Chapter 72: Fuzi's Invitation
"Good morning, class president!"
Liu Bo energetically greeted Catherine.
"Um, good morning." Catherine smiled slightly.
Liu Bo's chubby face was flushed with honor, no matter how many times it happened.
How embarrassing! You're such a simp; no girl likes that kind of guy!
Shen Mochen watched Liu Bo's expression and sighed inwardly.
"Rumors seemed to have increased yesterday, I saw discussions about it on the forum. Be careful. Haven't you been hanging out with Princess these past few days? If you're on good terms with her, maybe you could ask her to speak up for you."
Shen Mochen quickly received a text from Liu Bo and smiled as he replied:
"It's okay, they're just rumors, nothing serious."
Liu Bo glanced back at him and didn't say anything more. Shen Mochen was always cunning, who knew what he was really thinking. He probably wouldn't suffer too much.
Shen Mochen put away his phone and yawned; he hadn't slept well last night and felt quite drowsy this morning. Catherine also looked lazy and disheveled, and her condition hadn't been great these last few days.
Should he strike up a conversation with her?
Shen Mochen hesitated for a moment and decided against it. Although he thought Catherine was a great person, it would be better to become good friends after they broke up.
For those serious about their studies, class time flew by in the blink of an eye. Shen Mochen packed his things and headed to the cafeteria alone for lunch.
Along the way, he heard people whispering about him but didn't react. When ordering his food, he saw Liu Bo with some boys from his class, but he didn't go over to say hello. They pretended not to see each other and passed by.
"There's a sports class this afternoon, yay!"
"Since when do you like sports class?"
"It's not the sports class he likes; it's Teacher Cai!"
"What's wrong with that? I'm being honest; I deserve praise!"
"Teacher Cai's figure is amazing, her chest is even bigger than Princess's, and her behind is so perky, ah, I really want to..."
"She said last time she doesn't accept teacher-student relationships, I'll pursue her after I graduate!"
"You think it will be your turn? Some are already making their presence felt by sending her gifts every day. Those male teachers are crazy, the gifts they send pile up like a mountain!"
"Pfft, she's a Superpower User. If you upset her, she might hang you up and beat you within minutes!"
"Teacher Cai is so gentle, how could she bear to hit me? Or perhaps she'd smother me with her big thighs!"

"Never seen the world, huh? Want daddy to take you to a nice place over the weekend to have some fun?"
"Gentle Paradise? A top technician costs thirty-eight thousand a night, been there already. It's boring, can't compare to Teacher Cai, and there are fake goods pretending to be genuine..."
A few boys from the class were discussing in whispers. Shen Mochen frowned and walked to a distant empty seat.
Not long after, Catherine came and sat down with a few girls not far from Shen Mochen.
"Kaja, you've been looking pretty out of it lately, are you feeling unwell?"
"It might be, a bit of a cold."
"Even with your strong body, you've caught a cold, do take care to keep warm!"
"Um, got it."
Still claims to hate liars, but she's also fond of fibbing. Shen Mochen rubbed his neck, searching high and low for Fuzi's hiding place.
He didn't know where Fuzi was hiding, but he had felt her murderous aura these last two days.
"Hey..."
A faint voice entered Shen Mochen's ears.
Shen Mochen jumped, looking around, but saw no one.
"Stop looking, I'm far from you..." Fuzi's faint voice rang out again, "Come to Fengxiang Building after you finish your meal, I need to talk to you."
Shen Mochen felt like he had seen a ghost, tremblingly, "What are you talking about?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't."
"..."
Your superpower should just be about enhancing guns and slingshots, right? What's going on here? This shouldn't be your superpower either, right? Can a normal person do this?
Shen Mochen had countless complaints in his heart, but he ultimately swallowed them.
As Fuzi said, don't ask what you shouldn't, sometimes knowing too much is not good.
After quickly finishing lunch, Shen Mochen, under Catherine's slightly surprised gaze, slipped away to Fengxiang Building.
"You're actually a good person."
Fuzi stood under a tree and said faintly.
?
What are you talking about?
Shen Mochen was stunned, your words sound like you're giving me a "good guy" card.
"Um...uh, is there something you need?"
"Actually, there's nothing special, just wanted to have a chat with you."
Big sister, are we that familiar that you want to have a chat with me?
Fuzi gestured for him to sit on a bench: "I've actually seen your records, you're an orphan, right?"
Shen Mochen sat down warily, "Actually, I still have a mother, she's still alive."
"That's why I really hate people like you, sly and dishonest. I obviously know your mother is still alive, but you don't think that way in your heart, you don't need to pretend with me, I've investigated everything about you, everything that can be investigated."
"…Okay, my parents are dead, continue."
"The owner is the same; he has parents, but their relationship is very bad, you should know some things."
"I kind of know…is it like everyone doing their own thing outside?"
Fuzi was silent for a while, then sat beside Shen Mochen. Shen Mochen shifted a bit to keep some distance; he was too handsome to be taken advantage of easily.
"But you have relatives, the owner doesn't," Fuzi hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "the owner is actually a little girl."
Shen Mochen instinctively retorted, "What little girl, she's clearly a little queen."
Fuzi nodded, not caring about Shen Mochen's objection at all, "Now, listen carefully to what I'm about to say. These past few days, the owner has not been in a good mood, mainly because of some family matters, and also because you've made her angry."
"Hold on, hold on, I don't remember deliberately making her angry, and I wouldn't dare to!"
"The owner is precocious, but sometimes her heart is a stubborn and willful little girl. She always wants to do her best to prove herself, that even without parents, even alone, she can still live well."
Fuzi didn't listen to what Shen Mochen was saying and continued on her own, although, in Shen Mochen's eyes, it made no sense.
"Actually, she's a lonely child."
Shen Mochen shook his head, "Why are you telling me all of this?"
"Regardless, you are now the owner's boyfriend. Since the owner is not in a good mood now, I hope you can cheer her up."
"I feel this might be a bit difficult…"
"If you succeed in making the owner happy, I owe you a favor." Fuzi took a gun from her bosom, "If you fail…"
"Bang." Fuzi gently gestured.
Shen Mochen wore a mournful expression, "Hey, hey, isn't that a bit too much? If I fail, you're going to kill me?"
"You know the owner's secret now. If you are of no value to the owner, I can't keep you around anymore."
"This secret was something you told me willingly, not something I wanted to hear!"
Besides, what kind of secret is that? You secretly investigate me, tearing me apart from head to toe, and I haven't even said anything!
