That day, all relocation activities at the base were suspended.
The morning after the rainstorm, everyone gathered at the entrance to Game No. 21, waiting for the ten players to enter.
Or rather, the ten warriors.
The puddles on the ground reflected the azure sky, like mirrors, clear and bright. The wheelchair crushed them, creating shallow ripples, also reflecting new colors.
Black was her hair, white was her long dress, dark gray was the blanket behind her, and her light ink-colored eyes were tinged with a bit of sky blue, revealing a hint of sharpness in their cool detachment.
Clearly, she was a lazy and charming girl, yet somehow, she gave off a cold feeling of dark clouds and mist.
Shen Mo slowly pushed Bai Youwei forward.
Countless gazes fell on her.
There was surprise, doubt, admiration, and also vigilance and scrutiny, but no contempt.
No one dared to underestimate her.
At this time, being able to enter Game No. 21 represented a kind of strength in itself.
The entrance to Game No. 21 was at the gate of an amusement park in the Pudong New Area.
Everyone had arrived, with Shen Fei being the last.
His parents had both come.
Shen Mo's father had also come, both to see off his nephew and his son.
If these ten people failed this time, then this meeting would be their last.
The atmosphere was filled with a bit of depression and sadness because of the farewell from their loved ones.
Shen Fei's mother kept holding back from crying, tears streaming down her face. The men themselves were not used to showing their emotions. Shen Fei's father, with red eyes, patted Shen Fei's shoulder and only said one sentence: "We'll be waiting outside for you and your brother to come out."
Shen Mo comforted his Second Uncle: "I will take care of him."
Bai Youwei watched from the side, bored, thinking that she had to keep an eye on Shen Fei, otherwise, if something happened to him, Shen Mo would likely sacrifice his puzzle pieces to save this silly cousin.
Sigh, it would have been better if Xiao Xin had come, but Shen Mo didn't agree…
"Weiwei, do you still recognize me?"
A gentle male voice sounded beside her. She turned her head and saw it was Shen Mo's father.
"I recognize you." Bai Youwei considered her words.
Taking into account his identity, she adjusted her expression, revealing a sweet smile, and said in a soft voice: "You are Uncle Shen. Once when I went to the hospital for a check-up, my mother's car broke down, and you came to the hospital to pick us up. You even bought me ice cream on the way."
Shen Father laughed: "Yes, and I bought it twice. The first time I bought chocolate ice cream, but you refused and insisted on matcha flavor, which made your mother angry in the car."
This wasn't a good impression. Bai Youwei's voice became even softer and more well-behaved: "I was ignorant when I was little, and I troubled you."
Tan Xiao next to her looked at her strangely: "Weiwei, why are you talking like this?"
"What's wrong?" She looked over with a (biting) inno(cent) and (gritting) teeth expression. "People always talk like this~"
"…" Tan Xiao silently rubbed his arms.
Shen Father bent down, his smile becoming even more gentle, "You are still as cute as you were when you were little. I hope you are like you were then, once you've decided on something, you won't change."
He looked up at Shen Mo, who was pushing the wheelchair: "Regardless of whether you can clear the game, perseverance itself is a kind of strength. You all have this kind of strength."
Regarding Shen Father's chicken soup, Shen Mo was as indifferent as ever, saying expressionlessly: "Dad, go back, we are about to enter the game."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of Shen Mo." Bai Youwei waved her little hand to Shen Father in a friendly manner, "Goodbye, Uncle Shen~"
"Okay, goodbye, Weiwei~" Shen Father also waved to her.
"Wave your hand." Bai Youwei tugged at Shen Mo's sleeve.
"…" Shen Mo raised his hand and waved it twice.
The others had already entered the amusement park.
Shen Mo pushed Bai Youwei in, Shen Fei followed them, and the figures of the ten people disappeared into the air—
