Xiong Zhi rejected Lu Yin Ze's good will of dropping her off to City F many times.
But Lu Yin Ze was so stubborn and insisted to use his private plane. He wanted to personally accompany her to City F's airport.
Lu Yin Ze said, "I bothered you to come here, so please let me repay the favor."
"There's no need to be so serious. I have no problem going there by myself."
"Just let me accompany you there. I'm very free after all. I will only be at ease once I see you arrive at City F safe and sound."
"…" Xiong Zhi stared helplessly at him. "Alright, suit yourself."
His silver-blue eyes obviously would not accept 'no' for an answer. He was strangely stubborn today.
They were still at the Luxury Hotel, preparing to depart, when she received a message from Song Xuantin.
[Are you still in the capital? I saw Senior Linfeng a while ago. He told me to message him once you are here in City F. But it's been three hours now and I'm still not getting any heads up from you. Is everything okay there with Lu Yin Ze? Or are you already with Senior Linfeng?]
This message shocked Xiong Zhi to the core.
Linfeng was already in City F! It had been three hours! She could have spent those long three hours alone with him, but now it was all a waste! Xiong Zhi was unsettled and blamed herself inwardly.
"Is that from Song Xuantin?" Lu Yin Ze's soft voice caught Xiong Zhi's attention back. She turned to him instinctively.
She was annoyed at herself for not reminding Song Xuantin to contact her as soon as she saw a shadow of Linfeng. That annoyance had not fully dispersed from her eyes yet when she looked at Lu Yin Ze. Upon realizing it, she composed herself, her face turning cold and expressionless as a result.
"...!" Lu Yin Ze was stunned. He still caught the vexation in her eyes.
Lu Yin Ze was not able hide the surprise look in his eyes in time, so Xiong Zhi saw it.
She instantly felt guilty of her thoughts, for calling the three hours she spent with him a 'waste'. How rude was that? How could it be a waste when she used it to help comfort someone in sorrow? Especially, it was for her friend.
"Yes. It's from Song Xuantin. I forgot to mention something important to her. I can't help but blame myself," she explained honestly, a hint of chagrin in her voice.
Lu Yin Ze smiled awkwardly. It was time to let her go, but his heart did not want to. However, he still said it in the end.
"I guess you are needed there?"
"Yeah, I have to leave now."
Disappointment and a sense of loss flashed through his eyes, but he kept quiet and smiled in understanding. Lu Yin Ze was not good at hiding his emotions, thus, Xiong Zhi still caught onto it.
She sighed. This boy tended to choose to bottle up his emotions and make himself suffer. Just like right now, he could go with them to the trip, but he still chose to stay and be left alone by himself.
She stared at the silvery white furry puppy whose ears were drooping down and eyes were watery with sadness, but was still trying to look sensible and well-behaved.
Just who could hate such a sensible puppy, ahem, sensible boy?
Xiong Zhi's hand itched and she patted the poor boy's fluffy silver hair. "If you feel alone, why not come with us?"
Lu Yin Ze blushed and caught her hand. He did not hold it for too long because he was afraid that Xiong Zhi would forcefully take her hand away from him. It looked like he had just stopped her from patting his head, but in fact he felt happy at the chance to hold her hand, even for a bit.
"...Thank you for worrying about me. But I think I will be fine here already. I don't feel so bad anymore."
…The truth was that his weak heart could not bear to look at Xiong Zhi and her butler spending time together like they were alone in their world.
He did not want to see such a scenery. He would be better off staying here and focusing on his mom's diary and the flash drive. He had to be satisfied with the warmth he received from her when she accompanied him at his one of the lowest points in his life.
Xiong Zhi nodded.
She finally accepted Lu Yin Ze's offer to drop her off, because it would definitely be way faster than booking another flight. Of course, she could use her own plane, but why bother when there was one ready for departure? She sent a message to Song Xuantin before she boarded the private plane with Lu Yin Ze.
Ting!
A notification sound came from Linfeng's phone. It was a forwarded message from Song Xuantin.
[I will arrive shortly. Please tell him I am on my way. And I am very sorry. >﹏
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
