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

"Honey~" With a voice as sweet as it was cloying ringing in his ears, Xia Qingrou cooed into the phone, "Then just turn on the video, darling. Let this little vixen see who your real girlfriend is!"

"What..."

I'm hanging up!

Just as Catherine began to speak, Shen Mochen immediately pressed the hang-up button.

Liu Chaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, Han Muxue glanced at Shen Mochen with a smirk, and Xiao Xingshuang, expressionless, took a sip of water, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes—she seemed quite interested in the melodrama of male-female gossip.

"What are you doing!" Xia Qingrou, fuming, shook her tiny fists at Shen Mochen. "You just said there's someone else in your heart, it's her, isn't it!"

Shen Mochen pocketed his phone, neither confirming nor denying.

Xia Qingrou continued to complain, "You should have turned on the video, let her see how I, the beauty of Team 0819, completely outclass her, see if she still dares to covet my husband!"

Stop it with the husband talk; why do you say it so easily? Isn't there any psychological barrier at all?

And even if Catherine's appearance isn't as good as yours, what are you crushing? Besides, you're not the beauty of anything, every girl in our Team 0819 is drop-dead gorgeous. Even Xiao Xingshuang and Liu Chaoyan would probably not dare to claim they're the ones in charge of beauty!

It was Liu Chaoyan who diffused the situation. She gently pulled Xia Qingrou aside, "Sister Xia, stop it. Miss Catherine is very beautiful, and her family background is extremely powerful too. Shen Mochen didn't want you to offend her too much, which is why he hung up the phone."

"What's so great about a foreigner? Is she as amazing as you, Yanyan?" pouted Xia Qingrou.

"She's way more amazing than me," Chenchaoyan said with a smile, "She's an Earl's daughter from the Roman Empire, the sole heir to one of the ten great Marquis families, the Alexandrov Family."

The mention of Romany caused a slight stir in Xiao Xingshuang's expression.

Xia Qingrou's eyes widened in surprise. Coming from a knowledgeable high society family in the Capital, she was very clear what it meant to be one of the ten great Marquis families—just below the Royal Family, they were the most powerful group in the Roman Empire.

Nowadays, Romany and Huaqi were virtually unchallenged globally; these were people at the very top of the pyramid.

"Why would someone so distinguished be here?" Xia Qingrou asked.

"Her father is the brother of the Alexandrov Family Head and has been reassigned to Yupi as a diplomat in the past few years. Miss Catherine studies at First Middle School and is a classmate of Shen Mochen," explained Liu Chaoyan patiently.

Everyone's gaze shifted, and when they looked at Shen Mochen, it was with deep sympathy and sighs. Even Han Muxue's expression softened significantly.

A super-rich heiress and a poor boy with nothing... the two in love with each other, yet separated by the vast chasm of their status... Such a melodramatic, tragic storyline!

"You... might be misunderstanding something?" Shen Mochen said.

He felt irritated by the misunderstanding.

"Just go and get some rest; we'll take care of the living room," Xiao Xingshuang said.

"No, you really are misunderstanding, my breakup with her isn't what you think..."

"It's okay, I understand how you feel..." Xia Qingrou patted Shen Mochen's shoulder softly, "Don't be angry, go take a shower, and then get a good night's sleep."

"Don't look at me with those pitiful eyes. I have no feelings for her..."

"We get it, we get it, nobody said anything," Han Muxue's gaze was indescribable as she sighed softly, "Don't think too much, and don't be too heartbroken."

"You're really misunderstanding, believe me!!"

Shen Mochen desperately tried to explain, but no one believed him.

...

After his shower, as he came out of the bathroom, the girls had nearly finished tidying up the living room. Although Han Muxue's condition didn't allow her to clean, she could lessen the gravity in the living room, which made it much easier for the others to clean up.

"Hubby is so handsome!" Seeing Shen Mochen dressed in the combat suit provided by Buque, looking striking and commanding, Xia Qingrou squealed and pounced on Shen Mochen, "Hubby, don't worry, I'll heal the wounds left by your last relationship!"

What wounds, I don't have wounds! Shen Mochen felt indignant inside.

There were two bathrooms in the dormitory, and after Shen Mochen had finished, only Liu Chaoyan, Xia Qingrou, and Han Muxue hadn't bathed.

Xiao Xingshuang was nowhere to be seen in the living room either, she must have gone straight to her room after cleaning up.

Liu Chaoyan lightly covered her mouth and yawned, then stood up, smiling at Xia Qingrou, "You go bathe too, I'll help Shen with his room."

"Alrighty, I will in a bit!" Xia Qingrou laughed, raising her hand.

"Let's go, Shen Mochen." Liu Chaoyan smiled and gestured for Shen Mochen to follow.

As the two left, Xia Qingrou heard the faint sound of a door closing and looked up at Han Muxue with a smile, "Let's go bathe!"

"Mhm."

Han Muxue nodded slightly and wheeled her chair to the bathroom door, then began to undress.

"Now that there's a guy here, should we start undressing in the bathroom from now on?" Xia Qingrou walked over to Han Muxue to help.

"I can do it myself... I don't have much to look at anyway." Han Muxue gently pushed her away.

She had always undressed in the living room before, given her physical condition, it was really inconvenient to undress in the bathroom. Besides, her electric wheelchair wasn't easy to navigate into the bathroom.

"How can you say that! With your loli figure, you don't know how many perverts like that sort of thing!" Xia Qingrou said with a mischievous smile as she fondled Han Muxue's chest, "Wow, Xuexue, did you get a bit bigger?"

"Do you want to know what it looks like for someone to be squashed until their blood pours out of their seven orifices?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Don't be so fierce!"

Xia Qingrou immediately retracted her hand and started to undress too.

"Why are you undressing here too?" Han Muxue frowned slightly.

"Haven't I always done this? If we get seen, we'll be seen together." Xia Qingrou grinned as she undid her bra, puffing out her chest, "Share the blessings and shoulder the difficulties together, that's what you call loyalty!"

"Idiot..." Han Muxue muttered under her breath, then teased, "Anyway, it's your hubby who would see you, so you're not losing out."

"Exactly, there's only my hubby as a man here." Xia Qingrou laughed heartily.

Han Muxue gave her a look, "Show a little shame, will you? You're calling him hubby so quickly!"

Xia Qingrou cocked her head and blinked, "What's 'shame'?"

Han Muxue sighed deeply, "Guys like him with pretty boy looks definitely have lots of girls liking them outside, maybe he doesn't like girls who are too forward."

"You've got to have confidence in me, after all, I am the face card of our 0819, and getting a hold of a virgin boy is a piece of cake! In less than a week, I'll have him loving me so hard he won't know what hit him!" Xia Qingrou casually took off her glasses, "Next time I go on break, how about I change my hair color? Ah, it's been so long since I was in school, I wonder what hair color is in trend with middle schoolers now!"

"I only went to elementary school, I'm illiterate, I don't understand your intellectual stuff, but high schoolers don't usually dye their hair, right?" Han Muxue shifted her bottom, pulling down the pajama pants, "I think instead of changing your hair color, you should switch out those glasses of yours."

Xia Qingrou looked down at her small and outdated red round-frame glasses and shook her head, "My superpower isn't like yours, I need precision, and these glasses really suit me."

"...Whatever you say." Han Muxue didn't feel like saying anything more.

Before long, the two stunning girls finally took off their last piece of modesty, and the soft glow of the light shone on their smooth shoulders, as if rippling with radiance.

"Time to bathe!"

Xia Qingrou laughed and picked Han Muxue up from the wheelchair, carrying her into the bathroom, and with a click of her foot, shut the door behind them, hiding all the splendid views.

"Bath time, let's go take a bath..." The bathroom echoed with Xia Qingrou's spontaneous ditty, "Wash clean, wash clean, wash until we're squeaky clean~"
