Chapter 842 Died at the Starting Line (2)

"Uh..."

Though that’s true, my dear, Mom hasn’t seen you guys in days!

I’ve been staying at Ye Mo’s house, and Second Treasure couldn’t be happier.

Seems like the two little treasures have no intention of missing us at all?

Having two kids who don’t cling to home, Eleven could vaguely predict that once Second Treasure grows up...

"Mom, you should just go on a date with Dad. Aren’t you two in love? We won’t disturb you!" Cute said with a cheerful smile, "Besides, we don’t have time to hang out with you! Don’t call us when you go out to play."

"My babies, are you busier than us?"

"Of course!" Cute nodded confidently, "We aren’t free this weekend! Master, martial uncle, Daddy Ye Mo, and Fei’s mom, all of us have already made plans. We’ll train for half a day, then go play an escape room game in the afternoon, Master, Fei’s mom, and I in one team, martial uncle, Daddy Ye Mo, and big brother in the other, just right for three against three. We’re going to compete, best of three rounds."

"Escape room?"

Cute had explained so thoroughly and even arranged the teams—Eleven was sure it must be true.

"That’s great, I’ve always wanted to try an escape room! I just never got the chance. Including your dad, we’ll be just right for four versus four."

Is the gender ratio quite balanced?

Cute suddenly fell into thought, making Eleven curious, "What’s the matter, my baby? Something troubling you?"

"You better not ask." Jiujiu warned.

"Why? What’s wrong, Cute, don’t you want to play with mom and dad?"

Cute sighed heavily and said, "Let’s not talk about Dad for now, but Mom, you...ah..."

"What’s wrong with me?"

"Do you even know what type of escape room we’re playing? It’s not the normal kind, and even if it were the simplest level, could you handle it? I didn’t want to say this, but why force me... Mom, I’m doing this for your good, with your intelligence, you’d die at the starting line."

"..."

Bang!

Eleven felt like her heart had been ruthlessly stabbed.

That stab, quite deep!

"I told you not to ask." Jiujiu knew all along what Cute wanted to say.

"Cough..." Su Qing held back a laugh.

That’s the downside of having two little treasures with such high IQ.

"You little rascal! Am I really that exaggerated?"

"The escape rooms we play in aren’t ordinary," Jiujiu explained, "They’re comparable to ancient royal tomb security levels. Filled with infrared lasers, solving puzzles, dodging traps, a slight mishap could trigger mechanisms, Sword Array, mercury, lava, and so on, perilous at every turn. Are you sure you want to come?"

"..." Eleven wiped her forehead, "Baby, are you serious?"

"Hahaha..." Cute laughed uncontrollably, patting the armrest of her chair, "How could we really go to a place like that? It’s a high-tech virtual reality game! A game! Realism at one hundred percent."

"...Alright."

She had overthought it—while they were skilled enough for exciting adventures, how could they possibly take two little treasures there?

But even if it was just a game, Eleven thought it over and Cute was indeed right, with her lack of intelligence and skills, participating in such a game, she was most likely to die at the starting line.

OK... it seems she’s better suited for handling romance.

Eleven massaged her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

A top student from West Shadow, amidst a crowd of off-the-charts intellects, she somehow felt like an imbecile... What kind of karma was this!
