After Xiao Jingyan woke up, he hated her for a while.
Amidst his pain and a touch of longing, he eventually contacted her again.
At the same time, he had someone investigate her background.
It was then that he learned that the girl who had accompanied him and saved him in another place was named Tan Lu.
She's a celebrity, which aligns with her statement about chatting with him in the game.
She felt pressure, both from her family and from her work, which made her feel suffocated.
However, unlike him, she was trying very hard to live and to experience the beautiful things in the world.
But he was stuck in a dead end and couldn't get out, so he eventually chose to leave this world.
After Tang Yaoyao finished speaking, Xiao Jingyan felt as if an invisible hand was choking him, making it hard for him to breathe.
The pain was excruciating, as if his heart was being torn apart. He looked down and saw the scar on his wrist. Even though it had healed, it still couldn't erase that painful memory.
Xiao Jingyan's expression grew increasingly grim. He took a deep drag on his cigarette, his voice hoarse as he asked, "How did you know?"
Tang Yaoyao's expression also turned heavy. She took a deep breath and then felt a pain in her heart.
She closed her eyes briefly, staring intently at him, her gaze icy: "What if I told you that the girl wasn't Tan Lu at all?"
Xiao Jingyan abruptly stubbed out his cigarette.
The cigarette butt landed right on the scar on her wrist, the pain shooting through her entire body, leaving only endless coldness in her usually thuggish eyes.
"Don't believe me?" Tang Yaoyao said in a low voice, then raised an eyebrow: "Third Master Xiao, I don't need to know so much and then make up this story to deceive you."
She really didn't need to...
Those memories are too painful.
If it weren't for dealing with Tan Lu, she probably would never have recalled this in her entire life.
Even though that girl wasn't her, the pain she suffered will forever remain in her heart, lingering there.
Yes, that girl was the original owner of this body.
Unfortunately, she would never see Xiao Jingyan again.
Xiao Jingyan slowly clenched his fists: "What can you offer to make me believe you?"
“Style and true nature,” Tang Yaoyao said.
Xiao Jingyan narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, his gaze towards her carrying a hint of scrutiny.
Tang Yaoyao looked at him without fear: "Third Master, can you recall if the girl in the game, whether it's her way of speaking, her attitude towards life, or her worldview, is really the same as Tan Lu?"
Xiao Jingyan remained silent.
Tang Yaoyao continued, her tone much more relaxed: "You might as well ask Tan Lu some details that only she and you know. If she can answer them, I won't mind if you tear me to pieces."
Xiao Jingyan will naturally investigate this matter thoroughly.
He looked at her, lit another cigarette, all the complex emotions in his eyes vanished, replaced by his usual lazy smile, though a heavy sense of hostility lingered.
He exhaled a smoke ring: "What is your request?"
"Make sure Tan Lu leaves the entertainment industry forever and never comes back," Tang Yaoyao said bluntly.
"What if you've been lying to me all day?"
Tang Yaoyao smiled and said, "It's simple, I'll give you my life."
Xiao Jingyan paused slightly, lowered his head, and looked down at the scar on his wrist.
Tang Yaoyao did not disturb his thoughts, giving him some peace and quiet to think for himself.
