Chapter 77 - Troubles of Heart (IV) (1/2)
Xiong Zhi and Song Xuantin were sitting in a cafeteria.
They continued the serious matter they were talking about in the class before.
”So you mean to say, he came to your balcony- no he climbs to your balcony at NIGHT while you are playing guzheng WEARING ONLY YOUR THIN NIGHTGOWN.” Song Xuantin clarified to Xiong Zhi what Xiong Zhi said earlier.
However, for Xiong Zhi, even it was the truth it sounds differently in Song Xuantin's mouth.
[1] - your temporary narrator wants to flashback something here. This is what Xiong Zhi said earlier:
” After the banquet, I could not sleep. So I went to my balcony and played my guzheng. Since it will help me somehow to.... remember things and be calm. But Linfeng came-”
Song Xuantin cut her off there.
”What you mean he came? Did you call him? At nighttime?”
”..no. he just came. Probably he climbed.”
”What are you wearing at that time? Pajamas? Lingerie? Robe?”
”...I am wearing my nightgown and my robe...Is it necessary?”
”..Yes..yes, Continue, continue..”
”So I get... emotional. I showed my feelings too much. I did not say anything though. I just took a step closer to him. I wanted to hold him or hug him. But in the end, he stopped me...what it means? Does he not want my hug?” Xiong Zhi said confused and a little bit hurt.
Song Xuantin was unusually silent.
Then her eyes got bright.
”I want to get things right. So you mean to say, he came to your balcony- no he climbs at your balcony at NIGHT while you are playing guzheng WEARING ONLY YOUR THIN NIGHTGOWN.”
Xiong Zhi was forced to answer.
”Yes..?”
Song Xuantin suddenly stands up and went to Xiong Zhi's side. Like a gossiper who found big news, she scooted to her side and squealed in delight.
” Wow, Zhi! I figure it out! I knew it! I'm the smartest of all people you know! Hahaha!”
Xiong Zhi stared at her confused. She did not know why Song Xuantin was so happy.
”You did not get it, don't you? Because you are not as smart as me. Think of it in this way. Why did Linfeng came to you that night? Moreover, he climbed to your balcony. Did you ask him why he was there?”
” No, I did not get a chance.” Xiong Zhi said a little bit startled. That night was so emotional for her. She just focused that Linfeng was in front of her, Alive.
”Hmph. What a naive girl. Did he tell you the reason why he was there?”
