Chapter 6 - T I H S
Hearing his answer, Xiong Zhi caught a glimpse of his heart. Even he did not say what was in his heart. Xiong Zhi could hear it. She remembered when Linfeng died at the past, Linfeng blamed himself of being born low and did not have power to protect her.
She understood it now. Why Linfeng said those words. Linfeng must felt like his wings was cut off and he was chained to the Xiong.
Xiong Zhi lowered her eyes. She wanted Linfeng to stay by her side. But seeing Linfeng holding himself from what he wanted to do, she felt pain.
In the past, Linfeng never gain his freedom. He never did want he really wanted to do. He lived all his life for someone else. He even died for that someone else.
In this life, she promised to love Linfeng, including giving him happiness.
And his happiness was his freedom.
Having another goal, she looked at the fl.u.s.tered Linfeng.
"En....there will be a time in the future when you will not need to bow to Xiong anymore. You don't need their approval to prove yourself to them. Just sore high and do what you want. Why not promise yourself like I promise to my grandfather? You're capable than me. You can do it. They cannot stop you for what you wanted to do. " She sincerely said to Linfeng.
'Linfeng, in this lifetime, let's do what we want...let's live this life without regrets.'
Linfeng looked at Xiong Zhi. Those words that he really wanted to hear?was coming out from her mouth. His heart was moved.
He felt like someone did understand him. Like what he wish was not outrageous and ridiculous. He felt like he take one step to his dream.
But how did Young miss know of it?
He did not say anything else right? Why did she said that?
'Can she see me through? I thought I already mastered the art of expression. This girl? cannot be underestimated.'
Nevertheless, Linfeng felt grateful to Young Miss.
He smiled sincerely at her while saying:
"Young Miss is really kind. I will take it to heart."
"Zhi'er" Xiong Zhi pestered.
"Young Mi---"
"Zhi'er"
"Pardon me---"
"Zhi'er"
"...."
"...."
Xiong Zhi turned away her head and looked outside the window. Her actions were clear. She would not talk to him and ignored him if he did not call her name.
Throughout the ride, silence reigned. The driver let out a breath. He can finally relax. He witnessed incredible things today. Their young miss spoke and said many words. He witnessed their young miss let out an emotion. He even saw in his own eyes their young miss worry, encourage, and act like a spoiled child.
The driver looked at Linfeng in the mirror.
'And all of it is because of this boy...is their young miss like this boy? That's surely a bomb!'
(A/N : Nice one driver! Jackpot!)
Linfeng was at lost. He cannot call her by her name. If he did that, the Xiong may think he did not respect them. So he kept quiet and let Xiong Zhi ignore her.
They arrived at the Tiān cái International High School (TIHS) in few minutes.
***[RR] : Seriously A/N, why do we feel like you have grudge in that school? *** [1]
(A/N : It's just a coincidence, sorry :} )
This High School was the biggest, most advance, and famous HS throughout the country. All students were from prominent families. From the son of the prime minister, militaries, politics, famous doctors and lawyers, and big business companies.
Inside of school, there was hierarchy.
Below the food chain, were the sons and daughters of lawyers, doctors, and celebrities. In the middle, were the sons and daughters from high rank militaries and politics. On the top, were the heirs of big companies including their aides.
In other words, their ranking was not about how high your grades, but how wealthy you are.
Since it was school of rich elites the school did it's justice. The TIHS really live up to its reputation as one of the biggest school in the country. It occupied 1/4 of the capital city.
The students need to travel at least 10 minutes if they have to go the next department.
As the school of the richest students, every corner was clean and luxurious.
Even the parking lot was ridiculously big and wide. Once their car was parked, an assistant wearing a suit from the school approach them and assisted them.
Since it was the first day of school, the assistant talked politely on their way introducing the school, recommending the place where student must go to rest and places where they can sightsee.
Every student was assisted by the school's personnel.
When they arrived at a certain big building, the personnel turn to them.
"This is the junior's building. Someone will receive you at the front, sir and ma'am." The personnel bowed slightly and discreetly make his way out.
As he said, another personnel assisted them. The personnel lead them in front of a room.
"This is your room, ma'am Xiong." Then the personnel turn away and assist another student.
Linfeng gave her bag to her.
"Young miss, we will part here. If you need anything just give me a call. " he gave her a phone.
"My number is already here. I will be fast as soon as you call. Please wait me here half an hour after your class. I will take you home. And also when break comes, wait me for here. Let's get lunch together. I hope you enjoy your class. I'll take my leave young miss. " Linfeng said and turned around.
He started to walk when his phone rang.
EMERGENCY
He turned around and glanced at Xiong Zhi. He started to walk to her when Xiong Zhi place the phone in her ear. Seemingly understanding what the young miss wants, Linfeng answer the call while looking at her.
He stood just a few steps away from her.
" At least call me Zhi'er if we're alone."? Xiong Zhi said.
Linfeng was stunned for a moment. But from that distance he could see her stubbornness. Having no choice he sighed.
" If that's what young miss wants. See you later, Zhi'er."
Finally hearing his endearment to her, she smiled.
It was her first smile in both lifetime.
Linfeng witnessing her first smile was dumbstruck.
He knew how stunning beautiful she was. But with that small smile, it lifted up her cold face. It enhanced her attractive features more. That even the surroundings changed beautifully.
She looked so ethereal.
Linfeng's heart beats dramatically. He can't help but engrave this beautiful scene in his heart.
He stared at her for a long time. Not realizing that he was late.
Xiong Zhi ended the call and walked towards her room not realizing she hit hard Linfeng's heart and left him dumbfounded.
