Chapter 70
When Tan Xinman left for the training camp, not only did the entire Tan family come, but even the two brothers from the neighboring Ying family came over after hearing the news.
Wu Xiu was very confused about Tan Xinman's sudden decision to participate in the talent show in the entertainment industry. After all, in her opinion, the relationship between Tan Li and Tan Xinman is much closer than at the beginning, and the family scene that she once thought would never happen can finally be expected.
Although if she could only choose one, she would definitely choose Tan Li without a doubt, but if she could have both, she would not refuse.
She originally thought that Tan Pei would express some opinions on this matter, but she never expected that Tan Pei, who was most opposed to Tan Xinman leaving home before, had no opinions this time.
Facing Wu Xiu's increasingly puzzled eyes, Tan Pei rubbed her shoulders soothingly, "The child has grown up and has his own plans. As parents, we should learn to let go."
Wu Xiu blinked and nodded obediently. Tan
Pei smiled tenderly and half-embraced Wu Xiu in his arms.
The two went back to the house first, leaving the young people to chat alone.
But before leaving, Tan Pei turned his head slightly, half of his sight fell on the four young people on the other side, and a thoughtful light flashed in his eyes.
"Sister, then I'm leaving." Tan Xinman didn't even give a glance to the two brothers of the Ying family who came out of nowhere, and just stuck to Tan Li, "I will miss you."
"Don't worry, I won't miss you." Tan Li said ruthlessly.
Tan Xinman choked and puffed her lips.
But when she met Tan Li's eyes, Tan Xinman's eyes suddenly turned red. She blinked quickly, suppressed the heat in her eyes, and said firmly, "Sister, I will definitely get the first place!" I
will also bring all the beauty in the world to you!
Tan Xinman made up her mind secretly.
Tan Li looked at her sister who had nothing to do with her, was desperate and had a strange way of thinking, but was still a little girl in name, and sighed slightly.
But the slight arc of her mouth when she sighed was still noticed by Ying Heng who had been paying attention to her.
Ying Heng's hands slowly tightened.
He used to think that he and Tan Li were on the same side, that they were the same kind of people. People like Tan Xinman, who were so naive and silly, who didn't understand their pain and whose mind was only on making Tan Li become so-called "normal" again, were so superficial that they were not on the same level as him and Tan Li.
But now...
Ying Heng suddenly felt uncertain.
Perhaps, he was the only one who didn't want to see the sunlight and only wanted to stay in the dark.
Ying Heng's eyes slowly fell sadly.
It was as if he had finally found a mayfly that was glowing like him in the darkness, quietly waiting for the ending of living in the morning and dying in the evening, but suddenly discovered that the other party might just be the goddess of light, the flash butterfly, who happened to live with him.
Once the light shines on her, she will spread her dreamy and beautiful wings and fly quickly to a wider world.
Even if he wanted to fly with her, his thin wings were nailed to the ground, unable to flap or fly.
Tan Li's residual eyes circled around Ying Heng's slightly lowered head.
As for Ying Heng's biological brother Ying Xu, he did not notice Ying Heng's mood at this moment, and only looked at Tan Xinman hesitantly.
He opened his mouth several times to say something to Tan Xinman, but Tan Xinman looked away in time, causing him to be at a loss.
Tan Li glanced at Ying Xu.
It has to be said that Ying Xu's face may be naturally incompatible with Tan Li. Every time you see it, you especially want to hit him.
Tan Xinman wanted to magnify Tan Li's micro-expressions 800 times for research. Seeing this, she quickly made up her mind.
"Ying Xu, come with me, I have something to tell you." Tan Xinman waved at Ying Xu.
Ying Xu immediately trotted forward two steps, "Manman, you're looking for me?"
Tan Xinman nodded and quickly pulled Ying Xu out of Tan Li's sight.
Tan Li rubbed her itchy hands and rubbed Ying Heng's head hard.
Ying Heng, still feeling lost:...?
He raised his head in a daze, looking at Tan Li in confusion.
Tan Li: "Your head is still the same as before, it feels really good."
"...Oh, really?" Ying Heng raised his eyes, his face as calm as dead water, but inexplicably made people feel a little aggrieved.
Tan Li: "I asked someone a few days ago if I was really slow and if Big Spoon really liked me."
"Oh." Ying Heng was not very interested in this topic now, "It's not important anymore."
He used to think that Tan Li was the same type as him. Since she didn't want to return to the so-called "normal" world, he naturally had no psychological burden to let her stay with him in that dark and dark world. He could even try to pull Tan Li into a deeper abyss while removing the annoying ghosts that hindered their choices.
But now...
Ying Heng was a little reluctant to admit it, but rather than using various methods to let Tan Li know his little thoughts, he might hope that Tan Li could go where she wanted to go and not be held back by him.
Although he didn't have much conscience, he wouldn't allow himself to become an obstacle in the life of his savior, even though he thought Tan Li was meddling in his business when she saved his life.
...No, that's not right.
He must have found Tan Li annoying, and he didn't want Tan Li to hang around him.
Ying Heng said this to himself, but on the other hand, he seemed to be burned and avoided Tan Li's sight.
Tan Li gave him a strange look.
Ying Heng was thinking a lot, but Tan Li didn't know. She just wanted to say what she wanted to say at this moment, "It's not important."
"Whether Da Shaozi likes me or not, he no longer has the chance to say it himself, and I don't have the chance to tell him that I don't like him."
Ying Heng's ears trembled slightly.
Tan Li: "The past is the past. It is meaningless to dwell on it, for the dead and the living."
After she finished speaking, Tan Li was stunned for a moment.
If she had just come out of the infinite flow world, she would definitely not say such a thing.
She has always felt that she lives to give meaning to those who have passed away. For her, whether she has meaning or not is not the point, but... it must have meaning to the dead.
But now, why would she say such a thing?
Tan Li herself was confused.
Seeing that she suddenly fell silent after she finished speaking, Ying Heng felt itchy in his heart.
He clenched his fists, unclenched them, and clenched them again, repeating the cycle several times, before slowly raising his head.
He was just a little curious.
As soon as Ying Heng raised his eyes, his eyes met Tan Li's.
They were both stunned.
Tan Li blinked, and Ying Heng also blinked. Suddenly, they both laughed subconsciously.
It was as if a gust of wind suddenly blew away the original thoughts in their hearts.
"Well," Ying Heng's voice was warmer than usual in the wind, "If it were me, I wouldn't want the person I like to think about these things after I die."
"Just live well and be happy, then I can feel at ease."
Of course, it would be even better if she could think of him occasionally.
Ying Heng hid the last sentence in his heart.
Tan Li was attracted by the strands of hair on his head blown by the wind, and subconsciously reached out to help him suppress his playful ahoge.
While moving, she also imagined what Ying Heng said.
If she died -
then no matter who survived in the end, she would hope that the other person would live well.
The best would be the kind that could make them forget all the hardships they had suffered in the infinite flow world, regard everything that happened as a nightmare, and then return to the sun to live an ordinary, simple and happy life.
If it was Le Tong, she could live a life where she could change beautiful clothes every day. If it was
Dashaozi, she could try all the delicacies in the world.
If it was a otaku, she could play games from morning to night without being nagged.
If it was a sister control, she could do whatever she wanted with money.
If it was her sister, she could sleep until she woke up naturally every day.
If it was Binghuaer, she could hide out and take a walk to realize her dream of traveling around the world.
If it was her...
Tan Li paused.
Ying Heng was still uncomfortable because Tan Li helped him to tidy up his hair the previous second, and the next second he felt Tan Li's hand stopped on his head.
At that moment, Ying Heng didn't even think, but instinctively grabbed Tan Li's wrist.
"What's wrong?"
His voice and the warmth of his palm lingered, and Tan Li suddenly woke up.
If it were her, she could live in an environment full of love. Whether it was friendship, family love, or love, the people around her were willing to give her love generously, and she would not have to worry about not getting good results all the time, and would always have the ability to love bravely.
"I want a lot of love, not only to get it from others, but also to make my heart full so that it will never run dry and can be shared with others continuously."
That was the first day their team was officially formed, and that's what Tan Li said when they were shouting their dreams together on the cliff.
Tan Li remembered all the words, but she forgot what she said back then.
Now thinking about it...
Tan Li covered her face in embarrassment: I was really a middle school student when I was young.
At that time, she had only been in the infinite flow world for a few years. She finally met a group of like-minded teammates. They shouted their dreams for the future to the mountains together. Such a youthful thing, how could Tan Li, a middle school student with a second syndrome
, get too excited. She grew up in an orphanage since she was a child. She lacked love and was a little insecure. But at that time, she was surrounded by teammates who she felt she could rely on and trust in life and death. How happy she was! It was like drinking fake wine, and she vomited out the most real thoughts in her heart.
But later, as they spent more and more time in the infinite flow world, they experienced more and more deaths. They didn't know whether their hearts had changed or they had become numb. In the end, everything was different, until the final battle, when the two camps killed each other...
Tan Li lowered her eyes.
She gently waved Ying Heng's hand away and patted his head, "It's hard to forget the past."
"...Yeah," Ying Heng looked at his empty palm and clenched his fist, "It's really too hard."
But in just a moment, the two of them began to become sad again.
"What's hard?" Tan Xinman didn't know when she finished talking to Ying Xu and walked back.
Tan Li and Ying Heng's expressions returned to their usual coldness in a second, and they said in unison, "It's nothing."
"Children should stay out of the adults' business." Tan Li frowned.
Tan Xinman: ???
Tan Li continued to speak, "Also, aren't you going to report to the training camp? Hurry up, don't be late on the first day."
Tan Xinman was half-hurried into the car.
After she left, Tan Li waved her hand casually, as if saying goodbye.
Tan Li was about to go back to the house when Ying Heng suddenly called her -
