Chapter 960 Still Can’t Recruit

A 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, as if the pause button had been pressed.

Her watch lit up without warning, and then started counting down——

23:59…

23:58…

23:57……

As the inspector said, when the settlement of the fourth battle game is completed, the final battle will start immediately, and the start time will be 24 hours.

"Talk and laugh." Bai Youwei turned around and shouted.

"Ah?" Tanxiao, who was playing a mobile game, was stunned.

"Did Shen Mo say when he would come back?" Bai Youwei asked.

Tanxiao looked confused, shook his head and said, "Uh... it should be soon."

"Go to the western suburbs to look for him." Bai Youwei said.

"But Brother Mo said that we can't leave you alone." Tan Xiao put down the phone, "If anything happens, there must be someone by your side to take care of you."

"Aren't Teacher Cheng and Xiaoxin human?" Bai Youwei waved her hand in disgust, "Hurry up and if you find someone, ask him to come back early."

"Oh..." Tanxiao stood up and put on his coat. Before going out, he asked again, "You really don't need me to accompany you?"

Bai Youwei rolled her eyes: "What do you think?"

Tanxiao hesitated and replied: "...It seems, no need."

Bai Youwei: "Then you still won't go?"

Tanxiao scratched the back of his head and finally went out.

Bai Youwei watched him leave, sighed silently, and looked at her light-sensitive watch again.

The countdown continues.

She held the sides of the wheelchair, held herself up with both arms, and barely managed to stand upright for a moment. Then she couldn't hold it up any longer. She suddenly let go and sat down heavily——

Bai Youwei punched her leg hard!

"Damn it, it's a time like this..."

She really didn't want to admit that she was so weak that she couldn't overcome any mental problems!

There is less than a day left to enter the finals. With her body like this, how will she...how...

Bai Youwei closed her eyes and couldn't think about it anymore.

She slowed down and looked at the sky outside the window, trying to adjust her emotions and clear her mind of the confusing thoughts.

After a while, my mood finally calmed down.

Then, she tried to stand up again, trying to keep herself calm, telling herself over and over again: I can do it, I can stand up, I can walk, my legs are fine.

Most importantly...he loves me and he won't leave me.

I am no longer the same person as before.

When I think of this, my body seems to have strength, and my whole heart feels warm, as if a little sun is living in it.

Bai Youwei slowly exhaled, stretched out her hands to rub her knees, and murmured in a low voice: "I can do it, I can do it..."

…

Shen Mo didn't come back for a long time.

Time passed, and the conversation and laughter did not return.

It was already dark outside, and the food cooked by Teacher Cheng was cold. After being heated once, it became cold again without realizing it.

"Weiwei, haven't they come back yet?" Cheng Wei asked.

"Well, you and Xiaoxin should eat first." Bai Youwei said hesitantly, "Maybe... they were delayed on the way. I'll go out and take a look."

"How about you eat first?" Chengweicai said, "I'll go out and watch it for you."

"No need." Bai Youwei shook her head, holding both sides of the wheelchair and heading to the door, "You guys eat, I'll go take a look."

As soon as she left the doll house, the door outside opened and Tanxiao came in wrapped in a cotton coat. Her face was stiff from the cold wind and her hair was messy.

Bai Youwei glanced behind him and frowned, "Where's Shen Mo? Didn't he come back with you?"

Tanxiao shook his head: "If we are in trouble, Brother Mo asked me to come back and let you know. He will come back later."

Bai Youwei frowned more and more, "What's the trouble?"

"All the candidates who were originally selected as subjects have gone back on their word." Tan Xiao picked up the water glass on the table, drank it down in one gulp, and breathed, "We are really unlucky. We can't recruit people in Shanghai. Now why do we come here specially? We can’t recruit anyone!”
