"Okay, Xiaozhou and Tiantian, you two go back to your rooms and rest for a bit. I'll come see you with Lao San later, okay?"
Jin Che tried his best to remain calm, but his eyes still revealed murderous intent.
"Brother Jin, Brother Zihang, thank you!" He Tiantian thanked the two men with tears in her eyes.
"Don't thank us, go back now and I'll have someone send you some clothes."
After Jin Che finished speaking, he instructed the maid behind him to find some clothes and pants and send them to the seventh floor.
Shen Yizhou led He Tiantian to the road, and neither of them spoke.
Back in her room, He Tiantian went straight to the bathroom, where she lay in the bathtub and vigorously rubbed her legs.
The more she thought about it, the more disgusted she felt, as if her whole body was filthy, and she cried silently.
Shen Yizhou stood by the window, smoking a cigarette; his hand holding the cigarette was trembling.
Knock, knock, knock, knock, a knocking sound came from outside the door, followed by a maid's voice, "Mr. Shen, Miss He, I'm here to deliver some clothes."
Shen Yizhou opened the door, and the maid handed him the clothes and left.
He closed the bedroom door, picked up a set of clothes, and knocked on the bathroom door, startling He Tiantian.
"I've hung your clothes on the doorknob. You can get them yourself later."
He Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Shen Yizhou's voice. "Okay, I'll go get it after I'm done washing."
Shen Yizhou could hear the nasal tone in her voice; He Tiantian had secretly cried in the bathroom.
He didn't know how to comfort her for a moment; he had almost failed to protect her this time.
He Tiantian patted her face to clear her mind. She quickly rinsed off the bubbles and drained the water from the bathtub.
She opened the door, reached for the clothes on the doorknob, and put them on before realizing they were new. Had Brother Jin sent someone to buy them?
He Tiantian walked out of the bathroom, took out a hair dryer from the cabinet to dry her hair, and Shen Yizhou took the hair dryer from her hand.
He turned on the heater and dried her hair, a process that He Tiantian thoroughly enjoyed, finding it even more comfortable than blow-drying her own hair.
Jin Zihang summoned several of his men, had them blindfold the seven men, and drove them to a remote, desolate area.
"Let's take them out for dinner tonight as a way of expressing our apologies."
"Okay, big brother, you can make the decision. I support you."
Before long, the two reached the seventh floor. Jin Che knocked on the door, "Xiao Zhou Tian Tian, shall we go out for a meal together?"
He Tiantian opened the door. Her mood had improved considerably, and she accepted Jin Che and Jin Zihang's invitation to dinner.
The four of them arrived at the restaurant they had visited before. The owner looked at Jin Che and Jin Zihang in surprise, as they had never eaten together before.
"Young Master, Third Young Master, the private room is still available. Please go up directly."
Jin Che ordered a few signature dishes and a few bottles of wine, then led them upstairs.
"My third brother and I will offer our respects to you first. We apologize for startling you; it's my fault for mismanaging you!"
Jin Che and Jin Zihang downed a glass of wine in one gulp, which surprised He Tiantian.
"Brother Jin, we're all fine now, let's not bring this up again."
After He Tiantian finished speaking, she changed the subject, and the four of them chatted about other topics, quickly finishing their meal.
Jin Che then took He Tiantian and Shen Yizhou for a walk around the area before sending them back to the castle.
"Tian Tian, if you like that place today, I'll take you there again tomorrow."
"Great! Thank you, Brother Jin and Brother Zihang. I'm very happy tonight."
He Tiantian smiled and said goodbye to the two of them. Shen Yizhou gently took He Tiantian's hand and led her back to the room.
He Tiantian sat on the bed looking at her phone and realized it was already 9:44. She thought it was only around 8 o'clock.
"Zhouzhou, when will the game end?"
Shen Yizhou was silent for a moment, then said, "It will be soon. I estimate the rankings will be released tomorrow."
He Tiantian nodded without saying anything more. She changed into her pajamas and lay down on the bed. She watched short videos and fell asleep soon after.
Shen Yizhou turned off her phone, took a shower, and then lay down next to her and fell asleep. This was the earliest they had ever gone to sleep.
Before dawn, a "ding" sounded.
Players Shen Yizhou and He Tiantian, please proceed to the Castle Garden as soon as possible; the black hole has been opened.
He Tiantian sat up excitedly, ran off the bed, wrote a few words, and left them on the table.
The two quickly went downstairs, where many players were already heading into the black hole. He Tiantian turned around and glanced at the castle before stepping inside.
Shen Yizhou held He Tiantian's hand and said, "See you in the next game."
Then Shen Yizhou's hand disappeared, and He Tiantian shrugged and said "okay" to the air.
When she returned to the small rest area, she collapsed onto the bed, completely exhausted.
In the morning, when the maid went to clean as usual, she found a note left by He Tiantian in the room on the seventh floor.
She glanced at the words on it, dropped the broom, and ran to Jin Che's door, banging on it loudly.
Jin Zihang frowned as he opened the door. "What are you doing, making such a racket so early in the morning?"
"Third Young Master! I found a note in the last room on the seventh floor, but no one is there anymore."
Jin Zihang took the note, on which was written...
Brother Jin, Brother Zihang, thank you for taking care of us. We'll be going now.
He looked at the note with a puzzled expression. "Who wrote this?"
"I didn't know! That's why I took it off."
Jin Zihang closed the door. He felt as if he had lost his memory and couldn't remember who left the note. He put the note on the table and went back to sleep.
