Chapter 61
Tan Li: "Tan Xinman, what did you do just now?"
Tan Xinman was startled, not understanding how the topic suddenly turned from Ying Heng to herself.
"Knock knock."
Seeing Tan Xinman standing there stupidly, Tan Li gently knocked on the table as a reminder.
Tan Xinman's heart skipped a beat.
That sound was much scarier than the sound of Ying Heng knocking on the phone screen just now. Combined with Tan Li's smiling eyes, Tan Xinman had the illusion that her blood was flowing backwards.
"Ah Heng just said that he was cooperating with you," Tan Li asked, "So, what did you say when you went out with that foreigner just now?"
Tan Xinman resisted the pressure released by Tan Li and tried to make her brain work.
First of all, this is a good phenomenon.
When facing patients with mental illness, the most fearful thing is that they have no expectations for the world, and are numb and uninterested in the things happening around them. Tan Li was curious about what she did, which indirectly shows that her condition is not particularly serious.
Secondly, should she tell the truth?
Tan Xinman had always felt sorry for Tan Li and avoided her for a long time, which led to a lack of understanding of her.
But in the few times they met, Tan Xinman had a preliminary guess about Tan Li's personality.
Strong, confident, and indifferent.
The reason for the formation of strength and confidence is unknown, perhaps related to the cause of Tan Li's survivor syndrome.
As for indifference...
Tan Li has no close friendship with blood relatives like Tan Pei and Wu Xiu, or people of the same age like Ying Xu and Fu Yunyun.
It feels that it is not that she cannot maintain a good interpersonal relationship, but that she is unwilling or disdainful to understand and contact the people around her. To her, other people are more like symbols needed for a certain purpose.
Only Ying Heng can be considered a friend.
But even so, the initiative in the relationship between the two of them is completely in the hands of Tan Li, as if she can abandon Ying Heng at any time as long as she wants.
Tan Xinman knows that she cannot compare with Ying Heng's position in Tan Li's heart. Now she only wants to heal Tan Li and let her walk out of the shadow of the past. But if she tells everything frankly at this moment, will she be kicked out of the permitted range by Tan Li?
Besides, even if she wants to tell him, it is Tan Li's privacy and she should tell him in private.
There are too many people around now...
Tan Li's substantive gaze made Tan Xinman sweat coldly on her forehead. She bit her tongue and tried to think faster through the pain.
A faint taste of rust came from her mouth, and Tan Xinman finally raised her head -
there is no creation without destruction!
"Xiao Xu, Fu Yunyun, you two come out with me." Ying Heng said.
The words that Tan Xinman was about to say were stuck in the middle.
Ying Heng winked and asked Fu Yunyun to pull Ying Xu, who was still in a trance, out of the coffee shop. At the same time, a group of bodyguards in black clothes appeared around and began to clear the place.
It has to be said that Ying Heng's decision is indeed faster than that of ordinary people.
No matter what decision Tan Xinman makes, a relatively independent and quiet space is necessary.
Seeing that there is a relatively quiet space around her, Tan Xinman took a deep breath and said what she wanted to say -
"That's a psychiatrist I met when I was studying abroad, his name is Steve." She gritted her teeth and forced her teeth not to tremble. She
said word by word, "I saw that you were not in good condition yesterday, so I asked him to fly over overnight."
Tan Li's pupils were dark and her face was expressionless.
Tan Xinman didn't know if her current choice was the best, but once the bow is shot, there is no turning back.
"Tan Li, the questions I asked you just after entering the cafe were the list of questions he gave me so that he could make a diagnosis from the side while sitting next to me."
"Although this is not a formal diagnostic process, but..." "
After the initial diagnosis, Steve said," Tan Xinman paused, "you may have survivor syndrome."
Dead silence.
Although the noise in the airport was constant, Tan Li seemed to have formed a silent barrier around her, blocking everything from the outside.
In such silence, Tan Xinman could even hear the "thump, thump" sound of her own heartbeat.
Tan Xinman felt that she was too hasty and confessed too quickly, but at the same time, she felt that according to Tan Li's personality, she would not like others to hide things from her for her own good.
Just as she said to herself at the beginning, she did not need others to be self-righteous and do things for her own good.
Tan Xinman was not 100% sure, but her intuition told her that Tan Li might be more suitable for the method of fighting poison with poison than carefully accompanying and caring for her.
If she is willing to come out, she can come out at any time.
If she is not willing to come out, nothing others do will be of any use.
Tan Xinman was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out of her throat, but after a long silence, Tan Li calmly said "Oh".
"It's not a big problem." Tan Li retracted her gaze from Tan Xinman.
"How is it not a big problem?" Tan Xinman disagreed, "Tan Li, don't take mental illness lightly. It is normal for modern people to have some mental illnesses, whether mild or severe. Active counseling and treatment will be enough!"
"I don't take it lightly." Unlike Tan Xinman's anxiety, Tan Li was very calm, "I know."
Tan Xinman was stunned.
Tan Li didn't want to explain anything, but Tan Xinman's worried look vaguely poked her heart, "I know."
"I know my own situation better than anyone else."
Tan Xinman didn't understand. Even without outsiders reminding her, Tan Li saw her inner heart very clearly.
She felt like she was standing on the shore, and then watched herself slowly sinking into the swamp. She knew she couldn't stay there for long, but she couldn't pull herself out of the swamp.
But at the same time, this swamp that might destroy her one day was also one of the driving forces that supported her to live.
"Tan Xinman, in your fantasy..." Tan Li couldn't think of the right words for a moment, "The normal me, will not exist."
The word "normal" was a luxury for Tan Li.
Tan Xinman listened to Tan Li's words in a daze, and in a moment, she made up her mind.
"Tan Li, but in my eyes, you are a normal person." Tan Xinman looked at Tan Li firmly, "And who is the one who judges whether you are normal or not? Do you think you are not a normal person just because you have obstacles in your heart that others don't have?" "
Besides, even if you are not normal, so what?"
Tan Xinman smiled, "Even if you are not a normal person, you are still my family, my sister."
Tan Li was stunned for a moment, and wrinkled her nose in disgust, "Tan Xinman, you have really become so disgusting now!"
As she said that, she rubbed the goose bumps on her hands.
Tan Xinman blinked and chuckled.
"Disgusting sister and abnormal sister, we are really a loving family."
Tan Li: ...
"Ahhhhhh, so disgusting!" She scratched the back of her head with her fingernails, and the goose bumps had already run from her arms to the back of her head!
Seeing Tan Li's crazy look, Tan Xinman's eyes brightened.
It's a good thing to have emotional changes.
In an instant, countless effective healing methods for psychological trauma flashed through Tan Xinman's mind, and among them, the one that is most likely to work for Tan Li is-
"Sister, I will do what you say and be myself." Tan Xinman said meaningfully.
Tan Li: ???
She seemed to have a very, very bad premonition.
**
Ying Heng seemed to have a God's perspective. Not long after the conversation between Tan Li and Tan Xinman ended, he came back.
However, he was the only one who came back, along with a pair of black and gold high heels on his legs.
The uppers of the high heels were black satin, and the heels were gold. Looking closely, they were in the shape of a scepter, and roses were carved on them, which was very gorgeous.
On the short road where Ying Heng's wheelchair came, it reflected a dazzling golden light under the light.
He was not at all curious about what Tan Li and the other person talked about. He just bent down and placed the pair of high heels on his legs in front of Tan Li, "Just wear them."
With the shoes, the three of them finally walked out of the coffee shop.
As soon as they walked out, Ying Heng's assistants Liang Yian and Tong Jing came to greet them at the same time, and the group walked towards the underground garage.
"Where are Ying Xu and Fu Yunyun?" Tan Xinman asked curiously on the way.
Seeing Ying Heng was too lazy to answer, Liang Yian took the initiative to ask, "Second Master and Miss Fu went back first, they seem to have something to say."
Tan Xinman nodded, and then naturally moved to Tan Li's side.
Before she knew it, Tan Li was grabbed by Tan Xinman's wrist.
Tan Xinman smiled, "Sister, I want to walk arm in arm with you."
Tan Li: ?
She shook off Tan Xinman's hand and said seriously, "Tan Xinman, control your shamelessness."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tan Xinman stuck to her like a dog-skin plaster.
Tan Li: ? ? ?
Tan Xinman hugged Tan Li's hand tightly, "I want to be closer to my sister."
Without waiting for Tan Li to shake her hand off again, Tan Xinman said firmly, "No matter how many times you shake me off, I will stick to you!"
Tan Li: ...
Is she shaking me off now or not?
Of course, if Tan Li really wants to shake her off, she can just throw Tan Xinman to the ground, and there will always be a way to prevent her from touching her.
But...
Tan Xinman hugged Tan Li tightly like a koala, with a persistent look.
So...
Tan Li sighed, the child is too clingy, what can she do?
"Little girl, you are not young anymore, it's time to grow up." Tan Li said earnestly.
Tan Xinman was briefly confused, then continued, "Sister, I will never grow up, I will always be your sweetheart!"
Tan Li: ...
She shuddered, and Ying Heng's suppressed laughter reached her ears.
Tan Li glared at Ying Heng, "You just watch?"
"How can I interfere in your sister's affairs?" Ying Heng shrugged.
Tan Xinman has been excellent since she was young. Even if she is thick-skinned, she is still very good. "Sister, be nice~"
Tan Li:...
"Ahhhh——" Tan Li couldn't bear it anymore and jumped up and down, "Tan Xinman, can you be a normal person?"
"Weren't you quite normal before? Why are you so crazy now?!"
Tan Xinman tilted her head and said innocently, "I think I am very normal~"
Tan Li:... She now thinks that it is not herself who needs psychological treatment, but Tan Xinman, the crazy woman.
Although she has always been very tolerant of the younger generation, but...
Tan Xinman is no longer a younger generation, she is simply a naughty child!!!
Little did she know that in Tan Xinman's perspective, although Tan Li was impatient, she never got rid of her again.
Tan Xinman was delighted and began to push her to the extreme.
"Sister, I want to ride in the same car with you."
"Sister, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"Sister, sister..."
It was so noisy that even Ying Heng couldn't stand it and changed a car.
Under the constant abuse of Tan Xinman calling "sister, sister" all the way, the first thing Tan Li did after returning home was to block Tan Xinman outside the door.
[Huh - finally quiet. ]
