Chapter 297 Tu Xiaomao: Soybean Support
"I……"
Without realizing it, Tu Yao blurted out everything she had been holding back all the way.
By the time I realized what had happened, the atmosphere had become noticeably tense.
Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai exchanged a glance, neither daring to utter a sound.
The van stopped at the traditional Chinese medicine clinic, and the group got out without saying a word.
Tu Chaoxi stared at her and asked again, "What are you thinking about?"
Tu Yao didn't say anything.
The dark street remained silent for a few seconds.
Lin Yue and Nan Ke got out of the car and saw four people standing motionless like statues in front of the TCM clinic.
Nan Ke's gaze shifted from Tu Yao's conflicted expression to her slightly clenched hand, and he frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Tu Yao subconsciously looked up.
All eyes turned to her, and every gaze was filled with undisguised worry.
In just a moment, Tu Yao seemed to deflate.
She shook her head and said softly, "...I wasn't thinking anything, I won't say anything more."
"I'm going to work."
"……goodbye."
Tu Yao quickened her pace and went into the traditional Chinese medicine shop.
Tu Chaoxi frowned, staring at the girl's stubborn back.
"You brat, you're so stubborn."
"I don't know what she's so stubborn about..."
Tu Chaoxi's eyelids twitched: "No, something's not right. I have to find her and ask her about it!"
He immediately set off to chase after them.
"elder brother."
Nan Ke suddenly raised his hand to stop him, staring thoughtfully at the girl's back.
"I'll go."
...
In the courtyard, Tu Yao sat alone in a pile of herbs, motionless.
Seeing Nan Ke following him, he immediately felt guilty.
"...Was my attitude bad just now?"
Tu Chaoxi was helping her solve her problem, so even if she didn't show her happiness, she should still thank him properly.
And then there's Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai, who dropped everything from their jobs just to stay here and meet her.
Up until now, she has always been the one receiving kindness from everyone.
In any case, she shouldn't have been in that kind of attitude just now—dejected and acting like a stubborn idiot.
Tu Yao lowered her head and said sullenly, "...I'm sorry."
Nan Ke looked at her quietly and sighed softly.
This was his first time visiting Tu Yao's workplace.
In the large courtyard, tender green herbs grew everywhere, and Tu Yao squatted alone in the middle.
Even though he has grown taller and bigger, he still appears small in his eyes.
In an instant, Nan Ke felt as if he had returned to Crane Village from back then.
The only difference is that he was the one who isolated himself back then, but now it's his sister.
"...Because you couldn't choose us in the end, you're afraid to accept us, okay?"
A gentle voice fell, neither too loud nor too soft.
Tu Yao's head buzzed. She looked at him, her legs went weak, and she sat down on the ground with a thud.
Wh...what?
Nan Ke also squatted down, his gaze calm, and continued to ask:
"Because you can't give us the results we want, you're afraid of us being good to you, afraid of causing us trouble, right?"
Tu Yao stared blankly at the herbs, then suddenly stood up.
"...You found out?"
Knowing that sooner or later, the merged world might separate again.
But she was destined not to choose them.
Nan Ke smiled faintly and stood up with her.
"Yes, I understand."
Tu Yao opened her mouth, but her tone couldn't help but become stiff again.
"Now that you know, why are you still being so nice to me?"
Tu Yao only just realized that the care she had experienced today seemed to be without reason or condition.
She repeatedly confirmed that Tu Chaoxi truly didn't care about being scolded; he didn't care at all about all the trouble that came with helping her.
Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai genuinely wanted to stay by her side; they were completely devoted to her.
"But that's not fair to you."
Nan Ke's eyes were deep and she said gently, "Then tell me, why should family members care about fairness?"
"Why don't you hold it against me? This is trouble I caused, trouble for my friends, not your responsibility. Why should you be scolded and ridiculed?"
"If you don't hold grudges with family members, what about friends? Would friends really drop everything to protect me?"
"The nicer you are to me now, the more painful it will be for you later."
The girl, her eyes slightly red, emphasized, "Because I... I definitely can't stay in your world, I can't stay ten meters away from you."
“I can complete the transfer of ownership once I've saved enough money. The welfare home is about to be demolished.”
"I still have a lot of things to do. As you can see, I've cultivated a lot of herbs. I'm very busy!"
She was clearly emphasizing something, but her eyes started to dart away, and she didn't dare to look at him, turning her back to him.
Under the light, the girl stood slender but upright, stubborn and uneasy.
Nan Ke was speechless.
His sister is kind, intelligent, and brave, but her heart is harder to open than that of Tu Chaoxi and Lin Yue in the past.
In the past, even if they harbored deep hatred in their hearts, they would still instinctively pursue the energy released by Tu Yao.
Tu Yao, however, instinctively tried to avoid it.
Tu Yao sniffed and started to shoo them away: "You should go back now, I have to go to work."
He paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "...Let's get rid of that video as soon as possible."
"He doesn't care at all. So what if he's a top star? Is it fun to be criticized and laughed at?"
"Also, let Sangsang and Xiaobai go back quickly."
Nan Ke looked at Tu Yao, and after a while, said, "Would it make you happier if you could help?"
"……What?"
Tu Yao hesitated and turned around.
"If we don't give unconditionally, but you can do something for us, wouldn't that make things a little easier?"
Tu Yao didn't say anything.
Nan Ke took out his phone, tapped a few times, scrolled to a page, and handed it over.
She said softly, "This used to be your account."
……account?
Tu Yao's fingertips trembled slightly as she reached out and took the phone.
It's an account with over a million followers.
I posted no more than ten updates in total, and every single one of them was a repost.
Tu Yao paused for a moment, then subconsciously swiped the screen, reading through the messages one by one.
Lines of unfamiliar words, one unfamiliar expression after another, instantly filled the blank memory.
"This is……"
Before she could ask, Nan Ke said, "If you forward the post your older brother made, no one will criticize him anymore."
"...Forwarding the post?"
Tu Yao asked blankly, "...Is this all you need to do?"
Nan Ke looked at her, his eyes gentle: "Give it a try."
Tu Yao lowered her head, her mind a jumble, and her fingers moved unconsciously as she pressed forward.
The moment the "OK" button appeared, Tu Yao hesitated for a moment and then canceled.
She checked every repost on the homepage again, then opened it again and tried adding an emoji.
Tu Yao clenched her fists slightly and realized that she was sweating profusely.
Returning to the homepage, a brand new update appeared on the screen.
Tu Xiaomao: [Soybean Support.jpg] Forwarded //@Tu Chaoxi: Announcement
"……Then what?"
Nan Ke looked at the familiar expression and couldn't help but chuckle, signaling her to refresh.
Tu Yao looked at the empty comment section and did as instructed.
"continue."
Tu Yao refreshed the page again, and her whole body froze.
In just two seconds, the number of comments in the comment section skyrocketed.
