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

"You pig, how long do you plan to sleep? The sun's already shining on your butt!"

Yin Caiyu stomped on Shen Mochen, who opened his eyes with a yelp and saw Yin Caiyu standing on the bed, looking down at him with a smile playing on her lips.

"It's barely dawn, and it's the weekend, too!" complained Shen Mochen weakly, glancing at the early morning light.

"I'm leaving tomorrow morning, and you're still not getting up early to hang out with me!" Yin Caiyu's face was flushed as she put a bit more pressure on her foot, looking energized.

With his hand on his forehead, Shen Mochen sighed weakly, "I know, you go ahead and wash up; I'm getting up."

Yin Caiyu stepped off, hopping down from the bed, "Hurry up, don't dawdle. Time is money, young man!"

Shen Mochen chuckled, then saw Yin Caiyu's back as she fastened her bra, "Oh, right, the reward is given, don't say I don't keep my promises!"

Yin Caiyu huffed and walked out of the bedroom, casually taking the tissues from the room with her.

Shen Mochen lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, thankful she remembered last night's conversation. However, I'm not some pervert; what kind of reward is this? Besides, can you really call it stepping if it's over a blanket!

Shen Er, you really have no pride; getting all excited just from her stepping on you? Don't tell me It's just a morning thing!

The worst part was, Yin Caiyu, how am I supposed to leave now that you've taken the tissues? Do you know how important tissues are to a teenager!

...

"Why did you only come out now?"

Yin Caiyu, who had been lounging on the sofa with her phone after washing up, lazily glanced at Shen Mochen. He took over twenty minutes to come out of his room, quite a dawdler.

"Aren't you going to change your clothes?"

Shen Mochen headed straight for the bathroom, grumbling. It's all because of you that I can only face people now!

"I didn't want to suddenly barge in and disturb you," Yin Caiyu giggled mischievously as she went back to her room to change, her words dripping with sarcasm.

You took all the tissues; what could I possibly be afraid of you disturbing? Shen Mochen furiously squeezed out the toothpaste, convinced she did it on purpose!

Having calmed down, he decided to make breakfast, but didn't bother with much due to his irritation—just whipped up some shrimp fried rice and cut some vegetable salad.

"Hmm, shrimp fried rice again?"

Yin Caiyu entered the kitchen, attracted by the aroma. Shen Mochen glanced at her and ignored her. Coughing, she poured two glasses of milk and served the rice.

The two sat down to quickly finish their breakfast. Shen Mochen, holding the plates, walked to the kitchen to wash them. "Where do you want to go today? You've been talking about Tianhong Amusement Park, and it's opened."

Yin Caiyu watched his back, licked the milk from around her mouth, and shook her head, "Let's not, the amusement park will be too crowded on the weekend. We won't get to enjoy many rides, just queuing up. I have to leave tomorrow morning"

Shen Mochen didn't think much of it, and continued washing, "That's fine, we can always go when you come back after retiring."

Yin Caiyu silently smiled, softly humming an agreement.

After tending to the household chores, Shen Mochen came out to find Yin Caiyu applying makeup in front of the bathroom mirror, her hand trembling with an eyebrow pencil.

Shen Mochen laughed, "Why have you suddenly started doing makeup?"

Yin Caiyu glared, setting down the eyebrow pencil, "What, can't I wear makeup? I'm a radiant 18-year-old, can't I want to look beautiful?"

"I never said you couldn't, but watching you apply makeup, something seems off. Are you feeling feverish today?"

"What did you say?"

Shen Mochen picked up the hairspray next to him and started styling his hair, smiling, "No, I mean, you are naturally beautiful. Makeup only tarnishes your beauty!"

Whether Yin Caiyu really was so beautiful as not to need makeup was debatable, but she certainly wasn't suited to applying it herself. She had absolutely no experience, and her skills were terrible. Her foundation was unevenly spread, and her eyeliner looked odd, as if she were wearing a mask that didn't fit.

Yin Caiyu carefully examined herself in the mirror and frowned. She realized that her makeup looked awful, but her competitive spirit made her want to try again.

She continued dabbling with various bottles and jars on her face, "Are you really just wearing that today?"

Shen Mochen looked down at himself, a white hoodie paired with black casual pants — simple yet versatile.

"Yeah, what's the problem? Speaking of which, you insisting I wear my school uniform last time we went out really screwed me over!"

"How did I screw you over? Can't someone who hasn't been to school experience a date between students? I'm in the prime of my life at eighteen!"

"Well, people from our school saw me, and all sorts of bizarre rumors started spreading."

"What rumors? That the whole school is trying to find out who the handsome guy in the school uniform is?"

"It's not that exaggerated in reality, but the direction of the rumors is getting more and more ridiculous... by next week, I'll probably have become an alien."

Shen Mochen hummed, having finished fixing his hairstyle, his bangs parted in such a way that at least his eyes were visible.

"Let them talk. What does it have to do with you? Did anyone recognize you?"

Yin Caiyu sharply caught the crux of the matter and turned to look at Shen Mochen with a half-smile.

Shen Mochen tensed up and told himself to stay calm and not give anything away, "Yeah, a girl from Class C somehow figured it out and even confessed to me!"

"Oh my!" Yin Caiyu clicked her tongue, "I bet she wasn't pretty; otherwise, you definitely would have accepted!"

"Cut it out. She's the class belle!" Shen Mochen walked out of the bathroom and scoffed, "Ugly people are still putting on makeup, while handsome ones are already good to go!"

"Beat it!" Yin Caiyu lifted her leg to kick him, but Shen Mochen dodged with a playful grin. Yin Caiyu then looked at her messed-up makeup in the mirror, frustrated to no end, and decided to give up completely and wash her face.

"That makeup isn't new, huh? Where did you get it from?" Shen Mochen leaned in for a closer look.

"It's my fellow comrades', I don't usually wear makeup, just borrowed theirs for a bit." Yin Caiyu checked the mirror for any spots she missed while cleaning.

"Just make sure you take it when you leave; that brand looks quite expensive."

"Oh, there's no need to return it."

Shen Mochen cocked his head, "Hmm?"

Yin Caiyu paused, then explained as she walked out, "Oh, they are rich, they gave it to me. Let's go!"

The two headed downstairs and pushed open the rusty iron door of the building.

It was already light outside, the air slightly cool and the thin mist gentle. The morning sunlight filtered through the greenery at the doorway, casting their shadows in fragmented silhouettes.

"The weather forecast said it's going to rain tonight, but I bet it's going to be wrong again!" Yin Caiyu yawned.

Underneath, she wore a white tank top, paired with a light blue denim crop jacket which revealed her flat stomach and attractive abs. Her shoulder-length hair sparkled in the bright sunshine, her face radiant.

Shen Mochen couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

"What are you staring at? Did I sweep you off your feet?" Yin Caiyu teased with a flash of mischief in her eyes.
