To Love You Again

Xiong Zhi woke up and saw that the space beside her was empty. Linfeng was already up.

She blinked. She actually slept longer than him, the more tired one. 

The door of the bathroom opened and Linfeng came in. He had already taken a shower and changed his clothes.

"I was about to wake you up. It's lunchtime already. I called the chef to send us food." Linfeng approached her and kissed her briefly. "I bet you are hungry." 

Xiong Zhi blearily went to the bathroom to freshen up. After going out of the bathroom, she was finally fully awake. 

She felt her stomach growl. She followed behind Linfeng back to the office. "Linfeng, did you sleep well? You should have slept more."

"I slept well thanks to you," the man patted her head. 

Xiong Zhi was about to sit on the couch while Linfeng prepared their food when she suddenly caught a glimpse of her clean desk.

"Did you clean up my desk?"

"Yes. I saw that you have many files left unattended so I arranged them for you. I also finished some which could be done fast."

Xiong Zhi stared at Linfeng blankly. She checked the time. She slept for three to four hours. 

But Linfeng woke up early and even had the time to clean her desk and do her work. 

"Did you really sleep?" Xiong Zhi frowned. She remembered the shadow under his eyes and the tiredness on his face earlier.

The always capable and resilient man was obviously exhausted.

Linfeng felt that Xiong Zhi was displeased. It must have something to do with his little resting time.

"I slept quite long," he coughed.

His majestic girlfriend's eyes narrowed. She said blankly with a raised eyebrow. "Heh. You told me that you need me to replenish your energy, but it seems like I am the one who benefited from this and became more of a burden on you. What use am I then?" 

Linfeng was slightly fl.u.s.tered after hearing Xiong Zhi's words. Seeing that his girlfriend's expression was not good, he knew that his actions made her unhappy. He initially only wanted to help lessen her workload. He did not think about how Xiong Zhi would feel.

He sat beside her and held her hand. "I am sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel like that."

Xiong Zhi could not stay angry at Linfeng for even a minute longer. He had done this for her. But she felt useless if Linfeng continuously sacrificed his well-being for her. He already paid for so much in the past and now.

She hoped that he would take care of himself better.

"Linfeng."

"Yes? Say it, I'll listen to you."

Xiong Zhi only called his name but Linfeng was already willing to compromise.

"What makes me happy?" 

The man was taken aback. After a pause, he answered hesitantly. "Being with me...?"

Xiong Zhi pinched Linfeng's nose. "It's good that you know. I am the happiest person whenever I'm beside you. I am most pleased when you are happy and having fun. I am at ease when you sleep well and eat at the right time. I am satisfied with knowing that you are living well, free from suffering."

"...."

Linfeng's heart slowly melted into a pool of softness. He slowly hugged her, quietly listening to her sweet confession-like nagging. 

His most beloved girlfriend continued straightforwardly. "In short, you are my happiness. It breaks my heart whenever I see you suffer or make a sacrifice of your self. Please don't do that. You have to take care of your health and well-being. You taking care of yourself is like taking care of my most important treasure."

"...Um, alright." He accepted her words of warm concern and love. He put his hand over his heart, as if swearing. "I shall follow your majesty's decree, I promise to follow your words and always make you happy."

"...This guy." Xiong Zhi chuckled and gave him a quick peck on his lips.

"It makes me think for the nth time that I should really dismiss you as a butler officially "

Linfeng instantly refused. "No, only that cannot be." 

Xiong Zhi glared at him blankly. Linfeng was really stubborn.

"I thought you want to make me happy? How will I be happy if you are working on two heavy roles? Not to mention, the two jobs need a lot of time and attention. I can't make you suffer like this." 

Linfeng hugged his girlfriend tightly. "Zhi'er, we already talked about this. Being your butler is not a burden to me at all. It is my own will to take care of you. Tending to your needs and working under you is my greatest pleasure. You..." 

'You have no idea how possessive I am to you.'

Linfeng did not say the last sentence but dropped a kiss on the girl's forehead instead. "Besides, I won't let other people serve you. Especially if it's a man."

Just imaging that her girlfriend's e.r.o.t.i.c face when she just woke up every morning would be seen by another man even if it was a butler, arranging her food, and knowing all her hobbies and dislikes, made Linfeng's expression turn dark.

As if he would allow anyone to approach his Zhi'er! 

His Zhi'er was beautiful, smart, and charming. Only a blind man would not fall for her.

This was why Linfeng was adamant on staying as her butler. Besides, Linfeng was more at ease if those confidential matters regarding her would be handled by him personally instead of other people.

"Sigh~" Xiong Zhi helplessly sighed. 

Her boyfriend was usually very indulgent to her, but only on this matter, he would not let her win. 

It seemed that Linfeng had decided to serve her until old age.

Growl~

The grumble of Xiong Zhi's stomach made the couple halt from their little argument.

Linfeng chuckled, "Let's eat for now."

Linfeng served her food diligently. Xiong Zhi gave up using her two hands with Linfeng around. The only thing left for Linfeng to do was to serve the food in her mouth. Of course, Xiong Zhi would not allow that, or else she might really forget that she had limbs.

Linfeng overly indulged her. 

It was only after eating that Linfeng mentioned the work matters he had done today. 

"Zhi'er, you have received a reply from IAmFashionista. How did you become a VVIP?" Linfeng finally asked the matter that was bugging him.
