Sha Zhixing lay in bed. She thought about everything that had happened with Luo Xichen that night, and could not fall asleep no matter how hard she tossed and turned.
Her eyes drifted to the balcony from time to time. She was a little worried about that place.
If she provoked Luo Xichen again, he would come straight here and kill her. She would not even have the chance to run away.
Sha Zhixing was in bed with an uneasy heart. She tossed and turned, and only fell asleep in the middle of the night.
Luo Xichen returned to his room depressed and kept putting ice on his face. It was a good thing that he did not run into anyone else on his way back, or else he would not be able to explain himself.
Sitting on the leather chair by the window, he could not help but look in the direction of Sha Zhixing's room. He looked at her brightly lit room, then at the tightly shut window and balcony door. The corner of his eyes twitched.
Is this girl guarding against wolves?
Luo Xichen went up to bed with a heavy heart. It was already past two in the morning when he was in bed. As soon as he closed his eyes, Sha Zhixing's figure suddenly appeared in his mind. She had exquisite curves. Full curves and soft skin. The more he thought about it, the clearer his mind became.
In the end, they got up and went straight to the bathroom.
At three in the morning, in a room near Sha Zhixing's room in the Luo family's villa, the sound of running water suddenly rang out. It was an endless cycle...
Sha Zhixing had a very uneasy sleep. Half of the reason was because she was on guard against someone, and the other half was because of the sound of a shower that suddenly rang out in the middle of the night. The sound was not very loud, but it was close to her room. She had always been a light sleeper. That was why she was disturbed.
Mi Le had managed to get the headlines the next day by writing an exclusive on Luo Xichen. In an instant, news about the return of the Luo family's Crown Prince and the birth of a mysterious girlfriend spread like wildfire in City C.
Sha Zhixing was curled up on the sofa in the living room, holding a thick stack of newspapers. On the front of the newspaper was an extremely large photo of Luo Xichen and Su Yi from the night before, with a lot of exaggerated descriptions of their relationship.
An Xin walked over from the living room and saw Sha Zhixing's hands. She leaned over and glanced at the photo. She looked at the intimate actions of Luo Xichen and Su Yi in the photo and looked in Sha Zhixing's direction without batting an eyelid.
Sha Zhixing was holding a glass of milk and drinking it attentively. There was not much expression on her face. Her eyes were so indifferent that it was as if she was reading news about a stranger.
An Xin silently observed her reaction. Seeing the calmness in her eyes, her eyebrows slowly furrowed into an arc.
There was no reaction at all...
This was not the reaction of a person who had chosen a design major specifically for Luo Xichen.
After last night, Sha Zhixing's mother had automatically determined that Sha Zhixing's design major was for Luo Xichen. Based on Mo Ruoming's practical theory, An Xin was even more convinced of her own thoughts.
She had no idea that her own mother had secretly hooked her up with Luo Xichen. Sha Zhixing drank the last mouthful of milk and placed the newspaper on the side. "Mom, I have an appointment with my friend. I'll go out first."
"Be careful when you go out." An Xin took her backpack and handed it to Sha Zhixing with a smile.
"Got it. See you tonight." Sha Zhixing waved at her happily and turned to leave the house.
An Xin watched her leave quietly and her brows furrowed even tighter.
Was this girl really alright or was she forcing a smile?
Sha Zhixing and Mi Le had arranged to meet at a cafe. When they arrived, Mi Le was already sitting in her reserved seat and waiting.
Mi Le still felt a little guilty for leaving her behind last night. When she saw her come in, she first looked her up and down and carefully observed her expression. She pulled out the seat opposite for her very attentively. "Zhixing, sit here!"
Sha Zhixing glanced at her and said in a strange voice, "Do you remember me now?"
"What's our relationship? We can't forget you even if we forget each other." Mi Le pushed the seat aside and sat down beside her. She pretended to massage her shoulders and started to massage her back.
"Who was the person who ran away last night?" Sha Zhixing rolled her eyes and mocked her lightly.
"Miss, I was wrong, okay?" Mi Le held her arm intimately with one hand and leaned her head on her shoulder with a smile on her face.
"No!" Sha Zhixing snorted in disdain at her words.
It would have been unfair for her to abandon Sha Zhixing and run away from Luo Xichen when the reporters were not allowed to go in and out last night.
"I'm treating you to a meal as an apology?" Mi Le guessed that she would not argue with her based on their relationship. She was still smiling.
"Mi Le, do you think I'm that easy to bribe?" Sha Zhixing raised her eyebrows and looked at Mi Le with disdain.
"Seafood feast?" Mi Le gritted her teeth and started to soften the policy. However, when she thought about the money that a big meal would cost, her heart started to hurt.
Sha Zhixing glanced at her and was silent for a few seconds as if she was deep in thought. The corner of her lips suddenly curved up. "I helped you earn so much last night, and you're thanking me with 'one meal'?"
Mi Le felt a wave of fear in her heart.
How many meals did she have to eat if one meal was not enough? Then wouldn't she have to give away her old capital?
Wasn't this the capitalists exploiting the working class?
Thinking about how her pockets that could have been bulging might have shrunk again, Mi Le's heart twitched violently, and the expression on her face was very conflicted.
It was not that she was stingy, but thinking about how it felt to have to be reimbursed before she could even get her hands on the money, it really did not feel good.
Sha Zhixing liked to see her conflicted expression. Mi Le's personality was straightforward, and she never knew how to hide her emotions. What she thought was all written on her face, and the biggest characteristic was probably that she loved money as much as her life.
Using money to torture her made Sha Zhixing feel a little gratified.
Damn girl, who told you to abandon me just like that last night!
"Zhixing, what's our relationship? Using money to measure the value of a meal is too insulting to our pure friendship, right? Why don't we switch to a vegetarian diet?" Mi Le looked at her pitifully and shook her arm.
The corner of Sha Zhixing's eyes twitched a few times, but her face was expressionless. "I don't mind you using money to insult me occasionally."
Mi Le wanted to cry, but she had no tears. How did she get to know someone like Sha Zhixing? Why did she have to provoke her last night?
Sha Zhixing's mind was meticulous, and her observation ability was very strong. She was sensitive and could grasp the weaknesses of ordinary people. If she provoked someone, she would step on their weaknesses and torture them. She did not need to use a knife to see blood, but she could make people's hearts feel like it was stabbed with knives. Compared to money, Mi Le would rather be beaten by her and scolded by her...
