Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

With her reply, she had implicitly admitted. If Uncle Su was from Greenhill and Greenhill's people were Xiao Jun's ally, then it made sense if Xiao Jun knew of her origins, and it was a waste of time to conceal it. It would be better if she faced it head on. On the other hand, she could find some information that could probably be useful to her.

However, to Senja's surprise Xiao Jun shook his head. "No. Ye Bai didn't say anything."

"Ye Bai?" Senja was perplexed. "Who is Ye Bai?"

"Uncle Su's real name is Ye Bai." Xiao Jun informed her.

"Oh!" She didn't know how else to respond to this piece of information.

His real name didn't matter to her. For all she knew, he'd be called by any name he wanted. The real problem here was, "How do you and Uncle Su know about this?"

"I am not sure of how Ye Bai knows."

"You aren't sure? Then how about you?" Senja was totally lost. [If it wasn't Uncle Su who'd told him then he had known about it by himself?]

Xiao Jun sighed. "Someone had stabbed the real Senja on her shoulder, near her clan's tattoo, when she was little, and it left a scar. Not everyone knows this. Even Elder Dam doesn't know about it."

Yet another surprise for Senja, "And how do you know?"

"I happened to know the someone who had stabbed her and…" Xiao Jun drawled.

"And?" Senja probed him impatiently.

She felt an urgent urge to rattle his brains and spill all the things that he knew at once instead of speaking sentence by sentence. Patience was never her forte.

"Doctor Lin who checked on your tattoo to ensure your identity told me that you just have the tattoo, but not the scar."

"You know I am not the real Senja only by a scar?" Senja asked, disbelief written all over her face.

"That scar has a long story and it isn't the only proof that you aren't Senja." Xiao Jun stood up. "I know you were a different person from the first time I saw you. Both of you carry yourselves differently."

"Your brother had the same suspicion as well when he saw me for the first time. On the contrary, all of them convinced me to admit that I am Senja." Senja chuckled wryly.

"You have a face that is exactly the same as hers…. except for your hairs."

"I know my hair is peculiar." Senja mumbled. "So, tell me who is this 'Senja'? She seems to have a complicated identity that even Elder Dam doesn't know about."

"It is a long story."

"Well, I have all the time to hear it." Senja was deathly curious about this and Xiao Jun knew she wouldn't let the matter pass.

"I am the one who doesn't have enough time." Xiao Jun turned and smiled at her, "We should wrap this discussion before Xiao Tianyao finds us." He teased.

Senja was amazed.

Both brothers had different personalities and their differences were poles apart. When Xiao Jun smiled, it reminded Senja that she'd never seen Xiao Tianyao smile casually like Xiao Jun always did. Without a doubt, Xiao Tianyao's sarcastic laugh wouldn't count!

"You don't want to share the information about me with your brother?"

Xiao Jun shook his head. "That isn't what I meant. There is something personal that I wanted to ask you."

"What is it?"

[What's the thing that's personal to Xiao Jun?]

Xiao Jun's expression turned solemn and pensive. In this point, he resembled Xiao Tianyao a lot.

"Did you come to find someone?" He asked carefully.

"Yes!!!"

Senja was very excited to finally have found someone normal, unlike Uncle Su, to discuss about this crucial matter thoroughly.
