Shi Shen stayed still for another 20 minutes. Once he was sure that no one was going to come in he slowly opened his eyes then got off the bed.
He needed to quickly wash his face since he knew that his face was a total mess at this moment.
However, as soon as he saw his face that appeared on the surface of the mirror he almost tripped and fell flat on the floor.
Since Lin Yue liked girly stuff, he even decorated his room into one which looked like a princess room and even how he dressed up was not an exception.
He even wore makeup.
So now that he had just cried not long ago there was no need for him to tell how he was currently looked like.
He was close to a replica of a ghost.
No wonder, Nian Qichen ran away that quick.
Not waiting any longer he began to clean his face and applied the makeup remover.
Only 15 minutes later did he finally remove everything on his face.
Since Lin Yue took a really good care with his skin, the skin appeared tender and white as porcelain doll devoid of any blemishes.
Rather than saying that he was handsome the word beautiful fit him better but since he openly exposed himself as gay, others always had the prejudice toward him so no matter what he looked like, to them he was disgusting.
Touching his shoulder-length blonde hair, Shi Shen decided that he needed to take care of his appearance first before moving out of Nian family.
Currently, it was 2:25 pm so he still had a lot of times to take care of himself before meeting with Nian couple at dinner time.
He got out of the bathroom then went to open the door and immediately saw a maid who was currently changing the flower in the corridor.
With Lin Yue usual arrogance tone he called out to her,"Hey you!"
The person who got called by him suddenly flinched then slowly turned toward him looking hesitate like she didn't want to come.
Thus, Shi Shen spoke in an irritated tone,"Are you deaf?"
"N-No, young master Lin this servant is coming!" She stammered then quickly put the vase down and hurriedly walked toward Shi Shen.
"Do you need anything?"
With a lift of his eyebrow, he sneered,"If I don't need anything, why would I even bother to call you?"
The maid's face instantly went pale then quickly lowered her head down and did not dare utter another sentence.
Shi Shen also didn't make thing harder for her either so he quickly relayed his order,"Take all of my clothes except my school uniform and pajamas to the orphanage."
"Yes?" The maid was so shocked that she abruptly lifted her head to look at Shi Shen in disbelief.
All of the servants in the house knew that this young master was stingy and wouldn't let anyone touch his things so how could he just let go all of his expensive clothes just like this!
"Seriously...are your ears not working? I have already gotten bored with those clothes so might as well gave them to others since I have no more space for my new one."
With this explanation, the maid finally lets go of her suspicion and couldn't help cussing him inside her head about how much of a spendthrift he was and the money was not even his to begin with.
Ignoring the disdain in her eyes, Shi Shen continued,"Call the chauffeur for me I need to go shopping. I will be downstairs in 15 mn."
He then went silent as he kept staring at the maid before him without saying anything.
The maid who was being stared at was scared shitless due to his stare and she almost jumped in fright when Shi Shen suddenly called her.
"You...all of you, servants if you saw something you like just take some." He said this sentence in one breath then immediately slammed the door shut letting the maid stood there motionless baffled with his action.
Nevertheless, she immediately threw his strange behavior to the back of her back and only thought of his last sentence.
Since he was the one who said so then she and others wouldn't stand on ceremony and not do as he told either.
With a hurried step, she quickly went downstairs to call the chauffeur for Shi Shen.
Meanwhile, Shi Shen went to open the closet to pick out the clothes to wear when in the next second, he just stood there and stared blankly at Lin Yue's clothes.
For him who liked to wear black and white colors, he could only say one word: Rainbow.
He knew that Lin Yue's clothes would be impossible for him to wear that's why he told the maid to bring all of them away so that he could pack his belongings more easily.
Shi Shen indifferently swept a light glance at those clothes then he finally reached out his right hand to pick out a set of clothes to wear.
I will just wear the school uniform.

While sitting in the car, Shi Shen quickly went through Lin Yue's phone as well as Lin Yue's conversation with Ting Shiqing.
He had to say that he was speechless at how devoted Lin Yue was toward Ting Shiqing despite the cold treatment he had received from him.
After that he went to search for things concerning this world for a bit then he moved his gaze to look outside the window.
Seeing numerous tall buildings and strange sceneries that different from what he usually saw Shi Shen needed to admit that he was intrigued about the fact that there were numerous worlds out there aside from his world which he didn't know of.
His eyes didn't move away from the window even the slightest bit as he indifferently said,"Have you seen enough?"
The chauffeur who heard this became startled as he quickly averted his eyes from the rear view mirror to look back at the road.
He couldn't help wondering since this young master seemed to be a bit strange today.
He was currently having a summer vacation so why did he wear his school uniform and to go shopping in that uniform at that?!
However, no matter how curious he was, he still shut his mouth and drove the car to their destination.
Finally arrived at the salon, Shi Shen unhurriedly walked in and he didn't even need to say anything as the staff immediately came to greet and led him to the chair while beaming he said,"Young master Lin, today what style do you want your hair to be?"
In return, Shi Shen simply answered,"Cut this hair to a simple short haircut and dyed it back to black."
Hearing this the hairdresser was stunned since this was not what his usual style to have a plain black color so he was about to ask when he suddenly met with Shi Shen's cold gaze causing him to swallow back his words and did as told.
After a long while, Shi Shen finally felt satisfied with his current looks as his appearance was finally pleasing to the eyes.
He quickly paid with his credit card then went to buy some clothes, shoes and other necessities.
By the time he got back it almost dinner time in which he quickly went to take a shower and went downstairs.
The moment he entered the dining room, three pairs of eyes immediately locked on him causing the atmosphere to become tense.
They were none other than Nian couple and Nian Qichen.
"...Little Yue?" Qin Yifeng exclaimed loudly finally breaking the silent atmosphere in the dining room.
In return, Shi Shen quickly bowed his head,"Yes. I'm sorry for being late."
"Haha, don't worry about it! Quickly, come and sit down."
Shi Shen nodded his head then slowly walked toward the chair beside Qichen and sat down.
They then began to eat without talking about anything causing Shi Shen to slightly furrowed his brows.
According to the plot, Nian Qing and Qin Yifeng should know about what had he done by now so at this moment they would interrogate and scold him not eating peacefully like this.
Still, he decided to remain silent until they have finished eating that he finally opened his mouth.
"Uncle and aunt...I need to apologize to the both of you for what I have done today."
Hearing this Nian Qing and Qin Yifeng were startled since Lin Yue mostly went away right after he finished his dinner so they didn't talk much with each other.
Now that he had taken the initiative to talk to them they were really happy just that why was he apologizing to them?
Seeing their confusing faces, Shi Shen knew right away that they haven't found out about what he had done yet.
Why hasn't Nian Qichen told them anything yet?
Regardless of what the male lead was thinking, Shi Shen decided to tell the couple himself when Qichen's voice suddenly sounded, "You wanted to talk about how you gave away all of your clothes to servants and the orphanage this afternoon right?"
Momentarily stunned, Shi Shen was puzzled as to why did Nian Qichen help him so he quickly looked at him but the man showed nothing on his face as he simply drank the water.
"Oh! Little Yue did a charity huh! It is a good cause so why do you have to apologize to us?" Qin Yifeng confusingly asked in which Qichen once again answered the question.
"Of course he needed to apologize since all of those were bought with your money." He paused then turned to look at the person beside him then he continued,"Right?"
Seeing this, Shi Shen immediately understood what he wanted so he obediently went along with him,"That's right. I didn't buy them with my money so I thought that it was wrong not to tell you beforehand, I'm really sorry."
Nian Qing heard his explanation thus he lightly chuckled,"That was your allowance so you can do whatever you want but uncle wants to know why did you suddenly do that?"
Shi Shen was about to reply when he was once again a tad bit slower than the person beside him.
"He got his heart broken that's why he turned into this."
Shi Shen:"......"
He didn't expect that Nian Qichen would give this kind of reply causing him to be a bit speechless but he was quickly snapped back by an angry roar.
Qin Yifeng abruptly stood up while glaring at her own son,"Which bastard is it?!"
Under his mother threatening gaze, Qichen still calmly answered,"You also know him, That Ting Shiqing, Ting Shin's only son."
Hearing this, the corner of Qin Yifeng's hook up into an eerily smile,"Good, good. Damn that Ting family! After what little Yue has done for them, that scum still did this to him, dine and dash that bastard!"
Shi Shen:"......"Why I suddenly felt like something is wrong?
Nian Qing quickly appeased his wife in a gentle tone,"Dear don't be angry. I will deal with them for not taking the responsibility for little Yun."
Shi Shen:"......"Why do I feel like a daughter who just got her chastity stolen?
****
In the end, Shi Shen finally got away from the Nian couple only after he had reassured them again and again that he was okay did they reluctantly retreat to their room leaving behind Nian Qichen and him inside this spacious dining room.
When he saw that Nian Qichen was about to walk away without saying anything he immediately asked him,"Why did you help me?"
Halted his step, Qichen slowly turned around to look at him, he unhurriedly replied,"I didn't help you. I just don't want my parents to be upset once they found out that's why I'm willing to give you one last chance so do not disappoint me."
He resumed his strides when he suddenly thought of something,"Ah! Don't think that I'm forgiving you for what you have done either since it still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, the fact that you betrayed us for a total stranger."
Once Shi Shen heard this he revealed a conflicted expression as he seemed to not know what to reply and was quite ashamed of his action so besides saying sorry he did not know what to do.
"I'm really sorry, I heard that his family is having a financial problem so I thought that even if I stole the information, the company wouldn't take a huge blow since this project was not a big one."
After his sentence fell, Qichen disdainfully scoffed at him,"Did he tell you that his family is struggling? Didn't you know that they are currently building a 5-star hotel which will be finished by the end of this year? Plus, a small project you said...if it were to be a small one, why did he tell you to steal it for him? I tell you, the loss that we received from leaking this information is not something that you can afford to pay back even if you sell all of your inheritance."
Once he heard this, Shi Shen widen his eyes in shock, he then stammered,"H-how did you-"
Alas, Qichen cut in again,"How did I know that he told you to steal it for him? Just recovering your calling logs was an easy task for me. I could do even more than that so you better behave yourself as well as that Ting Shiqing I won't let him get away this easily so you best stay away from him from now on."
Finished what he wanted to talk Qichen turned his heel and walked upstairs not caring about the youth anymore thus he didn't know that the boy who had a shocked expression a while ago was currently showing an indifferent expression on his face as he stared at his retreating back like he did not suffer any fright at all.
"Well, seem like you have already gotten on his good side."
Hearing this Shi Shen slightly shook his head as he calmly replied,"No. He didn't trust me at all."
After seeing the storyline, Shi Shen knew that if he acted only a bit differently Lin Yue's image could be seen in a new light so it was no wonder that the male lead decided to treat him this way after done investigated him.
Well, the situation is actually better than I thought. It is much easier for the task if I were to be on a good term with the male lead after all.
With this thought, he too went back to his own room. Finally gotten into his room Shi Shen was about to change into his pajamas when his body suddenly went stiff.
He sighed internally as his eyes secretly peeked toward a certain direction.
If he really trusts me, there is no way he installed these many cameras inside my room either.
