Chapter 3 - We meet again (2/2)
'Where is Linfeng ? Is he still the same Linfeng? Did he also travelled here ?'
”Zhou Min, invite your son to come eat with us. ” her grandfather said pulling her attentions to him.
” Yes, Sir. Linfeng come out introduce yourself to Young miss Zhi.” Zhou Min said to nowhere.
A tall shadow landed, stand up and bowed ninety degrees.
” Zhou Linfeng, pledge my loyalty to the Xiong family. Serving as a reliable aide to the Young Miss Xiong Zhi. ” Linfeng said not raising his head.
Black hair that was slightly curly at the end was covering his face.
Xiong Zhi felt the time was frozen. She stopped breathing, she stopped thinking, she stared at him unmoving.
His figure, his tall stature, all of it. She wanted to engrave it in her mind. She wanted to see his face, caressed it while proclaiming her love that she had never given a chance to say to him in that life.
She missed him....so badly that her heart stopped beating.
Noticing no one answering, Linfeng take a short peek behind his hair. He did not dare to raise his head.
But what he saw startled him.
He knew the rumors about the young miss. Since he was her aide he was told and trained since young to serve this young miss.
He investigate everything about her. Although he had not seen her, he heard about her stunning beauty.
He heard about her cold, indifferent and meek behaviour. She spoke only few words treating it as gold. She had never show any emotions or reactions to anything. Like a lifeless doll.
Unlike any rich young miss who were socializing on the top of the food chain, this girl was alone in her world. No friends, unapproachable.
But the rumors about her not give her a slightly justice.
Her beauty is not just stunning. He had seen countless of beauties while following his father in ballrooms and parties.
But this girl who was younger a year than him had an otherworldly beauty.
Her skin translucent like jade, her jet black hair so straight and look so soft to touch reached at her waist. Without any make up, he can see clearly her bare beautiful face. Her straight nose, her thin kissable lips, her jaw that was carved at perfect shape. And the most that was stunned him was her phoenix eyes surrounded by long eyelashes.
From that beautiful eyes, thousands words seems to speak to him. Many emotions flashed by.
When she closed her eyes, his heart skip a beat. Then it thump so fast. He even hear it loudly in his ears.
'Wha....what's this? Am I sick?'
Linfeng was confused. He cannot describe what he was feeling. He even forgot that he raised his head and stare dumbly at the young miss.
Noticing this, his father rebuke him.
”Outrageous! Who told you to raise your head?!”
”Ahh.....my apologies to Mr. Xiong and to the young miss.” Linfeng hurriedly apologize. He felt foolish. How he stare boldy at the young miss!
”It's alright. No offense taken.” Xiong Zhi tried to gentle her voice to Linfeng but since it was her first time it appeared cold and expressionless.
When he slightly raised his head she clearly saw the face of the man that she missed and love dearly.
His thick brows, his sharp and dark beautiful eyes covered by thick lashes, his tall straight nose, his full red lips, his sharp jaw, every detail in his face was exceptional like a beautiful sculpture carved perfectly. He looked dashing and gorgeous. The familiar face that was only younger.
How could not she notice him, a beautiful awesome man in the beggining? She really lived an empty life. Not knowing what beautiful is.
Closing her eyes, engraving every detail of his perfect face in her heart.
She want to run into him and tightly hug him and say those words that she wanted to say.
But it's not the time. She had to be patient. There still a matter at hand. Until then, she would not hold back her feelings for him.
Opening her eyes, the sharp, cold and penetrating gaze appeared.
She still stare at the man who was now bowing his head.
'Linfeng...seems I only reincarnated this time...but even you don't remember those times, I will make it more precious and unforgettable...
'Linfeng.....atlast.....we meet again....
'This time I will fulfill my promise....I hope you also fulfill yours....'
