You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 312 - 302

"I guess there isn't much to miss..." Shen Mochen thought to himself.

He didn't have much of a feeling for First Middle School, or school life in general. His days were consumed with studying and very little socializing. Even at Fengye Middle School, any social interaction was passive at best, and he was used to being alone most of the time.

Once at First Middle School, he found himself without anyone to talk to, aside from Liu Bo, stuck in a routine of going to and from school. Rumors claimed that First Middle School was the most beautiful in Gaotang State, but Shen Mochen had only ventured beyond the academic buildings and library a few days before his birthday.

Speaking of his strongest impression of First Middle School, the image that came to Shen Mochen's mind was that of the Princess with her proud figure and silver-like long hair.

Thinking carefully, even though she seemed somewhat domineering, she did indeed help him out a fair bit.

But aside from that, he had no other memorable impressions of First Middle School.

So when Shen Mochen left, he felt indifferent, like a guest who had stayed at an inn for just one night.

However, it's often the most mundane things you begin to miss once you leave them behind entirely.

For instance, the morning sunlight on the way to school, or the evening bell that rang at the end of class... and the person who always waited to leave the classroom with you.

The faint light from the cellphone by his pillow suddenly brightened. Shen Mochen picked it up, glanced at the screen, and then dimmed it again.

"Who is it?" Xia Qingrou asked, curious to take a peek.

"Nobody, just some spam text," Shen Mochen replied, putting the phone back.

It was a message from Fuzi, consisting of only a few words: "One week later, at Lake Moon Tower."

A week later, Catherine's adult ceremony was to be held at Lake Moon Tower.

Other than that, Fuzi gave no implications. She didn't explicitly say he should come or express any other desires—it seemed like merely a simple notification.

But Shen Mochen knew what Fuzi was thinking.

What was he supposed to do there? With all those important people present, what could he possibly change? Could it be that Princess truly believed in fairy tales, expecting some insignificant chap to rescue her from the castle?

We were never of the same world. You are the Princess in the castle, and I'm just a nobody from the gutters. Aren't these inexplicable expectations you have of me a bit too demanding?

Besides, we've broken up. You go your sunny path, and I'll cross my single-plank bridge. I have a new girlfriend now, delicate and affectionate, and she really loves me. No way I'm going to mess around with you again!

"Did you register for something haphazardly?" Xia Qingrou wasn't suspicious and chuckled.

"No, it's just that in this era, there's no such thing as personal privacy. My phone number has probably been sold by now!"

Xia Qingrou snuggled closer within Shen Mochen's embrace and said softly, "True, I also get all sorts of advertising texts..."

"You just asked me if I missed my old school. Well, there's a bit of that, but you certainly have a unique way of consoling someone..."

"Hehe, I can't very well move your school here, can I? So I might as well let you reminiscence about the love life of your student days."

"In our First Middle School, our current behavior would be considered unhealthy interaction between a boy and a girl," Shen Mochen reminded her.

"It doesn't matter, we're adults now, so this is considered healthy interaction!" Xia Qingrou coughed and then shook her head playfully.

Shen Mochen also laughed a little and then something occurred to him: "You didn't just buy our school uniforms for me to wear because you thought I missed school life, did you?"

"Why not? Although I can't bring you back to school, I can at least offer you a bit of comfort... When I first left, I missed school too, even though I used to wish for graduation every day."

Xia Qingrou raised her hand to touch Shen Mochen's head and gently nuzzled his chin.

Boys and girls are different, after all. Girls come of age at sixteen, often before having experienced much of high school life, while Shen Mochen was eighteen and only came to Gaotang to make up for the missing experiences... Xia Qingrou felt he might miss high school life even more than she did back then.

Shen Mochen gently closed his eyes, felt a pang in his heart, smiled, and tenderly embraced Xia Qingrou: "Aren't you spoiling your boyfriend too much? Should I buy a set of your school's uniforms to wear too?"

"Nonsense, who should I spoil if not my boyfriend?" Xia Qingrou blushed faintly with a smile and snuggled closer to Shen Mochen, "But we don't need to bother with my school's uniform, I've been away for more than three years now, and I've forgotten all about it."

Shen Mochen nodded and quietly soaked in the warmth of her arms.

"Eh..." Xia Qingrou fell silent for a good while before rubbing against Shen Mochen's face like a little hamster, "Did your foreign ex-girlfriend dote on you as much as I do?"

"Not at all, how could she have treated me as well as you do? She didn't mistreat me, which was good enough; we didn't even kiss."

Xia Qingrou pouted: "Is that so..."

She felt a strange dissatisfaction, as though she was somewhat resentful on behalf of Shen Mochen... But then again, she was more delighted since they had never kissed, their feelings couldn't possibly compare to what she shared with Shen Mochen!

However, after the initial joy came dissatisfaction again. Damn Shen Mochen, why did he have to have an ex-girlfriend!

It's simply unfair. I'm still his first love, after all!

"Between me and you..." Xia Qingrou almost blurted out the rest, but she swallowed the words back down.

She wanted to ask, "Who doted on you more, me or your first love?" But the question halted just at the tip of her tongue.

It wasn't that she feared putting Shen Mochen in a tough spot, but that she dreaded hearing an answer she did not want to hear.

Shen Mochen knew what she had left unsaid, so he pretended not to hear. It was as though Xia Qingrou had never spoken.

Xia Qingrou also quietly fumed, but when a girl asks a guy to compare his current girlfriend and an ex, no matter the response, she's unlikely to be happy.

Because it wasn't about whether she could measure up to the ex-girlfriend; it was the existence of the ex-girlfriend that bothered her.

Someone else had made it into the heart of the man she loved far earlier than she did.

Just the thought made her heart heavy.

But that's exactly what an ex-girlfriend is—an existence that makes you feel uncomfortable whether you bring her up or not; you're uneasy either way.

Sensing Xia Qingrou's mood shift, Shen Mochen simply held her tighter without saying a word.

Silence, just silence. The clock on the wall ticked and tocked.

"I love you," Xia Qingrou said.

"Mhm, I love you too," answered Shen Mochen.

"You're the one I love the most now."

"Mhm, I know," Shen Mochen nibbled on Xia Qingrou's earlobe, "You treat me so well, I don't even know how to repay you."

Tickled by her boyfriend's gentle touch, Xia Qingrou couldn't help but shiver.

"What's all this repayment talk? We... we're family," Xia Qingrou whispered softly.
