Chapter 526 (2/5)
Shen Mochen had to return to school, so after getting home, he contacted Han Muxue to say that he would be back at the base two days later and then reported his recent itinerary to General Yan.
Not long after, Catherine emerged from the bath, wearing a loose white shirt that made her look like a flawless Angel descending to the mortal world.
Her light golden hair cascaded down, clinging to the moisture on her body, adding a layer of hazy beauty. Shen Mochen's loose clothing couldn't completely hide her perfect figure, the subtle reveal of her curves was tantalizingly sexy.
"What are you looking at?" Catherine seemed completely unaware of her allure to men, bending over to pick up the book in Shen Mochen's hand, her hair brushing against his chest, tickling his heart unbearably.
"Hmm... what's this?" Catherine flipped through a few pages, then frowned displeasingly, "What book is this?"
"It's an internal reader from Jishi Association, Kajiena. I have only one lifetime request!"
"No."
Before Shen Mochen could finish, Catherine flatly rejected him.
"I haven't even said it yet!"
"I don't want my first time to be here..."
Having been seductively teased by Catherine for several nights, Shen Mochen could hardly wait anymore, "Then where would you like it?"
Catherine cracked a sly and excited smile, her hand caressing Shen Mochen's face, "In Yin Caiyu's hospital room. If you truly desire me, we can do it in front of her bed..."
Even Shen Mochen was shocked by Catherine's twisted idea, Isn't this fetish a bit too strange? Does it have to be this cruel?
"But, but this is too abrupt, what if she wakes up later..." Shen Mochen stuttered.
"Isn't she unconscious?" Catherine shrugged indifferently.
"But... this isn't right..." Shen Mochen's face fell.
If they really did it, he'd be exhilarated, but what was the difference between him and a beast then?
"Alright, the truth is," Catherine pressed against Shen Mochen, "I'm just jealous of her. When I think about the long bond between the two of you, I get insanely envious. I can't stand it. Why aren't those experiences and memories mine?"
"But, but we still have a future... We can't change the past, but we can create a future!" Shen Mochen felt the heavy pressure on his chest quicken his breathing.
"You're right, but I feel that I can never catch up to the experiences you had together... It's too cheeky, those two who sneaked away early are despicable! It's okay if Yin Huailian is dead, but Yin Caiyu is still alive. If I can't thoroughly humiliate her, how am I to vent this spite?"
Catherine kissed Shen Mochen's mouth, then gently licked his earlobe, whispering in his ear like a breeze.
"You must be suffering too, don't you want all of me? My body, my chastity, my everything... My dear..."
Shen Mochen was utterly seduced by Catherine, the delicate fragrance of the young girl filling his nostrils, making him want to pin down this fairy-like Angel on the spot. He would agree to any condition, even if it meant his life afterward.
However, even as his rationality almost completely disappeared, there was still a voice inside him saying, "No... no..."
"No, no, no, that's not okay..."
In his delirium, Shen Mochen instinctively voiced his refusal.
Catherine moved away from Shen Mochen's body disappointedly, biting her lip, "Even in this situation, you can refuse me, now I'm even more jealous of her!"
Shen Mochen regained a bit of rationality, licking his lips, his eyes red, "Can't we make another request..."
"Sure!" Catherine huffily lifted the hem of her shirt, saying coldly, "I can do it with my feet, but first you have to satisfy me!"
...
Approaching noon, Shen Mochen brushed his teeth languidly. Last night had been too decadent, and he was feeling a little backache. He could have healed, but Catherine wouldn't let him, which he suspected might be a form of retaliation.
"Brushing so thoroughly, are you disgusted?"
Catherine floated behind Shen Mochen, her spirits also low, looking just as sleep-deprived as him.
"Just brushing my teeth as usual... we're about to eat." Shen Mochen finished rinsing his mouth and grabbed a towel to wash his face.
Catherine coldly picked up the toothbrush Shen Mochen had just used, squeezed some toothpaste on it, "It's not comfortable at all, I feel like I drew the short straw, my calves even cramped up."
"How many times do you think I wiped my face last night?"
"Surely not as many times as I wiped my feet!"
"I almost got my neck snapped by you, and I haven't even mentioned it!"
"Well, it's not broken yet, is it? If it were, I'd die of a broken heart for you!"
The two bantered while Shen Mochen cooked. Fortunately, he had bought some groceries on his way back last night, and the meal he prepared was tantalizing in both taste and aroma.
After the meal, Shen Mochen and Catherine sat across from each other at the dining table.
"Want to go out and have fun?" Shen Mochen asked.
"Up to you, if you want to go, I can accompany you," said Catherine.
"..."
"..."
"Alright, I'm too tired, I want to go back to bed and rest." Shen Mochen gave in.
"Then let's just go back to bed and rest, I don't feel like going out alone either," Catherine said.
Is this really the time to play hard to get? Shen Mochen was speechless.
"Should I 'heal' you then?"
"Rather than being a god without any pain or joy, I'd prefer to be a mortal."
Catherine stood up and returned to her room; Shen Mochen hesitated for a moment before following her.
That afternoon, the two dozed off again, watched a movie in the evening, Shen Mochen cooked, and they continued sleeping into the night.
"Mmm..." Shen Mochen stretched lazily, the sunlight shining brightly outside the window.
Catherine nestled in his arms like a sleeping dreamer. Shen Mochen patted her butt, "Time to get up, aren't we going back to school today?"
Catherine slowly opened her eyes, and even after sleeping all day yesterday, she still felt a bit sore in her back.
"What time is it?" Catherine kissed the corner of Shen Mochen's mouth and asked lazily.
"Eight-forty, everyone else is already in class," Shen Mochen said. "What time did you tell Mr. Xun you'd arrive?"
"…Nine o'clock."
"…Is that nine o'clock in the evening?"
"What do you think?"
""
The two raced against the clock to brush their teeth and wash up, and Shen Mochen took the opportunity to send a text to Mr. Xun saying they would be a bit late.
"I have never had a record of being late when I was in school!" Catherine, looking at the mirror, used both hands to quickly smooth out her somewhat messy hair with water.
"Same here, why didn't you set an alarm?"
"I thought I wouldn't be late, we went to sleep so early last night!"
"Why did you have to step on me in the middle of the night then!"
"What else could I do, you held me so tight, that thing of yours was pressing there all the time, I couldn't even sleep properly!"
