There were a series of knocks early in the morning, Xiulin woke up immediately on high alert and looked outside. It was still dark and windy.
She frowned and got up to hear the sound outside. She tiptoed slowly after opening the door without making any sound. Only to find Dimitri munching on chocolates. She couldn't help but feel her displeasure as she stared at her dog.
"I see that you still have not got over your sugar addictions,"she said with a smirk as she leaned on the kitchen frame.
Dimitri froze as he realized that he has woken up the devil while eating his chocolates. He always had chocolates whenever he was extremely stressed about something. He slowly turned with a smile and offered her one too.
She sighed and took one also climbing over the marble to sit beside him. She took a bite and smiled as the nostalgia of Alyonka has passed over her bringing back fond memories.
Seeing a smile appear on her face after taking a bite made him smile too. Who can ever forget the taste of this chocolate?
"What are you so stressed about?" she asked as she took another piece of chocolate.
"You,"he said looking at her. Xiulin laughed and shrugged.
"Dimitri it's going to be fine. You are the most optimistic person i know" she said with a smile.
"You used to know"
Xiulin frowned at his change and looked at him.
"A lot has happened after you died Elena. My life isnt the same"
Xiulin had no idea that she missed something. She thought he was going to be happy that she is back. But after all, there was something she missed.
"I'm sorry. What happened?" she urged.
He looked at her and smiled, turning back to return to his room. Xiulin stood there staring at his back. It wasn't a great mystery to see how much of a bad friend she is generally.
Maybe she wouldn't have noticed this before at all if not for Bohai. She didn't know that being someone's friend comes at the expense of care. Has she become exactly what she feared?
She sat there in the kitchen as the sun rises. She looked outside, longing that no one could decipher who it could possibly be for.
Adrian woke up in the morning with a weird feeling that made him smile the moment his feet touched the floor. He got up and ran to the room beside his. It was still empty and untouched. He paused realizing what happened.
It was a dream.
He sat at her door as he hoped that she would come back running just like she always did but he must be just too late this time.
Mu Shen immediately landed at the London house of Zixuan when he heard of the news. It was yet to be told to the elders of the family. If this got out, the whole city would be in a frenzy trying to search for her.
Mu Shen already had an idea of where Xiulin was and he wasn't stupid enough to tell Zixuan. Zixuan wouldn't be able to accept it. But this is for the best right that she has finally left to go back to where she came from.
And that's away from his family.
