Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Chapter 384: What happened to you?

Senja woke up when the sky has turned dark with headache. She looked at Xiao Tianyao beside her who was still unconscious.

She looked around and saw a flame of bon fire from the door that slightly opened. It seemed, she missed the time for Xiao Tianyao's medicine.

With throbbing head, she walked out from the room to get water. She forced her body to move forward and with staggered step she managed to pull open the door.

In the clearing, she saw Ju Long grilled a chicken on the bon fire.

"You fast asleep." He commented when Senja took a seat in front of him and poured hot water from a kettle into a bowl.

"Yes, my head aching." Senja mumbled.

After she was done, carefully she brought back the bowl when Ju Long spoke in his guttural voice. "I will grill one more chicken for you."

Senja halted in her step and turned around to give him a faint smile as she said. "Thank you."

She was starving, but she didn't have any desire to eat. She was too tired even to eat, however she knew she couldn't act like that. She needed all the strength that she could gather, regardless, she had the appetite to eat or not.

Senja hobbled her way into the room and concocted the medicine for Xiao Tianyao before she fed him in the same way she had done these past two days.

After that, she took off his robe and wiped his body carefully, she started to wipe his face, neck and his torso.

Tracing her finger along his arms absentmindedly until she stopped at the scratched on his wrist where the poison was registered into his body.

It was just small scratched, but the effect was incredible.

She didn't know how she could push herself to go through this nightmare, nothing was important for her right now. Nothing could draw her interest, not even the news if she could return to her world.

Senja knew at that very moment that she wanted to be with him.

"When you will put my clothes on?"

The familiar voiced.

The same arrogant toned that she loved the most, although it was lack of strength. Senja whipped her head to look at the man in front of her opened his eyes.

His eyelashes fluttered as his breath became steady.

"It's cold" He spoke again when Senja was still petrified beside him.

Xiao Tianyao was aware that he was laying on the blanket on the floor, topless with Senja was tracing his hand.

He had been awake ever since Senja took off his robe, but too tired to speak. However, after he waited for some time and the atmosphere turned colder, he pushed himself to remind the silly girl that he was still half naked.

Xiao Tianyao frowned when Senja didn't have any reaction, only staring at him with gapping mouth.

He was about to speak again when Senja broke down into a crying mess.

She shoved her face on his shoulder as her body shaking violently and her loud sobbing sound could scare the whole spirit in the forest.

Xiao Tianyao became alerted, he had never seen Senja so devastated like this, not even when they visited Elder Dam's grave.

But, now Senja was crying like someone had robbed her soul.

"Senja, what happened?" Xiao Tianyao raised his arms to wrap Senja's body, his voice laced with panic. "There is someone hurt you?" The concerned in his tone made Senja cried harder.

Xiao Tianyao couldn't move his body to sit down and looked at his woman properly to find out what had happened that made her so heartbroken like this, because Senja had pinned him down, moreover he didn't have the strength to push her.

Hence, Xiao Tianyao caressed her head and stroked her back to soothe her bitterness.

"Tell me what happened please?" He was furious when he thought someone was hurting her.
