Bai Youwei sat listlessly beside Shen Mo, looking rather dispirited.
After getting out of the lake, she changed into dry clothes, but her hair was still wet and hanging down her back, carrying the fishy smell of the lake water, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the people in front of her were all old acquaintances, and even though they saw her change clothes, they were tactful enough not to ask where the clothes came from.
Shen Mo lowered his eyes and glanced at her, explaining to everyone on her behalf, "She's a little sleepy. We haven't rested for over 20 hours since entering the game."
These 20 hours weren't spent leisurely as in normal life, but rather 20 hours of constant tension, so it was normal to feel tired and sleepy.
Bai Youwei frowned slightly and said slowly, "I think Yan Qingwen's idea… is right. If it weren't for that rag doll, the surprise attack during the day should have succeeded. However, the rag doll is always carried by Mary, so it's not easy to separate it from her… I can't think of any good solutions for now, and the music outside is too noisy…"
Seeing that she was really forcing herself, Yan Qingwen looked at the others.
Apart from Shen Mo, whose expression never changed, and Tan Xiao, who was always energetic, the others showed signs of fatigue on their faces.
Yan Qingwen said, "Since we can't think of a solution now, why don't we wait until daytime to discuss it? This place is very hidden, so Mary and the cat shouldn't be able to find it. Let's take the time to rest, and maybe we'll have new ideas tomorrow."
After saying this, they discussed a few more sentences and then each found a place to rest.
There were no beds or pillows here, so they could only find a wall or a pole to lean against and close their eyes for a short rest.
Mary and the cat could appear at any time, so they couldn't completely relax and fall asleep.
Shen Mo put his arm around Bai Youwei and adjusted his position to make her sleep more comfortably.
Since when, the two of them had become accustomed to such closeness, naturally intimate, without any lustful thoughts.
Shen Mo put his arm around her shoulder and said in a low voice, "If we still can't think of a solution tomorrow, you and Shen Fei stay here, and I'll go with Yan Qingwen to deal with the rag doll."
Bai Youwei looked up at him, somewhat speechless, "You want me to be with him?"
"We need to leave someone to take care of you." Shen Mo smiled faintly, "He's injured and nearly drowned, so his condition probably won't be too good tomorrow, and he's not suitable to go with us."
As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Fei, who was still unconscious beside them, and his voice became even lower:
"I also have some selfish intentions. Tan Xiao still has a puzzle piece, so even if he encounters danger, he has the ability to protect himself, but Shen Fei doesn't… I hope that when we leave the game, I can return him to his parents safe and sound."
"He's safe and sound, but what about me?" Bai Youwei poked his chest in frustration, "Do you know how many times your brother made me fall today? Four times!… No, it's five times! I can't remember, but he made me fall so many times!"
Shen Mo was stunned for a moment, then looked down at her, "He deliberately made you fall?"
"If it wasn't deliberate, does that mean he can just make me fall as he pleases?" Bai Youwei rolled up her sleeves and showed him her elbow, "Look here, it's all scraped, and this…"
She brushed aside her bangs to show him her forehead.
"Is it swollen? It must be swollen, right? I can feel it! And my legs, look… my knees, my waist, it's all…"
Shen Mo held down her hand as she was about to lift her skirt, his tone helpless, "Alright, that's enough."
Bai Youwei resentfully lowered her skirt, "The number of times I've fallen in my entire life doesn't add up to as many as today! I don't care, tomorrow you have to make him stay away from me! I don't want him to take care of me."
Staying away is safer, and if he dies, it won't have anything to do with her.
Even if Shen Mo wouldn't blame her, she had to nip any potential sprouts that could affect the progress of their relationship in the bud!
