134 134 Pretending to be pitiful
Tan Rou saw Tao Qiās dazed look and thought it was very cute.
Tao Qi was her younger brother. In her previous life, she was insensible and deliberately went against him, which caused Tao Qi to become more and more paranoid and crazy.
...
Tan Rou thought that if she had unravelled the knot in Tao Qiās heart earlier and had a good talk with him earlier, perhaps Tao Qi wouldnāt have been used so badly by Tan Jing.
No, not necessarily. Looking at Tao Qiās reaction now, he was about to see the truth. This time, he definitely wouldnāt be so stupid as to be used by Tan Jing to fight her. She definitely wouldnāt allow such a thing to happen again!
Tao Qi finally digested Tan Rouās words and said thoughtfully, āBelieve in myself? But, I canāt see anything clearly.ā
Tan Rou was helpless. She couldnāt control Tao Qiās thoughts, or else he would have already succeeded. Although this was a bit difficult, he could only rely on himself.
Tan Rou continued to persuade him. āDonāt worry about it. I wonāt stop you from meeting Tan Jing. If you still think sheās good and youāre willing to protect her, then I have nothing to say.ā
Tao Qi pursed his lips and looked at Tan Rou suspiciously. āReally? Even if I didnāt choose you in the end, wouldnāt you be angry?ā
Tan Rouās expression was aggrieved and her eyes were full of disappointment. āI wonāt be angry, but Iāll be very sad.
Tao Qi looked at Tan Rouās aggrieved expression and didnāt know what to do. Tao Qi often saw this kind of expression on Sister Jingjingās face. Every time he saw them, he felt that Sister Jingjing was pitiful and weak.
But⦠this was the first time he had seen it on Tan Rouās face. Tan Rou usually had a cold face or a competitive look. Tao Qi was shocked to see her suddenly show such an expression.
This was similar to the story of the wolf. When a person who had never been soft suddenly showed weakness, it would have a huge impact on others. On the contrary, when a person cried continuously, others would get used to it and no one would be able to tell if she was really sad.
Tan Rouās acting addiction revealed itself. As if she was really hurt by Tao Qiās words, she frowned slightly and pouted, as if she was about to cry the next second.
This immediately triggered Tao Qiās protective desire as a little man. Although he didnāt like Tan Rou yet, he was a boy. How could he make a girl cry?
Tan Rou ⦠Now that she looked like this, she was also a young woman, right?
Tao Qi felt like his head was about to explode. Sister Jingjing was crying in front of him, why was Tan Rou crying in front of him now?
Sigh, as expected, heās a little man now. They all needed his help.
Tao Qi pretended to be mature and tiptoed to pat Tan Rou. āWell, donāt cry. I havenāt chosen Sister Jingjing yet, so you still have a chance. Donāt be sad! Just continue to work hard!ā
Tao Qi tried to comfort Tan Rou the same way he did to Tan Jing. He thought, āSo, Tan Rou would cry too. Girls are just as hard to please. Did I go too far?ā
Tan Rou couldnāt hold it in anymore and covered her face with her hands. Tao Qi thought that Tan Rou was crying because she was too sad and didnāt want him to see it, so he hurriedly comforted her, āDonāt cry, I was wrong, okay? What are you doing, big sister? I already called you sister! Please stop crying!ā
Little did he know that Tan Rou had hidden her face so that she wouldnāt laugh in front of Tao Qi.
Listening to Tao Qiās mischievous words, Tan Rou couldnāt help but want to laugh. She could only cover her face with her hands and laugh silently. Her shoulders shrugged as if she was really crying.
Tao Qiās face was bitter. He didnāt know what was wrong with Tan Rou. He had clearly come back to question her, but now he was comforting her.
Tan Rou was indeed happy. She was just teasing Tao Qi on a whim, but she didnāt expect him to react like this. He actually comforted her like a little adult. So, Tao Qi was afraid of girls crying?
Tan Rou couldnāt help but sigh at this discovery. Tan Jing had always been very good at showing weakness. No matter when, she could always publicise her identity as a victim. Even in the face of a ten-year-old child like Tao Qi, she would cry and act pitiful.
She used to be disdainful, but she didnāt expect it to be so useful, especially in front of Tao Qi. It could be said that Tan Rou had grasped Tao Qiās weakness, which was much easier than her goading.
Tan Rou secretly smiled. It was just pretending to be pitiful and obedient. It was a simple skill and she had succeeded in it.
