Ultimate Goddess System 33 1.1.33: Frenemies

Xiao Yunhua screamed. "Close your eyes!" She was so very embarrassed. How could such a thing happen? Life sucked. Immediately, Zhou Feng closed his eyes, like the gentleman he was, and Xiao Yunhua quickly stood up and used the clip again. With a red face, she bowed her head with embarrassment. Tonight was not a good night.

"Follow me." Zhou Feng's cold eyes opened again when she said that he could. Even though his face was apathetic, he felt heat rushing through his body. She was his brother's woman even if he was sure that she did not hold feelings for him; nonetheless, she was a forbidden fruit that reeked temptation. She was the only thing that he, as a Zhou young master, could not touch.

Xiao Yunhua obediently followed him to a guest room. When they arrived and stopped at the door, he turned around and stared at her. His cold eyes made her shiver, involuntarily, so she couldn't help but avert her gaze. "I guess this is goodnight. You know, this wouldn't have been a problem if you weren't an asshole." Although she grumbled the last part, he still heard her perfectly clear.

"Ha. I've never met anyone like you."

"Bullshit." Xiao Yunhua rolled her eyes. "That line is so... sappy and cliché." She expected for Zhou Feng to get angry, but on the contrary, he cracked a smile on his eternally cold face.

"Since I cannot steal my brother's woman away, I can only want to be your friend. Purely platonic."

"Purely platonic yet your eyes suggest the desires of a wolf." Her blunt statement was met with a surge of confidence. Zhou Feng really found it interesting that she changed her personality from an embarrassed woman to one with spitfire so quickly. In fact, he was also astonished about how the woman who had to use a clip to keep the pajamas given to from falling off, managed to become a living temptress when she gave performances.

"Besides, I don't want to be your friend." Zhou Feng raised an eyebrow at how ambiguous her words sounded. "The most we could be is probably... frenemies."

"What a childish term," Zhou Feng's smile widened. "but if that's what you prefer, then by all means, use it."

Xiao Yunhua narrowed her eyes at his mocking look and humphed, going inside and shutting the door. A wave of dizziness slammed her in the head.

What's going on?

'Xiao Taotao, I'm doing my best. Love is not something that can forced. If I force it, then it'll will shatter and I will start from the beginning.'

Xiao Taotao sighed in exasperation and disappeared from her thoughts. Nonetheless, the dizziness didn't cease to exist and seemed to enhance, almost like the system was warning her.

"Alright! Please, stop!" Xiao Yunhua breathed in pain. "Please, I'm begging you. Stop this pain." It was almost as bad as the pain in her traumatic experience, but a different type of pain. The dizziness seemed to make her head want to explode into smithereens. The pain was so overwhelming that she suddenly blacked out.

When she woke up, she realized that it was the next morning and the chirping of birds rung outside. The sunlight streamed through the window and would've blinded her, had it not been for the curtains.

Xiao Yunhua yawned, but panicked when she realized that she wasn't by the door, where she originally blacked out. Looking at her clothes, she was relieved to see that she was wearing the same thing that she was wearing the night before.

Did she picture her headache and dizziness from before? She didn't understand what happened. Xiao Yunhua contemplated on whether or not she would ask Zhou Feng, but decided against it. She found her dress, along with the rest of her clothes, and held them in her arms. She opened the door and smelled the scent of mouthwatering food in the air.

Glancing at the table, she saw an already dressed in a suit Zhou Feng sitting and drinking coffee. As though he sensed her, he turned around and his cold eyes met with hers. "Good morning; slept well?" His voice held no mirth, but was still somewhat warm, only if one listened carefully.

"Your ambiguous words make it seem like I'd be tired from doing a vigorous activity." Xiao Yunhua mused dryly.

Zhou Feng pretended to not understand the meaning behind her words and smirked, "Couldn't I ask my dear friend—no, frenemy?"

Xiao Yunhua only shot him a glare and took the seat opposite to him. Seeing the rice and stuffed buns, she quickly gobbled down the food and calmed down her growling stomach. Zhou Feng's eyes looked as though he was watching a very interesting scenario unfold before him.

"It's thanks to you that I skipped dinner." Xiao Yunhua childishly blamed and continued to eat more food. "You're being blamed for everything."

"If it helps you clear your mind, then I'll carry and burden that you want." His gentle, flirtatious words shocked Xiao Yunhua.

An awkward silence followed his words. Xiao Yunhua almost choked on the food that she was eating. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the same phone that she used the night before. Quickly calling for a taxi, Xiao Yunhua decided that their 'adventure' would come to an end today.

"I don't need to tell you, right?"

Even though Zhou Feng was annoyed at her words, he still nodded. "No one will know that you were with me." Hearing his confirmation, Xiao Yunhua sighed in relief.

Ten or so minutes later, Xiao Yunhua saw that the taxi was outside of the Magnolia penthouse. She sighed in relief, but before she could leave, Zhou Feng stopped her.

"Your number?" Seeing her narrowed eyes, he added, "I have to make sure that I can contact my frenemy, remember?"

Xiao Yunhua rolled her eyes at his antics and added her number to his phone. Afterwards when she was done, she bid him goodbye and quickly left with the taxi.

Zhou Feng watched her leave with clenched fists. His heart fumed with jealousy, especially against his own younger brother...
