You are all bad women! Don't come over!

Shen Mochen was silent, considering how to refute. The afternoon sunlight struck his face, seeping through his bangs, casting fragmented shadows.

Catherine gazed into his eyes, marking the first time she had scrutinized him so closely.

His eyes were beautiful, no wonder they could captivate so many girls. But at the moment, his expression bore trouble and difficulty.

"You really don’t need to think too much about it, I don’t mind the matter, I just hate it when you lie. You know, I can tell when someone is lying, and I really hate being lied to."

"Oh, I see. I wouldn’t really say I was lying… It’s mainly because I don’t know why, but I just felt like I had seen her somewhere…"

Shen Mochen was about to say something more when he saw Catherine wave her hand, "Just lie less in front of me next time, I need to go now. Are you heading to the library?"

"I don’t think I’ll go today, I feel like taking a walk around the school..."

Before Shen Mochen could finish, he saw Catherine nod her head and turn to leave. Her golden hair reflected the sunlight, and from behind, she resembled a vague silhouette that gradually disappeared from Shen Mochen’s view.

Shen Mochen touched his heart, unknowingly feeling a vague sense of guilt.

What am I thinking? Shen Mochen quickly scolded himself.

She kidnapped me! Although she has been nice to me, ignoring my wishes and coercing me into a relationship with her, isn’t that like stealing a man? If the genders were reversed, I would be absolutely livid!

Besides, even if we ignore their complicated relationship, even if they were a normal couple, he hadn’t cheated. Even if he was somewhat attracted to someone else, a true gentleman is judged by his actions, not his heart, and he hadn’t actually done anything, had he!

Shen Mochen consoled himself with these thoughts but ultimately sighed heavily. Forget it, better think of something happier, like the future moments alone with Yin Caiyu… Why are most of the images in my mind inappropriate!

The sunlight entered the empty library as Catherine pulled out a chair, the quiet echo ringing out.

Today was the first day of the school anniversary, but Catherine had still gone to the library to study, warming up for the competition with Shen Mochen in a few days.

Although she did not think she would lose, she felt that if there was to be a competition, she should prepare thoroughly, as a form of respect for Shen Mochen.

What would she do after she won? Catherine pondered.

She suddenly couldn’t think of anything. If she won, Shen Mochen would have no excuse to break up. But even if he lost this time, he would probably find another way.

This twisted relationship really should end. Catherine thought to herself that no matter what, she would agree to Shen Mochen’s wish to break up after this test.

Hmm… A Shen Mochen who couldn’t defeat her didn’t deserve to date her!

That would be her reason to dump him.

Catherine lazily sprawled across the table, suddenly not wanting to study, feeling inexplicably melancholic.

She didn’t understand these feelings, but she was secretly regretting it.

She regretted the words she had said to Shen Mochen earlier; she regretted getting angry with him, and she felt that it was completely unnecessary whether Shen Mochen cut his hair or did it for Liu Chaoyan.

As a result, she was just overthinking like a petty person.

"Master, are you feeling unwell?" Fuzi gently knocked on the table, no one knew from where she had appeared.

"I just feel like sometimes, I am not myself…" Catherine slightly opened one eye and murmured.

"When do you feel like you are not yourself?" Fuzi asked softly.

Catherine buried her face again. "When I was with that coward, he must have been hypnotizing me; I was influenced by him..."

But this is love, master.

Fuzi bit her lip, but didn’t say it out loud.

...

The afternoon program continued, but Catherine did not sit next to Shen Mochen. Instead, she sat with a few friends at the back, indifferent, not even looking at him.

Shen Mochen didn’t care too much. Keeping distance was good for both parties; they were bound to break up anyway, ending this twisted and muddled interaction.

By the end of the day’s activities, everyone left one by one. Liu Bo, beside Shen Mochen, seemed very excited.

"Today was just a cultural performance; tomorrow is the school anniversary!" Liu Bo said enthusiastically. "You know, every year at the school anniversary, they invite students’ parents and social elites. This year, the ’Nuclear Girls’ will be there too, and Fei Yumo will come!"

Shen Mochen teased, "You really like Fei Yumo, huh? I remember she’s quite the popular one among the ’Nuclear Girls’."

"Of course, and Fei Yumo is a girl from Gaotang State, she’s a fellow townsman!"

"You’re too excited; don’t scare her away when the time comes."

As Liu Bo and Shen Mochen approached the school gate, Liu Bo looked around cautiously and then whispered, "I have a favor to ask you..."

Shen Mochen chuckled, "What is it? You’re so secretive."

"If Fei Yumo comes tomorrow, go and strike up a conversation with her, then add her as a friend. Later, you can let me peek at her daily updates, okay?"

Shen Mochen was speechless. "Ah, me hitting on her... don’t you think that would count as being cuckolded?"

Liu Bo bent over and bowed, "Please, I have no choice. Look at me, even if I ask, they wouldn’t give it to me! But you’re different, you’re a real charmer!"

Shen Mochen felt a bit reluctant. "Even if you say so, aren’t you afraid I might end up having a real chat with that Fei Yumo?"

Liu Bo patted Shen Mochen’s shoulder hard, his gaze sincere. "Besides, a brother’s wife is off-limits; I trust your integrity!"

"You trusting me so much really puts a lot of pressure on me..."

Liu Bo’s gaze was intense, his tone serious, "If you dare flirt with little Yumo, I’ll snitch to the Princess."

Shen Mochen’s mouth twitched slightly. So you’ve been waiting for this moment! Are you trusting me or threatening me!

"Even so... celebrities usually don’t add people as friends, and even if she does, it might just be a work account."

"I trust your charm!"

Shen Mochen frowned, resigning with a smile. "Then how about this, I’ll create a secondary account tomorrow and use it to add her. I’ll pass you the account later, and whatever happens next, I won’t get involved. You can check her updates yourself."

"Shen Mochen, you really are my true brother!"

Liu Bo was moved to tears and almost wanted to hug him and plant kisses on his face.

What am I even doing... I hope Catherine doesn’t see this tomorrow. If she catches on, that really would be adding more trouble.

Thinking this, Shen Mochen saw a group of familiar figures in the distance.
