From the brief exchange between Xiao Jun and Xiao Tianyao, Senja inferred that they were talking about her.

**What kind of things would she have to face now!? **

Since this fellow kept pushing her behind his back again and again, preventing her from peeking, a vexed Senja tugged onto Xiao Tianyao's sleeve again and again, and thus this cycle of tugging-pushing kept repeating.

"We will take care of the situation here." Xiao Jun said and even though Senja couldn't see him, she could feel his stare on her. "There are things you both need to talk." He sighed wearily.

The next second, Xiao Tianyao grabbed Senja's shoulder and walked her in front of him.

"What happened?" She had asked the same question minutes ago.

"Let's go back first."

Now that Xiao Tianyao had finally given her a reply, Senja didn't ask anything else as she obediently walked with him back to the lodgment.

Before they left the bloody alley, Senja was tempted to turn her head and catch a glimpse of what was happening in there when Xiao Tianyao blocked her sight again.

"Move!" He said and urged her to move faster.

In spite of that, Senja knew that Yang Yu had killed the last person, the very one who had been hypnotized by Senja. She swallowed hard, but wisely kept her mouth shut.

***

The moment they reached Xiao Tianyao's room, he shut the door and stared at Senja.

It was an awkward situation, at least Senja felt awkward with him staring at her. There were only the two of them now behind the closed door, inside his room, after their kiss this evening.

Senja was blushing again.

**Damn! Stop blushing! ** Senja reprimanded herself in her heart. She knew, she was blushing because she could feel her blood rush to her head and warm her cheeks.

"What?" Senja slightly backed away under Xiao Tianyao's gaze.

**Well, who knew if he would abruptly kiss her again?! **

While Senja didn't despise the idea, she still wanted to keep her pride and not appear as a woman who could be easily kissed.

"Sit down." Xiao Tianyao pointed to a chair behind her as he walked away to the other side of the room.

Senja pouted.

**Ugh! This feeling between willing and unwilling! **

When Xiao Tianyao returned, Senja was munching an apple mindfully.

"I ate your apple; I hope you don't mind." The girl said offhandedly when she saw Xiao Tianyao had returned with a medicine box, again. "I think Sana has cursed me. I can't even spend half a day without getting hurt." Senja spoke exaggeratedly.

"No one has cursed you."

Xiao Tianyao sat in front of Senja and waited for her to finish her apple before he treated her wound.

Perhaps Xiao Tianyao had also been cursed to treat Senja's wound this entire day?!

The wound wasn't very deep, but still it was another wound. Senja could imagine how miserable she would be when bathing. The wound in her body would be quite sore by then. She frowned.

After Xiao Tianyao finished putting a bandage on Senja's neck, he rearranged the medicine box neatly. But, still didn't say a word.

"You will tell me what happened, won't you?"

"Isn't it you who needs to give an explanation about the situation earlier?" Xiao Tianyao put aside the medicine box and turned more serious.

"That is… " Senja didn't want to conceal, but she didn't know where she to begin.

"You are a mind controller?"

"No, I am not. It was merely hypnosis." Senja defended herself as she didn't know how bad the situation would turn out for her.

"That is one of the abilities of a mind controller." As Xiao Tianyao narrowed his eyes, Senja lowered her head unable to meet his intense glare. "You know how bad it would be if people from the palace were to know about this? Or the rumor spreads?"
