"I believe you will come back to save me, it's okay."
Bai Weiran gritted his teeth. Just now, Xia Yanle had threatened to kill him with a knife to buy time for the pursuers. In a way, she had saved his life, but now he had to face the painful decision of leaving her behind.
“I’m sorry, but I will definitely come back,” he assured her.
He could let Xia Yanle enter the teleportation circle together, but if it was a single-person teleportation channel, and one of them teleported away, he would be gone and she would stay behind, which would be fine and everything would return to normal; but what if she teleported away and he stayed behind?
Xia Yanle smiled slightly as she apologized to Bai Weiran, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes, though she didn't show it on her face.
Xia Yanle was actually very curious about what would happen if she entered the aperture.
Will I die?
But it sounds like it should be able to teleport to another place.
The light in her eyes dimmed.
Bai Weiran missed her reaction because the system's voice rang in his ears again.
[Note: This application process has special requirements... proceed with caution...]
[Caution: This passage... proceed with caution...]
The same warning was repeated twice, but he couldn't understand what it meant to be wary of.
He quickly stepped into the circle of light, and a countdown began to play in his ears.
[Teleportation in five seconds... five, four, three...]
"Danger!!"
Xia Yanle rushed towards him from outside the circle, looking anxious. Bai Weiran didn't react in time and instinctively caught her, pulling her into his arms. Her soft hair spread all over his hands and embrace.
What's dangerous?
The next instant, the blue light converged, and the two disappeared from the spot at the same time.
A bloodstained woodcutter lay alone, clattering to the ground.
In the instant he was free from the interference, Bai Weiran finally heard the warning clearly.
[Note: This channel has special application requirements. To prevent unforeseen circumstances, please ensure that multiple people other than the user do not enter.]
Bai Weiran fell onto the carpet in his own bedroom and exclaimed "Holy crap!"
Your official warning could be replaced with a more concise statement: "Beware! There might be a bug!!"
The bedroom door opened, and Yu Mengmeng saw it clearly. She was shocked and pointed her trembling little finger at Bai Weiran.
Bai Weiran looked down—oh no.
Xia Yanle had a cut on her forehead, blood was gushing out, and she lay pale and haggard in his arms.
What a beautiful picture of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress.
Wu Ji came out of the toilet, pulling up his pants, looking completely nonchalant.
"Sorry, cute girl, I was in the bathroom for a while. Let's have another round..."
The three people who were awake at the scene froze, while the girl who was pretending to be unconscious with her eyes closed moved her hand slightly, feeling the carpet beneath her.
Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Small Family of Three (Third Update)
Bai Weiran bent down to check on Xia Yanle's wound.
At first glance, it looks alarming, but upon closer inspection after wiping away the blood, it turns out to be just a small, shallow wound that doesn't even require stitches at the hospital. A simple three-piece set of iodine, adhesive bandage, and plaster can suffice.
Xia Yanle, however, has not regained consciousness.
Perhaps he was startled?
After all, she didn't even see clearly who attacked her in the end.
Bai Weiran guessed it was the girl with burns on her face.
This is giving me a bit of a headache.
He certainly didn't want Xia Yanle to come to the real world, but if she did, he wouldn't be so heartless as to throw her back.
Bai Weiran is not some kind of devil.
He covered the person with a blanket and walked out of the bedroom. He saw Wu Ji and Yu Mengmeng at the dining table in the living room, both in the same posture: arms crossed, chins raised, exuding an air of stern interrogation.
Wu Ji, like a thief crying "stop thief," switched sides to Yu Mengmeng's side, forming a united front. They pretended to be stupid and acted with indignation and ignorance. When they saw Bai Weiran come out, they even went over and whispered to Yu Mengmeng in a low voice.
"Tsk tsk, this guy brings a girl who's not fully conscious home late at night, and he can still look so upright?"
"I said there's a problem, interrogate him, Mengmeng girl, interrogate him thoroughly, don't let him get away with it!"
As Yu Mengmeng listened to Wu Ji fanning the flames, the brilliance in her red eyes faded.
"Bai Weiran, who is she?"
It was clearly a question, but because the voice was too young, it lacked any threat.
Wu Ji stood to the side, looking completely bewildered.
...Cute girl, are you questioning me? This tone is at most just tsundere.
Where did this yandere come from with such weak fighting ability?
Bai Weiran was of course not afraid.
He went and poured himself a glass of water.
He spent the whole night running through the underground maze without drinking a drop of water and almost died of thirst.
"How did you do on the questions?" he asked calmly, sipping his water.
"Bai Weiran, don't answer my questions with questions. Who is she?"
"A friend needs to stay with me temporarily. How's your homework going?"
"The cute girl did a pretty good job on the questions." Wu Ji, who had been a hero for a minute all night, chimed in.
Wu Ji was also quite surprised.
Based on Bai Weiran's mission description and the commotion he overheard on the phone, he judged Yu Mengmeng to be an immature, delicate girl who had been overprotected in an ivory tower. It was understandable that someone who had been ill for a long time would have a temper.
Facing the fear of not knowing whether one will see the sun rise again after going to sleep each day would make even a normal person's personality become eccentric.
Being obedient is useless; you might as well be willful and reckless, and do whatever you want.
But Yu Mengmeng's performance was beyond his expectations.
After Bai Weiran left, she suddenly became like a wind-up toy, quiet and obedient, eating half a bowl of crab sticks with rice that was clearly hot pot broth. After eating, she went to do her homework, checked it for him after she finished, and politely asked if she could play games.
With her little hands behind her back and her snow-white little feet kicking, she's an adorable little girl.
Having such a daughter makes me want to spoil her rotten.
Wu Ji's heart softened, and he willingly played games with Yu Mengmeng.
Then he lost seven games in a row.
Luckily, Bai Weiran didn't see it, otherwise it would have been so embarrassing.
Bai Weiran hummed in agreement, drank the entire glass of water in one gulp, and then poured himself half a glass.
He wasn't surprised; Yu Mengmeng was only a bully at home, but she was as docile as a quail in front of strangers.
I did spoil her a bit.
Others might not see it and just think she's being noisy, but he, who spends every day with her, knows that her antics are a way of attracting attention.
Yu Mengmeng is an unregistered resident in this world. She is unfamiliar with the place, has no friends or relatives, and doesn't understand many things. She doesn't like socializing and doesn't want to go out. She stays at home doing the problems he gives her. After finishing the problems, she plays games. From sunrise to sunset, the whole day is spent waiting for him to get off work so that someone can talk to her.
He was busy with projects and often got off work late, usually around 11 or 12 at night.
At first, she wanted to wait for him to come home, but he scolded her severely, and she obediently went to bed on time.
Don't you even consider your own physical condition? Trying to stay up all night like that? Do you think you're not short enough to live?
Yu Mengmeng could only see him in the mornings and have meals together on weekends.
So she pretended to make a scene.
She is a girl who is not good at socializing, and this is the only way she knows how to express herself.
Because I'm busy with projects right now, I don't have much time to spend with her.
Simply scolding and reasoning with them is useless.
Teaching by example, with emphasis on example; what she needs is more companionship.
I just haven't been able to find the time lately—
Bai Weiran held a water glass in one hand and reached out to pat Yu Mengmeng's little head, but the little girl, like a fluid cat, ducked away, her puffed-up cheeks refusing the head pat.
Wu Ji was so amazed by this incredible act that it surpassed the limits of human capability that he clapped his hands.
"How long will she be staying?!"
"...I'm not entirely sure, but I'll try to persuade her to go back as soon as possible!"
The little girl pouted, as if she wanted to say something, but after a couple of seconds of silence, she swallowed her words.
The question then shifted to another topic—
"You let her sleep in the bed, so where am I supposed to sleep?"
Yu Mengmeng usually sleeps in the bed, while he sleeps on a makeshift bed on the floor.
"You can sleep on my mattress first! You can sleep in the room, I'll sleep on the sofa."
Anyway, he doesn't really need sleep.
One hour a day, I can sleep anywhere.
Bai Weiran felt that the problem was minor and easy to handle.
He was already planning how to send Xia Yanle back.
The little girl stared at the tightly closed bedroom door as if a terrifying monster lived inside, glaring angrily.
Wu Ji sat between them, looking at Bai Weiran, who was calmly drinking water and thinking as if nothing had happened, and then at the little girl whose face was obviously gloomy.
