quarter past four in the afternoon.
Bai Youwei looked out the window, there was no cloud in the gray sky, and the city was quiet, like pressing the pause button.
Her watch lit up without warning, and then began to count down—
23:59…
23:58…
23:57…
As the inspector said, when the fourth battle game is settled, the decisive battle will start immediately, and the start time is 24 hours.
"Talking and laughing." Bai Youwei turned her head and shouted.
"Ah?" Tan Xiao, who was playing a mobile game, was stunned.
"Did Shen Mo say when to come back?" Bai Youwei asked.
Tan smiled blankly, shook his head and said, "Uh... It should be soon."
"You go to the western suburbs to find him." Bai Youwei said.
"But Brother Mo said, you can't be left alone." Tan Xiao put down his phone, "If anything happens, you must have someone by your side to take care of you."
"Aren't Teacher Cheng and Xiaoxin human?" Bai Youwei waved her little hand in disgust, "Hurry up, if you find someone, tell him to come back early."
"Oh..." Tan Xiao got up and put on his overcoat, and when he was about to go out, he asked again, "I really don't need to accompany you?"
Bai Youwei rolled her eyes: "What do you think?"
Tan laughed hesitantly and replied: "...It seems, no need."
Bai Youwei: "Then you're not going?"
Chatting and laughing, scratching the back of his head, he finally went out.
Bai Youwei watched him leave, sighed silently, and looked at her light-sensing watch again.
The countdown continues.
She held both sides of the wheelchair, propped herself up with both arms, barely stood upright for a moment, then couldn't hold it any longer, suddenly let go, and sat down heavily—
Bai Youwei slapped her leg hard!
"Damn, this is the time..."
She really didn't want to admit that she was so weak that she couldn't overcome even the slightest psychological problem!
There is less than a day left to enter the final match, she is dragging such a body, then how... how...
Bai Youwei closed her eyes and couldn't think any more.
She slowed down and looked at the sky outside the window, trying to adjust her emotions and clear the complicated thoughts in her mind.
After a while, the mood finally calmed down.
Then she tried to stand up again, trying to keep herself calm, telling herself over and over again: I can, I can stand, I can walk, my legs are fine.
Most importantly... He loves me and he won't leave me.
I am no longer the me I used to be.
Thinking of this, there seems to be power in the body, and the whole atrium is warm, like living in a small sun.
Bai Youwei slowly exhaled, stretched out her hand and rubbed her knee, and whispered, "I can do it, I can do it..."
…
Shen Mo didn't come back for a long time.
Time passed, and the chat and laughter did not return.
It was already dark outside, and the food Mr. Cheng cooked was cold. After it was warmed again, it became cold again.
"Weiwei, haven't they come back yet?" Cheng Wei asked.
"Well, you and Xiaoxin should eat first." Bai Youwei said hesitantly, "Maybe...they've been delayed on the way, I'll go out and have a look."
"Why don't you eat first." Cheng Wei said, "I'll go out and watch for you."
"No." Bai Youwei shook her head, holding both sides of the wheelchair to the door, "You guys eat, I'll take a look."
As soon as she left the doll's house, the door outside opened, and she came in while talking and laughing wrapped in a padded coat, her face tightened by the cold wind, and her hair was messy.
Bai Youwei glanced behind him and frowned, "Where's Shen Mo? Didn't I come back with you?"
Tan smiled and shook his head: "In trouble, Brother Mo asked me to come back and tell you, he will be back later."
Bai Youwei frowned, "What's the trouble?"
"It turned out that the selected subjects have all regretted it." Tan Xiao picked up the water cup on the table, gulped it down, and took a breath, "We are really unlucky, we can't recruit people in Shanghai, and now we run here on purpose, or No one can be hired!"
