Chapter 854: The Future Awaits
Chapter 854: The Future Awaits
Amidst, her thoughts, Linfeng came back with the soup.
"A lot of them are awake now. But like you, they are wasted. After you finish the soup, rest for a while. If you are hungry, I can cook for you." Linfeng did not mention that Lu Yin Ze drop by to ask them to join the group for breakfast.
His Zhi'er was too weak to move.
Xiong Zhi stared at Linfeng.
Although Linfeng looked haggard, his charm and handsomeness were exceptional that every woman would be willing to jump into him.
His soft smile and gentle gaze reminded Xiong Zhi of a beautiful future that awaits for her with this man.
She weakly smile and nodded.
What's there to think about?
Didn't she come back to the past and ask for a second chance to get a happy ending with this loveable man?
Now that Linfeng was alive and well, her wish had been granted.
Xiong Zhi's stare was a bit overwhelming that Linfeng was a bit embarrassed.
"Am I really that handsome in the morning?" He asked jokingly.
"Yeah. Super duper." Xiong Zhi answered with a solemn expression.
Linfeng: "..."
That took him by surprise.
He chuckled to ease his shyness and handed her the bowl. "Where did you learn to flirt with me like that?"
"Song Xuantin."
Xiong Zhi obediently drank the hangover soup with a bitter expression. The slight movement was causing her to heave.
Linfeng sighed helplessly and massaged her hand. "It's my fault for not stopping you from drinking too much. This won't happen again."
Xiong Zhi shook her head but stopped midway due to dizziness, "I only drank little compared to others and you took my share of drinks many times. Besides, it's very rare for us to drink as if there's no tomorrow. I can't just not drink and be a grinch. It's unfair to everyone."
Linfeng could only shook his head with a smile. Now that he thought of it, his young miss had truly changed from the first time he met her.
In the past, Xiong Zhi won't even care what others think about her or won't even bother about what they felt. But now, she was adjusting for her friends and having fun with them like what spirited young people do.
Sometimes, life should not be too perfect to achieve true happiness.
Linfeng helped Xiong Zhi to alleviate her headache.
Xiong Zhi patted the space next to her. "Sleep with me again. You still have bags under your eyes. I bet you did not sleep well because of me, huh?"
Linfeng's lips twitched.
'If you only remember what kind of play you did last night....'
But looking at an innocent Xiong Zhi, Linfeng felt defeated. He kissed her forehead and left for a bath.
In the end, the two eat a small breakfast in the room after Linfeng's bath. Xiong Zhi helped him dry his hair even though the latter rejected. But Xiong Zhi insisted.
They shared the bed again and faced each other.
Although Linfeng was fully awake, he wanted to accompany his girlfriend to sleep. Xiong Zhi on the other hand wanted Linfeng to sleep more. Because she knew the man did not get enough sleep while she was dead drunk.
Xiong Zhi stared at the arm that was in front of her. She could see the hideous wounds.
Before, she thought keeping this scar was awfully right. It served as a reminder and a punishment to her. But after the dream, her mind changed.
The deity was right.
Their fate had already changed. She must not be chained to the past. Every action and decision she would make would contribute to her future.
This scar....it's time to let it heal.
"Linfeng."
"Hmm?"
"...What kind of future do you see?"
Linfeng did not have to think too hard. "A future where I see you."
Xiong Zhi smiled. "Me too."
"With a bunch of kids."
"Bunch?"
"Yeah. Like four or five kids?"
"...Are you planning to build a team and make them fight Tang Xinyang's and Song Xuantin's sons and daughters?"
Xiong Zhi once heard from Tang Xinyang her dream of having a big family with Jang Shin. She even said that she would not let Jang Shin rest until they made five children!
Song Xuantin on the other hand wanted to see many little versions of Gu Zhen. The two even joked that they would make a soccer team and compete.
Xiong Zhi just learned that Linfeng also has this idea.
She was the only child and so was Linfeng. So she thought Linfeng would want a small family.
Perhaps...she had joined that discussion too?
Linfeng chuckled at that thought. "It's not a bad idea. I would like it if our children looks after you."
"I would like it more if they look after you."
"Hmm. How about two of them look after me, then the four of them look after you?"
"...Why did it become six?"
Linfeng smiled mischievously, "The last one is born because of an unexpected night when you are drunk and attacked me-" Linfeng halted. "Ah right, this made me remember. If you ever attack me despite the circumstances, would I have permission to defend and counterattack in any way I please?"
Xiong Zhi: "...."
What does he mean?
"Like last night. You are very feisty. I have to tie your hands because you won't stop touching me. If you aren't drunk, I might have taken you that time. Agh, what a waste of opportunity."
Xiong Zhi: "..."
So that's why she saw that flash of memory. Did Linfeng really held back?
Xiong Zhi tapped Linfeng's nose. "Of course. As your body is mine, my body is also yours. This also reminds me...." Xiong Zhi looked at her arm. The heinous scar was still there.
"I decided to treat this scar."
Linfeng was stunned. His eyes brighten with this news. "Really? You finally will get rid of that 'Lu'!"
Xiong Zhi chuckled. "So you are more concerned that a character Lu is written on me?"
Linfeng took her arm and kissed her scar. "Yes. 'Linfeng' is better than 'Lu'. " He then gave another kiss and left a kiss mark on Xiong Zhi's skin. "See? My mark is better."
Linfeng's sheepish smile looked so cute that Xiong Zhi could not help herself but kissed that adorable smile in delight.
Smooch.
"You are right. You are much better."
Linfeng felt the sweetness in his heart was overwhelming. He hugged Xiong and kissed her head. "I am so happy that you are finally willing to get rid of this scar."
Linfeng knew the meaning and the burden this scar held.
Xiong Zhi was keeping this scar as a sign of not forgiving herself. It was unbearable for Linfeng to look at.
Every time Xiong Zhi glanced at this scar, she would always be constantly reminded of that tragic incident and the lives that were lost. That sin that Lu Jin carries...Xiong Zhi also carries them.
Linfeng only wanted Xiong Zhi to live happily without any worries. So it breaks his heart every time he saw this scar.
Now he was really genuinely happy that Xiong Zhi finally wanted to let go of the bitter past.
She could finally live for herself now.
"I am truly happy."
