Chasing Shadows - part 3

When the rays of water dropped down on Xiao, he wanted to sigh and relax a little more into the stream but then thought better of it. While he hated getting wet, once he stood in the water, all his problems seemed to be washing away.

It felt relaxing to his sore muscles. Moreover, it seemed to calm his mind down a lot. But at the same time, he didn’t like the silence which came with a quick shower. It made the thoughts in his mind swirl a lot.

“DONE YET? WE NEED TO LEAVE” Xiao sighted at the shout and turned off the water. His hair which was stuck to his back irritated him a lot but he could do nothing but deal with it.

“Don’t scream so loud” Xiao complained as he exited the bathroom with a towel covering his lower part and one in his hair. However, the bedroom he exited into had no one inside it.
