Chapter 1116: Chapter 1116: Side Story – Live Streaming World 85

Shen Mo’s thin lips curved slightly upward, looking at her amusedly, “Or else, continue playing on your phone?”

Bai Youwei: “…”

She suddenly felt frustrated. This man, usually so cool and aloof which could be quite provocative, sometimes was really too unromantic…

Did she get all cleaned up and fragrant just to play on her phone?

What?

He must be pretending to be confused, right?… Could it be that gaming had drained his energy today?

Indeed, they had several close shaves. Ensuring no casualties on the team was largely due to Shen Mo’s critical combat abilities. If it were any other team, they would have suffered heavy losses just from the monsters in the parking lot alone.

Would Shen Mo mind that?

He always cared about his teammates, even though he had only joined this team two weeks ago… but perhaps, he had already developed camaraderie?

Bai Youwei’s eyes rolled around as she spoke again, “To score high, risks are inevitable. There’s no such thing as a surefire bet in this world, at most we can just prepare in advance and adapt accordingly.”

“Hmm.” Shen Mo murmured softly, leaning down to peck her forehead.

“Giving everyone a heads-up might be safer, but it might also diminish the effect…” She chose her words carefully, trying to deflect any blame from herself, “After all, not everyone has acting skills as excellent as mine.”

Shen Mo laughed audibly, collapsing onto her and unable to get up immediately. His chest vibrated with laughter, exuding waves of warm breath. Bai Youwei’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she pushed him discontentedly but to no avail.

“What’s so funny! I’m not wrong. The audience wants to see a story that could change at any moment, not a foreknown ending nor a set offensive routine.” She furrowed her brows, earnestly saying to him, “You guys keep grinding dungeons, blocking out the commentator and barrage, but have you forgotten that this isn’t just a dungeon, it’s also a live broadcast? The preferences of the viewers must be taken into account, and there might even be something like ratings to consider!”

“Hmm… you do have a point.” Shen Mo pecked her cheek, his voice carrying a hint of laughter as he trailed down her jawline, “The logic is simple, but not everyone can balance it well. Exciting stories are bound to be dangerous, and too much danger…things can easily spiral out of control…”

Bai Youwei: “So let them suspect what they want, as long as I don’t admit it, they can’t do anything to me~”

Having said that, she huffed lightly and continued, “Besides, there are only five spots on a team. If they find out the key to breaking records, will they think that I’m no longer of any use and just kick me out of the team, then bring in their own close acquaintances? That Yuri has been here for two years, he must know a lot of people, right? Just consider me to be cautious–even paranoid–but after all, we haven’t known each other for long, so I should be on guard, right?”

She pushed at Shen Mo who was on top of her: “Husband, you’ll stand by my side, right? You used to pamper me the most, love me the most, always indulging and protecting me. Even if you’ve lost your memory now, you can’t be unsupportive… Ah!”

A slight pricking pain on her neck, Bai Youwei complained with annoyance as she hit his shoulder, “Why did you bite me?”

Shen Mo lifted himself a bit, looking at her helplessly and asked, “Are we just going to chat in this position?”

Bai Youwei: “…”

The temperature on her face rose rapidly!

She turned her face away in extreme discomfort, her eyes darting around, cheeks flushed and looking both flustered and slightly expectant–

“You… you mean, we’re going to… do that now?”

Shen Mo propped himself on his elbows, his dark eyes gleaming with a smile as he looked at her, “Can I continue now?”
