Chapter 247 There were two Tu Yao
Tu Yao remained silent. After thinking for a moment, Cheng Sangsang changed the subject.
"Teacher Tu told me that you went to the welfare home today."
"Um."
Cheng Sangsang: "Tu Xiaomao, do you remember? I told you that my family has built many welfare homes. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Standing nearby, Xu Bai couldn't help but interject, "Little Curly, you shouldn't help. Those glittering orphanages of yours are no reference point..."
"you……"
Before Cheng Sangsang could explode in anger, Tu Yao quickly asked, "Is Xiaobai still in the hospital?"
"Yes, big sister, she'll be discharged soon, so you don't need to worry."
After chatting for a few more minutes and listening to the two argue for a bit, Tu Yao finally hung up the phone.
The door reopened, and in the living room, Tu Chaoxi was still staring at the screen without moving, while Lin Yue sat beside her, looking on listlessly.
Tu Yao gripped the handle tightly.
...Little Daddy, can I make any decision?
110: [Either is fine.]
Is it really possible?
110 [Any option is fine.]
Tu Yao nodded. "I understand."
...
In the living room, Tu Chaoxi kept thinking about what Xu Chi had said.
She tried her best, and she owes them nothing...
"...Lin Yue, besides the fact that Tu Xiaomao has regained his memory, is there anything else that you find strange?"
Lin Yue was still looking at the screen.
He has watched this variety show at least five times since it started airing.
Before recognizing Tu Xiaomao, he pretended not to care while standing next to Lin Jing, taking the opportunity to peek at her a few times.
After they recognized each other, he began to look at each other openly.
He was initially afraid to look, but for some reason, he couldn't resist the sight of the younger sister in the camera lens.
He often thinks of those fragmented memories from his happiest childhood days through Tu Xiaomao.
So is there something that he finds strange?
Lin Yue nodded subconsciously: "Yes."
"Tu Xiaomao is very smart."
Tu Chaoxi turned around and frowned at him: "I know that, do you need to tell me?"
Lin Yue shook his head: "Brother, it's a different kind of intelligence."
“Brother, sometimes I wonder, can a person change so much? I haven’t changed, and you haven’t changed either, so why has Tu Xiaomao changed so much?”
"But seeing how much my second brother has changed, I think maybe I'm overthinking it."
During this period, even someone as slow-witted and dull as Lin Yue would often feel confused.
But if Nan Ke could transform from the gentlest and most peaceful second brother into a madman who sets fires, what reason would he have to question Tu Xiaomao's transformation?
"So I dare not think too much about it."
Tu Chaoxi looked at the corner of the wall, at the two large boxes of exercise books with messy handwriting.
A slight dryness rose in her throat: "...If only I could think more."
What would you think?
Lin Yue stiffened slightly, staring intently at the screen.
On the screen, Tu Yao is being chased and beaten by Luo Meili, who has just returned to the village.
She cried and wailed, "I washed it clean! I washed it clean!"
They ran out of the camera's view.
"...I wonder if Tu Xiaomao has become a different person."
"Tu Xiaomao is back again."
...
Late at night, with the TV screen black, Tu Chaoxi struggled to get up and walk to the master bedroom door.
Pushing open the door, I found Tu Yao already asleep. As before, after being scolded, she couldn't sleep soundly, her eyes closed, her brows unconsciously furrowed.
The little one was huddled under the covers.
Tu Chaoxi stared at her quietly... She's eighteen years old, how come she hasn't grown any taller?
It seems like I haven't grown any taller in the past six months.
He reached out his hand, about to touch it, but then pulled it back.
Unconsciously, she hugged her head and squatted down by the bed.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was awake or dreaming...
In the silence, Tu Chaoxi stood up, picked up her phone, dialed a number, and asked in a low voice as she walked, "When are you coming over?"
Nan Ke's voice came from under the door: "Tomorrow."
With a "click," the door was gently closed.
On the bed, Tu Yao opened her eyes, then closed them again a few seconds later.
After an unknown amount of time, a faint black mist flashed past the window.
In the still night, an undisguised oppressive aura emanated in waves, stirring up a sudden, violent cold wind.
A murmuring sound came from the wind.
"...Are you still here?"
"So you like this kind of child... You've always liked this kind of child."
"Such an innocent and intelligent child has obvious strengths and weaknesses."
The black fog quickly dissipated, and the night returned to its long-lost silence.
...
Tu Yao woke up early the next day.
As soon as Tu Chaoxi came out of the room, she saw her sitting on the dining table with a piece of bread in her mouth.
Upon hearing the noise, she immediately looked up and obediently waved to him: "Brother!"
Tu Chaoxi suddenly felt a little dazed.
Seeing that he hadn't moved, Tu Yao quickly ran over and hugged him tightly, "Brother."
Tu Chaoxi froze, remaining silent.
Don't be angry.
When the four words "soft and fluffy" came out, Tu Chaoxi couldn't help but speak up.
"Can you really comfort me with just one sentence? Don't you know why I'm angry?"
He regretted it as soon as he said it.
He's so disappointing, still so disappointing. It's always the same. He softens his heart as soon as Tu Xiaomao gives in!
Tu Chaoxi closed her eyes briefly: "Tu Xiaomao, who taught you to comfort people like that!"
"Is this what I want to hear, you..."
"Brother, is Second Brother coming back today?"
"Let's talk when Second Brother comes back."
Before he could finish speaking, a decisive and earnest sentence immediately interrupted all his thoughts.
Tu Chaoxi was taken aback, then slowly lowered her head and stared intently at the girl in front of her.
"……real?"
Tu Yao nodded emphatically: "Really!"
This time, Tu Chaoxi followed closely behind her, watching Tu Yao pack her small bag, change into a light yellow cotton coat, and quickly put on her shoes.
They were about to open the door and leave.
Where to?
Tu Yao thought for a few seconds, "...Let's go check on Xiaobai first."
"First?"
Tu Chaoxi's face darkened again: "Did you schedule a bunch of things for yourself again today?"
Tu Yao nodded. "Once it's finished, Second Brother will be back."
Tu Chaoxi fell silent.
He could probably understand that Tu Xiaomao was giving himself time to prepare for his confession.
"Brother, I'm leaving!"
For some reason, Tu Chaoxi suddenly felt a little flustered. "Wait!"
Tu Yao turned around and looked at him with a smile.
“Tu Xiaomao, I... I don’t care what you’ve been afraid of, or why you’ve been hesitant to speak to us.”
"But remember, your brothers have always... loved you."
Tu Yao paused for a moment, then her lips curled into a smile again.
"Also, the luckiest thing in my life was that half a year ago, when I was being attacked by the entire internet, I went to Crane Village and saw you again."
"...Do you understand?"
Tu Chaoxi tried hard to suppress the sob in her throat.
"Because of you, my brother feels that life has meaning."
"From beginning to end, it was all you... you know that?"
Tu Yao's smile gradually faded, and she sniffed, "...Okay!"
"...Come back soon."
"good!"
Tu Chaoxi watched her walk out of the room and then out of the hotel corridor.
Seeing that he could no longer see anyone, he quickly turned around, strode into the suite, and stopped in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
A few minutes later, Tu Yao ran out of the hotel, just like every time she went out, running and jumping, then quietly waiting by the roadside.
A short while later, she flagged down a car and got in.
With red eyes, Tu Chaoxi stared at the now empty ground, rubbed her heart which was suddenly pounding wildly, and remained in a daze for a long time.
I was awakened by a knock on the door.
Lin Yue opened the door and saw that it was Nan Ke.
"Second brother, why are you here so early!"
Tu Chaoxi immediately turned around.
Outside the door, Nan Ke looked travel-worn and unusually disheveled.
He held a thick stack of documents in his hand, his tone more solemn than ever before.
“…Brother, there have been two Tu Yaos in this world.”
