Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

In reality, the situation outside wasn't as heartwarming as they imagined.

It was all because Bai Youwei lost control of her emotions and threw her crutch at Shen Mo, trying to drive him away. But instead of hitting him, she lost her balance and almost fell. Shen Mo was quick to catch her—

Tan Xiao saw this very scene.

…

Shen Mo helped Bai Youwei onto the sofa. Seeing her face flushed and her eyes red, the anger in his heart was mixed with amusement.

"What are you crying about?" he asked. "You scolded me, and I didn't say a word. What do you have to cry about?"

Bai Youwei turned her face away. "Hmph!"

Shen Mo pulled a few tissues from the coffee table and wiped her tears.

Bai Youwei retaliated with a swipe of her hand!

"Don't touch me!"

Shen Mo was scratched, drawing no blood, but leaving a red mark on his arm.

He frowned slightly and looked at Bai Youwei again, his voice a little sterner, "If you dare to move again, believe it or not, I'll cut them all off for you?"

Bai Youwei: "…"

She bit her lip.

Then, she raised her hand, both decisive and hesitant…

And scratched Shen Mo.

Shen Mo: "…"

He didn't want to indulge her.

A minute later, Bai Youwei was forcibly disarmed.

Both of her hands were tied up securely. Shen Mo took nail clippers and trimmed her nails one by one.

The three people inside the room heard the silence outside and cautiously came out. They were all very confused when they saw this scene.

Tan Xiao was especially puzzled: "What kind of fetish is this?"

But looking at their expressions, it seemed like a temporary truce had been reached.

Teacher Cheng asked Shen Mo with concern, "I thought I heard you say you were going to Game No. 21. Is that true?"

Shen Mo held Bai Youwei's little paw, trimming her nails as he explained, "…Game No. 21 not only endangers the safety of the base but also my family. I want to resolve this concern before I leave."

Bai Youwei glared at him, speaking quickly, "If you can't solve Game No. 21, then move! The base should have plans to relocate, right? There's no need to fight to the death with one game here! So many people have died. It's obvious the game is too difficult to pass. Why are you still going to die?!

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, and her eyes gradually turned red again. "Anyway, you're not allowed to go! I said before that I wouldn't enter a game until I got a new puzzle piece! Don't I have any pride?!"

"The game may not be that difficult," Shen Mo said calmly. "The reason for the total annihilation this time may be because someone was causing trouble, which may not be related to the difficulty of the game itself."

Teacher Cheng pondered for a moment, looking worried. "Xiao Shen, Weiwei is right. We can understand your concern for your family, but if something happens to you in the game, your family will only be more distressed. You… should you reconsider?"

Shen Mo slowly shook his head. "Shanghai is a safe 'vacuum' because of the maze that once existed. The locations of all the nearby games are determined, and their movement patterns are under control. There's no place more stable than here. Even if there is, it must be far away."

He looked up at Bai Youwei and added, "I will discuss it with Chu Huaijin and recruit another team."

Bai Youwei said in a nasty tone, "So many people have died, even the elite team was wiped out! Who would be stupid enough to go into the game with you?! You definitely won't be able to recruit anyone!"

Shen Mo looked at her. "If I can't gather enough people, I will give up on completing Game No. 21 and relocate with the base to the new stronghold, then head north with you."

Bai Youwei bit her lip in frustration.

The way he said it made her seem heartless, but… given their current situation, it wasn't suitable for them to enter the game at all!
