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

Chapter 32 Revenge

Liu Bo instantly broke into a grin, probably because it was the first time Catherine had been so friendly to him; he wore a look of honor."Class Monitor, how come you're sitting in the last row?" Liu Bo continued to ask.

In his memory, she had always sat around the third or fourth row in the middle of the classroom, which was basically the "golden seat" of a class.

"Because I want to sit here."

Catherine gave Shen Mochen a slight smile, her tone so matter-of-fact:

Shen Mochen kept his head down, thinking, can't you just speak without always looking at me?

The seating was quickly adjusted, and Catherine's new spot became a topic of discussion in the class. People came up to her, concerned, to ask why, and all the answers they got were sincere nonsense like, "Because I want to."

It had always been cold and quiet around Shen Mochen, but now, thanks to Catherine, there were suddenly many more people around him. He thought to himself, true to form for Catherine, even shrinking into a corner like him, she was still the center of attention in the crowd.

Of course, Shen Mochen had had his days in the limelight too, and he felt no envy in his heart; he preferred the quietness he had now.

What was somewhat unexpected was that, although the whole class had spread the news about Shen Mochen and Gu Yange, and the classmates seemed to care, very few actually came to ask him about what had happened. At most, they would ask a question or two and leave when they didn't get an answer.

The atmosphere was strange. Although he had been ignored before, today, it felt like there was a deliberate exclusion at play.

He had experienced a similar situation of being outcast as a bystander. Back then, at Fengye Middle School, Yin Huailian had just passed away. Coincidentally, there was a girl in his class who bore a slight resemblance to Yin Huailian, and unconsciously Shen Mochen had felt close to her. As a result, that girl was quickly ostracized by her classmates.

As far as Shen Mochen knew, there was no premeditation or organization behind it back then; it was just that a few influential girls in the class bad-mouthed her a little, and everyone formed an ostracizing atmosphere as if by agreement. Once this mainstream atmosphere took hold, it was like a thousand-pound weight, pressing everyone to subconsciously abide by the unspoken rule.

So he distanced himself from that girl, then deliberately grew closer to the three who had initiated her ostracism. Sometimes he'd dine and chat with A, at times explain problems to B, sometimes walk home with C, eventually causing the three to become jealous of each other. This led not only to a falling out but escalated to gang fights, resulting in all of them being placed on school probation.

Thus, Shen Mochen was well acquainted with this subtle atmosphere of ostracism. Could it be Gao Le's doing again? Shen Mochen looked toward Gao Le in the distance, who was staring back at him provocatively, his gaze carrying a threat.

It was possible... Though Gao Le was fairly popular in the class, he may not have had such influence. But even if it wasn't him, the reason for his ostracism was probably still because of Gu Yange.

Soon the class bell rang, and everyone returned to their seats. The first period was math class with their homeroom teacher, Ms. Xun, who walked into the classroom in her figure-hugging pencil skirt, exuding grace and femininity.

"Eh... the seating was changed ahead of time, huh?"

Ms. Xun entered the classroom, took a look at the unfamiliar setup, and after a two-second pause realized she hadn't walked into the wrong class. However, she didn't dwell on the premature seat changing issue, not until her eyes
