Chapter 113 (2-in-1)
"Kaja, wait a minute!" You Feicheng called after her in a soft voice.
"What's it?" Catherine glanced at her indifferently.
"You're just leaving like this?"
Catherine didn't answer; instead, she looked at her with a strange expression, as if she couldn't understand what she meant.
You Feicheng was also taken aback. "Isn't Shen Mochen your boyfriend?"
Catherine nodded. "By definition, that's true."
"So why are you leaving now?"
"The stage play needs rehearsal."
You Feicheng was stupefied. That makes too much sense!
But do you know what the situation is like now? So many people are watching eagerly from the sidelines. You're not even staying to claim your territory, just walking away. Won't they try to snatch Shen Mochen away from you?
However, Catherine seemed not to care at all, showing no reaction as if she had no connection with Shen Mochen – just an actress he pulled in temporarily to save the situation.
Was this because she was overly confident in herself, or was it because their relationship already had cracks?
You Feicheng wanted to know but couldn't bring herself to ask.
"No wonder Shen Mochen didn't accept Gu Yange's confession; he was with you already!" You Feicheng said.
"No, we started dating after that," Catherine replied.
"Then..."
"I know what you're thinking, it's okay, please don't mind me."
You Feicheng blinked blankly. What was she talking about? This thought process seemed a bit disjointed. Was it what she understood? What are you saying?
"What do you mean?"
"If you like him, you can pursue him. Even if you succeed, I won't mind."
You're really saying that!
Was she so confident in herself that she didn't think anyone could take him away from her? Yet, her face showed a lonely expression, clearly that of a common girl pouting.
"Did you two... have a fight?" You Feicheng felt a small surge of excitement at the thought.
"I actually look forward to him having that courage," Catherine hummed lightly.
...
"There's nothing to see here, everyone tidy up the class, we haven't even set up the board games yet."
In the classroom, Shen Mochen smiled helplessly, trying to calm everyone down.
But their curiosity and anticipation had been piqued, and they were very restless with Shen Mochen's "playing the lute behind a veil" attitude.
"Shen Mochen, you can't go back on your word. The class president said it was okay!"
"Yeah, Shen Mochen, we're all classmates. Keeping secrets from us is really disappointing."
"You're not ugly; hiding your face every day must be so uncomfortable!"
"Let me see. Be good, let me see!"
Everyone urged insistently, desperately curious. If it were any ordinary day, they would have already taken action, but the Shen Mochen they faced now was not the invisible man they used to ignore; he was the super handsome guy who had just been wronged, and no one wanted to be the first to upset him.
Shen Mochen hesitated, "Actually, there's nothing special, you all are so excited it's making me embarrassed..."
"We're not excited, not at all!"
Everyone instantly quieted down, their eyes fixed on him.
"Then, after showing you, let's get on with our tasks and quickly set up the class, let's not delay everyone's time because of me," Shen Mochen added.
"No problem!" Everyone readily agreed.
Their current feeling was like a boy in front of his innocent girlfriend. She finally agreed to give herself to him, but got shy at the last minute, raising all kinds of little conditions. The boy, frantic with eagerness, could say anything, devoid of any reasoning, thinking only of getting her undressed as quickly as possible.
"Alright, can someone give me a rubber band?" Shen Mochen asked. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
"Use mine, use mine!"
"Use mine!"
"Mine is better!"
Shen Mochen's mouth twitched slightly, looking at several hands stretching towards him, he randomly picked one. In front of everyone, he... no, not undressed, but revealed his face.
"Look, it's nothing special, I'm just a normal person..." Shen Mochen said slowly.
"Ah!!!"
"So handsome!"
"Are you an angel?"
Numerous girls instantly went crazy, screaming at the sight of Shen Mochen.
"I knew it would turn out like this..." Shen Mochen scratched his head, pulled down the hair tie, and returned it.
"No, no, why take it off?"
"Just tie it up like that!"
"We won't scream, tie your hair up again!"
Another wave of cries.
"It's just like how big stars are treated..."
Liu Bo muttered enviously; to think that he managed to market himself so successfully.
He didn't believe the sly Shen Mochen would have such a helpless look on his face. Since he decided to reveal his secret, he must have been prepared. It was not possible to feel uncomfortable due to onlookers. This was intentional self-marketing!
"Damn it..."
Even though Liu Bo cursed under his breath, he breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Mochen's issue had been perfectly resolved.
It's just that the Princess seemed unhappy when she left. But Shen Mochen should be able to cheer her up, right?
"I'm sorry, Shen Mochen, I have to apologize to you!" Suddenly, a girl bowed at a ninety-degree angle to Shen Mochen, "I didn't believe you at first and misunderstood you! I'm really sorry. You were angry with us, that's why you did this, wasn't it?"
The scene instantly quieted down, no matter how they would overturn the situation against Gao Le and the others later, it couldn't hide the fact that most of them were critical of Shen Mochen from the beginning.
