Catherine nodded, speaking nonchalantly, "Yes, I went with Shen Mochen. Is there a problem?"
The problem wasn't whether you went together or not but that it was just the two of you? The girls wondered silently.
"Um, Kaja, weren't you responsible for logistics and procurent?" they asked.
At this mont, so people around appeared to be whispering to each other but couldn't help turning their ears up for gossip.
Catherine continued calmly, "Logistics and procurent is a very important and complex task; naturally, it can't all be pushed onto one person. Even though Shen Mochen took on this job, it's easy for a single person to make mistakes."
"I see..."
Logically, there was nothing wrong with that statent; it even reflected the sense of duty and responsibility of a class leader.
But the person in question was Catherine, and going out late at night with a boy—even if it was for class business—had a sowhat ambiguous air about it.
How I envy her, I should have volunteered to be in charge of logistics myself! Many boys in the class regretted in silence.
Originally, they had agreed for Shen Mochen to take on the logistics role to offload the most troubleso task onto soone who would not complain. Little did they know that such benefits ca with doing procurent!
But now it's too late for envy, jealousy, and hatred! That Shen Mochen, he really has dumb luck!
I want to go on a date with the Princess too!
The class bell rang, and everyone scrambled to their seats. Liu Bo ran into the classroom, panting along with the bell as the teacher walked in.
"You say that as if you're trying to make others jealous of on purpose," Shen Mochen whispered to Catherine.
"They bully you, so I'm getting back at them for you," Catherine replied in an indifferent tone.
"How have they bullied ? I didn't even notice."
"Didn't they all agree to let you handle logistics alone? What's called majority rules is actually collective bullying."
"But as I recall, wasn't it a certain soone who made the final assignnt?"
"Last night, as I was running around with you, you're still holding a grudge?"
Shen Mochen smiled and scoffed, "As if doing that can atone for your 'sins'..."
While talking, he suddenly thought, could it be that Catherine letting him hold her wasn't just to ss with him or hoping for him to fall in love with her?
Could it be that she, too, was intentionally doing it for those "silent majorities" who stood by when he was bullied by Gao Le? Was it also to get sothing back for him?
"Um..." Shen Mochen started hesitantly, "You just let hold you to make fall in love with you, right?"
Catherine was startled for a mont, then nodded, "Ah right, exactly, you're so smart!"
Shen Mochen gave his full attention to the lesson, but it wasn't long before an empty pen tube, describing a beautiful arc, hit him on the head.
He turned to look, only to see Catherine picking up another empty pen tube, aiming it at his head, ready to throw again.
"What are you doing?"
Shen Mochen raised his hand to block, knowing that the thrown pen nib wouldn't stab the skin but it still hurt.
"Your head looks like a pig's head dartboard; I can't help wanting to throw darts when I see it."
Catherine said seriously.
Barely making it to the end of class, Catherine was dragged to the restroom by a few girls, finally giving Shen Mochen a chance to catch his breath.
"Damn it, big brother, you're too cool!"
Liu Bo had also heard about the morning's events from other students and excitedly grabbed Shen Mochen's arm.
"What did you say?"
Shen Mochen frowned slightly, smiling as he spoke.
Liu Bo was even more excited than Shen Mochen himself, "Having Catherine and Gu Yange stand up for you is really freaking aweso!"
Shen Mochen cleared his throat on his face, "Opposition to school bullying is everyone's responsibility."
"Eh, I heard that Princess voluntarily went shopping with you last night, does she know your secret too..." Liu Bo whispered mysteriously.
"How would I know if she knows or not," Shen Mochen shook his head, the matter with Catherine was too complicated, he didn't want a fourth person to know.
"Eh, I'm so jealous!" Liu Bo glanced at Gao Le in the distance and then sighed to himself, "If I had known earlier, I would have beco a logistics committee mber too... but if I had gone, maybe Princess wouldn't have."
"What are you guys talking about?"
At this ti, Catherine returned to the classroom, patting Shen Mochen on the shoulder as she did.
"Ah, good morning, monitor!" Liu Bo greeted her with a fawning face.
"Hello, Liu Bo," Catherine replied with a smile too.
Liu Bo's face was full of sycophantic smiles and honor.
It seed like from this week onwards, Catherine had beco more amiable towards him. Before, when he greeted her, she would usually just nod with an indifferent expression, at most responding with a simple "hello," and would not call him by his na.
That was Catherine's attitude towards ordinary people.
But now, not only did Catherine call him by his na, but she also smiled at him. That was treatnt reserved only for her friends!
Did I do sothing? Or did Princess finally see through my chubby exterior, understanding my kind soul? For a mont, Liu Bo let his imagination run wild.
Shen Mochen glanced over. It seed Catherine's mood had improved a lot after coming back from the restroom. He didn't know why, but deciphering a girl's thoughts was certainly tricky; he didn't bother trying to figure it out. Her being in a good mood was naturally a good thing; it ant he wouldn't have to endure pencil lead darts in the next class.
Catherine took out the textbooks and notes for the next class from her desk drawer, a slight upward curve at the corner of her mouth.
She had just passed by Class C on her way to the restroom and had seen Gu Yange through the window.
Although Catherine had said that the expressions on Gao Le and so of the boys were interesting when Shen Mochen was holding her, what she really wanted to see was Gu Yange's expression.
She hadn't lied, she actually wasn't fond of lying. Gu Yange coming over to slap Gao Le in the face for Shen Mochen, picking up his books for him, making threats on his behalf at the podium... These actions indeed made her uncomfortable, and she wasn't joking with Shen Mochen.
Of course, she wasn't dark-hearted, unable to bear seeing Shen Mochen well.
It was more like, my boyfriend, why do you need your care?
You don't think that simply holding Shen Mochen for a mont is so incredible, indicating that your relationship with him has progressed, do you?
Then, how about Shen Mochen holding tightly and not letting go? After hearing about this, would your face still carry an air of pride, even a hint of provocation?
Catherine had checked, and she was very satisfied with Gu Yange's reaction.
Of course, this minor character's ability was just that, rely a fortuitous intersection, leaving only a slight impression in Catherine's mind.
In Catherine's heart, the real threat was the new PE teacher, Cai Yuncui. Although she couldn't pinpoint the reason, she had this vague feeling. It wasn't just because she was Shen Mochen's neighbor, nor rely because she was even prettier than the likes of Gu Yange.
The bell for class rang quickly but in the blink of an eye, the second period was also over.
This class had been unusually quiet for Shen Mochen, just as he was about to get up to go to the restroom, he heard a chorus of light gasps from the girls.
"Hello there, Shen Mochen."
A sunny and handso boy stood at the entrance of Class A, waving at Shen Mochen with a smile.
Shen Mochen paused, he recognized the person in front of him, the school hunk, Zhao Yuji.
