Chapter Eleven: Are You His Girlfriend?
The faucet in the kitchen was buzzing, and Shen Mochen was clearing away the kitchen utensils and stove, preparing to wash the pots and dishes later.
Yin Caiyu walked over lightly, slapped Shen Mochen on the back abruptly, and let out a strange scream at the same time.
"Isn't it childish?" Shen Mochen's face was expressionless and he didn't even look back.
"Tch, it's not childlike at all." Seeing the other party's lack of response, Yin Caiyu couldn't help but gasped and helped Shen Mochen wash the dishes.
She finally put on slippers now. The pink slippers made of EVA were the same style as the blue slippers on Shen Mochen's feet. When she bought the slippers, she proudly told Shen Mochen that they were for siblings.
Although he is only one month older than Shen Mochen and has to rely on him for housework, Yin Caiyu likes to regard himself as Shen Mochen's guardian, especially after Yin Huailian's death.
Shen Mochen teased: "Why did you help me with the housework today? You are so diligent."
Yin Caiyu hummed: "What you said is as if I ate and slept at home... Hey, the cooking of other people in the team is far worse than yours. I wonder which girl in the future will be so lucky to meet someone like you. You are such a good-looking and virtuous husband!”
Shen Mochen glanced at Yin Caiyu and was too lazy to talk to her.
Yin Caiyu lowered his head and washed the bowl, but his hands were moving around in the bowl, more like playing with water. He continued to sigh: "But when you get a girlfriend in the future, you will cook for them every day and not for me." Hey, when you have a wife, you forget about your mother——"
Shen Mochen rubbed his chopsticks with the detergent foam on his hands: "Only at this moment can your imagination make such a leap. I am not such a casual person, and I will not cook for outsiders easily."
Yin Caiyu groaned: "Tsk, who knows..."
Shen Mochen was too lazy to dwell on this issue: "How many days will you be back this time?"
Yin Caiyu lowered his eyes: "Tonight and tomorrow... I will leave the day after tomorrow."
Shen Mochen was stunned and turned to look at her: "So urgent? Isn't it usually at least a week?"
"Nonsense, I didn't have a holiday this time, so I forced myself to find time to come back and see you!"
"That's it..."
Shen Mochen washed away the foam on his chopsticks and inserted them into the chopstick cage: "By the way, your birthday was just last month, so it means you have been in the army for two years. When will you retire?"
Yin Caiyu's expression moved slightly and he said calmly: "I want to do it too, but lately... it's been a bit troublesome. I'm afraid it won't be until next month."
"...Is it because of me?"
"You think too much, it has nothing to do with you entering No. 1 Middle School! Your sister and I can just work overtime for that kind of thing!"
Shen Mochen breathed a sigh of relief: "Is that what you said last time?"
Yin Caiyu froze, looking confused: "What did I say?"
Shen Mochen frowned: "It means that monsters have been active recently, which is a bit abnormal..."
"Are you remembering wrongly? When did I say that?"
"I must have remembered correctly. You said it when you came back for your birthday last month and were sitting on the bed picking your feet."
Yin Caiyu was furious and yelled: "Fart, how can this fairy pick her feet!!"
Shen Mochen squinted: "You touch my face every time you finish buckling, and you forget about it?"
"Forgot, I don't remember! I have never kicked my feet. If you slander me again, I will cut you off!"
Yin Caiyu put the washed bowls on the shelf, slapped the water on Shen Mochen's clothes with one hand, and left the kitchen with an unhappy look on his face.
Shen Mochen followed Yin Caiyu and yelled: "Retreat when the time is up, don't delay. There are so many people filling the gap, and there is no shortage of you. If you retreat, there will be people to take over!"
Yin Caiyu waved his hands impatiently: "I know, I know, I'm quitting next month. Why are you more talkative than girls!"
Shen Mochen watched Yin Caiyu's back disappear slowly, turned his head and took care of the follow-up hygiene.
I don't want to either, but you are the only one I have left.
As the guardian of mankind, the repairer sounds very glorious, but how can fighting monsters be without danger?
In addition to possessing superpowers, people with superpowers are still essentially mortal bodies. A pistol in the dark can easily kill them, let alone an attack from a monster.
According to unofficial statistics that do not disclose the source, the death rate of the troops who repaired the problem has been more than 10% all year round.
Although the public hopes in their hearts that people with supernatural powers can fight monsters until their powers completely fade away, and praise this dedication and sacrifice in the process, when it comes to themselves or their loved ones around them, everyone will inevitably change. Become like "I really have a cow" mentality.
Retire after completing your two-year obligations. Anyway, awakened people can find good jobs besides making up for the shortfall, and it won't be that dangerous.
…
"Rub it clean!"
Shen Mochen filled a basin of water in the bathroom and was about to wash Yin Caiyu's underwear when he heard the faint voice from the other party.
"Why are you here again?" Shen Mochen turned his head impatiently.
Yin Caiyu pulled a small ponytail and sat down, saying seriously: "I'm watching you wash, who knows if you will do dirty things with your sister's clothes!"
Shen Mochen's face felt slightly hot and he threw Yin Caiyu's underwear back into the basin: "Are your teammates talking nonsense to you again? In this case, you can just wash it yourself. You are very free now anyway!"
I have been washing your underwear for so many years, and I have already done what I want to do. Now you are talking about a hammer! Shen Mochen is a little embarrassed and angry. If he had known this, he should have done something!
Yin Caiyu raised her head: "Do you know what it means to be like an elder sister like a mother?"
"As a eldest sister, like a mother, shouldn't we work more?"
"Wrong, what this sentence means is, I am the parent, you have to do whatever I ask you to do! Stop talking nonsense and work! I will supervise you!"
Shen Mochen could only rub his underwear angrily: "How could there be such an authoritarian parent as you!"
You don’t believe me, right? Are you afraid that I’ll do something bad with your torn pants, right? Just wait for me, and I’ll do it hard next time you’re not around!
He was so angry that he refused to talk to Yin Caiyu, and Yin Caiyu didn't talk to him either. She just watched him working with a smile on her face, looking contented with herself.
After washing his underwear, Shen Mochen went to the balcony to hang them up, then took his clothes to prepare for a bath.
"Go to bed quickly, don't catch a cold."
Shen Mochen stood at the door of the bathroom and turned to look at Yin Caiyu. He was wearing nothing except his underwear and a shirt.
"I'm in good health and won't catch a cold!" Yin Caiyu stretched out his hand and said, "Give me your cell phone."
"what?"
"I'm playing games. My phone is out of battery and I need to charge it."
Shen Mochen complained and handed the phone to Yin Caiyu: "So you should charge it early, it's been so long since you came back!"
"I forgot, there was electricity before..."
“Next time, charge it up in advance, you idiot!”
Shen Mochen was too lazy to listen to Yin Caiyu's explanation. He closed the bathroom door and soon heard the sound of running water.
Yin Caiyu shrugged, returned to the bedroom, lay on the bed with his legs crossed, and unlocked his phone naturally.
They have lived together for so many years and know each other quite well. Just as Shen Mochen remembers her every word, she is also familiar with Shen Mochen's every expression.
Although it was still slightly inferior to Yin Huailian who could tell what Shen Mochen was thinking at a glance, Yin Caiyu was certain that Shen Mochen was indeed shaken by that text message before.
It’s really strange, it’s just an ordinary text message... Old Ye, are there any girls named Ye in their class?
Yin Caiyu clicked on the contact. Shen Mochen did not reply after receiving the text message from "Lao Ye". There was still only one text message between the two:
"This is my mobile phone number, please save it."
Yin Caiyu looked at the text message, and the words were so unfamiliar that she couldn't imagine that it was an intimate relationship. She frowned and thought for a long time, then a smirk gradually appeared in her eyes, and she quickly typed on the keyboard of her phone:
Chapter completed!
