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

"Ah... it's all gone to hell..." Shen Mochen muttered to himself as he lay on the bed.

What on earth had made him come up with such a crappy idea? Ever since he had returned from the grove, Shen Mochen had been questioning himself in his room.

"Fuzi, do you think I did something wrong?"

"Are you referring to a specific instance? If you're talking about dating Han Muxue out of pity, as an outsider, it's not my place to comment. But from my position, I believe it's a betrayal to my master."

"Aren't you supposed to be my master too?"

"You're only my secondary master. When my primary master abandons you, you cease to be my master."

"You sure keep a clear count..." Shen Mochen's thoughts weren't really on bantering with her as he sighed, "Actually... suddenly facing a situation like that threw me off too. It feels a bit troublesome now. I'm completely confused, it seems a bit impulsive to have acted that way."

"I understand your feelings; after all, the White Tiger girl is indeed rare..."

"What 'White'... gosh, can your mind be a bit healthier? What were you looking at? I definitely didn't think about that, okay!" Shen Mochen complained vigorously.

"I don't know what you were thinking, but I understand your tender-heartedness," Fuzi said.

Shen Mochen was quick to deny it: "It's not that, I think it was just sympathy..."

Fuzi's voice was indifferent: "You don't have to be so nervous. Such trivial matters, the master probably won't ask."

Shen Mochen sighed: "It seems you don't know your master well enough."

When Fuzi's understanding of Catherine was questioned by Shen Mochen, her voice carried a trace of offended indignation: "No, my master is a proud person. Even for her own dignity, she wouldn't ask me about your recent emotional history."

"That's why I say you don't understand your master enough. Although she's proud, she's still essentially a young girl at heart. She naturally won't directly ask you about my relationship with other women, but she will surely inquire indirectly. For example, she might feign concern for me and ask if I've encountered any trouble recently, or if any of the other women in the squad have given me a hard time..."

Fuzi fell silent; she realized that what Shen Mochen said seemed to make sense, or rather, Catherine could indeed ask her such questions.

This made her feel a bit ashamed and angry—the scumbag had only known the master for three months and yet he understood her better than Fuzi did.

Shen Mochen then asked, "So, would you cover for me when the time comes?"

Fuzi answered resolutely: "Of course not!"

"I knew it... woe is me..." Shen Mochen heaved a long sigh.

"Actually, I'm quite surprised. I always thought you would be colder," Fuzi added.

"I thought so too before, but now I've realized I tend to be swayed by soft approaches rather than hard ones..."

Shen Mochen was seriously troubled by the current situation, but why couldn't he have simply rejected her then and there? It didn't matter if she was kneeling bare before him; it wasn't he who had caused Han Muxue to do that.

This way, he was truly put in a passive position.

But then again, when he thought about her usual behavior, he really couldn't say anything more.

Han Muxue hadn't actually done anything to wrong him; instead, she had always fought valiantly to protect him.

Ever since he had arrived at base 0819, she rarely took leave, though she never stated her reasons, but everyone knew it was because she worried about him facing danger in her absence. After all, her superpower was most suited to protect guys who lacked direct combat abilities.

On the night 0819 nearly faced annihilation, it was Han Muxue who shielded him, blocking the final onslaught.

She was a good girl; Shen Mochen knew that, but he was not.

Originally, she could have stayed here happily and proudly, but it was his arrival that messed up the relationships here, shattering her self-esteem to dust today.

So what could he do now... Could he really become a scumbag, allowing what little pride she had to be crushed before him?

"What do you plan to do?" Fuzi asked somberly.

"Do about what?"

"From now on, are you not going to kiss Xia Qingrou and Cai Yuncui anymore?"

"What kiss? Don't slander me!" Shen Mochen argued vehemently, "I was just forcefully infusing them with healing superpowers!"

"Even if that's the case, you promised Han Muxue before that you wouldn't cheat. You are her boyfriend in name. Now, this means the healing for Cai Yuncui and Xia Qingrou is cut off."

"First of all, what I said was that I wouldn't cheat, but how do we define cheating? I believe as long as I don't have a physical relationship with another woman during our relationship, it doesn't count as cheating. Secondly, I have not kissed Xia Qingrou. That was her stealing a kiss on her own accord, was that my doing?"

Fuzi remarked as if she expected such an answer: "So what you mean is, the healing with Cai Yuncui and Xia Qingrou, as usual?"

Shen Mochen got up from the bed, coughing: "As long as Han Muxue doesn't find out, it's fine. So now I'm giving you a task."

"Do you want me to also keep an eye on Han Muxue, to prevent her from discovering your infidelity?"

"There you go, making baseless accusations again. This isn't cheating, okay? How can helping others be called cheating! And I'm not asking you to watch her, just make sure she doesn't find out when I'm helping others!"

"Helping others, huh... Typical of a scumbag to invent new terms."

"If you keep this up, I'll really sue you for slander! Just tell me, isn't what I'm doing with Xia Qingrou and Cai Yuncui considered helping others?"

Fuzi didn't respond to him anymore and fell silent.

Shen Mochen also felt it was pointless to argue and sighed by himself again.

Meanwhile, Han Muxue was in the bathroom, letting the tepid water pour over her, yet unable to calm down.

She had a boyfriend, her boyfriend was Shen Mochen, the one she met when she was a child... They were dating, they were together, he was her boyfriend!

Ah!

Han Muxue covered her face, still feeling hot and unable to calm down even after quite some time.

Why get so excited... He's just pitying you. Han Muxue told herself.

But why, even so, did her heart feel so happy, as if it would leap out of her chest!

Am I being too cunning? I didn't intend to date him from the start... It seems as though I'm deliberately taking advantage of his kindness.

But still, I don't want to break up with him like this.

"I really am a bad woman."

Han Muxue said to herself, head lowered.
