Chapter 63 - 63: 63: Are You Jealous?
Bai Youwei slightly lifts her chin, her lips curving up arrogantly:
“Sorry, I am not as idle as you are. I simply don’t want to be a burden when trouble arises. There is no need for you to feel torn anymore. With Tan Xiao taking care of Teacher Cheng and mud on his body, you can wholeheartedly escort me to Yangzhou!”
Having said this. she sizes Shen MO from head to toe. her voice full of sarcasm, “Or do you think you’re not even worth as much as mud?”
Looking at her proud and arrogant demeanor, Shen MO is left speechless. After a moment of silence, he seriously asks her:
“Are you intentionally trying to provoke me because of what happened last night, or is it because of what happened this morning?”
Last night, he hurt her pride.
This morning, he disturbed her sleep.
Bai Youwei’s face instantly turns colder, gloomy.
Shen MO says, “Before doing anything in the future, think about whether it’s worth it or not.”
His tone is plain, yet sincere. He genuinely doesn’t want to see her acting impulsively.
“You are not me, how would you know if it’s not worth it?” Bai Youwei sneers coldly, her hands pinching the wrinkles of the long skirt on her leg. Her voice is soft, “…But you have a point. From your perspective, now that I am like this, the best way for me to live is to eat obediently, sleep obediently, and not cause any trouble for anyone. Because… since I am already like this, what right do I have to demand anything else? Right?”
Shen MO frowns, “That’s not what I meant.
“That’s exactly what you meant.” She smirks contemptuously, “You people are all the same; again and again, you tell me the same old things. You tell me not to be angry, not to be willful, not to harm my own body… But you don’t understand that, for me, my pride is more important than my life! I’d rather harm my body than be laughed at, be humiliated, be insulted!”
You people…
Something lightly grazes Shen Mo’s heart.
He recalls a family meal, where his father invited Aunt Wang and hinted at his intention to remarry. His father always wished for a well-behaved and adorable daughter.
But Aunt Wang immediately refused, explaining that Bai Youwei’s health is special, and she tends to be willful and not used to living with many people.
Shen Mo’s father disagreed, believing that letting a child live alone would make her even more antisocial.
However, Aunty Wang was an outsider and since they were still dating, it wasn’t appropriate to interfere much. In the end, the matter was dropped.
Now, at the end of the world…
Shen MO remains silent.
Bai Youwei watches him, her tone icy, “I must’ve been blind last night. The world is full of men. Don’t flatter yourself thinking that I have to be with you…”
Just then, Tan Xiao happens to pass by the door with a bunch of stuff in his arms—
Shen MO sees Bai Youwei’s eyes glint, and a chill shoots through his heart.
“Tan Xiao!”
The man and woman’s voices echo simultaneously.
Tan Xiao stops in his tracks, looking bemusedly at this pair of “siblings”,
What’s going on?”
Shen MO takes two steps forward, blocking Bai Youwei, and calmly says, “Could you also load two more buckets of water into the car? It will make things more convenient on the road.”
“Oh… Okay, there are some drinking water buckets in the dormitory where we were resting.”
Tan Xiao didn’t think much about it and turned around to go fetch the buckets.
Shen MO breathes a sigh of relief. As he turns around, he sees Bai Youwei sitting in her wheelchair, a pair of clear and bright eyes looking at him with a hint of a teasing smile, her lips curving upward in amusement.
“Don’t tell me you thought I was going to choose him?” Her smile is intriguing, “You rushed out so hastily… was it jealousy? Or are you regretting rejecting me last night?”
Shen Mo: ‘
