You are all bad women! Don't come over!

Han Muxue was playing with her phone in the living room when Shen Mochen came back to the dorm, the TV still on but the volume was low. Liu Chaoyan sat on the sofa, reading a book.

"Xuexue, have you finished taking a bath?" Xia Qingrou saw Han Muxue had changed clothes and wailed as she pounced on her.

"Stay away, you're all sweaty, it stinks!" Han Muxue pushed her away in disgust.

"Where does it stink? You smell so good!" Xia Qingrou pulled her collar open, sniffed, and laughed shamelessly.

"Then I'll go take a bath first."

Shen Mochen whispered this to everyone and went back to his room to get clothes.

"Hubby, do you want to bathe together?" Xia Qingrou hurried over.

Shen Mochen nodded, "Then, Sister Xia can use the big bathroom, and I will use the small one!"

Xia Qingrou was stunned for a moment, then stomped her feet in annoyance, "I said bathe together, not at the same time! You're so clueless! This is the beauty of Room 0819 inviting you!"

Shen Mochen just smiled and didn't say anything. After he had taken his bath, Liu Chaoyan and Han Muxue were no longer in the living room, presumably, they had returned to their own rooms.

However, the light in the living room was still on, deliberately leaving one lamp lit. Faint sounds of water could be heard from the bathroom on the other side, so Shen Mochen did not turn off the light and returned to his bedroom.

After a day of training, Shen Mochen texted Cai Yuncui to check in and briefly described his day.

Cai Yuncui also chatted with him for a few sentences, her tone as usual, but their communication was limited to text, not even voice messages.

However, Cai Yuncui was able to joke about Shen Mochen and Xia Qingrou now, even reminding Shen Mochen not to let Xia Qingrou down and to treat her well, or else she would be unhappy.

Shen Mochen thought to himself that he still didn't know what Xia Qingrou thought. Spending time with her today, he had a feeling that something was off. Does she really like me?

Knock, knock, knock, the door was tapped.

Opening the door, Shen Mochen saw Xia Qingrou dressed in casual leisure wear, freshly bathed, exuding a youthful fragrance.

"What's up?"

Shen Mochen was somewhat cautious, though he doubted Xia Qingrou's feelings, he still worried she might force herself on him.

Xia Qingrou squeezed into the room and shut the door behind her.

Seeing this made Shen Mochen more anxious, he stepped back, "Don't mess around, okay? The sound insulation here might not be very good, and the captain is right across from my door!"

Xia Qingrou looked serious, "Today, did you look up Yanyan's skirt?"

Shen Mochen was taken aback, then said, "I didn't mean to look, she flew up and I just saw, plus she was wearing leggings..."

"No need to explain, I know how boys are... Hand over your hand!"

"What are you going to do?"

Xia Qingrou urged, "Give me your hand, quick!"

Reluctantly, Shen Mochen extended his hands. Xia Qingrou held something tightly in her hand, then solemnly placed it in Shen Mochen's hands.

Shen Mochen looked down and was stunned to see a pair of red hollowed-out panties, still warm from a girl's body heat.

Shen Mochen was dumbfounded, "This..."

"You're the boyfriend, hey. Why would you seek others when you could come to me? It really hurts me!" Xia Qingrou's face showed hurt, her eyes blinking, seeming about to cry, "From now on, you're not allowed to look at anyone else's panties, just mine!"

Shen Mochen tilted his head, feeling overwhelmed by the situation before him.

"I know you're lonely on your own, so take this and use it, and don't cheat, okay?" Xia Qingrou patted Shen Mochen heavily on the shoulder, her face full of generosity, then turned and left, leaving Shen Mochen standing there in disarray.

What the hell!

After Xia Qingrou left, Shen Mochen carelessly threw the underwear on the bed, feeling humiliated. Using someone else's underwear, am I that kind of sleazy person?

But Shen Mochen didn't want to argue with Xia Qingrou. He hastily finished chatting with Cai Yuncui and sent Catherine a message, speaking offhandedly.

Actually, he didn't intend to send a message to Catherine. Their relationship was simply not that simple... but it seemed Catherine had gotten close with Cai Yuncui. If she knew how happily he chatted with Cai Yuncui and ignored her, she would definitely feel unhappy.

He waited a little longer, picked up Xia Qingrou's underwear, and walked to her room door, knocking.

A crack opened in Xia Qingrou's door. She peeked out, somewhat surprised, looking at Shen Mochen. "What's up, want to sleep together?"

Shen Mochen silently returned the underwear. Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire

"Did you finish using it that quickly?" Xia Qingrou said in a surprised tone; it had been less than ten minutes.

Then, she scrutinized Shen Mochen, especially glancing a few times between his legs.

Did he finish using it that quickly?

Hearing Xia Qingrou's words, Shen Mochen felt a wave of humiliation; it seemed his manly prowess was severely underestimated. He was being looked down upon!

He wanted to retort something, but opening his mouth, he just hummed softly.

Whatever!

"Don't tell anyone about this," Shen Mochen said helplessly, hanging his head and turning back to his room.

Xia Qingrou and Cai Yuncui were close, and he certainly didn't want Cai Yuncui to know. Nor did he want Liu Chaoyan to know.

Besides, he hadn't done anything; it would be too unjust to be wronged by others.

As Shen Mochen left, Xia Qingrou closed the door again.

"Embroidered pillow."

Xia Qingrou didn't even look at the underwear in her hand, and directly threw it into the trash can, her gaze indifferent.

The night grew deep, a pale blue moonlight pouring through the window like water into the room, silently flowing over the bluestone floor. Shen Mochen was somewhat unable to sleep.

His mind was filled with many things, thoughts entangled.

The dorms of the Buque were situated at a node, also at risk of monster attacks. Hence, each Buquer's bedroom has two doors, one being a normal room door, the other a big iron door that could lead directly outside the room.

However, that thick iron door couldn't be opened from the outside; it was only an emergency exit in case of sudden situations.

Shen Mochen got up, pushed open the door and stepped outside, picking up a stone to prop against the big door.

The moonlight was perfect, the air fresh. The nightscape here was much more beautiful than in the city, without other noises and light pollution.

Having taken a few breaths of air outside, just as he was about to return to the room, Shen Mochen suddenly heard some strange noise.

It didn't sound like a natural sound, it appeared to be coming from the back of the kitchen near the shed.

Shen Mochen didn't know who it was, but at this time, members of the small team should all be sleeping.

His vigilance, developed from childhood in the slums, made him alert instantly. He quickly activated his superpower. He had copied the superpower of everyone in team 0819. Although it was only 30% as powerful as the original, it would be extremely easy to kill if the other was just an ordinary human.

Not knowing who it was, nor whether they were friend or foe, Shen Mochen tiptoed to the back of the house, being extremely careful, afraid to make any noise prematurely.

Behind the house, some unknown vines climbed up the poles to the shed, the moonlight gentle, casting long shadows of everything in the world.

The kitchen light was on, and between it and the shed was a small stove, with firewood burning inside, the flames flickering in the night. On the stove sat an iron pot, and a graceful figure was there, frying some food.
