Chapter 58

"Yesterday I received a call from Ying Xu, he said he will be returning to China tomorrow, can you go with me to the airport to pick him up?"

Tan Li: ...? ? ?

Tan Xinman's expression was so serious, Tan Li thought she was going to say something serious, just like that?

Tan Li reached out to close the door without thinking, "No."

As soon as the voice fell, Tan Xinman's hand reached in.

Tan Li looked at her hand stuck in the middle of the door, was silent for a moment, raised her eyes——

"Give you a chance, take your hand back."

In an instant, Tan Xinman felt as if she was in an ice field, and the sharp frost flew towards her face.

Not only did Tan Xinman not take her hand back, she even took a step forward. Her tone to Tan Li was tougher than ever before, "No, you have to go with me."

She stood in the middle of the door, "Tan Li, you said let me be myself. What I want to do now is to go with you to pick up Ying Xu and Fu Yunyun at the airport."

"Ying Xu said before he went abroad that he would give me a breakup answer when he comes back. I hope you can give me a witness."

Her overly upright attitude made Tan Li feel absurd.

"Why do you two want me to be a witness to your breakup?" Tan Li was speechless, "Do I look like I'm very free?"

"Yeah." Tan Xinman nodded seriously, "You are very free."

Tan Li:...

"And..." Tan Xinman paused and looked straight into Tan Li's eyes, "Although we are not related by blood, I treat you as a real sister in my heart."

"You also know how much Ying Xu can make trouble. If he does the same this time, I think you will trample him under your feet like you did last time."

"Can you help me?"

After putting away her cautious attitude, Tan Xinman straightened her neck and back, and she no longer even avoided Tan Li's gaze.

Tan Li felt that her originally chaotic mind gradually became clear after being tortured by Tan Xinman——

"You are getting braver now," Tan Li said meaningfully, "Aren't you worried that if you continue to mess around with Ying Xu, you will have to go to the ground?"

As she said that, she glanced at the smooth floor and stretched her muscles like a threat.

Tan Xinman didn't waver at all, and explained seriously, "I have learned some self-defense skills, so I shouldn't be knocked down by you as easily as Ying Xu."

Tan Li: ...

Tan Xinman's eyes were fixed on her, and after a long time, Tan Li sighed, "Okay."

The little girl was afraid to be alone and wanted an adult to accompany her, so she couldn't refuse.

However, there is one thing that needs to be solemnly stated, "I feel that I am older than you, so it is okay

for us to be sisters..." "Then I will be your younger sister," Tan Xinman interrupted her tactfully before she finished her words, "You will be the older sister."

Tan Li: ...

She meant to say that she doesn't want to be sisters.

Tan Li had an inexplicable feeling that Tan Xinman had taken advantage of her.

"Sister." Tan Xinman took another step forward.

Tan Li: ...

She rubbed the goose bumps on her arms, and was extremely disgusted, "Don't call me that, it's disgusting."

Tan Xinman paused, but did not back off, "You said, let me be myself."

"So from now on, I won't look at your expression anymore, I will do what I really want to do."

For a moment, Tan Li felt that she was burned by the light in Tan Xinman's eyes.

Tan Li turned her head, "... whatever you want."

"Yeah." Tan Xinman didn't seem to notice the shadow under Tan Li's eyes, "Then I'll call you tomorrow."

"You continue to rest, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, she left without looking back.

Tan Li stood there in a daze, and for a moment she couldn't keep up with her emotions.

She had been sad for a long time before, so long that she almost thought she was going to be drowned by the past, and then Tan Xinman's knock on the door interrupted her.

After being pestered by Tan Xinman again, the darkness that was gradually expanding to the point of swallowing her was replaced by a speechless and helpless emotion.

Tan Li looked back at the room that was bright because of the light coming in, and her eyes gradually darkened——

"Ding Dong."

"Ding Dong."

"Ding Dong."

Tan Li's eyes turned into dead fish eyes before they completely darkened.

Seeing that her phone was still "ding-dong", Tan Li was furious.

"Calling for the soul!" She grabbed the phone and saw the message reminder on it -

Ying Heng: If you don't reply, I will go to your house to find you.

Ying Heng: So you want to go together?

Ying Heng: Tan Xinman also knows about it. She seems to be going to pick up Xiao Xu at the airport tomorrow.

Ying Heng: If you see it, reply to me.

Ying Heng:?

Ying Heng: Xiao Xu and Fu Yunyun will be back tomorrow

. Tan Li couldn't help complaining as she scrolled up the messages one by one. She didn't expect Ying Heng, who looked cold, to be a chatterbox behind the scenes.

Before she scrolled to the end of the chat message, another new one jumped in -

Ying Heng: I'm going to your house now.

Tan Li quickly replied to him: I know, I know, you are just chanting!

Tan Li: Tan Xinman insisted on dragging me to the airport to pick her up, so I will go tomorrow too

Tan Li: You little pervert, it's my fault, if it was another girl, she would be scared away by your clinging

To this, Ying Heng replied immediately: Hehe

Two words, a thousand words.

After mocking, Ying Heng got down to business: I'm going to pick up Xiaoxu too, and I'll pick you up tomorrow

Tan Li: ...

Unfortunately, Ying Heng didn't know whether he had finished talking or was taking revenge on Tan Li for not replying for a long time, so he chose to ignore Tan Li's ellipsis.

Tan Li put down her phone with a "tsk tsk".

The sunlight shone on the wooden floor, warm.

Tan Li was stunned for a moment, and finally, fell into the bed.

She closed her eyes.

She didn't sleep all night last night, and she was really tired.

**

The next day.

Tan Li turned her head to the left, and Tan Xinman was beside her.

Tan Li turned her head to the right, looking down, and Ying Heng was also beside her.

Not to mention, there was Tong Jing following behind him.

"..." She pinched her eyebrows helplessly, "Why didn't I know that Ying Xu had such a grand ceremony and so many people came to pick him up?"

Although she knew yesterday that so many people would come to pick him up, Tan Li still found it incredible when she actually saw it.

Including her, everyone present, even Ying Heng, who was the best to Ying Xu, admitted that his brother was not smart, not to mention her and Tan Xinman who disliked Ying Xu.

Why does everyone want to pick up Ying Xu at the airport at this time?

Ying Heng and Tan Xinman didn't answer.

Tan Xinman looked around and pointed in a direction, "Tan Li, it's too tiring to stand and wait like this. There's a cafe over there. Let's go sit there and wait."

"Then I'll send a message to Xiao Xu and ask him to meet us in the cafe when he comes out." Ying Heng answered naturally.

Tan Li: ...

These two really don't seem to have the slightest intention of picking up Ying Xu at the airport.

However, Tan Li was not interested in standing outside and waiting foolishly, nor did she reject the suggestion.

In the cafe, Ying Heng sipped his coffee and didn't say a word, but Tan Xinman chatted with Tan Li from time to time.

Tan Li answered her incoherently. When she got tired of talking, she would give Tan Xinman a look that showed her understanding. "Aren't you tired of talking so much?"

"No." Tan Xinman didn't know what had happened to her. She was so upright that she almost became thick-skinned.

Seeing that she was about to say something, Tan Li couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Shut up."

"Now, right now."

Tan Xinman paused with her mouth open, and after a moment, she slowly closed her mouth.

She glanced at Tan Li.

Another glance.

Another glance.

Tan Li, who was in a very good temper and had love and peace engraved on her forehead, twitched her forehead. "Go ahead, go ahead, Tan Xinman, why didn't I know you were so annoying before?"

The reason why Tan Xinman was with Ying Xu before, wasn't it because like attracts like?

Tan Li couldn't help but complain about the Book of Life in the main god space in her heart -

bah! How many times has this broken setting? If you don't have that ability, why bother with the Book of Life? It's useless! Incompetent! What's the use of you!

Tan Li's emotional words didn't make Tan Xinman feel hurt at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "We didn't know each other well enough before, but we will know each other more and more in the future."

After that, she changed the subject and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Then, she walked out quickly.

Tan Li: ...

There are people coming and going in the cafe. Even she can't say whether the foreigner who just walked out with Tan Xinman knows Tan Xinman.

She turned to Ying Heng, "What the hell are you and Tan Xinman doing?"

Ying Heng paused while drinking coffee.

"Don't lie..."

"I don't want to say it."

The two spoke almost at the same time, their words intertwined.

Tan Li: ...

She pressed her fingers and glared at Ying Heng arrogantly.

Ying Heng elegantly put down the coffee cup in his hand, ignored the "clicking" sound of Tan Li's finger bones, and looked directly at her, "I don't want to lie to you, but I don't want to talk about this."

He was so honest that Tan Li didn't know what to say.

"It was Tan Xinman who came up with it," Ying Heng said this not to shirk responsibility, "I think her trick is useless, but I hope her trick is useful."

"So I cooperated with her."

Tan Li: ...

She didn't understand a word of the mystery man's encrypted conversation.

Seeing that Ying Heng was unwilling to say more, Tan Li was rarely annoyed.

After a while, she leaned back in her chair angrily, "No matter what you want to do, it's useless to me."

Ying Heng glanced at her curiously, "I originally thought that Tan Xinman's trick was useless, but now..."

The corners of his lips slightly raised an arc, "Maybe it will work."

Tan Li: ... I don't understand, so angry.

"You know? Someone said something similar to me before," Tan Li squinted, "and then, the person was gone."

Unexpectedly, Ying Heng was not afraid after hearing this, but the arc of his mouth became more and more upturned, "People, they will not give up until they see the Yellow River, and they will not turn back until they hit the south wall."

"You are so old, don't you understand these principles?"

Tan Li: ...

Ying Heng's expression of success is really very annoying!

"Click" sound.

Ying Heng looked curiously and found that it was Tan Li who broke her high heels while sitting.

"Pfft..." Ying Heng couldn't help laughing happily.

Tan Li looked at him with dead fish eyes, "Do you want to try the feeling of being stepped on and broken?"

"Come on," she hooked her finger, "come here, you're welcome."

Ying Heng waved his hands quickly and closed his mouth, but the laughter still spilled out of his throat.

"Pfft..." Ying Heng tried hard not to laugh out loud, but his eyes were full of stars.

Tan Li's back teeth were tightened by seeing this.

"Tan Li," he said after finally calming down, "you are better like this."

Tan Li paused.

Ying Heng nodded as if he agreed with what he said, and repeated, "Well, you are better like this."

She would be angry and upset. Compared to the previous look of sadness and lifelessness, Tan Li now has a kind of alive breath.

**

The other side.

"What did you say?" Tan Xinman couldn't help but screamed.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to realize something and immediately covered her mouth.

But even so, she still said to herself in disbelief, "This is impossible, this is impossible..."

"Man, this is just my initial guess. If you want a more certain diagnosis, I suggest you let your sister come to the hospital for a formal diagnosis." The foreign man in front of her said.

"But, but..." Tan Xinman frowned, "Impossible."

Survivor syndrome.

How could Tan Li have survivor syndrome? !

Although she had not investigated Tan Li, she knew that Tan Pei had conducted a detailed investigation of Tan Li's life.

If an event that became the cause of survivor syndrome occurred, how could Tan Pei have no reaction at all?

"I read in a book before that people with survivor syndrome may have nightmares, emotional fragility and other symptoms," Tan Xinman was unwilling to believe it, "but she can usually sleep until noon, and she is ruthless when she is rude to people. Except for being lazy, everything else is normal!"

The foreign man asked back, "Then why did you let me fly over to secretly diagnose her?"

"Don't you also see that she has psychological problems?"
