Chapter 702: 702: Resting

After ten minutes, not only had the severed hand painted its nails, but it had also gained an extra “face” on its forearm.

Bai Youwei applied the new makeup techniques she’d recently learned, drawing brows and eyes, applying lipstick and blush, and even sticking on a pair of thick and curled false eyelashes.

The severed hand cheerfully descended the stairs to collect eggs.

Returning to the courtyard, Teacher Chang was startled by the sight and nearly dropped the eggs he had in hand!

Watching from the window, Bai Youwei couldn’t contain her laughter. She laughed so hard that the facial mask on her leg fell off in pieces.

Downstairs, Teacher Chang sighed and reassured the severed hand.

After a while, Bai Youwei heard the sound of footsteps climbing the stairs and heading towards the bathroom as if to help it clean up.

The sound of running water mixed with Teacher Chang’s intermittent soothing words came through:

“Don’t be sad… Weiwei’s just pulling a prank on you…”

Teacher Chang really has the heart of a bodhisattva, even extending his kindness towards this game creature and offering it comfort.

Bai Youwei couldn’t imagine doing the same, perhaps her blood is colder by a few degrees than others’.

If she hadn’t met Shen Mo, Tan Xiao, Teacher Chang, Pan Xiaoxin, Su Man, Zhu Shu, Yan Qingwen, and Yu Yaqing…

Perhaps, she’d be even colder.

Teacher Chang gently knocked on Bai Youwei’s door, sounding helpless: “Weiwei, do you know how to wash this off?”

Opening the door, Bai Youwei saw the severed hand lying in Teacher Chang’s arms, in a feigned death position as if it had lost the will to live.

She couldn’t help but burst into laughter again!

Teacher Chang sighed: “Don’t bully it anymore. Think of how we can clean this up…”

“We’ll need makeup remover for this.” Bai Youwei turned to find the makeup remover, laughingly said, “Teacher Chang, you’re really kind to it, as if you’re caring for a pet.”

“Do no evil, carry out all that’s good…” Teacher Chang mused, “If you’re good to others, they’ll also be good to you. It’s all mutual.”

Really?

Bai Youwei felt that most of the time, when you’re kind to others, they only take advantage of your kindness.

She shrugged it off with a laugh, handed him a cotton pad and makeup remover, and returned to him.

Chang Weicai carefully helped clean up the severed hand.@@novelbin@@

Watching from the side, Bai Youwei suddenly spoke up: “Teacher Chang, in three weeks, it’ll be time for the first King’s Battle. You’re aware of this, aren’t you?”

While wiping, Chang Weicai nodded: “Yes, Xiaoshen has set up a task for Tan Xiao. He’s been training with the coach daily, and Xiaoxin is taking logic classes. Everyone’s working hard.”

Bai Youwei asked: “Did you know that in the first battle, one of us two, either Shen Mo or I, has to exercise our right to surrender? So, there can only be one King for the second battle.”

Chang Weicai nodded again: “There’s no other way around it. If defeated, we’d lose lots of puzzle pieces. Besides, both of you are stronger when you’re together.”

Bai Youwei smiled and asked, “So, who do you think is more suitable to be the King between Shen Mo and me?”

Teacher Chang was taken aback.

It seemed he had never considered this issue.

Or rather, he never perceived it as an issue.

Bai Youwei and Shen Mo being in a romantic relationship, who becomes the King, what difference would it make? …No, on further thought, it does make a difference.

“Have you two discussed this matter?” Teacher Chang asked.

“We just got out of the maze, hadn’t had time to discuss it.” Bai Youwei said, “But, I believe I’m better suited for it.”

Teacher Chang looked at her with concern: “Weiwei, being a King is dangerous…”

“Let me finish.” Bai Youwei waved off his worry with a smile, “Then you think about it, who has the greater advantage as the King.”
