To Love You Again-Chapter 35 - Chap 29: Preparation (II)

Tomorrow quickly comes. In different areas, four teenagers were dressing themselves.

In a certain room, a girl was applying a lipstick in front of the mirror. But she was not satisfied. She get a tissue and erased her handiwork earlier. She get another lipstick with a lighter shade. She applied it. But the girl just furrowed her brow. Getting another tissue, she erased it again. 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com

It took her five minutes to settle into a lip bum. Next her hair, she get a cute ribbon to tie her hair. After she pony tail it, she turned around. Not satisfied, she get a cute pink pin with a heart design on it. An annoying friend gave it to her. In fact, all the make up kit, the cute ribbon, pins, and headband were from that girl.She was looking for simple hair pin when a knock sounded in her room.

"Young miss. Mr. Zhou Linfeng is downstairs." The maid said.

Crash. Clang

Pins scattered to the ground. Xiong Zhi was now in panicked. She was still not prepared . She haven't done anything to her hair. And she barely put make up. She did not even know if her dress was suitable to her. She felt clumsy today and she had many things she did not know what to do.

The maid heard the commotion inside the room.

"Young miss Zhi? Are you okay? Do you want me to come in?" The maid was worried. Her young miss was usually quiet in her room. Her young miss was not planning to commit suicide right? Well, no one could blame the maid. No one really knew what their young miss was thinking nor her feelings.

Xiong Zhi eyes lit up.

"Please come in!"? Maybe the maid could help her!

In past lifetime, the maids were the one? who were taking care of her hair and make up whenever she went outside. So even she was twenty three inside, she did not know how to doll up herself. Song Xuantin gave her tips that she must be simple but beautiful today to catch Linfeng's attention. Because of today's event, she panicked and did not think clearly. She forgot she had maids.

The maid entered the room. It was the same maid that she first met after her reborn.

(A/n: remember her? When Xiong Zhi asked the year? That's her.)

"Can you help with my face? A-and also my hair." Xiong Zhi said a little bit shy.

In both lifetimes, it would be her first date with Linfeng. So she must look her best.

The maid was startled. She looked around the room. Clothes in the bed. Disorganize make up kits in the dressing table. Hair pins scattered on the ground. Then she looked at her young miss. The cute light blue dress hugged her tiny waist and flow down freely stopping at her knees making her long smooth legs stand out more. Her white thin coat was a little transparent covering her white shoulder. Her feet was admired by a dark blue pair of doll shoes with ribbon in it. For the first time, the girl in front of her wear light color clothes decreasing the air of coldness and indifference aura of the girl. Instead, today her young miss look refreshing and comfortable. It suits her age very well.

"C-can you help me?" Xiong Zhi's words brought out the maid in daze.

But again she was quickly startled.

Her young miss looked flushed and fidgeting. She went to pick up the pins then left it. And tried a headband, take it off, and tried another again. Her cold statue young miss was nowhere. But in front of her is a blooming maiden who were excited for a date.

'Eh.....

'Eh?!!!!'

To confirm her guess, the maid asked Xiong Zhi.

"Young miss. Do you have a date today?"

Xiong Zhi was trying another headband and stopped when she asked. She looked at the maid and just nodded.

"Kyaaahhhhh! Young miss! You are a lady now! I cant believe that there will be a man who will move our young miss! Don't worry, this maid, have gone to many dates before. Let me help you with your make up." After the maid squealed. She walked to Xiong Zhi.

She applied a light pink blush, lip tint, curl her long lashes and put light powder in her face. The maid made Xiong Zhi's make up very light. For she know that her young miss natural beauty was her best asset. Then she proceed to her hair.

"Young miss. Your hair is very smooth, long and natural straight. I think its better to let it flow freely in your back. From what I know, men like long hair especially if its smooth like this. If you put it down, your date will be tempted to touch it." The maid said while combing Xiong Zhi's hair. When the maid mentioned something about men like long hair, her mind wandered to a scene in the past.

\ In the cold night in the balcony, Linfeng stand up and walked towards me. He was wearing a plain white long sleeve and white pajamas. I was captivated by the music he played earlier and was lead in this place. A cold breeze passed and my long hair spread sideways following the wind. I hug my body for warmth. I was only wearing a nightgown under my robe.

A pair of jade-like hands put the strand of my hair that was obstructing my vision behind my ear. I waited for him to let go but he did not. He just let his hand behind my ear staring at me. His hand then followed my long black hair and get a handful of it. His hand stopped at the tips and then brought it to his lips. I was shocked for a moment and did not move. Seeing him kissing my hair, my heart stop beating then it beat faster. I put my hand in my chest to calm it. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

"Zhi'er has the most beautiful hair in the world. I can't help but admire it." Linfeng said his lips still touching my hair.

Until morning comes, that scene never left my mind./

Xiong Zhi smiled at the memory. Thinking of that scene, she was sure that was the day that she was seeing Linfeng in a different light. She did not know what is love before or what she was feeling. But now she was sure. She had feelings for Linfeng since at that time.

"Finish! Let me see how beautiful are you!"

Xiong Zhi stand up and look at her reflection. She look simple but elegant. Her make up was light but it enhance her feature. The maid was right. With her black hair down she look more enchanting.

She thank the maid and get her blue purse. Ten minutes had already passed since Linfeng came.

Going down stairs her heart was beating fast. She was excited but a little nervous. She tried to calm herself. And her heart slowed down a little. However, when she saw the figure downstairs looking at her with his mesmerizing eyes, her heart beat faster again. While walking closer to him she took all her eyes could see.

Linfeng was wearing a dark blue polo short, it sleeves reach in his elbow. His polo short was opened and inside was a white v-neck shirt. He coupled it with black pants and white sneakers. All in all, Linfeng looked handsome and young.

Linfeng stared at Xiong Zhi blankly. After a minute passed, the maid that accompanied Xiong Zhi coughed loudly. This wake up Linfeng from his daze. He was embarrassed. He offered his hands for Xiong Zhi. Xiong Zhi accepted it and said.

"You look dashing Linfeng . It suits you." Xiong Zhi said sincerely with a small smile.

Linfeng was embarrassed again. He forgot his manners.

"Young miss Zhi dress suits you as well. Y-you look beautiful." He said the last sentence in a soft voice.

Actually, he knew etiquette and being in the banquet for many times he knew how to praise a lady. What he said earlier was his usual line when he have to compliment a lady. However, even it was the same words he could not help but feel a little different. Like it was his first time saying it to a lady. He was...embarrassed? He did not want to think the word shy.

The two walked towards the car with gracefulness. One was nervous and excited while the other was confused.
