Chapter 78 - 78: 78 How Old Are You
“Although we have obtained a clue…what dangers exactly lie in the fog, nobody knows,” Tu Dan whispered. “Whether or not we should enter the fog should be a decision made voluntarily.”
After all, she’s only a teacher. She couldn’t command the students to risk their lives. But the most troubling part was this – those who are willing to go might not be the capable ones, and those who are capable might not be willing.
This wasn’t a situation where numbers equate strength. If a team of unevenly qualified individuals were brought into the fog, it would only increase the risk!
Tu Dan thought about this, her eyebrows furrowing tighter, mumbling to herself: “If we let those people downstairs go…”
“If they could bring an old man and a disabled man out of the game unscathed, it only shows their ability far surpasses ours,” said Chen Hui. “But, Teacher, didn’t you mention that we can’t just reveal the clues to others?”
Tu Dan was taken aback, and then realized that Chen Hui had heard her mutterings.
Nevertheless, this young girl has always been perceptive and calm. Even with only a few bits of information, Chen Hui probably could piece together what was going on.
Tu Dan gently told her: “I don’t want people to find out because I’m afraid that after everyone enters the game, allies turn into enemies, not only killing each other, but also using you as shields. You guys are just teenagers, how would you stand a chance in a fight against adults?” Chen Hui asked again: “So, Teacher thinks that they can’t be trusted?” Tu Dan was unable to respond immediately.
After a few seconds, she hesitantly said, “Let me think… let me think a little more…”
The night drags on.
Downstairs, two dorm rooms were occupied by Shen Mo’s group. Shen MO and Bai Youwei shared a room, while Tan Xiao and Chang Weicai shared another.
Shen MO slept on the top bunk, above Bai Youwei.
With his large stature, if he lay flat then the bed would seem too short, revealing half of his ankles.
Therefore, he could only curl up a little as he laid down, secretly sighinz in his heart: this was more uncomfortable than sleeping on the floor.
There was a knock on the bed board, producing a clear ‘thump, thump’ sound in the darkness.
“Shen MO, are you up there?” Bai Youwei asked from below.
“Hmm,” Shen MO responded. “I’m here.”
He answered her, but she said nothing more.
After a moment, Shen MO asked, “What’s going on, do you need to go to the bathroom?”
The voice from the lower bunk was filled with complaint: “Do I have ‘toilet’ written on my face? You always ask me if I need to go!”
Shen MO couldn’t help but laugh.
Wasn’t he just trying to take care of her in case she was too shy to mention it….?
After a while, Bai Youwei knocked on his bunk again: thump, thump, thump.
“Shen MO, why don’t you make any sound when you sleep?” Bai Youwei complained. “It’s so quiet, not even a sound when you turn around. It feels like
I’m the only one in the room, and it scares me.”
She said she was scared, but her tone hardly showed it.
Shen MO knew she was just being dramatic, troublesome, and loved to be coquettish.
Not in the mood to argue with her, he complied and turned over in the bed.
Creak… creak…
…creak…
Bai Youwei: “That’s too noisy, now I can’t sleep.”
‘ He was silent for a while, then patiently asked her, “So what do you want me to do?”
“Put your hand down so that I know you’re there.”
Shen Mo: ‘
Without a word, she continued knocking on the bed – thump, thump, thump.
Shen MO had no choice but to hang one arm down.
Half a second later she grabbed hold of it. Her small hand holding his big one.
Staring up at the ceiling, Shen MO felt the softness in his palm and casually remarked, “Aren’t you acting childish? Earlier, you were criticizing the middle school kids upstairs for being immature, but I don’t see you as much better.” Pausing for a moment, he asked, “How old are you?”
Bai Youwei glared at the bottom of the top bunk and deflected the question with a chilly retort, “How old do you think I look?”
Without giving it a second thought, Shen MO responded: “Three years old.”
Bai Youwei:
After a while, she huffed in annoyance.
However dissatisfied she was, she didn’t let go of the ‘paw’ in her hand..
