He can't live without her

Jun Bohai could only sigh as he saw Xiulin running away. This has been a usual occurrence now, though she has said no to any other help for her mental health. It has been slowly deteriorating from what he has noticed.

He couldn't say anything to his parents about this in order to not make her uncomfortable, but this hasn't been much of a help for her. It has been 6 months since she has shifted in with them, but he never saw her as happy as he wanted to.

She looked like she lost it somewhere, staring and spacing out seeing a few people. Though he sees her smile every day it never reaches her eyes.

He hears her crying her heart out sometimes when he passes by her room in the middle of the night and yet she looks so normal in the morning. He doesn't know who to talk to about this. This isn't even his matter to be discussed.

The only thing which has been getting her excited was their trip to Europe. Her eyes light up hearing about it.

"When are you guys going on that trip?"Lihua asked. He was back only when he heard her question.

"Uh, next week… Actually, I've been meaning to ask you, Will you be able to join us? It's only a month-long trip," he asked, looking at her. It would be so hard to handle XiuXiu alone, he thought, but he's not gonna lie he did want her to come. Babysitting XiuXiu is way better than doing it alone right?

Shen Lihua's heart skipped a beat when she saw him looking at her expectantly." Oh, I'm not sure, I'll have a word with my parents," she said, though she knew her parents will agree if she told them that she is going with the Juns. Like its once in a lifetime chance you know. She couldn't help but smile back when she saw him grinning.

Xiulin went and sat under a tree a little away from the cafeteria. Though running made her forget her bad memories it made her periods worse. She moaned in pain as she took a seat. She has to say that this body is extremely weak like who gets tired after such a small run and this fucking pain.

But it was way better than her previous state, though, or she would have fainted by now. She couldn't help but sneer at this body. This little girl's body would be torn into pieces the minute she enters the bar if she doesn't prepare properly. She has to be strong to meet her brother. She has been preparing this body for the past few months.

She wanted some time alone, but she has never been left alone ever since her last episode. If this continues to Russia her whole plan would be such a waste and she can't let that happen at all costs. She was grateful for the Jun family for taking in as a family, and showing her love, but call her crazy she has to get to her brother. He can't live without her and she knows that. She can't either...

Jun Zixuan ate his lunch as he looked at the file. He promised himself that this is the last time he will try to search for her. He was stupid to fall in love with someone who doesn't know him, but can you blame him. Her smile and everything make anyone fall.

He looked at the picture in the drawer. He didn't have the heart to throw her picture away.

But he has to live in the present now, not the past anymore. What Mu Shen was true all along. He wasn't in love. He was just obsessed with her out of curiosity, he thought with a sad smile as he locked the drawer and kept the key away.

He closed his eyes slowly. She appeared with her blue eyes and her blonde hair as she jumped up and down while playing the guitar laughing with a few kids on the street. One of them told her to bend down to tell her something only to kiss her cheek and give her a mischievous smile while she acted as if a kiss was stolen but gave them a sneaky smile while tickling them.

He smiled as he captured that picture. Then and the scene changed, he was looking out of his balcony only to see that Xiulin was playing with a maid's daughter in the garden laughing loudly as the little one chased her while she picked her up as the little girl caught up with her. He squinted his eyes when he saw them both falling down only to look at each other and break down into laughter again.

He didn't know why, but suddenly Elena and Xiulins face started to overlap with each other as the eyes turned brown looking back at him as he woke up suddenly and he wiped the sweat on him.
