pick a peach essence

Tao Tao walked down the street as if she had lost her soul.

She didn't know which direction she was going, and she didn't know where she was going.

She was like a puppet at this moment, controlled by emotions, and lost her heart.

However, when she realized it, she had already arrived at the downstairs of Jiang Jinchen's company.

She looked at the familiar building in front of her, and suddenly smiled inexplicably.

It turned out that what I really cared about was Jiang Jinchen.

That's fine, since you're here, let's confess your heart to Jiang Jinchen this time.

She wanted to know the truth, the truth that Jiang Jinchen told herself.

There's no way, who would let himself have a permanent preference for this man?
No matter what he said to herself, she would always believe it.

Tao Tao wiped the wet tears on her face, adjusted her expression, and walked into the company's gate.

Standing there is still the lovely young lady at the front desk.

"Good afternoon, ma'am."

The young lady smiled sweetly at Tao Tao.

But Tao Tao was not infected by her smile this time.

She just pulled a smile that was uglier than crying, smiled at the young lady, and then walked into the elevator.

The girl looked at Tao Tao's expression suspiciously, and instinctively felt that something must have happened.

Tao Tao stood in the elevator tightly clutching the bag in her hand, her heart seemed to be overweight, and gradually stopped beating.

Soon, the elevator arrived at Jiang Jinchen's floor.

Tao Tao suddenly didn't dare to take this step, because she didn't know how to face Jiang Jinchen and the man who was so gentle to her at this moment.

Tao Tao took a deep breath, intending to have a good talk with him without doubt or questioning.

However, when Tao Tao just walked to the door of Jiang Jinchen's office, she heard a woman's voice coming from inside.

She froze for a moment, and the hand that was tightly gripping the doorknob gradually lost its color.

"Why on earth are you doing this to me?" Tao Tao heard Li Huan's voice.

"I warned you a long time ago, don't touch what you shouldn't touch." The next second, Jiang Jinchen's familiar voice came from the door, but Tao Tao felt a little dazed at this moment.

"So, you want my life?"

Tao Tao was stunned for a moment, she remembered what Xiao Qiong said to herself before.

"Don't forget, I did you such a big favor, and you are treating me like this now?" Li Huan sounded very angry.

But what Tao Tao cared about was, what did Li Huan help Jiang Jinchen before?

Jiang Jinchen never told himself about this.

really……

"If Tao Tao didn't show up that day, would I really die?" Li Huan continued to question with a trembling voice.

Tao Tao couldn't believe her ears.Could it be that what Xiao Qiong said is true?

"Then it has nothing to do with me." Jiang Jinchen's toneless voice came again.

Then there was no more movement in the room, and Tao Tao's heartbeat seemed to disappear together.

She felt that she was really close to the truth now, but this truth was definitely the last thing she wanted to hear.

While she was in a daze, the door of the office suddenly opened.

Li Huan came out from inside, she looked at Tao Tao who was standing at the door, and was taken aback for a moment.

Tao Tao didn't look at her, she just turned and walked into the room and closed the door.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Jinchen looked at Tao Tao who suddenly appeared at the door, and was a little panicked.

Tao Tao smiled at him, and asked casually, "What were you two talking about just now?"

Jiang Jinchen paused, then said, "It's nothing, let's talk about work."

Tao Tao looked at Jiang Jinchen who seemed to be deliberately avoiding her gaze, her heart turned cold.

"I have a few questions I want to ask you." Tao Tao decided to get straight to the point, because she felt that if she looked at Jiang Jinchen a few more times, she would still be as soft-hearted as before.

Jiang Jinchen looked at Tao Tao's serious face, hesitant to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.

"You're not in good health yet, come and sit down." Tao Tao was led by Jiang Jinchen to sit on the sofa.

The two looked at each other like this, and fell silent.

Tao Tao felt that Jiang Jinchen probably knew something.

On the way just now, Tao Tao had already thought about the questions she wanted to ask him, but now, looking at Jiang Jinchen's gentle eyes, she couldn't say a word.

"It's okay, you can ask." Jiang Jinchen smiled at Tao Tao, stretched out his hand to stroke her somewhat messy hair.

Tao Tao suddenly felt very unbearable.

"Did we meet each other when we were young?" Tao Tao finally avoided the eyes that made her sink, and asked the question that had been hidden in her heart.

"Yes." Jiang Jinchen froze for a moment, then nodded.

"Then... did some unpleasant things happen between us?" Tao Tao asked the second question in a low voice.

Jiang Jinchen suddenly fell silent.

"Yes..." He thought about it carefully, and remembered Tao Tao's disappointed eyes when he knew that he had sneaked out to save his younger brother without her behind his back.

it is as expected.Tao Tao tried hard to control her emotions.

"Then...you said before that I saved your life." Tao Tao asked the most mysterious question hidden in the past of the two of them.

"Yes." Jiang Jinchen answered her without hesitation this time.

Tao Tao smiled, she turned her head and looked Jiang Jinchen in the eyes, and asked the last question. "Actually, I didn't save you, but your most important person, right?"

Jiang Jinchen was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand why Tao Tao said that.

But he looked into Tao Tao's expectant eyes, and finally nodded. "In a sense... yes."

After Tao Tao heard these words, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart that had been beating since just now finally calmed down.

"Okay, I see." Tao Tao nodded to Jiang Jinchen, then got up, and walked out without looking at him again.

Jiang Jinchen froze in place.When he was about to get up and chase out, he suddenly received a call.

He stopped, glanced at the caller ID, finally closed his eyes in pain, and stayed where he was.

She didn't know what that phone call meant to Jiang Jinchen at the time.

Tao Tao walked on the road alone, feeling the cold wind blowing on her face.

He didn't catch up, Tao Tao curled up her mouth and smiled.

She suddenly remembered the fragment that had appeared in her dreams countless times.

The girl in the white dress and the boy whose face was not visible against the light.

Sure enough, just as Xiao Qiong said, that girl was not her, but what was ridiculous was that her skirt was stained with her own blood.

Jiang Jinchen also admitted that Tao Tao didn't save him, but his most important person.

It was the girl who had been by his side all the time, not the humble self who had been following behind the two of them.

This time, between Jiang Jinchen and Xiao Qiong, she chose to believe in Xiao Qiong.

The reason is very simple, because the person I have trusted for so long didn't even give me a superfluous explanation this time.

He just stared helplessly, watching himself out of his sight.

Tao Tao finally took the car home.

When a person is vulnerable, he wants to go back to his warm harbor to heal his wounds silently.

"You're back." As soon as the door opened, Tao Tao saw her mother standing outside the door smiling and looking at her.

The woman smiled softly, then pulled Tao Tao into the room.

"Why don't you tell me in advance, I'll cook something delicious for you." The woman opened the refrigerator door while talking.

"Look, there is no food at home." The woman looked at the somewhat empty refrigerator and shook her head helplessly.

"No need, mom, I'm not hungry." Tao Tao looked at the woman who was about to go out to buy vegetables, and quickly got up to hold her back.

The woman turned her head and looked at Tao Tao with a sad expression.

"Did something happen to you?" The woman immediately saw her daughter's emotions.

Tao Tao was silent.

The woman sighed, pulled Tao Tao to sit on the chair, and said softly to her. "It's okay, you can tell mom."

"Mom." Seeing the love in the woman's eyes, Tao Tao finally couldn't help crying.

"Good girl, don't cry." The woman hugged Tao Tao tightly in distress.

Tao Tao vented her emotions unscrupulously in her mother's arms.

After a long time, she stopped.

The woman straightened Tao Tao's messy hair, with a worried expression on her face.

Tao Tao hadn't given up until this moment.

She looked at her mother and asked a question. "Mom, did I live in this city when I was young?"

Tao Tao stared at her mother without blinking.

But her mother panicked suddenly, and Tao Tao's heart fluttered accordingly.

But in the end, the mother's words completely extinguished the cluster of flames in her heart.

"No, we have never been to this city before." Tao Tao lay on the bed, her mother's words filled her mind.

Sure enough, the mother was not telling the truth to herself.Because of this, the truth that Xiao Qiong told herself was confirmed, it was Jiang Jinchen who drove their mother and daughter out of here.

only……

Tao Tao covered her head in pain, until now, she still couldn't bear it.

And at this moment, her mobile phone on the table rang suddenly, and she glanced at the caller ID, it was Jiang Jinchen.

Tao Tao pressed the red button without thinking.

But he persistently made dozens of more calls, and Tao Tao still chose to refuse every time.

Finally, Jiang Jinchen gave up.

Tao Tao smiled and was about to turn off the phone.

However, as soon as she put her finger on the button, two text messages suddenly appeared on the phone.

"I'm sorry, Tao Tao, I... really lied to you, but can you give me a chance to listen to my explanation? I'll wait for you at the gate of the school."

"Where are you? Are you sad now, do you want to come out and have a chat? Come and find me in the cafe where we met last time."

Tao Tao looked at these two messages and lowered her head, wondering what she was thinking.

After a while, she picked up the coat hanging on the wall, came to the gate of the community, ran in one direction and walked out without looking back.
