Shen Mochen carried Xia Qingrou out of the bathroom, and just as he had expected, no one was still in the living room.
Carrying Xia Qingrou back to her bedroom, she finally let out a sigh of relief, "Did they see us?"
"No, they were probably more embarrassed than you. They definitely knew better and gave us so space."
"That makes sense... I'm really embarrassed, but thankfully they are all so considerate. From now on, let's just go out to do it..."
Lying in the bed, Xia Qingrou tugged at Shen Mochen's sleeve and whispered.
Shen Mochen smiled, "How's your body feeling now? Do you want to help you recover?"
Xia Qingrou pouted, her legs limp and slightly rubbing against each other, "No need, what's the point? The feeling would be gone..."
"Then it's up to you. However, if we encounter a monster, I will forcibly help you recover."
"Nonsense, you don't need to say it, I would want you to do that..."
Xia Qingrou struggled to turn over and ended up lying on her stomach. Her butt hurt and it certainly felt a bit swollen.
"What do you want to eat tonight? I guess you also won't be going out," Shen Mochen asked.
"How can I go out, I've lost all my face!"
At the ntion of this, Xia Qingrou buried her face in the blanket and her smooth legs kicked weakly.
"It doesn't matter, at least the noise was less than last ti!"
"It's all your fault; you forced to shout all those random things..."
Shen Mochen laughed and gently stroked Xia Qingrou's back, "It's because you watched too many little videos and got confused about who to call 'daddy.' Don't bla everything on ."
"It's all your fault, your fault, your fault!" Xia Qingrou pounded on Shen Mochen with her fists.
"Alright, alright, alright... my fault, my fault, my fault..." Shen Mochen said with a laugh, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll bring it to your room as an apology, alright?"
Xia Qingrou humd, "Hmph... I want to drink red date and longan porridge!"
Shen Mochen cocked his head to the side, "Is that even a military ration option?"
"Yes, it's on the top layer... Ah, if only Yuncui Sister were here. The porridge she makes is much better than the reheated military rations!"
...
Leaving Xia Qingrou's room, Liu Chaoyan happened to be in the living room getting so purified water.
"Captain..." Shen Mochen greeted sowhat awkwardly.
"Shen classmate..." Liu Chaoyan straightened her hair, her face slightly flushed.
Shen Mochen coughed, "So, Xia Sister isn't feeling well tonight... we'll just have military rations."
Liu Chaoyan nodded with a smile and reached into the cupboard for the rations, "Sure, I'll heat them up. Should I include portions for both you and Xia Sister?"
"Just mine is fine," Shen Mochen scratched his head, turning his face away, "I'm really sorry for bothering you guys a bit. We will be more cautious in the future."
"Mmm, mmm... then please do."
"By the way, is Xiaoxue with you?" Shen Mochen suddenly asked.
"Yes, she's been in my room all afternoon playing gas with ," Liu Chaoyan said.
Shen Mochen looked at Liu Chaoyan a few tis, his expression unfathomable, but he said no more.
After brazenly finishing the al in the living room with the other three won, Shen Mochen quietly asked, "Captain, you have so many snacks in your room, do you have longan?"
"Yeah, I do. You can have a bag if you want," Liu Chaoyan was very generous.
After getting the longan, Shen Mochen found so red dates in the kitchen at the back and took a small pot to simr the red date and longan porridge.
"It's just making porridge, so it shouldn't count as cooking for another woman...," Shen Mochen murmured as he watched the steam rise from the little pot.
He and Xia Qingrou weren't really boyfriend and girlfriend, yet they had ended up doing that. He felt that it was normal for single and lonely n and won to do such things, you know, friends with benefits, comforting each other, and there was nothing incomprehensible about it.
But, it seed Xia Qingrou didn't think so... or rather, the attachnt she showed to Shen Mochen wasn't just seeing him as a friend with benefits.
Shen Mochen had noticed, and he felt a faint sense of regret.
In fact, he could have stood his ground, since from beginning to end it was Xia Qingrou who took the initiative, while he rely passively accommodated her wishes.
If it were soone else, he indeed could have thought that way. Shen Mochen glanced at the bracelet on his wrist and couldn't help but recall the way Xia Qingrou spoke and smiled; she was really quite lovely.
This was also his first ti being so intimate with a girl other than the Yin Family sisters, surpassing even Catherine and Cai Yuncui.
If it were Su Mo, how would he handle this... oh, he remained a virgin till the very end, with no reference value whatsoever.
After a while, Shen Mochen lifted the lid, took a spoonful to taste, and it was about right.
Carrying the porridge, he walked to Xia Qingrou's room, where Xia Qingrou was eagerly waiting.
"Why did you take so long, I'm starving..." Xia Qingrou rolled around on the bed.
"Get up and have so porridge," Shen Mochen said as he placed the dish on the bedside table and served her a bowl.
Xia Qingrou took the bowl and the little spoon, murmuring, "Why does this porridge taste different from before, has it been improved... Mmm, delicious!"
The porridge was neither too thick nor too thin, the rice was perfectly soft and sticky, and the sweetness was also just right, with the taste of longan and red dates beautifully blended into the porridge, a deliciousness she had never experienced before!
"If it's delicious, eat more," Shen Mochen said as he sat beside her.
"Yummy... ouch, hot..." With the porridge in her mouth, Xia Qingrou didn't have ti to blow it cool and rushed to put it in her mouth, getting burned but unwilling to spit it out.
"No one is fighting you for it, eat slowly," Shen Mochen said with a helpless smile, picking up a soup spoon to stir the remaining porridge in the pot to cool it down quickly.
"Mmm... this porridge is so delicious, it's even better than what Yuncui makes..." After Qingrou finally swallowed the mouthful of porridge, she clicked her tongue in delight, "How did this get so tasty, weird huh, is this really what you took from the cupboard?"
"This is... military rations," Shen Mochen said, his eyelids drooped.
He wanted to say "I made this," but for so reason, he thought to keep it a secret, not wanting to boost her feelings for him.
"Really?" Xia Qingrou took so with her spoon, blew on it, and held it to Shen Mochen's lips, "You try a bite!"
"I've had so already, you eat," Shen Mochen said with a smile.
"Hey, did you make this?" Xia Qingrou blurted out suddenly.
"Why would you ask that?" Shen Mochen was taken aback, as she unexpectedly turned out to be sharp.
"Nonsense, army rations can't be this tasty!" Xia Qingrou's eyes sparkled, a mix of surprise and delight, "Did you really cook it?"
Seeing her reaction, Shen Mochen found it hard to keep denying and half-truthfully said, "Yeah, I followed an online recipe. It's my first ti making porridge and it turned out to be quite a success."
Xia Qingrou lowered her head and smiled lightly, like the warm sunshine in June, her eyes brimming with the stars of a midsumr night.
"Hey, really not going to try so?" Xia Qingrou raised her spoon.
"You eat, I just had my al," Shen Mochen said.
Xia Qingrou licked her lips, took a mouthful of porridge, and then gently brushed against Shen Mochen's lips.
