"No, it's because we live in this society, and we have to follow its rules. No one is completely free."
Shen Li remained silent.
The two hugged for a moment, then Shen Xingchen slowly withdrew from Shen Li's embrace and said, "I'll tell Auntie in a few days, I'll stay at the hospital dormitory."

Having been kicked out not long ago, it was no big deal for him to move out again.
