You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 445 - 430

After that, everything else was easy to guess: she'd been depressed for ten years, but in one day she'd raised her eyebrows and exhaled in triumph.

No wonder people say awakening is the fairest lottery, a ticket given by the heavens to everyone.

Shen Mochen munched on a melon absentmindedly and soon finished it.

The sky gradually darkened and a faint rumble of thunder could be heard as birds flew low, restlessly pecking at the electric wires.

At this moment, some noise came from the plank house, and Han's mother said with a smile, "Muxue has woken up, why don't you go see her?" freёnovelkiss.com

Shen Mochen nodded his head: he washed his hands beside the tap in the courtyard and went straight into the room, pulling open the door.

"Ah!"

Han Muxue looked at her phone, bleary-eyed, and jumped in fright when Shen Mochen suddenly appeared before her.

"What, am I that scary?" Shen Mochen laughed as he tied up his hair, "Or maybe you prefer it this way?"

"You, why are you here?" Han Muxue stammered, clutching her small quilt.

"Can't I come?" Shen Mochen chuckled and shrugged, "I've come to see you. It's been several days since I saw you; I missed you a little."

"What are you, what nonsense are you talking about…"

Perhaps it was because she had just woken up, Han Muxue's face was flushed red, like the clouds tinted at sunset.

"It's so cold…" Shen Mochen glanced at the air conditioner, sixteen degrees, "With such low temperature, it's easy to catch a cold."

Turning on the air conditioner to sixteen degrees while wrapping up in a quilt, her habits were really rough.

"… Anyway, you can cure it, right?"

Han Muxue was stubborn but still picked up the remote control to increase the temperature.

"Do you want the quilt?" Han Muxue offered the quilt from her body, her face twisted awkwardly.

"Hmm, it smells nice." Shen Mochen wrapped the quilt around himself and sniffed it shamelessly, laughing.

Han Muxue's face turned deep red like a persimmon, her hands trembling slightly, "You… freak…"

"Has no one ever told you that you smell really nice, like gardenias?" Shen Mochen said with a beaming smile.

"No." Han Muxue tried to keep a straight face but couldn't manage it, "When did you arrive?"

"I've been here for a while now, talked with your mom for a bit," Shen Mochen said.

"Oh…" Han Muxue's face changed slightly, "What did you talk about?"

"Nothing much, your mom asked about my family situation, how much money I have… nothing else really. Your mom even cut me some watermelon to eat; you have really sweet watermelons at your home."

Han Muxue's face showed embarrassment but she relaxed a bit. She didn't want Shen Mochen to come; she was afraid he would see how she really was.

Her past was all too shameful; she didn't want Shen Mochen to see her past insecurities, panic, fear, and worthlessness… She didn't want Shen Mochen to realize that beneath her pretentious facade, she was still the same timid cripple.

"Your room is pretty nice,"

Shen Mochen looked around; the plank room wasn't big, just about four or five square meters after all, built on the vacant land next to the kitchen with no room to spare. Besides the bed, there was only a small table, and not even a chair. However, there were many Magic Girl stickers on the walls, colorful and pretty.

"Oh…" Han Muxue responded coldly.

"Fangfang, Alice, Ilya, Kakusha, Feifei, Bai Yue…"

"You've seen all of them?"

Hearing Shen Mochen list off the names of the Magic Girls as if he were reading a menu, Han Muxue couldn't help but be stunned.

"Of course, I've seen Magic Girls, who hasn't?" Shen Mochen shrugged.

He had made it seem casual, but in reality, all of this was the result of him cramming over the past two days.

"And before that..."

"Did I ever say I don't watch? You never asked me!" Shen Mochen adopted a self-righteous tone again, "Who's your favorite character in there? I like the Magic Girl Kakusha the most—with her summoning rocket launchers to bombard the monsters, it's just so thrilling... but I think the villain is too pitiable. Such a tragic childhood and then to die in the end, I don't think that's a good conclusion!"

"Pitiable my ass!" Han Muxue couldn't help but blurt out, "Just because she had a rough time, does that mean she can just go around killing people? She killed so many, isn't death what she deserves? Just because she's dissatisfied with her life gives her the right to hurt others?"

"That's true, but..."

Shen Mochen deliberately argued with Han Muxue, and the two engaged in a fierce debate over the various Magic Girl plots. Although Han Muxue was feeling down, Shen Mochen kept provoking her on purpose, always able to precisely ignite the ire in her heart.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a clap of thunder interrupted their discussion, followed immediately by countless raindrops falling.

Thud-thud-thud...

The raindrops hit the boards, their sound instantly drowning out their voices, continuous and unending.

"The sound of the rain is so loud..." Shen Mochen couldn't help saying.

Han Muxue didn't speak, instead pulling her blanket closer around herself.

Shen Mochen smiled and drew Han Muxue into his embrace, both of them quietly listening to the rain.

Han Muxue snuggled against Shen Mochen's chest, quietly listening to his heartbeat. This place wasn't actually hers, but she couldn't resist the desire to freeze time at this moment.

To indulge in a moment of pleasure.

The summer rain came quickly and left just as fast. Before long, the rain had stopped, and the evening sunset emerged, a dull amber.

Shen Mochen opened the door, turned around, and smiled at Han Muxue, "Let's go out for a walk, I'll take you to a fun place."

...

"The fun place you mentioned is a KTV?"

Half an hour later, Han Muxue looked calmly at the building before her.

"Have you been here before?" Shen Mochen was a bit surprised.

"I have." Han Muxue glanced at Shen Mochen and then looked away.

Indeed, she had been there before. It was Liu Chaoyan who had taken her there to play—it was her first and only time at a KTV.

"It wasn't the captain who brought you here, was it?" Shen Mochen asked, tilting his head.

"Let's go."

Han Muxue didn't reply, but her eyes weren't as lifeless as before; they sparkled with a hint of excitement.

Shen Mochen and Han Muxue entered the KTV room, a place Han Muxue was not unfamiliar with.

This was the CBD district of Yu Huai City, locally known as Tianjie, or "Sky Street," touted as a place where it's "always a blaze of lights." The area they were in was the core of Sky Street, where there were very few pedestrians because it was full of high-end venues, whimsically said to be a place where even breathing came with a fee.

Shen Mochen had reserved a private room two days in advance. It was secluded and elegant, without other patrons around, making it suitable for Han Muxue to visit.

What surprised him was that Han Muxue seemed fairly familiar with this KTV, knowing all about the buttons and services, as if she had been here before... Shen Mochen hadn't been sure at first, but now he could confirm that the person who previously brought Han Muxue to the KTV must have been Liu Chaoyan.

Was it a place they had both wanted to visit together? A sense of defeat crept into Shen Mochen's heart, but he quickly adjusted his mindset. It didn't matter, as long as Han Muxue had fun today.

"You pick some songs first, I'm going to the restroom."

Saying this, Shen Mochen headed out the door towards the bathroom. However, around the corner, he saw several people he did not want to encounter.

Bad luck... Shen Mochen thought to himself.
