Chapter 6 - T I H S

Hearing his answer, Xiong Zhi caught a glimpse of his heart. He did not say what was in his heart. Xiong Zhi could hear it. She remembered when Linfeng died in the past, Linfeng blamed himself for being born low and did not have the power to protect her. She understood it now. Why did Linfeng say those words? Linfeng must have felt like his wings were 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 back from what he wanted to do, she felt pain. In the past, Linfeng never gained his freedom. He never did what he wanted to do. He lived all his life for someone else. He even died for 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 flustered 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 so high and do what you want. Why not promise yourself like I promise to my grandfather? You're capable than I. You can do it. They cannot stop you from what you want 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 wanted to hear? It was coming out of her mouth. His heart was moved. He felt like someone did understand him. Like what he wished was not outrageous and ridiculous. He felt like he took one step closer to his dream. But how did Young miss know of it? He did not say anything else, right? Why did she say that? 'Can she see me through? I thought I had 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 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 a loss. He cannot call her by her name. If he did that, the Xiongs 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 a few minutes. This High School was the biggest, most advanced, and famous high school in the country. All students were from prominent families. From the son of the prime minister, the military, politics, famous doctors and lawyers, and big business companies. Inside of school, there was a 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-ranking military and political families. On top were the heirs of big companies, including their aides. In other words, their ranking was not about how high your grades are, but how wealthy you are. Since it was a school for the rich elite, the school did its justice. The TIHS lives up to its reputation as one of the biggest schools 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 to the next department. As the school for 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 school uniform approached 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 students must go to re, and places where they can sightsee. Every student was assisted by the school's personnel. When they arrived at a certain big building, the personnturnedurn 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 made their way out. As he said, another personnel member assisted them. The personnel led 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 the bag. "Young miss, we will part here. If you need anything, just gicallme a cal, " he gave her a phone. "My number is already here. I will be fast as soon as you call. Please wait for me here for half an hour after your class. I will take you home. And also, when the break comes, wait for me 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 placed the phone to her ear. Seemingly understanding what the young miss wants, Linfeng answered 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 her lifetime. Linfeng, witnessing her first smile, was dumbstruck. He knew stunningly beautiful she was. But with that small smile, it lifted her cold face. It enhanced her attractive features further. 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 had hit Linfeng's heart hard and left him dumbfounded.
