NOVPUB"How could that be..." Shen Mochen was stunned for a moment, instinctively denying it, but then he thought of Cai Yuncui's character and glanced at the pot beside him, chuckling, "Are you talking about the soup?"
"Weren't you drawn here by the scent of the mung bean and lotus seed soup I was cooking?" Cai Yuncui thought Shen Mochen was playing dumb, gently patted his arm, and laughed, "It's not ready yet, drink it later. And you just finished dinner, are you hungry again now?"
Shen Mochen laughed somewhat coquettishly, "Isn't it just because the soup you cooked is too tempting, Sister Cai? I couldn't help it!"
"Are there any more lotus seeds left to peel, do you want some?"
"Yes, and Sister Cai, you should head back early too, I see this mung bean and lotus seed won't be ready anytime soon, the kitchen is too hot."
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Cai Yuncui tenderly filled Shen Mochen's hand with a handful of lotus seeds, "You go back if you're free, and get along well with Xiaoxue, don't fight anymore."
Shen Mochen fell silent for a moment, "Sister Cai, do you still want to restore your superpower?"
"I..." Cai Yuncui's face immediately flushed, she turned her face away sheepishly, "But... you and Xiaoxue... we can't do that anymore."
"Then let's do it the way we did at the beginning." Shen Mochen drew his knife and cut his finger.
"Ah!"
It was too late for Cai Yuncui to stop him.
Shen Mochen stretched his hand out in front of Cai Yuncui, smilingly, "Hurry up, Sister Cai, it hurts."
Cai Yuncui pursed her lips and, with resignation, grasped Shen Mochen's hand, sucking the cut finger in her mouth.
"Let's just do it this way from now on."
After it was done, Shen Mochen pulled out his finger.
"Hey... you haven't talked to... um, maybe you should still tell Xiaoxue."
"Okay, I'll think about it," Shen Mochen said.
"You always brush me off like this!" Cai Yuncui pouted unhappily, "Last time too, you said you would talk to Qingrou, but you didn't until you broke up!"
"Okay, I know. I'll try to think it over soon and give you an answer," Shen Mochen replied, smiling as he pinched Cai Yuncui's cheek.
Cai Yuncui squinted her eyes, subconsciously yielding to Shen Mochen's touch, but she quickly snapped back to her senses, her cheeks slightly flushed with displeasure as she shook his hand off. Then she deliberately emphasized by pinching Shen Mochen's cheek.
"I know, I know, I'm not rushing you. I just think, you should speak up sooner, they certainly won't betray you!"
"Fine, fine, I'll head back then." Shen Mochen did not resist Cai Yuncui's hand, "You should go back to rest as well."
Cai Yuncui was drenched in sweat, and Shen Mochen didn't dare to stay any longer. Although he still very much wanted to sit down and chat with her.
Three days later.
After breakfast, in the back courtyard corner, Shen Mochen "reluctantly" practiced kissing with Liu Chaoyan, who then told him some good news.
"That lapdog is almost here, go meet him," Liu Chaoyan wiped away the shimmering silk from the corner of her mouth, smilingly said.
"People come to help you out of kindness, and you call them a bootlicker," Shen Mochen pouted, "Your personality is too awful!"
"It's to help you, not me." Liu Chaoyan shrugged her shoulders, leaning against the corner of the wall, "You should ride your motorbike there. He doesn't know anything right now, not even about your superpower, so make sure you don't let anything slip."
"Didn't you say he's trustworthy?"
"Just because he's trustworthy doesn't mean those above won't find out about my chats with him. I'll tell him myself when he gets here. Also, no matter how much you try to hide, your trail has already been exposed." Liu Chaoyan said indifferently, "The higher-ups have questioned me about you, asking me to pay more attention to you. Your secret might not stay hidden for much longer."
"Well... as long as I don't tell, who will know?" Shen Mochen laughed.
"Seeing you're not too worried, you must be preparing something... are you close to 'Divine Skill'? Then you can negotiate terms with the higher-ups?"
"Hey, you're..." Shen Mochen was speechless, shivering unconsciously in the summer heat, "So scary!"
Liu Chaoyan smiled slightly, "So, do you want to stay in Buque, or go to Roman? If you go to Roman, you might have more power than staying here. With your strength, you do deserve the Alexandrova family's little princess."
"Hmph, I'm very patriotic!" Shen Mochen puffed out his chest.
"It doesn't really show." Liu Chaoyan smiled with narrow eyes, "Oh right, a superpower user's abilities only last for a few years, and with your prudent personality, it's surprising you're not worried about your powers waning and being double-crossed in a few years... It seems that the superpower you restored can not only affect others but can also keep you at your peak forever."
"Damn... you monster!"
Shen Mochen quickly covered his own mouth and turned to ride away on his motorbike. If he continued talking with Liu Chaoyan, she'd strip him bare!
"Monster..." Liu Chaoyan watched Shen Mochen's retreating figure kick up the dust, murmuring with an inscrutable expression, "You're the real monster. Truly frightening."
...
"Is that Brother Wu Yunpeng?"
At the Sentinel Station, Shen Mochen waited for a bit until he saw a car slowly pull up, from which a short-haired young man stepped out.
"Yeah, yes, oh my, you're Shen Mochen, right? Haha, finally get to meet you in person!"
Wu Yunpeng also approached with a beaming smile, sizing up Shen Mochen and thinking to himself, this kid is ridiculously handsome!
"Haha, thank you for coming to help my girlfriend today. I'm extremely grateful!" Shen Mochen said with eager warmth on his face.
Shen Mochen was so clever, knowing that the other party was Liu Chaoyan's bootlicker, so he immediately distanced himself from her and emphasized that he had a girlfriend.
"Chaoyan asked me to come, even if there's a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, I won't hesitate... But I heard about your girlfriend's situation, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to cure her!" Wu Yunpeng said.
"No worries, even if it's not successful, I'll still be grateful!" Shen Mochen patted the motorbike's rear seat, "Hop on, I'll take you to our dorm!"
Wu Yunpeng sat on the motorbike, grabbing onto Shen Mochen's waist. A sudden and inexplicable urge to laugh bubbled inside him. His sister had been crazily in love with this man recently, no matter how many posters of Shen Mochen she bought, how much data she compiled for him online, or how many times she battled trolls... she could never get as close to Shen Mochen as he was right now!
Now he got to hug his waist whenever he wanted or touch him wherever he chose! Wu Yunpeng felt smug inside.
Although he wasn't Nan Tong, guys also liked to make friends with super handsome dudes!
But... he has a girlfriend... Wait a minute, he already had an extremely beautiful girl like Liu Chaoyan as a partner, and yet he moved on to dating someone else so quickly!
Just who is this girlfriend, and where is she from!
