You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 33 - 31: New Desk Mate, New Atmosphere

The classroom was extraordinarily quiet today, at least when Shen Mochen walked in.

Classmates invariably turned their gazes on him, the previously ignored nobody now forced into the spotlight.

The news was leaked by Gu Yange’s best friend, and now nearly the entire senior class 3A knew that Shen Mochen had rejected Gu Yange’s confession.

Although Gu Yange was somewhat proud and imperious, she was still one of the top beauties at First Middle School, always into her looks, which had many boys pining for her.

But she actually confessed to the unremarkable Shen Mochen, and he rejected her! It’s said that after being turned down, Gu Yange cried her eyes out, couldn’t eat all weekend, and lost a noticeable amount of weight, truly pitiful.

Shen Mochen, you truly are a great sinner!

The students’ gazes followed Shen Mochen to his seat with a complex mixture of expectations, waiting for a Hero to step forward.

"Hey, what’s going on, exactly?"

Liu Bo’s deskmate nudged him; after all, in the class, perhaps only Liu Bo and Shen Mochen had a decent relationship.

"I don’t know."

Liu Bo looked innocent. He had just texted Shen Mochen about the incident, not expecting Shen Mochen to be so nonchalant. Could it be that he was unaware of his current situation? Their group leader Gao Le was Gu Yange’s loyal puppy. Moreover, Liu Bo had already keenly sensed a certain ominous atmosphere forming in the classroom.

"Where’s the homework?"

Gao Le was the first to speak up, turning to look at Shen Mochen with a cold gaze.

Shen Mochen silently passed the homework over, having already braced himself for Gao Le’s attitude.

Gao Le took the homework and carelessly tossed it; Shen Mochen’s homework flew off his desk, hitting the floor. Gao Le went to pick it up, then placed a foot on the workbook, leaving a shoe print.

"Sorry, my hand slipped," Gao Le said with a smile to Shen Mochen.

Shen Mochen felt some anger, but he merely bowed his head, pretending not to notice.

The onlookers’ stares became even more complex, some sympathetic, but most just watching the drama unfold.

Indeed, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. The luck of Saturday night had come back to bite on Monday. Shen Mochen let out a helpless smile internally. He sneaked a glance at Catherine, but she didn’t seem to notice his plight, instead focusing on doodling on her study tablet, her pale golden hair covering most of her face.

To this extent, any girl would likely be disappointed with her boyfriend’s cowardice.

But this was okay, let her grow to detest him, and then she’d take the initiative to break up... Damn it, how can you endure this? Though I’ve made a mistake every man could make, I’m still your boyfriend!

This isn’t about slapping my face, it’s an insult to you! Class leader, couldn’t you protect your boyfriend a little?

Shen Mochen entertained himself with some self-deprecating thoughts like Ah Q for a bit, but he knew it was just wishful thinking. Just the rumor with Gu Yange was enough to bring him to this state; if people found out he was dating Catherine, he’d probably have to transfer schools to keep safe.

He reached into his desk to grab his books for class, but he was startled by a damp touch. Bending down to check, he saw someone had stuffed a wet rag in his desk, soaking all his papers and books!

Shen Mochen instinctively looked towards Gao Le, who seemed to have sensed it too and turned, smiling at Shen Mochen.

"I’m telling you, don’t get smug with me. The good days are still to come," Gao Le said, giving Shen Mochen thumbs up, then slowly turning it downward.

His eyes radiated hatred, and although he had already taken revenge on Shen Mochen, his lips still trembled slightly with anger. It would have been fine if Gu Yange had only ever yearned for Zhao Yuji, but did Shen Mochen deserve it? Why should he!

"Please rearrange your seats according to the seating chart I’m distributing!"

At that moment, the class monitor, Catherine, sent a seating chart to the whole class on their tablets, stood up, walked to the podium, and projected the seating chart onto the blackboard, looking down at everyone from her elevated position.

The soft sunlight accentuated her fair skin, making it even more translucent and clear.

The classroom instantly became noisy as everyone either looked at the digital blackboard or their own tablets, and began moving desks... Though they remembered the homeroom teacher saying they were supposed to move desks after school in the morning, nobody questioned Catherine’s command at this time.

Once she took her place at the podium, she was like a general under the blazing sun, her beauty and power unparalleled, and the soldiers naturally followed her orders.

Shen Mochen glanced at his own tablet and saw his seat hadn’t changed; it was still in the last row at the corner, right in front of the trash can. Fortunately, Gao Le was gone, now seated far away from him, and his former deskmate had been switched with Liu Bo.

Not bothering to look further, Shen Mochen exited the seating chart.

Life sure had a way of mixing fortune with misfortune; having Liu Bo moved next to him felt like a small compensation. As long as he didn’t talk to him during class and disturb his listening, it was alright.

He was now just bothered that some of his books and notes were wet, thanks to Gao Le, the bastard. What did this have to do with me? Do you think I wanted Gu Yange’s confession?

I’m helpless too!

The one who rejected you was Gu Yange, the one who made you cry was Gu Yange; you’ve got the wrong person to hate! It’s not like I forced you to be a lapdog!

If your family didn’t work at the Gaotang State Court of Appeals, I would beat you up eight hundred times a day!

"Hand in the homework according to your old groups. This morning, each group will choose a new leader, and report to me before the afternoon classes."

Catherine finished her instructions with a smile and walked back to her seat, moving it in the process.

Then why didn’t we just follow what Mr. Xun had said and switch places after the morning classes were over? Shen Mochen inwardly criticized Catherine’s arrangement.

He leaned on his desk, only to suddenly see Catherine dragging her desk closer and closer to him until it stopped right beside him.

"C-C-Catherine..." Shen Mochen looked at his new deskmate, shocked, leaning against the wall and shivering.

"How many times have I told you, my name is Catherine, not ’C-C-Catherine,’ and you’re supposed to call me Kajiena."

Catherine seemed quite pleased with Shen Mochen’s startled expression and let out a light sigh, her lips curving slightly upward.

"You... why are you sitting here?"

Shen Mochen looked frantically at the seating chart on the blackboard, and saw the words "Old Ye" next to his name.

Shen Mochen froze, then his face filled with even more panic. The nickname "Old Ye" had never been used in the school before; it was a unique label Shen Mochen had given her. The question was, how did she find out?

Furthermore, she must have tampered with Mr. Xun’s original seating arrangement!

"Such a coincidence to be seated near our class president!" At this moment, Liu Bo dragged his seat over, seeing Catherine and wearing a look of pleasant surprise.

"Good morning, Liu Bo," Catherine replied with a smile.
