know about this."

Both of them fell into silence again. Xiao Tianyao was towering her, but didn't say anything while Senja sat uncomfortable under his scrutiny gaze.

"Do you really lose your memory?" Xiao Tianyao didn't know what he expected from Senja's answer.

Senja raised her head, stared at him and with low voice she said. "No, I am not."

As in cue, Xiao Tianyao smacked his hand on the wall beside Senja, it was only a few inch away from her face. The girl was frozen by his reaction as she could feel the solid object behind her crumbling.

"Have you been fooling me all this time?" He bent his body and asked her with low frightening voice.
