Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 834 Liberation

Yu Shijiu spoke with a very serious expression, and even took Thumbelina's hand and led her towards the edge of the lotus flowers.

"look."

Yu Shijiu pointed to the dense clusters of lotus flowers on the water's surface and sighed:

"There are just too many lotus leaves, Thumbelina. Do you think we can choose a safe and harmless lotus leaf to be rescued by the fish?"

As if in response to Yu Shijiu's words, several bubbles suddenly appeared around the mouth of the grass carp that had been circling the lotus flower, and its head emerged from the water.

"You don't have much time left to think."

The grass carp's voice was as clear and melodious as ever: "Hurry up, the toads will be back soon."

“If they come back…” The grass carp’s eyes darted around erratically, its voice becoming somewhat eerie: “We won’t be able to save you either…”

Thumbelina trembled with fear at the grass carp's words and anxiously turned to look at Yu Shijiu, "Shijiu! What should we do!"

"Follow your heart."

Yu Shijiu's lips slowly curled upwards. He gently shook his hand, which was clasped with Thumbelina's, and said seductively:

"Thumbelina, you have to believe in yourself. Don't worry, I'll jump with you. You believe me, right? I won't let anything happen to you. We're friends, aren't we?"

The boy's voice was calm, so calm that the subtle seduction hidden within it was almost imperceptible unless one listened carefully.

Thumbelina, as expected, didn't recognize it either.

She stared blankly into Yu Shijiu's eyes, stirred by the encouragement, expectation, and... barely perceptible excitement in them.

"Really, really?"

Thumbelina opened her mouth and said, "You think I can choose a safe lily leaf, right?"

"of course."

Yu Shijiu nodded and said, "If you can't, then who can?"

"Believe in yourself, and I believe in you too."

"Choose."

After repeating everything, Yu Shijiu glanced at He Lingling and Xu Han without making a sound.

He Lingling nodded almost imperceptibly, indicating that she had been watching.

Xu Han stared wide-eyed as if facing a formidable enemy, wishing he had more eyes to look in all directions.

Thumbelina was persuaded.

She took a deep breath, gripped Yu Shijiu's hand tightly, and nodded, saying:

"Yes, I can do it. I'm sure I can choose a safe lotus leaf and then leave, leave this place."

Yu Shijiu felt his hand being held tightly by the other person, completely disregarding the coldness of their hand, and smiled as he nodded to continue encouraging them:

"I can definitely do it, don't worry, I'll dance with you later."

"..."

Thumbelina, no longer hesitant, took Yu Shijiu's hand and looked around at the lotus leaves around the edge of the lotus flower before finally choosing the lotus leaf she wanted to jump on.

"That lotus leaf."

Thumbelina stopped and pointed to a huge, seemingly fresh lotus leaf not far away:

"Shi Jiu, let's dance on this lotus leaf together."

Yu Shijiu looked at the lotus leaf she was pointing to and naturally did not refuse.

He nodded, smiled, and said, "Okay."

Thumbelina finally smiled. She smiled faintly, and her pale face had an eerie beauty in the dim light.

"Together we will."

She held Yu Shijiu's hand tightly, making strange gurgling sounds in her throat.

"We've successfully escaped our arranged marriage!"

Yu Shijiu turned her head to look at Thumbelina. She looked somewhat agitated, and also a little, barely... relieved?

relief?
