To Love You Again Avalondra 44020K 2022-07-22

A cold breeze passed by. The short silence reigned.

Linfeng's hands were still held by Xiong Zhi.

Xiong Zhi was still unmoving like a mountain. Every word she said was stern and unbreakable. It was carried by the night breeze and it got nailed at the moon.

Linfeng was flabbergasted.

This confession.

'How could a girl confess like this?! Or make this kind of promise!'

Linfeng's face turned red as a tomato.

Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.

His heart was racing. So Xiong Zhi's heart.

She was nervous that Linfeng would reject her outright.

”H-how! How could you say those things?! Y-you have to hold back when you say those kinds of things! I'm a grown man after all! And! You should not say those things to anyone! Especially to a man!” Linfeng lectured her first.

His face, his ears, and neck were so red. He was stuttering as he shouted to her, albeit gently.

Xiong Zhi answered back.

”I would not say this to anyone other than you. I hold back for so long, already. Besides, I think it's better to tell you outright for what I plan in the future right? So you won't be surprised?”

”That!”

That's right. It's better he knew it now rather than knowing it later. But still...those were the things you could not casually say!

With red ears, he holds Xiong Zhi's shoulder gently and turned her around towards the East Wing.

”It's late. Let me escort you back.”

He gently pushed her to her shoulders and started walking. Xiong Zhi followed.

”But why are you in my back? I know my way even you don't push me.” Xiong Zhi tried to turn around but Linfeng's other hand gently blocked her face from seeing him.

”Just look ahead so you won't trip.”

”I won't trip. I've been living here since birth.”

She tried again to looked at him.

”Just look ahead.”

”Why? Why are you hiding?”

”I'm not hiding, I'm escorting you.”

”Alright. Alright.”

Xiong Zhi admitted defeat.

Linfeng's face was still red. He could not really point out exactly the reason why, but he was grinning like a fool behind her. He was afraid that this uncontrollable smile would be seen by her and mistaken him as a pervert. It was his first time smiling so foolishly.

He doesn't want to admit it, but he was truly feeling happy right now.

Two hearts were beating loudly even before they sleep.

[ I sincerely thank the heiress of Xiong, Xiong Zhi, who made Golden Time be recorded in the world's history. It's a great honor for me to make the dress that's only befitting for the beautiful young miss ]

These were all the top searches on the internet. All netizens and the people in the higher society were talking about this hierees of Xiong who defeated all VVIPs in IAmFashionista.

However, the subject of this chaotic morning, Xiong Zhi was leisurely having breakfast with Old Xiong.

”You will have a difficult day today. I'll let you borrow Zhou Min for a while. ”

Old Xiong said as he took a sip on his coffee.

”It's alright, grandfather. I have Linfeng with me. Besides, I know you will assign people to protect me from afar.”

Old Xiong nodded.

”You're right. Just don't give any statements on the media if you want to avoid the spotlight for now.”

”Thank you, grandfather. And thank you also for the gift.” Xiong Zhi sincerely thank Old Xiong for the free 20 billion.

Old Xiong waved his hand like it was nothing. But his pocket was actually hurting. He spent 20 billion without return.

'No.no.no. It's for my granddaughter, my very first gift. A first gift must be expensive.' Old Xiong kept telling it to himself to disguise the bitterness in his heart.

Their breakfast quickly ended as Xiong Zhi prepared to go to school.

***

”Young miss, let me escort you to your room.” Linfeng insisted for the third time.

They were now in front of the junior building. But before they got in TIHS, a lot of media was waiting outside the school. It was good that TIHS was a high-end school that managed to block those reporters from coming inside. The bodyguards that Old Xiong left helped a lot as well.

A lot of students and their butlers were kept glancing their way. They don't know exactly what Xiong Zhi's appearance before. But after the news about her this morning, some of her pictures during the event and the banquet were released filling up the netizen's curiosity. Especially the people in the high society, Xiong Zhi was practically a star now in their discussions.
