You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 280 - 271: Tianji Star, Lights Up

"Calm down a bit; my hand is about to break from your grip," Shen Mochen reminded her.

Xia Qingrou took deep breaths continuously until her trembling body finally calmed down.

Shen Mochen shook his hand, "I understand all that, but you mentioned that it was the girls who bullied you. Why are you blaming the boys?"

"If it wasn’t for them pestering me all the time, would I have had such a miserable time?" Xia Qingrou said angrily, "And they’re so disgusting, even more gossipy than women. When their confessions fail, they get angry out of embarrassment and spread bad rumors about me everywhere, making up scandalous gossip!"

"I see. I think I can somewhat understand what you went through," the sympathy was evident on Shen Mochen’s face.

Actually, Shen Mochen could somewhat guess Xia Qingrou’s pain just by imagining it a little, as Xia Yusi had talked to him about similar things.

But Xia Yusi wasn’t as angelically beautiful as Xia Qingrou, and Xia Qingrou was also soft-natured, not as defiant as Xia Yusi. Xia Qingrou’s academic performance wasn’t top-notch either; she lacked the halo of being a top student.

But human nature is such that the strong prey on the weak; the less Xia Qingrou dared to fight back, the more she was bullied.

Compared to her, Shen Mochen had a much better situation. The boys couldn’t beat him, and the girls couldn’t do any real harm to him, at most indirect and disgusting harassment.

As for rumors and scandalous gossip... well, for boys, being the subject of such gossip was often seen as a badge of honor, an area where they had it much better than girls.

And if he did encounter particularly annoying girls, if they weren’t too ugly, Shen Mochen would give in appropriately.

You all just fancy my body, right? There’s no way I’m going to be with any of you, so let’s settle for a kiss and get it over with. Kiss and scram, and don’t bother me again!

Of course, he couldn’t say this to Xia Qingrou. Aside from other reasons, Xia Qingrou always believed that Shen Mochen was her first kiss.

"Then I was kidnapped by two guys in class, they drugged me, and wanted to do that to me, but thankfully my sister and her friends arrived just in time..."

Xia Qingrou recalled the episode and shuddered, her lips trembling involuntarily while her eyes revealed intense disgust and fear.

"It’s all in the past now," Shen Mochen said as he wrapped his arm around her back, gently patting.

"Guys are so disgusting!" Xia Qingrou exclaimed hatefully.

"But I’m a guy too," Shen Mochen said with a smile.

Xia Qingrou hesitated for a moment, "That’s different, I feel, you’re the only one who isn’t disgusting."

Shen Mochen tilted his head, "Because of my face?"

"I didn’t think too much about it at first, just that you are Yuncui’s brother, and even if I’m not comfortable around guys, I should still be nice to you, and then see if I could seduce you a bit... I was ready to suppress the urge to vomit, but the moment I met you, I didn’t feel nauseated at all, and I almost thought you were a woman in disguise!"

"So, it’s still about the face, huh?"

A flash of embarrassed anger crossed Xia Qingrou’s face; she disliked Shen Mochen reducing her feelings to something so superficial, and she didn’t want him to think of her that way.

"I, even if initially there was a bit of that thought, but now, even if you were disfigured, I wouldn’t reject you!" Xia Qingrou’s face blushed slightly, she said stiffly.

Shen Mochen blinked, but he didn’t doubt the sincerity of her words. He didn’t believe it out of trust, but rather because he couldn’t be bothered to doubt. After all, it couldn’t be verified, and even if it could be, it wouldn’t matter.

"You find guys sleezy and have an allergy to them, yet you could do that with me," Shen Mochen grinned, with a teasing tone.

"Just think of it as being bumped by a pig!" Xia Qingrou’s face flushed red, and she glared at him indignantly.

Shen Mochen laughed out loud, "Have you ever seen a pig as good-looking as me?"

Xia Qingrou pouted and made a face, "So conceited..."

After pausing, Xia Qingrou stuttered again, "But, the things I just said, I just wanted to tell you, there’s a reason I became like this, and I might never be able to be around any other man but you for the rest of my life... it’s just such a coincidence, it’s only you... I might feel that you’re different from them, I don’t hate you!"

"So you are..." Shen Mochen intended to tease and ask if she liked him, but the words reached his lips and he forcefully swallowed them again.

Some things are better left a bit unclear. Some words, once spoken, leave no room for turning back.

"What am I?"

"I mean, you wear such ugly glasses every day to seal away your beauty, right?"

Xia Qingrou replied gruffly, "Yeah, what’s the problem with that? I’m not as showy as you!"

"Then your method is really too crude..." Shen Mochen chuckled as he touched his head, and his hair started to grow wildly, his bangs quickly covering most of his face.

"Hey, hey, hey, how did you do that!" Xia Qingrou’s eyes widened as she lifted Shen Mochen’s bangs to confirm that the face underneath was still Shen Mochen’s.

Shen Mochen said with a grin, "My superpower isn’t it supposed to accelerate healing? I’ve tried it over the past few days, it works on hair and nails too."

Xia Qingrou exclaimed in surprise, "Then like this, can you see clearly outside?"

"Actually, I can’t see very clearly... Do you have an elastic band? Let me use it."

Shen Mochen’s mouth twitched slightly as he spoke while lifting his bangs. The bangs were long before, but they had been trimmed and weren’t particularly thick, so he could barely see the outside world through the gaps. But now, his bangs were genuinely thick, almost completely blocking his vision.

Xia Qingrou, seeing Shen Mochen hold up his bangs while talking to her, couldn’t help but laugh. She pulled a small hair tie from her own hair and stuffed it into his hand, "You goof! It’s a good thing I tied my hair up today, or you’d have to hold up your bangs all the way home!"

"I’m doing this because I saw you had a hair tie."

"What if I didn’t give you one?"

"Then I’d just find a barber shop nearby..." Shen Mochen said as he tied up his long hair.

"Your new hairstyle is pretty handsome," Xia Qingrou examined him from top to bottom, her eyes gleaming, "This style makes you look more like a pretty boy!"

Shen Mochen said seriously, "Then I’ll cut it when I get back. I want to be a tough guy, not some effeminate pretty boy."

Big brother, take a look at your face, where does it have the elements of a tough guy!

Xia Qingrou couldn’t help wanting to laugh, and she tugged at Shen Mochen, her tone unintentionally coquettish, "Don’t be like that, you look so good, let me admire it for a few more days!"

"It’s not like it’s impossible..." Shen Mochen scratched his head and grinned, "What’s in it for me?"

He was joking with Xia Qingrou, talking to her made him feel much better. A hairstyle was a trivial matter; although long hair would be more of a hassle to wash, it wasn’t a big problem.

But suddenly, Xia Qingrou reached out to hook Shen Mochen’s neck, tiptoed slightly, and deeply kissed his lips.

This was their first deep kiss, although Xia Qingrou only took a brief taste, Shen Mochen’s mouth and tongue were already filled with the sweet citrus flavor.

Releasing Shen Mochen, Xia Qingrou’s face flushed as she spoke fiercely and stutteringly, "Don’t... get the wrong idea... I don’t like you... It’s just, a benefit for you... Anyway, you’ve got your benefit, and you’re not allowed to say I’m taking advantage of you anymore!"

She sneakily gauged Shen Mochen’s reaction, only to see his face rapidly shift from dumbfounded to an uncontrollable joy.

Humph, always putting on airs, and now isn’t he happy as a clam!

Xia Qingrou lowered her head, a smile creeping across her face. She touched her lips, feeling a tingle on her tongue.

"Great!" Shen Mochen opened his arms wide and hugged Xia Qingrou fiercely.

"You goof, what are you doing, there should be no intimacy between men and women, you’re just an ex-boyfriend, you’re taking advantage of me!" Xia Qingrou grumbled, wriggling her waist in a token struggle.

Shen Mochen didn’t listen to Xia Qingrou’s words; all he knew was that the third Tianji Star, which had been dormant for so long, had lit up.
