You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 51 - 49 Gu Yange Returns
The classroom was inexplicably quiet as everyone observed Shen Mochen’s reaction. Gao Le sat at his desk, casually reading a book with the corners of his mouth slightly turned up in a smile. Read exclusive chapters at novelbuddy
Catherine had arrived early, propping her cheek up in boredom, and gazed at Shen Mochen with a smirk that seemed to say, "Look, this is what happens when I don’t help you!"
Shen Mochen looked coldly at Gao Le, then lowered his eyes and bent down to pick up his chair. The smile on Gao Le’s face grew even wider.
"Who did it?"
Suddenly, a girl’s shrill voice echoed from the classroom doorway.
Everyone looked up to find a long-haired girl with a princess braid storming into the classroom in a fury.
"Who did it?" The girl came to Shen Mochen’s side and stood, head held high, scanning the crowd.
Gao Le forced an ugly smile and quickly stood up, "Yange, why are you in our class…"
Gu Yange glared at Gao Le, "Was it you?"
"No, no, it wasn’t related to me!" Gao Le’s face changed color, naturally not daring to admit it.
Gu Yange stared angrily at Gao Le. She guessed it was highly probable that this was Gao Le’s doing, but with him denying it and without evidence, there was nothing she could do. Arguing or causing a scene would not only be fruitless but also make it difficult for Shen Mochen.
"Hmph!"
Gu Yange snorted coldly, refusing to entangle with him further. She bent down to help Shen Mochen pick up his books.
"Are you okay?"
As she gently smoothed out the folded pages, Gu Yange’s eyes lost their haughtiness, and her voice held a tone of gentleness and timidity.
"I’m fine, thank you."
Shen Mochen smiled softly.
Gu Yange looked at the scattered books and the messy shoe prints on the floor, and her eyes couldn’t help but redden: "It’s all my fault, dragging you into this mess!"
Shen Mochen, still arranging his books, continued to comfort her, "It’s okay, you don’t need to blame yourself."
However, Shen Mochen’s kindness only made Gu Yange feel worse, and she muttered her apologies, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, let me help you pick them up…"
More and more students from Class A entered the classroom, casting an increasing number of glances at Gao Le. His face turned beet red. Everyone knew how long he had chased after Gu Yange without as much as a second glance from her. Yet now, she was bending down to pick up books with a boy.
Her face showed shyness she’d never shown him, and her voice held a gentleness he’d never heard directed at him.
Gao Le was about to explode. The day before, he had soaked Shen Mochen’s books, only to unintentionally pair him up with Catherine for a day. Today, after overturning Shen Mochen’s desk and trampling on his books, it only drew Gu Yange’s sympathy further.
He glared at Shen Mochen with hatred, feeling a boiling rage inside, churning incessantly!
He envied Shen Mochen’s luck; he resented the stares of his classmates!
But before Gao Le could erupt, it was Catherine who stood up first, looking down on the two from her high position: "Gu Yange, this is Class A, not Class C. Class will start soon, so please go back to your own class."
Gu Yange turned her head and glanced timidly at Catherine. Although she was also well-known at the school, she couldn’t compare with the "Princess."
Moreover… Gu Yange looked at Shen Mochen again, and her heart sank. She knew Shen Mochen liked Catherine.
She glanced again at Catherine, the oppressive aura of the apex of Junlin First Middle School instinctively made her feel awe. Normally, she should’ve meekly slunk away by now.
But, with Shen Mochen by her side, she seemed to have mustered a great deal of courage. She stood up, looked at Catherine, and bit her lip as she said, "You are the class president, right... Shouldn’t you intervene? This is clearly someone targeting him on purpose!"
"I think he probably doesn’t need my help, and besides..." Catherine raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised by Gu Yange’s small defiance. She placed her hand on Gu Yange’s shoulder and said with a light laugh, "His business... it’s none of your concern, right?"
You’re impressive, you’re amazing! Isn’t it all just because he likes you...
Wait a second, does Catherine know? She probably doesn’t, right? Shen Mochen doesn’t seem like the type to talk about such things! Yes, she must be unaware. She’d better be unaware!
Gu Yange bit her lip; indeed, she had no reason to stay here. She squatted down again and wrapped her arms around Shen Mochen.
"I’m sorry, okay..."
Gu Yange stood up and glanced at Catherine again, then walked energetically to the lectern and shouted to the class below, "If you have an issue, come at me, don’t target Shen Mochen. What are you doing sneaking around like that, are you ashamed? I’ll be around often from now on, and if I catch anyone bullying Shen Mochen, I won’t let them off!"
Finishing her speech, Gu Yange was even taken aback by her own bravado, thinking that Shen Mochen must be touched by her actions... She glanced down at him, only to find that Shen Mochen wasn’t looking at her; instead, Catherine had taken her place and was helping to pick up his books.

Gu Yange’s spirits deflated, and she left Class A grumpily, so hastily that she twisted her ankle and nearly knocked into the door.
"Let’s help out, too..."
After Gu Yange left, a group of people with complex expressions thought about coming to help. Of course, they weren’t swayed by Gu Yange’s scolding to have a conscience, they were simply there to assist Catherine.
"No need, class is about to start. Go back to your seats."
Catherine waved them off, declining the offer from everyone.
Shen Mochen stroked the bent corner of a book, burying his head even lower.
Regardless, Catherine was still his girlfriend. Gu Yange’s actions just now would not sit well with any girlfriend.
As expected, Catherine soon whispered with a soft chuckle, "After her causing a commotion, Gao Le is probably going to hate you even more."
Shen Mochen kept his expression steady, calmly saying, "It doesn’t matter. No matter how much hatred there is internally, it’s irrelevant."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
As Catherine smoothed out a book, she placed it on Shen Mochen’s desk and gave a meaningful, slight smile, "You seem to be quite defensive of her."
Shen Mochen’s heart thudded loudly, calm down, stay calm. Girls are all like this; now is not the time to panic!
"Did you enjoy it just now? The ’hug of love’ she gave you? Gao Le is probably dreaming of the same thing."
Before Shen Mochen could think of a response, Catherine spoke up again. Her face remained cloudless, nudging Shen Mochen with her elbow, her teasing smile as if sharing some private joke only they understood.
However, while her smile was full of sunshine, those clear eyes were utterly cold, like the skies over Roman, at the far southern reaches. Tens of degrees below zero, where opening a window could freeze someone solid.
"Taking advantage of the situation to cop a feel, huh? There were plenty of girls who did that before, pretending to be upset and then finding an excuse to hug me. Some even wanted to kiss me. If it weren’t for my extensive experience dealing with them, they really would’ve gotten their way!"
Shen Mochen shivered involuntarily. He turned his head to look at the trees outside the window, wondering where the female driver from last night could possibly be hiding.
He truly feared that if Catherine gave the order, she would burst out and shoot him!
