You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 288 - 279 Compensation

Xia Qingrou was somewhat startled, and she frantically wiped the other's eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't mean it... I won't say it anymore, I won't say it!"

Han Muxue opened Xia Qingrou's hands, turned her face away, and said softly, "It has nothing to do with you."

Xia Qingrou gently hummed in response, feeling somewhat at a loss, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Han Muxue didn't speak either, just resumed the paused cartoon, and it started playing again.

They continued watching the cartoon in silence, not uttering a single word throughout.

"...I'm sorry."

A long, long time passed, until an episode of the cartoon ended and the ending theme played, Han Muxue finally spoke softly.

Xia Qingrou awkwardly said, "It's okay, it's my fault, hehe, I talk too much..."

Another silence followed, and although Han Muxue was staring at the "Magic Girl" on the screen, her pupils were dilated, clearly not focused on the cartoon.

"In fact, that thing was very cheap, junk, you could buy several for one yuan at a small commodity market," Muxue said.

Han Muxue shrank slightly.

Xia Qingrou agreed, "Yeah, it doesn't look like anything too good."

Han Muxue continued, "That thing is too shabby, I feel like it was picked out of a trash heap."

This time Xia Qingrou just nodded, not daring to respond or agree carelessly.

Even someone with low emotional intelligence like her could see the self-mockery in Han Muxue's smile.

"Actually, I've known for a long time that it is absolutely impossible between us," Han Muxue smiled weakly, her slight frame trembling as she said softly, "No boy would truly like me."

"Xuexue, don't be like that..." Xia Qingrou's expression changed and she quickly went to comfort her.

Han Muxue indifferently interrupted her, looking straight into Xia Qingrou's eyes, and said word by word, "You know very well, I'm disabled, who would like a disabled person?"

"It's not like that, I really like you..."

"Even if a boy is interested in my looks, he couldn't possibly stay with me forever. Their interest in me is just temporary curiosity and sympathy, how could they keep dragging along this burden," Han Muxue spoke with her head buried low, fists clenched tightly as if digging into her flesh, her voice nasal as if water was in her nose, "I really envy you, I really do!"

I really envy you, being with the person I like.

"I'm sorry, I..." Xia Qingrou was flustered, naturally not understanding the other's meaning, feeling immense guilt at that moment for being a physically able person.

"You haven't done anything wrong."

Han Muxue casually threw the tablet beside the pillow, and laboriously moved down, burrowing her whole body into the bedcovers, turning her back to Xia Qingrou.

With a complex gaze, Xia Qingrou gently lay down and hugged Han Muxue's waist from behind, gently saying, "It's okay, Xuexue, you're so wonderful, you'll definitely meet a boy who truly loves you. He will also surely be outstanding and treat you well for life."

Even if I really meet him, what good would that be, he wouldn't be the one I like.

The person I've liked for ten years, he's so handsome, so outstanding, so liked by girls, he couldn't possibly like me.

Han Muxue didn't speak, just rubbed her face against the pillow, quietly wiping away the unwilling tears from the corner of her eyes.

...

In Shen Mochen's bedroom, having just bathed, he was preparing to sleep.

Because he had sat in a car for a long time during the day, he felt somewhat tired.

The room had been arranged by Cai Yuncui and was much cozier than before; her lingering scent in the air also made it significantly comforting.

Just as he was about to turn off the light, there was a knock on the door.

Who is it now, Shen Mochen thought, immediately ruling out Liu Chaoyan.

Liu Chaoyan kept an extremely regular schedule, sleeping from 10 PM to 6 AM, and unless there was a special exception, she was unshakable.

Shen Mochen immediately ruled out Xia Qingrou; she never knocked when entering his room.

Han Muxue was also ruled out because she was never polite and her knocks were always hurried and forceful, which wasn't the case now.

So, the answer was clear now. It's you again, Miss Xiao Xingshuang!

"Come in!" Shen Mochen said.

As expected, the person had those indifferent eyes.

Shen Mochen managed a polite smile. "You're looking for me this late? Is something the matter?"

Xiao Xingshuang casually closed the door and quietly walked up to Shen Mochen.

Shen Mochen couldn't help but step back.

You come to my room in the middle of the night, not sleeping, just the two of us alone... as the saying goes, under the melon field and below the plums tree, isn't this a bit inappropriate?

"Close your eyes," Xiao Xingshuang said.

"Why should I close my eyes?" Shen Mochen leaned back slightly, on guard.

According to many scenarios in novels and movies, when one person closes their eyes, the other is likely to kiss them.

You can't be serious, are you trying to steal someone's love?

If there was a reason last time, what excuse do you have this time!

Don't go overboard, youngster, it's not even winter yet, and you want to send a hat to Xia Qingrou!

Shen Mochen was somewhat nervous. "You, tell me what's up first!"

It wasn't that he was afraid of kissing Xiao Xingshuang and betraying Xia Qingrou, but messing around within the Buque Team could really lead to serious problems.

Xiao Xingshuang said, "I have something for you, just close your eyes."

Shen Mochen leaned back again. "Whatever it is, just show it to me!"

"Close your eyes first, then I can give it to you."

"You, you're not planning to kiss me, are you? I am Xia's boyfriend, you know!"

"I'm not going to kiss you," Xiao Xingshuang said flatly. "If you don't believe me, you can cover your mouth."

"Oh, is that so? Then I believe you."

Seeing her sincere face, Shen Mochen thought there was no need to be so suspicious. After all, they were comrades who would still need to get along for a while, so he closed his eyes.

Xiao Xingshuang indeed didn't kiss him, but there was a rustling sound, like clothes rubbing together.

Wait a minute, what are you doing? You're not undressing in front of me, are you? Hey, hey, hey!

For a moment, Shen Mochen felt like his heart was dying. Was his pure body going to be sullied today?

Sister, you're being unreasonable. Xia Qingrou is quite good to you, isn't outright stealing her man too excessive?

"Okay." Xiao Xingshuang signaled that Shen Mochen could open his eyes.

Was he really doomed today? Should he make some noise to draw others here?

But that would make the atmosphere within the entire team weird afterwards, and others might even start to suspect each other... And Xiao Xingshuang was about to retire, unable to transfer teams at this point.

If the atmosphere turned tense, how would they get through the next two months? Besides, Xiao Xingshuang was so capable, truly an essential pillar of the team.

If nothing else worked, he'd have to let her kiss him a couple of times to see if that would send her away—consider it a sacrifice for the team!

Shen Mochen squinted his eyes and peeked.
