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

Shen Mochen listened to Xia Qingrou's ranting behind him, feeling a bit unnatural. It was one thing with just Han Muxue around, but why say these things in front of Liu Chaoyan too?

But then he quickly thought that Liu Chaoyan had nothing to do with him, and it was rather boring to care about the young mistress. He was just an ordinary person... but then again, Shen Mochen remembered his superpower, which should totally qualify him for her.

While washing up, Shen Mochen let his thoughts wander. Originally from the lowest rungs of society, even the knowledge of possessing a heaven-defying superpower didn't significantly elevate his state of mind.

Those who he used to look up to still instinctively commanded his respect. He really envied Su Mo, that kid who started out as a detestable capitalist, born in a super powerful nation, with a much broader perspective from the beginning than his own.

But he only had one willful sister, while Shen Mochen had sisters. Thinking this way, it seemed he wasn't so much less fortunate... if they were still around.

After finishing washing up, Xia Qingrou cheerfully called Shen Mochen to come out and eat.

"Did you make breakfast again?" Shen Mochen approached as if facing a great adversary.

"Trust me, the breakfast this time will definitely be fine!" Xia Qingrou rushed over and hugged Shen Mochen, acting coquettishly.

Shen Mochen glanced over and saw that Han Muxue and Liu Chaoyan were also seated at the dining table, eagerly looking at him. The three exchanged glances; nothing was said, and yet everything was communicated.

Liu Chaoyan blinked, "I was thinking of trying to cook, but Xia sister told me she was sure that there would be no problems…"

"I trust her too, so you guys go ahead and eat," Shen Mochen said with a polite smile, turning to leave, "I just remembered I haven't washed my face properly, let me go and wash up!"

"You can't go!" Xia Qingrou clung desperately to Shen Mochen, crying and acting spoiled, "Just eat and show them, I promise it's delicious! If you don't eat, they won't dare to!"

Shen Mochen was dragged along, unable to move, the corners of his mouth twitching. Sighing inwardly, he conceded, alright, if I don't enter hell, who will? I'll consider this repayment for that fragrant kiss just now!

Approaching the dining table, Xia Qingrou diligently served Shen Mochen a bowl of porridge, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and then brought it to his lips.

"Hubby, ah~"

Shen Mochen looked at the porridge and then at the blister on Xia Qingrou's index finger. With the spirit of Shennong tasting all herbs, he opened his mouth.

A spoonful of fragrant and sticky salty porridge entered his mouth, and Shen Mochen solemnly nodded at the other two eager pairs of eyes, "Pretty good, edible."

"Yay! I told you so!" Xia Qingrou cheered triumphantly, her eyes filled with excitement, like a child who got a perfect score for the first time.

With reassurance, Han Muxue and Liu Chaoyan began to eat their porridge.

"I'll cook lunch today!" Xia Qingrou thought pridefully, filled with boundless enthusiasm.

Liu Chaoyan was still hesitant, but Shen Mochen said to her, "Captain, let Xia sister cook. If all else fails, we can always eat military rations."

Liu Chaoyan gave a light smile, "Alright, then please go ahead, Xia sister."

Having said that, she took a gentle sip of the porridge, eyes flitting between Shen Mochen and Xia Qingrou, and said with a grin, "It seems like you two have gotten quite close all of a sudden, did something happen last night?"

"No, no, no..." Shen Mochen quickly denied.

Although something did indeed happen between them, admitting it would also be weird. The question was too suggestive, as if implying that the two had done something naughty while everyone else was asleep.

Xia Qingrou wrapped her arms around Shen Mochen's neck, pressing her chest directly against his face, "He's my boyfriend, of course he speaks for me, isn't it natural?"

"Shameless." Han Muxue muttered under her breath in response to Xia Qingrou's brazen daytime declaration, but she didn't scold loudly, simply eating her meal.

Today's buns were steamed just right, at least fully cooked. After seeing Shen Mochen eat one, Han Muxue also picked one up and stuffed it into her mouth.

After breakfast, Liu Chaoyan still wanted to take Shen Mochen for training, and this time Xia Qingrou didn't accompany them, opting to stay to prepare lunch.

"Then let's all go in the car together this time," Liu Chaoyan said with a smile, "Shen student, do you need to get ready for anything else?"

Shen Mochen strapped a walkie-talkie to his arm in the living room, "Then the captain and Muxue can go ahead to the garage and wait for me, I'll be there in a moment."

"What's up, how long will you take?" Han Muxue frowned.

"Just going to the bathroom, it'll be quick," Shen Mochen said with an apologetic smile.

"Lazy donkey turning the grindstone, hurry up!"

Han Muxue and Liu Chaoyan went to the garage first.

After the two left, Shen Mochen chuckled and didn't head to the bathroom, but instead walked over to Xia Qingrou.

"Does your hand hurt?" Shen Mochen asked.

"A little," Xia Qingrou looked up at Shen Mochen, pouting slightly.

"Then give it to me," Shen Mochen reached out his hand.

Xia Qingrou obediently nodded and placed her hand in Shen Mochen's.

Holding Xia Qingrou's hand, with a glimmer of firefly-like green light, the blister on Xia Qingrou's hand healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing Xia Qingrou's fingers restored, Shen Mochen gently let go, "Be more careful when cooking next time. Why didn't you come to me when you burnt your fingers last night?"

Xia Qingrou giggled and touched her hair, "I was afraid you were asleep!"

"Even if I was asleep, it's okay. It must have hurt a lot getting burnt, right?"

"Not anymore," Xia Qingrou touched the previously burnt spot on her finger, still giggling.

"Then I'll be going. Be careful when you make lunch."

"Don't worry, it's all good!"

Xia Qingrou waved her hand, but just as Shen Mochen was about to reach the door, she suddenly said, "Wait a moment."

"What's up?" Shen Mochen turned and asked.

Xia Qingrou quickly stepped forward and kissed Shen Mochen on the corner of his mouth, her smile tender and sweet, "You be serious in your training too!"

"Wow!"

At that moment, Liu Chaoyan drove up to the entrance, just in time to witness their intimacy, and chuckled teasingly.

"Take good care of my hubby!" Xia Qingrou giggled and waved to the two in the car.

Watching the three of them gradually move away, Xia Qingrou returned inside the house. In the moment she turned around, she touched her lips, her expression indifferent.

The next day was still filled with training. Although it was tough, Shen Mochen had no complaints. After all, Liu Chaoyan was considering his life.

Xia Qingrou also took on the responsibility of the squad's meals, and while her cooking skills were still debatable, at least the food was edible.

After having dinner back in the dormitory that evening, Xia Qingrou eagerly volunteered to take Shen Mochen for night training, and Liu Chaoyan and Han Muxue consciously chose not to be a third wheel.

But just like the day before, after Xia Qingrou led Shen Mochen to an unfamiliar place, she left him to fend for himself while she practiced archery at the original spot.

Six days passed by swiftly, and Shen Mochen repeated the aforementioned routine. Xiao Xingshuang was on a full leave, not returning for less than ten days, so it was just the four of them in the dormitory.

But on the seventh day, things were a little different.
