You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 56 - 54: Are You the Mysterious Young Man?

The morning classes had ended, and Liu Bo draped his arm over Shen Mochen’s shoulder, lounging about, "What’s for lunch today?"

Shen Mochen took out his meal card, "Don’t care, let’s go to the cafeteria and see what they have today."

Yesterday, Liu Bo seemed a bit evasive towards him, but today things had finally returned to normal. After all, yesterday there was a subtle atmosphere of isolating Shen Mochen in class, and Liu Bo dared not go against the group’s sentiment and could only grumble to him through text. But now that Gao Le had become the villain, that trend of isolating Shen Mochen had vanished into thin air.

The two of them arrived at the cafeteria, ordered some food at random, and found an empty seat to sit down. Then, Catherine sauntered over and sat down at the table next to them, surrounded by a few girls.

Shen Mochen glanced over, and Catherine blinked at him.

Liu Bo turned his head, spotted Catherine, and immediately smiled obsequiously, raising his hand, "Good afternoon, Princess."

"Hi, you guys," Catherine responded with a smile.

Liu Bo touched his chubby face, turned around and whispered to Shen Mochen with a mysterious air, "I’ve uncovered a secret."

Shen Mochen shifted his gaze back, unenthusiastically, "What secret?"

Liu Bo said solemnly, "I’m starting to seriously suspect that the Princess might like me!"

"Pfft!"

Shen Mochen, who was sipping soup, almost sprayed it all over Liu Bo’s face.

"What are you doing… That’s disgusting!"

Liu Bo disgustedly moved his plate away.

Shen Mochen struggled to hold back a laugh, "Sorry, sorry, but what makes you think that?"

"Don’t you notice how warm the Princess has been to me recently? She always smiles at me and greets me, you know!"

"...Ah, right, right, right," Shen Mochen nodded.

Liu Bo tugged at Shen Mochen’s sleeve, "Hey, you think... the Princess couldn’t really fancy me, could she? Although I think it’s unlikely... but you never know, right?... She might not be someone who judges by appearances..."

Shen Mochen deadpanned while picking up a lamb chop from Liu Bo’s plate, "I think it’s quite likely too, but to be worthy of Her Highness, you might do better to slim down a bit, so I’ll take care of these fats and calories for you!"

"Shen Mochen you bastard, that’s my lamb chop..."

The two of them joked and laughed. Because Catherine was sitting not far away, Liu Bo ate his meal with utmost delicacy, so much so that even after the girls had nearly finished eating, his plate was still half full.

"Kaja!" Zhao Yuji came over after finishing his meal, smiling and waving to Catherine, "Your father visited my family a few days ago, and he’s considering agreeing to be my godfather and baptize me."

"So you really believe in the Tianzheng Church?" Catherine raised an eyebrow.

Zhao Yuji nodded with a smile, "Yes, I’m fully prepared to embrace the teachings and salvation of the Lord."

The Tianzheng Church was the state religion of the Roman Empire and had considerable influence worldwide, with a substantial number of converts even in the Yupi Country.

A girl nearby laughed, "That’s incredible. I heard the Tianzheng Church has strict rules; you’re gonna suffer for sure!"

"Haha, it’s all to draw closer to the Lord," Zhao Yuji said with a gentle smile. "Kaja, I might have my conversion ceremony next month. Would you come and attend?"

"I’ll see how it goes; if I have time, I’ll come," Catherine smiled.

Zhao Yuji nodded, "All right, I’ll prepare invitations for a few classmates in the next few days, and then I’ll invite everyone to grace us with their presence."

After that, Zhao Yuji didn’t linger, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and turned to leave. As he left, he smiled and greeted Shen Mochen.

"He really lives up to being the successor of the Zhao Family, so high in EQ."

"Zhao Yuji is so handsome; he could even be a star!"

"He’s also polite, never putting on airs..."

"And his grades aren’t bad either, always in the top three or five."

After Zhao Yuji left, the girls behind him commented on his performance, which he seemed to hear, as the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

At that moment, one of the girls asked with a laugh, "Kaja, what do you think of Zhao Yuji?"

Catherine glanced at Shen Mochen not far away, "He’s average. I like guys who are better than him."

The crowd was puzzled, "Is there anyone in our school better than Zhao Yuji?"

Catherine’s lips curved into a meaningful smile, "Weren’t you just talking about some mysterious youth before?"

"Hahaha, the mysterious youth is just a legend!"

"I think the mysterious youth might actually be Zhao Yuji. It’s possible that person was dazzled and didn’t recognize him."

"Actually, I’ve always felt the same way, but the legendary mysterious youth should be better looking, right?"

"Legends, legends. When you pass them on, they change flavor!"

"You have a point, where in the world is there someone that good-looking? Must be a god or an alien, right!"

"Hahaha, lately people have really been saying that!"

"..."

As Liu Bo ate, he listened to the girls’ casual conversation, giving Shen Mochen a weird look, and whispered, "That mysterious youth, could it be..."

Shen Mochen cut him off indifferently, "Eat your food, I need to go back to read."

"Oh..." Liu Bo buried his head in his food, then suddenly sighed, "Ah, although we’re both human, the gap between me and Zhao Yuji is too big. I’m so envious of him!"

"Your family is also doing quite well now."

"It’s okay compared to ordinary people, but compared to him, I’m nothing. Do you know who his family is?"

"Something like a noble family?"

Envy and jealousy showed on Liu Bo’s face, "The Zhao Family, a Family! Do you know what a Family is? They were nobles ever since when the Emperor of Yupi was still around! Their heritage spans hundreds of years! The nobility of nobles; they have legacy, foundation, culture! To them, money is like dirt, they value upbringing and substance even more, they’re born with elegance!"

Shen Mochen chuckled, "What nobility, they’re just oppressors who have exploited the people generation after generation."

Liu Bo was startled, "What did you say?"

"...Nothing."

"Don’t act like that, this resentment towards the wealthy isn’t good."

Shen Mochen nodded, "Yep, yep, yep, I was just talking nonsense."

It seemed he really had been influenced by those dreams, what with all this rhetoric about the world belonging to the public, overthrowing all feudal landlords, and how workers are the creators of wealth. Here, that’s all seen as resentment towards the rich and the noble!

"Come to the library later."

Shen Mochen suddenly received a text from "Old Ye."

He looked up at Catherine, but she wasn’t looking at him and stood up to leave with her friends.

...

The school library was quiet in the afternoon. After eating, Shen Mochen tiptoed up to a row of study desks where only one person sat.

"You’re here."

He smiled, his pale golden hair shining like sunlight.

Shen Mochen said warily, "What are you doing here at noon?"

"Studying."

"Why not go to your class or the study room?"

"Because it’s just me here, very quiet."

Shen Mochen looked around, "Right, why isn’t anyone else here?"

Catherine beckoned to him, "Because the library is closed at noon, I got the key from a teacher. Sit down, I won’t eat you."

It’s not like I would say...

"You can come here to study in the future. There are lots of great reference materials."

"Okay, thank you, thank you."

Shen Mochen hurried over to the bookshelves to find a book he liked.

Catherine glanced down at her book and said nonchalantly, "By the way, that mysterious youth that’s been talked about for so long, is it you?"
