To Love You Again

Chapter 105 - Invitations



Chapter 105 - Invitations

Xiong Zhi pitied Lu Yin Ze and gave him advice.

"You should give up."

Lu Yin Ze's silver eyes opened wide.

"G-give up what?" Lu Yin Ze tried to calm himself. He was not prepared. Should he invite them now? But there's an additional person that was not invited.

Xiong Zhi nod at Gu Zhen's direction.

Lu Yin Ze was confused.

'What does it mean?'

Should he invite Gu Zhen as well?

'Well, it's alright to invite him too..'

"Song Xuantin is madly in love with Gu Zhen. You don't stand a chance. It's better if you don't break the couple. You'll only get hurt. " Xiong Zhi sincerely pitied Lu Yin Ze. But she personally thinks its better for him to learn about it as early as now.

'HAAAAAAAAA?????'

Lu Yin Ze has a blank face.

'What's that all about?'

Xiong Zhi saw how life left Lu Yin Ze.

This pitiful child who was suicidal a month ago got his heartbroken. Xiong Zhi sincerely hope he would not take this blow too much.

"You're still young. A Lu at that. For sure, you'll find the right person for you."

She comforted Lu Yin Ze.

Lu Yin Ze was really confused. He tried to understand what Xiong Zhi was talking about.

Then he noticed how Xiong Zhi looked at Song Xuantin and Gu Zhen then to him with pity.

'Wait.'

He finally understands it.

Lu Yin Ze laughed.

"You're mistaken. I don't have any feelings towards her. She's only a friend."

Lu Yin Ze actually wanted to say that he doesn't have a choice but to accept Song Xuantin as his friend since that girl was Xiong Zhi's only friend.

Xiong Zhi just looked at him. Her eyes were still pitying him but she nodded.

"I understand."

Lu Yin Ze felt like there's something wrong.

Then he remembered the talked yesterday.

"Oh. Yesterday you ask me about the land we acquired recently. I asked grandfather about it."

Xiong Zhi was stunned.

'Grandfather...the Master Lu?'

"He told me that my brother purchased it under Lu's name. It belongs to my brother now."

Xiong Zhi was silent.

She knew there are two young masters in the Lu family. However, she was not clear about the internal struggles in the Lu Family.

But based on Lu Yin Ze expression, it seems like he and his brother don't have a close relationship.

"I see. Thank you for telling me this." Xiong Zhi appreciates Lu Yin Ze's effort for this.

"I only ask my grandfather about it. Too bad though, I can only give you that much."

Xiong Zhi shook her head to indicate it was alright and it's enough. She was only curious. It turned out a young master of Lu owned it. Now it's more clearer for her that they would really have no chance to get the land.

"I'm surprised your grandfather give you the information. Does he know that you will tell it to me?"

Lu Yin Ze smiled.

"Nah. My grandfather knows I am your friend. It's not a big deal to him. " Then Lu Yin Ze suddenly thought that it might not be the case to Xiong Zhi.

Suddenly, the courage he was gathering up to invite Xiong Zhi was losing again.

'Should I..?'

'Should I not..?'

Then Lu Yin Ze tried to test the water first.

"Uhm. What you're gonna do this weekend?"

Xiong Zhi checked her phone while she answered.

She would go to SHM - meeting

IHZHI - meeting

The investors- meeting

then with,

Linfeng - meeting <3

"Meeting. A lot of meetings."

Lu Yin Ze's courage was dragged down to zero.

"Oh. You're so busy haha." He awkwardly laughed. He put his hands to cover his blazer's pocket.

"Yeah. Why asking?" Xiong Zhi put down her phone and turned to Lu Yin Ze.

"Oh. It's nothing. " He put up a smile to put away the disappointment he was feeling inside.

He stands up.

"I'll go first." He then went away. His hands were still covering his blazer's pocket.

Xiong Zhi was a bit baffled.

Then her phone rang.

Xiong Zhi taps the answer button and waits for the other person to talk.

"Ms. Xiong Zhi?" It was Mr. Bang.

Xiong Zhi was silent for a moment. She did not expect that Mr. Bang already thought it out.

"Yes."

"Ah. Sorry to suddenly call you. I think I need to tell you as soon as possible of what I decide."

"Mhhm."

"I want to take your offer."

Xiong Zhi smiled. She did not doubt it.

"That's good to hear. I'll make sure you will not regret it. I'll notify you of our next meeting after school."

"I'll wait for it. Thank you, Ms. Xiong Zhi, for giving me the chance."

"Let's work hard."

"En."

Xiong Zhi ends the call.

Since she got the approval of the creator of ArtWorld, she could now focus on those investors and the creation of ArtWorld.

The bell rang.

"Oh. Lunch is so fast. We should complain to school directors to add one more hour to our lunch break." Song Xuantin grumbled. She turned to Xiong Zhi.

"You should tell them. They will listen to you. If you and Lu Yin Ze-" Song Xuantin finally noticed that Lu Yin Ze was gone.

"Eh, where is he?" She asked looking around.

Xiong Zhi shrugged her shoulders.

"Probably, he's too upset." Xiong Zhi mumbled.

But the two still caught it.

Song Xuantin raised her eyebrow, wondering. While Gu Zhen adjusts his eyeglasses.

****

The bell rang and students cheered.

Lu Yin Ze opened his bag and silently look at the two invitation cards.

He was feeling down.

He failed to give it out.

A shadow loomed over him and he quickly covers it.

Xiong Zhi was looking at Lu Yin Ze.

Lu Yin Ze was silent throughout the class. He was probably still upset.

"Fighting." Xiong Zhi cheer up for him once more.

Even though Lu Yin Ze doesn't know what's that for. It made him cheer up a bit.

He smiled. There were a sincere thanks in his silver eyes.

"I'll head out first. See you tomorrow." Xiong Zhi said as she held her bag.

"Mhm. See you tomorrow."

Xiong Zhi went out.

Lu Yin Ze finally took out the invitation card.

He sighed.

Then a hand suddenly grabbed the cards.

"Whoa. So this what you've been hiding."

Song Xuantin exclaimed while she examined the envelope.

Lu Yin Ze was startled that he stands up.

He totally forgot Song Xuantin!

"Woah! My name is here! This is for me? I told you I won't read your love letter. My heart already belongs to someone else."

She was about to give it back. But she suddenly noticed there's another envelope.

"Woah! It's Xiong Zhi! So since I reject you, you'll try the second route? Your plan B is Xiong Zhi. I'm telling you, Xiong Zhi's heart is also-" Song Xuantin was opening the envelope which has Xiong Zhi's name while talking. She stopped when she read the card.

It was written:

[ Dear Ms. Xiong Zhi,

We happily informed you that you are invited to Second Young Master Lu Yin Ze's seventeenth birthday this Sunday, Date **/**/** at Luxury Hotel, Address ***, *****, ****. We will eagerly await your presence! ]

Song Xuantin was left open-mouthed.

"You will be turning sevenpfff#%#"!" Lu Yin Ze quickly covers Song Xuantin's mouth.

"Shh. Don't be too loud." Lu Yin Ze looked around. There are still some students left.

"What are you doing?" Gu Zhen was behind Lu Yin Ze.

Lu Yin Ze let Song Xuantin go.

"None of your business." Aside from Xiong Zhi and Song Xuantin, Lu Yin Ze showed his typical attitude to anyone at this school. It includes Gu Zhen.

Gu Zhen just furrowed his brow. He pulled Song Xuantin and pick up her bag.

"Let's go. We still have a lot of things to do. "

Song Xuantin was happy. But based on the studies, the girl should show hesitations and naivety sometimes.

"Ah? We are already done in SSS."

She said it coquettishly which makes Lu Yin Ze cringe. If Xiong Zhi was here she would have the same expression too.

However, the receiver, Gu Zhen doesn't mind. It looks like he had more important things to do.

"I need the script to draft the graphic effects. Don't tell me you forgot we have a project in history?" He said while pulling Song Xuantin out of the room.

How Song Xuantin could forget about it? She was too excited that she already finished the script. But it was a 'group' project. It includes Xiong Zhi and Lu Yin Ze as well.

Song Xuantin silently peeked at Lu Yin Ze. Lu Yin Ze was looking around then turned to them. Then he ran after them.

"We should go! We should go!" Song Xuantin grabbed Gu Zhen and ran.

The two got out of juniors building then Song Xuantin turned around the corner. When she can't find Lu Yin Ze anymore Song Xuantin turned to Gu Zhen and asked while catching her breath.

"Oh yeah! I had the script with me. So where we should stay? Yours or mine*?"

'How I wish I could say it* again after five years. But in a different situation hehe'

Gu Zhen just raised his brow. Wondering why the heck they ran.

"Yours. My Pa is too strict. There's a lot of checkpoints in my house."

Gu Zhen answered. He did not question why they ran.

"Alright! Let's go!" Song Xuantin excitedly said.

'Me and my husband at my house!! Waah! A dream come true!'

Song Xuantin headed to the car while looking around for Lu Yin Ze. She was afraid Lu Yin Ze would come with them to help with the project. Since he was supposed to be a part of this group.

'Sorry, Yin Ze. Give this chance to me.'

Meanwhile, Lu Yin Ze comes back to their classroom. He looked around once more.

When he could not find it, he concluded that Song Xuantin's must have taken the invitations.

His body was weak so he can't catch up to them.

'Sigh.'

Lu Yin Ze was not sure if what happened was good or not.

Does it mean that he accidentally but successfully give out the invitations? But how about Xiong Zhi? Would Song Xuantin give it to her? But was it supposed to be him to give it to her? More than that, Xiong Zhi already expressed that she was busy this weekend. It might burden her.

So, should he take it back from Song Xuantin and prevent her from giving it to Xiong Zhi? Or just let Song Xuantin give it to Xiong Zhi and let fate decide?

' Agh!! I'm so confused!'
