Chapter 445: Chapter 445: Fallen a Few Times
Bai Youwei sat next to Shen Mo, lacking energy.

After returning from the lake, she had changed into dry clothes, but her hair was still soaked and hanging down her back. The smell of lake water made her feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, everyone present was familiar. Even though they saw her change clothes, they politely refrained from asking where the clothes came from.

Shen Mo looked down and explained for her, “She is a bit tired. Since entering the game, we have been continuously active for over 20 hours.”

These 20 hours were not normal days of leisurely living, but twenty stressful and tense hours; being tired was only natural.

Bai Youwei frowned slightly, speaking slowly, “I think Yan Qingwen’s idea is correct… If it weren’t for the rag doll, the daytime assault would have succeeded. The issue is, the doll is carried around by Mary and it won’t be easy to separate them… I can’t think of a good solution right now, the music outside is too loud…”

Seeing her straining, Yan Qingwen looked at the others.

Apart from the constant game face of Shen Mo and Tan Xiao’s endless energy, the others showed signs of fatigue.

Yan Qingwen said, “Since we can’t think of any solutions, let’s discuss it in the daylight. This place is well hidden; Mary and the cat won’t find us. Everyone, rest. Tomorrow, we may have new ideas.”

After that, everyone discussed a bit more and then looked for places to rest.

This place had no beds, no pillows, you could only find a wall or a pole to lean on and shut your eyes for a bit.

Mary and the cat could appear at any time, so they couldn’t fully let their guard down to fall asleep.

Shen Mo held Bai Youwei in his arms, adjusting his position to make her sleeping more comfortable.

It was unclear when they started, but they had gotten used to this kind of intimacy. Natural and close, irrelevant of any passion.

Shen Mo held 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 Yan Qingwen and I will deal with the rag doll.”

Bai Youwei looked at him, somewhat speechless. “You want me to stay with him?”

“Someone needs to take care of you.” Shen Mo gave a small smile, “He was injured and almost drowned, he probably won’t be in a good state tomorrow, not suitable for joining us.”

As he said this, he looked at Shen Fei, who was still unconscious. His voice became even quieter,

“I also have my selfish reasons, Tan Xiao still has a puzzle piece to protect himself even if danger comes, but Shen Fei doesn’t… I hope that when we leave the game, I can return him, unharmed, back to our parents.”

“What about me if he is unharmed?” Bai Youwei pokes him in the chest, unsatisfied, “Do you know how many times your brother dropped me today? Four times!… No, that’s wrong, it was five times! I lost count, anyway, he dropped me so many times! ”

Shen Mo was taken aback, looking down at her, “He intentionally dropped you?”

“Even if it wasn’t intentional, can he just drop me as he wishes?” Bai Youwei rolled up her sleeves to show him her elbow. “Look here, it’s skinned, and also here…”

She brushed back her bangs to show him her forehead.

“Is it swollen yet? I’m sure it’s swollen, right? I can feel it! And there are also my legs, look…my knees, my waist, all over…”

Shen Mo grabbed her hand that was about to lift her skirt, speaking helplessly, “Alright, that’s enough.”

Bai Youwei was upset and dropped her skirt, “In my whole life, I haven’t been dropped as many times as I have today! I don’t care, tomorrow you must keep him away from me! I don’t want him to take care of me.”

The further away he stays, the safer it will be, in case he dies, it won’t have anything to do with her.

Even if Shen Mo wouldn’t blame her, she decided to nip any potential disruption to their relationship in the bud!
