To Love You Again

Chapter 30 - 27: The Glare

[The CJ's submitted a public apology this morning. They stated that they will provide refund to their customers and will cooperate fully in the investigation. However, many board of directors of CJ's already flee in other countries making the investigation difficult. According to the team leader of the investigation, they have sufficient evidence in their hands for the next week trial. Meanwhile, the CJ's transaction are all frozen until the trial. ]

Xiong Zhi was reading the news in her phone while waiting for her P.E class. It had been days since the case of Xiao Mei. Xiao Mei haven't contacted her. The surgery of Mrs. Ping must be at hand that's why Xiao Mei could not contact her.

The coach entered and she put her phone away. They were in the junior gym's school. A ten-minute drive from their building.

The coach instructed them that they were playing basketball. Girls could watch while the boys played first.

Having no friend, Xiong Zhi sat alone in the back area of the benches. She just watched in front while deeply thinking of something.

It's almost a month since she was reborn. Her building company was already accomplished. She's just waiting for Xiao Mei to introduce her personally to her CEO and IHZHI. After briefing them, she would just wait for her company to boost. Her deal to Gu Zhen could wait. There's still a year. She was still avoiding the beast and they haven't met, which is good for her. Her enemies haven't introduce their selves, but she was ready to face them. She might not have a close relationship to her grandfather but they were good. Seems like everything was good so far.

But what she was concerned the most was Linfeng.

She did not know how she would approach him. Did she had to push him in the bed first and made him be responsible for her? Like what she watch in ancient dramas? Or did she had to write love letter and had a slow romance like what she read in the romance novels? She....she did not know.

This was the first time she felt love. First time loving someone. If it's in the past, she wouldn't care. But now, her first priority was Linfeng. In those days she had spent with him in this second lifetime, she felt that she was becoming far from him. Like he was...guarded...there were walls around him. But no matter what, she would climb those walls. She promised in this second lifetime she would do everything to spent her life with Linfeng.

Prrruuuuuu

A whistle broke out her thoughts . She looked at the source . The couch clapped after he whistled.

"Good! Gu Zhen! I thought you can't shoot with those thin arms of yours. But you just did it! Nice shot! Thinking of joining my basketball team? We can welcome you, three-point shooter." The coach said to Gu Zhen.

Gu Zhen took off his glasses and wipe them before putting on.

Snap!

Xiong Zhi looked for the source of the sound.

" Thank you coach. But I only played basket ball whenever I'm free. Unfortunately, I'm not that free. ", Gu Zhen said and smiled.

Snap!

'That sound again!'

Xiong Zhi was sure this time that it was not an illusion. She had heard it clearly. She looked around.

'Where are you?'

Then at the corner she saw a shadow peeping back and forth to the court.

Xiong Zhi curled up her lips.

'Found you!'

She then ran at the back and circled around the area. When she arrived at the corner where the shadow was she slowed down her steps.

She was facing the figure's back. Xiong Zhi examined the person in front of her. That person was also wearing a junior's P.E uniform like her. The person's head was covered in a black shawl. She could not identify the person's gender.But she could guess it was a girl. The person was holding a camera and she looked like she was taking pictures. She was muttering something.

Xiong Zhi step forward to the girl to hear her words.

"Oh my, oh my,..."

"My husband look so hot.."

"Kyaaa...he is really good.."

"Come on, look here look here...kyaaa....good shot!"

'Eh...? She doesn't seem like an enemy...but a stalker instead...'

"Ahem.. " Xiong Zhi coughed loudly. She was curious was this girl doing, and also she wanted to confirm something with this girl.

The person jolted in shock due to the sudden sound behind her. Her hand slipped and all the pictures she had just captured were all littered in the ground. Thus, exposing the pictures. She quickly crouched down and collect them one by one in a very fast move. Before a minute passed, the pictures was already in her pocket. Her camera was hanged around her neck.

Xiong Zhi who had a sharp eyes saw it clearly. Those pictures....every one of them had a picture of Gu Zhen in it!

Xiong Zhi looked at the girl who were putting the pictures in a very careful manner to her pocket. She was right. The person was a girl. She was also wearing a dark eye-glasses covering half of her face. But Xiong Zhi still recognized her, she was the girl in the cafeteria, who broke the plate, and also one of her classmate.

"Song Xuantin, are you stalking Gu Zhen?" Xiong Zhi asked the obvious. She just wanted to make sure, because she wanted to confirm if the glare she always felt was also from her or to other hidden forces.

(A/N: hidden forces XD I know I just wanted to laugh )

Song Xuantin stopped for a moment.

'How...how did she know?! Im wearing disguise! Even my maid doesn't recognize me! She must be bluffing!'

With that thought she composed her self and chin up.

"I'm not Song Xuantin. You're mistaken me to someone."

Xiong Zhi looked at the girl. Then her gaze lowered somewhere in her chest and stared at it. Then looked at Xuantin's face again.

Song Xuantin got goosebumps.

'Did...did she recognize her by the size of her b.o.o.b.s?!'

She covered her chest. She did not know that the young miss of Xiong had that kind of taste! She even made Xiong Zhi her rival!

Xiong Zhi then realized that the looked Song Xuantin gave her was a little strange. She pointed at Xuantin's chest.

"Your full name was sewed to your uniform ." Xiong Zhi said in a matter of fact tone. She even pointed her own chest with a name 'Xiong Zhi' that was sewn to her own P.E uniform. She did not know what kind of thoughts the girl was having. But she did not like the look the girl was giving, like she was a rapist or something.

Song Xuantin touched her chest. Then her eyes go wide.

'What an idiot! I forgot to cover my name! I'm screwed...'

She bit her lip. What's the point of having these disguise if someone found out she was stalkin-no- admiring Gu Zhen! What if she told Gu Zhen?!

'Ahhhh...what should I do...what should I do....'

Seeing the girl was panicked, Xiong Zhi did not push her. She walked passed her, and then turned to her to ask.

"The glare last time, is it you?"

Song Xuantin attention turned back to Xiong Zhi.

'The glare...?'

She looked confused. Xiong Zhi enlightened her.

"At the cafeteria, when I talked to Gu Zhen." The more she thought of it, the more it was possible.

"En, its probably me. I might have stared so much in your back." More like want to push you away from Gu Zhen.

"Oh-" Xiong Zhi started to walk away when she turned again.

"Don't worry, I won't tell to anyone what I saw today." Xiong Zhi said while looking at Xuantin's pocket.

Song Xuantin protected her pocket.

'Why looking at my pocket?! I'll never let you steal it!'

"Why? Why should I trust your words? You may probably tell him later that I'm a stalker!"

'You're my rival! How can she not bad-mouthed me to Gu Zhen. Gu Zhen might hate me now...but I'm not a stalker...I just want to admire him even from afar...'

Song Xuantin looked like she was about to cry. This made Xiong Zhi sensitive heart to flutter a little. She understand how Song Xuantin felt. She also did not want the man she like to hate her.

"You like Gu Zhen, don't you? Don't worry I understand what you feels." Her mature heart in the age of 23 comes out facing a love-sick sixteen year old girl.

However, this made Song Xuantin misunderstand her words. She narrowed her eyes.

"Are you saying you like Gu Zhen too that's why you understand me? That you are now proclaiming a fair war?" Song Xuantin looked like she was ready to fight.

This made Xiong Zhi's head hurt.

'What a fool...'

But Xiong Zhi tried to be matured here since she felt like she had to coax this little kitten in front of her . She also pitied the girl. She did not want to add to the girl's love problems.

"No. I have absolutely NO romantic or s.e.x.u.a.l feelings towards Gu Zhen . Those feelings are only for my one and only one man."

"That one man is not Gu Zhen?" She had to make sure if this Xiong was a friend or a foe.

Xiong Zhi sighed. This girl was difficult to talk to.

"Yes. I'm referring to my one and only one man, Linfeng." She repeated again and even blurted out Linfeng's name.

When Song Xuantin heard Linfeng's name her eyes brightened and her gossip mode was turned on.

"Linfeng? The Zhou Linfeng who is the number one most desired future husband by the girls in TIHS? Oh! His ranked is being challenged by the Guan guy-" Then Song Xuantin's eyes went wide behind her sun glasses.

"He is your aide! You're IN LOVE WITH YOUR AIDE!" Song Xuantin excitingly said.

It's like a soap opera! A forbidden love!

Xiong Zhi just looked blankly at the young girl who already forgotten her guarded stance against her. But her mind also perked up in two things :

First, Linfeng was ranked number one in most desired husband. This made her blood boil. So many women want to covet her man. She need to secure her place in Linfeng's heart.

'I need to make a move.'

Lastly, the Guan guy. The moment she heard that surname, made her afraid and mad at the same time. She dreaded the time when she had to meet the beast.
