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

"I'm fine," Xiao Xingshuang shook her head, "Do you know the Superpower User who saved us?"

Shen Mochen was startled, then he remembered that official people had probably asked her about it and that she should have mentioned some things he had explained.

"I do, he's kind of like... a retainer for my ex-girlfriend," Shen Mochen considered his words carefully before defining Fuzi's existence this way.

In fact, he had wanted to say "servant," and perhaps Fuzi would agree with this term as well. But having witnessed Fuzi's strength, he felt the word "servant" was somewhat disrespectful. People naturally respect the powerful.

"That noble Roman?" Xiao Xingshuang asked again.

"Yeah, didn't the captain also mention it, he's got power and influence..."

Xiao Xingshuang nodded, turned her face away, and stopped paying attention to him.

Shen Mochen tried to make awkward small talk with her for a bit, sniffed the sweet osmanthus-like fragrance on her body, then got up and left.

In the second partition was Han Muxue, who was arguably the most injured among them, with a slight concussion and a white bandage wrapped around her head.

Shen Mochen sat down by her bed: "How are you feeling?"

"Mhm."

Han Muxue glanced at him and then closed her eyes again to rest.

Shen Mochen neither continued to bother her nor left, he just quietly sat with her for a while.

He remembered that it was Han Muxue who had first told him to run fast, and in the end, it was also Han Muxue who, with her frail and disabled body, stood in front of him.

Shen Mochen remembered her scent, fragrant with gardenias, faint but distinct.

Actually, Shen Mochen really wanted to ask her why, not that he couldn't guess the reason—there were only a few possibilities. He just wanted to know which one it was.

But if he asked, he would only get the same response. So, there was no point in asking.

Regardless, Han Muxue was quite nice, even though she was fierce with her words.

But now with her slight concussion, feeling dizzy and blurred, she wasn't able to be fierce. With her eyes closed, she looked like a perfect, adorable porcelain doll.

"I didn't know you had a concussion before, do you want me to treat it for you? It should cure it," said Shen Mochen.

"Mhm," Han Muxue hummed again.

Shen Mochen then reached out and lightly touched Han Muxue's head. After about ten seconds, Han Muxue softly said, "It's okay now."

Shen Mochen withdrew his hand.

"You're such a blockhead, as stupid as a pig... oh sorry, I have to apologize to pigs, that's slander because pigs aren't as stupid as you!" Han Muxue, now revitalized, immediately switched into trash-talk mode, firing at Shen Mochen like a machine gun, "I told you not to come, why did you come looking for death? Do you think you're a hero, really thinking you could turn the tide?"

"Judging by the results, I did help you guys hold out until backup arrived!" Shen Mochen said with a smile.

Han Muxue retorted angrily, "Bullshit, that's just result-oriented thinking. What if they were one second late? Did you want to die along with us?"

"Dying alongside five girls as beautiful as flowers wouldn't be too bad."

"Don't joke around; did I look like I was joking with you?"

Shen Mochen apologized insincerely: "Alright, alright, I was wrong. I'll definitely listen to you next time."

"Hmph!" Han Muxue snorted coldly, suddenly remembered something, and again ground her teeth viciously, "Don't think that you can be forgiven for your previous mistakes. You'd better get Xia Qingrou to forgive you; otherwise, you're still going to get lost!"

"Got it, let's not talk about that for now. Do you want to watch some TV?" Shen Mochen picked up the remote control.

"Turn it on," Han Muxue said.

None of them had brought their phones, and not watching TV would be too boring.

The TV turned on, and what came into view was a reality show featuring a girl with nuclear power.

"Change the channel, change the channel!" Han Muxue immediately screamed in disgust, "Gross!"

Shen Mochen quickly switched channels while Han Muxue continued to curse, "I hate them the most, all pretense and no substance. Doesn't it seem very bitchy to you? Hey, do you like them? You guys must all be into this green tea type, right?"

Shen Mochen thought back to Fei Yumo and Qin Lan he met at the school anniversary celebration. He at least had a decent impression of the two, but he knew Han Muxue hated the nuclear power girl, especially Fei Yumo, so he wouldn't lower his EQ by touching her sore spot at this time.

"No, I think these people are very pretentious," Shen Mochen said, remembering he had added Fei Yumo as a friend on a secondary account and wondered how Liu Bo was chatting with her.

"Right! You do have good taste!" Han Muxue showed a rare smile on her face, expressing approval of Shen Mochen for once.

While watching TV with Han Muxue, she suddenly remembered something, turned her head to him and asked, "Have you gone to see Xia Qingrou yet?"

"Not yet... What's up?"

"What are you doing here then? Go now!" Han Muxue hit Shen Mochen with a punch in anger, "If she doesn't forgive you, you can't stay in 0819 either!"

Shen Mochen laughed as he took the punch; Han Muxue's little fist didn't hurt at all.

Leaving Han Muxue's room, Shen Mochen came to the third ward where Xia Qingrou was.

She wasn't in any serious condition, lying in the hospital bed focused on watching a soap opera. She seemed to be the type to easily sympathize, watching whilst constantly pulling tissues to blow her nose and wipe her tears.

"Hey, are you okay?" Shen Mochen entered the room and casually closed the door behind him.

Xia Qingrou, startled by his sudden appearance and realizing it was Shen Mochen, was at first stunned, then instinctively wanted to cover her face.

But after hesitating briefly, she didn't do anything, instead just calmly looking at Shen Mochen and mustering a smile, "I'm okay, what about you?"

"I'm also okay." Shen Mochen plopped down on a chair by the bed, then stared in awe.

Xia Qingrou's glasses had been knocked off before, but since it was night time, even after Shen Mochen helped look for a while, they were not found, so now she was without glasses.

Xia Qingrou seemed to have a special preference for her eyes, even wearing glasses during the night they were intimate, although they might have come off during the latter half, but at that point, Shen Mochen could only see her back and the back of her head.

Therefore, this was the first time Shen Mochen took a good look at Xia Qingrou's face, and he instantly felt as if he was in a dream.

To describe it with an idiom, she was stunningly beautiful.

What was going on? Xia Qingrou was this pretty? Even though he always felt her glasses were both tacky and ugly, removing them seemed to add so many points!

Shen Mochen had originally thought that Catherine and Xiao Xingshuang had the most perfect facial features he'd ever seen - masterpieces carefully crafted by the Creator, scoring 100.

But if those two were 100, then Xia Qingrou was at least 105. She was an existence that surpassed perfection, taking even the bonus points! Just by her face alone, Xia Qingrou was even more refined and exquisite than the other two, impossible to fully describe with words!

It was as if the divinity revelled in solitude without any bindings, and the soul wandered aimlessly. With a slight squint of the eyes, brilliance interchanged, and her posture extraordinarily stood out, too remarkable to recount!

Shen Mochen felt his heart fluttering, recalling the sounds from the past.

Damn it... Xia Qingrou often self-proclaimed to be 0819's standard of beauty, and Shen Mochen thought she was just jesting and even snickered at her bold claims without blushing, but it turned out to be true. No wonder even Han Muxue had retorted against her!

Silence settled in the empty room, with a breeze that seemed to bring a hint of a comeback.

For a moment, Shen Mochen was stunned, and it was Xia Qingrou who looked down slightly with unease, touching her hair and coughing lightly, "Is there something you needed?"

Shen Mochen then came back to his senses, no, no, I almost got distracted by beauty, I am here to confront you!

"Tell me, where did I offend you, that you had to frame me like this?"

Shen Mochen put on a fierce expression.
