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

With the final layer of their relationship formed, Shen Mochen and Xia Qingrou's bond heated up once again. Xia Qingrou was inseparable from Shen Mochen all day, unabashedly displaying affection even in front of Liu Chaoyan and Han Muxue.

Although Shen Mochen was rarely the initiator, he became more cooperative with Xia Qingrou's affections.

However, neither brought up the details of that night. When Xia Qingrou mentioned it, it was only to praise Shen Mochen's valor in front of Liu Chaoyan and Han Muxue, without delving into specifics. Shen Mochen certainly wouldn't bring it up himself, nor did he ask if it was Xia Qingrou's first time.

In his view, it was better not to ask.

As for Liu Chaoyan and Han Muxue, they both reacted differently. Liu Chaoyan could still act as if nothing had happened, whereas Han Muxue would frequently glare at him, as if she were looking at some unparalleled monster of seduction.

But overall, life was still relatively calm and peaceful—yet this state lasted less than two days before Xiao Xingshuang returned from her leave. Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire

She arrived at night, stepping home in the moonlight.

"It's the 'separation month' now; let Muxue take her leave tomorrow first."

Liu Chaoyan had just finished bathing. After greeting Xiao Xingshuang, she spoke to Han Muxue.

Han Muxue nodded coolly, not saying much, "The day after tomorrow is the weekend, I'll go play with Cai Yuncui."

After saying this, she glanced at Shen Mochen with an intention that made him somewhat uneasy. She wouldn't go to complain to Cai Yuncui, would she? That damned Loli, I advise you to be kind!

Shen Mochen had joined the 0819 large group chat, which included almost all the members from every generation. Besides that, Shen Mochen was also in a smaller group with only the current five members and Cai Yuncui.

Currently, no one had talked openly about Shen Mochen and Xia Qingrou's affair, and although he had done no wrong, he still preferred that Cai Yuncui not know about it, even though she was bound to find out sooner or later.

"Xingshuang, you're back so late, have you eaten?" Liu Chaoyan asked with a smile.

"I have, I'm going to take a shower now," Xiao Xingshuang said, heading to her room to grab her clothes for the shower.

Han Muxue wheeled herself back to her room, "I'm just taking four days off this time. There's nothing much to do outside, and Cai Yuncui still has to work."

The Buque people usually divided the month into three phases: the great separation month, the minor separation month, and the Moon Conjunction.

This classification was based on the distance between the two moons in the sky; the fifteen days at the beginning of the month, and the end of the next month, were when the two moons were farthest apart, known as the great separation month. The ten days before and after mid-month, when the two moons gradually drew closer, were called the minor separation month. The five days in the middle of the month, when the moons would slowly converge, were called the Moon Conjunction.

Generally, the closer the moons, the more frequent the appearance of monsters. The farther apart, the lower the frequency of the monsters' appearances.

Four days later would be the great separation month, making it the rule for two members of the Buque Team to take leave simultaneously.

Shen Mochen glanced at Han Muxue, who only left him with her back as she calmly returned to her room.

"Xuexue is really sensible, where should we go for a date in a few days? I haven't really had fun in Yu Huai City yet!" Xia Qingrou said, wrapping her arms around Shen Mochen's neck and giggling.

Liu Chaoyan smiled slightly, "Sister Xia, would you like a travel guide for Yu Huai? I could make one for you."

Xia Qingrou nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, Yanyan, you're so nice! Hehe, I heard that Tianhong Amusement Park has built the country's largest Ferris wheel, I really want to ride it!"

Speaking of the Ferris wheel, Shen Mochen felt a flicker of unease in his heart. Suddenly, Xiao Xingshuang came out, her face frosty.

Liu Chaoyan put down her teacup, looking at Xiao Xingshuang who held nothing in her hands, "Xingshuang, what's wrong, weren't you going to take a bath?"

"Who went into my room?" Xiao Xingshuang asked coldly.

"I... I did," Xia Qingrou stuttered, raising her hand.

Xiao Xingshuang's expression grew even colder, "Did you also take my clothes?"

Xia Qingrou was stunned, a blank look on her face, "What clothes? I just went to get my dictionary. The one I lent to you because I needed it, so I went to get it back. I didn't touch your other stuff; your dictionary was on the table, and I saw it as soon as I entered."

Xiao Xingshuang furrowed her brows fiercely, her gaze slowly shifting to Shen Mochen, but she remained silent.

"I never entered your room," Shen Mochen said, shaking his head immediately as he saw the suspicion in the other's eyes.

"Did you lose some clothes?" Liu Chaoyan asked softly.

"Han Muxue, come out!" Xiao Xingshuang called out.

"What now?" Han Muxue, sitting in a wheelchair, slowly rolled out, looking annoyed.

"Did you enter my room?" Xiao Xingshuang interrogated.

"Why would I enter your room? Is your crappy place some kind of paradise where one visit would make me live ten years longer?" Han Muxue frowned, her tone becoming unfriendly.

"My clothes are missing," Xiao Xingshuang stated.

"That's none of my damn business!" Han Muxue retorted.

"It was underwear that went missing," Xiao Xingshuang said.

"What?"

Xia Qingrou's eyes widened in shock, and the others were also taken aback.

There was a sudden silence in the living room, and both Xia Qingrou and Han Muxue looked involuntarily towards Shen Mochen.

Shen Mochen frowned; he finally understood why Xiao Xingshuang had been staring at him earlier.

"Xingshuang, are you sure they're missing and not that you placed them somewhere and forgot?" Liu Chaoyan asked sternly; this matter was no joking affair.

"My drawer was gone through; I can still clearly remember some items of clothing," Xiao Xingshuang replied coldly.

"I haven't been in your room; I've been training these days, and the team captain should know that," Shen Mochen stated.

At this point, he was the prime suspect; in fact, there was almost no one else it could be.

If Xiao Xingshuang were less attractive, Shen Mochen could have more confidently denied it, but her beauty was unmatched in the Buque Team, and even among the stunningly gorgeous members of 0819, she was known as the most beautiful one.

Moreover, her features and figure were considered perfect, something Shen Mochen had witnessed, comparable to Catherine's, and the other team members also knew he had seen it.

This gave Shen Mochen a possible line of action, adding many plausible motives.

"But entering someone's room wouldn't take much time..." Han Muxue said and suddenly remembered something, then fiercely said, "You've been locking your door a lot these days, haven't you? What are you locking your door for?"

"I don't lock my door often..."

"Exactly, that was just... I was joking!" Xia Qingrou also quickly defended Shen Mochen, hugging his neck tightly like a mother hen protecting her chick, "My husband is not that kind of person! Plus, he has me. Whatever he wants from me, I can give, why would he need to take someone else's!"

"That you never know. Things you haven't tasted even shit smells tempting!" Han Muxue barked out angrily, "Didn't he also say he couldn't forget his ex-girlfriend before? And now, how many days has it been!"
