Chapter 244 238 Love at First Sight
"Not late at all!" Before Xia Qingrou could speak, Xia Yusi immediately stood up and took Shen Mochen's hand, "You must be our boyfriend, I knew it was you as soon as I saw you!"
"What do you mean 'our'? Don't make it sound so ambiguous, okay, I'm your sister's boyfriend!"
Shen Mochen subtly sized up this woman who, according to Xia Qingrou, was like a devil. As Xia Qingrou's older sister, although her looks were slightly inferior, she was not to be outdone by the likes of Liu Chaoyan and others.
She wore a beige short crop top that crossed in the front, and somewhat paradoxically added a small cardigan with sleeves, seemingly covering most of her body, yet just leaving a peek of her firm, milky cleavage.
Her lower body was dressed in a tight-fitting skirt that hugged her round buttocks, the tight fabric drawing a faint indentation on her shapely thighs. She wore a pair of round-toe, peep-toe heels.
Her innocent face was painted with alluring, subtle makeup, yet these seemingly contradictory features merged perfectly on her.
Summer hadn't officially arrived yet, but it was already being represented on this woman.
While shaking hands with Shen Mochen, a subtle fragrance emanated from her, not at all like the overwhelming scent of artificial perfumes, but rather a natural, citrusy sweetness, similar to her sister.
Quite upscale, thought Shen Mochen to himself.
"Haha, hello, second sister, my name is Shen Mochen."
Shen Mochen's gaze involuntarily lingered for a second or two on her chest and waist; he forced himself to look away, directly into her face.
Xia Yusi looked at Shen Mochen with a radiant smile, gently biting her lip, "Why call me second sister, just call me little aunt!"
???
Shen Mochen chuckled awkwardly, pulling his hand away, "Second sister is older than Qingrou, right?"
"Yep, that's why the eldest sister is the big aunt, and I'm the little aunt!"
This explanation seemed perfectly reasonable!
"Let's order some food instead of just standing here," Xia Qingrou grabbed Shen Mochen, her face showing resentment as she glared at him.
Xia Yusi chuckled, "Just saying hello to our boyfriend, why be so stingy."
"He's my boyfriend…" Xia Qingrou corrected softly, pulling Shen Mochen down to sit next to her.
"Xia Yusi has always liked to snatch my things, she dressed so provocatively today, definitely trying to seduce you and take you away. You have to stand up for me, even if you have to pretend. I'll reward you when we get back. I'm much prettier than that bitch Xia Yusi, right?"
Shen Mochen sat next to her, ordering food, while Xia Qingrou rapidly tapped on her phone. As soon as Shen Mochen finished ordering, the text had reached his phone.
Shen Mochen glanced at the message, then looked at Xia Qingrou, who was also staring at him. She seemed to be glaring, warning him not to be seduced by Xia Yusi, but also trying to throw him flirtatious looks, indicating she was the better choice.
The former was heartfelt, the latter forced. But the mix of these completely different emotions made it look like her eyes were cramping.
Shen Mochen found it somewhat amusing and nodded gently, indicating he understood. Then he gently caressed Xia Qingrou's eyes, asking softly, "Why did you take off your glasses?"
"She took them," Xia Qingrou gestured with her mouth towards Xia Yusi, her phone resting on her lap.
At that moment, another text message arrived on his phone, sent by Xia Qingrou. It was a picture of her bare thighs, and just a little further inside was a zone off-limits to men.
Shen Mochen subconsciously closed the image and glanced at Xia Qingrou, whose eyelids were drooped and face was slightly flushed.
"The two of you are really sweet, isn't it? Texting and whispering to each other."
Xia Yusi sat across from Shen Mochen, her expression a mix of laughter and nonchalance.
"Sorry, it's indeed impolite of us." Shen Mochen apologized with a smile, switched his phone to silent, and put it away.
Xia Qingrou pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Qingrou, why aren't you speaking?"
"What's there to say…"
Shen Mochen frowned slightly; something had seemed off about her since he had arrived, and now he was sure—Xia Qingrou was really not her usual self.
Usually, Xia Qingrou was a chatty, cheerful girl, optimistically buoyant and somewhat like a campus queen, but now she was as quiet as if she were a shy, socially anxious young girl.
What's going on here? Are you that afraid of your second sister? How are you going to get your revenge like this!
Xia Yusi blinked slowly, her soft hand lightly resting on Shen Mochen's hand, "Brother Shen, don't mind her. She has always been a silent type, rather dull. You must find it boring being with her, right?"
"Huh?"
Shen Mochen looked strangely at the quiet Xia Qingrou. Could it be that the Xia Qingrou from the team was someone else?
"Brother Shen, are you a local from Yu Huai?" Xia Yusi asked, supporting her chin with one hand, smilingly, while gently stroking the back of Shen Mochen's hand with the other.
"I guess you could say I'm a local of Yu Huai." Shen Mochen withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly.
Having a stunningly attractive older sister like Xia Yusi touch him was not unpleasant, but since he was Xia Qingrou's boyfriend, he needed to exercise some restraint.
"Not bad at all, the economy of Yu Huai City is pretty good, ranked among the top five in the country." Xia Yusi wasn't offended and kept smiling while she talked to Shen Mochen, "Our family is quite strict. I'm almost twenty-one and haven't had a boyfriend yet, and it's the same for the eldest sister. I didn't expect the youngest sister to beat us to it."
Shen Mochen chuckled, "Second sister is so beautiful, there must be many guys chasing after you. Getting any boyfriend you want must be a piece of cake!"
"Brother Shen, you really know how to sweet talk…" Xia Yusi covered her mouth and giggled, "But love is all about fate. There are some people who could chase after me every day, bring me gifts, and whisper sweet nothings, and I still wouldn't like them. Yet, there are others whom I fall for at first sight."
Speaking of which, Xia Yusi leaned forward slightly, her eyes sparkling with laughter, like a pool of spring water: "Brother Shen, do you believe in love at first sight?"
This damn vixen, am I dead or something, flirting with my boyfriend right in front of me! She's as shameless as she ever was!
Xia Qingrou was furious in her heart, just about to pinch Shen Mochen to remind him not to be seduced, when she saw Shen Mochen affectionately looking at her, sweetness in his eyes, "I do believe, I fell in love with Qingrou at first sight."
Both women were startled. Xia Qingrou, who had already reached out, involuntarily gently placed her hand on Shen Mochen's leg, softly squeezing, not knowing if it was her way of acknowledging his compliment.
"Is that so." Xia Yusi's eyes shifted slightly, and then she was all smiles again, "Such a smooth talker, no wonder my little sister likes you so much, I can see why now."
