Catherine still seed a bit out of it, lacking her usual energy. Shen Mochen didn't fuss over it, simply ntioning that the cookies from last night were delicious, and he had nearly finished the whole bag. This elicited a flicker of happiness on her face.
In the evening, as usual, the two of them went shopping together, and Catherine behaved normally.
But Shen Mochen constantly felt an almost imperceptible murderous aura, which always left a chill down his neck.
On the way back, Shen Mochen asked the person in the driver's seat with a serious face, "May I ask if I've sohow offended Miss Fuzi?"
Fuzi calmly replied, "Why would you think that?"
"I just feel like you've been glaring at fiercely all day, as if you're about to leap out and give a beating at any mont."
"How could that be? You're the master's boyfriend. Until you break up with the master, I wouldn't lay a hand on you."
"So, you'll beat up after we break up?" Shen Mochen angrily turned his head to tell on her to Catherine, "Look, that's an outright threat, isn't it?"
Catherine turned her head away, pretending not to hear.
After being dropped off at the foot of the building, mindful of yesterday's lesson, Shen Mochen made sure he hadn't left anything behind.
"Are those fruits for Teacher Cai?" Catherine eyed the high-end fruits Shen Mochen picked up on the way, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, it's only polite since I always mooch als at her place," Shen Mochen nodded.
"Then you better hurry up and not keep her waiting."
Catherine kicked Shen Mochen out the door.
Shen Mochen stumbled nearly falling before stabilizing. After he got back on his feet, Catherine had already closed the car door, and the luxury sedan slowly pulled away, disappearing into the night.
"She didn't leave any food today…" Shen Mochen murmured to himself.
It seed Catherine didn't make desserts every day… It might also have to do with her feeling under the weather.
Climbing up to the third floor, Shen Mochen entered with a smile, "Caiyu Sister, look what I've brought you?"
"You being here is enough, why did you bring fruits!"
Yuncui chided, taking Shen Mochen's backpack and setting it on the living room table.
Shen Mochen chuckled, "I just passed by a fruit store, so I grabbed a few."
Yuncui shook her head helplessly, then craned to look at the packaging which was quite upscale, "You didn't have to buy sothing so nice, no more next ti! Go wash your hands first, dinner will be ready soon!"
After washing his hands, Shen Mochen joined Yuncui in the kitchen. She was still busy, saying with a smile, "You ca back early today, even earlier than yesterday!"
Shen Mochen helped out saying, "I wanted to co back early to have dinner with Caiyu Sister. I'm hungry!"
"I'm so happy to hear that. Tonight I want to watch you eat an extra few bowls!"
Yuncui tapped Shen Mochen's nose with her finger.
Shen Mochen smiled without responding. In fact, he had co back early to take care of Catherine, who seed to be low in spirits today, perhaps due to her nstrual cycle.
Therefore, he hadn't made Catherine walk much, suggesting they call it a day after choosing the wallpaper.
Naturally, there was no need to tell Yuncui about this.
Setting the table with their al, the two sat down to eat.
"Tomorrow you have PE class in your school!" Yuncui said with a beaming smile.
"Yeah, tomorrow's Thursday…" Shen Mochen paused for a mont, then caught on.
"Hehe, I loved Wednesdays back when I was a student."
Yuncui smiled, beaming as she ladled soup for Shen Mochen.
"Why is that?"
"Because when I was a student, I always calculated it this way: on Monday, I'd wait for Wednesday, and once Wednesday arrived, half the week had passed. After Wednesday was Thursday, and I'd think, one more day and it'll be the weekend!"
"So that's how it is, seems like we're all the sa, huh!"
"After all, it's not been that many years cough cough cough..." Cai Yuncui started with a nod and a laugh, but then sothing seed to strike her, and she cleared her throat, putting on an elder's face, "I didn't expect that students nowadays would still do this. Ah, it turns out that even though tis change, so things never do!"
Shen Mochen nodded vigorously on the surface.
You're my sister, and I truly didn't an that; there's no need for you to emphasize the generation gap between us all the ti. However, Shen Mochen felt sowhat helpless inside, blaming Yin Caiyu for causing trouble!
When she returned, he would definitely have her clarify things, otherwise it could beco awkward in future conversations!
"Has that classmate been bullying you lately?" Cai Yuncui asked.
"It stopped," Shen Mochen shook his head.
"That's good, if he bullies you again, I'll trouble him tomorrow!"
"How do you plan to trouble him, Cai Sister?"
Cai Yuncui paused for a mont, then, with a fierce look on her face, said, "I'll make him run laps on the track!"
Shen Mochen chuckled: "Cai Teacher, randomly making soone run laps on the track, isn't that a bit biased?"
"You're my little brother, of course I'm biased toward you!"
Cai Yuncui laughed and puffed out her chest, nearly pulling Shen Mochen's eyes right in with the force of the waves.
"Cough cough, don't worry, he really hasn't bothered again. He even apologized to today!" Shen Mochen assured Cai Yuncui to put her mind at ease, "He's friends with the school hunk, who ca in person to make peace."
"School hunk?"
"Yeah, didn't you know, Cai Sister? Our school hunk is senior D class's Zhao Yuji, handso and polite."
Cai Yuncui showed a slight surprise on her face, tilting her head and blinking, "Zhao Yuji?"
Judging by her reaction, it seed Cai Yuncui might know this Zhao Yuji.
Shen Mochen casually asked, "Have you heard about him, Cai Sister?"
"Mmm, I've even had dinner with him a few tis!" Cai Yuncui nodded.
Now it was Shen Mochen's turn to be surprised, his eyes widening: "Aren't you new to First Middle School? Have you been matched with him?"
Cai Yuncui's face turned red, and she quickly waved her hands in denial: "No, no, I couldn't be matched with him! I'm much older than he is! It's my fault for not explaining, I knew him from a long ti ago!"
Her flustered appearance was genuinely endearing, her cheeks as tender and juicy as a ripe peach, looking as if one bite would make the juice flow.
Shen Mochen's voice lowered further: "How did you co to know him, Cai Sister? From what I know, his family seems quite formidable..."
Cai Yuncui adjusted her glasses: "I told you before, one of my comrades is a very powerful young lady!"
Shen Mochen's eyes dropped: "The one who likes Donuts..."
"Right right right, that's her. Her family is quite formidable too, and their families arranged a marriage last year!"
"Oh... a high society alliance."
Cai Yuncui nodded: "Yeah, pretty much. Afterwards, Zhao Yuji would occasionally invite us to dinner, a very polite and gracious person indeed, a true Young Master raised by a distinguished Family!"
"High society alliances, sounds quite impressive; I've only seen that in novels and TV."
"It's not all that great... The two of them had barely interacted before, and then suddenly they're told to get married. Luckily, Zhao Yuji is a decent person, and Chaoyan doesn't dislike him!"
Shen Mochen joked: "Zhao Yuji is our school hunk, you know, so handso. Your comrade must be grinning ear to ear!"
"Cut it out, Chaoyan is very beautiful!" Cai Yuncui was quite indignant, pulling up a photo on her phone to show Shen Mochen, defending her best friend's honor, "Here, take a look! She's more than enough to match with student Zhao Yuji!"
