"You have always been just yourself, not my vassal. You don't live for me, nor for the eyes of others."
"Before you became Tang Li's child, you should have been Tang Keke, not anything else!"
Tang Li's voice still sounded gentle, but the emotion in her tone made Tang Keke feel palpitating.
She stared blankly at Tang Li, who looked weak but seemed able to stand upright. A figure gradually overlapped with her.
Although their heights, body shapes and even genders are completely different, their expressions are exactly the same.
She couldn't help but shout out: "...Old Tang?"
With Old Tang's words, Tang Li's originally strong momentum shrank instantly.
Her face suddenly changed, and she realized that she was too excited and forgot that Tang Keke didn't know she was Tang Li at all, and she subconsciously started to scold her from Tang Li's perspective.
"I'm sorry, I was just a little excited and said a lot of inappropriate words. I hope you don't take it to heart." She said, turned around and left the box.
She didn't know when it would be best to tell Tang Keke her true identity, but definitely not now.
Tang Keke did not stop Tang Li from leaving. She just leaned against the wall and stared at the chandelier in a trance.
"Old Tang, how long will your punishment of me continue..."
075. Maybe we are neighbors
Tang Li walked quickly on the road, the look Tang Keke gave her for the last time still flashing back in her mind.
It was the look of a cheetah looking at its prey, full of aggression. Even though her aura was much stronger than that of the decadent Tang Keke at the time, she couldn't help but feel a little scared under that look.
What kind of feelings did that girl have towards her that would make her look like that when she almost realized her true identity?
But in any case, her emotions were too awkward.
There are many children in the world who want to repay their parents' kindness, but few are as extreme as Coco.
Because in general education, family relationships are taken for granted. Parents raise their children and bring them up into adulthood. When children grow up, they support and respect their parents. This is a natural thing and does not require too many deliberate actions to express it.
But Tang Keke was different. She took the favor that she deserved too seriously, and ended up getting stuck in a dead end.
The most urgent task now is to understand why she has such thoughts.
Tang Li remembered that Tang Keke had the habit of writing lyrics since she was a child. She liked to write down everything she saw and thought into lyrics, under the pretext of laying the foundation for her future singing career. However, most of those lyrics came from her heart and were similar to diary essays.
If I could go back to their former home, maybe I could find those lyrics books in Coco's room.
When she thought of Tang Keke's self-pitying look, she felt a dull pain in her heart.
A person's three views are usually established from the little things during their growth. Perhaps it was the rumors and gossips faced in school and after becoming a star that shaped the child's current personality.
The tea restaurant where she was talking to Tang Keke was not far from where she used to live. It only took about ten minutes to walk there, and Tang Li soon arrived at the familiar neighborhood.
It was still the old elevator and the garbage was piled up randomly. Since moving to Youyou's house, Tang Li's standards had gradually improved. Now, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable returning to her original residence.
Maybe we should let Qianqian move in with Youyou as well.
Tang Li thought that this place was rather remote and old after all, without any cameras or anything like that, and even street lights were rare. She moved to Youyou's place again, and it was really dangerous to leave Qianqian alone here.
But now is not the time to think about those things, we should quickly figure out why Coco became like that.
Tang Li, with a lot of thoughts in her mind, was in a hurry to go upstairs and did not notice the young man who suddenly walked out from the corner. She was immediately startled.
Fortunately, they did not collide in the end. She adjusted the angle slightly and stood firm.
However, the young man who suddenly appeared seemed unable to stand firmly, and the things in his hands fell to the ground.
"Sorry!" Tang Li subconsciously apologized and squatted down to help the young man pack his things.
But after a while, she found that the young man in front of her didn't seem to move, so she looked up in confusion and found that the young man was staring at her.
Only then did Tang Li realize that the young man was inexplicably familiar. After thinking about it carefully, she suddenly realized what was going on.
Isn’t this the yellow-haired boy who walked out of the elevator when she was just reborn, and who whistled at her at that time?
"Excuse me, what's wrong?" she asked with some confusion.
Why is this kid's eyes wide open, as if he saw a treasure?
"No...it's okay."
The yellow-haired young man was awakened by Tang Li's voice. He looked in other directions in panic, but his eyes were looking back uncontrollably.
Wow... I didn't see it clearly at the time, but now I look down from above, it's so big, I wish I could touch it...
"Okay, I'm so sorry for almost bumping into you just now." Tang Li picked up the things scattered on the ground and handed them to the young man. Unexpectedly, the young man suddenly tilted his body when he took the things she handed over, and fell into her arms, his hands still waving in panic.
"Be careful--"
She subconsciously opened her hands to catch the young man who was about to fall.
Just as the young man was about to fall into Tang Li's arms, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind her and supported the young man's shoulder.
"Ah... Thank you, I'm so sorry, I didn't stand firmly and almost fell down." The yellow-haired young man's body was forcibly straightened, and an embarrassed look immediately appeared on his face. He scratched his head and apologized to Tang Li.
"It's okay, just be careful." Tang Li didn't think too much about it. After all, what happened just now happened so fast that she didn't have time to react.
For some reason, the yellow-haired young man seemed a little scared. He glanced tremblingly behind her and ran up the stairs. His agile posture did not look like someone who would almost fall twice in a row.
Tang Li turned around blankly and found Tang Keke standing behind her, staring at her with narrowed eyes.
"you……"
"I followed you." Tang Keke admitted decisively.
The corners of Tang Li's mouth twitched. She had never seen anyone so self-righteous.
The key point is that she didn't notice Tang Keke behind her at all along the way.
"You don't look like a normal woman at all." Tang Keke suddenly said again.
Tang Li couldn't help but be shocked. She knew it was the aftereffect of her previous slip of the tongue, so she quickly made amends: "Why don't I look like a woman anymore? You called me a busty girl for so long, but now you're turning your back on me?"
"A normal woman wouldn't be able to see that she was almost taken advantage of, or do you actually enjoy playing that way?"
"Being taken advantage of?" Tang Li was slightly stunned when she heard that, and instantly understood what Tang Keke wanted to say.
The yellow-haired young man was obviously not normal. He first stared at her chest and then tried to fall into her arms. However, she still had the concept of being a man, so she didn't notice it at the first time.
Once the other party takes advantage of you in this situation, you will have no way of explaining whether the other party really fell or pretended to take advantage of you. You can only accept the defeat.
If Tang Keke hadn't taken action, she might have been happy and thought she had done another good thing.
"Thanks……"
She said somewhat awkwardly.
It's really embarrassing to be saved by your own daughter.
"Instead of thanking me, why not invite me to your house?" Tang Keke looked around and suddenly said with a smile.
"I didn't expect that we are so destined to be together. My home is also here. Maybe we are neighbors."
What neighbors? We are a family, okay?
Tang Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and at the same time, she felt like crying but had no tears.
This time she was in trouble. How could she afford to buy another home?
Even if she said that she came to play with Tang Qianqian, Qianqian had just returned to school and there was no one at home. How would she explain it?
You can't really say that you are Tang Youyou's boyfriend and know that the key to the house is hidden under the flower pot, right?
————Text Division————
In fact, the teacher plays such a role, and his purpose is to raise the brothers’ blood pressure and help them understand more clearly what kind of environment Tang Keke grew up in.
She was Tang Keke's homeroom teacher after she transferred to another class. She was the homeroom teacher of a group of last-place students who would spread rumors to slander others when they couldn't beat them. She was not a good person.
If Xia Hua wanted her to be likable, she could just create a legitimate loli teacher.
By the way, that teacher was modeled after Xia Hua’s real teacher.
I always don't want to get involved in muddy waters, but I still have a conscience, so I seek comfort by condemning others.
076. What a punishment!
"Well, I just came to see if Qianqian is here. I'm her friend." Tang Li smiled awkwardly and quickly found an excuse to shirk responsibility.
"That's great. Why don't you come to my house and have a seat? I didn't have a very good attitude at the tea restaurant and said a lot of things that crossed the line. Please don't take it to heart." Tang Keke was still smiling and looked very gentle, without any of her previous nonchalant look.
Okay, you are starting to imitate me, right? If you have any conspiracy, just tell me directly!
Tang Li pursed her lips. She could no longer tell which personality Tang Keke was showing now. Almost every time they met, Tang Keke would show completely different personalities and emotions, as if she had many different souls, making her feel helpless to deal with it.
Which one is your true personality?
She looked a little melancholy, but she didn't show it.
"Then trouble you."
"No trouble." Tang Keke responded with a smile and walked upstairs leisurely.
Tang Li followed her footsteps and always felt that her momentum was suppressed. Qianqian always said that squinting eyes were the scariest, but she sneered - what was so scary about not being able to see the road clearly?
Now she understood. Tang Keke was smiling like that. She didn't know whether she could see the road clearly or not, but she couldn't tell Tang Keke's emotions anyway.
The threat posed by the unknown made her feel very insecure.
Could it be that this girl already knows that I am Tang Li?
Impossible? Normal people would not infer that a stranger is an acquaintance based on a few familiar-sounding words, let alone she had directly changed her gender.
Although Tang Keke had not been home for many years, Tang Li had kept the keys in the same place so that the children would not be unable to find the keys to open the door when they returned home. She easily took out the keys to the house from under the flowerpot at the door.
She stared at the key for a long time before looking at Tang Li with a complicated expression and said softly, "The man just now was not a good person. It's dangerous to put the key so conspicuously. Change the position next time, or just give everyone a key."
"Yeah..." Tang Li nodded subconsciously, then froze in place, even her voice became stiff: "I think you're right, let's talk to Qianqian when she comes back."
"That's right." Tang Keke still smiled.
The two of them sat on the sofa in the living room.
Tang Keke was brewing tea leisurely, and Tang Li came here this time just to find Tang Keke's lyrics book. But now the owner of the lyrics book was right in front of her, so of course she didn't dare to act rashly.
So the two of them just sat on the sofa, not saying a word, drinking tea in a disjointed manner.
Suddenly, Tang Keke seemed to remember something and walked into her room. Before Tang Li could stick her head out to see what her daughter was going to do, she came out with a few notebooks.
"This is my lyrics book. I wrote it when I was in high school. I didn't expect I hadn't thrown it away yet. I suddenly felt nostalgic when I saw it." Tang Keke smiled and handed over a notebook with a heart drawn on it: "Would you like to take a look?"
My dear... shouldn't this be considered a dark history? Why are you passing it to me like you're sharing a treasure?
If I look at this openly, wouldn't it seem like I'm trying to peek at me, which is embarrassing?
"Then I'll enjoy the work of the great star Tang." She took the lyrics book as if she had found a treasure and opened one of the pages.
Then she lived in Bengbu.
Why are these all songs about love?
It's fine to write about love, but is it necessary to write about it so passionately? It's as if the love between the hero and heroine in the lyrics can overcome all obstacles, and the hardships expressed in the lyrics are mostly quite empty, as if they are fighting against the entire secular ethics.
It's just love, there's no need to be so heroic, right? Nowadays, homosexuality is quite tolerant——
Tang Li suddenly thought of the deceased lover that Tang Keke had told him about before, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
No way? Could it be that Keke and the other person have been together since high school?
Even minors are not spared?
Brother Xing, I have never seen anyone as resistant to handcuffs as you. It’s a good thing you died, otherwise I would have let you see the iron fist of my father who can be imprisoned but not jailed!
Tang Li became more and more annoyed the more she read. Tang Keke's lyrics were full of longing and anxiety for that man. It was obvious that the girl was deeply trapped in the other person's gentle trap.
She slammed the notebook shut—no more reading!
"Songs about love always change the theme but not the substance. I'd like to see something a little different."
"Unusual? Of course there are. I wonder what kind you like to see?" Tang Keke said with a smile.
"Well, campus life... or inner analysis or something like that, maybe it would be more interesting." Tang Li's true intention was revealed.
