You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 347 - 338
Shen Mochen knew Han Muxue liked him. It's often said that girls are very sensitive, but many boys are just as sensitive, especially someone like Shen Mochen who had a rich experience of being liked.
The reason they became what they were now was simply owing to the guilt they felt towards each other, especially Han Muxue.
So, all he needed to do was dissolve her guilt. Let her think he was a worthless jerk and that Xia Qingrou's decision to break up with him was the right one. This way, she wouldn't carry an emotional burden.
Shen Mochen deduced that if he did this, in just a few days, the relationship between Xia Qingrou and Han Muxue would be restored to what it was before. Moreover, his confession would likely boost Han Muxue's self-confidence about him as well.
However, the only downside to this method was that it would damage his own image and interests. It was a true case of self-sacrifice for the benefit of others... not something he would typically do.
Shen Mochen turned off the TV, returned to his room, and stretched lazily, feeling somewhat tired.
There was really no need to do this. Why was he so impulsive? Was it because of his apology and feelings for Xia Qingrou, or was it the lonely look in Han Muxue's eyes when she watched Liu Chaoyan flying to the sky?
Ah well, what's done is done. It wouldn't have much impact anyway, Han Muxue probably wouldn't tell anyone about this matter.
But speaking of which, Han Muxue's skin was really smooth and tender, like warm, soft jade. Shen Mochen subconsciously put his hand to his nose and sniffed. There was a faint scent of gardenias remaining.
Better get some sleep. What else can you do in the big summer heat?
Just as Shen Mochen thought this, there was a knock at the door.
Shen Mochen was momentarily startled, then realized it was Liu Chaoyan knocking.
"Come in," Shen Mochen said.
Liu Chaoyan entered with a radiant smile, carrying a chess set in her arms.
"Shen, would you like to play chess?" Liu Chaoyan smiled radiantly, like blooming spring flowers.
"Sure," Shen Mochen immediately perked up.
Maybe it was because everything Liu Chaoyan did was so perfect that it felt almost sacrilegious to fault her, or maybe it was the menial things Shen Mochen had done in front of her during his childhood that made him shy to recall.
Shen Mochen always had a faint trepidation in his heart whenever he faced Liu Chaoyan, as if he wasn't completely his own.
Suddenly, Shen Mochen figured that the reason he had acted that way towards Han Muxue just now was also because he clearly understood her feelings.
He could relate to the feeling of shame when faced with someone you liked.

"Let's play," Liu Chaoyan said with a slight smile, setting up the chessboard.
She always wore a white dress with cascading black hair, sitting there quietly like a fairy descending to the mortal world to reflect in the water, making the fleeting moments seem eternal.
And compared to before, Liu Chaoyan looked even lovelier today in a sleeveless dress, her waist accentuated with a purple sash that perfectly displayed her figure and unusually revealed her tight, fair thighs.
Moreover, her feet were unusually clad in sandals, the delicate and plump toes looking tender and shiny, like jewels, unavoidably attracting more glances.
"Hmm, okay..." Shen Mochen covertly averted his gaze and casually remarked, "Captain looks really special today. Did something happy happen?"
"Does it look strange?" Liu Chaoyan looked down at her own attire and smiled slightly.
"No, no, no, I think it looks very nice," Shen Mochen quickly said.
Liu Chaoyan's dresses had always completely covered her knees, and she never wore slippers in front of strangers, let alone a sleeveless dress that revealed the edge of her chest.
Her persona was just like that, every move she made, and even the angle of her smile, had to be dignified, perfect, and just right.
But today's outfit really didn't seem like that of a poised and wealthy princess, but more like that of the girl next door. She clearly wasn't wearing this at lunch... she must have changed in the afternoon.
Liu Chaoyan tilted her head and smiled playfully, "Does Shen mean to say that I usually don't look good?"
Shen Mochen quickly waved his hands, "Not at all, Captain looks good every day, everything suits you!"
Damn it, why am I starting to panic... Why is her sly joking manner so attractive?
Shen Mochen forced his gaze away from her and quietly exhaled.
"Hahaha, I was just teasing you. Look how stirred up you got, your face is all red." Liu Chaoyan covered her mouth and giggled, "What I'm wearing today is just the same as usual."
"Mm-hmm..." Shen Mochen nodded, thinking to himself that aside from both being white dresses, he couldn't see any similarity.
But maybe, she dressed lightly today just because it's summer, and maybe she'll dress like this in the future too, so he felt it was no different...
Indeed, whatever you wear looks good, and it would look even better if you wore nothing! Shen Mochen suddenly thought to himself.
However, just as this thought arose, he was frightened and quickly suppressed it. He had been single for a while now, and the affectionate moment he had with Han Muxue earlier really set him on edge.
Calm down, calm down, how could I fantasize about the captain? Besides, the captain has a fiancé, that's Zhao Yuji... that bastard!
Even though they had not interacted much, Shen Mochen was already very clear about the kind of person Zhao Yuji was. Vain, sneaky, backstabbing.
He knew well that even after leaving school, Zhao Yuji had not stopped targeting him. The few times Shen Mochen's reputation was greatly damaged, Zhao Yuji was definitely behind it.
Such a pathetic insecure worm, who just can't stand to see anyone else steal his limelight.
Luckily, now that he had awakened his superpower and joined Buque, Zhao Yuji wouldn't dare to easily mess with him anymore. Otherwise, Shen Mochen's fate would be very miserable.
Sheesh, such a bastard, truly not worthy of the captain! A flower is to be stuck in cow dung!
Shen Mochen mentally cursed.
At this moment, Shen Mochen could only curse in his mind.
Liu Chaoyan and Shen Mochen had played chess for half the day, Shen Mochen had both won and lost. But Liu Chaoyan lost in such a clever way that Shen Mochen almost forgot that her real chess ability was far superior to his own and he was distracted now and then, sneaking glances at her legs.
"Dinner time... Eh, Yanyan, where are you?"
As the evening deepened, Xia Qingrou knocked on the neighboring room of Liu Chaoyan's.
Liu Chaoyan smiled, put down the chess piece, "Let's go have dinner then, we can continue this game later."
The two walked out of Shen Mochen's room and happened to meet Xia Qingrou.
The three exchanged looks, Xia Qingrou paused for a moment, and Shen Mochen suddenly felt guilty, diverting his gaze.
Wait a minute, why am I panicking, I didn't do anything, just playing chess, feeling like I've cheated! Shen Mochen touched the wristband on his wrist.
Xia Qingrou squeezed out a smile on her face, "Yanyan... why are you in his room?"
