Chapter 704: Chapter 704: In the Elevator
From a distance, Shen Mo saw Yu Chaohui chatting with Bai Youwei. He furrowed his brows and let go of Tan Xiao.
Tan Xiao looked at Shen Mo, stunned, “Mo, are we stopping training?”
“Do the set of moves I just taught you another 30 times.” Saying this, Shen Mo started moving directly towards Bai Youwei.
Upon seeing Shen Mo approaching, Bai Youwei waved joyously at him, “Is the training over?”
“Almost,” Shen Mo replied casually. His gaze swept over both of them before moving back to Bai Youwei. “Why did you suddenly come to the training room?”
“Got bored staying in the room~” Bai Youwei giggled and grabbed Shen Mo’s arm, bending him over to whisper in his ear. “The teacher cooked an egg pancake, fried some luncheon meat and wrapped it along with pickles. It tastes amazing~ When are we going back to eat?”
Shen Mo chuckled, straightening up, and tousled her hair, “We’re going back right now.”
He turned his head and shouted to Tan Xiao in the distance: “Do the moves 30 times and then come back to our room.”
“Okay!” Tan Xiao responded.
Shen Mo then addressed Yu Chaohui, who was sitting on a bench, his tone neutral: “Rest early.”
Ya Chaohui simply nodded in response.
Shen Mo began to push Bai Youwei’s wheelchair outside.
Bai Youwei looked back curiously to find Yu Chaohui packing his things, preparing to go back to his room.
“Different treatment, aren’t you afraid he takes it the wrong way?” Bai Youwei whispered.
“He already has his own ideas, this won’t make a difference,” Shen Mo replied calmly as he walked, “Forcing him to come with us would only accentuate his sense of alienation. After what happened with Fang Yu, he’s been stuck in a dark place. We just have to wait until he comes to terms with it.”
“What if he doesn’t?” Bai Youwei asked again.
Shen Mo glanced at her, “Whether he does or doesn’t, that’s his concern.”
Bai Youwei laughed: “So cold~”
“Cold, am I?” Shen Mo calmly responded as he pushed her wheelchair into the elevator and pressed the up button, “If his physical ability is lacking, or his skills are insufficient, I can help him improve. If he’s in danger, I can also save him, but if he can’t come to terms with things… there’s nothing I can do.”
Not only could he not help, but he had no obligation to interfere. Everyone is responsible for their own life.
Ding – The elevator arrived.
Shen Mo pushed Bai Youwei into the elevator.
“After all, if someone wholeheartedly follows you, you have to care about them, right~ Otherwise, what happens if, when I become king, they’re dissatisfied?” Bai Youwei said leisurely.
She was testing Shen Mo.
She wanted to know Shen Mo’s attitude towards the idea of becoming a king.
As expected, Shen Mo looked at her and asked, “You want to be king?”
Bai Youwei’s heart leaped, but she kept her face calm and replied nonchalantly,
“Look, as the war continues, there will inevitably be matters of selection. If you were king, choosing either him or me to take part in the war would upset one of us. Choosing both of us and putting us together would also cause issues. So… isn’t it better if I were the king?”
Eyeing Shen Mo’s expression, she continued, “You’re his superior, he’d certainly be more willing to work with you. Even if he got eliminated, he wouldn’t complain…”
Ding – The elevator arrived.
Shen Mo didn’t immediately step out, instead, he stared at Bai Youwei.
“…What?” Bai Youwei blinked, asking, “Do you… want to be king too?”
Shen Mo remained silent.
Bai Youwei clung to his arm, feigning innocence and begged: “Let me be the king~ I really want to be the king~”
Shen Mo asked her, “Just now in the training room, is that what you and Yu Chaohui were discussing?”
