I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Dare to Move or Not
The situation outside was in fact far from their imagined warmth.

All of it occurred because Bai Youwei, overtaken by her emotions, threw her walking stick at Shen Mo, demanding him to leave. But she didn’t hit him and instead, she almost lost her balance and fell. Shen Mo swiftly caught her just in time—

And that was what Tan Xiao saw.

When Shen Mo helped Bai Youwei sit on the sofa, he noticed her flushed face and the tears welling up in her eyes. He felt infuriated, but also found it humorous.

“Why are you crying?” he asked, “You cursed me out, and I didn’t say a word. What do you have to cry about?”

Bai Youwei turned her face away: “Hmph!”

Shen Mo grabbed a few tissues from the coffee table to wipe her tears.

Bai Youwei immediately slapped his hand away!

“Don’t touch me!”

Shen Mo took the hit, there was no blood, but a red mark appeared on his arm.

He slightly frowned and looked at Bai Youwei again, his voice becoming stricter: “If you dare move again, do you believe that I will cut them all off?”

Bai Youwei:

She bit her lip.

Then, she raised her hand, looking both determined and hesitant…

And scratched Shen Mo a bit.

Shen Mo:

He didn’t want to indulge her in this habit.

A minute later, Bai Youwei’s ‘weapons’ were forcibly confiscated.

Both of her hands were tied up tightly, Shen Mo took a nail clipper, and started to trim her nails one by one.

The three people in the room, hearing the silence outside, tiptoed out, completely confused at the sight.

Tan Xiao was particularly puzzled: “What kind of kinky fetish is this?”

However, looking at their faces, it seemed like a temporary ceasefire had been called.

Teacher Cheng affectionately asked Shen Mo: “I thought I heard you say you were heading to the 21st game? Is that true?”

Shen Mo, while handling Bai Youwei’s ‘paws’, and trimming her nails, explained: “…The 21st game not only threatens the base’s safety, but also endangers my family. I want to solve this problem before leaving.”

Bai Youwei glared at him, frantically speaking: “If you can’t handle the 21st game, just move somewhere else! The base should have an evacuation plan, right? There’s absolutely no need to fight so hard with a game! So many people have died, it’s clear that the game is too difficult. Why are you so keen on throwing your life away?!”

As she spoke, her eyes started to redden once again, “I won’t allow it! I said it before, no entering the game until we collect the new puzzle pieces! Do I not have any dignity?!”

“The game may not actually be that hard.” Shen Mo remained calm, “The reason we suffered a total defeat this time might be due to sabotage, which may not necessarily be linked to the actual difficulty level of the game.”

Teacher Cheng thought for a moment, looking worried, “Little Shen, Weiwei is right. We understand your concerns for your family, but if something happens to you in the game, it’s going to cause even more pain for your family… maybe you should reconsider?”

Shen Mo slowly shook his head: “Shanghai exists as a ‘vacuum’ safe zone because of the maze that was here. The locations of all the nearby games have been confirmed, and we understand their moving patterns. There won’t be anyplace safer than here. Even if there is, it will be separated by a vast distance.”

He glanced at Bai Youwei and added: “I’ll talk to Chu Huaijin, and we’ll recruit another team.”

Bai Youwei retorted bitterly: “So many people have died, even the elite team was annihilated! Who would be foolish enough to join you in the game?! You will surely fail to recruit anyone!”

Shen Mo looked at her: “If I can’t gather enough people, I’ll give up on the 21st game; I’ll move to a new stronghold with the base, then head north with you all.”

Bai Youwei clenched her jaw in frustration.

His words made her look unreasonable, but… considering their current situation, they really weren’t suited for entering the game!
