Chapter 255 Let's Argue for a While
Workbook, black ballpoint pen, a hundred-yuan note, twenty-yuan change, and a cell phone he gave her.
It was placed in the small bag that Tu Yao had brought all the way from Xianhe Village.
Tu Chaoxi's hands trembled as he counted the items one by one.
Each piece shimmered with blue light, which slowly disappeared as he touched it.
"What...what are these things?"
Seeing the bizarre scene before her, Cheng Sangsang covered her mouth in shock.
What is it...?
What is it?
Now, Tu Chaoxi understands exactly what kind of being is hidden within Tu Yao.
He looked up and stared coldly at the sky.
"...You're being unfair at all."
He was met with a silent reply.
"You're being completely unfair!"
Tu Chaoxi stood up abruptly and shouted, "Did you hear that? You're being completely unfair!"
"Why are you putting all the blame on her! She's only eighteen! She's only eighteen!"
As if remembering something, he chuckled and said, "I almost forgot, you approached her when she was only five years old."
He took a deep breath to try and suppress the throbbing pain in his chest.
"You just take advantage of her soft heart and her naivety. If you treat her a little nicely, she'll eagerly come to protect you, right?"
"But on what grounds!"
Tu Chaoxi wiped her eyes fiercely: "Why!"
"Are you pleased with yourself for playing tricks on us like this?!"
"But I'd rather have died in the sea back then! I don't need my sister's protection!"
"Did you hear that?!"
The spacious hotel lobby was filled with Tu Chaoxi's questioning.
Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai stood there dumbfounded.
Even the slowest to react would realize it at this moment.
Their best friend seems to have... disappeared.
Until the people who disappeared in this building are safe.
Xu Bai suddenly looked down at a small wound on the back of his hand that had already scabbed over.
These days, every doctor is marveling at his incredible luck, having survived such a violent fire with only minor burns.
Cheng Sangsang scratched her messy head and stared blankly at the surroundings.
From Tu Chaoxi, who was on the verge of collapse, to Nan Ke, who was pale-faced, and finally to Lin Yue, who remained silent.
Then she looked at the clear reflection of her and Xu Bai on the wall tiles.
All of them were tormented and tricked by Bai Chumeng along the way, and repeatedly found themselves in danger.
Fortunately, they managed to escape danger time and time again.
Tu Xiaomao... Cheng Sangsang's chaotic thoughts seemed to have grasped the most important thread.
She slowly raised her head, and Xu Bai lowered his eyes at the same time.
In the exchange of glances, they both understood who had brought them this good fortune.
As darkness fell, no one left the hotel.
The moon hangs high in the sky over the port city.
Tu Chaoxi stared at the sky.
Two days after the full moon, a piece of it was already missing.
"...I haven't transferred her household registration yet."
Tu Chaoxi looked dazed and murmured, "I haven't transferred her household registration yet."
He suddenly remembered that he had come here to transfer Tu Yao's household registration.
Before he arrived, he was annoyed that Tu Yao had taken so long.
But even when he arrived, he didn't get the matter resolved.
What should I do?
What should they do if Tu Xiaomao isn't here?
Tu Chaoxi seemed to lose the ability to move forward in an instant.
"Here she is! Tu Chaoxi is here!"
Suddenly, a few broken Hong Kong-accented Mandarin voices rang out, and Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai turned around to look.
It was a gossip reporter who had rushed over after hearing the news, carrying a camera and running in with a clear objective.
The two men's expressions changed, and they quickly tried to stop them.
But it was too late.
Tu Chaoxi was caught off guard and was surrounded.
The surrounding noise was so loud that it gave him a throbbing headache.
"Get away!"
Seeing his attitude, the reporters were clearly even more excited, and they bombarded him with questions one after another.
During the shoving, Tu Chaoxi's already injured right hand lost its strength, and her backpack was suddenly thrown to the ground.
Booklets, pens, and banknotes were all scattered out!
Nan Ke and Lin Yue hurriedly went to pick it up.
Tu Chaoxi's face instantly turned ugly. Finally unable to hold back, she grabbed the reporter at the front and smashed the camera out of his hand!
The hotel lobby fell into dead silence for a second, then erupted into noise again.
"Hey! We're all filming, are you going to hit someone?!"
Tu Chaoxi seemed not to hear him, gripping his collar tightly, about to strike him!
Behind him, Nan Ke was about to pick up the exercise book.
A gust of wind blew by, and the booklet's pages turned one by one.
Nan Ke touched a certain page, and suddenly, his fingertip paused.
"……elder brother."
Nan Ke spoke slowly.
"She left a message."
Tu Chaoxi's hand, which was gripping the reporter's collar, froze.
Nan Ke slowly touched the words, recognizing them one by one.
Tears fell onto a corner of the blank page.
It was soaked with marks left by the force of the strokes.
Tu Chaoxi shoved the person aside, pushed through the crowd, and grabbed the booklet.
The markings are clear and easy to identify.
Tu Chaoxi's eyes were red, but then she suddenly laughed.
Even this cocky kid, Tu Xiaomao, needs some attention now.
I'm always worrying.
But now that I think about it, when have any of them, as her older brothers, ever given her a moment's peace of mind?
Tu Chaoxi took a deep breath, closed the booklet, turned around, and looked back at the reporters in the crowd.
The tall, burly man felt a little flustered by his gaze.
"What...what do you want to do! You smashed my camera first, do you really want to hit me?!"
He stumbled backward, slipped, and was about to fall when Tu Chaoxi caught him.
The reporter was taken aback.
The next second, he said softly:
"I acted impulsively."
Tu Chaoxi took out her wallet, and under the reporter's shocked gaze, took out all the cash and handed over a business card.
He calmly said, "I'll compensate you for your camera. If that's not enough, you can contact my studio."
The reporter was completely stunned.
Xu Bai realized what was happening and quickly asked everyone to leave.
The hotel returned to silence.
Tu Chaoxi glanced around expressionlessly, then looked precisely at the person opposite her.
The young man in the black trench coat stood tall and elegant, his face slightly pale. Although they were only a few meters apart, it was as if they were isolated in a closed world.
Tu Chaoxi took the booklet and walked straight over.
"Nan Ke has already guessed the general idea, but I still want to confirm it with you again."
"What exactly are the danger warnings on her?"
Xu Chi slowly turned his head, his lips dry. "It's a progress bar."
"There's only 10% left."
Tu Yao didn't dare to confess, but in the end he confessed everything one by one.
Tu Chaoxi stared intently at him, unable to resist scoffing, "...So you really do know everything."
"So the progress bar was still incomplete before she left."
Xu Chi acquiesced.
Tu Chaoxi could only breathe slowly to cope with the dull pain in her chest.
After a moment, he nodded. "I understand."
He knew what to do next.
Their lives, their future, their fortune—all of it was earned through Tu Yao's painstaking efforts.
Then they should guard and protect it well.
Tu Chaoxi looked up again. "She also left you a message."
Xu Chi wanted to speak, but suddenly found himself unable to utter a word.
Tu Chaoxi simply unfolded the page and handed it to him.
After seeing it clearly, Xu Chi was completely speechless.
In an instant, all the emotions that had been bottled up all day came crashing down on him, making him so flustered that he could barely stand.
Just two simple words.
There are only two words.
She didn't have time to leave him a single word.
Throughout their journey, Tu Xiaomao could always guess what she wanted to say or do with just a glance.
But at this moment, he was completely lost.
After Dangtu Xiaomao disappeared, he couldn't guess anything anymore.
Tu Chaoxi looked at him coldly.
Are you sad? Yes, you are.
"She's afraid to speak, but why don't you speak either?"
"Does your affection mean letting her put herself in a dangerous position?"
"You are capable, you are smart, you are considerate, but what is the result?"
Xu Chi silently raised his eyes.
He could tell from Tu Chaoxi's tone that she was clearly displaced in anger.
But it was this very question that stumped him.
