You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 132 - 127: Alone

As Cai Yuncui left, the room became filled with an awkward atmosphere.

Perhaps it was only Shen Mochen who felt awkward. He lay in bed, unsure how to act as a patient or how serious his condition was supposed to be at this moment.

He deeply regretted and cursed himself silently as a fool. He would have been better off at school. It would have just been wandering around for a while, and there would have been several people around, after which he could have easily made an excuse to slip away!

It wouldn’t have been as bad as now.

"Do you want some water, Shen? I’ll go get you some."

Liu Chaoyan said.

"Oh, oh, ok,"

Shen Mochen replied.

Liu Chaoyan gave a slight smile, stood up, and walked out of the bedroom. Shen Mochen sighed with relief, but she soon returned with a glass of water. Holding it in both hands, she offered it to him.

She had changed into a white dress today with a blue ribbon tied at the back of her head. The morning sunlight poured in through the bedroom window, illuminating her, ethereal and gracefully artistic.

"Thank you, thank you," Shen Mochen said politely, without looking up, pretending to drink.

"Your home is so tidy, Shen. Do you clean up by yourself?" Liu Chaoyan asked.

"Ah yes, I mostly live alone..."

Shen Mochen replied awkwardly. Your next journey awaits at novelbuddy

Damn it, it felt like he was a guest in someone else’s home, even though he was in his own. Oh, and he had never been this nervous even when visiting others.

She probably doesn’t remember me. After all, in her eyes back then, I was just a "little beggar," Shen Mochen comforted himself.

But he was inexplicably worried. He didn’t want to be recognized. He didn’t want anyone to remember that pathetic and unsuccessful version of himself.

"It’s rare to find someone so organized; even I struggle with that..."

Liu Chaoyan observed the surroundings; everything was immaculate. Perhaps, only such an environment could suit such a beautiful young man.

"Ha ha..." Shen Mochen, holding the tea cup, told himself to stay calm and said, "I heard from Sister Cai that Miss Liu is a bit of a clean freak. I’m glad you don’t mind it here."

"How could Sister Cai even mention that to others..." Liu Chaoyan’s face slightly flushed, and her eyes fluttered like flowing water in the mountains, "It’s only a little bit, actually. Because a comrade of mine is always messy, and I keep scolding her, they think I’m a clean freak."

"That doesn’t count as being a clean freak; I think having good living habits is always right!"

"That’s true, Shen is absolutely correct!" Liu Chaoyan smiled slightly and blinked gently, "I hope you can speak for me in front of Sister Cai in the future, otherwise she might misunderstand me."

"Sure, sure, absolutely," Shen Mochen nodded.

"Do you need more water?"

Liu Chaoyan looked at Shen Mochen’s now empty cup and smiled warmly.

"No need, thank you."

"It’s okay... We’ve been chatting for a while, and you seem to be in great spirits," Liu Chaoyan said.

Shen Mochen paused, suddenly remembering he had forgotten to act sick.

"Cough, cough…" Shen Mochen first coughed lightly, then said, "I’m not that ill, it’s just a common cold. I don’t need any care."

"Is that so?" Liu Chaoyan gently stretched out her hand and placed it on Shen Mochen’s head.

That warm yet cool touch, mixed with the delicate fragrance of the young girl, caused Shen Mochen’s heart to flutter, and in that instant, he could not help but breathe lighter.

"It’s indeed not too hot." Liu Chaoyan withdrew her hand and smiled at Shen Mochen, "You should feel better after taking the medicine later."

"Mm, it actually doesn’t matter if I don’t take the medicine..."

Shen Mochen inadvertently spoke the truth, but then quickly realized it was imprudent. Luckily, Liu Chaoyan did not delve into the meaning behind his words, simply smiling it off.

At that moment, a bubbling sound came from outside the room, and Liu Chaoyan smiled as she took the water cup from Shen Mochen’s hand, "I’ll go pour you some hot water."

He really knows how to use a kettle... Shen Mochen thought to himself, not exactly the kind who has never handled household chores. Oh, right, she is a Buque, probably used to taking care of herself in daily life, definitely not some pampered princess.

Being a daughter from a Family, it’s quite impressive she didn’t use her connections to avoid military service and continued serving even after her mandatory term, Shen Mochen noted to himself.

He didn’t even realize that at the thought, a pleasant feeling surged in his heart.

Before long, Liu Chaoyan came over carrying hot tea, her figure swaying gracefully like an elegant white lotus.

"Thank you."

Shen Mochen smiled and was about to reach for the tea cup when he heard Liu Chaoyan’s light shout, "Careful, it’s hot."

But the warning came too late. The scalding tea cup slipped from Shen Mochen’s grip, falling onto the bed and splashing hot water everywhere.

"Ah!" Shen Mochen cursed under his breath.

He instinctively threw back the blanket to prevent the seeping hot water from scalding him, then looked at Liu Chaoyan with concern, "I’m sorry, are you hurt?"

"I’m fine." Liu Chaoyan shook her head as she bent down to pick up the tea cup.

"I’m sorry..."

"I’m sorry..."

Both apologized simultaneously, then paused for a moment and couldn’t help but look at each other and smile.

"I’m really sorry, I should have warned you earlier."

Liu Chaoyan set the teacup down and then gently grasped the tips of Shen Mochen’s fingers to check his palm.

The touch of Liu Chaoyan’s hands was as smooth and tender as jade, gently resting on Shen Mochen’s hand.

"I’m fine, it was my carelessness...I’ll go get something."

Shen Mochen’s mind was a whirl, and he quickly withdrew his hand and hurried out of the bedroom. When he returned, he was holding a towel and a mop.

"I saw you holding the cup directly and thought it wasn’t too hot," Shen Mochen said with a sheepish smile as he mopped up the water on the floor.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry... Because I always use my superpower to hold these things, I didn’t actually touch it."

"That must be quite convenient, huh?" Shen Mochen finished mopping and wiped the floor without prying further into her superpower.

Liu Chaoyan stepped back slightly to make room for Shen Mochen to mop, then crouched down to his level, "My superpower is related to wind, roughly controlling the airflow. It really is a convenient skill, but it lacks destructive power... sometimes I do feel a bit powerless."

"Haha, I don’t quite understand you Buque, but superpowers don’t necessarily have to be used on the battlefield, right? It seems quite handy in everyday life..." Shen Mochen was speaking, when he suddenly noticed that Liu Chaoyan’s socks were soaked through.

She had entered without shoes and hadn’t had time to put them on again, wearing only a pair of small white socks. Now, these socks, drenched, became translucent, faintly revealing the exquisite and delicate toes inside.

Her feet, slender and lovely with rounded toes like little pearls, were hidden in the damp socks, resembling misty waters or sandy moons, adding a touch of dim beauty. On closer look, they resembled crystal-clear rice cakes, seeming as if a bite would taste sweet and sticky.
