You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 286 - 277: I’ll Sleep with Xuexue!
That was a beauty whose features could rival the perfection found in textbooks, and Shen Mochen had no doubt that Xiao Xingshuang and Catherine were both considered the pinnacle of beauty for their respective races—white and yellow.
The two bore an uncanny resemblance to each other—not in appearance but in an ethereal and intangible way.

Their eyes were probably the least alike among their features; Catherine's eyes were like calm and vast seas, while Xiao Xingshuang's eyes were pitch-dark and eerily still nights.
The moment he saw Xiao Xingshuang, Shen Mochen immediately remembered that he hadn't yet fulfilled her request.
It wasn't that he had forgotten about it; he simply had no opportunity to speak to Catherine. He didn't have the shameless audacity to ask for a favor after swiftly rolling in the sheets with another woman.
Whether she could do it or not was beside the point; if he were her, he'd have surely been the first to throw himself into a river.
But Xiao Xingshuang had helped him in name, and he owed her a favor. Seeing her in person now, he couldn't help feeling a bit guilty.
So before Xiao Xingshuang could speak, Shen Mochen admitted his fault first, "Sorry, I didn't find the opportunity this time, but I will definitely talk to her next time!"
Xiao Xingshuang was taken aback for a moment, a hint of disappointment crossing her face.
"Oh, I understand..." Xiao Xingshuang said.
"Cough cough, you're not retiring for a while yet, right? Don't worry, I will definitely speak to her before then!" Shen Mochen coughed.
"Okay, thank you."
Xiao Xingshuang looked at Shen Mochen's face and nodded.
Her eyes were as world-weary and secluded as ever, utterly undisturbed. That thank you sounded like nothing more than a perfunctory courtesy.
"Sorry, next time I have leave, I'll definitely go talk to her myself!" Shen Mochen said, nodding repeatedly, trying to pin the reason he hadn't spoken to her on Xia Qingrou.
I brought my current girlfriend with me this time; it really isn't appropriate to ask for help from an ex!
Xiao Xingshuang asked indifferently, "Haven't you broken up with Xia Qingrou?"
Shen Mochen's mouth twitched slightly as he chuckled dryly, "We talked it over and decided not to break up after all."
He had said this to Xiao Xingshuang before because she had seen him kissing Fuzi.
But what Shen Mochen said at the time wasn't a lie; he was indeed planning on coming clean with Xia Qingrou and breaking up.
That they had come this far in their relationship was just to say that man's plans can't compare to fate's.
But upon hearing this, Xiao Xingshuang just nodded, then without any further reaction, turned and left Shen Mochen's bedroom.
Shen Mochen let out a small sigh of relief. If she had been persistent, he really would have had a headache.
Not to mention, if he revealed that he could replicate other people's superpowers, that would be a huge problem.
Furthermore...
He hadn't intentionally thought about it before, but upon seeing Xiao Xingshuang herself, he naturally remembered that he had kissed her too.
Although it was ostensibly just to copy her superpower, that was, after all, her first kiss.
Watching Xiao Xingshuang close the door to his room, Shen Mochen couldn't help but reminisce about the sweet fragrance like osmanthus honey—truly a scent that didn't match her temperament.
But it was quite delicious.
After staying in his bedroom for quite some time, Xia Qingrou pushed open Shen Mochen's door and called out sweetly, "Hubby, come and cook dinner with me!"
Shen Mochen got up and raised an eyebrow, "Didn't you learn to cook by yourself?"
"Come help me chop the vegetables!" Xia Qingrou pulled Shen Mochen toward the outside.
As they passed the living room, Xiao Xingshuang was just coming out of the bathroom, her gaze lowered.
Yet, Xia Qingrou was very enthusiastic, hugging Shen Mochen's arm and cheerily calling out to Xiao Xingshuang, "Shuangshuang, tonight my husband and I are cooking! I'll let you see the results of my special training!"
Xiao Xingshuang glanced at the two of them, "Oh...you two seem very close."
Shen Mochen's heart gave a slight jolt.
"That's right, we're the best couple!" Xia Qingrou proudly tilted her nose up a little as she looked towards Shen Mochen, "Isn't that right, hubby!"
"Mhm, mhm... right, right, let's hurry up and cook." Shen Mochen turned his face away as he spoke.
...
Today's dinner earned high praise from Liu Chaoyan and genuine admiration—even the poison-tongued Han Muxue didn't nitpick too much. As for Xiao Xingshuang, just as usual, she ate expressionlessly and then got up to wash the dishes.
Shen Mochen was originally on duty for tonight, but as a "joke" punishment from Xiao Xingshuang earlier, she was going to take over his duties for half a month.
However, according to the five-person schedule, by the time Shen Mochen's half-month duty was up, Xiao Xingshuang would likely be retiring, too.
After dinner, Liu Chaoyan sat elegantly on the sofa, laughing and talking with Shen Mochen, "Have Shen and Xia been enjoying themselves these past few days?"
Xia Qingrou said with a giggle, "Yanyan, you're so sweet, giving us a little holiday on purpose!"
Liu Chaoyan nodded slightly, "Not entirely, it just so happens that these past few days are the separation month, and we don't need that many people."
"Even though it's separation month, there was an A-class monster that appeared a few days ago." Shen Mochen said.
"That was just an accident. The chances of encountering an A-class monster are really slim, most Buque members never see one in many years," Liu Chaoyan replied with her usual calm smile.
Shen Mochen asked, "Captain, what are your plans going forward?"
Liu Chaoyan slightly tilted her head, "My plans?"
"Having encountered such a dangerous situation, didn't your family want you to retire or something?"
"While they have mentioned it, I still hope to remain in Buque until the very last moment, just like Catherine."
Xia Qingrou lightly patted Shen Mochen's thigh, "Look at that determination, truly worthy of a Family's young miss. This upbringing is just different!"
Liu Chaoyan brushed back her hair, "You flatter me, Xia. Has Shen visited the school these days?"
"No." Shen Mochen shook his head.
"I can understand, after all, you want to be with Xia..." Liu Chaoyan covered her mouth with a laugh, whether it was the gentle teasing or her smile, it was all perfectly appropriate, "I've heard from Zhao Yuji that your classmates at First Middle School miss you a lot. He also asked me to invite you to visit the school during the next holiday."
"Zhao Yuji, huh..." Shen Mochen blinked, smirking, "Tell him I will."
After chatting a bit more, Liu Chaoyan tactfully stood up to return to her room.
Shen Mochen and Xia Qingrou looked at each other in the living room, and Shen Mochen got up, "Then I'll be heading back too, Xia should rest early as well."
"Eh!"
However, Xia Qingrou called out to Shen Mochen with a slightly dissatisfied tone.
Shen Mochen turned back, "Is there something else?"
Xia Qingrou pursed her lips and suddenly grabbed Shen Mochen's collar, planting a forceful kiss on his lips, the sweet tang of citrus slowly spreading to his taste buds from the corners of his mouth.
"Don't get me wrong, it's just a goodnight kiss, completing the act, that's all!"
Releasing Shen Mochen, Xia Qingrou wiped her mouth and whispered.
But there was no one else around, Shen Mochen looked around; it was just the two of them in the living room, not sure who the act was for.
"I'll sleep with Xuexue tonight!" Xia Qingrou turned and said.
"Oh," Shen Mochen nodded.
Oh your head, you fool! Xia Qingrou felt vexed inside.
