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

Hearing the long-missed voice, Shen Mochen couldn't help but reveal a warm smile at the corner of his mouth, "We're okay, some super strong guy from above came to support us, and everyone's fine."

"Really? None of you are injured?" Cai Yuncui asked again for confirmation.

"Really, no injuries, everyone's fine, not a scratch. It's just that Muxue had a bit of a concussion, but you know my superpower, I just finished treating her..."

"Is that so, is that so... Thank heavens, thank heavens... That's great, that's great..."

When she learned that 0819 had encountered an A-class monster, her mind had run through countless tragic possibilities, and she felt as if her heart had turned to ashes. Now, knowing that everyone was safe and sound, the tension that had been wound tight suddenly relaxed, and tears gushed forth like a fountain.

"Stop crying, want to do a video call to see for yourself?" Shen Mochen said with a smile.

The next moment, Cai Yuncui's video call request came through.

Shen Mochen accepted the video call, and on the other side of the phone, Cai Yuncui was crying her eyes out, her chest heaving.

"See? Am I not fine?" Shen Mochen coughed and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Mhm!" Cai Yuncui nodded desperately, but her tears still wouldn't stop.

Shen Mochen, still smiling, returned to Han Muxue's hospital room, "Muxue, want to reassure Cai sister?"

"Give it to me!" Han Muxue snatched the phone, saw Cai Yuncui's expression, her lips moved a few times but what came out was, "You're such an adult, what are you crying for! We're all okay! You retired, just live well and stop worrying so much."

Shen Mochen sat to the side, listening to the sisters' conversation. Muxue was still tsundere as ever, but she was exceptionally gentle with Cai Yuncui, sometimes bickering with her, but never was there a harsh word, and her eyes and brows were always smiling.

He suddenly remembered Liu Chaoyan saying that Cai Yuncui was like a big sister to all the current members of 0819. She was so kind to everyone, so everyone was very kind to her.

After chatting with Han Muxue for a while, Cai Yuncui's mood gradually brightened, and her smile returned. After a long time, Han Muxue finally handed the phone back to Shen Mochen, "I've said my piece, now you two talk!"

Shen Mochen took the phone, and Cai Yuncui's face was smiling.

Stepping out of the hospital room, Han Muxue grumbled, "To think he won't even let me listen!"

Arriving in the hallway, Shen Mochen and Cai Yuncui faced each other through the video call. It had been a long time since they had even made a phone call, let alone a video call. Although they often kept in touch, it was mostly through voice and text messages.

Shen Mochen knew why, but he didn't say it.

"How have you been adjusting to living in Buque recently?" Cai Yuncui asked.

"I've adjusted well, Cai sister's room smells so nice, I've been sleeping really comfortably." Shen Mochen laughed.

Cai Yuncui's face blushed, shyly saying, "What nice smell, I threw all my stuff away... What a pity, if I had known you'd be living there afterwards, I wouldn't have thrown some things away... They were still good!"

Everyone has their own habits and preferences, Cai Yuncui had cleaned her room thoroughly before she left, not leaving a single piece of her belongings or any trace behind, to make it convenient for the next Buque resident to move in and decorate the room to their liking.

Shen Mochen nodded and agreed, "Exactly, such a waste. Where did you throw away your old stuff? I'll see if I can pick it back up."

"It's long gone, want me to help you redecorate?"

"How would you help me redecorate?"

"I heard you guys are going to rest for a few days at Buque's sanatorium, and the higher-ups are recruiting people to temporarily station at our node for a few days. I've signed up!"

"Aren't you going to attend classes?" Shen Mochen asked.

"Hehe, Xiaochen, now that you're not a student, you've forgotten the dates, huh?" Cai Yuncui teased with a chuckle, "Tomorrow and the day after are the weekend!"

Shen Mochen chuckled, "Okay, then I will come to see you when I have time!"

Cai Yuncui shook her head, "You should just rest and recuperate at the sanatorium."

Shen Mochen waved his hand, "Let's talk about that later. My body is fine, and I don't need any recuperation."

Cai Yuncui hummed in acknowledgment and then fell silent again. She appeared to have something to say but didn't know how to begin.

Shen Mochen guessed what she wanted to say and waited silently for her to speak first.

"You..." Cai Yuncui fell silent for a long while, blinking her eyes, her gaze shifting slightly, "That is... are you and Qingrou still good?"

What a joke, that woman is no good at all! Shen Mochen thought to himself.

"We're alright..." Shen Mochen said.

Telling Cai Yuncui about what had happened between them recently would only make her sad and distressed.

So Shen Mochen chose to share only the good news and not the bad. He thought to find an opportunity in a few days to tell Cai Yuncui that they just had incompatible personalities and had peacefully broken up.

"Really?" Cai Yuncui licked her lower lip, her face revealing a bitter smile for a moment before she concealed it again and spoke earnestly, "Xiaochen, Qingrou is a good girl. You must treat her well!"

"Uh-huh..." Shen Mochen replied.

Cai Yuncui said, "Don't be fooled by her appearance. She's actually a very gentle, very gentle person. Truly gentle, her heart is soft too, always thinking of others. She's a genuinely good girl!"

Shen Mochen nodded absentmindedly without contradiction, "Mm."

Shen Mochen didn't quite agree with Cai Yuncui's appraisal of Xia Qingrou. After all, they had just had a disagreement.

"I understand her current feelings very well; she must also be troubled. Xiaochen, you must try to understand her more, encourage her... It's not easy for her."

"I understand." Shen Mochen said.

"Mm, you might not know, but at her age, I also felt troubled every day as my strength kept dwindling, yet as the eldest, I couldn't act spoiled with my sisters. I felt increasingly useless and could only do more to take care of the sisters' household chores... If you could tell her about your hidden superpower, do it..."

"Mm, I'll consider it."

Shen Mochen listened silently, and couldn't help but think of the figure who practiced cooking alone under the moonlight, and he sighed softly.

"After Sister Yuncui leaves, I will be the oldest here." The words Xia Qingrou had originally said echoed once more in Shen Mochen's mind.

Xia Qingrou used to call her Sister Yuncui, so presumably, Xia Qingrou had always been a spoiled sister while Cai Yuncui was around.

But now, there was no one for her to act spoiled with; she was everyone's older sister. She wanted to learn from Cai Yuncui and take care of everyone as much as possible.

After the video call with Cai Yuncui ended, Shen Mochen knocked on Liu Chaoyan's door. He definitely had to pass on the recording since it concerned his own innocence, but afterwards, he could put in a good word for Xia Qingrou.

It was like giving face to Cai Yuncui, and this time, he could forgive her.

But when he entered Liu Chaoyan's ward, he found that Xiao Xingshuang was also there.

"Ah, Classmate Shen, you came at the perfect time. Xingshuang has already come clean to me, you're innocent!" Liu Chaoyan said with a smile.

"Eh?" Shen Mochen clenched his phone tightly, standing there in a daze.

What did this matter have to do with Xiao Xingshuang?
