Shen Mochen was startled and slightly averted his gaze, "Haha, I had copied it while I was restoring you, sorry, sorry, I didn't get your permission."
Xiao Xingshuang gently licked her lips, the cherry-red on either side glistening moistly under the light.
"If it's just like that, it can only exert 30% of its power, you don't want 100% of my power?" Xiao Xingshuang said, "Although I can't beat a Level-A monster, I'm quite strong."
Shen Mochen's heart skipped a beat. Xiao Xingshuang and Catherine were the most perfect representatives of beauties from the East and West.
Aside from Xia Qingrou, who was beyond perfect, Shen Mochen had not seen anyone who could compare with these two. Even by the aesthetic standards of the Yupi people, Xiao Xingshuang might be even more popular.
Her wheatish skin, eyes like a millennia-calm lake, that world-weary feeling, instigated an inexplicable palpitation.
"Haha, that's not very appropriate. I am dating Xia Sister," Shen Mochen scratched the back of his head.
Xiao Xingshuang looked at him indifferently, "You also kissed her, and, you said you wanted to break up with Xia Qingrou?"
Shen Mochen coughed, "Uh... because you helped , so we don't have to break up now."
"So, you don't want my superpower?" Xiao Xingshuang tilted her head and asked.
Forget it, still want it, just to try and see if I can light up the third Tianji Star, Shen Mochen thought to himself.
Since he was practically separated from Xia Qingrou, there was no need to remain faithful to her. Moreover, Xiao Xingshuang would soon leave Buque for Roman, there wouldn't be any consequences.
"Then please do the honor, I want your superpower, maybe at a critical ti, it might also be able to help you," said Shen Mochen as he went back to his room and locked the door.
"Co on." Xiao Xingshuang sat on the edge of the bed, gathered her hair at the back of her head, and then slowly let go.
Shen Mochen walked over, "Might need to kiss three tis to succeed."
Xiao Xingshuang slowly closed her eyes, "Okay, until you succeed."
"My apologies." Shen Mochen's throat moved, he cradled Xiao Xingshuang's face, and gently kissed her.
Her eyes bore a world-weary gaze, yet her body carried the sweet scent of osmanthus, Shen Mochen thought to himself.
Once, twice, thrice.
The Tianji Star still wasn't lit.
Shen Mochen sighed inwardly, but still sowhat hopeful, planted another kiss: still nothing happened.
"Thank you, that's enough," Shen Mochen said.
Xiao Xingshuang then opened her eyes, her cheeks flush with color. That added touch of coy allure entered her world-weary deanor, forming a stark contrast, and made Shen Mochen's heart flutter.
Yet he restrained the throbbing in his heart and took a step back.
Xiao Xingshuang touched her lips, "That was my first kiss. Xia Qingrou wasn't a first kiss, right?"
Shen Mochen was taken aback, thought to himself, I really didn't want to know it was your first kiss, knowing this actually makes feel a bit embarrassed. And you guessed wrong, although Xia Qingrou seems promiscuous, she's actually quite innocent inside.
"I won't tell Xia Qingrou. Before I leave, you can co to anyti to 'replenish'," Xiao Xingshuang added.
"Ah, ah, ah..." Shen Mochen didn't know how to express himself, he could only nod.
Do you have a grudge against Xia Qingrou? Shen Mochen thought to himself.
Xiao Xingshuang seed to be deliberately undermining her, and even after doing so, she didn't forget to step on her.
Originally, he thought the atmosphere in Team 0819 was good, devoid of the usual scheming found in normal female groups. But now it seed he had been too optimistic.
Where there are people, there are always cliques.
However, Xiao Xingshuang didn't seem to have any further intentions, and she was about to leave, so the impact should be limited.
Moreover, given Xia Qingrou's attitude, she bore no hostility towards Xiao Xingshuang and even included her in the range she vowed to "protect."
"Is this considered repaying a favor?" Shen Mochen asked.
"It's just what I wanted to do," Xiao Xingshuang replied.
You really do have a grudge against Xia Qingrou, don't you? Shen Mochen mused internally.
However, he didn't voice this thought; after all, sotis it's better to remain ignorant and avoid trouble.
Back in his own hospital room, he turned off the light and lay on the bed, silently pulling out his phone. Catherine hadn't left any ssages or calls, even though she could have learned from Fuzi that he was alright. But the lack of even a consolatory ssage or a joke must an she knew about him kissing Fuzi.
Shen Mochen rubbed his head, realizing it was already midnight. He would call to thank her tomorrow.
Should he act more justifiably? After all, they were just friends now, and Shen Mochen hadn't done anything to betray her.
No, it's better to act a bit guilty. It wasn't a matter of whether he could be defiant but rather a display of how much he cared about her.
So many things had happened tonight, and now that it had suddenly quieted down, it really felt like a world apart.
The team's issues had been resolved. There shouldn't be any problem with Liu Chaoyan. Reflecting on tonight, when he was accused of stealing underwear, she hadn't taken a clear stance or participated in the accusations... What was her expression at that ti?
Shen Mochen thought hard and suddenly realized he couldn't rember Liu Chaoyan's expression then! But from her criticism of Xiao Xingshuang and self-criticism, she at least seed to be a competent and fair leader, which was reassuring.
There were no more issues with Xia Qingrou either; they just had to pretend to be a couple going forward. But for Shen Mochen, it wasn't difficult; just because he pretended to be a pure-hearted young man didn't an he truly was one.
Thinking of Xia Qingrou's final words not to fall in love with her, Shen Mochen just smiled it off. She probably thought he had reconciled with her and agreed to continue their pretense because he was sowhat interested in her. But the truth was, he simply didn't want to create trouble. Moreover, he found Xia Qingrou to be foolishly cute, and it wasn't necessary to take her seriously.
Although Xia Qingrou was extraordinarily beautiful, Shen Mochen wasn't the type to focus solely on looks.
But when she asked, Shen Mochen gave a more tactful answer.
He would try not to fall for her, which reassured her a bit without making her feel overlooked.
After all, Xia Qingrou was a bit neurotic; if he flatly said, "I have no feelings for you," it might hurt her self-esteem and lead to so ridiculous antagonism.
The situation with Xiao Xingshuang was a bit more complicated. In her eyes, Shen Mochen and Xia Qingrou were a loving couple, yet at the sa ti, Shen Mochen was interested in her underwear. It was hard to guess what she was really up to... Since she always had a stoic expression, Shen Mochen found her harder to read than Catherine.
However, it was clear that she didn't hold any good feelings for Xia Qingrou. It seed she didn't want to disrupt the team atmosphere either and only harbored the thought of "loosening the soil" towards Shen Mochen.
And since she needed a favor from Catherine, she definitely wouldn't spread rumors about Shen Mochen; probably no one was more eager to maintain the current balance than her.
Moreover, this teammate had only two or three months left, so it didn't matter much if they didn't consider her feelings.
Lastly was Han Muxue... Han Muxue might be the most innocent person in Team 0819.
Shen Mochen recalled the gardenia scent on her and inadvertently smiled.
Yes, that should cover everything; there were no omissions or threats to his position, Shen Mochen thought.
Tomorrow would be a brand new day, and he should continue being his reserved, charming young man.
