After half an hour, Shen Mo and Bai Youwei arrived at the closest service area.
A crowd of about 20 people consisting of men, women, and children gathered at the service area. They were all in the canteen.
The original staff in the service area had disappeared.
When Shen Mo pushed in the wheelchair, the eyes of all the people inside focused on the door. When they saw that a man and a disabled girl had come in, all of their faces reflected disappointment.
Ever since something abnormal had happened to the world, people had been waiting for salvation. Whether it was a rescue army organized by the government or a religious salvation force, anything would be fine. Even if it was just a small light, it was better than the confusion and despair of seeing no hope like right now.
Shen Mo glanced at the people in the canteen. Guessing that the situation in the service area wasn’t optimistic, he pushed Bai Youwei to the nearby supermarket.
The shelves in the supermarket were basically empty. They found an electrical socket and charged the rabbit.
Although the fact that it had to be charged seemed low-end, the charging method was quite high-tech. As long as the plush rabbit sat on the edge of the socket, it could be charged without a plug or physical contact.
They just didn’t know when it would be full.
That thing wasn’t like any ordinary electronic products that could display percentages. It depended on the user’s feelings. Bai Youwei tried feeling it for a long time, but she couldn’t sense anything.
“Describe it,” Shen Mo said.
Bai Youwei asked him, “Does your house have a swimming pool?”
Shen Mo asked, “Why?”
Bai Youwei said, “It feels like holding a thin pipe and pouring water into the swimming pool. Guess when it will be filled.”
Shen Mo was silent.
Um, this description was very vivid.
The charging took a very long time. Bai Youwei was impatient from waiting, so she picked up the rabbit and said she would go to the bathroom.
She hated this uncontrollable physical need.
The folding crutches had to be hung on the side of the wheelchair. Toilet paper and wet tissues had to be placed in the cloth pocket on the other side. If she couldn’t find a sitting toilet, she even had to bring her own small stool.
Shen Mo pushed Bai Youwei to the bathroom then said with a rare emotion, “I entered the women’s bathroom for the first time in my life.”
Bai Youwei said coldly, “You just came to the women’s bathroom. It’s not like you had to take off a woman’s pants.”
After saying this, she thought about how before, not only going to the bathroom, but also washing, bathing, and massaging, were all done with the help of a caregiver and a nanny. However, now she had to rely on a man with who she wasn’t familiar with.
She felt disdainful. She was contemptuous of Shen Mo but was even more so of herself.
“But you should be familiar with taking off women’s pants.” Her mood deteriorated, and she became more and more bitter.
Shen Mo glanced at her aloofly.
If he had to take off a woman’s pants, it would really be his first time.
But if they were to argue about this, it would be too immature.
He knew very well that Bai Youwei had a fickle tempter. Once a sensitive nerve of hers was struck, she would become aggressive and as sharp as a hedgehog.
It must be really tough for her to insist on putting on a fierce act with such a soft and cute appearance, just like an alarmed cat.
Pushing the wheelchair to find a fairly clean stall, Shen Mo became amused and asked Bai Youwei, “You want to take off your pants while sitting or standing?”
Bai Youwei had her face drawn and bit her lower lip. Finally, she awkwardly took out a bag of things from her side pocket and shoved them into Shen Mo’s hand.
“Put this mat on,” she ordered coldly like an arrogant queen.
Shen Mo unpacked the bag. Inside was a toilet seat pad. It was a disposable one. She probably frequently used this whenever she went out.
He bent over to lay down the toilet cushion, then turned around and found that Bai Youwei had stood up on her own with her crutches.
With tiny beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, she looked exhausted.
“You really don’t need my help?” Shen Mo asked as he looked at her.
Bai Youwei glared at him. “Go and stand guard at the door. No one is allowed to come in!”
Shen Mo asked, “Can’t women come in either?”
She suddenly acted like a cat that had its tail stepped on. Her voice was cold and sharp —
“Yes! Women can’t come in either! Anyone coming in will affect my physical excretion! Are you beginning to despise me? It’s too late! Bear it! If you didn’t insist on taking me away, I wouldn’t need to be using the bathroom in this disgusting place!”
She walked into the stall with her crutches then slammed the door close.
She was rough and unreasonable to the extreme.
