To Love You Again

Xiong Zhi sat up. She doesn't want anyone other than Linfeng to look down at her.

"Nothing. I was just born this way-" Xiong Zhi answered while her chin was up.

"And you're born at the second branch so you don't have rights." She continued.

Xiong Wuyue got redder. This bitch was so haughty!

"You're just a parasite. Leeching off to the Xiong family and taking advantage of Linfeng. You don't deserve to be the Young Miss." Xiong Wuyue got rid of all the pretense. Since she already showed her true colors to Xiong Zhi, there's no need to hide her disgust to her anymore.

Her father said to befriend Xiong Zhi. But ever since they met, this bitch always made her embarrassed and lose control of her emotions. There's no way that their relationship could exist peacefully.

She felt indignation towards Xiong Zhi. As a woman, she also felt that Xiong Zhi seems to hate her. That's fine with her. As she hated her too.

Her father said that she needs to control and wait. Just wait. And endure. They would have everything they want soon. His father had never spoke so confident about that. It seemed that his father had plans that would surely be successful.

And Xiong Wuyue believed in her father.

So why she need to be so polite to this bitch?

She would have the title of the Young Miss in the future.

Xiong Zhi doesn't care of what's going on in Xiong Wuyue's mind.

She never pretended with her. She always acted out according to her will to bully and irritate Xiong Wuyue. Liked now.

"I don't care who deserves to be the Young Miss. I Am the Young Miss. That wouldn't change. If I am leeching off to my grandfather that's natural. And if I'm taking advantage of Linfeng because of my status, that's natural too. " Xiong Zhi said boastfully.

"But you..what's that again-? " Xiong Zhi seemed to think then glanced meaningfully at Xiong Wuyue's wrist that had a bandage on it. She heard of what happened from the maid after she took a bath. The little episode in Zhou Mansion.

"-Hurt oneself just to gain pity? Are you not ashamed?" Xiong Zhi mockingly smiled.

Xiong Wuyue's knuckles turned pale.

"Y-you are the one who should be ashamed. Using your status to let you stay in Linfeng's room. Where is your dignity as a woman?" Xiong Wuyue barked back. Her voice was a bit shaky because of anger.

"Oh. You know that word? I thought you lost 'dignity' in your dictionary." Xiong Zhi seemed to be an expert when it comes to irritating Xiong Wuyue. Her mouth quickly moved faster than her mind.

Xiong Wuyue had never experienced to be mocked like this.

"You are the one who lost dignity!"

"I don't. The young miss of Xiong would never lose dignity. Only snakes like you throw away their dignity."

"You have no dignity! You are a parasite!" Xiong Wuyue threw a pillow to Xiong Zhi. She badly wanted to throw everything at her. She was really getting mad.

Since they were just in one bed, the soft pillow gave a huge impact on Xiong Zhi's face.

Xiong Zhi's face got red from the impact. She looked angrily at Xiong Wuyue. She too threw her pillow to Xiong Wuyue.

"You are a snake!"

Xiong Wuyue got smacked on her face. This made her angrier.

"Bitch!" She threw back the pillow that Xiong Zhi threw at her.

Xiong Zhi put her arms to her face to protect herself. Then she gets the pillow that got thrown at her and went to Xiong Wuyue. With all her might, she pummelled Xiong Wuyue with the pillow.

"I! Won't! Allow! You! To ! Beat! Me! Up! Again!" Xiong Zhi hit Xiong Wuyue's face and head with her pillow at every word.

"Agh! Murderer! Despicable!" Xiong Wuyue protected her face and screamed. The pillow was soft. However, the shame she got in each hit hurts.

Xiong Wuyue's hands then pulled the blanket at her side. She used that as a weapon to face Xiong Zhi's attack. She brandished it randomly.

Seeing that her attack was now futile, Xiong Zhi threw the pillow one last time. Then she found a chance to pulled Xiong Wuyue's long hair.

"Agh! It hurts! Linfeng! Help!" Xiong Wuyue shouted. She could feel some of her hair got pulled up in its roots.

"You have no right to utter his name!" Xiong Zhi's madness from past life was coming out. It was felt by Xiong Wuyue in every pull.

Xiong Wuyue had teared up because of the pain. She reached out desperately and also pulled the tip of Xiong Zhi's long hair.

Xiong Wuyue did not leg to and keep pulling as Xiong Zhi keep pulling as well. Both girls had teared up. But no one cares. The one who got more damaged for the other wins.

They stumbled over the bed. Sometimes it was Xiong Zhi who was on top and sometimes it was Xiong Wuyue. They rolled over and fell on the floor. But no one still let go.

These go on for a while. The two for the first time acted on their age. The two teenagers who were fighting through words earlier were now fighting with their fists.

The loud rain and roaring keep going on. Sealing everything of what's happening inside the room.

***********************************

Linfeng had just finished his bath. As he put his pajama, he was thinking of the two girls in the other room. 

They have decided that the two guests would stay in one room to accompany each other. The two young misses were still cousins despite growing in different branches. The elders decided to let Linfeng's sleep beside the occupied room. It was so that they, the guests, could go to him if they need anything.

The two important guests did not complain. Since the guests were the ones who suggested this kind of arrangement, the elders were at peace that everything settled.

But Linfeng was not feeling at ease.

He doesn't know what was the root. But he felt like his Young Miss hates Xiong Wuyue. Not only that, but there was also the bandage incident. 

They clearly hate each other, so why the two tacitly agreed to stay in one room? Do they plan to talk things clearly?

Linfeng was having these thoughts. The loud thunder just added to his worry. So he decided to check on the two girls.

He was standing in front of their room. 

Because of the loud roaring wind and rain, he could not hear anything in the room.

'Maybe they are already asleep? Sigh. I am just probably thinking too much.'

The two girls were not ordinary girls who would fight among each other if left alone. Despite being young, both of them knew what things to prioritize. They would not act like kids and ruin each other this night.

Linfeng was about to leave when he heard a loud crash among the loud rain.

It came from the room.

"Young Miss!" Linfeng used the key on his possession and barge in.

A shadow came to his face and he quickly caught it. 

It was the head of a lamp.

Stunned by this sudden welcome he looked around the room.

He was shocked by the scene.

They were blankets, pillows, spare clothes, daily necessities such as toothpaste and shampoo were on the ground. Some furnitures were turned over and some were scattered on the ground.

He saw two monkeys- no- two people who had messy hair and ripped clothes in the opposite direction of the room.

Xiong Wuyue was near the door, she was behind a tall mirror. It was her shield and the candlelight that she was holding was her new weapon.

While Xiong Zhi who was beside the bed was crouching over the drawer. The closet was her shield and the perfume bottle was her newly acquired weapon.

The crash Linfeng heard was actually Xiong Wuyue throwing a vase hitting the closet and breaking down into pieces. The head of the lamp that welcomed him was from Xiong Zhi trying to counter-attack.

The two were also shocked to see Linfeng barged in and witnessing their wretched appearance and the evidence of war. 

Xiong Wuyue was shocked but she quickly sobered.

She cried and ran to Linfeng.

"I'm so scared! Young Miss suddenly acted strange and threw things at me!" Xiong Wuyue was about to hug Linfeng. But Linfeng side-stepped and look sideways.

"Miss Wuyue, I would like to know what's happening. But please put something to cover yourself first."

That's only when Xiong Wuyue realized that her nightgown was slightly ripped because of their fierce fight earlier.

She suddenly got an idea. She was about to act it out but Xiong Zhi came forward and faced Linfeng.

Linfeng saw her appearance. It was the same as Xiong Wuyue. He sighed. What kind of fight these two undergone? Are girl's fight was this scary?

Linfeng picked up the towel on the floor and put it to around Xiong Zhi. 

He checked any injuries first. There was a lot. A lot of nail marks, bruises, and some scratches.

Linfeng furrowed his brow, based on the appearance of this room, the fight seems so intense. So he expected that these two girls would have injuries. But seeing them on Xiong Zhi's untainted body seemed cruel.

"What kind of defense you are putting?" If you want to fight, then make sure you will not suffer more than the enemy.' Linfeng wants to say this, but the 'enemy' was still there and it was his family's guest.

"It's an unexpected battle. But I did not lose." Xiong Zhi said proudly.

Linfeng felt a tug on his shirt and looked towards the source.

It was Xiong Wuyue who glared at Xiong Zhi first and turned to him teary-eyed.

That's when Linfeng understand what Xiong Zhi meant that she did not lose.

Because the girl in front of him looked more miserable than his young miss.
