You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 334 - 325: Slap in the Face
"Alright, enough with the jokes," Shen Mochen said. "I'll need you to put some extra effort into Xiao Xingshuang's matter."
"Of course, that's not a problem, just have her send the data to me."
"You should be the one to call her; I think you two are quite alike. You'll probably get along."
"Is she also a weirdo?"
"I mean she also has a poker face... Don't just assume everyone is like yourself!"
After ending the call with Fuzi, Shen Mochen continued to idly scroll through short videos, aimlessly and carelessly.
In fact, he had already guessed that the reason Xia Qingrou broke up with him must have had something to do with Han Muxue. The most direct reason was that Han Muxue had not called him to this day.
Han Muxue's sudden return was definitely due to her learning about their breakup. Based on Han Muxue's usual style, she would have called to lash out at Shen Mochen, berating him thoroughly, from his soul to his character.
But the usually impetuous Han Muxue was now as quiet as a chicken, and Shen Mochen didn't think it was because her phone was out of credit and she couldn't call.
Shen Mochen speculated that Xia Qingrou must have become aware of Han Muxue's feelings, although he didn't know under what circumstances she'd found out. Nevertheless, there was nothing Shen Mochen could do to win her back.
Even if Xia Qingrou did find out about Han Muxue's feelings, it would only have been the final push leading to their breakup. The key conflict still lay within Shen Mochen's own emotional allegiance.
After being questioned yesterday, Shen Mochen felt like he'd been hit on the head, as if jolted awake from a dream, with no desire to entangle further.
Shen Mochen quietly waited in the room until evening. As the setting sun cast its oblique light, he heard Liu Chaoyan outside saying she was going to pick up Han Muxue.
Shen Mochen listened briefly; it seemed that Liu Chaoyan was going alone. Feeling weary, he drifted into a hazy sleep.
...
Next to Sentinel Station, Han Muxue silently watched the black off-road vehicle from the team draw nearer, her heart growing heavier until she saw that only Liu Chaoyan was getting out of the car, and she felt a slight relief.
"Did you come by yourself?" Han Muxue craned her neck to look around.
"Xia sister is not feeling well, so I didn't ask her to come, and we needed someone to stay at the dormitory," Liu Chaoyan said with a smile, pushing Han Muxue's wheelchair and preparing to help her into the car.
Han Muxue temporarily refused Liu Chaoyan's kind offer, her eyebrows tightly furrowed, voice regaining some of its hardness, "...What are those two up to now?"
Liu Chaoyan looked down with a helpless smile. "That... I really can't say."
Han Muxue's voice trembled slightly, "What was the reason for their breakup?"
Liu Chaoyan blinked with slightly furrowed brows, "It seems someone told Xia sister, when Shen was with her, it wasn't his first time..."
Han Muxue paused for a moment before realizing what had been said. She seemed to breathe easier, yet couldn't help feeling a bit angry, "So what if it wasn't... Was it her first time?"
Liu Chaoyan didn't answer but gave a bitter smile, "She blames Shen for lying to her... and also for Shen's constant reminiscence of his deceased ex-girlfriend."
Han Muxue fell silent, until the sun dipped below the horizon and the quiet of the evening was broken only by the passing cries of birds in flight.
"So what if there was... She's been dead for so long," Han Muxue said hoarsely.
"It seems that General Yin... had a relationship with him too..."
"Pssh, scumbag... That General Yin, didn't he also disappear? And who else, that noble young miss from the Roman family?"
"As for that, I haven't heard anything... But, it seems that Miss Alexandrova was the one who told Sister Xia. They met in front of General Yin's hospital room."
So that was it! Han Muxue sighed with relief in her heart, the anxiety she had been feeling had slightly subsided.
"Did... she not say anything else?" Han Muxue tentatively asked.
"Nope, what other reasons could there be?" Liu Chaoyan looked blank.
Han Muxue said nothing, just turned her face away, "It's nothing, let's go back."
She helped the other person into the car and folded the wheelchair. Liu Chaoyan drove back to the dormitory.
Upon entering the house, she saw Xia Qingrou sitting in the living room, just as usual, wearing her earthy pink round-frame glasses, happily watching a TV drama.
"Yo, back so soon!" Xia Qingrou greeted Han Muxue with a smile upon seeing her.
Han Muxue scrutinized Xia Qingrou's expression and after a while, she approached her, "What's gotten into you now?"
Xia Qingrou looked confused, "Xuexue, what are you talking about? What did I do now?"
"Have you lost your mind, breaking up just like that!" Han Muxue glared furiously at Xia Qingrou, cursing vehemently, "So this is what being strong and determined looks like with you, huh? With your level of idiocy, why hasn't the state issued you a first-grade disability certificate? Did you hide when human beings evolved, or why is your intelligence so regressed?"
Xia Qingrou was dumbstruck by Han Muxue's tirade, and after a moment, she said with a wronged look on her face, "Xuexue, you have no idea how much of a jerk he really was!"
Han Muxue fumed, "Then tell me, what did he do!"
"He lied to me, said he was a virgin, but he wasn't! Playing with my feelings, tell me if that's not despicable! And guess what, he even did it with his sister, can you believe that? By the time he got to me, I was already the third hand!"
"Are you a cavewoman... Just because of that, was it really necessary to make such a fuss? A few harsh words should do, or at most throw a few punches his way." Han Muxue pressed her lips together, her voice faded, but still quite forceful.
Xia Qingrou shook her head in refusal, "No, I can't accept being lied to! And I hate it even more that he has someone else in his heart!"
Han Muxue suppressed the anger inside, and said quietly, "After all these years, he only had those two around him, it's... normal to have feelings. Besides, neither of them are around now, why are you jealous of the dead? A little spat and it should be over."
"No," Xia Qingrou shook her head decisively.
"It's been a day, still haven't cooled off?" Han Muxue frowned.
"It's not really anger, just lost interest." Xia Qingrou pouted, "I'm bored, don't want to talk to him anymore."
"What did you say?" Han Muxue was stunned.
Xia Qingrou said with a cheeky smile, "I started dating him because he was handsome, and now that I've had my fill of sleep, it's not bad to end it like this... I'm telling you, this is already the longest relationship I've ever had, I never had a boyfriend for more than two weeks before!"

Han Muxue's head buzzed, disbelief on her face, voice trembling, teeth chattering, "You were just playing around?"
"Xuexue, are you the cavewoman?" Xia Qingrou giggled, "Isn't this pretty normal, naturally breaking up when you've had enough fun. It's not like you have to marry and be faithful after one sleepover, and besides, his first time wasn't with me anyway..."
Smack!
A resounding slap echoed on Xia Qingrou's face, Han Muxue's hand was raised, her expression one of loathing.
