Chapter 699: Chapter 699: What to Give?
A blank, white space.
A person and a sphere stood in front of a cube.
The workload had recently decreased significantly, enabling the inspectors to have quite a lot of leisure time. They happened to notice that a player had logged into a replica that had been closed for a long time, which intrigued them to take a closer look.
The comic man stared at various events within the cube, and muttered in a strange tone, “He gave her a pair of shoes.”
The sphere said, “It’s a nice gesture~ It’s not a prop anyway, so there’s no need to worry about it affecting the game balance.”
The comic man hesitated, “Will it really not affect? Though it’s just a pair of shoes, his attitude is obviously questionable…”
The sphere shook impatiently, “Ahh~ The system didn’t set any rules on our attitudes, besides haven’t you shown favoritism towards some players? That’s perfectly normal!”
The comic man defended himself hurriedly: “How can that be the same?! Although I’ve favored them, I’ve never given them anything…”
“Haven’t you given enough?” the sphere shouted, “Not only shoes, but you also gave out 214 luxury dresses! 349 pieces of jewelry! 102 sets of silver tableware! 78 weapons! Even the velvet blankets and pillows were taken away by her quite a bit, weren’t they?!”
The comic man choked: “…”
The sphere continued to watch the situation inside the cube, murmuring to itself, “It seems that he really appreciates her. Maybe… I should also give her something?”
Bai Youwei, who had left the game, was on her way back home.
The rain was drizzling, carrying the chill of autumn.
Luckily, she was wearing shoes, otherwise she would have had to step on the muddy road. Thinking about it that way, today’s gift, though not a prop, came in handy.
After walking for five or six minutes, a off-road car suddenly drove up in front of her.
Bai Youwei recognized it as Shen Mo’s car, but through the hazy rain curtain, she couldn’t clearly see if the man on the driver’s seat was him…
The car was driving at a high speed, Bai Youwei stepped aside onto the roadside, but still couldn’t avoid getting her skirt splattered with mud.
If the person stepping out of the car is not Shen Mo, she is determined to give him a piece of her mind.
The car door swung open quickly. As soon as Shen Mo got out of the car, he grabbed her hand and asked with a frown, “Where did you run off to?”
Bai Youwei hesitated where to start.
At that moment, Shen Mo saw her dirty skirt, and his eyebrows knit tighter, asking, “How did you get it ?”
She retorted without thinking, “What do you think?”
After two seconds of silence, he pulled her into the car, closed the door, then walked around the front of the car to get back to the driver’s seat–
The car door closed with a bang.
In the small, enclosed space, all Bai Youwei could see were the windshield wipers swaying in front of her.
She remembered a crucial piece of information and immediately turned to Shen Mo and asked, “How come you have no reaction?!”
Seeing her walking independently from the wheelchair, shouldn’t he be shocked?!
Shen Mo grabbed some tissues from the car drawer, wiped the rain off her face, then wiped her skirt, his tone full of helplessness, “I’ve watched the surveillance video almost eight hundred times.”
Bai Youwei suddenly realized.
The city’s power and network had been restored, so traffic surveillance cameras could function normally. No wonder he found her so quickly.
Bai Youwei continued to probe, “What were your feelings the first time you saw it?”
Shen Mo crumpled up the dirty tissue, pulled out a few more pieces, and continued wiping.
“Your height was a bit taller than I imagined.” He replied.
Such an uninspiring answer.
“And…” Shen Mo paused in his movements, looking up at her, “I wasn’t as happy as I thought I would be.”
Bai Youwei was stunned.
Shen Mo leaned in closer, dropped a kiss on her forehead and sighed, “Not being able to see you in the wheelchair, I felt like you could run off any moment… so, I felt very uneasy.”
