"It goes like this..."
Shen Mochen instinctively began to speak, but fell short of words after opening his mouth.
"Partings are always like this," Shen Mochen added.
Liu Chaoyan gently hummed in acknowledgment, then lowered her head to clean up the dishes. Shen Mochen fell silent for a moment before helping her with the clean-up.
Liu Chaoyan smiled and pushed Shen Mochen away, "No need; take a rest. Today it's my turn for duty; rules are rules."
"It doesn't have to be that strict, though."
"A lot of teams end up arguing over daily trivial matters, that's why duties have to be strictly scheduled. If there's no special situation, no one else should intervene. It might seem impersonal, but it prevents some conflicts."
"I'm not involved, haha... But I understand. I'll take off first then; you'll have your hands full later."
Liu Chaoyan smiled and shook her head, indicating she didn't mind.
