This feeling was quite strange.

From childhood to adulthood, he had seldom interacted with women. The occasional women he had contact with were mostly mature, well-mannered, and elegant female elders. He hadn’t expected to associate the word “adorable” with a grown woman.

In the past, he would only associate this word with his five-year-old niece.

But then again, Bai Youwei’s affectation was not much different from his five-year-old niece…

Thinking of this, Shen Mo couldn’t help but smile, somewhat amused.

The woman in his arms noticed his slight change in emotion—

“What are you laughing at?” Bai Youwei challenged him fiercely. “Are you mocking me in your heart? Do you think I’m glad to be held by you? If it wasn’t for your people dismantling my wheelchair…”

Shen Mo changed the subject: “Is the new wheelchair I found for you suitable?”

Bai Youwei was taken aback and then scoffed disdainfully. “Hmph, it smells like disinfectant…”

But she didn’t say it was bad.

The wheelchair was something Shen Mo had fetched from Hangzhou Hospital.

Returning to the tent, it was still a quiet night.

Everyone was resting, and no one noticed the couple had gone out.

Laying side by side, they kept awake, one moment reminiscing about the rewards from the dollhouse game, the other contemplating their impending destination.

Bai Youwei turned over, facing Shen Mo, and asked softly: “What are you planning to do after we see Professor Song?”

Shen Mo stared at the roof of the tent, and after a while, he said, “… I might try to find my family members.”

“Where will you look?” Bai Youwei asked further.

Shen Mo shook his head slowly.

In this world without electricity, internet, or any means of communication, finding someone was like finding a needle in a haystack.

He looked at her: “What about you? Have you thought about looking for your parents?”

Bai Youwei replied quickly: “No.”

Shen Mo:

Bai Youwei explained to him: “Think about it, they’re either in trouble now, or they’re not. If they’re in trouble, there’s no point in finding them; if they’re not, they’re surely struggling. A daughter with disabled legs suddenly showing up isn’t that going to put more burden on them?”

Shen Mo laughed: “You’re thoughtful.”

Bai Youwei candidly replied: “I just don’t like to be annoying.”

“Are you not afraid that I find you annoying?” Shen Mo asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Bai Youwei slightly narrowed her eyes, her gaze becoming dangerous, “…. Are you annoyed?”

This question was a bit tricky, not easy to answer, it’s either perfunctory or ambiguous.

Just as Shen Mo was pondering, Bai Youwei suddenly said: “Gosh, I’m suddenly so sleepy… I should sleep now.”

She then turned over, and went completely silent.

Shen Mo looked at her for a while before closing his eyes.

The night became increasingly silent.

The distance from Hangzhou to Shanghai is 177 kilometers. If you drive fast, you can get there in 2 hours. But in order to avoid the roads with the fairy dolls, they spent a lot of time on the road.

Upon reaching the Humin viaduct, they noticed many strange road signs along the way.

For example: 1.2 kilometers ahead game, trigger number 12, 2119-7-30, A05.

The game probably referred to the fairy doll game, the numbers following it were the date, the significance of A05 was temporarily unknown.

It looked like the road signs were very friendly, providing safety alerts to passersby for free.

As they continued forward, they discovered more similar road signs, some pointing to the left, others to the right.

Yan Qingwen stretched his hand out of the car window, waving back.

Both cars stopped one after another.

Yan Qingwen walked over to the SUV and said to Shen Mo: “It seems that Shanghai is safe. These road signs don’t look like individual actions, they should have been put up by a relatively large organisation after their investigations.”

He paused, then added: “We didn’t find any fog up ahead.”

Teacher Cheng sat in the car, puzzled: “Shanghai has so many people, why is there no fog?”
