As time passed, minute by minute, nearing the evening, Sheng Jiaoyang gradually grew more anxious.
When it was dinnertime, she wasn't in the mood to play tricks on Shen Zhining and absent-mindedly ate her dinner in silence.
Daisy's mind was filled with thoughts on how to seize the final chance at love, so she didn't have the time to care about her rival's mood. Contrariwise, Fu Failin noticed Sheng Jiaoyang's strange behaviour and specifically reminded Shen Zhining to show more concern towards his girlfriend before she went to rest upstairs.
Shen Zhining nodded in acknowledgment when speaking with Andy, but he forgot about Sheng Jiaoyang the moment he turned around. He went upstairs by himself.
Sheng Jiaoyang dilly-dallied in the living room for a few hours until Felix reminded her, "Miss Xu, it's quite late already. You should go upstairs and rest early." Only then did she summon up a bit of courage and started moving, proceeding like a slowpoke to the third floor.
Shen Zhining's bedroom interior consisted mainly of the colours black, white and grey. Apart from these, she hardly saw any other colours. The walls were white, the carpets were grey, and the bed was black. Sheng Jiaoyang stepped into the room and felt visually challenged. She didn't like dull coloured interior, but this was Demon King Shen's territory. So, even if she didn't like something, there was nothing she could do, nor could she change anything as she wished.
The only furniture in the room that was in a different colour was her dressing table placed in a corner.
Sheng Jiaoyang didn't know what triggered it, but she couldn't help but recall some memories of her childhood. One time, Little Devil Prince Shen occupied her bedroom, which was meticulously decorated by her mother. Inside her bedroom was an azure-blue coloured ceiling decorated with tiny stars that glowed in the dark, a pink coloured queen-sized bed on which she could freely roll about, silky soft snow-white carpets, a gallery wall filled with her childhood photos...in short, Little Devil Prince Shen must've loved that kind of bedroom style. Otherwise, why would he occupy her bedroom when there were so many other rooms available in her mansion?
Following this, Little Devil Prince Shen finally opened up to her and started to smile more often, even teasing her from time to time. However, not long after, Grandfather Shen came to pick him up and they left together.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze?" Shen Zhining's sudden question brought her back to reality.
Sheng Jiaoyang blinked her eyes before shifting her gaze to Shen Zhining, who was sitting by the bedside in a black robe. She asked hesitantly, "Where am I supposed to sleep tonight?"
"Anywhere except the bed," Shen Zhining replied indifferently.
Sheng Jiaoyang scanned her surroundings, noticing that not even a sofa was available. She ground her teeth and decided to...endure it. The sooner she got the task at hand done, the sooner she could escape from Demon King Shen. But, looking at his 'incapable of love' expression, she instantly relaxed. She no longer had to worry about Demon King Shen doing something to her at night.
As soon as she stepped into the bathroom, she heard Demon King Shen say, "Don't use my bathtub, and don't touch my things."
Who is going to use his stuff?! Even if he begged her to, she wouldn't, alright?! Even she's not that unhygienic, tsk tsk! Sheng Jiaoyang's mouth was twitching as she closed the door.
After washing up, she changed into a set of unrevealing pajamas. She found herself a bed sheet and a quilt on the second floor, and moved them up to the room, placing them near the floor-to-ceiling window some distance away from Shen Zhining's bed. She made a bed on the floor and wrapped herself with the thin quilt. With her back facing the bed, she let her thoughts wander for a while before falling asleep.
