Seeming caught in the act, Bai Youwei swiftly pulled the curtains closed, and her figure instantly disappeared. Whether she remained behind the curtains to continue peeking was now unknown.
"How nice," Ada said enviously, "having such a beautiful wife, who also braved the risks to move from the residential area to the competitive area for you, that’s definitely true love~"
Shen Mo replied with a faint smile: "In the future, when we get out of here, you will et your fiancée too."
At those words, Ada’s lips curled up, he flicked his cigarette ash, and said nothing.
After a while, Ada asked him: "Before Weiwei ca looking for you, did you ever think about her?"
Shen Mo thought for a mont and replied: "How could I rember soone that I didn’t even know existed?... When I first arrived in the competitive area, I couldn’t rember anything. I just had this vague feeling that I had forgotten sothing important, soone or sothing, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t recall it. Later, Yuri told about things in the world above, saying that if I went there, my mory would be restored."
Shen Mo raised his eyes to glance at the second-floor window, and faintly smiled, "Luckily, she still rembered and found ."
Ada teased him: "Look at you. You don’t rember her, but she does and even crossed zones to find you. Doesn’t that an she loves you more than you love her?"
Shen Mo was slightly startled.
He pondered the question seriously and slowly said: "You might not be wrong. If that’s the case... then all I can do is to love her even more with all my ability in the future."
"Man, talking about love~" Ada laughed shaking his head, "It sounds cheesy."
Shen Mo smiled indifferently and asked: "What about you? Missing your fiancée?"
Ada took a puff of his cigarette, exhaling smoke, his expression revealing resignation as he spoke: "Just a blurry shadow, doesn’t really matter if I miss her or not... Rather than missing her, it’s more a feeling of being unwilling to accept it... Every night, as soon as I close my eyes, that blurry figure appears, and yet I don’t know her na, can’t see her face clearly, and can’t rember what we’ve been through together that makes constantly obsessed. It’s this sense of being unwilling to let go, you get it, right?"
"Mm..." Shen Mo’s smile faded as he spoke calmly, "Everyone left here probably has that feeling, whether it’s Yuri or Natasha, the taste of lost mories... it’s hard to bear..."
Ada threw his cigarette butt to the ground, stepping on it silently, his voice lowered: "Yuri said he’ll ask a friend for help. In fact, I know who that person is."
Shen Mo raised an eyebrow, looking towards Ada.
"It’s a forr teammate of Yuri’s, who joined the team before Natasha and was poached by another team because of his good skills." Ada laughed with a hint of irony, "Tis change, who would have thought, the NB Team keeps getting better, while the team that guy joined can’t even squeeze into the top 100 of the monthly rankings."
He moved his shoe away, leaving the cigarette’s blackened ash on the ground.
"Yuri is sentintal. If that guy wants to join, guess... will Yuri kick us out?"
Shen Mo frowned, "Let’s wait and see, it’s too early to suspect him now."
"It is a bit early, but I’m also used to planning ahead," Ada said with a chilly tone, "Natasha has been with him for the longest and she is a woman; Yuri definitely won’t kick her out. So... it’s likely he’ll choose between us, either , who has joined the team for only a month, or you, who has a wife."
Ada looked down at the ash on the ground, his voice so low it was almost a whisper: "As for ... I’m used to jumping from one team to another, so it wouldn’t be surprising to switch again. As for you... taking your wife along, kicking you out ans freeing up two slots at once. After all, Yuri is an old-tir in the competitive area with many old friends, and slots are very important to him..."
Shen Mo was silent for a long ti before replying: "Sotis, the depth of friendship cannot be asured by the length of ti."
