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

Another ten days passed, and Xiao Xingshuang returned again. This time, without saying a word, she pinned Shen Mochen down and bit him. She wasn't getting into bed with Shen Mochen for pleasure; it seemed more like for revenge and self-destruction.

Although Shen Mochen wanted to make Xiao Xingshuang feel a bit better, she remained indifferent, going wild on her own, then collapsing on Shen Mochen.

Shen Mochen gently held Xiao Xingshuang: "Is it because your mom is in the hospital? I saw the medical records."

Xiao Xingshuang was silent for a moment: "…It has nothing to do with you."

"How can it have nothing to do with me? I'm your man, you're my woman." Shen Mochen gently stroked Xiao Xingshuang's waist, kissing the tears on her face.

"Heh..." Xiao Xingshuang couldn't help but laugh twice, not sure if it was self-mockery or mockery, "What do you know?"

"I know you need money."

"So what? It's none of your business."

Again and again, Xiao Xingshuang insisted on this point.

"You are... in a lot of danger right now." After a moment of silence, Shen Mochen said.

"Aren't you the one in danger? Who wants to kill you, no one knows."

"I feel you have a tendency towards self-destruction lately. I worry about you, you Watchers always fighting monsters, it's too dangerous."

Xiao Xingshuang's voice was increasingly sarcastic: "Don't worry, I still have six months on my lease; you can hide out at my place for another six months."

Shen Mochen shook his head indifferently: "That's not what I mean. If you die in battle, who will take care of your mom?"

Xiao Xingshuang's body trembled, and after a long silence, she spoke stiffly: "If I die... I can't care about so much."

"Death... shouldn't be a release." Shen Mochen said, "I don't want to die. I want to live."

"Of course, you want to live." Xiao Xingshuang scoffed coldly.

After all, your life is completely different from my life as a gutter rat.

The next day, Xiao Xingshuang did not go to the hospital. Instead, she tossed and turned in bed with Shen Mochen, resting only when utterly exhausted, then continuing.

"Aren't you going to visit Auntie today?" Shen Mochen asked.

"As long as the money is there, it's fine."

In the evening, Xiao Xingshuang left again with a weary body. Fortunately, by the afternoon, Shen Mochen gradually took the lead and gave her a few comfortable experiences.

This time, Xiao Xingshuang left only to return in seven or eight days. She went to the hospital once, then had another wild time with Shen Mochen.

"I'm leaving," Xiao Xingshuang said.

"Take care." Shen Mochen watched her go.

Xiao Xingshuang nodded and returned to the node camp, where no one came to greet her as usual.

She was long used to it. She sat on the sofa, exhausted, recalling the warmth from the evening, which was her only memory worth remembering.

In Yupi, she habitually called the camp a dormitory, which was so warm and beautiful. It felt not like a battlefield where she might perish at any moment but an ordinary girls' dormitory, her last warm harbor. Even though, later, a boy had infiltrated the girls' dormitory.

But here, a camp was just a camp.

From someone's room came the sound of laughter. Xiao Xingshuang pressed her lips together.

The laughter drew nearer as her comrades came out. They were all fair-skinned Romanians, clearly marking Xiao Xingshuang as an outsider.

"Could you sit somewhere else? We want to play cards," one of her comrades said.

"This country bumpkin probably doesn't understand us!" another comrade laughed, speaking in the Roman Language.

Xiao Xingshuang silently stood up and left for her bedroom, as inexplicable laughter sounded behind her.

The four continued their cheerful chatter, and the sounds reached Xiao Xingshuang's room. Xiao Xingshuang put on her headphones, listening to music in a daze.

At the beginning, Xiao Xingshuang wasn't like this. She had come to Roman with hope, wanting a fresh start and to get along well with new comrades.

But things didn't go smoothly from the start. Her stammering Roman Language couldn't facilitate smooth communication with her comrades. Paired with her reclusive nature and different appearance, she found herself entirely unable to integrate into this new group, further intensifying her isolation, leading to a vicious cycle.

Now, apart from battles, she was utterly ignored by other members, carrying immense invisible pressure and pain every day.

Though she didn't know it, some of the responsibility still fell on Shen Mochen. Shen Mochen asked Catherine to find Xiao Xingshuang a better place, which Catherine did.

But she didn't regard Xiao Xingshuang; she merely gave simple instructions.

In fact, this node was one of the easiest in Roman, with a very low frequency of monsters appearing. Being within the circle of Saint Mary City, the pay was also the highest in Roman. After a simple understanding, Catherine did nothing more.

But she forgot that she wasn't the only one watching here.
