"Ugh, those two are at it again."
Next door, Shen Mochen, picking at his toes, stared at the computer screen and murmured helplessly.
Of course, he was just saying that. Those two arguing, or rather, Xia Qingrou being scolded, was a good thing. The more awkward their relationship, the more polite they were.
His hands struck the keyboard clumsily. Since he hadn't owned a computer before, he had only learned to type in the past two years. And since he seldom used it, he was very unskilled. It was only recently that he had started using it again.
During this period, he had been in contact with quite a few male Superpower Users. Guys always found it easy to chat and hit it off. Shen Mochen had even made plans with many of them to have a al together when they next had a vacation.
When he was free, Shen Mochen would also chat with Catherine, but it seed that Catherine was quite busy. Shen Mochen didn't want to bother her too much. He could sense that she might be in trouble, and all Shen Mochen could do was help Fuzi recover as quickly as possible and then have her return to Roman to assist Catherine.
Ti passed, and when Shen Mochen glanced at the clock, it was already very late. He was just about to go to bed when the alarm rang again.
Shen Mochen imdiately put on his shoes and rushed out of the room, and the others had already co out.
However, unlike everyone else who was dressed, Cai Yuncui had hurriedly stripped naked.
"Don't look!" Xia Qingrou reached out to poke Shen Mochen's eyes.
Shen Mochen didn't react in ti and covered his eyes with a wail, while Cai Yuncui blushed, wanting to show concern for Shen Mochen.
Xia Qingrou snorted, "Don't worry about Sister Yuncui. His superpower is healing - he won't die!"
Cai Yuncui nodded slightly. Seeing Shen Mochen covering his eyes, she felt both embarrassed and amused.
She thought, serves you right for always ogling my body, now you're being punished!
"I'll go ahead then!" She quickly went outside, transford into a giant bird, and soared into the sky.
Liu Chaoyan picked up a walkie-talkie and smiled slightly, "I'm worried that Sister Cai won't be able to handle it alone. I'll go help her first. You three hurry up and co over."
"I never dreamt I'd have to work overti during the separation month..." Han Muxue muttered, "I'll have to take another bath when I get back."
"No worries, we can take a bath together when we co back!" Xia Qingrou cheerfully pushed Han Muxue's wheelchair towards the back of the house.
"Stay away from !"
"I told you, I was sleepwalking!"
"I don't believe a word you say!"
Shen Mochen followed the two, helping Han Muxue into the back of the pickup truck, while Xia Qingrou climbed into the driver's cabin to drive.
"By the way, I noticed Sister Cai didn't take a walkie-talkie earlier. Isn't that dangerous?" Shen Mochen struck up a conversation with Han Muxue.
"Aren't you her dearest little brother? Shouldn't you be concerned?" Han Muxue's tone was odd, "After her Beastification, her hearing and vision are magnified countless tis. She can hear what we're saying even without a walkie-talkie. Besides, with her size, carrying a walkie-talkie would be inconvenient."
"I see!" Shen Mochen nodded. The sumr nights were hot, and he began to sweat after just stepping out for a short while.
"Are you hot?" Shen Mochen asked.
"Aren't you hot? Oh right, of course not, since dead pigs don't fear boiling water!"
"It really is tough to be out and about this season. Xiao Xingshuang got comfortable, left at the hottest ti. I heard that Roman's sumrs are cooler than here."
"Anyways, my vacation starts tomorrow, so you guys keep up the good work on shift... Originally, the three of us in Muxue would have been enough, but Xiao Xingshuang just had to leave at this ti, making us all frantic. It even forced us to change our vacation plans!"
Han Muxue gnashed her teeth resentfully, but her face conveyed sothing else. It wasn't a complaint, but a somber complexity.
"Xiao Xingshuang said before she left... she was very grateful to you all. She always had a hard ti getting along with others, and it was you who accepted her," Shen Mochen said softly.
"Hmph, what does that have to do with ? She's probably just thanking Captain Xia Qingrou and Cai Yuncui. I'm not even nice to her!"
Shen Mochen pursed his lips and smiled, the distant sky tearing open with a ferocious crack.
About 20 minutes later, everyone triumphantly returned.
Liu Chaoyan sat in the passenger seat of the pickup truck, with Shen Mochen and Han Muxue still in the back. Cai Yuncui had transford into a bird less than two ters long, guiding everyone from the front.
"Xia Sister seems to be getting more and more impressive lately, truly reliable."
Inside the cabin, Liu Chaoyan chuckled lightly.
Xia Qingrou's face dodged slightly, "Ahem... naturally, with no thoughts of n, drawing the sword cos naturally... n only slow down my archery!"
"If Shen heard that, he might feel sad."
"Why would he be sad?"
"Shen probably still likes you."
Xia Qingrou huffed, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly as she waved her hand in a carefree manner, the poise of an elder. "Whether he likes or not is none of my business, I didn't ask him to like . Let tell you, Yanyan, girls need to be free-spirited. Toads with two legs are hard to find, but n with two legs are everywhere! Don't worry about him!"
Liu Chaoyan's face carried slight admiration, "Xia Sister is truly carefree. I wish I could be like you."
Xia Qingrou burst into laughter, "Hahaha, take it slow, you're still young!"
"Heh..." In the back, Han Muxue suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong?" Shen Mochen asked.
"Nothing, just suddenly felt like there was a dumb dog barking sowhere... probably my imagination."
...
Upon returning ho, Shen Mochen was imdiately rushed into the bedroom and wasn't allowed out until Cai Yuncui redressed.
Of course, 'redressed' simply ant putting on a T-shirt and pants.
"Xiaoxue, go take another shower in the bathroom, shall we?" Cai Yuncui suggested with a smile to Han Muxue.
"Hmm." Han Muxue casually agreed.
Xia Qingrou cracked again, "Why can't I go!"
Han Muxue replied with a cold face, "Your suspicions haven't been cleared, you better behave these next few days!"
Xia Qingrou could only look solemn.
Shen Mochen sat on the sofa, idly watching TV, waiting for the bathroom to be available.
He wasn't particularly fastidious—in fact, having grown up poor, he didn't shower very often, but living in a girls' nest required a different standard. Being too unkempt wouldn't look good.
Everyone had already showered once, and this ti it was just a quick rinse. Cai Yuncui and Han Muxue ca out of the bathroom. Maybe it had been a long ti since she had bathed with Cai Yuncui, for she seed to be in a good mood, gently humming a tune.
Shen Mochen turned the volu down on the TV and turned his head, "What song are you singing? It's quite nice."
"None of your business!" Han Muxue huffed as she wheeled her chair to Cai Yuncui's room.
Cai Yuncui followed behind, winking at Shen Mochen and whispered, "That's a song Xiaoxue composed herself, you know. Xiaoxue is amazing. She sings super well, and all the songs are her own creations!"
