"Achoo!"
Shen Mochen sneezed.
"Caught a cold?"
"I feel like someone's bad-mouthing me..."
"By a girl you dumped?"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't make baseless accusations! I might look like a ladies' man, but I'm a decent guy, you know. I haven't been with a second girl... cough cough, I mean, I hadn't dated a second girl before you!"
Catherine bowed her head and stomped hard on Shen Mochen's foot. Aware of his slip-up, he kept his indignation to himself.
Fortunately, she was wearing sneakers today, so it wasn't too painful.
Shen Mochen cleared his throat, "Actually, it could also be that someone is jealous and talking behind my back."
Catherine, eating her bun with a lack of enthusiasm, replied, "Is that so."
"Look, my girlfriend is the most beautiful woman in the world, and she even drives a luxury car. Which man wouldn't be jealous of me? They're bound to say bad things about me behind my back!"
