Chapter 167 Xu Chi's Brainstorming Session
Five minutes later, Tu Chaoxi banged on the door with a dark expression.
"Tu Xiaomao, you can skip eating, but first take a call from your friend."
Tu Yao opened the door and muttered softly, "Is that Sang Sang?"
"She's coming to Yanjing tomorrow, brother, don't forget to go to the film set with her."
Tu Chaoxi couldn't help but roll her eyes. If only it were Cheng Sangsang.
He handed over the phone directly, saying irritably, "Okay."
The door closed again.
Tu Yao, when connected, forms Xu Chi.
Tu Yao's eyes flickered, "...Xiao Chi."
"...Are you here to ask me why I want to know what Jiang Peng saw?"
Xu Chi smiled and shook his head: "No, I just want to talk to you right now."
Tu Yao sat down on a stool to the side, looking down with a hint of helplessness.
"You always seem to do the same thing to me, and you never ask me why."
The young man on the screen smiled tolerantly, his voice low and somber.
"Because you've already told me everything you could say."
From the very beginning, she shared all the information she could with him through jokes, stories, and heartfelt conversations.
What she hasn't said yet must be something she can't say, or something she dares not say.
She was already too lonely coming to this unfamiliar world; how could he force her further?
What he wants to know, he will analyze and deduce for himself based on his unconditional trust in Tu Yao.
...
For example, if Tu Yao believes what Jiang Peng said, then he also believes in the battle in the black fog back then, and believes that the black fog caused the death of Jiang Fengchun's family.
He is a businessman, and businessmen instinctively view issues from a profit-driven perspective.
He would deduce that the black mist must be trying to obtain something.
He was still unsure what he could gain.
But Tu Yao must know.
He couldn't guarantee that he would discover all the secrets at the same time; he could only guarantee that one day, when Tu Yao was able to openly reveal those secrets, she would understand...
At least she wasn't alone on this journey.
...
"Okay, so what do you want to tell me?"
Tu Yao kept her head down, holding a small ball of blue light that her father had given her to comfort her.
"Tu Xiaomao, I'm worried about you."
Xu Chi's smile faded. "During the day, I saw regret in your eyes."
"I want to ask you, what are you regretting?"
The blue light stopped moving.
Tu Yao looked up, her back inexplicably straightening as she stared at the young man opposite her.
Everyone feels regret when they see beautiful people and things destroyed.
However, Tu Yao still harbored a layer of self-reproach and regret.
Can I say it?
Tu Yao lowered her head again.
After a moment of silence, "...Xiao Chi, I just feel that if I could help Madam Jiang save her daughter and her family, that would be great."
Xu Chi's eyes remained fixed on the girl opposite him, but at this moment, he suddenly lost his focus.
"...How can we save him?"
Tu Yao whispered, "If only I could time travel..."
"That's all?"
...and the progress bar's attribute range should be expanded.
But I can't say that.
Tu Yao nodded.
Xu Chi was speechless for a moment. Why was she so sure that she could save those people if the time was right?
Seeing his silence, Tu Yao sighed and continued, "Xiao Chi, I know you were sent by my brother to comfort me."
"I don't really need comforting. I'll be fine after thinking about it for a while."
"I'm planning to go visit Madam tomorrow, so you don't need to worry about me. I'll get some sleep tonight and be fine by tomorrow morning."
Xu Chi snapped out of his daze, his eyes softening. "But you want to stay with Madam Jiang, and I want to stay with you now."
The blue light in Tu Yao's hand stopped again.
A little red appeared on the tip of her ear, but it wasn't very noticeable through the screen, even with a dim desk lamp on.
"Oh...is that so?"
The young man on the screen gave a gentle look: "Yes."
"Tu Xiaomao, don't feel regret or blame yourself. It's just right now."
Tu Yao blinked and looked up again.
Two pairs of eyes slowly met in the light and shadow.
Xu Chi looked at her and said softly, "Just like you are here, I am here, your brothers are all here, everything is just right."
Do you understand what I mean?
Tu Yao nodded slowly.
"Don't be afraid, but it's okay to be afraid, because we're all here."
...
After a long half hour, Xu Chi hung up the phone with a sense of relief, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.
...By now, he has discovered quite a few secrets about her.
There seemed to be a danger that constantly terrified her.
She also seems to possess a special ability that allows her to be certain that if she could travel back eighteen years, she could save Jiang Fengchun's family.
Is it considered a way to...avoid risk?
In most things in the world, you can find a logical chain, whether strong or weak.
So... could this be related to what that black mist was able to obtain from Jiang Fengchun's family?
...
On the other side, Tu Chaoxi was listening outside the door.
Do you think he can persuade her to change?
Nan Ke's eyelids twitched: "Probably."
Tu Chaoxi glared at her instantly.
Nan Ke: ...
"Then...it's impossible to persuade them?"
Tu Chaoxi sneered instantly: "Then what use is he!"
Nan Ke: ...
The door opened unexpectedly the next second.
The two were taken aback.
Tu Yao's face was clean and white, without any trace of crying twice.
Even her previously red eyes have returned to normal.
She handed him the phone, saying, "Brother, here you go."
Tu Chaoxi slowly took the phone, observing it discreetly... The sound was normal.
Then she looked up and continued, "Brother, is there any more food? I'm hungry."
Tu Chaoxi: ...
You actually managed to persuade her?!
Five minutes later, Tu Chaoxi crossed her arms and looked at her younger sister across from her, who was engrossed in eating.
It's so annoying! I can't reason with him, and he gets even angrier!
