pick a peach essence

Tao Tao still got up early the next day.

She rubbed her head, which was still in pain, and took out a painkiller from the cabinet and took a piece.

In the morning, Jiang Jinchen called himself and asked how she was feeling today.

Tao Tao hesitated for a moment, but still didn't tell the truth.

"I'm fine, I can go to work tomorrow."

Tao Tao lowered her head when she heard Jiang Jinchen's relieved voice on the phone.

"It's okay to be okay."

Jiang Jinchen didn't say anything more, he seemed to be aware of Tao Tao's absent-mindedness.

"Then you have a good rest, I will come to see you at night."

Tao Tao responded softly, and hung up the phone.

She felt that her emotions these days were very wrong, especially her attitude towards Jiang Jinchen.

She didn't want to do this, Tao Tao really felt distressed seeing Jiang Jinchen getting more and more haggard recently.

But I really couldn't say a word of concern for him.

It wasn't herself at all.

Tao Tao feels as if she is being controlled by someone now, she is just a shell now, her soul has already slipped away.

So, today she must go to see Li Huan.

She wants to know the truth behind Li Huan's hypnotism.

Thinking of this, Tao Tao lost her appetite at all. She simply packed her things, opened the door and walked out.

However, just as Tao Tao went down one floor, she ran back suddenly.

She took out the key from her backpack and unlocked the bedroom door.

From the cabinet, she found the brand new fruit knife that she and Meng Yuqian bought last time.

Tao Tao held the knife in her hand, feeling strange.

Are you thinking too much?

Tao Tao raised her forehead, but she still put the knife away carefully, and put it in the most convenient place in her backpack.

She glanced at her phone for the last time, and after confirming the time, she walked out of the dormitory.

Xiao Qiong's home is in the busiest section of the city, if Tao Tao wanted to go there, she had to cross the commercial street.

As she walked and looked around, she felt that some places were quietly changing.

But when she took a closer look, she realized that it was her own illusion.

A very scary idea emerged from Tao Tao's mind.

Could it be that this world is actually normal, and the only abnormal one is herself?
Tao Tao stopped suddenly.

She looked at the busy city, large and small shops, and the talking and laughing pedestrians around.

Tao Tao suddenly felt that this world was too unreal.

It was obviously such a real scene, but it was indescribably weird in her eyes.

No, she didn't feel that way before.

Thinking of this, Tao Tao's head hurt again.

Tao Tao then quickened her pace towards Xiao Qiong's house,

Soon she passed by the movie theater where she and Meng Yuqian came last time, and as expected, she thought of the very embarrassing thing that happened here that day.

She thought of Xiao Qiong that day, the way she said the words "drink a cup of Coke to suppress the shock" to herself.

Why has everyone changed and become so strange.

When Tao Tao was watching the movie theater in a daze, she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.

Maybe she was immersed in her own world just now and didn't hear it.

There was a trace of anxiety in that person's voice.

"Tao Tao!"

Finally, Tao Tao heard that person's call, and she turned her head all of a sudden.

She saw senior sister Xiao Lan who was still wearing a professional suit standing behind her.

Tao Tao was very puzzled.

She walked towards senior sister Xiao Lan, and then stared at her blankly.

"you……"

Tao Tao looked at the sweat on Xiao Lan's head, and then wondered if she ran over.

Tao Tao sighed, then took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to Xiao Lan.

"Tao Tao, where are you going?"

However, Xiao Lan didn't take it, she suddenly reached out her hands and pressed Tao Tao's shoulders tightly, and then stared at Tao Tao's eyes with a serious face.

"Me, I'm just walking around."

Tao Tao felt baffled, Xiao Lan's appearance obviously ran out of the company in a hurry.

"Ah, yeah."

Xiao Lan only replied softly after hearing this, Tao Tao couldn't see her emotions.

"Sister, you are..."

Tao Tao finally put the tissue in Xiao Lan's hand, then looked at her clothes, and asked suspiciously.

"Ah, this..."

Xiao Lan picked up the toilet paper and wiped the sweat from her forehead, then followed Tao Tao's gaze and lowered her head, seeing the suit on her body.

"I, I just got off work, and I happened to see you."

Xiao Lan smiled awkwardly at Tao Tao, not daring to look her in the eye.

Tao Tao suddenly felt that Xiao Lan wanted to stop her from seeing Li Huan.

"That's right."

But Tao Tao still nodded slightly, and did not expose her.

"Well, when are you going back to school?"

Xiao Lan tightly clenched the tissue in her hand, and looked at Tao Tao without blinking.

"I just came out, senior."

Tao Tao couldn't laugh or cry.

"Ah, that's it."

So Xiao Lan nodded again, but didn't say anything.

"Then senior sister, I will go first."

Although Tao Tao didn't know whether Xiao Lan's purpose was good or bad, since it was something she had decided on, she must complete it.

After Tao Tao finished speaking, she glanced apologetically at Senior Xiao Lan, and then turned around to leave.

"and many more!"

Xiao Lan suddenly stopped her excitedly.

"us……"

Tao Tao turned her head and looked at Xiao Lan who looked anxious but hesitated and couldn't speak.

She smiled.

"It's okay senior sister, I know, you..."

However, before Tao Tao finished speaking, she saw Xiao Lan walking in front of her all of a sudden, pulling her arm and pulling her back.

"Sister..."

For the first time, Tao Tao felt that Xiao Lan's strength was really great.

"Oh, little Taozi, we finally met once, just go shopping with me."

Xiao Lan said eagerly while pulling Tao Tao vigorously.

Tao Tao sighed, then she suddenly squeezed Xiao Lan's hand tightly.

Xiao Lan felt the warmth in his palm, and was slightly taken aback.

Tao Tao took advantage of this moment to pull Xiao Lan to stop.

"Sister, I know you are doing it for my own good."

Tao Tao is going to talk to Xiao Lan straight to the point.

"you……"

After hearing these words, Xiao Lan looked at the serious girl in front of her in shock.

"Do you not want me to see Li Huan?"

Tao Tao looked into Xiao Lan's eyes and said these words.

Xiao Lan suddenly lowered her head.

"Yes."

she muttered.

Tao Tao curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled.

"It's okay, senior sister, don't worry, I know what to do, and I also know how to protect myself."

Tao Tao held Xiao Lan's hand, and assured her senior sister who was worried about her with a serious face.

Xiao Lan shook her head helplessly after hearing this.

"No, things are not as simple as you imagined, Tao Tao!"

Xiao Lan raised her head and stared into Tao Tao's eyes.

"Do you know? The current Xiao family is like a hell on earth, and everyone in the Xiao family is like a lunatic at this moment."

Tao Tao was stunned for a moment, she never thought that Xiao Lan would say these words to herself.

"The entire Xiao family is abnormal from top to bottom, and I don't know if they will do anything terrible."

When Xiao Lan said this, she suddenly trembled imperceptibly.

Seeing this, Tao Tao quickly supported Xiao Lan's shoulders, and then led her to a chair beside her and sat down.

"Listen to me now, okay?"

Xiao Lan said to Tao Tao with a little pleading.

Tao Tao lowered her head to look at her watch, then glanced at the light blue eyes of her senior, and finally sighed.

"Okay, I'm listening."

After hearing these words, Xiao Lan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"They all have problems."

Xiao Lan looked at Tao Tao seriously.

"I don't know since when people around me have become weird and weird."

"When I was young, I didn't feel warm at home, but I still had my brother at that time, so I still felt very happy at that time."

"only……"

When Xiao Lan said this, she choked up slightly.

"I just don't know why, my brother recently makes me feel very strange."

After Tao Tao heard it, she frowned imperceptibly.

"He would go out early every day and come home very late."

"And he has become more and more indifferent to me recently. I am very worried about him, so I wait for him to come back every night."

"But every time he came home and saw me drowsy sitting on the sofa, he always frowned and told me not to do unnecessary things."

Tao Tao finally heard Xiao Lan's cry.

"How can this be superfluous? I really don't know what he has been through recently. Although he was cold and quiet before, only I know that he is also a very gentle person."

Tao Tao looked at the trembling Xiao Lan, and stretched out her arms to wrap her shoulders.

"So, I've been following him every day in order to find out why he's been acting weird lately."

"I found……"

When Xiao Lan said this, she suddenly raised her head and looked into Tao Tao's eyes.

"I found out that he actually follows you and looks at you every day."

After Tao Tao heard these words, she suddenly felt shuddering.

Always...following me?

Tao Tao didn't react for a long time.

She felt a chill instantly, wrapping herself tightly.

really……

She feels that no matter what she does recently, she has a feeling of being watched.

Xiao Lan looked at the motionless Tao Tao, suddenly remembered something, and anxiously touched her shoulder.

"What time did you agree with your brother?"

Only then did Tao Tao react.

"09:30..."

"It happened!"

Xiao Lan glanced at her watch and found that it was almost nine o'clock.

"Let's go!"

Before Xiao Lan could wait for Tao Tao to react, she grabbed her hand and ran towards the corner of the street.
