"I heard you can play the piano, play for ."
Shen Mochen pointed to the electronic keyboard in the corner.
"Eh, just like that?" Xia Qingrou was stunned.
Shen Mochen grinned, "Why does your voice sound so disappointed, you little pervert? Could it be that you actually want to do 'that' with ?"
Xia Qingrou, burning with sha, only wanted to find a hole to crawl into. She turned around to touch the electronic keyboard, "Who would want to do that with a scumbag like you, pah, pah, pah, disgusting! Even if you use that as a threat to do it with you again, I'd rather die than comply!"
"Well, it's good that I didn't propose such an indecent idea... Actually, I did think about it, but I guessed you wouldn't agree," Shen Mochen sighed to himself, "So I had to settle for less."
"Hmph, at least you know your place!" Xia Qingrou gritted her teeth, "Why do you suddenly want to hear play the piano?"
Shen Mochen sat on the edge of the bed, lifted his chin, "I've never heard it before. Since I'm bored anyway, if you play the piano for , I'll keep your secret in front of your family and even pretend to be your boyfriend."
"Pah, like I care?" Xia Qingrou muttered under her breath, but still switched on the electronic keyboard, "Tell , what do you want to hear?"
"I don't know what you're good at, just play whatever you're best at."
Xia Qingrou's lips moved slightly, she grumbled softly, but still played.
Really, even after breaking up, he was still so gentle. Why has he beco so arrogant after coming back from vacation?
It had been a long ti since Xia Qingrou played the piano. There were occasional mistakes, even an amateur like Shen Mochen could notice, but overall it was not bad, at least it sounded nice.
About five or six minutes later, Xia Qingrou stopped, her face reluctantly, "Are you done? If it's finished, then leave."
Shen Mochen calmly said, "It doesn't feel as good as the ones online."
Xia Qingrou bit her lip, "Of course, those are played by masters! If you don't like my playing, why bother coming to !"
"Although it's not as good as the masters, actually what you played was pretty nice," Shen Mochen added.
Xia Qingrou's lips curled up slightly, "Hmph, no need to butter up, do you want to continue listening?"
"Yeah, just one question though, why haven't I heard you play in the more than two months I've been here?"
If not for hearing Xiao Xingshuang ntioning it by chance, Shen Mochen wouldn't have even known Xia Qingrou could play the piano.
Xia Qingrou fell silent again, then scratched her face and adjusted her glasses.
"It's because of Yanyan," Xia Qingrou said sowhat awkwardly.
"She doesn't let you play?"
Xia Qingrou revealed a resigned air, "She plays better. When I went out with her once... I've heard her play. How can I dare to show off in front of her!"
"So that's it. The captain does seem like the type to be good at everything... But you don't need to compare yourself with the captain. Even if she's very good, that has nothing to do with you," Shen Mochen earnestly said, "At least I don't like to listen to her play the piano, I like to listen to you."
"Oh..."
Xia Qingrou's heart ward, her eyes almost curved into crescents, but then, suddenly rembering sothing, she put on a stern face.
"Cut it out. Just because you like to listen, I have to play? We're over, you scumbag. Don't think you can tempt with sweet talk!"
Now he tries to please , too late!
"It's very sad what you're doing. Even if we broke up, we can still be friends, playing the piano for a friend and all..."
"You call yourself a friend? Yanyan, Xuexue, and the others are my friends, and sister Yuncui..." Xia Qingrou sat on the swivel chair, spinning around before suddenly stopping and looking at Shen Mochen, "Right, about Yuncui's situation, did you know about it beforehand?"
"Which situation? Her superpower rejuvenating, or her planning to rejoin the team?"
"About her superpower... getting stronger," Xia Qingrou hesitated, her eyes seeking assistance and dodging, "If it really is secret, you don't have to say... but I just wanted to ask, this reverse strengthening of a superpower, how does it happen, is there a pattern to it..."
She felt guilty as she spoke, wanting to know but fearing it was a secret, worried Shen Mochen wouldn't tell her.
She thought that if Shen Mochen knew, he would tell her, but she also feared Shen Mochen might violate discipline for her... yet she really wanted to know.
She wasn't getting any younger and could clearly feel herself getting weaker. Like an old person, helplessly watching themselves beco more fragile day by day, unable to do anything about it.
Moreover, her superpower weakened at many tis the speed of human aging, which made the feeling even more painful.
"I... don't know," Shen Mochen shook his head, a flicker in his eyes, "There probably isn't any pattern or criteria to it. If this was sothing that could be controlled, the people in charge would have already done it."
Xia Qingrou's eyes dimd, she lowered her head, murmuring, "I see... right..."
"Anyway, my sister said not everyone can experience a temporary rejuvenation of their superpower and even for those who do, the situations are different. So might just have a al, so might just drink water, so might just be playing with their phones, and then they find their superpower has been enhanced..." Shen Mochen continued.
"Mhm..."
Xia Qingrou took a deep breath, giving up all hope, her deanor deflated.
"By the way, I forgot sothing very important. I haven't cleared things up with my second sister in detail. She actually slandered you, saying you're like wood in bed, which is way too much. She has no idea how proactive you are in bed!" Shen Mochen looked down to check his phone.
"Hey, why are you like this!" Xia Qingrou was stunned, a mix of anger and embarrassnt, reaching out to snatch the phone, "I played the piano for you!"
"Playing the piano was just the price of pretending to be your boyfriend. If you don't want to clear things up, you'll have to pay extra!"
Shen Mochen had an arrogant look, his shaless face resembling that of a profligate son who flirts unapologetically.
Xia Qingrou stomped her foot, resigning to the inevitable, "Fine, what else do you want to do!"
"Kiss once, and we'll call it quits," Shen Mochen pointed at his lips, "Of course, just one kiss will do. I will absolutely not make you kiss a second ti!"
"Pah, not happening!" Xia Qingrou clenched her teeth, venomously saying, "Even if I kiss you now, you'll only keep asking for more later!"
"Hey, hey, hey, have so faith in my integrity!"
"You have integrity? You scumbag!"
"I swear, I won't push for more, and this will be the last ti I threaten you!"
"So you admit you're threatening ! I don't want to kiss you, gross, pah!"
