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

"""With these developments, some things seemed primed to emerge.

However, these were in fact just two unrelated strands, completely devoid of connection and evidence, just a few traces too tenuous to be linked even by the Yupi officials.

Yet Liu Chaoyan was able to venture a bold guess and pry it out, an act that truly made one's back break out in cold sweat.

Shen Mochen's sole relief at the moment was that these were just conjectures; there was no evidence yet, nor could she accurately figure out what his superpower was... And she didn't seem to be an enemy.

Shen Mochen really didn't think such an approachable girl could be an enemy, plus she hadn't used this as leverage to blackmail him.

Hmm, he had really taken a big hit this time, he definitely had to be more vigilant in the future. Even if she wasn't the enemy now, who knew about later... Damn it, this face is truly too disarming!

Shen Mochen reflected inwardly for a while, then picked up his bag and returned to his long-missed bedroom.

"Psycho Miss."

Shen Mochen sat on the bed and called out softly.

"I'm here." Fuzi's figure slowly appeared.

Shen Mochen asked softly, "If I asked you to kill someone, could you do it?"

Fuzi didn't hesitate: "If you command me to kill, I will do it for you. Do you want me to kill Liu Chaoyan? It seems she already knows some of your secrets."

"Ah, no no no, I'm just asking, just asking." Shen Mochen was startled by her decisiveness, waved his hands hurriedly, and then bitterly smiled, "If I really did kill her, Sister Cai and Xia would never forgive me."

"Is it because of Cai Yuncui and Xia Qingrou that you hesitate to act?" Fuzi asked calmly.

Shen Mochen was taken aback for a moment. "Another reason is that there's no immediate danger; she's a smart person. Since she dares to let me know her thoughts, she surely won't expose me recklessly."

Fuzi pressed further: "Is that the only reason?"

Shen Mochen puzzled: "What else could it be?"

"People often like to lie, sometimes even to themselves," Fuzi said expressionlessly, "You should be careful not to fall for her beauty trap."

"Come on, what do you mean by that? Are you implying that I've developed feelings for her and am therefore showing mercy?"

"My foolish master, that's exactly what I mean."

"Hey hey hey, that's too much, hand over the little whip, I need to discipline you!" Shen Mochen exclaimed angrily.

"I don't want it. You're being both lecherous and foolish right now, I refuse to be whipped by someone like you."

Fuzi deadpanned her critique and was about to leave when Shen Mochen grabbed her, a mocking grin on his face: "What's this, a hint of jealousy? Could it be that you've fallen for the handsome and dashing me?"

"I know you have a history of being romantically prolific, but please don't forget me, your smart master." Fuzi bend down to kiss Shen Mochen's lips lightly, then slowly vanished.

Shen Mochen wiped his lips and muttered under his breath, "I told you to give me a heads-up before you kiss me next time. No surprise attacks, okay? I almost didn't react in time. Are you trying to steal a few extra kisses?"

"One last piece of advice, my smart master once told me that Liu Chaoyan is a dangerous individual. Of course, the danger isn't her ability, but rather her beauty and intelligence. When a woman possesses both beauty and brains, even men smarter than her can unwittingly fall into her trap. What about someone as foolish as you?"

Fuzi's voice reached Shen Mochen's ears as if she were whispering right next to him."""

"Thank you for your advice, I'll be on guard, my loyal and jealous Miss Psycho," Shen Mochen teased purposefully.

Fuzi did not respond again.

Shen Mochen turned on the air conditioner in the room and lay back on the bed. Suddenly, he caught a whiff of an unusual scent.

It smelled like a faint fragrance but it wasn't the scent Xia Qingrou had left behind; it was a pure and serene scent, like a white lotus in a secluded valley, tranquil and refreshing—like the scent that Liu Chaoyan carried.

Had Liu Chaoyan been to his room these days? Shen Mochen frowned slightly.

But the other party must have had a legitimate reason to do so, and there were no secrets in his room; thus, Shen Mochen didn't dwell on it.

With the air conditioning on, the originally stuffy room gradually cooled down.

Shen Mochen lay there for a while, then got up, stepped out of his room, and turned a corner to reach Xiao Xingshuang's bedroom.

At this time, the room was empty of people, containing nothing but the basic furniture.

However, Shen Mochen didn't immediately sense anything amiss, as Xiao Xingshuang's room was always this bare, as if no one lived there.

Looking at it now, it only seemed like its usual self... but not entirely. At least the duvet cover on the bed was gone, as well as the photo of the previous 0819 team members all together that used to be on the table.

Shen Mochen had a particularly strong memory of that photo because it was the only decoration in Xiao Xingshuang's room.

Xia Qingrou and Liu Chaoyan's rooms had one too; it had been taken before Cai Yuncui graduated.

Speaking of which, it seemed that he had never taken part in a big team photo himself... Naturally, the reason was that Xiao Xingshuang's departure was too sudden.

Now, he could only wait to take one when Cai Yuncui returned.

Shen Mochen glanced around the room for a moment before leaving. For the next two months at least, this would be Cai Yuncui's room.

In fact, Shen Mochen had considered offering his own room to Cai Yuncui, since it was originally hers. But after some thought, he decided against it. Voluntarily moving into Xiao Xingshuang's room would suggest that he had some feelings for her.

He had Fuzi send a message to Catherine to take extra care of Xiao Xingshuang, at least to arrange a better doctor for her mother. He felt that he had done his duty towards her, having been comrades-in-arms.

Shen Mochen returned to his bedroom and listlessly turned on the computer.

He was bored, truly bored. Life in Buque was truly boring, even more so than being on holiday. Before he joined, he had thought it would be busy and professional, but in reality, once he got used to it, it was just ordinary work.

Shen Mochen played games all afternoon until dinner time when Xia Qingrou sent a message in the group chat, tagging everyone to come out for dinner.

In reality, this was clearly just for Shen Mochen alone; Han Muxue was right across the hall from her, she could have simply called out to her. Liu Chaoyan didn't need to be summoned either; she would go out before dinner on her own.

Shen Mochen saw the "@everyone" in the group chat, it felt like an attempt to cover one's ears while stealing a bell.

"Oh, right, I have two announcements to make."

After dinner, Liu Chaoyan stopped everyone who was about to leave and cleared her throat with a smile.

Han Muxue raised an eyebrow, "Is it the identity of the new team member? Did we get them assigned so quickly this time?"

Xia Qingrou glanced at Shen Mochen and pouted, "What does this new member look like? Are they good-looking?"
