"Shen Mochen!" Liu Bo ran over from a distance.
He had wanted to co over earlier, but seeing Catherine and Shen Mochen chatting, he didn't dare.
He wasn't the only one who thought this; the students from First Middle School who were watching from afar didn't disturb the two. In fact, in the eyes of most, Shen Mochen's breakup with Catherine was related to her impending engagent—the chasm of family disparity was an insurmountable gulf.
Their future together was dood; what's more, so had already envisioned a tragic farewell between the two.
Actually, their imagination wasn't entirely wrong.
"Liu Bo, long ti no see," Shen Mochen patted Liu Bo on the shoulder.
"Are you… okay?" the chubby boy wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes wary.
Shen Mochen nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine."
Don't you see your own expression right now? You're obviously not okay, even I can tell, Liu Bo thought to himself.
"The world is full of beauties. The class leader and us were never in the sa league… Cheer up. There are plenty of pretty girls out there, what kind can't you find if you want to?" Liu Bo consoled him.
"Yeah," Shen Mochen said.
Liu Bo bit his lip and whispered, "I'll treat you to a night at Nevernight, my treat!"
Nevernight is a high-end red-light district in Yu Huai City, boasting eighty percent of the city's upscale clubs; it's filled with beauty and models everywhere—a dream paradise for virtually every man in Yu Huai.
"I'd rather not go," Shen Mochen shook his head.
It wasn't just his current mood— even in better tis, he wouldn't go there. He had worked as a waiter in that place and had seen the glitzy and glamorous life inside. Though it was full of beauties, hardly any of them compared to Yin Huailian or Yin Caiyu.
Besides, having always been pursued by girls, he never had the desire to spend money in such places.
"Co on, just think of it as keeping company!" Liu Bo persisted.
"I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't feel like going..." Shen Mochen said, looking in the distance towards the swiftly approaching You Feicheng, "Besides, I don't need to go, do I?"
"Shen Mochen, long ti no see, huh…"
You Feicheng ca over, her face radiating a masculine kind of charm, handso and sprightly—an aspect sowhat similar to Xia Qingrou, yet naturally not as appealing, although she was a bit taller than Xia Qingrou.
She cautiously greeted him upon arriving in front of Shen Mochen, knowing that he must be feeling quite down at the mont.
At a ti like this, she felt she should co over and comfort him—their past shared kiss made their relationship closer than others, after all.
"Yeah, long ti no see," Shen Mochen smiled.
Liu Bo glanced at his classmate who always wore a pleasant smile. She was usually so aloof, when had she ever given him such a warm smile?
He finally realized—did Shen Mochen need his comfort? This You Feicheng, a regular on the campus Goddess List, wasn't she better than any princess in those clubs?
The disparity between people is indeed vast; he only thought to take him to a club for consolation, not realizing that it was his own external limitations that restrained his imagination.
"Well, then I'll be heading out first... Contact after Shen Mochen gets ho, okay?" Liu Bo patted Shen Mochen on the shoulder and left sheepishly.
It's not bad having You Feicheng to comfort him, and judging by the pitying look in her eyes, it wouldn't be impossible for that comfort to extend to the bed tonight... Damn it, being good-looking is such an advantage. Ugly guys like will never experience having a girl's eyes filled only with them.
But it's odd, how do such good-looking people co from the north? The Yin sisters too... I heard their parents moved here later on, they weren't originally from Yu Huai City, were they? Now that I think about it, their parents' accents do seem a bit strange...
After Liu Bo tactfully left, You Feicheng was quite pleased with his "perception." She nudged Shen Mochen's arm, "Let treat you to a al."
Although there had been various unpleasant rumors about Shen Mochen before... his good looks were enough to forgive him! And at a ti like this, he must be very vulnerable—perfect for seizing a higher status!
"Right, we're just about to have a gathering; you should co with us," a few girls from the class also approached.
"Thanks, but I'll pass this ti, maybe next ti, I'll treat you guys," Shen Mochen said with a smile, waving his hand. All he wanted now was to go ho.
He had just politely declined the girls' invitation when Zhao Yuji and Gu Yange walked over. Gu Yange followed behind Zhao Yuji, looking at You Feicheng with hostility in her eyes.
Zhao Yuji was as charming as ever, "I'm really sorry, but I have so words I'd like to discuss with Shen Mochen in private, could my fellow students give us a little space, please?"
The girls left one by one, and Gu Yange pulled You Feicheng's hand to the side.
"Look on the bright side, Catherine was never soone you could have."
Once everyone had left, Zhao Yuji smiled at Shen Mochen.
"If you were smart, you wouldn't provoke at a ti like this," Shen Mochen sneered back.
Zhao Yuji took a step back, a flash of caution in his eyes, and then said, "You've misunderstood ; I just want to be friends with you. There might have been so misunderstandings between us before, and I can apologize for that. Can't we make up and be on good terms?"
"And what's in it for ?"
"Isn't my friendship enough?"
"That sounds quite nice, assuming I could actually get your friendship," Shen Mochen shook his head with a scoff, "Do you think I don't know who's been spreading bad rumors about at school?"
"I think you might be misunderstanding..."
"You flatter yourself too much. Your friendship is worthless to . Your heart is so weak that you can only live off the approval of others. I'm like the mountain in front of you, blocking your path, and all you think about is how to get rid of . I don't understand why, with such a distinguished family background, you still care about soone insignificant like . Soone like you, who lacks magnanimity, isn't worth a second glance from . You're even afraid of —how pathetic, forr King of Handso. Oh, by the way, I heard you've been calling Liu Chaoyan more frequently than before; are you that scared... that I've cuckolded you?"
Shen Mochen's smile was amiable, but his tone dripped with ruthless sarcasm, sparing no rcy in mocking the other's hypocrisy and cowardice.
Zhao Yuji had indeed overestimated himself; hearing that Shen Mochen had brought gifts for the teacher, he thought he could be condescendingly charitable.
But Shen Mochen was in a terrible mood at the mont, and to him, Zhao Yuji was just a blow-up version of Gao Le.
After being incessantly scolded by Shen Mochen, Zhao Yuji's face turned red with embarrassnt. Never had anyone dared to mock him like this, let alone with such painfully true words.
"Oh, sorry, that might have been a bit harsh. At least your fiancée treats quite well and takes good care of ," Shen Mochen continued to stare at Zhao Yuji with a smile.
Honestly, why is it that every ti he's in a bad mood, soone always shows up, just begging for him to vent on them.
