Chapter 322: About to Return to the Team
"I said this is incomparable..." Shen Mochen felt a little embarrassed, especially when the other party had no ill intentions, and he didn't want to talk about this topic again.
"If you had told her yesterday that you liked her more, she might not have broken up with you. You could still hold her to sleep and continue to do those happy things with her." Xiao Xingshuang tilted her head.
Shen Mochen laughed dryly: "Isn't this purpose too hypocritical and utilitarian?"
Xiao Xingshuang said: "What a pity."
What a shame... What are you talking about? Are you asking me to talk nonsense just to continue playing poker with Xia Qingrou?
Only a scumbag would not be stingy with lies...well, speaking of it, I have told quite a lot of lies.
"So who is more important to you?" Xiao Xingshuang seemed not to let Shen Mochen go. In order to satisfy her curiosity, she asked again.
Shen Mochen was washing rice in his hands and turned his back slightly: "As you said, is your father more important to you or your mother?"
Xiao Xingshuang said calmly: "My father is dead, so my mother is more important now."
Shen Mochen suddenly looked at Xiao Xingshuang, was silent for a moment, and grinned: "What a coincidence, my dad is also dead."
"Did he also die of illness?"
"He was in an accident. What disease did your father die of?"
"Liver disease."
"Hiss...this disease is indeed difficult to cure."
"It's not that it can't be cured, it's just that if you don't have the money to treat it, you will die." Xiao Xingshuang rinsed the dried longan over and over again, and suddenly remembered that the dried longan didn't need to be rinsed so many times, so she filtered the water in the bowl and put it in
The bowl was put down.

"No way, this will cost a lot of money..." Shen Mochen pursed his lips.
Xiao Xingshuang said softly: "Actually, it's not much. At that time, it was only more than 70,000."
Shen Mochen was silent. More than 70,000 yuan may not be enough for Xiao Xingshuang to make up for one month's salary. But for some families, more than 70,000 yuan can kill someone.
Shen Mochen could understand this feeling. When he and the Yin sisters were in the most difficult situation, they couldn't even come up with seven hundred, let alone seventy thousand. When he was a child, his leg was broken once, and they still knelt in front of the doctor.
He knelt until his head was bleeding and the other party reluctantly healed him.
"Then your relatives..."
"I borrowed some before, but they refused to borrow them. They were afraid that the surgery would not be successful and our family would not be able to pay back."
Shen Mochen lowered his eyes and took out a rag to gently wipe the water stains on the inner pot of the pressure cooker.
"You...can be considered a blessing after all the hardships. Being able to awaken your superpowers can be regarded as God's compensation."
After a long silence, Shen Mochen slowly opened his mouth to comfort him.
In fact, Xiao Xingshuang's life experience is very pitiful. But this kind of thing often happens in the slums. If you get seriously ill, you will die.
Many people say, "The hemp rope is cut at the thinnest part, and bad luck only seeks out the miserable." But in fact, this sentence contradicts the logic of cause and effect.
It's not that poor people are prone to bad luck, but that when the same thing happens, the rich and powerful can easily deal with it, but the poor and helpless will never be able to turn around.
Many things are not bad luck, they just become bad luck when they happen to unfortunate people.
Shen Mochen was used to seeing this in the early years, but it was only after his life became more comfortable in the past two years that he realized how desolate such a life was.
Xiao Xingshuang was silent for a long time, and slowly released her hand holding the edge of the bowl: "Yes."
Shen Mochen's eyes flashed, and he changed the subject and said: "By the way, your mother is still here, it's good, but I am not."
Xiao Xingshuang looked confused: "Is your mother dead too?"
"Roughly the same."
"What does almost mean?"
"That's it..." She is in a quantum superposition state between death and immortality. In most cases, she is dead, but depending on different situations and different questioning environments, she can sometimes stay alive.
However, this kind of "Schrödinger's mother" was too troublesome to explain to Xiao Xingshuang, and although Shen Mochen and Xiao Xingshuang had kissed and slept with each other in a literal sense, their relationship was not close enough to allow them to talk freely about private matters at home.
"He's dead." Shen Mochen hesitated for a moment and then said.
"That's it, then I'm better than you." Xiao Xingshuang said.
"..." Shen Mochen was speechless.
He believed that Xiao Xingshuang did not mean any harm, but simply expressed her feelings and stated a fact that she believed to be true.
Shen Mochen added water to the rice and started boiling it, then asked Xiao Xingshuang to leave.
"You've cooked a lot. After it's cooked, can I have a little drink?" Xiao Xingshuang glanced at the pot.
The corners of Shen Mochen's mouth twitched slightly and he nodded.
"Then I'm going for a run." Xiao Xingshuang turned and left.
"Okay, be safe and remember to bring your walkie-talkie."
"I'll take it."
"By the way, I want to ask, why do you run every day? To lose weight?" Shen Mochen asked casually.
"The more you exercise, the less likely you will get sick." Xiao Xingshuang said.
…
After Xiao Xingshuang left, the water in the pot boiled not long after. Shen Mochen poured in the cut and pitted red dates, and simmered for a while, and the rice porridge was almost ready. Finally, Shen Mochen added longan meat and
Add rock sugar and simmer for a few minutes again, and the longan and red date porridge will be ready.
Shen Mochen smelled the fragrant smell, pressed the keep warm button, and turned to look for Liu Chaoyan.
Shen Mochen knocked on Liu Chaoyan's door: "Captain, Sister Xia is not feeling well. I made some porridge, can you help me pass it to her?"
Liu Chaoyan smiled slightly: "Why don't you hand it to her yourself? If she receives the porridge you cooked, she will be very happy."
Shen Mochen had a wry smile on his face and shook his head mockingly: "She didn't even let me in. When you hand it in later, don't say I cooked it, just say you cooked it, otherwise she will definitely not eat it.
"
Liu Chaoyan sighed softly when he heard this: "Okay then..."
"By the way, I cooked a lot of porridge. If the captain likes it, you can eat it as much as you like." Shen Mochen then laughed.
"Then I'm welcome..." Liu Chaoyan smiled, "By the way, how are you feeling? Didn't you say before that you weren't feeling well too?"
Shen Mochen coughed: "I'm fine. What can happen to me as a boy? And my powers can heal themselves!"
Liu Chaoyan smiled sweetly: "Classmate Shen is really reliable!"
Liu Chaoyan went to deliver food to Xia Qingrou, and when he came out, he gestured to Shen Mochen to indicate that he had finished eating.
Shen Mochen walked forward and asked in a low voice: "Is she feeling well?"
Liu Chaoyan shook his head slightly: "It's not very good. My head is a little hot and I'm still coughing. I just watched her take medicine. Let's take a nap before watching."
"Captain, now that Sister Xia is sick, should you call Xiaoxue back?"
"No need for the time being, it's already Dali Yue, the three of us are enough..."
