You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 504 - 486

Shu Lingyun faintly woke up, only to see the face of that vixen first, which immediately soured her mood.

"Where is Big Brother?" Shu Lingyun looked around, and there was no one in the bedroom but Xia Qingrou.

"Come eat now that you're awake," Shen Mochen as he opened the door.

"Is this the bed Big Brother sleeps in?" At that moment, Shu Lingyun realized the most important issue at hand.

"Yes, you must be hungry by now, come down for food. We don't have much at home, I'll make some stir-fried instant noodles; it'll be ready soon," Shen Mochen said indifferently.

Shu Lingyun flopped back onto the bed pitifully, "My head feels so dizzy, I want to lie down a little longer!"

"Then sleep a bit more," Shen Mochen nodded, gesturing for Xia Qingrou to follow him out and not to disturb Shu Lingyun.

After Shen Mochen and Xia Qingrou left, Shu Lingyun buried her face deep into the blankets.

This is the bed Big Brother slept in, these are the blankets he used... Big Brother's scent smells so good.

She hugged the blankets, rolling around on the bed as excited as a monkey that just entered the Immortal Peach Orchard.

After rolling for a while, Shu Lingyun kissed the pillow and quietly got out of bed.

After getting out of bed, she tried to make the blankets neat, wanting to leave a good impression on her brother... but since she had never done housework at home, her arms were sore by the time she barely managed to make the bed.

She rubbed her eyes and walked out of the bedroom, pretending to have just woken up.

"What do you want to do?" In the living room, Xia Qingrou asked softly.

"What do you mean by 'do'?" Shen Mochen's eyelids were drooping.

" She's your sister, are you going to acknowledge her?"

"What difference does it make whether I acknowledge her or not?"

Xia Qingrou was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up, "Whatever, I'm leaving; don't come to me if there's anything in the future!"

Shen Mochen grabbed her hand, chuckling, "Why are you suddenly angry, what did I do to provoke you?"

"In your heart, what exactly am I? Your plaything? Your vase? Your venting tool?" Xia Qingrou turned around and stared straight at him, her eyes slowly reddening.

"How could I possibly think of you like that!"

"Then why do you always lie to me and pacify me? Am I not worthy of hearing your true feelings? Am I not worthy of communicating with you on equal terms? What do you regard me as, I too... wish to get closer to you!"

To avoid waking Shu Lingyun, she deliberately lowered her voice, yet even so, her words were emphatic.

Shen Mochen's face turned slightly red, and he lowered his head, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Xia Qingrou did not speak, stubbornly turning her face away.

"I really am sorry, at worst let me kiss you as an apology!" Shen Mochen gently shook Xia Qingrou's hand.

"Get lost!" Xia Qingrou shrugged her shoulders and huffed heavily.

"I'm sorry, just listen to what I have to say," Shen Mochen steadied Xia Qingrou, pushing her onto the couch and explained softly, "I don't even know what to do myself right now... these things are very hard to talk about."

Still, Xia Qingrou remained silent.

"I don't like that person at all. If she came to me, I definitely wouldn't pay her any mind... But this Shu Lingyun, after all, is just a child. She doesn't understand anything... I can't really blame her. But there's still this anger inside me..."

Xia Qingrou finally started to speak, licking her lips, "Do you feel like she has taken away your mother's love?"

Shen Mochen hugged Xia Qingrou and sighed softly, "Before I met her, maybe a little. But I don't know how to say it, when I met her, I couldn't help but want to get close to her... I've said before, they are all just strangers with blood ties, but now it seems like I'm not in control... I've actually started to crave familial love, which wasn't like me before... so I feel very awkward, very embarrassed. My heart is a mess, and I don't know how to face it... it's like I can't convince myself." freēwēbnovel.com

Xia Qingrou's eyes shifted, and she pursed her lips.

"I get it. You just can't let go of your pride," she said.

"Probably," Shen Mochen admitted to Xia Qingrou, "You don't know, I hated her so much when I was a kid, I simply can't forgive her now, and I don't want to."

"I used to dislike my sister when I was little too," Xia Qingrou slowly started, "I know it's not the same as your situation, but what I mean is, you can continue to dislike your mom and ignore her. But you shouldn't punish yourself for her mistakes, you should reconcile with yourself."

"I am not giving myself a hard time..."

"You are giving yourself a hard time. Your mom is your mom, your sister is your sister, they really aren't the same thing. How does hating your mom relate to taking care of your sister? Why would accepting your sister mean forgiving your mom? Taking care of your sister and ignoring your mom aren't contradictory! You're just being stubborn with yourself."

"I'm not trying to be stubborn, I just... can't let go..."

"I know, but you shouldn't be so indecisive, you're the one who bluntly talks about opening a harem with a thick skin! You still don't get it, taking care of your sister just shows you are loving and loyal, it doesn't mean forgiving your mother... And if anyone insists you forgive your mother, I'll be the first to disagree!"

Xia Qingrou tried her best to console him, knowing that deep inside, Shen Mochen had always longed for the love of his blood relatives, which he hadn't received and thus had been unable to let go all these years.

When they were dating, she could feel the loneliness hidden inside him—although Shen Mochen's mood had improved much by now.

So, she once thought of talking to Shen Mochen's mother, Wu Wenyue, but now, with a more suitable person involved, Wu Wenyue was no longer necessary.

"I get your point," Shen Mochen was silent for a long time and then smiled, "I accept your comfort, but I still need to work through this by myself, and I will."

"Good, that's good!"

Shen Mochen exclaimed, "I never thought I would end up being lectured by you."

Xia Qingrou grinned and pinched Shen Mochen's arm, baring her teeth, "What do you mean by that?"

"Come on, to thank you, let me give you a kiss!" Shen Mochen puckered up playfully.

"Get lost, no way!"

Shen Mochen teased, "Why, you don't want to regain your superpower?"

Xia Qingrou was startled, her face turning bright red, and angrily said, "You were pretending to be asleep all along!"

"Duh, how else would I help you regain your superpower... Oh, oh, even though we're broken up, you still took advantage of me when I was asleep..."

"Forget it!"

Xia Qingrou pounced on Shen Mochen fiercely, looking terrifying.

"You really are a terrible person, stealing a kiss from your best friend's boyfriend," Shen Mochen continued to tease her.

Xia Qingrou, blushing and near tears, could only pummel Shen Mochen while sitting astride him.

"Brother, what are you guys doing..."

Shu Lingyun, who walked out of the bedroom, was stunned.
