NOVPUB"Oh..." Shen Mochen responded absently.
"Hey hey, what's with that attitude? Someone bullied your girlfriend!" Xia Qingrou pinched Shen Mochen's arm lightly.
Shen Mochen corrected, "Ex-girlfriend."
Xia Qingrou angrily said, "Ex-girlfriend isn't a girlfriend anymore! After sleeping with someone, you just reject them, right? Jerk!"
"It was you who slept with me, thank you."
"Who slept with whom, you forget people after pulling up your pants!"
Shen Mochen held his forehead, "Alright, alright, what do you want me to do, just play a good boyfriend?"
Xia Qingrou coughed slightly, her eyes bright, "I want the super-loving kind, only having eyes for me, can't live without me for a moment!"
Shen Mochen's mouth twitched slightly. You girls sure love to fantasize!
"Are you trying to satisfy your private desires by this?" Shen Mochen glanced sideways, "Let me clarify, I sell my body but not my feelings, I already have someone in my heart!"
"I don't care about your emotions, I just want you to play the boyfriend!" Xia Qingrou's hands continuously loosened and tightened with an eager expression, meanwhile letting out bursts of low, sinister laughter, "She doesn't have a boyfriend yet, hehehe... this time I'm definitely going to win!"
"What on earth did your sister do to you..."
"She bullied me all the time at home, liked to compete with me for everything, even things she didn't like, she pushed all her troubles onto me, lied about saving New Year's money together then spent it all on clothes, tattled on me at the drop of a hat, gave me wrong answers to homework that got me scolded by teachers, gave me nasty nicknames, tricked me with boogers saying they were raisins, drank all my nourishing porridge when I was sick, and made up songs about my embarrassing childhood and sang them at home!"
Xia Qingrou, fueled by fury, clenched her teeth and aired her grievances, one by one. As she spoke, tears gathered in her eyes, as if the vices of her sister were exhaustless as the bamboo books of South Mountain, the evils as endless as the East Sea's waves!
Today, she was definitely going to get back at all those past bullying moments!
In fact, Shen Mochen didn't quite understand why Xia Qingrou felt the need to have a boyfriend to get revenge on her sister.
Judging from how Xia Qingrou described her, her sister must also be not too bad, definitely not lacking boyfriend candidates. Of course, finding a boyfriend as handsome as him would naturally be impossible.
But if Xia Qingrou merely wanted to showcase her world's most handsome boyfriend as a form of triumph or revenge, that seemed too childish.
However, thinking about the immature ways the other side used to torment her, it suddenly seemed quite reasonable.
After picking clothes for Shen Mochen, Xia Qingrou found a very upscale-looking hair salon. As soon as they entered, the free Tony teachers' eyes brightened, almost instinctively surrounding them.
"Are the two of you here to get a haircut?"
"She's here to get her hair done."
Shen Mochen pointed to Xia Qingrou, signaling her not to hang on his arm anymore; this wasn't the time to show affection anymore.
A Tony teacher who seemed to be the highest ranked walked over and, staring at Xia Qingrou, smiled and asked, "What hairstyle would you like to have, miss?"
"Just choose any, just get me a female hairstylist..." Xia Qingrou pointed at Shen Mochen, "My boyfriend gets jealous."
I'm not that petty. Shen Mochen thought to himself, besides, we are a couple that's already broken up, this relationship is even more fragile than it was with Catherine.
Xia Qingrou said she hated guys, and it seemed true. From Shen Mochen's observation, she hadn't made contact with any men besides him today, even in the morning while shopping; because there was a male clerk in some store, she just glanced and then walked away.
It looks like I'm the exception.
What hate for guys, it's all about the face. Shen Mochen picked up a shared power bank and sat down on a sofa inside the salon waiting for Xia Qingrou to finish her hair, grumbling in his mind.
He and other boys were fundamentally different in only one way... But that might not be the case either, perhaps because they had done and seen everything with each other before. At least physically, they had no secrets from each other.
He had heard that girls always have special feelings for their first time partner. Although Qingrou didn't invest her feelings when playing poker with him, it was not impossible for a bit of love to grow over time. At the end of that night, she seemed quite satisfied.
Forget it, whatever feelings she has for me don't matter since it's impossible for us to be together anyway. It was just a small favor.
Shen Mochen played with his phone, occasionally approached by female customers and the woman named Tony for a chat. Shen Mochen was not interested in talking to them, so he brushed them off casually.
"Hey!"
A hand landed on Shen Mochen's shoulder as he was watching a movie.
"Sorry, I'm here with my girlfriend," Shen Mochen said without looking up.
"Wow, really keeping the male virtue, huh!" a teasing laugh.
Only then did Shen Mochen put away his phone and glance up, to see a girl reminiscent of high summer before him.
Her hair color and style had changed. Her original violet-gray straight hair was now dyed light gold flaxen, cut shoulder length with a side part and soft waves. She looked more mature, refined, and carefree than before.
Radiating a remaining glow and breathing fragrance like an orchid, a lady of excellence, her beauty gentle and flowing. Unequaled through a thousand ages, surpassing the ancient and modern as something special.
"Dummy, what are you staring at, let's go!" Qingrou said.
"How much?" Shen Mochen looked up to ask Tony.
"You're too pragmatic, did my beauty seduce you?"
Leaving the hair salon, Qingrou clicked her tongue, surprised that Shen Mochen had actually offered to pay for her, huh!
"What are you talking about, isn't it you who asked me to play the perfect boyfriend?" Shen Mochen glanced at her, "It starts now, remember to reimburse together after we get back."
Qingrou snorted, lifting her head, "Hmph, I didn't say it started. You volunteered to pay; that doesn't count!"
"So does it start now?" Shen Mochen asked.
"Yes, now it officially starts!" Qingrou felt she got a bargain and grinned broadly, completely lacking the self-awareness of a beautiful young lady.
I always take advantage of others; it's the first time someone has taken advantage of me.
Shen Mochen chuckled internally, my advantages aren't easy to seize, you better be ready to cry.
Later, Qingrou went to a beauty salon for a useless skin treatment and even removed her manicure.
"This thing has been too long, I've never been used to it! It's inconvenient for archery too, now I can finally take it off, you go back and tell them, you didn't like it!"
After removing her manicure, Qingrou clenched her fist, very satisfied with the feel of her hands now.
"Why do I have to cover for you again, just say you don't like it." Shen Mochen frowned slightly, not understanding why Qingrou had to lie about this.
"Don't worry about it, maybe I'll tell you later!" Qingrou waved her hand.
The two found a coffee shop and sat down, whiling away the afternoon.
As the sunlight finally dimmed, Qingrou checked a message and her expression subtly changed.
"She's here, let's go, let's take her down!"
