"That proud girl is getting engaged," Shen Mochen mused to himself, "I still rember how adamantly she declared that she would surely fall in love with ."
She had been so proud and arrogant back then; yet today, she took the initiative to apologize to him over a trivial matter.
She seed to have matured quite a bit, but this probably was just Catherine's usual deanor. Throughout the long days at First Middle School, she had always had this indifferent expression, nonchalant about everything.
It was only when she was with him that she showed her childish arrogance.
For so reason, Shen Mochen only saw the shadow of the young girl before his eyes.
Forced into a relationship at sunset, eating breakfast together at a snack shop, strolling down the street in the evening breeze, walking towards the lonely villa in the night…
Her smirk, pride, encouragent, arrogance. The joy, loneliness, anticipation, disappointnt in her eyes…
How annoying!
Shen Mochen ran his fingers through his hair. He had felt this sa irritation when he broke up with Xia Qingrou, but this felt sowhat different.
When he had broken up with Xia Qingrou, it was with a sense of guilt and bewildernt, but now he was filled with intense discontentnt… as if soone had stolen his favorite fairy tale book when he was a child.
He rembered, afterward, he had picked up a rock and broken the thief's arm.
He stood up and walked to the door opposite his.
Cai Yuncui had just finished showering, her graceful figure concealed beneath a sowhat tight nightgown, the neckline wide open, her tender cheeks flushed with a rosy hue.
"You're back," Cai Yuncui noticed her own outfit and blushed, but recalling how many tis he had probably seen her body, she didn't react much, just silently shifted her stance.
"Yeah, can I sleep over here tonight?"
"Of course, you can," Cai Yuncui said with a smile, "You take my room, I'll just sleep on the sofa."
Shen Mochen's voice carried a plea, "Can I sleep in the sa room as you?"
Cai Yuncui was taken aback, her face turned beet red, and she started to feel embarrassed: "Eh, sleep together? But, I…"
"I can sleep on the floor," Shen Mochen said.
"Why do you suddenly want to sleep with tonight?" Cai Yuncui's innocent face was flushed, and though her heart thumped wildly, she tried to appear calm in front of Shen Mochen.
"I'm just... really bothered right now," Shen Mochen touched his own chest.
"Is that so…" Cai Yuncui looked into Shen Mochen's eyes, stretched out her arms, and gently hugged him, rubbing her head on his shoulder with a tender voice, "Alright then, you can sleep with your sister tonight."
"Thank you, sister Cai," Shen Mochen said softly, "Do you think I'm a remarkable person?"
"You must be remarkable!" Cai Yuncui was startled, then said seriously, "You study well, right? And you're a Superpower User, with such formidable superpowers…"
"I don't think I'm that remarkable; having superpowers is just a matter of good luck," Shen Mochen cut her off, his tone still dejected.
Cai Yuncui covered her mouth, looking into Shen Mochen's desolate eyes, reached out to touch his face: "But, you saved , back in our hotown, you pulled out, you're my hero!"
Hero… hero…
I was just venting my frustrations on soone, what kind of hero is that.
...
The morning sunlight spilled over Shen Mochen as he opened his eyes. Cai Yuncui, lying next to him, was holding his arm, murmuring softly.
Last night, Cai Yuncui didn't have Shen Mochen sleep on the floor; instead, she let him share the bed with her, albeit with separate blankets.
She noticed Shen Mochen was in a bad mood, but when she asked the reason he didn't want to talk about it, and she didn't press him, only gently stayed by his side.
Sohow, the two blankets had co together, and Cai Yuncui held Shen Mochen, the air filled with the sweet scent of coconut milk.
The morning reaction was really sothing... Shen Mochen glanced at his lower body and tiptoed out of bed, lest she see it later and feel extrely embarrassed.
After Shen Mochen left, Cai Yuncui slowly opened her eyes, her face flush with shyness. She was actually awake, and she had felt that indescribable thing, but she hadn't dared to wake Shen Mochen and let him know that she had felt it.
He's so vibrant, little Chen must have gotten so energy back, too. Cai Yuncui thought to herself, It really is so big, I don't know how Qingrou manages to take it... No, no, what am I thinking about!
Cai Yuncui slapped her face hard, then scrambled out of bed to wash up and cook.
Shen Mochen still went to the hospital during the day, wouldn't return at noon, and stayed there until evening. Cai Yuncui had even made him a packed lunch to eat at midday.
Right now, Cai Yuncui was the person who knew most of Shen Mochen's secrets, but she wasn't very bright. She knew Shen Mochen had a superpower that could amplify soone's superpower in a short ti, but it never occurred to her that this could be used on Yin Caiyu.
Perhaps in her eyes, Yin Caiyu was already dead, and even the strongest superpower couldn't resurrect the dead.
But she didn't try to get Shen Mochen to move on either; she felt that it would be too cruel to him.
"Today... it's the last day of this term, and sumr vacation starts tomorrow."
Another morning arrived, and Cai Yuncui busied herself in the kitchen, lifting her head carefully to glance at Shen Mochen.
Shen Mochen understood Cai Yuncui's implication, wondering whether he should visit the school today.
"I might go to the school today," Shen Mochen said, looking down.
The image of a certain girl flashed before his eyes.
"Really? Then would you like to go with later?" Cai Yuncui's face lit up with happiness.
"You go ahead, Sister Cai. I'll get ready and follow later," Shen Mochen said.
He was still hesitating.
After Cai Yuncui left, Shen Mochen got up and went back to his room, pulling out the First Middle School uniform from the closet.
It really has been a while... though, actually, it's only been two or three months.
Shen Mochen suddenly rembered Xia Qingrou once playing dress-up with him in a First Middle School uniform bought online, and frankly, it suited her well.
Putting on the uniform, Shen Mochen neatly straightened the edges, then left ho to find a decent-looking barbershop, asking the stylist for a nice haircut.
"Are you Shen Mochen?"
The mont he sat down, a stylist with a sexy little mustache excitedly asked.
"Do you know ?" Shen Mochen asked in surprise, his guard up.
There were many girls who fancied him, and there were just as many guys.
"It really is you!" the stylist exclaid, "I've seen you on the news in Yu Huai City. You're a Buque, right? I heard that you were comnded for acting heroically before your awakening. Such a hero at a young age!"
I didn't know that. People always seem to have inexplicably high expectations of .
Am I really that impressive of a person?
She seed to have matured a lot, but this was probably more like her usual self.
"That proud girl, getting engaged isn't the sa as getting married..."
"Right, you're correct."
