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

Chapter 264 264: 258

In the evening, Xia Qingrou answered a call from Xia Yusi.

"My second sister is leaving," Xia Qingrou said.

"Where is she going?" Shen Mochen closed his book.

"Back to school, leaving tonight by plane," Xia Qingrou bit her lip. "She's such a liar, she promised to stay in Yu Huai for several months!"

"Let's go see her off," Shen Mochen chuckled.

"No!"

"But I am your perfect boyfriend, right? We should see it through to the end. Your sister is leaving, it'd be rude not to see her off."

Xia Qingrou thought about it, silently stood up, glanced at Yin Caiyu on the hospital bed, and whispered, "Then let's go."

Shen Mochen nodded, smoothed the corner of Yin Caiyu's blanket, and followed Xia Qingrou out of the hospital.

When they got to the airport, the sky was darkening and it started to drizzle. Xia Yusi was already there, pushing a small suitcase. It seemed she never planned to stay long in Yu Huai.

Upon seeing them, Xia Yusi waved her hands: "Oh, this company sucks, and the boss is a dirty old man. The moment I walked in, his eyes were glued to my chest. I'd rather do an internship at home!"

"I knew you were lying again," Xia Qingrou pursed her lips.

"What, you're going to miss me?" Xia Yusi hugged Xia Qingrou tightly, grinning ear to ear.

Xia Qingrou turned her face away, her eyes reddening: "Who's going to miss you? You're delusional. Just go, I've had enough of seeing you!"

Xia Yusi laughed aloud: "It's your fault for not coming home; I can't pressure you to retire now. After all, with such a handsome boyfriend, what if someone swoops in once you retire?"

Xia Qingrou pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Next time you come for the holidays, bring Shen Mochen home for dad, mom, and our eldest sister to meet," Xia Yusi said.

"...I'll consider it," Xia Qingrou murmured softly.

Xia Yusi released Xia Qingrou and touched her stomach: "Hey, I haven't eaten dinner yet, sis, go buy me a couple of burgers!"

Xia Qingrou reluctantly turned and headed for the distant fast-food restaurant: "Always bossing me around..."

Shen Mochen wanted to follow, but Xia Yusi held him back.

"She hasn't been home for two years, make sure she comes home this time," Xia Yusi said.

"I'll try my best," Shen Mochen nodded.

Man, I'm just a temporary boyfriend, and she's expecting too much. Wait, that makes it sound like I'm for sale.

"I don't know what she's upset about..." Xia Yusi watched Xia Qingrou's retreating figure and sighed softly, "Shen Mochen, when you have time, you must investigate for me!"

"Sure," Shen Mochen nodded.

"Actually, I planned to stay here about a week, but I have things to handle at school, and..." Xia Yusi hooked Shen Mochen's arm, "You are such a good guy. I feel so relieved leaving my little sister with you!"

Shen Mochen smiled slightly: "So, I've passed your inspection?"

Xia Yusi patted Shen Mochen's chest, giggling: "That's right, the Xia Family welcomes you! Would you mind being admitted into our family?"

Shen Mochen couldn't care less about his family's demise, his dignity, or his name... but it was a time for jest.

Xia Yusi winked and elbowed him playfully, like an eager salesman: "Hey dude, join our family and it's buy one, get two free—plus an eldest sister and youngest sister waiting for you! Us three sisters have quite similar tastes, you know!"

Shen Mochen scratched his head and laughed it off: "Second sister, don't tease at a time like this."

"Besides, it seems like your sister Qingrou doesn't even like me that much! Your move lacked any attraction!"

"Hahaha, you're quite interesting, you know! Hey, what did your little sister tell you before you came to see me? Did she say you had to behave yourself and not let me steal you away?"

"Second sister, you truly have divine foresight."

Xia Yusi smiled triumphantly, but then she shook her head and laughed mysteriously, "It looks like she won this time. The little girl has really grown up, she must be feeling quite proud now!"

"I think she probably isn't feeling proud right now," Shen Mochen suddenly said.

"Eh?" Xia Yusi cocked her head.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Mochen, watching Xia Qingrou walking towards them with a bag of hamburgers, spoke softly.

"I think she actually didn't want to win against you this time but wanted to reassure you."

Xia Yusi was taken aback.

Shen Mochen continued, "She knows you are all worried about her, so she asked me to make a good impression on you so you'd know she's doing well and not worry about her. That's probably her real intention."

"Did she tell you that?" Xia Yusi's eyes flickered.

"No, it's just my guess," Shen Mochen smiled.

Xia Yusi couldn't help but reveal a relieved smile, "Little sister has grown up..."

Finally, Xia Qingrou returned, handing over the hamburger to Xia Yusi. Xia Yusi happily accepted it and then quickly pecked Shen Mochen on the cheek.

"Hey, you!" Xia Qingrou was both shocked and angry.

"Thank you for keeping it a secret, and I appreciate your help with what I asked before!"

Xia Yusi gave Shen Mochen a mischievous grin and ran towards the ticket check-in like a breeze.

"Brother-in-law..." At the boarding area, Xia Yusi touched her mouth and chuckled mysteriously, "Actually, our tastes are quite similar... Too bad, he belongs to little Rou."

"Let's go," Shen Mochen said as he watched Xia Yusi's figure disappear, pulling Xia Qingrou's hand.

"Wait a second." Xia Qingrou took out a tissue from her bag and vigorously rubbed the spot on Shen Mochen's cheek where he was kissed, as if she was erasing a terrible stain.

Shen Mochen, feeling the relentless force of Xia Qingrou's hand, couldn't help but mutter, "Is that really necessary?"

Xia Qingrou glared at him, "Are you enjoying this secretly? Let me tell you, she did it just to annoy me. Do you think she really likes you?"

"I didn't think that, and please be gentler, my face is almost raw..."

"Man up!"

...

Leaving the airport, the sky grew darker, like thick ink. The light rain continued, with a cool breeze blowing askew.

"Sigh..." Xia Qingrou sighed deeply.

"Do you miss your second sister?"

Xia Qingrou watched raindrops hit the colorful umbrellas on the roadside and licked her lips, "Maybe... even though I really dislike her..."

Shen Mochen tilted his head, "Then why haven't you gone home for so long? Whether by plane or train, it doesn't take that long, right?"

Xia Qingrou was silent for a long while as car horns and various lights mixed in the rainy night, creating a chaotic scene.

"Let me ask you a question. What do you think my life would have been like if I had never awakened my superpower? Or say now that I'm retired, what should I do next?"

Xia Qingrou asked gently.
