The rain stopped at eight o’clock in the evening.
The sky was also completely dark.
Shen MO stood under the eaves, looking at the pitch-black sky, thinking: It wouldn’t be possible to leave tonight.contemporary romance
Despite only being less than an hour’s journey away, they had to delay another day. Driving at night was too risky, they could only wait until the next morning.
With no electricity, no internet signals, and the situation in Yangzhou unclear, various worries weighed heavily on his mind, making Shen MO feel a kind of indescribable irritation.
Tan Xiao and Chang Weicai set up the pot again, adding a few sections of bench legs to the fire, boiling water to cook noodles.
The monkey pried the doors of a few dormitory rooms open with wire. Inside were single beds and tables, whether the bedding was clean or not was unknown, but it should be fine for one night.
They had dinner around nine, still instant noodles, accompanied by roasted duck and goose they had brought out from the food processing factory. Without rice and vegetables, everyone ate in silence.
Bai Youwei didn’t eat much for lunch, and also didn’t eat dinner, claiming she had no appetite. She went to rest in a dormitory room by herself in her wheelchair.
She had been meticulous with her diet since she was young, with three meals a day cooked by a nanny to her taste. It was normal for her not to stomach these foods; Shen MO didn’t take it to heart.
After dinner, Chang Weicai purposely boiled another pot of hot water, sterilized the clean glass jars two or three times, then filled a jar full of hot water, cooling it in cold water.
Once the water was no longer too hot, Chang Weicai handed the jar to Shen MO, saying, “Your sister seems to be feeling unwell, let her drink more warm water.”
Shen MO was taken aback.
Seeing his lack of response, Chang Weicai kindly reminded him, “She barely ate anything for lunch, and hasn’t even had a sip of water until now. This isn’t good, she’ll get sick.”
Tan Xiao was gulping down water, tilting his head back. Hearing this, he paused, put down the water bottle and asked, “Why doesn’t she drink? Isn’t she thirsty?”
After asking, he answered himself: “Oh, I get it now! She has been sitting still all the time, when the heart is calm, the body naturally cools down, and when it’s cool, she doesn’t sweat, and if she doesn’t sweat, she won’t be thirsty!…
What kind of reasoning was that?
Chang Weicai looked at Tan Xiao, speechless.
However, Shen Mo’s expression gradually grew somber.
He picked up the jar and turned to leave. The dormitory where Bai Youwei was resting was the second one from where they were. He grabbed the doorknob and turned, but it was locked.
“Bai Youwei!” Shen MO knocked on the door, a hint of anger hidden in his tone.
There was no response from inside.
Shen MO held back again and again, gritting his teeth in frustration, “Bai
Youwei! Open the door!”
Tan Xiao, Chang Weicai, and Monkey sensed that something was wrong, and they all came out to see what was happening, “What’s going on…”
Shen MO stood outside the door, his face so gloomy it looked like rain was about to fall.
Didn’t he understand? Bai Youwei wasn’t that she wasn’t hungry or thirsty; she was upset with him from what had happened in the game earlier. She felt she couldn’t rely on him, hence, she was refusing food and water, to avoid having to depend on him to use the bathroom!
Just how stubborn could she be?
To the point of neglecting her own health over a fit of pique?!
Blind rage welled up within him. Shen Mo’s scalp tingled, and he was unsure where the anger came from, whether it was directed at her attitude or his own carelessness.
No matter how much he disapproved of her actions, he wouldn’t let a disabled girl suffer because of their verbal quarrel. Yet, indeed due to his negligence, she had gone without food or drink for the better part of the day.
After waiting another half a minute and still no response from Bai Youwei, he stopped knocking.
With a dark expression on his face, Shen MO took a deep breath, turned around, and kicked the door! There was a loud bang!
The door flew open!
—Bai Youwei was lying on her side on the bed, her back to him. Even such a loud noise inside the room did not prompt her to turn her head.
Shen MO didn’t say a word either, his eyes quickly scanning the single dormitory room. He picked up her folding crutches along with her bags, hanging them on either side of the wheelchair, then bent over to lift the girl on the bed.
Bai Youwei was like a cat whose fur has been ruffled, turning around and aiming for Shen Mo’s face!
“Let go of me! She screamed..
