You are all bad women! Don't come over!

Shen Mochen chuckled with his head down, "It's not hard at all. You've stayed at Buque too, you know, all we do is eat and sleep every day."

Cai Yuncui puffed out her chest, "Hehe, I was also in charge of washing clothes and cooking, not just eating and sleeping all day!"

Shen Mochen, with a rib in his mouth, mumbled vaguely, "Mmm, then I must have missed the good times."

"Now Qingrou also cooks every day."

"But it's not as delicious as when you make it!"

"No one is born able to cook well, I only got good at it after a long time of practice!"

Shen Mochen hummed softly, focusing on eating, "You should eat too, don't just watch me eat alone."

Cai Yuncui gazed at Shen Mochen with a beaming smile, her eyes filled with stars, "Don't mind me, I feel so happy just watching you enjoy it so much!"

"Here, have some beef!" Shen Mochen picked up a piece of beef and held it to her mouth.

"Ah—" Cai Yuncui smiled sweetly, gathered her hair at her cheeks, and carefully opened her mouth.

"Hehe, no wonder it's delicious, I made it after all."

Cai Yuncui chewed the beef happily, the shine of the oil on her lips giving off a tempting luster.

Shen Mochen suddenly felt an inexplicable stir in his heart, "This way, it's like an indirect kiss, isn't it?"

"Eh... cough cough cough, cough cough cough..."

Cai Yuncui was first stunned, then she began coughing violently.

"Be careful, why are you choking." Shen Mochen, concerned, quickly got up and gently patted Cai Yuncui's back, "You're too easy to tease, Sister Cai."

It took Cai Yuncui a good while to recover. She bent over, her mouth slightly open, gasping for air, her chest heaving.

"Drink some soup to soothe it down." Shen Mochen ladled her a bowl of vegetable soup, blew on it to cool it down, then passed it to Cai Yuncui.

Cai Yuncui, her face red, took the vegetable soup and guzzled it down, finishing it quickly.

"No more nonsense from you in the future, heard me!" Cai Yuncui pretended to be angry as she pulled on Shen Mochen's face, "It wouldn't be good if others heard it..."

"Who wouldn't it be good for if they heard?" Shen Mochen asked back.

Cai Yuncui opened her mouth but was at a loss for words. Her first thought was of course it wouldn't be good if a girlfriend heard it, but it seemed like Shen Mochen had broken up with Xia Qingrou again...

"We are like siblings, it's not good if others hear this kind of joke," Cai Yuncui said with some difficulty, her face still red.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell fewer of these jokes in the future."

"It's not about telling fewer of these jokes; you're not supposed to tell them at all!" Cai Yuncui fumed, "You really deserve the title of top playboy... Do you know that you're currently the top of the school's playboy list?"

Shen Mochen tilted his head, his face showing indignation, "I know, it's so unfair. I'm completely innocent, all the rumors about me are completely unfounded!"

Cai Yuncui snickered, feigning seriousness, "I used to think so too, but now it seems you truly earned that reputation!"

"How can you say that too, Sister Cai? I'm so sad, so upset..."

"Alright, enough talk, the food is getting cold. Let's finish eating and then we can talk. Actually, I have something serious to ask you about!"

Shen Mochen blinked, "Do you still want me to feed you?"

Cai Yuncui hurriedly picked up a piece of green vegetable and stuffed it into her mouth, "No need, I can eat by myself!"

The two quickly finished lunch, and Cai Yuncui went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, while Shen Mochen lay on the sofa, waiting for the eventual inquisition.

"Xiaochen, sit properly, I have something to tell you!" Cai Yuncui untied her apron and came over.

"Okay, okay, please ask away!" Shen Mochen immediately sat up straight, adopting the earnest demeanor of a good, studious student.

Cai Yuncui sat next to Shen Mochen, her face stern, "Why did you and Qingrou suddenly break up?"

The inevitable was always bound to happen; Shen Mochen was well aware of this.

"What did she tell you?" Shen Mochen counter-asked.

"Qingrou said you lied to her and also said you can't forget your ex-girlfriend."

Shen Mochen nodded, "What she said is true, it's correct, I am indeed like that."

Cai Yuncui was a bit surprised by Shen Mochen's frankness; she thought he was a good kid, and there should have been some misunderstanding. She did not expect him to affirm this claim so directly.

"The ex-girlfriend you can't forget about..." Cai Yuncui pursed her lips, thinking of Yin Huailian.

The ex-girlfriend should refer to Yin Huailian, the girl who died due to their mistake.

If it were Yin Huailian, then Cai Yuncui really had no place to criticize Shen Mochen.

"I just feel, very strange..." said Cai Yuncui.

She felt that she might be one of the few who knew the whole story, so she always had doubts in her mind.

That day, Xia Qingrou had left her house in good spirits. However, that evening she returned to the dormitory without saying goodbye.

Although Xia Qingrou mentioned that she left in a hurry after learning the truth from Catherine's mouth at the hospital, so overwhelmed by anger that she left without saying goodbye to Cai Yuncui.

But something else happened that day, and that was Han Muxue coming to Cai Yuncui in tears. It turned out she also liked Shen Mochen, and watching the loving scenes between him and Xia Qingrou every day was so painful.

That's why Cai Yuncui felt unsure; she vaguely worried that Xia Qingrou knew about this.

"What's so strange about it, just getting dumped, isn't it normal in love? Having arguments and breaking up is quite common nowadays," Shen Mochen said nonchalantly, staring at Cai Yuncui, "Sister Cai, don't worry! Or rather, what are you thinking now?"

Cai Yuncui felt put on the spot, her heart momentarily flurried.

Her feelings were complicated, as Xia Qingrou's good sister, of course, she hoped the other party would be happy; as Shen Mochen's sister, she also thought the two of them were very suitable.

But she knew how much pain this relationship brought to Han Muxue, so she didn't really want the relationship to continue... but she also didn't want Shen Mochen and Xia Qingrou to become unhappy because of it.

She couldn't even understand her own feelings.

Moreover, if she didn't consider others, what were Cai Yuncui's own feelings?

Cai Yuncui felt ashamed because upon hearing the news of their breakup, her first feeling was actually one of relief—and this sense of relief was not just because of Han Muxue.

In the midst of shock and unease, she also felt a tiny bit of schadenfreude. Her brother, who had been taken from her, was back.

He had never left; everything was the same as before, except for dating Xia Qingrou. So why did her heart always feel twisted?

"I... don't have any thoughts really, just concerned... just think that you broke up too quickly... just concerned..."

Cai Yuncui slowly turned her face away; actually, if that were all, it would be the best outcome. They merely broke up as ordinary people, and no one would be hurt, nor feel sad because of it.
