Chapter 476 - On the Rooftop (1/2)

The sun was already sinking, the orange-red colors slowly fading into purple and indigo shades, with few stars dotting the sky.

Xiong Zhi had not told him yet, still rousing her courage.

She just felt that telling Linfeng the past life would take a long time. It was a long story after all and she did not know where to begin with.

Linfeng brought Xiong Zhi to his special place in the old mansion.

However, Xiong Zhi no longer walked and was carried up instead.

Earlier, when she looked up and told him that she had something to say, Linfeng noticed that her body trembled.

He immediately insisted on carrying her up, worried that she had strained her body.

Due to that, Xiong Zhi's courage deflated. Currently, she was in the middle of raising her previous determination whether to tell Linfeng her secret while being carried up the stairs.

They arrived at the rooftop of his childhood room in his private wing.

Linfeng's bag contained food, early winter coats, and a thermal blanket, to make sure that the autumn night breeze would not chill Xiong Zhi.

He set up a picnic on the rooftop by his attic.

He personally cooked the food. All of them were his and Xiong Zhi's favorite foods. The food was still piping hot inside the insulated thermal box.

The couple was peacefully eating.

However, Linfeng felt concerned.

Earlier, when she said to him that she had something to talk about, he agreed, but did not immediately let her tell it, in case it was out of impulse.

He wanted this small break to let her calm down and decide calmly to truly tell him, not because she was carried away by the earlier atmosphere. He guessed that it was probably connected to her painful experience, the reason why she cried so sorrowfully last night.

Something definitely happened to her, it should be really bad and traumatic.

It might also be related to her hatred to the father and daughter pair.

Or it could be about the suspicious things she was investigating. It was likely one of those.

Oh, there was also the strange reaction whenever she met Guan Gao Huan.

Linfeng both liked and did not like the fact that Xiong Zhi hated Guan Gao Huan for no reason.

Liked because she definitely guarded against that pervert and hated him.

Did not like because she was too affected by another man, even though in a negative light.

But that was before.

Now, Xiong Zhi belonged to him, her heart, her mind, and her body.

He now liked that Xiong Zhi hated that guy so at least she would never let herself be near him, because Linfeng got an intuition that Guan Gao Huan was no simple person.

Whatever Xiong Zhi wanted to tell Linfeng, it was definitely something very crucial and uncomfortable to her.

He waited for Xiong Zhi to speak.

But the latter did not mention about it.

So Linfeng did not ask her and continued to ease the atmosphere by telling her many anecdotes of his childhood, such as what he usually did when he used to hide in this exclusive hangout.

He told her how much he loved to look at the sky from this place, appreciating the glorious dawn, the golden dusk, and the starry night.

Sometimes, the full moon looked like it was lighting up the whole world.

Xiong Zhi's eyes shone like stars as she listened to each of his stories.

He glanced at her, silently thinking.

Would telling him the story be really alright for her?

She was usually courageous, but she seemed to avoid this topic always.

Yes, he was curious.

He was dying to know about it...but.
