To Love You Again

When the main character of tonight's event and the clown left, the room full of drunken people turned silent.

Bivia Chang had a great alcohol tolerance so she could still talk despite the heavy eyelids and dizziness, "Are you guys...still alive?"

Tang Yin gave a hiccup as an answer and Guan Gu Ri chuckled out of nowhere.

Linfeng was the most sober in the room. He could not move since he was supporting Xiong Zhi in his arms. So he called the Lu butlers to send the drunken people to their room.

The drunk Bivia insisted to be princess-carried, while Tang Yin would not let go of the guitar. It was only Guan Gu Ri who was smiling strangely that followed the butler peacefully.

In the end, Bivia Chang's wish was answered. She was princess-carried by one of the butlers and Tang Yin was carried with the inseparable guitar in her arms.

"Sir, do you need help?" One of the butlers came to Linfeng's side and offered to help in carrying Xiong Zhi.

Linfeng shook his head, "No need. Just lead us to our room."

The butler nodded and lead the way.

They stopped in front of the guest room. "This room is designated for the Lady and the room next to it is prepared for you, Sir. Here's the key for the next room."

Lu Yin Ze clearly knew that Linfeng and Xiong Zhi were inseparable but he still prepared a separate room for them.

Linfeng accepted, but he have no intention to leave the drunk Xiong Zhi alone in the room.

"Thank you."

Xiong Zhi was quiet all the way. Although she would open her eyes a little bit, she would then close them. Her world was spinning and her head feels heavy.

She felt hot and uncomfortable. She struggled to get out of that strong pair of arms. But the more she struggled, the tighter the hold becomes.

"We are almost there," Linfeng comforted her in a low voice.

Hearing the familiar gentle voice, Xiong Zhi stopped struggling and seek comfort from that voice. She adjusted herself in Linfeng's arms and hugged his neck. She rested her head on his chest.

Linfeng's steps were still steady despite Xiong Zhi's snuggling.

He put her down on the bed gently. However, the arms around his neck had no intention of letting him go.

Linfeng tried to pry off her arms as gently as he could, but Xiong Zhi just tightened her hold.

Linfeng who was choking: "...."

He waited for a few minutes until Xiong Zhi's arms softened her hold, but a long time had passed and Xiong Zhi did not let go. She even slept in this strange position.

Linfeng knew that Xiong Zhi would have sore arms if this continued, so he slowly nudge her to wake up.

"Zhi'er...Zhi'er...you have to let go for a moment so I can wash you."

"..." Only a slight 'hmm' answered Linfeng.

He tried to pry off her arms again, this time Xiong Zhi opened her eyes abruptly.

Her eyes were dazed and have no focus, but there was irritation in her eyes as if waking her up was a big mistake.

Being stared at by those eyes, Linfeng stiffend.

His heartbeat rose.

Xiong Zhi had never given him this kind of glare. For some reason, this gaze was so adorable and a bit...sensual. With the added fact that their body was close, Linfeng felt his senses were burning.

How could it be possible that one threatening glare from Xiong Zhi could send a shiver down his spine?

It's not fear but rather...an excitement that Linfeng could not explain.

"Zhi'er? Can you move now? I have to bathe you."

Linfeng successfully pried off Xing Zhi's arms and proceed to take off her top.

Despite the burning desire he was feeling, he could still control himself well. His young miss would be more comfortable if she was bathed before sleeping.

His desire and comfort could be solved at another time.

As he unfastened the second button from Xiong Zhi's shirt, a pair of hands stopped him.

Linfeng: "..."

He looked up to meet Xiong Zhi's drunken eyes. Her hand caught his.

Xiong Zhi slowly sat up on the bed. She squinted her eyes and leaned her face closer to Linfeng's. "Who's this...handsome man?"

Linfeng was speechless. He then chuckled.

His Zhi'er knows how to flirt when drunk?

How cute.

Linfeng went along with her. "It's your future husband."

Xiong Zhi blinked. "We are not married yet? How come?"

Linfeng: "...."

Was she complaining that they aren't married yet?

The two of them already have their engagement rings. But since many things have to be done, they weren't able to have a proper engagement party or discuss the date of their marriage.

No, to be exact, Linfeng hasn't proposed formally to Xiong Zhi.

They haven't been able to have a vacation with two of them alone ever since the incident.

Linfeng felt guilty. So all this time, his girlfriend was just enduring and waiting?

Linfeng promised himself to quickly finish his work this week and have a grand plan for a vacation where they could spend their time alone with no worries in their mind.

Now that Lu Jin was released, there's nothing holding him back now. They could escape from all these responsibilities and have quality time with her. He could propose to Xiong Zhi then.

Linfeng touched Xiong Zhi's cheek with a doting gaze. "We will be. I won't make you wait for long." He put his forehead on hers. "Now that we have done our best for others, it's time for us to be selfish now."

Xiong Zhi took a deep breath and inhaled his fragrance. But then she frowned. "You smell like alcohol."

Linfeng chuckled. "Aren't you smelling both of us?"

He tilted her chin and slowly approached her lips. "Our breath is one after all." He then kissed her lightly.

Xiong Zhi closed his eyes and savor the fleeting kiss. But it ended quickly which made her frown deeper. She tugged on his blazer and complained. "More...."

Linfeng: "...."

His young miss was acting coquettish, how could he resist?

So he met her lips once more and this time he deepened the kiss.

He only wanted to kiss her gently and long but Xiong Zhi was aggressive. When Linfeng was about to give her time to breathe, she unexpectedly pulled him closer and used her tongue to work the wonders.

Xiong Zhi and Linfeng often kissed. But they have these unspoken rules between them when it comes to kissing.

When the couple doesn't want to end up in bed, they only make light kisses, long but gentle kisses, or deep kisses without invading each other's mouth.

Because once one of them invaded the other, it was an invitation to do something more. And Linfeng who always fell victim to Xiong Zhi's tongue could hardly control himself whenever it happens.

Linfeng groaned in satisfaction and in pain. He held Xiong Zhi's shoulders and separate himself from her.

Both of them were out of breath.

Linfeng stared at those dazed eyes helplessly. "Not fair."

Xiong Zhi: ???

Linfeng stood up and tried to calm down the fire inside his body. "Can you bath yourself?"

Xiong Zhi tried to stand up but she swayed. Her mind was still spinning.

Linfeng helplessly sighed. He needed to bathe Xiong Zhi by himself.

Can he restrain himself?

There's no way he would take the drunk Xiong Zhi. If he was going to the deed, he wanted both of them to be sober.

"Agh...this is torture." He carried Xiong Zhi towards the bathroom.

"No playing alright?"

"Hmmm?" An intoxicated 'hmm' answered him.

That night was the greatest torture Linfeng ever had in his life.

The next day, he made sure to ask Xiong Zhi permission to be intimate with her even though she was drunk. So that next time, Linfeng would not be tortured so badly again.

So much for enduring.
