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

Alas, I feel like I forgot something!

On the ride back to the squad, Shen Mochen slapped his forehead.

He had promised Liu Bo to have dinner at his house; forgetting that wasn't a big deal, but he remembered that he was supposed to meet an idol, a plan he totally forgot because of Catherine's matter.

Well, inadvertently standing someone up like that—though it was all because Liu Bo didn't remind him. Now, he was a jinx, and Liu Bo couldn't have avoided him fast enough.

He wondered if Liu Bo had explained it to the person, Shen Mochen thought.

He wasn't particularly interested in the female star, although female stars generally have a significant appeal. However, he didn't have the time to consider it now. Just kidding, even the most powerful girl from the Roman Empire was his girlfriend (fake), a mere star certainly didn't hold such allure.

However, by kissing Catherine, he further confirmed that lighting up stars didn't require the other person to be a superpower user.

That is to say, kissing ordinary people could also light up the stars.

The criteria further narrowed, and the commonalities of those girls who helped him light up stars became even fewer.

At least they were all genuinely fond of him and exceptionally beautiful. Not to mention, at least Fei Yumo and Cai Yuncui, among others, were on the same level in terms of appearance, and as it seemed, they also had a liking for him.

Hmm, it seemed like he missed an opportunity…but no matter the reason, since the other party could ask him out the first time, they could naturally invite him a second time, and Liu Bo definitely wouldn't give up that easily.

Next time we meet, I will try to win her over... Actually, there's no need to win her over, just having her voluntarily kiss me would suffice.

Although it was a bit unfair to Liu Bo, they weren't really anything to each other anyway. Consider it a compensation for him pretending to be him and talking with the idol for so long.

He previously asked me not to go too far with Fei Yumo, at least not before the concert, which indicated he didn't mind us making some deeper connections… Or rather, he deemed it within his acceptable limits.

Shen Mochen opened Liu Bo's social media to see his last post:

How to handle standing someone up? Sigh, does anyone know how to placate a girl?

Shen Mochen thought for a moment and typed a line of text and deleted it.

He believed that all his chat records were certainly dug out by higher-ups. Maintaining a distance at this time didn't make much sense. But there was no need to scare him, given he was quite timid.

Thinking about Fei Yumo caused Shen Mochen to recall Han Muxue.

Han Muxue seemed to harbor deep hostility towards this idol, and it wasn't because she supported a rival... It seemed, they knew each other.

But Shen Mochen had met Fei Yumo before, and though she also seemed somewhat thoughtful, she didn't seem bad.

Forget it, there's no need to think too much.

Right now, the priority was to find ways to awaken the remaining superpowers. When he could control all superpowers, then he could seriously consider the future.

According to past patterns, there should be at least two people who could help him awaken his superpowers as of today—one was Han Muxue and the other Liu Chaoyan.

Liu Chaoyan probably was no longer possible, but Han Muxue was fascinated with him. If he liked the idea, it should be relatively simple.

But… do I really want to provoke Han Muxue?

Shen Mochen didn't even know what his future held. At least Yin Caiyu, Xia Qingrou, and Catherine were people he didn't want to let go, and he also had an unwillingness to let go of Cai Yuncui.

Engaging Han Muxue further might be too much, especially since she was a close friend of Xia Qingrou and Cai Yuncui.

Hmm, it's probably better not to provoke her. If he could heal her leg in the future, it wouldn't be a waste of a comradeship.

Shen Mochen's mind flashed back to the day when he had pinned Han Muxue beneath him, her face flushed with anger and shyness. It's a pity indeed, he thought. If only he had kissed her back then.

"Now, I'm seen as a scum in her eyes, someone who can be replaced by anyone. But, this is the path I chose, so I can't blame others."

It seems that since Xiao Xingshuang left, Sentinel 0819 should be welcoming a new member soon. Perhaps, I can try something on the new recruit... What am I thinking?

No matter how one looks at it, it's hardly likely that the new recruit will be a one-in-a-million super beauty. I need to be careful not to fall into an emotional entanglement.

The official car dropped Shen Mochen at the Sentinel Station, where a motorcycle had already been parked on the side. It was facing away from him, likely brought by a teammate from 0819 to pick him up.

"Let's go!"

Shen Mochen climbed onto the motorcycle and wrapped his arms around the rider's waist.

After Xiao Xingshuang departed, the only one from 0819 who enjoyed riding motorcycles was Xia Qingrou.

But as he held the person, he immediately noticed something was off—this wasn't Xia Qingrou.

He was intimately familiar with every inch of Xia Qingrou's body, and this didn't feel right. The person's waist was slightly slimmer than Xia Qingrou's, and their chest felt denser.

Most importantly, the scents didn't match.

This wasn't the citrus scent of Xia Qingrou, but instead a delicate fragrance of aromatic herbs.

In the next moment, Shen Mochen released his grip and almost subconsciously jumped off the motorcycle.

"What's wrong, Shen?"

The rider lifted their helmet, revealing themselves in a white dress, an ethereal aura about them, smiling gently like a lotus.

"Team leader... I'm really sorry, I mistook you for someone else," Shen Mochen said with an awkward chuckle, raising his hands in embarrassment.

"No worries. Let's go home, it's quite hot today," Liu Chaoyan curved her eyes, patting the seat behind her.

"Sure." Shen Mochen carefully sat on the back seat of the motorcycle.

"Not holding on?" Liu Chaoyan chuckled lightly.

"It's okay, I'll just hold onto the seat cushion below," Shen Mochen replied, gripping the seat cushion under his buttocks.

Liu Chaoyan smiled slightly without saying more and slowly pulled the throttle.

The midday heat of early summer was intense, but the breeze created as the motorcycle sped was quite comforting. Moreover, perhaps due to the other's superpower, Shen Mochen felt enveloped by a particularly cool breeze mingled with the fragrance of a young girl.

Shen Mochen asked a bit more loudly, "By the way, team leader, why did you come by motorcycle today?"

"The car's air conditioning broke, it was too hot!" Liu Chaoyan explained.

"I see, I see," Shen Mochen responded.

Liu Chaoyan added, "Oh right, I was the one who asked Xia not to contact you. I told her you were on a secret mission and couldn't receive calls or texts."

Shen Mochen nodded, "I guessed as much, thank you."

The night before he wreaked havoc at Catherine's engagement ceremony, it was Xia Qingrou's last phone call that helped him make up his mind. Even though she didn't know the specifics, she would definitely call to check up afterward.

But Shen Mochen had been particularly unbothered these days, so he realized it was Liu Chaoyan who stopped her.

Liu Chaoyan's actions were undoubtedly the right choice, and Shen Mochen felt somewhat grateful.

Of course, this also meant that she knew what he had done.
