You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 81 - 79: Dismissal! (2/5)
"Class monitor, I have something I’d like to bring up..."
Early Friday morning, several students with inexplicable expressions approached Catherine, with the leading boy swallowing hard as he spoke.
"What’s the matter?" Catherine stopped what she was doing and looked at him indifferently.
The boy took a deep breath, raising his voice slightly, "It’s about the recent rumors that Shen Mochen had been stealing money and embezzling class funds... Of course, there’s no evidence to prove it, and we can’t say he’s definitely like that, but he’s currently in charge of a large sum of our class budget."
"Now everyone is talking about it; it’s better to avoid any suspicion."
"Yeah, even if Shen Mochen is innocent, I don’t think it’s suitable for him to keep his position as the logistics committee member for the school celebration."
"We all support Shen Mochen, but with everyone being so anxious... it doesn’t feel right."
Others began to echo the sentiment, and although the rest of the class didn’t speak, they looked this way and felt the reasoning was sound.
Shen Mochen was from the north, a fact that had already spread. Moreover, tomorrow is the weekend, and many people can’t stand seeing Shen Mochen going out with the Princess anymore—it’s a defamation of the Princess!
Shen Mochen and Catherine exchanged a glance, Shen Mochen didn’t say anything, but just pursed his lips and smiled.
Catherine twirled a strand of blond hair around her ear and smiled, "So, what do you want to do?"
"Let’s replace the person in charge of procurement; it’s too hard for Shen Mochen to handle it alone, and he deserves a break!"
Those opposite spoke with an appropriate tone, standing their ground with reasoned points, making it difficult for anyone to find fault.
"Alright, if everyone feels this way, then from today onwards, Shen Mochen will no longer be the logistics committee member."
Catherine nodded readily, not even bothering to ask Shen Mochen what he thought.
Everyone was momentarily stunned but pleased with the smooth outcome. From a distance, Gao Le smiled triumphantly—it was just the first step in separating Shen Mochen and Catherine. Inspired by Zhao Yuji, he felt a soft approach was better.
This was also to protect Gu Yange and Catherine!
And seeing how readily Catherine dismissed Shen Mochen from his position, it clearly showed that, in her heart, he was not that significant!
"Well, the school celebration is just around the corner; who would like to be the new logistics committee member?" Catherine asked.
"I would!" a boy raised his hand.
"I’ll do it; I really want to serve our class!"
"Let me handle the logistics; contributing to the class is my dream!"
"Actually, I’m very enthusiastic about group activities; I’d like to try too."
"I did logistics last year and have a lot of experience!"
People continuously volunteered, and Catherine seemed pleasantly surprised by her classmates’ spirit of self-sacrifice.
"Then Wang Xiaosong and Fang Botao, you two are the new logistics committee members."
Catherine cleared her throat and called out the names of the first two to speak up.
"Us... both?" The two were stunned.
Right, Catherine had never said that the logistics committee needed only one person, nor had she said she’d always go out to purchase with them.
As Catherine tapped on the Bluetooth keyboard connected to a tablet, she said, "I didn’t expect so many people to volunteer for the most troublesome logistics work. I’m glad to see this. I’ll finish the accounts spreadsheet in a moment and send it to you for review; it’s all yours from here, good luck!"
...
"You look quite happy."
At noon, Catherine sat in the library, looking up at the smile curling at the corners of Shen Mochen’s mouth.
"Yes, I’ve finally rid myself of a big trouble!"
Shen Mochen pulled out a chair and sat down across from her, sighing deeply.
Both of them had guessed that things would end up this way, which was why Catherine had asked Shen Mochen if he was free the next day. Normally, they would definitely go out shopping on weekends, especially with the school anniversary coming up next week.
Catherine blinked and smiled, "Congratulations to you!"
They had long reached an unspoken understanding.

Shen Mochen fist-bumped his chest, "Congrats to you too, you must be happy now that you have a lot of time to make desserts again." Explore hidden tales at novelbuddy
"Actually, I wasn’t making them every day before," Catherine calmly tilted her head, "I’m more looking forward to our daily dates now. I thought my boyfriend felt the same."
"Then don’t tilt your gaze away, dare to look into my eyes when you speak!"
"First, you need to show your eyes for me to stare into them."
Shen Mochen and Catherine habitually bickered, and it was surprising how familiar they had become with each other.
"By the way, where do you want to go tomorrow? Just to be clear, you’re paying for everything. And this is not a date, it’s a thank you for saving my everlasting glory yesterday!"
Shen Mochen leaned back in his chair lazily, like a salty fish.
"I can of course pay, but you better not cover your face."
"Why, you must be after my beauty, aren’t you!"
Catherine’s lips curved up, "So, do you want others to know that student Shen and Catherine are on a date this weekend?"
Shen Mochen hurriedly waved his hands, "Stop, stop, stop, I get it, I’ll dress up nicely tomorrow! Also, this is not a date, so don’t spread rumors! Otherwise, I’ll sue you for defamation!"
Catherine shrugged, pulled out a small box, and opened it; inside was a pork floss bun.
Shen Mochen murmured, "I didn’t expect you to like making these things so much..."
"Is there a problem?"
"Ah no, it’s quite cute... a bit of a ’gap moe’."
Catherine nodded, gently pushing the bun toward him, "Then go ahead and eat."
Shen Mochen touched his belly, looking distressed, "No, I just had lunch, I’m quite full."
"It’s just one bun, it won’t take up much space."
"Why don’t you eat it yourself?"
"I don’t really like these things."
Shen Mochen looked incredulous, "Then you still like to make them?"
Catherine earnestly explained, "Liking to make desserts and liking to eat desserts are two different things, just like people who buy books might not necessarily like reading them. I know a web novelist who used to spend half of his royalties on books. Eventually, his study was filled with books, but he seldom read them, spending more time cleaning dust off the shelves than actual reading."
"Hahaha, who’s that silly author?"
"It’s not worth spending time discussing such a person, I’d much rather hear your thoughts on this bun."
"If I insist on saying no, will the next second involve a gun to my head?"
"I’m sorry you’ve gotten such a serious misperception of me. Actually, at the library this afternoon, I had Fuzi take a break, so she’s not here right now."
Shen Mochen joked, "Sending the bodyguard to rest, you’re really laid-back trusting me like that?"
"Why wouldn’t I trust my own boyfriend? If there were any danger, you’d definitely save me, just like the last few times."
Catherine blinked gently, like a blue lake rippling slightly.
Too enticing, damn it... Hold on, young man, don’t be seduced by beauty! Shen Mochen patted his chest, telling himself.
