Chapter 14: Chapter 14 – I will not abandon you

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After they moved far away from the troubled area, the SUV slowly reduced its speed.

Shen MO halted the vehicle.

“Why did you stop?” Bai Youwei asked.

A bottle of mineral water was handed to her.

She was momentarily stunned before reaching out to take it.

“After a few rounds in the game, dehydration has kicked in.” Shen MO popped open another bottle and began to drink, his jawline and Adam’s apple forming a masculine curve as he let his head tilt back.

Bai Youwei watched him for a while, then she too lifted her chin to drink, taking small sips reminding one of a lamb drinking from a brook. freewebnove(l)

Once relaxed, the body’s various sensory requirements returned. Not only still thirsty, but she also felt tired, her muscles meticulously limp.

“This game isn’t just a simple simulation of reality. The fatigue left in your body feels quite real.” Shen MO crumbled the empty bottle, making it emit a crisp noise, “Don’t rush to hit the road yet. First, we should get to a service area to check things, ideally, we could give a call to Yangzhou.”

Pausing a bit, he then said, “In the meantime, we can charge your rabbit.”

Whether or not it can really release electricity, they would have to see the effects after charging it.

Bai Youwei nodded in agreement.

Taking a rest in a suitable place was essential. Given their current state, if there were another race between the tortoise and the hare, they might fail to pass.

Shen MO once more revved the car, preparing to hit the road again.

That’s when Bai Youwei asked, “If something happens in Yangzhou too, what’s your plan?”

Shen MO paused in surprise, stopping as he was about to start the car.

Staring at the cold chiseled profile of his face, Bai Youwei calmly said, “You promised my mother you’d take me to Yangzhou. You have no obligation to care about whether I live or die there. Besides, you have your mission. You should be returning to report. Once we reach Yangzhou, we’ll part ways. Isn’t that right?”

Still speaking, her eyes gradually grew colder, “It’s the end of the world. Who can care about someone else’s life or death? You came to pick me up, it was your duty, a good deed. However, if you deliver me and then abandon me; honestly, Shen MO, you might as well let me fend for myself right now, I won’t blame you.”

The atmosphere froze.

But Bai Youwei didn’t care – anyway, she was always an unlikable person.

Shen MO put down the car keys and turned to her.

Bai Youwei’s clean, shiny eyes stared directly at him, not backing down, her lips tight in a show of stubbornness.

“Come here.” Shen MO gestured to her with a beckoning index finger.

She frowned and leaned closer, “What?”

Shen MO stretched out a hand and took hold of her chin.

Her plump, baby-like face immediately squished out of shape, her lips pouting. Her stubborn look now took on a childish quality.

‘ Bai Youwei’s brow furrowed even more; she muttered curses in her heart.

“Listen well; I’m only going to say this once.” Shen MO, holding her face, spoke in a tone like an impatient gentleness, “I won’t throw you away and disregard you. Got it?”

‘ She turned her face away, unable to wriggle out of his hand.

Shen MO pinched her a bit more like one would a doll, “Did you hear me? Did you get it?”

Bai Youwei moved her lips: “I heard you …”

Satisfied, Shen MO let go, turned back, and twisted the car keys. The engine roared softly.

He glanced through the rearview mirror at the back seat. Bai Youwei covered her face, her eyes flashing angrily at him.

A smile crept onto the corner of Shen Mo’s lips as he hit the road.

He finally figured out Bai Youwei’s temper. A typical tough nut, if you’re nice to her, she thinks you pity her, feels uncomfortable, and deliberately picks quarrels with you. Better to be a bit tough; it’s easier and less bothersome.

“I am, after all, older than you by a few years. You should have a little more faith in me.” Shen MO said, gripping the steering wheel as he spoke with a light smile.

In the rearview mirror, the girl’s gaze seemed disgusted, and she looked out the window with a cold face, ignoring him.

It seemed she had developed a grudge against him..
