To Love You Again
Chapter 128 - Dark and Light
The staff runs to them with a first aid kit in hand.
"Let me disinfect your wound first, sir. The doctor is coming. The health room is only a few floors away."
Linfeng thanked the staff. He used his right hand to get the kit.
"No need for the doctor. I'm fine on my own."
Xiong Zhi disagreed.
"No. Let the doctor come to check it."
Linfeng looks at her and gently explained it.
"Young miss, you really don't have to worry. I'm a butler myself. We are trained in this situation. Besides, our Zhou family will lose face if a doctor comes for a butler because of a small cut."
Xiong Zhi furrowed her brow. What's wrong for him to call for a doctor?
Seeing that Xiong Zhi was thinking deeply, he took the chance to gestured for the staff to cancel it. If the doctor comes, there would be a commotion. It's alright if the guest was the one who had been hurt, but for a butler, it would create unnecessary rumors not only for the Zhou family but for the Xiong family as well. It looks like a small matter but those people who were waiting for the Xiong empire to decline would use any possible means to attack Xiong. Even tarnishing Xiong's reputation would be a huge deal to them.
And besides its not that really urgent for a doctor.
So he took the kit, put it in one of the tables, and opened it.
Xiong Zhi followed him. She was not yet satisfied that Linfeng would not consult for a doctor.
She watched as Linfeng struggled to disinfect his wound with one hand. When he was starting to wrap his wounds, Xiong Zhi finally reached out to him to help him.
The place they were in was a bit dim from the other places. There are a bit far away from the dancing couples.
They are actually in the back area of the butlers. However, the dim light was enough for Xiong Zhi to wrap Linfeng's wound. As she took the bandage, Linfeng tried to stop her, he held her hand that was holding the bandage.
"It's okay. I'm trained for this. You don't have to worry young miss." It's not applicable for a young miss like Xiong Zhi to help her Butler to wrap his wound. No matter which angle you saw it, it's inappropriate.
However, Xiong Zhi who was still not satisfied that the doctor would not check on him fire back.
"You are not allowing me to call the doctor, now you are not allowing me to help you?"
"..." Linfeng doesn't know what to retort. So he let go of her hand and let her gently wrap his left palm.
Xiong Zhi's action was so gentle. Like she was afraid she would hurt him by applying a little force.
Linfeng's heart was now warm. Her little actions were now giving itchiness to his heart. Even he tried to think of the scene where Xiong Zhi got intimate with another man he was not that upset anymore.
So what if that guy got embraced by her? What if that guy got her first dance? Xiong Zhi was now with him and giving him her attention and care.
Then the little Linfeng in his mind appeared and shouted at him. 'What are you so smug for?! Is that an appropriate thought?! Have you FORGOTTEN WHO YOU ARE???'
This little guy suddenly became big and got control over his thoughts and emotion.
What he was thinking?
"Young miss, I'm fine now. Thank you for your help. "
Xiong Zhi was done wrapping his palm. She looked sharply at him.
"Why are you so careless? How come you break a glass? " She ignored the dismissing tone Linfeng used.
Remembering how he becomes irrational and acted on impulse, Linfeng was embarrassed.
"It's an accident. It won't happen again. I apologized for troubling you." He sincerely said. He would not let this kind of embarrassing moment to happen again. He would not let emotion take over him.
Xiong Zhi stared at him, seeing that Linfeng was really apologetic she sighed.
'Why Linfeng so careless? He needs to take care of himself.'
"It's alright. Just take care. Don't let yourself be hurt. " Xiong Zhi reminded him.
"I'll take that in mind." Linfeng politely said.
Linfeng stands up.
"Thank you, young miss, for your care. Let me escort you back to your table. " Linfeng bowed.
Xiong Zhi looked at the front. A few couples were dancing romantically. Lu Yin Ze was now dancing with Tang Xinyang.
Since she was not needed anymore, Xiong Zhi was happy to have her own time.
" No need. I don't have a role there anymore." Then she looked at Linfeng. Her eyes were lovely and sparkling from the reflection of the tiny lights above them. At the same time, it sparkled with deep thoughts and naughtiness.
" I actually find this place more comfortable. It is cooler here and light is sufficient for me. I like it here. " Xiong Zhi said while she stayed rooted in her seat.
"....." Linfeng.
Since his young miss wanted to be here, he doesn't have to force her to go in front. So Linfeng just accompanied her.
He remained standing by her side while she was seating. They both watched the couples at the front.
The Orchestra was really good. They played the Disney music romantic songs into a classic one.
Xiong Zhi keeps glancing at Linfeng secretly. Linfeng was just standing quietly and look like he was focus on observing people like they are very entertaining to watch. Seeing him like that, Xiong Zhi doesn't have a choice but to take the first step.
"U-hm." She coughed.
Linfeng looks at her.
" It's so good people are dancing. Make me want to dance as well." She said a little louder for Linfeng to hear. However, Linfeng this man has another thought when he heard that.
'Does Young Miss wants to go back? It looks like she wants to dance. '
Linfeng thought that Xiong Zhi wanted to go in front and dance with other men. And she was telling this to him as a sign that she needs to escort him back to the front.
"The atmosphere is really great for dancing. " Linfeng started.
Hearing that Xiong Zhi got her hopes high. But the next words were like a cold basin of water that poured to her.
" Let me escort you back, Young Miss. For sure a lot of gentlemen will ask you to dance." Linfeng said the rational things that a butler should.
His Young miss doesn't belong to this dim place, unseen by everyone. Her place was in front. He knew and understand this thing. He might behave a place in her heart for her to take care of him. But the place he has in her heart is like the place they were in now. On the dim, unseen and secluded place.
Maybe she has feelings for him. And maybe, no matter how much he denied, base on his irrational thoughts and action earlier, he must have to start to have feelings for his Young Miss that a butler should not have.
And this feeling..would surely destroy both of them in the future.
Linfeng's rational thoughts are on high alert now. He understands these things.
Xiong Zhi bites her lower lip to Linfeng's outright rejection. She was not sure if Linfeng got the message that she wants to dance with him. To make it a little clearer she attacked in another way.
" You seemed trained. You are good at guzheng. How about dancing?" Xiong Zhi watched how to seduce your man 3.0 many times with Song Xuantin. It's now showing it's usefulness in this situation.
Linfeng was still clueless and have his thoughts on how he was in the dark and she was in the light, answered.
"We are trained in all areas. "
Xiong Zhi's straight face helped her a lot to stop producing a smug smile.
'Gotcha!'
" Oh. Since you are very trained, I wonder if you can guide me through some steps?" Xiong Zhi asked with innocent eyes and a straight face. Not allowing any pretense to come out of her.
Linfeng finally put his attention on their topic.
"Does young Miss want to learn how to properly dance?"
Linfeng asked with incredulous expression when it finally sank to him what was Xiong Zhi have been asking.
"En."
Xiong Zhi said still using her straight face. But she was a bit nervous now since Linfeng seems to understand what she was doing.
Linfeng thought deeply. He had been watching Xiong Zhi dance since she stepped in front of the crowd. Her steps were graceful and light. There was nothing wrong about it. Was there a need for him to guide her?
Xiong Zhi was afraid he would reject and added,
" I'm afraid to ask anyone to dance and teach me. I can only ask you. "
Linfeng finally relented. He was not about to reject her anyway. Its the butler's role to assist their master in any way.
So he lifted his left arm then changed it to right hand for Xiong Zhi to accept.
But Xiong Zhi noticed this little action.
'Oh right. He is injured. Silly me.'
Xiong Zhi immediately took back what she said.
"No need. " Then she stands up.
" Let's walk in the garden, it seems this garden is so big." She walked ahead of him.
Linfeng was a bit taken aback why his young miss changed her mind. But he did not question her and follow her deeper in the garden. Far away from other people.
"Let me disinfect your wound first, sir. The doctor is coming. The health room is only a few floors away."
Linfeng thanked the staff. He used his right hand to get the kit.
"No need for the doctor. I'm fine on my own."
Xiong Zhi disagreed.
