"""With these developnts, so things seed prid to erge.
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 mont 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 ti, 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 soone, could you do it?"
Fuzi didn't hesitate: "If you command to kill, I will do it for you. Do you want to kill Liu Chaoyan? It seems she already knows so 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 ."
"Is it because of Cai Yuncui and Xia Qingrou that you hesitate to act?" Fuzi asked calmly.
Shen Mochen was taken aback for a mont. "Another reason is that there's no imdiate danger; she's a smart person. Since she dares to let know her thoughts, she surely won't expose recklessly."
Fuzi pressed further: "Is that the only reason?"
Shen Mochen puzzled: "What else could it be?"
"People often like to lie, sotis even to themselves," Fuzi said expressionlessly, "You should be careful not to fall for her beauty trap."
"Co on, what do you an by that? Are you implying that I've developed feelings for her and am therefore showing rcy?"
"My foolish master, that's exactly what I an."
"Hey hey hey, that's too much, hand over the little whip, I need to discipline you!" Shen Mochen exclaid angrily.
"I don't want it. You're being both lecherous and foolish right now, I refuse to be whipped by soone 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 handso and dashing ?"
"I know you have a history of being romantically prolific, but please don't forget , 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 a heads-up before you kiss next ti. No surprise attacks, okay? I almost didn't react in ti. Are you trying to steal a few extra kisses?"
"One last piece of advice, my smart master once told 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 n smarter than her can unwittingly fall into her trap. What about soone 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 slled 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 ti, the room was empty of people, containing nothing but the basic furniture.
However, Shen Mochen didn't imdiately sense anything amiss, as Xiao Xingshuang's room was always this bare, as if no one lived there.
Looking at it now, it only seed 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 mbers all together that used to be on the table.
Shen Mochen had a particularly strong mory 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 seed 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 mont 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 so thought, he decided against it. Voluntarily moving into Xiao Xingshuang's room would suggest that he had so feelings for her.
He had Fuzi send a ssage 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 gas all afternoon until dinner ti when Xia Qingrou sent a ssage in the group chat, tagging everyone to co 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 announcents 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 mber? Did we get them assigned so quickly this ti?"
Xia Qingrou glanced at Shen Mochen and pouted, "What does this new mber look like? Are they good-looking?"
