章節 34: Preparation
"Operation-Seducing Linfeng?"
Xiong Zhi looked at the poster. There was some bullet points in it, notes, drawings and even the do's and don't's. She could understand it in one glance. But, she still need an elaboration. Then she notice the other poster in Xuantin's hands.
'For plan B?'
Song Xuantin saw her gaze and quickly hide away the other poster.
"It's not for you." But Xiong Zhi would not take that. What if its a back up plan? She needed everything that could help her in her love problem.
"Then let me see."
Song Xuantin bit her lips. Xiong Zhi would know it anyway.
So she opened the poster. Xiong Zhi read it clearly.
"Operation-Seducing Gu Zhen?"
Ehh...?
The plans, notes, and plot were also the same.
'Don't tell me...'
"Double date?"
Song Xuantin nodded.
"En. You need to invite Linfeng as it is a friendly occasion. If he saw that we are only two, he will leave early but if some male accompany us he might stay."
'Then why it must be Gu Zhen?'
Xiong Zhi just smirked inwardly. So this girl, was also cunning. Making Xiong Zhi her best friend for one reason-getting close to Gu Zhen.
"And since I was helping you, as a best friend you must also help me. Invite Gu Zhen too. I know you have ways, you are a Xiong. Besides, we will split half way. So we can be alone with our man!"
Xiong Zhi just nodded. She had ways to make Gu Zhen came. Also, it was a good plan. She needed to invite Linfeng now.
"Where this operation occurs?"
Sing Xuantin smiled to Xiong Zhi.
"This weekend."
________________________________
The sun's ray warmth the morning accompanied by the cool wind, birds started singing from afar creating a serene and comfortable morning.
A girl was standing in front of the mirror. Her eyes reflected determination and unwavering look.
'Today, I must invite Linfeng.'
Tomorrow was weekend, Saturday. Tomorrow was an important day for Xiong Zhi. Her future love relationship depends for what would happen tomorrow.
Fixing her tie, she get readied for what would happen today and went downstairs.
The black maybach parked in front of junior's building. However, after minutes later, Xiong Zhi did not get out of the car but sat unmoving staring hard at Linfeng. Fortunately, Linfeng got used to the stares of Xiong Zhi.
"Young miss Zhi, do you have something to ask to me?" Linfeng said. It was usual to be stared at by his young miss, but not to the point that they would be late. This time he was sure that the young miss wanted to ask something.
"En. Do you have something to do later?"
Linfeng checked his schedule today in his mind.
"En. I have meeting to attend to later. But if young miss wanted me to run an errand. I would do it first."
Linfeng suggested.
"No need. Please do everything you need today. I-I have something to ask a favor for you t-tomorrow." Xiong Zhi said a bit nervous in the last sentence. In both lifetimes, this is the first time that she initiated an invite to Linfeng. Even she was determined she could not help but be a little nervous. Her mind kept repeating a negative question - what if Linfeng declined?
'No. He will be there tomorrow.'
Having another courage. She asked again.
"I have made a new friends. We will be going out. But it is my first time going out with friends. I don't know what should I do. Or how to act around them. C-can you accompany me tomorrow?" Xiong Zhi looked at Linfeng while biting her lips. She was cursing that negative question that repeating in her mind.
"I-I will be more comfortable if you are with me tomorrow." She sincerely added.
Linfeng stared at Xiong Zhi. His young miss was usually cold and indifferent outside. Her usual expression was still the same, cold and indifferent with a nobility aura around her but her eyes that always unreadable had a hesitant and nervous look. With every blink of her eyes, with her long lashes covering her feelings inside, with her lips that tightly sealed telling him she was holding on from saying more, with her pleading, hesitant yet lovely look. All of this made Linfeng's heart skip a beat. He could not answer for a while not after his young miss said that his mere existence was comfortable to his young miss. His heart warmed and a tingling feeling was slowly crept up to his being.
Then he remember to answer.
"Of course. If young miss wants I'll be there."
Xiong Zhi's face lit up instantly and a lovely sincere smile appear on her beautiful face.
"Thank you." She said sincerely.
That smile unexpectedly made him flushed. Heat traveled through his body, his heart was in a marathon and his ears were hot and undoubtedly red. He looked down to hide this.
"It's my pleasure young miss. I think we should go now the bell already rang." Looking up at her again, not a trace of what he was feeling inside could be seen in his expression except for his red ears.
Xiong Zhi just nodded and came out. Exhaling a breath that he did not know he was holding he followed Xiong Zhi.
Linfeng went out from the junior's building. While walking to the black maybach he dialed a number. After the two rings, the person on the other side picked up the phone.
"Can't believe you called me first?! Is there an emergency?" The other side said enthusiastically.
"Do I have a meeting tomorrow?" Linfeng directly asked.
"Ah. Wait...yes..the INDY Imperfectu-"
"Cancel it. Tell them I'll be available later in the evening or next Saturday."
"Eh? But it is signing tomorrow. They are a bi-"
"But they need us more. Remember, we must be the superior one. If we act like they are a big deal they will demand more. If they don't want our arrangement then cancel the contract. No need to sign." Then Linfeng ended the call.
He rode the car quietly. No one would notice the slightly curl of his lips. He looked outside the window, his mind was still replaying the girl's words earlier.
" I will be more comfortable if you are with me "
Not holding it anymore, a smile broke out from his lips.
________________
When she came into the room, she already knew she would suffer today.
"Did you already ask Gu Zhen? How about senior Linfeng? You have not forgotten are you? Do you prepare for something to wear tomorrow? Who's ca-"
Xiong Zhi stand up with every strength she could. As a result, she banged her knee accidentally at the leg of the long table. It produce a loud sound and a grunt from her.
'Ouch!'
She glared hard at Song Xuantin blaming her for her misfortune.
"Why glare at me? Glare at the table for being blind." Song Xuantin defended herself.
Xiong Zhi just shut her mouth tightly and cursed inwardly. Aside from that beast, and her scheming relative, she did not cursed at anyone. Now, Song Xuantin was an additional. When she came earlier, she was in the good mood. She answer patiently all Xuantin questions regarding for tomorrow. But when she said she haven't ask Gu Zhen, the girl beside her forgotten all the questions she asked earlier and asked her again for the third f@cking time!
Ignoring the stares of her classmates and her teacher for her sudden movement. She went to Gu Zhen's table. If she delayed any longer her patience would snap and she might use her surname to throw Song Xuantin to another country, far way from her eardrums.
She stopped in front of Gu Zhen's table and slammed her hand hard on it. A key appeared after her hand left.
"Do. Me. A. Favor. Come. With. Me. Tomorrow. Extra One week to my office. " and then she went back to her table ignoring the confused gaze of Gu Zhen , the bewilderment of her teacher and classmates and an excited Xuantin.
Song Xuantin made a good move after that incidence, she did not bother Xiong Zhi anymore.
