To Love You Again

Xiong Zhi mouth was tightly sealed. Her eyes was a little bit narrowed. Her brows were furrowed and her fist was clenched. She looked like she was having a stomach ace.

"....and then he gave me the candy. Can you imagine, after nine years I still hold onto him?! My little crush to him become a bomb! Every cell in my system only shouting for his name! How I wish he will look at me once." Song Xuantin said dreamily. Her hands were holding her heart-shape pretty face.

Xiong Zhi furrowed brows deepened. How many times Xuantin told her that story! She could even recited it right now. She badly wanted to shoo away Xuantin. Since yesterday, after their little encounter in the back court Xuantin was glued to her.

Now, in the middle of the class, Xuantin told her, her childhood story when she first fall in love to Gu Zhen. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

Many students around them secretly peeked at them. Of course anyone knew the hierarchy of the class. (Refer chapter 5) Xiong Zhi as a the young miss of Xiong family - who owned the number one business company in C country, was on the top of the food chain. While Song Xuantin- a daughter of both successful and famous Hollywood actress and director, in other words, a celebrity , was on the bottom of the chain. Even Song Xuantin was very pretty with her alluring eyes, thin brows, straight nose, thin lips, high cheekbone, small face and a model-like figure, with her status it was not enough to sit together with Xiong Zhi.

Xiong Zhi's calm temperament and noble aura did not seem quite fitting with Song Xuantin's sassy and lively attitude. Looking at them, was like looking at two different worlds together.

The teacher badly wanted to yell at the student at the back. Even her words were not clear, it's murmur echoed loudly in the room attracting other student's stares. Whenever he tried to speak, the girl's chattering become louder.

But he could not tell her to shut up. Every student here was wealthier than him. Better not to offend this golden child.

When the bell rang for the break, Xiong Zhi quickly stand up and escape from the girl's rumbling.

However, when she was already alone in her table in the quiet and tranquil cafeteria, a 'radio that did not have a turn off button' suddenly appeared in front of her.

"What are you doing here?"

Xiong Zhi could not help but bicker at Song Xuantin who sat comfortably in front of her.

Song Xuantin just looked at her with an eyebrow raised.

"We're best friends aren't we? We supposed to share food and eat together. ",She said in a matter-of-fact tone.

'Best friends? We just met yesterday...'

"I'm sorry , I'm not your best friend. I don't have one." Xiong Zhi said plainly. It's the truth though. Besides, she was regretting that she became a good matured person yesterday. She regretted that she pitied the girl and tried to explain to her, even revealing her love towards Linfeng, but she was also not concealing it though . She just regretted...that she talked to the girl. Now, she was reaping what she sowed.

Just thinking of becoming her best friend or friend at all gave Xiong? Zhi a scare. She had to reject her right away!

Song Xuantin smile brighter.

"Then you have me, we are now best friends! Besides, we just tell each other our deepest secret. Bestfriends share secrets!" Song Xuantin excitingly said.

"It's not a secret. It just happen that you were there, that you hear it. I can even tell it to the whole class. And I will reveal it to him soon. So, we don't share a secret. We are not 'best friend'." Xiong Zhi wasted her breath. She must absolutely never agree to this girl!

"Really? You will tell him soon? How?" However her last sentence did not reach in Song Xuantin's ears.

'How?

'How....

'HOW'

Xiong Zhi stared blankly at Song Xuantin. That's the big question that hunted her mind these past few days. She did not know HOW.

She looked away quickly and stand up, she need to escape from this girl's inquiries. Even she wanted to answer she should not. The girl would never stop talking to her. Her eardrums needs a rest.

"You know, best friends help each other. I can help you in your 'love problem'." Song Xuantin said while twirling her hair in her fingers.

Xiong Zhi stop her escape and looked at Song Xuantin. She weighted Song Xuantin's words. If the girl could really help her. She badly needed help. But then she remembered that this very girl in front of her was suffering from unrequited love for almost?nine years. How could this girl could help her if her own problem haven't resolve yet? She then say to Song Xuantin.

"I might consider it if your successful on your own."

(A/N: Xiong Zhi is talking about Xuantin's love problem.)

***[RR]: A/N...can she also help me in my love problem?***

(A/N : Just break-up, problem solved)

***[RR]: but I love him!***

(A/N: shut up, don't cause a ruckus here.)

Song Xuantin paled. She was good at helping others in their romantic issues. But hers, hers could not be solved easily. Because the man she was in love with was in love with something else!

Xiong Zhi walked away, however, that moment, a pretty small girl run towards their table, to Song Xuantin specifically.

The girl hold Xuantin's hands and said with tears in her eyes.

"Xuantin! How can I thank you Xuantin! Tell me, do you want my father to invest in your father's project? Or to your mother's movie? I will surely do it! Really really thank for your help! If not for you, I will never be Quilong's fiancé'!"

The girl said in one breath.

Song Xuantin eyes grew wide.

"Oh my! Last night was successful?!"

"En. I did what you told me to. A-and h-he he...",the girl blushed.

Song Xuantin stand up from excitement.

"He what?!Did he-?!"

On the side, Xiong Zhi was also curious. She stayed in her place standing, and waited for the girl to finish.

"H-he..he said he also like me...and w-we...we....eehhh" the girl covered her face that turned tomato red.

Song Xuantin understand the unspoken words. She jumped in glee.

"Congratulations! I'm so happy for you." She hugged the small girl.

"Thank you Xuantin, you are really good in solving romance issues...tell me how can I repay you?"

"No need. I'm just happy to see someone find happiness in their unrequited love."

The two girls was immersed in their own world while Xiong Zhi remain standing. Base on what she heard, Song Xuantin helped this small girl to win someone's love. And succeeded.

She contemplated. Can Xuantin help her?

The question is, can she do it by herself? She had no clue to this romantic relationship, or how to win a man.

She then remembered the words Song Xuantin said. That there was so many woman desired Linfeng.

She should not waste time. What if someone appear and snatch Linfeng? Worst,? if Linfeng also fall for that girl? Thinking this, Xiong Zhi curled up her fist. If it means sacrificing her eardrums and patience, she will comply. Even her eyes, feet and arms she would give, anything for Linfeng. She closed her eyes. She promised in this lifetime that she would do everything for Linfeng, for loving Linfeng, and also for him to love her.

Never they would face the tragic that happened in the past. When their blooming love just gone by a night.

Xiong Zhi opened her eyes, she faced Song Xuantin who was still excited in the small girl's story.

"I'll accept you as my best friend. In return, you have to be responsible."

For Xiong Zhi it was like a deal. Give and take.

It was just a title- best friend. In return, she could get all the help she wants.
