Chapter 460 - 446
Shen Mochen was at a loss for words.
"Getting back to the main point, Shen, is there something you want to tell me?"
Liu Chaoyan tilted her head and smiled.
"You..." Shen Mochen hesitated for a moment. He had been thinking about how to start the conversation, but Liu Chaoyan had preemptively taken charge, catching him off guard.
Looking at her radiant smiling face, Shen Mochen felt that she already guessed what he wanted to ask... Was it real? It felt like everything was under her control, even more composed than Catherine.
"What are your measurements?" Shen Mochen slowly asked.
A flash of astonishment appeared on Liu Chaoyan's face, but it was fleeting. With a slight smile and a playful look, she said, "If you want to see me surprised, you should just confess your feelings to me. That would definitely astonish me."
"Would you accept my confession?"
"No, but I wouldn't tell Han Muxue either."
Once again, she acted as if she knew everything, including his arguments and reconciliations with Han Muxue and their current status... It seemed like she knew everything.
"Enough of this nonsense!" Shen Mochen coughed, "I don't really have anything to ask!"
"Then massage my legs." Liu Chaoyan was not surprised, lying on the couch, her legs like jade lotus roots propped on Shen Mochen's lap. She picked up a book and with a playful smile said, "As a reward, you can touch my legs and feet all you want."
Shen Mochen silently massaged Liu Chaoyan's legs, unafraid of someone suddenly coming out. With Liu Chaoyan's keen hearing, she would definitely know in advance. After all, such things could damage her image, and she surely wouldn't want others to know.
Actually, Shen Mochen really wanted to ask many things. Even though Liu Chaoyan appeared cunning and was a bit of a tease in front of him, was this the real Liu Chaoyan?
If the perfect lady image was just a facade, then was her current demeanor the genuine one?
Shen Mochen recalled everything about Liu Chaoyan. She hadn't done anything to harm others. In fact, she had subtly offered her help several times during their conversations.
Thinking it over, Liu Chaoyan was like Cai Yuncui, except Cai Yuncui was good at surface-level actions, so everyone could clearly see her kindness. Liu Chaoyan's kindness was more subtle and silent; you wouldn't notice unless you paid attention.
Before the vacation, it was also Liu Chaoyan who suggested that Shen Mochen should visit Han Muxue's parents. Naturally, she wouldn't suggest that without reason. It seemed that Liu Chaoyan knew everything about Han Muxue's family. To understand her, visiting her home was the way.
Although Liu Chaoyan had never been to Han Muxue's house.
The reason Shen Mochen finally made up his mind was that he truly understood everything about Han Muxue. His affection for Han Muxue wasn't a momentary impulse or out of pity, but a sentiment confirmed after careful consideration.
"You... know about Xiaoxue..." Shen Mochen quietly began.
"I know."
"I haven't even asked yet. Can you read minds!"
"So, compared to Miss Alexandrova's Mind Reading Technique, who is better?"
Liu Chaoyan playfully manipulated Shen Mochen's chin with her foot.
"Don't you care?" Shen Mochen pressed her foot down.
"It doesn't matter. I don't have any secrets to expose, and it might even increase her income. Why wouldn't I be happy to help others?"
"Actually..."
"I know. You don't need to explain for her; I truly don't mind."
After a long silence, Shen Mochen, still pressing on Liu Chaoyan's foot, applied a bit more pressure: "Thank you. You are a good person."
Liu Chaoyan teased, "Yo, how did I go from being an angel to just a good person?"
"I don't even know which one is really you."
"Which one do you like?"
"I don't know... perhaps, in front of others, that Angel might seem better... But now, it feels quite nice, and you might be more relaxed."
Liu Chaoyan smiled as she turned the pages of her book.
"Alright, I'm done massaging. You should go back and rest," Shen Mochen said, "I'll watch the first half of the night, and you watch the second half. I'll call you when it's time."
"It looks like I'll get a good night's sleep tonight." Liu Chaoyan didn't babble. She rose and stretched lazily, her laughter full of charm.
She knew that Shen Mochen wouldn't call her up in the second half of the night, and Shen Mochen knew that she knew.
"Do you really think I am a good woman?"
Holding the book, in a long white dress and flowing hair, Liu Chaoyan stood leisurely under the golden light, resembling a pure white lotus in Buddha's pond, her eyes and brows exuding innocence and allure.
"Yes." Shen Mochen nodded.
Suddenly, the corners of Liu Chaoyan's mouth bloomed, and she leaned down to gently kiss Shen Mochen on the lips.
"Then you are mistaken. I am really a bad woman."
Liu Chaoyan whispered softly into the dazed Shen Mochen's ear.
After a while, Shen Mochen finally regained his senses, by which time Liu Chaoyan had already left.
He touched his lips. Had Liu Chaoyan just kissed him?
What was this situation? Who could truly guess Liu Chaoyan's thoughts! fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Even though he felt like he had gained something, Shen Mochen's mind was filled with more questions. The Kaiyang Star wasn't bright, which meant Liu Chaoyan didn't like him, at least not the way Xia Qingrou, Cai Yuncui, or Han Muxue did.
So, what was this situation?
Shen Mochen licked his lips, thinking, "This isn't cheating, is it? I was forcibly kissed by a bad woman!"
Don't think about it anymore! Shen Mochen shook his head vigorously, finding Liu Chaoyan's thoughts the hardest to predict among 0819.
Shen Mochen stood up and unplugged the alarm.
The alarm was the most crucial device in the dormitory. In the event of a beast calamity, satellites in the sky and external radars would rapidly locate and send a signal, which was then broadcasted via the alarm's receiver.
Because it was so important, the alarm always had a backup power source to prevent a sudden power outage from causing a serious accident. The only way to turn off the alarm was to unplug it.
However, not only the alarm could emit warnings, the walkie-talkie also produced a beep, though the sound was not loud.
With nothing much to do, Shen Mochen held the walkie-talkie and chatted with Catherine, while Roman and Yupi were in a different time zone. It was the middle of the night there and daytime for them.
But Catherine seemed also busy, chatting with Shen Mochen in her spare moments, irregularly.
After who knows how long, the walkie-talkie suddenly emitted a sharp buzzing sound.
Shen Mochen picked up his handgun and quickly went to the garage to push out his motorcycle, heading to the target location indicated on the map.
Yin Caiyu had used her superpower, but it hadn't been replenished yet, which made him feel insecure. However, he still had three Transcendent-level powers: Fuzi's, Ran Linlin's, and Catherine's enhanced copied superpower.
If none of these worked, then it would all be up to fate.
A few minutes of speeding later, Shen Mochen arrived at the site and observed the crack. He breathed a sigh of relief. The crack was not large tonight, which meant there likely wouldn't be formidable enemies.
The crack wasn't fully open yet, so the monsters hadn't appeared, but he could faintly hear the monsters' roars. Remembering what Fuzi had once done, he aimed at the crack and fired a shot.
A massive shockwave swept out from the crack, causing flames to burst into the sky, and Shen Mochen's clothes fluttered in the wind.
Seconds later, the fire dissipated. Shen Mochen watched as the crack gradually closed and cracked a slight smile.
Only when the crack had completely vanished did Shen Mochen finally ride his motorcycle back.
