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

The young girl's soft whisper was like a thunderclap, and as several books hit the ground, the whole classroom fell suddenly silent.

No further words were needed, the blush on Gu Yange's face seemed to reveal her intention. Was Gu Yange planning to confess to Shen Mochen?

It would take someone extraordinary for Gao Le to willingly play the subservient 'licking dog', and Gu Yange was no ordinary person.

Gu Yange, the school hunk's cousin from First Middle School, was a graceful and beautiful lady, always wearing a distinctive princess braid, lively, and adorable. Born to high-ranking officials in Yu Huai City, her family status was among the most distinguished in a school full of prestigious families.

But, was she now planning to confess to Shen Mochen, a boy with no background, no capabilities, no presence, nothing at all?

If it wasn't for Gu Yange calling him by name, most of the class would have forgotten he even existed!

Everyone present instinctively held their breath, anticipating what would happen next. Shen Mochen was also frozen in place at the doorway, and the entirety of Senior Year Class A fell into an eerie silence.

"Excuse me."

Just then, a girl walked calmly over to them, nonchalantly breaking the silence. Her light golden hair stood out distinctly among the sea of black, her eyes as clear and blue as the sky, and colder than usual.

Her posture was upright, noble like a princess. She appeared unblemished, the word carried no derogatory connotation with her. She was so detached; she seemed not to care that the school beauty of Class C seemed to want to confess to a nobody, an event that would generally cause a stir.

Shen Mochen glanced at her and quickly stepped aside, "Sorry, sorry!"

Gu Yange also quickly glanced at her, bit her lip, and gently grabbed Shen Mochen's hand, shaking it, "Let's talk somewhere else!"

After saying this, not allowing any objections from Shen Mochen, Gu Yange pulled his hand and headed outside the school building. Shen Mochen silently followed her, offering no resistance.

Regardless, it was not a good idea to pull back and forth with Gu Yange in public.

…

"I'm sorry, I can't date you."

In a shadowed corner behind the school building, Shen Mochen bowed apologetically to the girl in front of him.

Gu Yange tilted her head, "Why?"

Shen Mochen rubbed the back of his head, smiling awkwardly, "Um… I don't plan to date anyone at the moment… Gu Yange, you must be quite popular, why would you suddenly want to date someone like me?"

"Because it was love at first sight!" Gu Yange stepped forward, suddenly lifting Shen Mochen's bangs.

Shen Mochen instinctively stepped back, but it was too late.

Gu Yange clearly saw the face under his bangs and smiled, "You're really handsome, why hide that face?"

At this point, Shen Mochen was honest, touching his bangs, "I transferred here just to study, I didn't want any trouble."

Gu Yange nodded, her voice carried a determined arrogance, "I see… I know it's tough for you, but if you're with me, no one will dare to mess with you."

"I thought Gu Yange had someone she liked?" People said Gu Yange had feelings for her cousin, the influential school hunk of First Middle School. Whether true or not, it was still an excuse.

"Yeah, I used to like my brother, but I don't anymore, I like you now." Gu Yange nodded frankly, "There's nothing between him and me, he has a fiancée, an Awakener serving in Buque… ah, but don't tell anyone, he doesn't want people to know his private matters!"

If he didn't want anyone to know, should you be telling me this?

"Okay, I won't tell anyone… But I really don't have any plans to date anyone at the moment, I'm really sorry!" Shen Mochen looked as though he was honored by the lady's favor, but felt truly undeserving.

Gu Yange was indeed wonderful, fair-skinned, beautiful, with a great figure and a wealthy family. An ordinary person getting involved with someone like her could easily save two decades, or even more, of struggle.

"But the problem is, if you don't like someone, you just don't like them. If you don't want something, you simply don't want it." Shen Mochen did not have the courage to accept every beauty that came his way.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yange pushed him against the wall.

"What other reason do you have for rejecting me?"

Having been rejected repeatedly, Gu Yange became angry, her face flushing with anger.

She felt her fondness for Shen Mochen should be a favor, not a reason for his constant rejections!

"This woman is really troublesome," Shen Mochen lamented internally, but who could stop her now... His mind racing, he put on an embarrassed expression and stammered, "Actually, I have someone else I like."

"Who?" Gu Yange asked, holding her head high.

"Catherine,"

Shen Mochen replied.

Gu Yange was startled, the image of the blonde girl flashing through her mind.

"I like Catherine… no, I love her! I love her to madness! I dream about her every night, dreaming of kissing her a thousand times! My love for her penetrates to the marrow of my bones, I would give my life for her!"

Shen Mochen became more and more agitated as he spoke, gesticulating wildly with his hands and feet.

His loud voice startled the sparrows under the nearby tree shade; they fluttered up, only to slowly settle down again.

Gu Yange stared intensely at Shen Mochen, trying to find any sign that he was lying.

Unfortunately, Shen Mochen was not as honest as he appeared; his acting was vivid and convincing, leaving Gu Yange unable to spot any flaws.

"You're truly sick."

After a long silence, Gu Yange finally let go of Shen Mochen.

"But that's Catherine, after all."

Shen Mochen said softly.

It wasn't strange for anyone to like Catherine, even if that person was a girl.

Gu Yange bit her lip, her eyes despondent, then suddenly turned and left: "So boring, so boring! Forget it, I won't trouble you anymore! It's not that big of a deal!"

She tried to stand straight, but she still looked like a defeated dog fleeing with its tail between its legs, her declaration of surrender sounded so feeble.

Shen Mochen breathed a sigh of relief, watching Gu Yange disappear from his view, thinking he had finally gotten rid of the nuisance...

"Oh—so that's what happened."

But before he could calm his emotions, the worst possible person appeared beneath the setting sun—the blonde girl, with a playful smile on her face, slowly approached the corner behind the academic building.

Her pale golden hair was nearly silver-white, her blue eyes as clear as lake water, her skin as pale as milk.

Her features were exquisitely detailed, as if sculpted by a master artisan, every curve flawless. Her figure was so startlingly attractive that it could make any young man gulp!

Compared to her, Gu Yange seemed so ordinary, like a firefly to the bright moon.

Yet upon seeing her, Shen Mochen screamed in terror, flattening himself against the corner, his face as white as a ghost, as if he had seen something even more horrifying.

"Ca-Ca-Catherine…"
