You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 36 - 34: Should I be under the car?

"I’m really too clever!"

Shen Mochen felt smug inside, no wonder everyone liked to use honest people!

"How could that be okay? Teacher Cai, you’re also very busy. How could I trouble you? I’ll go by myself, it’s just a bit more time!" Shen Mochen politely refused.

"I’m not too busy either. I’ve just retired recently and suddenly have a lot of free time, which I’m still not quite used to! Let me help you. It’ll be good to get it done early so you can go to sleep early. You haven’t done your homework yet!" Cai Yuncui smiled and gently patted Shen Mochen’s shoulder.

"It’s just that... I still feel it’s too much trouble for you..."

"I told you, from now on I’m your big sister." Cai Yuncui pinched Shen Mochen’s face, deliberately putting on a fierce look, "Whenever you’re in trouble, just come to me. If you keep being polite like this, your sister will be unhappy! Caiyu has said that if you don’t behave, I’m allowed to hit you!"

The restaurant lights shone on Cai Yuncui, seeming to add a layer of soft filter, making her gentle and pure face even brighter. Her gel-framed glasses slid down a little, revealing the twinkling, smiling eyes behind them.

Shen Mochen looked at Cai Yuncui’s face and suddenly, a nameless anger arose.

It was unprovoked, and he didn’t know why, but he just suddenly disliked the way Cai Yuncui looked. Looking at her expression, Shen Mochen was suddenly reminded of the little girl who had once given him half a donut, an indelible shame for him.

Shen Mochen was silent for a moment, then smiled, "Sister Cai is so good to me, is it because you pity me?"

Cai Yuncui was instantly shocked, blinking, "Why... why would you think that..."

Shen Mochen’s face was close to Cai Yuncui’s, his gaze fixed tightly on her. Even though his eyes were covered by his bangs, his intense stare was still very oppressive, "Because my sister told you about us being orphans, told you that we scavenged in the slums as children, told you that only one of us three could go to school... So, you pity me?"

"It’s not like that..."

Cai Yuncui was completely unprepared for Shen Mochen’s sudden confrontation and stuttered for a moment, unsure of how to respond. She paused, took a deep breath, and faced Shen Mochen directly.

"...Have you always been very concerned about it?" Cai Yuncui gently stroked Shen Mochen’s cheek, biting her lip, "Actually, I’m just like you, I don’t have parents either."

Shen Mochen was taken aback.

Cai Yuncui continued, "I heard that my father originally hauled goods for others. Before I was born, he overloaded the vehicle to earn more for raising me. He had an accident and died. My mother was traumatically affected; after giving birth to me, she was always mentally unstable and soon drowned in a pond."

Shen Mochen was silent.

"I feel that I don’t have the right to pity you. Maybe, we empathize with each other?" Cai Yuncui half-joked with a wink, her hand resting on Shen Mochen’s shoulder, offering some comfort, "So don’t think like that anymore. My personal history isn’t any better, and I look after you because you’re a good kid."

After a long silence, Shen Mochen softly said, "Sister Cai, I’m sorry..."

"It’s okay, it’s okay. Between siblings, it’s good to clear up misunderstandings!"

Cai Yuncui gently hugged Shen Mochen, rubbing her face against his shoulder whilst laughing, but then suddenly remembered that Shen Mochen might have feelings for her, and promptly let go of him. She coughed and said seriously, "My feelings for you are the same as how Caiyu feels for you, understand? It’s the same kind of affection!"

I know what you’re trying to say, but there’s really no need to compare yourself to that bad woman Yin Caiyu! I was kind of touched at first, but now that you’ve said this, my feelings are a bit complicated!

Shen Mochen touched his chest somewhat wistfully, recalling the feel of Cai Yuncui’s embrace, indeed grand as the mountain roads of Shu, yet as soft as pastry... Well, no need for wild thoughts; that wouldn’t be very polite to her!

"I know, Sister Cai. You and my sister are just the same!" Even though Shen Mochen knew it was a misunderstanding, he still appeared sincere and went along with Cai Yuncui to alleviate her concerns.

"Mhm, I’ve always wanted brothers and sisters, and now I finally have both!"

Cai Yuncui’s face was filled with joy as she hugged Shen Mochen again and rubbed against him.

Just like Caiyu said, Xiao Chen really is a child with a lot of pride, Cai Yuncui thought to herself. But Xiao Chen is indeed a good child!

"Sister, do you mean the comrades you were talking about?" Shen Mochen asked.

"Yes, I’m the oldest among them, so they are all my little sisters! When we have time, I can introduce you to each other. They are all very beautiful. If you take a liking to any of them, I could even help you set things up..." Cai Yuncui started with a playful smile, then suddenly shook her head, "Oh, no, no, only Xiao Rou is allowed. Hmm, but she seems a bit..."

"Cough cough!" Shen Mochen coughed twice, interrupting Cai Yuncui’s runaway train of thought, "Sister Cai, speaking of which, what did you do before..."

Cai Yuncui paused, then realizing what Shen Mochen meant, laughed and said, "I lived with my grandma in the countryside. I was attending a free elementary school. Then people from the Jishi Association came to do inspections in the countryside and took me in. I studied for free until I was in high school when I awakened my superpower..."

Shen Mochen laughed, "That really is a case of good people getting good outcomes!"

The Jishi Association is a global charity organization which spends a lot of manpower and resources every year to aid impoverished children, allowing them to study at specific schools until high school graduation. Among these kids, those with outstanding performance can also get scholarships for university.

Yin Huailian had once encountered people from the Jishi Association on the streets. After they inquired about her family situation, they expressed a willingness to help her. However, when she heard that the Jishi Association would only help her individually, and that she would be arranged to study at a boarding school where she might not be able to return home even once a term, she decisively refused.

It took a long time before she told Yin Caiyu and Shen Mochen about it. Naturally, they both gave her a good scolding, feeling that she had wasted a great opportunity.

Cai Yuncui, feeling somewhat embarrassed, smiled and patted Shen Mochen on the head, "Then let’s go now. If we finish the logistics purchasing early, we can come back and do our homework sooner!"

"Sister Cai, you’re so kind-hearted, I always feel you are easy prey for bad people."

"Why are you saying the same thing as they do, I’m not a fool!"

Shen Mochen smiled self-deprecatingly with his head down.

When the two of them went downstairs, the sky had already turned dark, with two bright moons in the sky and a few stars twinkling on and off.

"Sister Cai, there are no lights in the stairwell, so be careful... hey, there’s a threshold here!"

Shen Mochen assisted Cai Yuncui out of the apartment building, and just then, a lingering voice reached Shen Mochen’s ears.

"It’s 6:23 now, you’re late."

"Yekaterina..."

Shen Mochen instinctively looked toward the person speaking, stumbled and almost fell backward, a look of sheer panic on his face.

"Classmate Yekaterina, what are you doing here?" Cai Yuncui was full of confusion.

"Should I be under a car?" Yekaterina replied indifferently.
