Rebirth of a Fashionista: This Life Is Soo Last Season

Chapter 114 - Brushing Up Feelings Everyday

Three days after Sheng Jiaoyang had moved to the house in the Northern suburbs, she saw Shen Zhining.

When he walked in, she was holding a wine glass and sipping from it as she sat on the hanging chair on the balcony. She was enjoying the night breeze as she flipped through a book, her days clearly relaxed.

Shen Zhining clearly didn't come here often. The interior decoration was very simple, so once Sheng Jiaoyang had arrived, she'd rearranged her bedroom and even redecorated the living room and balcony. She'd also added a bookshelf, plants, a hanging chair, and some little puppets scattered around the living room. The puppets were recently gifted to her, but she didn't have space in the dorms. So, she'd just set them here.

The living room was no longer empty and cheerless. Instead, it was now a warm and homey area.

When Shen Zhining had entered, he almost thought that he'd gone into the wrong room. Only when he saw somebody step out did he remember that he'd agreed to let Xu Jiaojiao live here a few days ago.

"You're back!" Sheng Jiaoyang stood up, greeting him with a smile.

Shen Zhining stared at her for a moment. Nobody else was in the room, so she didn't need to fawn over him. "Do you need something?"

Sheng Jiaoyang's lips twitched, but she kept the smile on her face as she continued, "I've been reflecting on my actions for the past few days. I realised I haven't done a good job acting as your fake girlfriend, and had even made other people suspicious. Therefore, I decided that from now on, I'll work hard to act my part."

Shen Zhining didn't comment as he turned around to go upstairs.

After he'd washed up and went to read in the study, a knock suddenly sounded on his door. He frowned slightly and asked coldly, "What?"

Instead of waiting for his approval, the person on the other side of the door directly entered the room.

"I mixed some alcohol for you, drink it and see if it helps you sleep." Sheng Jiaoyang smiled as she walked in with a wine glass.

"Get out!" Shen Zhining's face darkened.

Sheng Jiaoyang thickened her skin and set the wine glass on the table. "Alright, then I'll leave first. Good night!"

She lightly closed the door behind her.

Shen Zhining looked at the beautiful colour of the wine, and an image of Xu Jiaojiao happily sitting in the hanging chair on the balcony appeared in his mind. It's not like he'd never seen women who liked to drink before, but this was the first time he'd seen such a self-enjoying drunkard.

When he finally reacted, the wine glass was already in his hand as he lightly sniffed it. The sweet aroma of fruit blended perfectly with the alcohol, making him feel like he was about to drool. He glanced at the door to see if she'd come back, then he took a small sip. It was like his taste buds were baptised by the wondrous flavour as the furrows between his brows relaxed.

Good flavour had the ability to make one recall the experience even when the taste had been forgotten. If they encountered a similar taste, they'd feel like something was missing and wouldn't be able to help but long for that same flavour again.

Another day passed with yet another banquet. It was actually still early, but for some reason, Shen Zhining told the chauffeur to go to the Northern suburbs. He entered the house and found that all the lights were off. He stood there silently for two seconds before using voice control to turn on the lights, noticing all the little puppets around the living room. He laid down on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest for a bit when he suddenly heard the door open. His breathing lightened, but he didn't immediately open his eyes.
