Chapter 43 - Operation-Seducing Linfeng: The Date (VIII)

They came in the horror booth before the sun was setting. Now, the sun already settled. Street lights of every booth and stall lighted up the surrounding. There are still many people and looked like the night would be a long day.

"It's seven pm. Do you want to go home now?" Linfeng asked.

Xiong Zhi shake her head.

"Let's eat first then let's go to the Ferris wheel. "

They ate until they were full and they went to the long line.

After one hour of waiting. Finally, it was their turn. Sitting together inside the ferris wheel, Xiong Zhi's mind was racing. This move, again, was of course, in Song Xuantin suggestion. Song Xuantin said, " since we are in the amus.e.m.e.nt park don't forget to ride in ferris wheel. That is the wheel of fate. If you watch romance movies, dramas, and read novels and manga, that is where the part the two leads confessed to each other, and if you're lucky you'll get a kiss! Kyaahh!!" And Xuantin was immersed in her own world.

Xiong Zhi let out a breath and peeked at Linfeng. Linfeng was looking outside down the city lights. He was silent with his own thoughts. Does he look like a man who were to confessed his love towards her?,Xiong Zhi cringed at that thought. Interacting with Linfeng today she knew well that the man was heavily guarded and it would take time for him to grow his feelings for her. But she hoped that the seed she planted today is a good, strong, and unbreakable seed. She need to take care of it. So for now, let's not water it too much (a/n :,she mean here to not attack on full force like confessing at Linfeng).

Xiong Zhi inched closer to Linfeng. She watched the beautiful street lights. They were like stars with different colors against the dark sky. She looked up, the night was clear and stars were glowing brightly. A beautiful sight . she could not help but ask.

"What is more beautiful? The sight below or the scenery above?"

Linfeng turned to Xiong Zhi. Seeing she was looking above, he also glance up and stared a the sea of stars.

"Beautiful..." He muttered.

Xiong Zhi turn away her gaze and look at him.

Linfeng's eyes reflected the lights of the stars in his eyes. His upper chin and slender neck was exposed , the lights from the ferris wheel illuminated him. He was like a prince wishing at the wishing star.

"Beautiful indeed..." Xiong Zhi muttered. Then she asked again.

"What did you prefer?"

Linfeng turned to her. And really thought hard about it.

"Of course I like the natural things above, no once could match how beautiful it is-" he said glancing? up the stars again.

Then he looked down at the city lights who were remarkably beautiful as well.

"--But if every city lights below was created by your hands, seeing how they shimmered brightly against the dark night, is it more beautiful than those stars? When you glance up----" he glance up towards the sky.

"---you want to reach those stars, things that were unreachable, somehow, when you realized they are things that you can never reach, you will be disappointed, helpless, and defeated. But if you look down--",he glanced down again.

"And see the things you've created shone brightly, does it make you feel satisfaction, achievement and proud of yourself.? A happiness will be sprouted in me whenever I think those." He said truthfully, not realizing he was exposing a part of himself.

Xiong Zhi's eyes emitted loneliness at first but it quickly passed. She knew so well how much Linfeng wanted to fly high, to find himself with no shackles on. And she will support him. She was just a bit sad because first, he did not do it in the past , second, in order to do it, he need to stay distant to her, the source of those shackles.

After her mind done with its calculation, her eyes were now filled with unwavering determination. Her eyes sparkled brightly than the stars.

She looked at the city lights below and said.

"En. I understand how you feel. If these city lights was created by you, I'll happily watch it every night. If I can, I'll help you to build more and never lose it light. Just--" then she turned to Linfeng.

Linfeng was also looking at her. Staring at her sparkling eyes while waiting for her words.

"---just don't stay away from me."

Linfeng's heart beat erratically. He could even hear his own heartbeat.

He wanted to ask why? 'Why spending so much effort to me? Why will you help me? Don't you understand you'll going to be hurt? I'm your aide! I should be nothing in your eyes! Why spend this day with me? Why...why my heart felt so full yet pained? Why this heart so disobedient!'

He look away. He did not want Xiong Zhi to see his wavering eyes. His confused gaze. He knew well, he could not promise that...there will come to a time where he will leave the Xiong and battled them for his rights and freedom. Eventually, he will hurt the girl. Thinking of the future that may happen, his heart was squeezing. Like it was rebelling to him. This...this the reason why he did not want to be with her today. She is a great distraction. A big hole in the road that if he was not looking carefully he might fall. Now, he was falling. But no! There are still many things that he have to do. This....is ....just.....an...infatuation. Indeed, infatuation. It will be gone as time pass. He compose himself and reminded this to him.

He looked at Xiong Zhi and smiled.

"Thank you. I appreciate it." He said not promising anything.

Xiong Zhi's eyes dimmed a bit. However it was quickly gone, her eyes shone brightly again.

'No matter . it is only day 1. Part one. There are still many chances to come .'

She smiled brightly.

"I'm saying it seriously. And it will stand in the future." Her smile was so dazzling that Linfeng could not take it. His heart was betraying him again.

Big thump! Big thump!

"I--" Big thump! Big thump!

Shut up heart beat!

"I--"

Ding

Saved by the bell. The ferris wheel stopped and the door opened. The stuff gestured them to come out.

Linfeng breathed heavily, he was so relieved. He did not know what to say at that time.

They went out. Xiong Zhi held Linfeng's hands again. It was only a natural thing today since they were holing hands for the whole day. But this time? Linfeng felt it was different. There is an electric current coming from her . His mind was kept thinking of their intertwined hands. He could not help but glance at it again and again to find out what was different. He just felt...so aware . Then he glance up at Xiong Zhi's flawless face. Sensing a gaze at her, she return his stare with a dazzling smile. And once again, his heart beat rapidly.

Ohh..could he survive the remaining days?
