‘ Shen MO closed his eyes weakly.
“What do you think?” he looked at her indifferently, his voice devoid of any emotion. “Do you think a fully charged bunny can make you so strong that you don’t need anyone’s help?”
Bai Youwei’s eyes rolled, and she replied, “That’s hard to say. After all, I’m quite formidable myself.’
Shen MO got up, “Fine, from now on, I won’t look after you.”
“No!” Bai Youwei suddenly grabbed his hand, squeezing it tightly. “I can do without your help, but you can’t abandon me!”
What does that even mean?
Is this a tongue twister? It could be a bit more awkward.
“Let go.” said Shen Mo.
Shen MO took a deep breath and said calmly, “Weren’t you asking me to look after you? Now, I want you to let go.”
After a couple of seconds, she relented. She let go of his hand, her voice full of resentment. “So, where are you going then?”
Seeing her yield was a novelty to Shen MO, so he said, “I’m going back to the tent to sleep. I will watch over the second half of the night, so I plan to sleep early. ”
Bai Youwei’s eyes widened in disbelief, “You’re not sharing a tent with me?!” Shen MO didn’t understand what was so surprising about this.
They had been sharing a room solely due to circumstances. Now that they had everything they needed in the maze, why did they need to cram into one tent?
“If I’m in the tent alone and something happens, what would I do? What about when I have to go to the toilet at night?!” Bai Youwei stared at him intently. “Do you want me to scream your name in the dead of the night and let the entire world know I need to go to the toilet?!”
Having said all this, she suddenly deflated, saying dejectedly, “Forget it, just go.”
Shen MO was rendered speechless.
The tent was dark. She was hugging a stuffed bunny, her head hung low in silence. Her entire demeanor portrayed a sense of fatigue and gloom. For a moment, he had a torrent of words at the tip of his tongue.
He pursed his lips and left the tent.
Outside, it was bustling and lively.
Though it was night, the place was far from lonely due to the electricity. Some people sat in front of their tents chatting; others fetched water together. Some even played music to ease the tense atmosphere.
Everything was abuzz.
For some odd reason, Shen MO grabbed his backpack and blanket from his tent. As he turned, Tan Xiao and Chang Weicai were both looking at him.
Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable toothache.
He stayed silent for a while and then explained insipidly, “She is afraid of being alone.”
The two in front of him showed understanding.
“You really should be with her.” Chang Weicai said understandingly. “Even though she’s usually strong, she’s still just a girl. It’s too much asking her to stay in this place alone. Poor Weiwei.”
Shen MO nodded, picked up his belongings and went over.
Watching Shen Mo’s retreating figure, Professor Chang turned to Tan Xiao and asked, “Xiaotan, are you close to Xiaoshen?”
“We met him at the same time.” Tan Xiao looked puzzled. “Why do you ask?”
“Oh, nothing.” replied Professor Chang. “I just find it odd. They are siblings, right? But why does one bear the surname of Shen and the other Bai? They never seemed to avoid any suspicion even if they were cousins… ‘
“Isn’t it obvious?” Tan Xiao casually replied. “One took the father’s last name, and the other the mother’s!”
Professor Chang had a sudden realization, “I see, it’s my narrow-mindedness. I forgot that a surname can also be matrilineal. You young folks really think fast.
Tan Xiao displayed his teeth in a grin, “Just so-so-.
