Chapter 351 - Promises (1/2)

After kissing a few more times, Linfeng finally let Xiong Zhi go.

With their faces just inched apart from each other, he smiled to her lovingly, ”Come follow me, my sweet captive. This daring bandit has a little surprise for you.” He held her hand, switched on the lights, and led her to his 'surprise'.

Xiong Zhi's eyes shone as she saw the room filled with LED candles and roses petals on the carpeted floor. According to her years of study about romance, she naturally has an idea of what this scene was for.

There was a look of shyness and anticipation in her eyes.

Was it the most awaited honeymoon?

Candles, rose petals, wine, light delicacies... then her eyes saw a mini-player and a speaker in the corner. And romantic music! This was clearly for honeymoon!

But where was the bed?

Her head shyly turned around to look for a bed that might be hidden from view, or even a mat, but there was none. She could not help but dubiously lower her gaze on the floor covered with scattered rose petals, filled with doubt.

Was it possible that he planned to do it on the floor?

If Linfeng knew what Xiong Zhi was thinking, either he would choke on his breath or helplessly pat her head then patiently explain to her that this was how romantic dates work abroad, from what he gathered. And that if she wanted to, they could, ahem, get a room after.

Spending a few years abroad has naturally broadened his horizons. He was more open-minded and was no longer as restrained in intimacy as before. Especially now that Xiong Zhi was already an a.d.u.l.t.

Alas, she did not ask, and he did not know.

So of course, that did not happen.

While Xiong Zhi was taken aback by the sudden view and was busily looking around, Linfeng sneakily picked up a bouquet of roses on the table and hid it behind him.

The real plan was to hide here in the dark. Once she came inside, the candle lights would automatically lit up, he would appear on the midst of the rose petals, and the romantic background music of the record of his guzheng would play out. He would offer her a bouquet of flowers and heartwarmingly reunite with her through this romantic date.

Sadly, the plan was ruined by some fly. Thinking about the scene he witnessed earlier, Linfeng's eyes glinted a bit, but then threw it aside. It was not the right time to spoil the atmosphere.

He has the urge to push her to the wall and roughly kiss her, then ask her what was that all about in between kisses. It appeared like there were some wolves who targeted the precious little lamb that he left at home.

The flies would be taken care of, but not today.

Today was the most awaited day for him and his Zhi'er.

Linfeng's long straight legs stepped forward and his tall body stopped in front of Xiong Zhi, drawing back her attention. Her eyes were shining in delight. This was the first time that he initiated a romantic surprise.

”You prepared this for me?” she asked the obvious.

Linfeng took in Xiong Zhi's joyous face.

She was much more expressive now. She wore a pale rosy dress, with faintly shimmering lights on the edges, just like stars. The stunning dress made her perfectly fit in with the romantic picture, with candle lights and pink and red rose petals. The necklace that he had gifted to her delicately rested below her throat, and highlighted her slender neck.

The sight of the necklace made him want to hug her again. Right, he needed to kiss that, too.

”Yes, did you forget? I promised you something a long time ago.”

”Which one was it?” Xiong Zhi has a question mark on her face.

”Try to think more.”

”...” She tilted her head. Hmm... Ah, there was that. ”You told me that after you return, you will stick with me 24/7, even when I am showering. Is that it?”

Linfeng: ”...” Shit, there was also that.

He coughed. Well, he could not deny that there was also anticipation for 'that'.

To shower together, what else could possibly lead to that except...

He coughed and shook his head with a smile. Ah, focus now, focus.

”...I promised you that once I return, I will make you the happiest girl every day. And this is just the first day. There's a lot more to come,” Linfeng said with a gentle smile.

Xiong Zhi's brows rose and her phoenix eyes curved up in a soft smile. So it was those tiny, sweet promises that made her sleep with a smile.

”But in case you forgot, let me repeat those promises again.”

How could she forget? When they were communicating through media, Linfeng promised her almost every day that once he was back to the country-

”I promised you that once I return I will hug you more than twice a day.” He took a step towards her.

”Hold your hand whenever I want, kiss you as much you allow me to-” Linfeng grinned mischievously at this.

”Cook all the food I learned in the states, of course, your favorite ones too.” He did not forget to add those dishes that Xiong Zhi said she would like to taste during their mealtime through video calls.
