Chapter 309 - Drunk in honey (1/2)
The trip ended with the lively smiles of the students and the exhausted sighs of the teachers.
A lot happened in the trip, some hearts were connected, while some were just starting to learn what love was.
Jang Shin hopped on one leg as he carried his and Tang Xinyang's bag. A hand suddenly took the bags from him.
”Let me,” Tang Xinyang said.
”Wait, that's my job. I am your but—”
”An injured butler. Don't fuss around. It's not even heavy,” Tang Xinyang said as she walked ahead of him towards the living room.
Jang Shin watched Tang Xinyang with surprise. He could not really understand her anymore. Why was she so nice to him recently?
For some inexplicable reason that he could not clearly fathom, after the incident in the forest, he was no longer afraid of the 'nice' and 'friendly' Tang Xinyang. Well, he was still afraid of her due to the long-time tyrant impression she gave to him, but, there was something that changed, that which he could not describe.
Jang Shin did not like mull over the things he did not understand.
Sometime later, after doing some of his usual tasks in the mansion and excusing himself from heavy tasks that could worsen his injury, he bid goodbye to the Tang family and went home.
The first thing he did was to check on his friend.
He called a few times but Linfeng was not answering.
Finally, he gave up, went to the bathroom to take a bath, and then went off to sleep. In fact, he was planning to call Linfeng after the bath, but then his mind became too tired to remember. He immediately fell asleep the moment he hit the bed.
'Ring. Ring.'
A call disturbed his sleep.
A hand automatically reached out from the quilt to the ringing phone on the bedside. Jang Shin answered the call groggily. ”Yes?”
”Jang Shin, it's me. I am in front of your house. Come out and pick me up,” Linfeng's voice sounded from the phone.
”Huh?” His tired mind and exhausted body just wanted to sleep.
”I am in front of your house,” Linfeng repeated. ”If you don't let me in, I will have to sneak in.”
Jang Shin finally recognized his best friend. He shot up straight from the bed.
”Linfeng! How are you here at this ungodly hour? Darn, I slept!” Checking the time was already past two a.m., Jang Shin hurriedly left the room and hopped awkwardly towards the Jang family's gate.
