You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 490 - 473

Shen Mochen turned his head to look at Xia Qingrou and thought to himself, what's with your older sister?

Is she really this rational? The difference between you two sisters is just too huge!

Even though he had heard before his visit that Xia Xuexu was no ordinary person, he was still shocked by what she said.

Shen Mochen grew curious, "It seems like your older sister doesn't quite believe in love, has she been hurt before?"

Xia Xuexu laughed, "Many people ask me that, but in truth, I'm not disbelieving in love; I just haven't met someone who can make my heart flutter. Since I haven't met them and I do want to get married, I might as well go through arranged dates based on certain conditions."

"I think it's because your standards are too high..." Xia Qingrou muttered under her breath.

Xia Xuexu just smiled it off.

She wouldn't deny Xia Qingrou's opinion; she too felt that her standards were quite high, otherwise, she wouldn't still be single.

But she was a very planned person; from a young age, she had a clear image of her ideal boyfriend in her mind. Firstly, he had to be handsome, at the very least he must be worthy of her; secondly, he needed to have excellent academic results, at least once in his environment he must have ranked first, and he also needed to have depth, not one of those pretty but empty person, and provide a sense of security, at least where one could entrust everything to him... Of course, it would be best if he could also make her experience the kind of heartbeat described in novels, that seemingly skipped a beat.

Although Xia Xuexu felt that her requirements were somewhat harsh and filled with subjective factors, she didn't think they were excessive.

She had always been a beauty; before her younger sister blossomed, she had never seen anyone who could surpass her in looks. Additionally, her academic achievements were outstanding; she had always been the undisputed first. In any event or competition, if she took part, she had to strive for first place. To her, a competition without aiming for first place was not worth participating in.

One should do things suitable for their age; as a student, she pursued excellence, so by the age of twenty-three, she graduated from the best Royal Institute of Technology in Roman.

After graduation, it was time to be a mature adult, to work and go on arranged dates. She immediately sent her resume to Jueyi First Middle School because there she had the chance to meet the nation's most outstanding young elites and the broadest and strongest networks...

Although getting the job at Jueyi First Middle School was like treading a path of Asuras, where countless people eyed this opportunity, Xia Xuexu still managed to emerge successfully with her excellent qualifications and a series of certifications she had prepared beforehand, becoming one of the youngest teachers in the history of the school.

She always pursued perfection; hence, the boyfriend who would receive all her affection should also be the best... But if she really couldn't find one, she would settle for the next best from a practical and beneficial standpoint, finding someone suitable to marry.

Xia Xuexu rarely visited, and whether it was Xia Qingrou or Shen Mochen, aiming to show initiative, they took her to the night market of Yu Huai City. Xia Qingrou even spent her own money on a bracelet for Xia Xuexu.

Her feelings for Xia Xuexu differed somewhat from those for Xia Yusi; they were more of a mix of respect and fear. Since their parents were always busy with work, Xia Xuexu played the role of an older sister like a mother.

"The night market of Yu Huai City is pretty similar to that of the Capital, but there are many interesting things," Xia Xuexu said as she walked down the street, caressing the bracelet Xia Qingrou had bought for her, her lips curving into a smile.

Xia Qingrou glanced at Shen Mochen's wrist, at the bracelet she bought him, her lips pursed, but then she peeked at his other hand, where the watch was clearly a matching couple's item with Han Muxue. Then she looked again at his neck, where the silver Cross pendant gleamed faintly under the streetlights.

Hmph!

Xia Qingrou felt upset all over again. She took hold of Shen Mochen's hand, wanting to pinch him, but then realizing she had no right to, she sullenly let go and wallowed in her frustrations.

Seeing her reaction, Shen Mochen didn't know whether he misunderstood or intentionally pretended to misunderstand, but he took the initiative to grab Xia Qingrou's hand again. After she tried to shake him off twice without success, she let him be.

"By the way, Shen, with your hair so long, can you see the road clearly?" Xia Xuexu curiously glanced at Shen Mochen.

The other party must have been afraid of being recognized, not only did they have long bangs, but they also wore a disposable mask.

"Good enough, I can barely see the road," Shen Mochen said with a smile.

"Such a tough life for a big star," Xia Xuexu teased.

"Haha, Big Sister, don't make fun of me anymore."

Xia Xuexu laughed, "To keep such long hair and still get first place at Gaotang First Middle School, Little Brother Shen really has a talent for studying."

She had done a little investigation on Shen Mochen before coming. It was not easy to find information about him as a child, but much easier to find after Yin Caiyu's awakening.

He had been the top student at Fengye Middle School, but once he was at First Middle School, only the first and last times he ranked first. The reason wasn't hard to guess; Xia Xuexu understood that Shen Mochen was hiding his true abilities.

Xia Xuexu believed that in a student's environment, anyone who could never achieve first place was definitely a fool. Shen Mochen obviously did not fit into that category; at least his middle school grades were a bonus even where Xia Xuexu was concerned.

"Big Sister flatters me too much, I still fall short in comparison to you," Shen Mochen said modestly.

He wasn't surprised that she knew his grades, as they were not confidential documents. Dating someone's younger sister, it made sense that they'd do a background check.

At least it was much better than the extent to which Catherine did her background check, stripping him down to his underwear.

"Eh, by the way, Little Brother Shen, your Cross is quite interesting. This style looks like it's from Roman."

Xia Xuexu's gaze shifted, and she suddenly let out a light exclamation. She had studied in Roman and recognized it at once.

"Really?" Shen Mochen touched it subconsciously, "This was a gift from a friend in Roman."

Due to his bangs and mask, Xia Xuexu couldn't see his expression at the moment, but after thinking it over, her expression became indescribable, "People from Roman usually don't give others Crosses. The only ones who would give a Cross are priests, direct elders, or a lover. It seems a cute Roman girl gave you the Cross."

"..."

Shen Mochen was somewhat at a loss for words, and he quietly pressed Xia Qingrou's hand, asking for her help in speaking.

Deserved! Xia Qingrou thought to herself.

"This thing was given to him by his ex-girlfriend; I'm the one who told him to keep it," Xia Qingrou huffed, still speaking up for Shen Mochen, "This thing is a limited edition blessed by the Pope, so why not just keep it? Who knows, it might actually be useful?"

"Is that so? It seems you have indeed matured quite a bit," Xia Xuexu said with a nod and a smile.

Wait a minute. Xia Qingrou suddenly remembered that this thing should have been a gift from Catherine... and she had seen Catherine, beautiful as an Angel, like a masterpiece carefully sculpted by a master artist.

Even as a girl herself, she was somewhat moved; could Shen Mochen, the scumbag intent on having a harem, really have no feelings for her?

Xia Qingrou didn't believe it.
