Chapter 35 Is this what family is like?
[Ten years!]
Not surprisingly, the atmosphere between them is just like mine with my best friend; we can argue but still eat together.
Before Tu Chaoxi debuted, he worked as a food vendor and handed out flyers, so the two of them were friends from that period, true friends through thick and thin!
[Since they were best friends for ten years, doesn't Tu Chaoxi's betrayal make her even more despicable?!]
The topic finally returned to the initial scandals, and the haters immediately came back to life, with the live chat filled with negative keywords.
The progress bar on Tu Yao's forehead was flashing, and it successfully dropped by 5 points, becoming 30.
Tu Yao was silent for a moment, then uttered a sentence:
"Because we've known each other for ten years, even though my brother broke the agreement and prevented you from signing the contract, you weren't very angry?"
Between Mingzhou and Yan Yang, it's clear that Yan Yang is more likely to tell the truth.
He shook his head, then nodded: "I'm angry, but I also feel like he has a reason."
Tu Yao said thoughtfully, "So, more than being angry that he didn't tell you the reason, I'm actually more upset that he didn't tell you the reason."
The live chat paused for a moment.
【？】
A hint of surprise flashed in Yan Yang's eyes, and then he suddenly smiled.
Then his smile faded: "Yes, you're right."
“Mingzhou and I both know that he wouldn’t do that on purpose. Ultimately, we’re both angry that he couldn’t tell us the reason.”
In fact, they all knew that it must have been a somewhat heavy reason that they had to persuade him to do it out of desperation.
Tu Yao nodded. "I understand."
Yan Yang: "You understand?"
This girl understands things that even Tu Chaoxi doesn't?
Tu Yao shrugged: "I have friends too, you know."
"Just like when I first came to Crane Village two years ago, I had no money and had to go to the market to sell sweet cakes every day. Because the road was too far, I couldn't get back on time to play with Big Fatty."
"I thought since we can't play together, then we shouldn't play, but Big Fatty is very angry."
“He said he wasn’t angry because I couldn’t play with him, but because I didn’t tell him I was going to sell sweet cakes.”
“He said we are good friends, and it doesn’t matter whether we play together or not, but good friends need to know that I walk a long way every day to sell sweet cakes.”
"That way, when I get home and my legs hurt, he can bring me some ointment."
After he finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The guitar playing, the reverb, all the sounds suddenly stopped.
Tu Yao looked up and saw that Tu Chaoxi and Mingzhou opposite her had both stopped what they were doing and were staring at her in silence and a daze.
Tu Yao added, "It's a principle that even children understand."
Tu Chaoxi: ...
Mingzhou paused for a moment, then smacked the strings again and sneered, "Yes, it's a principle that even children understand, but some idiots just can't get it."
The tune he played was the one Tu Chaoxi had revised. Tu Chaoxi was still in a daze when his hand immediately and naturally followed the next section.
And so, the guitar, the beat, all the music continued to play!
The revised arrangement is more intense and smoother than the original.
The voting link popped up again.
After realizing what was happening, netizens instinctively clicked to vote.
When the song ended, the room fell silent again.
Tu Chaoxi didn't move. Mingzhou glanced at the feedback and, unsurprisingly, Tu Chaoxi won.
Mingzhou was surprisingly calm.
"You win."
Tu Chaoxi remained silent for a long time. Mingzhou and Yan Yang's eyes flashed with disappointment, and they turned to leave.
Upon seeing this, the audience immediately became anxious!
【! Tu Chaoxi, what are you standing there for?!】
[I'm going to die! Even I can see that look in their eyes is waiting for an explanation from you, what are you standing there for!]
[This damn friendship is killing me! Even though you betrayed our promise, we'll still stand up for you when you're being attacked online. Even though I'm stubborn and sarcastic when we meet, all I really want is an explanation from you.]
[Tu Chaoxi felt inexplicably sad too. I just looked into his music account. I only follow one account, and their new song was released less than two months ago. He criticizes it, but he's listened to it over a hundred times behind my back.]
Both sides are stubborn and hypocritical, wasting two whole years. It's heartbreaking.
[This arrangement is amazing! You guys need to make up quickly and release a new song for me right away, you hear me!]
Within seconds, the barrage of negative comments completely overshadowed the previously flooded negative ones.
Haters and online trolls tried to retweet again, but they couldn't outmaneuver them.
The barrage of comments kept scrolling, and tens of thousands of netizens were on tenterhooks.
Just as Mingzhou Yanyang stepped out of the door, a slightly dry voice came from the screen.
"Hello!"
The two stopped.
Tu Chaoxi put down her guitar, rubbed her face, glanced at Tu Yao with a seemingly casual look, and then lowered her head in resignation.
"...Let's talk."
Fireworks went off in the live stream room right then and there!
[Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!! Let's talk, let's talk!!!]
After Tu Chaoxi finished speaking, she walked towards the cubicle.
After taking only a few steps, he said, "Tu Xiaomao, you come too."
【What? Where are you going? Can't we even listen anymore?】
[Can my sister listen but we can't? Are we being treated like outsiders?]
This is clearly treating us like outsiders!
[...So why did you bring your sister along? ? ? ]
Tu Yao sighed, said "Oh," and obediently followed.
...
In the cubicle, Tu Chaoxi gave a brief explanation.
“That’s how it was. Our biological mother passed away at that time, leaving my sister alone in the Cheng family. I wanted to earn money as soon as possible to take my sister away and find my two younger brothers. At that time, Cheng Meiling promised that as long as I signed the contract, she would give me an advance of money.”
"But that trip to the port city didn't go smoothly because..."
Tu Chaoxi glanced subconsciously at the girl sitting with her head down beside her, and took a deep breath: "For some reason, I was unable to pick her up."
"Upon returning, I discovered that the contract I had signed was problematic..."
He broke his promise to his friends, postponed his dreams, signed a contract to sell himself into servitude, and in the end, he couldn't even take Tu Yao with him.
After a series of setbacks, he no longer had the courage to face the friends he owed so much.
It's been delayed again and again, until now.
Mingzhou was so angry that he was trembling.
"Why can't I say it? Why can't I say it! What do you take us for! We've known each other for ten years, and we've been through the toughest times together. What makes you think we can't be there for you next time?!"
Yan Yang's eyes were also red. Compared to Ming Zhou's excitement, he immediately and calmly pointed out the hurdle that Tu Chaoxi couldn't get over.
"How is your sister now? Is she still at the Cheng family's house?"
Tu Chaoxi was taken aback, and glanced over there seemingly casually.
Noticing the gaze above her, Tu Yao lowered her head slightly and subconsciously held her breath.
Tu Chaoxi chuckled and said only, "...She's gone. She...is moving in a positive direction."
Yan Yang: ?
He followed the gaze and his eyelid twitched.
Little fan?
Tu Yao obediently played the role of listener, trying her best to appear calm.
Tu Chaoxi put it simply, but only she knew how painful it was for her to be pushed into the sea by her own sister and mocked as a lowly actress.
...Sometimes she would envy Tu Yao.
Those who betray sincerity will suffer the consequences of swallowing a thousand needles.
Two years later, Tu Chaoxi, who was let down by Tu Yao, still chose to tolerate Tu Xiaomao.
Uncle, is this what family is like?
110 paused for a few seconds: ...That's how it is.
Tu Yao rested her chin on her hand and said softly, "...I'm a little envious."
110: ...Don't be envious, your family member likes you very much.
Tu Yao's eyes lit up: Really! Will they like me a lot?!
The light points gathered slightly, invisibly enveloping Tu Yao's excited and expectant expression.
110: ...Of course.
Tu Yao was happy.
Tu Chaoxi walked over and poked her head.
"What are you thinking about, Tu Xiaomao? The story is over."
Tu Yao rubbed her eyes and grinned:
"I want to get fat."
Tu Chaoxi felt as if her heart had been pricked by a needle, and sighed almost inaudibly: "...Will Da Pang's ointment work?"
Does your foot still hurt?
Tu Yao smiled even more happily.
"It works! It doesn't hurt!"
Tu Chaoxi scoffed: "Idiot."
Yan Yang: ...
Yan Yang rubbed his temples.
...He seems to have discovered a secret.
