Chapter 122

As Ma Sha and Shen Yue were talking, suddenly the sound of dense gunshots and footsteps came from outside the door.

At that time, Shen Yue only asked No. 14 to come over. However, it seemed that not only No. 14 had come.

Ma Sha looked at the closed door and suddenly stood up and exhorted Shen Yue, "Next time, don't open the door to strangers so easily. Although I said I would help if I could, if it comes to your own life, you still have to think more." After speaking, Ma Sha walked to the door and put her hand on the lock, "Good night, sweet dreams."

After that, Ma Sha turned off the light for Shen Yue and opened the door to go out.

When the door was closed again, the only thing left in the room was the bloody smell that Ma Sha had brought in just now.

Strangely, Shen Yue, smelling the faint bloody smell, slept unusually well.

The next day, when No. 14 came to deliver breakfast to Shen Yue, he also reported what happened last night. The intruder into Building 1 was a prisoner from Building 2. With the help of Building 3, he avoided the access control sensor of Building 1, found the right opportunity, pretended to be a prisoner of Building 1 who got the permission of Floor 34, sneaked into Floor 34, and hid in Ma Sha's room.

It took this prisoner a full three days from sneaking in to taking action, and he did leave wounds on Ma Sha. If Ma Sha hadn't noticed a different smell in the room when she returned to the room, perhaps by now that prisoner would have succeeded and obtained a large reward.

After the report, No. 14 couldn't help emphasizing again, "This assassination was completely aimed at Ma Sha."

The implication was, I didn't kill you, don't torture me. Shen Yue took a bite of the oil stick, chewed and swallowed it, then said naturally, "That person was lurking outside my door. I thought he was going to kill me and I was very scared."

While she said she was scared, No. 14 somehow did not see any sign of Shen Yue being scared.

After finishing breakfast, No. 14 took away the trash, and also noticed the patch of blood in Shen Yue's room.

No. 14 asked, "Do you need someone to come and help you clean this up?"

Shen Yue took a look and shook her head, "No need, just leave it there."

"Okay."

Life after that was no different from before, until half a month later, Ma Sha fulfilled her promise and brought Shen Yue the milk tea she made.

This time Ma Sha was slightly more casual than before, with a hint of aloofness gone. She only brought one cup and one pot, standing at the door and shouting to Shen Yue, "Little Yueyue, I'm here!"

Shen Yue took a look at the door and nodded almost imperceptibly, but Ma Sha still saw it.

She walked in casually in her slippers.

At this time, Shen Yue was sitting on the bed in a daze. Ma Sha seemed to be used to it too, and handed the milk tea directly to Shen Yue, staring into her eyes with a smile, "Here, I'm here to repay you."

This time, she didn't drink a sip first.

Shen Yue took the milk tea and drank a sip directly, then frowned.

Seeing this, Ma Sha's heart tightened as well, and she asked carefully, "What's wrong?" There should be no problem with her royal milk tea brewing skills.

With her brows still furrowed, Shen Yue said lightly, "Too hot."

Only then did Ma Sha feel relieved. She took the milk tea from Shen Yue's hand, stirred it with a spoon for a while, and handed it back to her. This time Shen Yue made no more fuss and quietly drank a whole cup by herself.

Only then did Ma Sha realize that all of Shen Yue's actions were lifeless, as if she was a marionette, hanging on by an invisible thread, barely alive.

"Did you like any of the dishes I ordered for you last time?" Ma Sha asked.

By now Shen Yue had finished the milk tea, with some foam left on her upper lip. Hearing Ma Sha's words, she raised her head and stared at Ma Sha silently without answering.

Ma Sha chuckled lightly, reached out to wipe the foam from Shen Yue's mouth, "Don't worry, I won't poison you, it does me no good. I really like crepes, shall we try them together tonight? I can test for poison for you."

Shen Yue sat on the bed staring blankly at the now empty tea cup, silent for a long time without responding.

Ma Sha did not urge her either, just sitting there quietly by her bedside.

No one knew how long it was before Shen Yue finally responded, "Okay."

Only then did Ma Sha's smile come alive again. She continued coaxing Shen Yue, "Is there anything you want to do now?"

This time Shen Yue did not hesitate and said directly, "No."

Hearing this, Ma Sha was not surprised. She made an invitation directly, "I'm going to work out now. If you have nothing to do, do you want to watch? If there are any projects you are interested in, I can teach you so you can defend yourself a bit in the future."

After speaking, Ma Sha stretched her slender arm towards Shen Yue. Then somehow, the arm that had looked so slender suddenly revealed very strong muscles.

Shen Yue poked at it. They were real muscles.

Ma Sha was a little tickled by the poking but did not dodge. On the contrary, she explained to Shen Yue, "Everyone here wears a mask and hides an ace up their sleeve. Those who look weak may stab you in a second, while those who look intimidating may be knocked out with one blow. Don't be fooled by appearances."

Having said that, Ma Sha directly grabbed Shen Yue's hand that was still poking at the muscles, and pulled her up from the bed.

"Let's go, get up and move around. You've stayed in this room long enough. Even in prison you have to live well."
