【25】

  I don't know if it was the hangover soup that Shen Duan gave me, but I woke up the next morning with a much less painful head, just a little dizzy. Shen Duan must have heard the sound of me getting out of bed and knocked on the door: "Liu Jia, can I come in?"

  "Ah, okay."

  He pushed the door open and his disheveled appearance gave me a fright. I had always seen him dressed impeccably, but now his shirt was wrinkled, sleeves rolled up, looking utterly worn out.

  "What's wrong with you?"

  Shen Duan lowered his head and looked at himself, bitterly smiling: "I don't even know who it is, got drunk and acted like a fool."

  It can't be mine...

  "It's you."

  :)

  "No way." I said, clutching the corner of the quilt, extremely tangled.

  He smiled and said, "Just kidding."

  I told you so...

  "Want to eat?" He walked over, pulled the quilt aside, then went outside and brought back a bag handed it to me "Try it."

  "What?" I asked as I opened "clothes?"

  "Uh-huh." He nodded casually "A friend sent them over, one for you and one for Liu Xin each."

  I feel at peace with myself and think this is what should be done. I didn't decline again either.

  He saw me wanting to change clothes and pointed to a door, saying: "That's the bathroom, go take a shower first. Then I'll take you downstairs for some breakfast."

  "Good."

  Shen Duan walked out and closed the door on his way. I rummaged through the bag he gave me, surprisingly finding underwear inside, which made me feel extremely embarrassed. I couldn't help but blush while sitting there.

  The bathroom is very large, it's a suite. I thought to myself that the young master's place is really luxurious. After walking in, the shelves are filled with men's products, and next to them is a small bag with the DIOR logo. I opened it and took a look, they're all women's products.

  Could this be left by some woman?

  I don't care if this is Shen Zong's nth leftover, anyway I won't use men's facial cleanser. Took out a few satisfactory ones from the bag and went to take a bath with excitement.

  A steaming hot bathtub, I've blown a lot of bubbles. With a sigh of relief, I feel truly happy, what's there to be dissatisfied with? In fact, many things aren't that simple, how big can the deal be? One Du Bin, one Jin Tongtong, how much of a wave can they stir up? I blew some more bubbles and thought to myself, life is beautiful. Why worry?

  After washing, I put on the clothes that Shen Dong gave me. It's really unexpected, I don't know if his friend is always surrounded by beautiful women or not, but he even bought clothes that fit perfectly, and the underwear is so tight-fitting, it's impressive.

  I pushed open the door: "I've finished washing."

  Shen Duan sat on the sofa, lost in thought, and for a moment, his distant gaze was truly captivating. I almost gasped. This demon!

  "Oh." He stood up and walked over to me, frowning as he looked at me "Why didn't you dry your hair?"

  I pouted: "Can't wipe it dry, all water."

  He looked at me, sighed, and went into the house to get a large towel and hair dryer.

  "Sit on the sofa."

  I ran over obediently.

  He plugged in the hair dryer and stood behind me, first gently using a large towel to dry my hair.

  I'm too lazy for this, so I said: "Just blow-dry your hair directly."

  "Blowing your hair damages its quality, if I wasn't afraid you'd starve your stomach. I won't let you blow it for sure."

  Alas...... Is it worth living such a meticulous life for a man?

  He turned on the hair dryer at medium heat, which wasn't too hot. Gently stroking my hair, I felt drowsy and it was really comfortable.

  "Alright."

  I dazedly replied: "Oh."

  He patted my face: "Don't sleep, go downstairs to eat."

  I'm really hungry too, I stood up and followed him: "Where's Liu Xian?"

  "I just went to call her, she's probably still sleeping. I didn't want to go in, so tell the servant that if she gets up, take her directly to the restaurant downstairs."

  "Oh."

  When I went downstairs, it was still the password elevator that sat there. I had never seen such a device before and couldn't stop staring at it.

  "What are you looking at?"

  Shen Dang leaned in close, his warm breath on my ear making me giggle uncontrollably.

  "Stop messing around." I pushed him away "No respect for elders or youngers."

  He didn't get angry, he just quietly looked at me, like when I was a kid and loved watching the White Lady, with a feeling that no matter how much I watched, it wasn't enough.

  The downstairs was very quiet, making it hard to imagine that this is the city's most lively nightclub. He led me into a private room, where several people were already seated, around a rectangular table with the main seat empty. Shen Zhong walked towards the main seat without looking at anyone, and I followed closely behind him, taking a seat on the edge of the main seat with a stiff upper lip.

  I took a glance around and found that these people were basically the same ones who had dinner with Shen Dong that time. The circle of rich second-generation, it's not like they can escape from just a few people.

  A boy opposite me smiled lewdly and said, "Sister, did you have a good rest yesterday?"

  This doesn't sound like good news, indeed... The boys on the table smiled knowingly. Before I could even open my mouth, a girl next to me said: "She's relieved, but it's a pity for our young master."

  What's this got to do with anything? I looked back... Oh, isn't that the one who stopped Shen Dong last night?

  "Hey......" The boy jeered "How did you know? Could it be......"

  "Shoo! You're always thinking about those useless things."

  "How did you know?"

  "Last night, the young master was running up and down the stairs, fetching water and sobering soup. Later, he even asked me to find a few ice towels." She turned her head to look at me, "You're really troublesome when you get drunk."

  I dryly laughed and didn't know how to respond because I had no memory of the things she was talking about.

  She seemed dissatisfied with my attitude and continued: "Early this morning, the young master called Lin Peng at 6 o'clock! The DIOR store of Lin Peng's family opened for business and received the young master."

  She said that, and I couldn't help but look at Shen Duan. It wasn't until then that I noticed the fatigue he couldn't hide on his face. He was still so young, and by all accounts should be full of energy, if not for being genuinely exhausted, probably wouldn't be like this.

  I recall my clothes and ladies' supplies in the bathroom, with a warm current in my heart.

  "Really?..."

  "Xiao Cha." Shen Duan called out faintly, saying indifferently, "Don't talk during meals, don't you have the most basic table manners?"

  This is...

  Everyone fell silent and ate their breakfast quietly. I stole a glance at him and found that he was also looking at me.

  "Thank you." I said softly.

  He held his chopsticks in mid-air and didn't say anything for a while before finally saying, "No need."

  Then he put down his chopsticks, and there was still unfinished food in the plate and bowl. Everyone at the table looked at him, Shen Zhong kept his head down, but I could feel the anger emanating from all over his body.

  He picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth, stood up and walked towards the door. Everyone looked at me again, I really couldn't bear their gossiping eyes. Had no choice but to get up and follow him out.

  Before I could talk to Shen Dang, I saw Liu Xin coming out of the elevator.

  "Sister!"

  As expected, she's wearing the same one as me.

  I forced a smile: "How's your rest?"

  "Hmm!" Being young is great, a good sleep and you're full of energy again.

  "Let's go."

  Liu Xin looked around: "Where's Shen Duo?"

  "I don't know."

  She seemed a bit disheartened: "Oh... well, let's go then."

  The service staff had already called a taxi for me and Liu Xin at the door. At the moment I got on the car, I inexplicably turned my head to look up at the second floor.

  He stood quietly there, quietly looking at me. Through the glass, I couldn't see his expression very clearly.

  I don't know if I've done anything wrong, but I always feel like I owe him an apology.

  Shen Diao, I owe him a lot.
