Chapter 193 - The Play (III) (1/2)

”Thank you. First, tell her to use this hand warmer for five minutes.” Linfeng handed out a small hand warmer. His young miss had kneeled on the cold stage many times. She might get a stomach ache if her cold hands and cold feet left unattended.

”These towels, please handed it to her.” A pack of disposable towels was in Linfeng's hands. He already handed a pack to Xiong Zhi earlier. But Linfeng was sure that the towels had already been used. His young miss's skin was very delicate. The towel should not be used all over again.

”And this one too, make sure she drinks this quickly.” Linfeng handed a thermos that contained a warm lemonade made by him.

”And this one, made sure she only eats it.” Linfeng still remembered how Xiong Zhi got a bit upset when Song Xuantin ate her chocolate moose cake.

”I will wait here until she finishes the food. Please bring back to me the container.” Linfeng finally finished explaining the things he had on his hands.

”A-alright.” One of the guards took it and went inside.

After five minutes, a figure ran towards Linfeng.

”Linfeng!” Xiong Zhi still had that pale makeup on her face. She looked really sickly. Linfeng furrowed his brow at this. Even though it was fake it was disturbing to see a pale Xiong Zhi up close.

”Young Miss, where's the hand warmer?” Linfeng asked this first.

'Why she was wearing so little? It was cold in the theatre.'

”It's here.” Xiong Zhi was hugging it in her arms.

”Good. Have you been well young miss?” Linfeng asked. He took off his jacket and dr.a.p.ed over to Xiong Zhi.

”I am fine. May I eat here with you?” Xiong Zhi asked Linfeng.

”Of course.” Linfeng found it strange that Xiong Zhi still gonna asked things like this.

He brought two chairs.

Xiong Zhi ate the moose cake with relish.

”You've done a great job. I am really impressed at your play. It was only part one and I am really looking forward to Part two.” Linfeng sincerely praised their production.

Xiong Zhi drank the warm lemonade and looked at Linfeng with a satisfied face.

”Really? I am glad we received positive feedback from you. We really work hard on it.”

”I can see that.” Linfeng smiled. Xiong Zhi looked proud of their production.

But he was curious. The Princess Ariana on the stage was here with him.

”Zhi'er, do you think Princess Ariana would agree on the marriage?”

Xiong Zhi looked blankly at him. That came out of nowhere.

Linfeng suddenly got embarrassed.

”Uhmm. I am not asking for some spoilers. Just tell me what you think.”

Xiong Zhi was about to wipe her mouth but Linfeng beat her to it. Xiong Zhi started to speak.

”Hmm..based on Princess Ariana's character, she would not agree even she loves Ethan. But she doesn't have a choice. This marriage is about to happen ever since the king announced it.”

Lifeng nodded. That's what he thought too.

”But if ever this marriage happens, it would be founded by betrayal and hate. Their love story is still a tragedy.” He commented.

Xiong Zhi nodded.

”They loved each other but the timing and situation did not go along with them. It's hard...for both of them.” These words came at the bottom of Xiong Zhi's heart.

Linfeng stayed quiet. He had an inkling this play would be a tragedy.

”Do you think Ethan is a fool?” After a long silence, Linfeng asked Xiong Zhi.

Xiong Zhi looked at him.

”I can't say. Yes, he is and yes, he is not.”

Linfeng just looked at her to let her continue speaking.

”He is not because he did not let his desire such as love hindrance his goal. Sometimes, love could be futile. Especially, if that love you know is bound to be non-existing and could not work out in the end. But he is a fool..so much a fool...”

Linfeng waited.

”Because he had actually love Princess Ariana more than his own life. He is a fool to not understand it early.” Xiong Zhi felt these words that she said were for her. She was a fool. She had not understood her love towards Linfeng in the past life. And she let their life turned into tragedy.

Linfeng suddenly turned sad. He knows what to happen in the play.

He could not help but sigh.

”So Linfeng-” An announcement cut off Xiong Zhi.

”Only ten minutes left before the Part two of 'Conquer' starts. Please remain in your seat.”
