To Love You Again

Chapter 124 - Her care

She forced her right fist to use the last power blast it could give. She knew her right fist was nearing at the end as well.

She took the chance and punched out.

A ripple sounded and the blow that Tang Xinyang gave to Linfeng made him took several steps back until his back touched the ring. The people on Linfeng sides felt the violent air. It made their hair and their dresses fluttered with the wind.

What an awesome strength...

What an awesome punch!

It was Tang's secret art!

After a few seconds of silence, the audience cheered. The butler and the guards clapped with more enthusiasm this time.

Everyone enjoyed the fight except for one person.

Mistress Tang was proud of her granddaughter. She went to Tang Xinyang and gave her the towel personally. One of the guests, which was a great CEO offered her a drink. The hegemons at the side were affected by the mood and congratulate her as well. Everyone was so excited to talk to Ms. Tang Xinyang and sing her praises. Everyone rush to her to congratulate her.

Tang Xinyang was so happy. Because she really works hard on this duel. Using the secret arts was not easy. The chances to perform it was minimal. Since you have to fight the person stronger than you to use it. However, for so long, it was hard to find people that were stronger than her. It was good Linfeng was here. She had a satisfied duel after a long time. She felt refreshed. Remembering to thank Linfeng she looked at the other side of the ring and find him gone.

'Where did that guy go? '

However, she doesn't have time to ponder it as wave after wave of people congratulate her.

****

Linfeng went back to his table to get a glass of water. He reached for his glass using his left hand but when he about to lift it he stopped halfway and change it to his right hand.

He drank a glass of water.

He looked a the stage and watched as the people congratulate Tang Xinyang. The spotlight was on her.

A towel suddenly appeared in front of him.

He looked at those little jade-like hands and followed where it belongs.

It was his young miss.

Linfeng was stunned for a moment.

She supposed to be on the stage. Why she was here?

"Are you going to accept or not?" Xiong Zhi saw that Linfeng just stared at her and had no plan to accept the towel so she asked like this.

Linfeng unconsciously accepted the towel even he felt there 's something wrong in this situation. However, when he moved his left hand he flinched slightly and use his right hand instead to get the towel.

"Thank you, Young miss." Then it dawned on him what was wrong. His young miss was giving a towel to him. His young miss was serving him. When he was the one supposed to serve her.

He looked around for a chair for her to seat. When Xiong Zhi spoke.

"Are you not going to wipe yourself?"

Xiong Zhi was waiting for Linfeng to wipe himself. But he did not and just stare dumbly then looked around. What he was waiting for?

"Oh." He only managed to say before he wipes himself in the head and his neck.

Xiong Zhi was staring at him. Her lips were pursed. Linfeng knew that kind of subtle expression from Xiong Zhi. She was not happy and she was controlling herself to say something.

Linfeng doesn't want his young miss to hold back on whatever the matter was. Xiong Zhi was a quiet girl. If she wanted to talk but afraid to voice it out he would rather choose to hear it than to left it unsaid.

"What is it, Young Miss?" Linfeng persuaded her.

Xiong Zhi stared at his eyes then glance swiftly to his left arm. Then she looked back to stare at his eyes again.

Linfeng who was paying to her every move noticed it then he hide his left arm stealthily.

However, Xiong Zhi was more displeased when she saw he was hiding it.

"You're hurt."

"I'm not," Linfeng answered immediately.

"You're hurt. You can't even lift a glass of water." Linfeng brow twitched. It sounds not good. Saying to a man especially a butler that he could not even lift up a glass of water. However, his heart was somehow a bit happy. Was it because of the sound of worry he recognized in her voice?

"Miss not need to worry. This butler was so strong that I can even lift a person with my right hand." Linfeng said. He even demonstrates it with his right hand.

However, Xiong Zhi did not buy it. She extends her hand and said in a hard tone.

"Hand."

Linfeng was feeling strange. Why his young miss was acting like this? No matter what, he was the butler and she was the young miss. It was clear who should be taken care of.

So Linfeng brought his right hand to her soft palm. However, he did not let his hand touch her hand. He just places it at the top of her hand a few centimeters away.

Xiong Zhi just eyed it and look back at him once more. Her eyes were deadly serious.

"Left hand." Her tone was chilling.

Linfeng sighed. There's really no need...

Under the serious eyes of her young miss, he placed his left hand on top. Like what he did earlier, he did not let himself touched her. However, this little move was painful for Linfeng. But he did not show it. One could see the calmness in his eyes and his sweaty brows.

Xiong Zhi was a bit sad. Here he was, the one who set up the stage, the one who was 'the worthy opponent who will lose the fight as the winner received all the glory', enduring his pain alone.

Xiong Zhi holds his left hand gently and folded his sleeve upwards.

Linfeng was stunned. Xiong Zhi initiated intimate contact once more.

The part she was holding was tingling and hot. As she folds up his sleeve, the sensation gradually rose up to his arm. He was not feeling the pain anymore, or rather his mind was focus on her little hands that sometimes brush to his skin from time to time, leaving a tickling feeling on his skin.

She was very near to him. He could smell the lavender fragrance of her hair. He could see her curls at the side of her hair. He wanted to put it back on her ear so that he could see her face perfectly. Her nose was pointed and seems to touch his shirt anytime. He could see her long and flawless neck. His eyes traced it towards her collarbone. And if he looks more he could see some cleava-

He shook his head. What he was thinking?

No. Why he was standing here and letting her--eh?!

Linfeng was struck dumb as Xiong Zhi was now applying ointment to his bruise.

Where did she get that?

He was about to tell her to stop and he would handle it himself when he saw that Xiong Zhi's eyes were red. There are tears that threaten to come down.

Linfeng swallowed down what he was about to say. If he talked he was afraid Xiong Zhi would tear up. He doesn't want that. He doesn't like Xiong Zhi crying. So he let her. He let her apply the ointment with focus.

He let her warm his heart.

Xiong Zhi was applying the ointment very carefully and gently. Afraid that she would hurt him.

Xiong Zhi's heart was shaken.

She was near the stage. So she felt the force that came out from their fight. Linfeng's left hand received all the strong blow. And the last blow with that secret art was no doubt hurt like hell. Her heart was hanging on a thread every time that Tang Xinyang used her all might to hit Linfeng.

And when that miss finally hit him, Xiong Zhi's heart nearly fall. When Linfeng has his back on the ring with the crossed armed on his chest, how Xiong Zhi's heart was broken!

So when the butler announced that Miss Tang Xinyang won and Linfeng jumped off the stage like his part was done, Xiong Zhi followed him.

She asked for the ointment and towel from the stuff. When she got it, she approached him. She clearly saw how his left arm was shaking non-stop. It was really heartbreaking.

Now, as she lifted up his sleeve, all she could see was the purple-green bruise on his left arm. His skin was fair so this bruise was really an ugly mark. Thinking that Linfeng wanted to hide it and face it alone by himself made Xiong Zhi really felt broken and suffocated.

She really wanted to cry.

At the same time, she was angry as well.

Why does he need to duel with a girl like that?

Why he needs to sacrifice his arm just to satisfy the Tang's ego?!

Why no one noticed that he did a good job to last the fight and give them a good show?!

They are really unfair!

Xiong Zhi's unsaid words and strong feelings of heartbroken made her tear up.

She doesn't even know about it. She focused on applying the ointment.

"It's okay. Even no one notices you, I will. You've done a great job. " Xiong Zhi felt that she had to say this. If not, her heart would explode with the unfairness she was feeling now. She was really really aggravated!

Linfeng heard her words.

It was only a casual praise and a few comforting words. But...it greatly comforts and soothed his heart.

He realized..that these words that came from her were enough.
