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

"What teddy bear?" Shen Mochen's expression remained unchanged as he glanced at Xia Qingrou and bowed his head to wash the dishes.

"Don't pretend!" Xia Qingrou reached out and pinched Shen Mochen's waist, "I've talked to you about it before, the teddy bear she always wears around her neck, remember?"

Shen Mochen's face lit up with realization, "You're talking about that? What about it?"

Xia Qingrou puffed her cheeks in dissatisfaction, "I'm asking you if you know about her teddy bear, don't lie to me!"

"I don't remember that teddy bear. What are you asking about it for?"

Shen Mochen played dumb on his face but took the most advantageous way of responding.

He really didn't remember the teddy bear, so he was not lying.

"Really?" Xia Qingrou asked.

"Why would I lie to you? Right, why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Shen Mochen finished washing the dishes and put them into the sterilizer, without looking back.

"It's... nothing." Xia Qingrou's expression dodged, and she indeed didn't dare to continue.

She thought it was better not to tell Shen Mochen that Han Muxue had a crush on him.

It was for the sake of Han Muxue, and just in case... just in case Shen Mochen also took a liking to the other party.

Even though Han Muxue was physically challenged, she was still an extremely cute girl. What if he extended his devil's claws toward Han Muxue after finding out!

This scumbag, he's capable of anything!

"If it's nothing, why did you suddenly start asking about this?" Shen Mochen turned his head and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Upon seeing this, Xia Qingrou also got tangled up. With his innocent look, could it be that it really had nothing to do with him? Perhaps the teddy bear on Xuexue's neck didn't have any special meaning?

"It's nothing, just a casual question!" Xia Qingrou quickly changed the subject and said softly, "Hey, don't you think Xuexue has changed a bit these past few days?"

"Where has she changed?" Shen Mochen remained unmoved.

"Just... she's become gentler!"

"Really? I hadn't noticed."

Xia Qingrou ground her teeth, "That's what I'm saying, you men are so inattentive!"

Shen Mochen said nonchalantly, "If she's become gentler, that's a good thing, isn't it? Is it better for her to have been foul-mouthed like before?"

"Well... that's one way to put it." Xia Qingrou puckered her lips, her tone somewhat inexplicable, "But... don't you find it strange?"

"Strange in what way?"

Xia Qingrou huffed, "I mean, she suddenly became gentle! Don't you think that's odd? Can someone suddenly change their temperament like that?"

Shen Mochen still looked unconcerned, "That's normal too, right? Maybe she also realized that her previous behavior wasn't good and wanted to change."

"You're such an idiot, such a fool!" Xia Qingrou lightly twisted Shen Mochen's ear, "There has to be a reason for her change, doesn't there? You don't just change overnight, do you?"

"If you want to know, go ask her. Talking to me is useless. Aren't you two close?" Shen Mochen shrugged his shoulders.

"But..." Xia Qingrou's mouth turned down in displeasure, "Even if I asked her, she won't tell me. Xuexue is so stubborn."

Shen Mochen spread his hands, "Then there's no use telling me either. If she won't tell you, she definitely won't tell me."

Xia Qingrou fell into thought. She could sense that Han Muxue seemed to be in a good mood but was somehow a little distant from her... 'Distant' might not be the precise word; it felt like she was avoiding her unilaterally.

What in the world had happened? Xia Qingrou felt some inner conflict. It seemed like the other person wasn't angry but rather seemed guilty... as if she had done something to let herself down!

Could it be that she knew the reason why she and Shen Mochen broke up? Could it be she knew that she had eavesdropped on the two of them at Cai Yuncui's door that day?

But, given her temperament, if she really knew about it, shouldn't she have come over to scold herself?

Hmm... I really can't figure it out!

Xia Qingrou shook her head. Oh well, it should be fine in a couple of days!

"You keep washing the dishes, I'm off!" Xia Qingrou patted Shen Mochen's shoulder and had just taken two steps when she suddenly thought of something and turned around to ask, "Oh, by the way, are you going to take a nap today?"

"I sleep every day... why are you asking this again?"

"Nothing, just asking!"

Shen Mochen glared, "You're not planning to do something to me while I'm napping, are you?"

Xia Qingrou snorted, "Who would want to do anything to you, don't flatter yourself!"

"Who knows, maybe you think I'm handsome and dashing and want to take advantage of me while I'm asleep!"

"Who would take advantage of you, you're conceited!"

Xia Qingrou was startled inside. Although she knew he was joking, she still felt a little guilty and became angrily embarrassed.

"Hmph, looks like I'll have to lock my door from now on when I sleep!"

"Lock it if you want, it's none of my business!"

Xia Qingrou thought to herself, you have my room key, don't think I don't have yours. It was you who gave it to me in the first place!

Xia Qingrou eyed Shen Mochen for a long moment. "Hey, how have you been... dealing with it lately?"

"How have I been dealing with what?"

"You know... that thing down there!"

Xia Qingrou's face went red, and she scowled. When she was dating Shen Mochen, she had experienced firsthand just how intense his desires were. A few days ago when they had slept together without anything happening, she could feel his rod-like hardness... But for so long with no one to do that with, what if something got messed up...

"You mean that? Oh, I'm really miserable, I've been so uncomfortable I can't sleep..." Shen Mochen immediately started whining and grabbed Xia Qingrou's hand, pretending to be pitiable, "How about giving me another chance, I'll give you 200, no, 400!"

"Get lost, I'm only worth 400 to you?"

"Or, forty thousand works too..."

Xia Qingrou flew into a rage, "Do you think I'm for sale?"

Shen Mochen continued his sob story, "But now I can only do it by hand every day, don't you feel sorry for me?"

Right, I use my hand, and he can use his... Xia Qingrou quickly realized and stopped worrying. But something still felt wrong.

So, using his hand can replace me, what a jerk!

"Ew, disgusting!" Xia Qingrou immediately pulled her hand away and wiped it disdainfully on her clothes.

Serves you right, just keep it to yourself forever!

"Are you sure about that? Once the promotional video gets released, I'll become a big star. By then, I'm sure to have tons of female fans!"

Xia Qingrou paused for a second.

Shen Mochen hummed twice, lifted his head proudly, and said, "You still have a chance now, to stake a claim on this potential future star. If you think of reconciling after I become famous, I won't even bother with you!"

"Pfft, whoever fancies you must be blind!"

Xia Qingrou bit her lip, somewhat agitated and frustrated.

For the first time, she felt a real sense of crisis. They say when men get rich and famous, they turn bad. Shen Mochen hadn't even made it yet, and girls were already asking for his contact information on the street. What would happen once he was famous? Wouldn't he meet even more girls? Wouldn't there be even more throwing themselves at him?

Ah, this jerk is truly detestable!
