Chapter 856 - Burn To Exhaustion (1/2)

Today, when Ying had gone out to find Xiao Li, Han Bohai was just helping her in cleaning her room which she left in a mess. And while doing so, he accidentally came across the bracelet he was all too familiar with. For a moment, he could have doubted that it was just another bracelet with the same design but in the end, he couldn't do so.

He spent his whole day trying to think about this. And only at night, he decided to come and look for Xiu. Just as Xiu had said, he could have chosen any other moment to show up at her door but he didn't. He also didn't know why he couldn't bring himself to do so. But once he was faced with something related to his Sister Xiu, he just couldn't control his anxiousness and had to look for her.

”Let's confirm it first,” began Han Bohai. ”This is really yours and not just another bracelet like yours, right?”

Xiu gave him a disdainful look, ”Xiao Bobo, I can recognize my stuff.” She rotated the bracelet and showed it to him, ”For a moment, let's ignore the fact that my name is carved here. But remember I fell down back then. And because the bracelet rubbed against the ground, these scratches were left behind. It really is mine! There is no doubt!”

Han Bohai nodded his head. He just needed this confirmation from her. He already was clear about the truth but he still wanted to hear it from her.

”Why would Ying Jie have it though?” Xiu muttered softly with perplexity trickling from her face. It was obvious from her face that she was feeling troubles about this turn of events. She held his shoulder and urged, ”Go and ask her.”

”Huh?”

”I said, go to Ying Jie and ask her why she has it? Who gave it to her?” said Xiu straightforwardly.

”I'm assuming that...”

Xiu flicked his forehead, ”I don't want assumptions! Do you know how much time we can save from direct confrontations? Why go around trying to find the truth when you can just ask the one who knows the truth?”

Han Bohai squinted his eyes at her, ”I know that already! But with what right I should question her?”

”As her boyfriend!” retorted Xiu.

”Is that enough?” questioned Han Bohai sternly. ”She won't tell me anything! She is simply gonna say I have nothing to do with this.”

”This is your sister's property!” Xiu reminded him. ”Of course, you have everything to do with this!” She stared at him intently, ”I can't go and question her because I as Bai Xiu have nothing to with Chen Xiu's stuff. It will only complicate things. But you as Chen Xiu's brother have all the right to know why your sister's bracelet is with your girlfriend!”
