Chapter 361: Back to the Starting Point
Tao Zhi frowned slightly, his eyes seemed to show helplessness towards Xu Yanze.
"Lao Xu, I know you can't help yourself if you really get to the point where you're hurting yourself, but can we have a discussion?"
"Look, you hurt yourself this time and then you come to me for help. Can we do it next time? I mean, if we really have to, there will be a next time."
"Can you contact me for help before you hurt yourself? Don't make me worry about it after you've hurt yourself. I'm old and I really can't stand your stimulation." Tao Zhixin said tiredly.
Xu Yanze and Tao Zhi looked at each other with worried eyes, with soft glimmers in their eyes.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Xu Yanze replied.
The door was opened, and A Long and A Hu came in, followed by Xiao An An with a serious expression and frowned eyebrows.
"I asked the housekeeper to bring some porridge, but he hasn't come yet. Ah Long and Ah Hu just happened to be here. I went out to see if the housekeeper had come."
Tao Zhi was about to walk out with an unnatural look on his face, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed by a slightly cold hand. Tao Zhi stood there in a daze.
It turned out that I was too greedy and was unwilling to give up like this. Xu Yanze thought.
"Tao Zhi, can I..." Xu Yanze summoned up all his courage and spoke.
"Can't!"
Before Xu Yanze could finish his words, Tao Zhi interrupted him with an anxious voice. The voice echoed in the empty ward. Everyone present was extremely quiet. The scene could be described as dead silent.
Tao Zhi took a deep breath, trying to hide the complicated emotions in his expression.
After almost adjusting it, he turned around, gently pulled off Xu Yanze's hand, which had already recovered blood, and gently placed it on the bed.
"The doctor said that you can only eat light food now and nothing else." Tao Zhi said as gently as possible.
Xu Yanze opened his lips slightly, and the color on his face faded away like the tide in the blink of an eye. His heartbeat seemed to stop suddenly, and he forgot to breathe for a moment.
He just looked at Tao Zhi in front of him quietly, the hurt in his eyes was obvious, and Tao Zhi saw it clearly. For a long time, he was unable to speak to express the thousands of words in his heart.
Xu Yanze clearly realized that Tao Zhi was giving him a way out and that he was trying to maintain a balance in his relationship with his friend.
Xu Yanze's eyes turned red and wet uncontrollably, but he still tried to remain calm and not lose his composure.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you and just eat porridge." Xu Yanze said bitterly.
After Tao Zhi left the ward, he felt as if all the strength in his body was suddenly drained away. He staggered to the hospital corridor, held onto the cold stone pillar and sat on a wooden chair.
Although Tao Zhi didn't know what the man named Lang Buping said to Xu Yanze, Tao Zhi could clearly see the emotions in Xu Yanze's eyes.
Xu Yanze still likes himself. To be more precise, he is still nostalgic for Tao Zhi in the original book, the character who only existed on a piece of paper from beginning to end.
Tao Zhi had vaguely guessed about this matter a long time ago.
At first, she thought it was just her narcissism coming back, but no matter how hard Xu Yanze tried to disguise it, his love would still be revealed when she wasn't paying attention.
Tao Zhi is not blind, nor is he a fool.
Although Tao Zhi was slow in the past, after Gong Cheng expressed his feelings that year, Tao Zhi saw the naked and overflowing love in Gong Cheng's eyes, and thus became more sensitive to capturing his expression.
Even though Xu Yanze's eyes were obscure and restrained, Tao Zhi could still vaguely perceive it and interpreted it as love.
The real confirmation of Xu Yanze's feelings was when Ding Jie's child was kidnapped. At that time, the child named An An told Tao Zhi that Xu Yanze had many photos of himself in his electronic devices.
Tao Zhi recalled the setting in the original text about Xu Yanze, the affectionate second male lead, who silently protected the protagonist, and felt bitter for a moment.
At the time, I was so naive and ridiculous that I thought I had at least changed Xu Yanze's ending.
I thought he would no longer have to be trapped in that whirlpool of emotions that would never get any response like in the original text.
I thought that by taking him to make friends and playing with him, I could pull him out of the dark corner of loneliness.
In the end, after going around in circles, he ended up back at the starting point, and the path before him could not be changed after all.
The only difference is that the person in trouble changed from Gong Cheng to himself.
Ever since he confirmed Xu Yanze's feelings, Tao Zhi has tried hard to maintain his original attitude and way of getting along with him, doing his best to pull him onto the path of a good friend, thinking that as long as he plays dumb and turns a blind eye, he can slowly make him give up.
It was not until he was in the ward just now that Tao Zhi realized how wrong he was.
But even so, there was nothing I could do and I could only continue to play dumb and let the situation continue to develop.
After all, my own feelings are also a mess now, I can only rub it in a corner and ignore it.
When he is in trouble himself, he really doesn't have the energy to spare. While saving the world, he also has to go through the plot of redeeming supporting characters.
Tao Zhihuan was almost done, so he calmly opened his phone and sent a message to Lang Bushin. Then Lang Bushin pushed his brother's WeChat message to him.
Tao Zhi clicked on it with a gloomy face and submitted a friend request. The other party accepted it almost instantly and sent him a flattered emoticon.
Tao Zhi just thought about it carefully and remembered that he had actually had contact with Lang Buping before.
At that time, Tao Zhi had just entered this novel. There was a person named Lang Buping on WeChat who kept sending him messy videos and photos. The content was varied, becoming more and more perverted and bizarre, and he kept asking him how he felt.
Tao Zhi just thought he was a pervert who was harassing him, so he blocked him and deleted him. He didn't expect that he could come back and stab him in the back.
Tao Zhi called the number directly and the other party answered immediately. Before Tao Zhi could even open his mouth, Lang Buping started talking a lot.
"Oh, I knew you were going to contact me to thank me."
"Well, brother, I am loyal this time, right? Although you have long forgotten me and left me in the cold palace, I am still thinking of helping you with your lifelong event while I am abroad."
"If it weren't for me, your relationship with Xu Daxueba probably wouldn't have worked out. Oh my god, you don't even know how complicated your relationship is. I'm really stumped by this."
"No, you must have known it now, otherwise you wouldn't have called me to thank me. You should just be happy that the college bully Xu confessed to you, little brat."
"Let me tell you, I spent a lot of money to speak well of you. I created your image as a lovelorn person."
"The guy's eyes were filled with tears after being fooled by the great master Xu. He was so moved." Lang Buping said proudly.
"What did you say to him?" Tao Zhi frowned.
"It's about the time when you liked him." Lang Buping said.
"Me what?"
Tao Zhi screamed out uncontrollably in a sharp high-pitched voice, which attracted the attention of passers-by.
