Putting down the phone, Tang Li looked at Tang Keke's face again.

The unconscious Tang Keke was as beautiful as Sleeping Beauty on the phone, quiet and gentle, looking completely different from her usual aggressive appearance, like a girl who had just left the boudoir.

But the crazy eyes and the smile without any warmth in the lounge just now are still vivid in my mind.

Although he was begging for her forgiveness, he did not hold out any hope, as if no matter what the outcome would not change her choice.

The moment she saw the madness in Tang Keke's eyes, Tang Li realized that her answer might affect their lives.

The sudden pressure came upon her heart, but she could not hesitate to respond.

Should I answer with forgiveness or no forgiveness?

She chose not to answer. Now that things had come to this, what was the point of forgiving or not forgiving?

Tang Keke is her child, and this is a fact that will never change.

Therefore, she had to tear off the mask on Tang Keke's face and reveal the Tang Keke who was most familiar to her and the real one hidden under the heavy disguise. Only in this way could she completely enter Tang Keke's heart.

Although she fainted suddenly, Tang Keke was not seriously injured and woke up quickly thanks to her relatively healthy body due to her regular exercise.

The first thing she saw when she woke up was Tang Li sitting beside her bed, peeling an apple.

Although the hands used to peel apples are no longer the rough hands of a man due to years of labor, but have become a pair of slender, soft and boneless hands, the habit of using the little finger to support the apple and the knife has not changed.

Perhaps Tang Li didn't know that she had already had some guesses long before she was sure that she was Tang Li. After all, even if a person's gender or even body has changed, habits cannot be easily erased.

She was aware of Tang Li's various little habits in life. The first time she saw Tang Li, she felt a strong sense of familiarity. This familiarity made her obsessed, so she kept getting closer to Tang Li, but because of fear and grudges, she couldn't help but want to stay away from her.

This ultimately led to several of their meetings ending in unpleasantness.

Now that Tang Li's identity has been confirmed, she clearly realizes that the other party has not changed at all and is still the person she is very familiar with.

Perhaps because her movements were too large, Tang Li, who had been concentrating on shaping the apple, raised her head and looked into her eyes.

"Hmm? Coco, you're awake. I peeled an apple for you."

Tang Li said with a smile, carefully picking up a piece of apple with her thumb and index finger and handing it to Tang Keke.

Tang Keke took a glance and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Why did you carve it into the shape of a rabbit? Aren't you tired?"

"I am a little tired, but it doesn't matter. When you were injured and hospitalized as a child, I peeled an apple for you but you refused to eat it. In the end, I peeled the apple into the shape of a rabbit before you ate it." Tang Li curled her lips and fed a piece of fruit into Tang Keke's mouth.

"You still remember..." Tang Keke was chewing the sour and sweet apple, and suddenly she felt a little sour in her nose.

"Of course I remember. That's why every time I peeled an apple for you in the hospital, I would peel the flesh into the shape of a rabbit."

Just as Tang Li was speaking, Tang Keke keenly noticed that there was a Band-Aid on Tang Li's finger, and she couldn't help but frowned.

"what happened to your hand?"

"Eh?"

Tang Li was slightly startled, realizing that she had been exposed, so she smiled awkwardly: "You haven't been back since college, and I haven't had the chance to peel apples, so my skills have become a lot less sophisticated."

Tang Keke fell silent as she looked at the band-aid that really ruined the beauty of Tang Li's fingers.

Perhaps because she felt the atmosphere was a little too depressing, Tang Li continued, "The doctor said that you were overly tired, drank too much, and had too many emotional fluctuations, which caused you to faint due to stress. It's not serious, but you need to pay attention to rest and not drink so much."

"I told you a long time ago that you shouldn't drink too much alcohol. It's harmful to your health, but you just didn't listen."

"As for work, I noticed that you always like to take on a lot of schedules, even when you don't have time to rest. Isn't the lesson of my death from overwork enough? You want me to send you off, don't you?"

"You really piss me off. You've never let me feel at ease since I was a child!"

"I just woke up, you're so annoying." Tang Keke pouted and turned her head away immediately.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, did you hear me? Please stop being annoying! I just said a few words to you and you said I was annoying. I just want you to take care of yourself and don't follow in my footsteps!"

"I know, I know, I know. You've become a woman, why are you still so nagging?" Tang Keke shook her head to indicate that she didn't want to listen.

"Anyway, you must take a good rest during this period of time. Solve things that can be solved as quickly as possible. Let the agent handle the contract dispute. Do you hear me?"

"I see. Really, it's not reassuring at all."

Tang Li: ???

Have you learned how to answer questions quickly?

Who is it that makes people worry? !

"Also, I found a psychologist." Tang Li said suddenly, and she looked at Tang Keke with some trepidation.

"You are my child, so I think it is necessary for me to understand your psychological condition, but I won't force you. If you don't like it, forget it."

Why be so cautious?

Obviously, everything I have was given by you. If you want me to die, I would be willing to do it.

But you always take care of my mood and my feelings.

But the more you do this, the more I can't get rid of your influence.

I can no longer suppress my emotions...

Tang Keke looked at Tang Li deeply, skillfully hiding her emotions, and said indifferently: "It's okay, just let him come. I haven't done a psychological examination for a long time, it just happens."

Seeing that Tang Keke had no objection, Tang Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Generally speaking, asking someone to see a psychologist implies that the person is sick, so many people would be unhappy when they first heard it.

She was originally worried that Tang Keke would refuse, but she didn't expect her to be so reasonable and able to find a way out for herself. She really is worthy of being her daughter!

In order to make the diagnosis more accurate, Tang Li took the initiative to leave the ward after the psychologist arrived.

Tang Youyou was very efficient. The psychologist she found was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses and a plain long dress. She had a very quiet temperament, which made people feel good about her at first sight.

Her name is Shen Tinglian. She is a very famous doctor in Jinling. She is good at psychological counseling and treatment for celebrities. Almost half of the celebrities in Jinling have been treated by her. Even celebrities from other places will come here just to listen to her advice. This shows how superb her medical skills are.

However, the process of waiting for the diagnosis was a bit torturous for Tang Li. She was worried that Tang Keke’s psychological problems would be so serious that she would not be able to cope with it, and by then their relationship, which had finally improved a little, would take a sharp turn for the worse again.

After a long time, the psychologist finally walked out of the ward.

"Doctor Shen! How is Coco?" Tang Li hurriedly went up to him and asked nervously.

Shen Tinglian raised his hand and pushed up his glasses, feeling a little curious about the girl in front of him who looked about the same age as the patient.

Although he was obviously a young child, his every move gave off the aura of an old man. This was the first time she had seen such a situation in her long career as a psychologist.

The combination of two completely different temperaments in the same person unexpectedly creates an inexplicable sense of harmony, which is even more attractive than appearing separately.

And she could see that this girl really cared about the girl in the ward, but it was not the care between peers, but more like an elder caring for a younger one.

"you are?"

"Ah, my name is Tang Li, and I'm Tang Keke... the girl in the ward... her cousin." Tang Li said, "I'm also her guardian."

"Okay, Miss Tang." Shen Tinglian nodded. She did not continue to explore the contrast shown by Tang Li, but turned her head to focus on her work.

"First of all, I want to say that the child's mental state is not very good. You should be mentally prepared in advance."

Tang Li bit her lower lip and nodded helplessly.

She knew that the subtext that Shen Tinglian specifically raised was that Tang Keke's psychological problems had become quite serious.

But no matter how serious it is, she must understand.

"She has a tendency to be more depressed and anxious, which is normal. In fact, most celebrities have some problems, and they are even used to depression and anxiety. It's just that Tang Keke's problem is more serious, and she needs medication and professional assistance for treatment."

Tang Li nodded silently. She remembered that when she met Tang Keke before, that girl was indeed very easily depressed and then suddenly became very irritable, so that every conversation between them would end in a bad mood.

"Then...she has a rather obvious tendency towards split personality. When you were with her, did you find that her moods were very changeable and she would often show a completely different personality for no apparent reason?"

"right……"

Tang Li nodded, and suddenly understood why she always felt that Tang Keke was a stranger even though they were the same person.

Coco had clearly shown it very obviously when they first agreed to meet, but she didn't think in that direction at all.

She recalled the scene when Tang Keke had just rejected her invitation to talk alone, but then turned around and added her as a friend and sent her an apology message and the agreed location.

At that time, all she wanted to do was to see Tang Keke as soon as possible. Although she felt that her behavior was a little different from that of two different people, she did not want to investigate further.

Perhaps her concern for her daughters was still too superficial.

"Her current situation is not serious. She just occasionally shows contradictory personalities, usually for the purpose of attracting someone's attention. This is one of the characteristics of a histrionic personality. But if she is not guided, it may lead to more serious problems. I will provide a detailed guidance plan later."

"Finally, and most importantly—" Shen Tinglian paused for a moment, and waited until Tang Li had drawn all her attention to her before she said seriously, "That child has a very serious inferiority complex."

Upon hearing this, Tang Li widened her eyes in shock, her heart filled with disbelief.

"Inferiority complex? That's impossible. But she's a star—"

Tang Li's rebuttal suddenly paused, and she suddenly remembered many things.

For example, Tang Keke’s appointments were often made at very high-end restaurants; when she was studying art, she was in contrast with her classmates and almost gave up her ideal; when she performed, she always liked to fight for the spotlight; when she was in high school, she faced rumors and slander without any bottom line; she was always worried that he would lose the value of staying by her side; for example... she repeatedly mentioned that she didn’t dare to come back and that she didn’t deserve to come back...

She suddenly realized that Tang Keke's outwardly high spirits and radiant appearance were just a shell that concealed her inner self.

The real her has always been an inferior little girl.

"To be honest, I was also very surprised when I realized that she had a serious inferiority complex. After all, even though I have received countless celebrities, it is quite rare to find someone with a mental problem as serious as Tang Keke's. In addition, psychological problems like inferiority complex do not occur among celebrities."

"So I guess her problems come from her family."

Shen Tinglian looked a little serious. As a psychologist, she was well aware of how complicated patients with family problems were. They were often shackled by family relationships and wanted to break free but were powerless. They could only endure silently and finally fell into a vicious cycle from which there was no escape.

So she added: "I don't know the specific relationship between you and the child, nor do I know the specific situation of her family, so I dare not comment on it."

"But inferiority complex is often the trigger for self-abuse. If possible, I hope you can pay more attention to the child's psychological condition."

"I will never let her face it alone again. I will protect her!" Tang Li answered firmly.

Shen Tinglian could not help but be stunned for a moment, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and then she said: "That child has a bit of an awkward personality, and she may not express emotions like thank you to you, but I believe she will definitely remember your kindness to her."

"I thank you on behalf of the child. Thank you for protecting her."

Shen Tinglian finally left. Before leaving, she handed a thick stack of information to Tang Li, which was all about the diagnosis and treatment plan of Tang Keke's psychological problems.

Tang Li took a few glances and felt dizzy. She knew every word, but she couldn't understand them when they were put together.

Even so, she still studied hard, hoping that she could become the umbrella that protected Tang Keke.

Because the physical problem was not too serious, Tang Keke would be discharged from the hospital in the evening.

She brought Tang Li to the house she had rented in order to stay in Jinling permanently. It was a villa located on the edge of Xuanwu Lake. It was not large but was very luxuriously decorated.

This is the place Tang Keke specially selected to stay. She just completed the formalities two days ago. She didn’t expect that the first time she stayed there would be with Tang Li.

This made her a little excited.

Both of them were tired after the whole day, especially Tang Keke, who first drank until she was drunk in the company's lounge, then cried for a while, and then went to the hospital. It can be said that she had been through a lot from beginning to end. Now she is exhausted both physically and mentally, and she wishes she could just lie down in bed and do nothing.

So the two of them didn't say anything more, took a shower, changed their clothes, and climbed into bed.

Of course, there was only one bed in the villa, so the two of them had to sleep together tonight.

"Is there really only one bed?" Tang Li asked suspiciously.

How come there is only one bed in such a big villa? It’s too weird, right?

"Yes, I just completed the formalities yesterday. I have only decorated the master bedroom. The guest room is still full of clutter."

"I can't let you sleep on top of the junk."

There was a box of incense on the bedside table next to Tang Keke. At this moment, wisps of smoke were rising, enveloping the entire bedroom in a faint fragrance.

She was lying on her side on the bed, reading a fashion magazine, and responding to Tang Li's words in a disjointed manner.

"Forget it... this bed is pretty big anyway, so let's sleep together."

Tang Li also leaned against the head of the bed and looked at Tang Keke from the side.

He always felt that he was very lucky. He was not missing any limbs when he left the orphanage in his early years. The three children he adopted later were also very outstanding, both in terms of academic performance and appearance.

Tang Keke's profile became very transparent under the reflection of the table lamp, like a goddess in heaven. No matter who saw this scene, they would unconsciously immerse themselves in this noble beauty.

"cocoa."

"Ok?"

"Can you tell me about your time in high school?"

Tang Keke was stunned when she heard this and looked up from the magazine: "You know everything?"

"How could I not know!" Tang Li was immediately furious: "If I hadn't asked your teacher a few days ago, you would have kept it a secret from me forever?!"

"Not really. Let's keep it a secret for another ten years."
