She was no longer the young Liu Xixi who was played around by her own sister, but Shen Jingchen did not know any of this.

Time can change people, but only Shen Jingchen has been living at the top of the pyramid. He doesn't need to change the people around him, perhaps Shen Jingchen himself has changed, but he doesn't notice.

Shen Jingchen ate in a slow and unhurried manner, appearing as if he was a gentleman taught by the upper class. During this time, he continuously served dishes to Liuxi, and the food in the small bowl kept piling up.

Liu Xixi had gotten drunk last night and had no appetite. She ate the rice grain by grain. She was eager for Shen Jingchen to return her clothes to her as well as to escape from this cage.

”You don't want to know why I moved here?” Shen Jingchen pulled out a tissue and wiped his mouth clean before looking at Liu Xixi.

”I'm not interested at all.” Liu Xixi had thought about how Shen Jingchen had moved when she first came here, but that was only for a moment. It wasn't something she should waste her time worrying about.

”Oh?” Shen Jingchen dragged his words, but the expression on his face remained the same as usual. He had long anticipated that Liuxi would give such an answer, so his heart remained calm.

”Shen Mo Chen, what do you want?” Liu Xixi let out a long sigh that could not be heard. This man, whom she once deeply loved and even wished to climb the mountain of swords and descend the sea of flames for him, now made her feel as if she was sitting on pins and needles when interacting with him.

”Don't you know what I want?” Shen Jingchen narrowed his eyes, exuding an aura that made Liu Xixi feel uncomfortable.

”I don't know.”

”I said, I want to start over. Is that not straightforward enough?”

”Like I said, we're really out of the question.” Liu Xixi repeated her views time and time again, but this man always ignored him.

Sometimes, Liuxi wondered if she was from the same planet as this man. Why did she always say things that she didn't understand?

Without another word, Shen Jingchen left the table and headed towards the garden outside. Unlike the villa from before, which was devoid of Liuxi's favorite cherry blossoms, the cherry blossoms were replaced by some precious plants.

Liu Xixi sighed and got up to clean up the dishes. A servant walked in from outside and bowed respectfully to Liu Xixi. ”Miss, the young master asked the shop to send you some clothes.”

Liuxi took it and deliberately ignored the servant's probing gaze. She only said a ”thank you” before turning around and walking towards the washroom.

Inside the bag, from her dress to her underwear, she looked at the size of her underwear. It was exactly the size she wore, and her face was uncontrollably flushed.

Liu Xixi felt her whole body was refreshed, even her mood had inexplicably improved. Previously, when she was wearing Shen Jingchen's woolen sweater, she was too restrained, not even daring to make a sound.
