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

The little incident in the early morning didn't affect their relationship, but during breakfast, Shen Mochen noticed the other's unusual expression. It was one thing for her face to be red all the time, but those watery eyes kept sneaking peeks at his legs from time to time.

"Sister Cai, the porridge today is delicious..." Shen Mochen coughed, trying to redirect her attention.

"Is it... Oh, that's great, I'm glad you like it!" Cai Yuncui smiled absently, and absentmindedly handed Shen Mochen a bun, "Have a bun, the ones from the shop downstairs are especially big... Ah spit, I mean especially soft!"

Cai Yuncui's face turned red immediately after saying this, but she still tried to act calm, thinking that Shen Mochen couldn't tell.

The corner of Shen Mochen's mouth twitched slightly.

Forget it, I like looking at her chest, let's call it even. Shen Mochen thought to himself as he took the bun from her hand.

However, when Shen Mochen touched Cai Yuncui's hand unintentionally while taking the bun, she withdrew her hand like a bolt of lightning, her demeanor tense.

What's with that attitude, you think you'll get pregnant from a touch?

Shen Mochen mentally complained but had to pretend as if nothing was out of the ordinary.

Little brother seems slim and weak, why would it be so scary... Cai Yuncui nibbled on her steamed bun, head down, unable to shake the image from her mind, her heartbeat racing.

Xia Qingrou had once secretly shown her those kinds of movies, but none of them were as intimidating as Shen Mochen!

Do you really need to be like this, are you some underage, innocent girl? Shen Mochen saw her face red as a persimmon and felt a light twinge of mockery in his heart.

But her expression was quite cute... Hmm, stop wandering thoughts. Today is Sunday, I'll go to the hospital after we finish eating. Shen Mochen thought to himself.

...

After declining Cai Yuncui's offer to accompany him, Shen Mochen arrived in Yin Caiyu's hospital room. He stared at Yin Caiyu's mouth.

He still hadn't given up, and kissed Yin Caiyu again stubbornly, but still nothing happened.

Staying until noon, Shen Mochen said he wouldn't return for lunch, but Cai Yuncui still sent over a meal. After eating, she didn't continue to intrude and left quietly.

Cai Yuncui is truly a silly good person, Shen Mochen thought, standing by the hospital room window, looking down from above as she hurried off on her electric scooter.

Thinking about her body, Shen Mochen felt a heat inside him and subconsciously looked at Yin Caiyu.

Why do I suddenly feel so guilty?

Shen Mochen turned his face away. My relationship with Yin Caiyu is just brother and sister, okay! Even if I get a girlfriend, it's none of her business, okay! I've already forgiven her for raping me, what more does she want!

Right, I have a clear conscience!

Shen Mochen consoled himself in his mind, pinching Yin Caiyu's face: "If you don't wake up, I'm really going to get another girlfriend, just to make you mad."

He stayed in the hospital room a bit longer until suddenly someone pushed the door open, and Catherine walked in holding a bouquet of lilies.

"Why are you here?" Shen Mochen went to greet her.

"The Tianzheng Church has a tradition, the sick must have fresh flowers changed everyday."

Catherine spoke indifferently as she arranged the fresh flowers she had just brought and handed yesterday's bouquet to the nurse, asking her to take care of it.

The faint fragrance spread throughout the hospital room, and Shen Mochen smiled, "You could have had someone else bring them. There was no need for you to come in person."

"There really was no need, the florist offers a delivery service. But since today is the weekend, I had the time," Catherine said softly.

"Is that so? Let's go outside to talk," Shen Mochen suggested, glancing at Yin Caiyu.

"Do you think it would make her jealous to see us together?"

Catherine blinked slightly.

"After all, you are my ex-girlfriend, and you're still so beautiful. Any girl would be jealous, right?"

Catherine expressed basic satisfaction with Shen Mochen's response and turned to leave the hospital room.

She was wearing a black dress today—its hem fluttering to occasionally reveal the back of her knees and the beautiful curve of her calves.

"Do you like it, student Shen?" she asked flirtatiously.

The two stepped out of the hospital building when Catherine suddenly turned around to face Shen Mochen, pulled her skirt up to reveal plump and well-shaped thighs, and gave a slight smile.

Shen Mochen was momentarily taken aback. When Catherine called him "student Shen," it often had something to do with Cai Yuncui.

"It looks good. What isn't good looking on you?"

Shen Mochen cleared his throat, his gaze betraying him as it lingered a little longer on her thighs.

Catherine smiled and let her skirt fall back into place, tilting her chin up slightly, "It seems that in the time I've been helping soothe Gao Le's family for you, your relationship with Teacher Cai has surged forward like a wild boar…"

"Isn't the expression 'surged forward like a wild boar' a little inappropriate…"

"Oh, sorry, my phrasing wasn't quite standard. While I was busy sorting out the mess you caused, you and Teacher Cai have been hot and heavy, all lovey-dovey…"

"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!" Shen Mochen quickly interjected.

"I know you'd like to deny it, but I happened to meet Teacher Cai on my way here, right after she had brought you food, and we chatted for a bit," Catherine said, tilting her head and smiling, "Of course, I'm not saying this for any particular reason, just hoping you won't treat me like a fool and deceive me."

Shen Mochen was at a loss. What am I supposed to say now?

With Catherine's shrewdness, she could probably spin Cai Yuncui around in circles. Who knows what she told her—certainly, she wouldn't reveal anything about Shen Mochen's superpower, or the incident next to the haystack in the countryside, but Catherine might have gleaned something else…

"Let me just say, Teacher Cai and I aren't to the 'lovey-dovey' stage yet… And it's not that kind of relationship at all!"

"You don't need to explain to me, I'm just an insignificant ex-girlfriend," Catherine huffed lightly, then continued, "But I think that a guy who gets hot and heavy with another girl right after a breakup is considered unethical in any country."

"Uh…"@@novelbin@@

"Of course, I can understand, because when student Shen was most heartbroken, Teacher Cai was the one always by your side, ever-willing and self-sacrificing, so it's normal for you to fall for someone else, especially when your ex-girlfriend wasn't there for you at the most critical moment to keep you from getting arrested by the police…"

Shen Mochen scratched his face and quickly hung his head, "All right, I'm wrong! I really do appreciate how you've looked after me. Even though we've broken up, you still care so magnanimously for this ex-boyfriend of yours who's not worth a damn. You truly are the perfect Kajie… Catherine!"

Catherine raised an eyebrow, a smug curve forming on her lips as she leisurely turned her gaze toward the willows nearby, "So, how are you going to thank me? Just with words?"
