Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

"Hide in the mines? No, no, no…" Tan Xiao shook his head repeatedly, "It's obvious you have no experience! Hiding in there, if the cat chases you, there's nowhere to run! Listen to me, it's best to hide by the roadside, especially at intersections. Even if you're discovered, you can just run! That's how we used to hide when we got separated during fights!"

Shen Fei's eyes twitched, his mood rather complicated.

He couldn't understand why his brilliant and mighty cousin would be with such… such a street thug?

He had to remember that Shen Mo had always been an idol-like figure among the Shen family's siblings!

When they were playing in the mud and jumping rope, Shen Mo would pass by them, cool and aloof, and the adults would say: "Look at Shen Mo, he got accepted into a prestigious school!"

When they were studying hard for exams, Shen Mo would pass by them, cool and aloof, and the adults would say: "Look at Shen Mo, he skipped a grade!"

When they finally graduated and were working hard to build their careers, Shen Mo would appear on TV, cool and aloof, and the adults would say: "Look at Shen Mo, he's serving the country!"

Therefore! Shen Fei had always regarded his cousin as the lighthouse of his life! Guiding him through the fog of life in the darkness, pointing the way forward!

But now!

He had actually fallen to the point of becoming brothers with a street hoodlum?!

Was this still the cousin he had in mind?!

"Xiao Fei, you go to the mines with Tan Xiao," Shen Mo said.

Shen Fei was stunned. "…Huh?"

Shen Mo said, "The road to the mines isn't suitable for wheelchairs. I'll take Weiwei to see the castle."

Shen Fei was stunned, unable to react, and watched Shen Mo push Bai Youwei towards the castle!

"Hey… no, I… you… how…" Shen Fei was a little confused.

Tan Xiao hooked his arm around his neck. "Let's go! Let Brother Xiao take you around and do some on-site reconnaissance before the fight!"

Shen Mo and Bai Youwei walked further and further away. Bai Youwei said something, Shen Mo stopped, bent down and picked her up! Then—

Then he carried her!

"Why is he carrying her?!" Shen Fei's eyes widened even more. "How, how, how is he carrying her…"

"Oh, isn't it normal to carry her?" Tan Xiao dragged him towards the mines. "If he doesn't carry her, is he supposed to carry you? Let's go, let's go~"

"…" Shen Fei was dragged away, unable to come to terms with it.

…

Shen Mo carried Bai Youwei towards the castle, avoiding the scorching sun, and only put her down next to the rainbow-colored bench under the trees.

"Are you feeling better now?" he asked. "Are you still hot?"

Bai Youwei nodded listlessly. "My back is all sweaty."

"Why did you put down a blanket on such a hot day?" Shen Mo really didn't want to comment on her, and said lightly, "I'll go take the blanket away."

"Don't." Bai Youwei frowned. "Even if you take it away, it'll still be hot to sit on! The root cause is that the weather is too hot."

Shen Mo said helplessly, "What do you want?"

"Carry me over there." Bai Youwei stretched out her hand to him, justified and confident. "Anyway, we have to climb stairs inside the castle, so the wheelchair is useless anyway."

Shen Mo couldn't help but smile. "Wouldn't it be hot if I carried you?"

Bai Youwei asked him back, "Are you hot?"

Shen Mo said, "It's okay."

"That's right~" she said matter-of-factly. "Temperature will conduct. If you're not hot, my heat will transfer to you, and then I won't be hot."

"Then what if I get hot?" Shen Mo asked amusingly.

Bai Youwei looked at him, her eyes scanning him up and down. "If you get hot, you can take off your shirt."

Shen Mo: "…"

After a moment of silence, he picked her up and walked towards the castle.

He shouldn't have indulged in these pointless topics with her.
