To Love You Again

Chapter 98 - A talk

The sun was high up in the sky. The wind was not hot but cool to the skin.

Two shadows intertwined from time to time.

Xiong Zhi was savoring the blissful moment she has with Linfeng. At this moment, the two walked from the coffee shop to the park while discussing the plan they have for this trial.

Suddenly remembering something, Xiong Zhi asked Linfeng.

"Are you free next weekend?"

'Next weekend?'

Even though Linfeng was busy every weekend he still answered.

"Yes. I'm available."

As his father said, he needs to get his thoughts together and assist his young miss whenever possible.

Xiong Zhi smiled a little.

"That's good."

Xiong Zhi remembered that Song Xuantin earned her a plan for Operation 2. Song Xuantin might be busy as her love life was on track. That's not a problem for Xiong Zhi. As long as she spent a lot of time with Linfeng, she was happy. Who knew maybe Linfeng would slowly fall for her.

Xiong Zhi could not help but reminisce about the past.

There was silence between them.

Linfeng felt that Xiong Zhi fell on deep thoughts.

'Is she still worrying about Artworld?'

Linfeng worried about Xiong Zhi. What Xiong Zhi wants for this project was a big risk.

His eyes slowly looked at Xiong Zhi who was on his left.

But then, he did not expect that Xiong Zhi was staring at him.

Shocked, Linfeng looked ahead and blurted nonsense.

"I-I don't know you played Guzheng."

Linfeng bites his tongue from saying more.

'Sh#t. Why the heck I said that?'

He wanted to curse himself for replaying that day with Xiong Zhi. He doesn't want to replay the scene with her. The confession, the rejection, and his embarrassment.

Even though deep in his mind he wondered how Xiong Zhi learned to play Guzheng.

Linfeng was a good player in Guzheng too. He was amazed at Xiong Zhi's skills at the banquet. He was curious as well about the deep emotions that Xiong Zhi let out when she played the Guzheng at the balcony that day.

But, there are things that he should not ask.

So he tried to change the topic.

"How's your preparation for midterm-"

"I've learned it because someone taught me too."

Xiong Zhi answered cutting him off. She too wanted to know what happened to Linfeng that day.

"Someone taught you?" Linfeng was a bit stunned.

From young, his father let him study who are the people Xiong Zhi was encountering every day. He knew all her butlers, maids, instructors, and her relatives. He knew as well that Xiong Zhi doesn't have a teacher for Guzheng.

So who taught her?

"He is great at playing Guzheng. He has a lot of patience when he taught me. "

Xiong Zhi's eyes were staring at Linfeng's face. But Linfeng felt that she was looking far away.

"It was actually an accident. I heard a wonderful music from my balcony. I followed it. That's when I caught him playing. " Xiong Zhi smiled a little.

It was a funny memory.

Xiong Zhi could still remember the shock expression of Linfeng at that time. She showed up at his front door in the middle of the night. Just asking what instrument he was playing.

"I can't sleep at that time. He doesn't have a choice but to teach me some basics. We don't sleep all night." Xiong Zhi laughed a little. Her white teeth and dimples were showing.

Linfeng stared at Xiong Zhi. His young miss was really beautiful. But she was ten times more beautiful when she laughed like this.

'She is so happy.'

It was his first time witnessing Xiong Zhi's laughter.

'Who is he? To make her laugh like that.'

He wanted to know who was that man. Linfeng was already thinking how he would investigate this man.

"That's the first time and the last time he taught me. We don't have time to spare for playing guzheng. As everything is starting to crumble."

Linfeng was following Xiong Zhi's walking pace. But he took note of what Xiong Zhi was saying.

'Start to crumble?'

He also felt that Xiong Zhi got silent and sad.

"Anyway, guzheng become my medium. I hate it at the same time I love it. " Xiong Zhi tried to cheer up. She doesn't want to ruin their moment by being sad.

Linfeng got curious.

"Why hate it?"

Xiong Zhi abruptly stopped walking.

A person's image came to her mind.

Unconsciously, she clenched her fist.

Linfeng noticed it.

'What is it?'

Lin Feng wanted to know. So he tried to probe more.

"Was it because of the same man?"

Xiong Zhi was stunned. She looked back at Linfeng.

'Does he know? Does he know about Gao Huan? How? Did he get his past life's memories back?'

Xiong Zhi has many questions. But she just stared at Linfeng with shock and hopeful eyes.

Linfeng asked more.

"The man you're talking about. The man who taught you guzheng. Was he the reason why you hate it? What did he do to you?"

Xiong Zhi's eyes turned to disappointment. Then relief.

She continued walking. Linfeng followed.

"No. It was not because of him. The man who taught me only brings me good memories. Except for the last one."

Linfeng just stayed silent as Xiong Zhi told her tale.

If possible, Xiong Zhi wanted to tell Linfeng about their past. There are a lot of bad memories. But their precious memories also existed in a past lifetime.

Xiong Zhi for the first time felt that having the memory of the past life was painful while the person you loved don't have any memory of it.

But still...

She was glad she had a second chance.

Even Linfeng doesn't remember a thing. Even there's a possibility that he would not love her back.

Xiong Zhi turned around to face Linfeng.

Linfeng stopped walking.

The wind blows between them.

"What will you do if someone you love could not remember you? If the person you love forgets all the things you went through together. That even the love she has for you is forgotten. What will you do?"

Xiong Zhi asked Linfeng seriously.

"If I love that person then I will do everything to make her remember me. If she can't, then I will make her fall for me. I'll chase her love until she loves me back. If I'm willing to die with her. Then doing this, would be nothing."

Linfeng doesn't know why but he felt that his answer come from the bottom of his heart. It comes from the deep sea of his soul. His heart could not help but pound loudly.

Xiong Zhi smiled. Her white teeth were showing as well as her dimples. It was the biggest smile she ever makes.

"I thought so too."

The wind blows once more.
