To Love You Again

Chapter 289 - A tail

When Xiong Zhi and Linfeng had walked a fair distance from the shrine, Linfeng gingerly asked Xiong Zhi.

"Are you all right, Young Miss?"

Xiong Zhi, who had been dragging Linfeng all this time, halted. Her expressionless face was red, because she was so angry after seeing the earlier priceless moment blown away into nothingness. That beast ruined everything!

It was all going according to plan. The isolated shrine without a single person around would be the best place to finally have her first kiss with Linfeng.

Now...it was all gone!

How could she not be angry!

She was so confident of her success that she did not even prepare a Plan B for this. What was she going to do now?

Xiong Zhi was so mad and disappointed. Now that Linfeng asked her, her grievances finally broke out on her face.

Linfeng, who worriedly lowered his head to look at her face, saw the complaint and grievances in her eyes. She was even biting her lips in frustration.

He was confused at first, but then he suddenly understood as he remembered the situation earlier. Paired with his Young Miss's aggressive nature in intimacy, most likely, she was angry at the interruption.

He felt his ears warm up at the memory. He also felt regret. He did not know if the chance would still appear later.

But he calmed down immediately as he managed to confirm one thing.

Guan Gao Huan was certainly following them in purpose. He also likely saw everything earlier and decided to interrupt at the most opportune time.

The question was the motive.

Did he also have feelings for Zhi'er?

'No, he is a calculating man. He is not the type of person to consider personal feelings ahead of himself,' Linfeng immediately denied.

Guan Gao Huan's goal might not be clear for him, but he was clear on something.

The man held some interest over his Young Miss, and it might also be possibly related to the content of their discussion last night back at the rest house.

Also, he finally realized that his Young Miss was very popular with men.

First, the seemingly innocent and yet scheming angelic boy kept sticking to his Young Miss like a glue. Now, the snake demon posing as a fairy kept showing up like mushrooms after the rain, infuriating his Young Miss. Both were able to occupy a space within his Young Miss's mind through different methods.

Ah. Linfeng's eyes realized the 'precarious' situation.

This was not good, because their actions really affected his Young Miss. One managed to get her good impression that she came running to him with one call, the other managed to ruffle her mind that she forgot everything else.

Linfeng felt a bit sour in his heart. Even if he was accused of being possessive, but to hell with it. He reached out and held Xiong Zhi's hand. He could not let those two affect his Young Miss anymore, especially today. His Young Miss was only his today.

"Let's forget that insect, Young Miss. He's not worth it."

"Right, he's just an insect."

"...That's right." She seemed really mad.

"What a pity." She was talking about the supposed kiss which had flown away.

Linfeng's ears warmed up again.

"...Yes, it is as Young Miss says," he decided to be as honest as his Young Miss, yet he still felt a bit ashamed after all. He coughed. "Do you want to have some snacks, Young Miss?"

Xiong Zhi finally calmed down after stopping. She looked up at the direction of the sun and suddenly felt hungry.

"Sure, let's take a break," she nodded. Although she was still annoyed at that beast, she determinedly threw him outside outer space from her mind and stopped herself from thinking of the wasted chance.

The day had not yet ended. There was still a chance to kiss her hubby Linfeng today!

The two continued to travel down the hill.

The F City, due to its verdant vegetation and unpolluted bodies of water, was also famous for their healthy and fresh cuisines, especially their freshwater fish and vegetarian specialties.

The restaurant they chose was said to be the most famous in the town and was often visited by foodies. Linfeng had also checked the reviews online. The place looked simple but decent and very clean.

The moment they stepped into the restaurant, the people around already began paying attention to them. After all, a couple with such high aesthetic level was truly rare. Some even thought they were celebrities.

Linfeng hesitated as they sat inside. What if his Young Miss who was used to exquisitely made food did not find the dishes here to her liking? Should he borrow the kitchen?

"Young Miss, I think it would be better if I ask the owner to lend me the kitchen for a bit."

"...?" The girl looked up from the menu.

"Although this is the best restaurant in town, I'm afraid it's bound to taste vastly different from your usual diet."

"That's a given. After all, this doesn't seem to be a Michelin restaurant."

"...As I thought, I should ask the owner."

He rose from his seat with the intention to borrow or rent the kitchen for a short while when Xiong Zhi stopped him.

"There's no need. If I don't like it, I won't eat it. We can just look for another. It's your day off from being a butler, you're here as my man," Xiong Zhi stressed the last sentence without any shame.

Linfeng's ears turned red.

How was his Young Miss able to say these bold and aggressive words, 'her man', in front of people, ah.

'That is a crime, Zhi'er.' He always get a strange feeling that the roles were somewhat reversed between them.

Linfeng was muted into shyness. He quietly looked down at the menu as well.

Xiong Zhi's cool voice was low, but the people inside the restaurant who had been paying attention to them, including the waitress who stood at the side waiting for their orders, heard her words loud and clear. They were stunned to see the beautiful girl act so assertive like that. It appeared that the girl was the dominant 'top' while the young man was surprisingly a submissive 'bottom'!

What a cool and suave girl!

The unsuspecting pair ordered small servings of the restaurant's signature dishes—oyster noodles with mixed vegetables, salted egg yolk pumpkin, pea jelly with garlic chili sauce, stir-fried mushrooms and greens, sweet and sour squirrel fish, and a large plate of freshly grilled squid.

They waited quietly until the fragrance of their steaming hot dishes enveloped them.

Xiong Zhi looked at the array of colorful dishes served on the table. Although it appeared humble from what she was used to, it gave off a warm and homely feel, especially because the face of the man in front of her appeared more handsome through the hazy mist.

Her beloved man reached out to check the taste of the dishes, and soon he immediately began putting food into her bowl. She gently watched as her man busied himself, a warm satisfaction permeating her chest.

…A few moments later, a man entered the small restaurant they were in. He casually looked around the restaurant as if looking for a seat, and he marked the pair's location in his mind before heading to an empty seat.
