187 Who is the mastermind? [one]

An Xiulan's family went back after the event and she was again alone in her room. Twinkle was doing her ten-step skincare routine while she was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling and sighing. 

She was doing some reflection.

Actually, she was doing a lot of reflection. 

Whenever she was alone and everything around would be silent, her deep thinking takes her far away. This was the reason why she always kept on talking. She was afraid of silence. 

Currently, she was thinking about how tough and hard the contest was. 

Although she was in the top five, she still felt surreal. It was almost unreal for her. What if it was a beautiful dream and one morning she would wake up and reach her broken and deserted courtyard in the Duke's house? 

This question came to her mind every day and each time she tackled this question with utmost positivity.
