"Would you like another drink?" Tao Xiaoyu didn't answer Tang Manwen's question immediately. Compared to this, she wanted to ease her anxiety first.

"Has Cheng Qiyun ever looked for you?" Tang Manwen asked again.

The two of them sat together on the dark green old-fashioned leather sofa, about one meter apart.

Tao Xiaoyu turned sideways slightly, then shook his head, "Who is Cheng Qiyun?"

She didn't see Cheng Qiyun in the room, and what she was worried about didn't happen. Tang Manwen calmed down a little.

"You don't know him?"

"Should I know her?"

"That's right." Tang Manwen laughed at herself, "Pour me another glass."

Tao Xiaoyu heard the words and stood up holding the cup.

While she was going to pour water, Tang Manwen found Cheng Qiyun's photo on the Internet. After Tao Xiaoyu came back, she handed the phone to her, "Have you seen this person before?"

"It turned out to be a man!" Tao Xiaoyu just mistook Cheng Qiyun for someone new to Tang Manwen. She was confused for a while, and her tone became sharp. When she saw the photo, she was inexplicably relieved.

Although she knew that Tang Manwen didn't like herself, she knew that from Tang Manchun, Tang Manwen definitely liked women.

"Of course, Wang Qiqi and Ri Yunyun are originally men's names."

"Who is he?"

When Tao Xiaoyu asked, Tang Manwen showed an embarrassing expression again.

In an instant, Tao Xiaoyu somewhat understood the reason for Tang Manwen's sudden departure that night and her sudden arrival today.

So she added, "I know."

"What do you know?" Seeing Tao Xiaoyu's secretive expression, Tang Manwen guessed that she had made up the story between herself and Cheng Qiyun indiscriminately.

"It's just—" being pressed by the other party, Tao Xiaoyu suddenly hesitated, "This person is the bamboo horse who has been pestering you for many years, right?" Although she wasn't sure if she could ask such a thing, her mouth was already out of her head .

Tang Manwen spit out the water when she drank from her mouth.

"Manchun told me, but she didn't name her name." Seeing Tang Manwen's reaction, Tao Xiaoyu knew she had guessed right.

"That's right." Tang Manwen took the paper towel handed over by Tao Xiaoyu in embarrassment, wiped her mouth, then took out a few more papers, and wiped the table dry.

Silence fell.

Tao Xiaoyu didn't want to ask any more questions, all of this was enough.

Regarding Cheng Qiyun, Tang Manwen definitely didn't want to talk about it.

Tao Xiaoyu can understand her. Over the years, while she wanted to forget Tang Manwen, she always inquired about her love life as if nothing had happened.

Originally, Tao Xiaoyu thought it was strange how it was possible for someone with Tang Manwen's condition to be single all the time.

It wasn't until Quexianqiao got drunk and slept in the other party's bed all night that she gradually believed what Tang Manchun said, "My sister's love life is a desert."

Earlier, Tang Manchun was always reluctant to further explain why Tang Manwen's emotional life is a desert and to have more details. Until this May Day holiday, Tang Manchun accidentally mentioned——

"I heard that my sister's annoying bamboo horse is back. He is really annoying. He will wait until my sister refuses to marry.

"I'm most annoyed by this kind of self-righteous and wishful thinking. In my sister's mouth, he is obviously a strange man, but everyone is inexplicable and praises him. He doesn't eat meat, doesn't touch oil and salt, so he keeps himself clean." , My sister doesn’t accept him, is it a crime to want to be single?! Keep pestering him, the most boring and tasteless.”

Coupled with Tang Manwen's actions today, Tao Xiaoyu suddenly understood and finally believed that Tang Manwen had been single all along, so there must be something unspeakable.

"That night," Tang Manwen broke the silence, "it felt pretty good."

"Oh," Tao Xiaoyu said with imperceptible caution, "What are you referring to?"

"The restaurant you arranged, the dinner you cooked, and," Tang Manwen leaned back, hugging the back of her head with her backhand, "and the song you sang." Her eyes were faintly shining.

"So, now I only owe you a favor?" Tao Xiaoyu hoped that the atmosphere would be more relaxed.

Tang Manwen didn't answer, she looked at Tao Xiaoyu, and then said, "I'm sorry that night." Her tone was very light, and she didn't sound guilty.

"Sister Manwen, do you have something bothering you?" Tao Xiaoyu knew that if she didn't ask, with her personality, she probably wouldn't take the initiative to tell.

"How to say?"

"Your face, your expression, your tone—" Now that he said it, Tao Xiaoyu no longer concealed it, "You reveal it all over your body, I am so annoying, really annoying, Tao Xiaoyu, Help me, save me! Okay, Tao Xiaoyu?" She said in a funny and playful tone.

"Fuck you, how did you save me?" For a moment, Tang Manwen was so cute that Tao Xiaoyu was teased.

"That's not necessarily true," Tao Xiaoyu became serious, "Sister Manwen's troubles cannot be solved with money, so it means that you need to use other methods, maybe I just can."

Tang Manwen looked at Tao Xiaoyu with a lively expression, and fell into deep thought.

"Cheng Qiyun and I are very complicated. He's a little—" Tang Manwen sat upright again, "How should I put it, that person is a little paranoid and doesn't listen to persuasion."

"Even Sister Manwen can't deal with him?"

"You're not so naive as to think I'm omnipotent, are you?" Tang Manwen smiled self-deprecatingly.

"No." Tao Xiaoyu looked into Tang Manwen's eyes, "I don't think there is any need for Sister Manwen to be afraid. The reason why pain has always been pain is because I didn't face it properly."

Tang Manwen was taken aback, Tao Xiaoyu hit her pain point.

"You said that you envy Manchun and I for being born in a big family," she said helplessly, "Sometimes, I also envy you for being born in a simple family without too much burden."

"Then what is Sister Manwen going to do?"

Tang Manwen was taken aback again, Cheng Qiyun was a person who made her feel helpless, while he was a good person in front of others, he was also unscrupulous in front of her.

"Can I stay here today?"

Tao Xiaoyu was noncommittal, at this moment, she couldn't bear to reject Tang Manwen again.

"why?"

"Hide from Cheng Qiyun."

Even Tang Manwen herself was surprised, she never had the habit of showing weakness to others, but after saying such words to Tao Xiaoyu, she didn't feel the expected embarrassment.

"What is he going to do?" Tao Xiaoyu still couldn't understand, did that person have three heads and six arms?

"Bring me to dinner." Tang Manwen couldn't help feeling ridiculous as soon as the words came out.

"So, you don't want to see him?"

Tang Manwen nodded.

From the troubled look of the other party, Tao Xiaoyu understood that it was not as simple as being unable to refuse Cheng Qiyun.

"No matter where you go, he can find you, right?"

Tang Manwen nodded again.

It's not that Tao Xiaoyu has never experienced helplessness, but he has never been so depressed as he is now.

The calmer the other party was, the more oppressive she felt in her chest.

"What if you don't want what he wants?"

"In his words," Tang Manwen exhaled, "it's probably destroyed together."

"He looks quite handsome in the photo, but it sounds like he is very dark inside."

"He's not dark inside, but—inner perverted."

Tao Xiaoyu was dumbfounded. The most hateful person she ever met was Cai Chengmin, but she was far from being a pervert, so she couldn't empathize with Tang Manwen's troubles.

"You know?" Tang Manwen suddenly smiled jokingly, "Are you in danger now?"

"Sister Manwen, don't scare me!" Tao Xiaoyu seemed frightened on the outside, but she was secretly happy in her heart. She couldn't hide her happiness even if it was a dangerous thing to be connected with Tang Manwen.

"Scare you! Do you think I am in the mood to scare you now?"

"Then why am I in danger?" Tao Xiaoyu couldn't help but began to test the edge of danger again.

Tang Manwen smiled dryly and wickedly, "Well! Maybe Cheng Qiyun found out about you staying overnight at my house." It was inexplicably easy to tease this little girl.

"Wow!" Tao Xiaoyu exclaimed, "Speaking of which, he is really a bit perverted, and he knows this kind of thing! Could it be that he is spying on you?!"

"Maybe." Tang Manwen wasn't sure if Cheng Qiyun knew about it, but since his movements became more and more frequent, it proved that he knew about Tao Xiaoyu's existence before the night when he came to visit at home. .

She originally wanted to tease Tao Xiaoyu, but both of them became serious. "If you see Cheng Qiyun in the future, you can hide as far as you can, understand?"

A romantic person like Tao Xiaoyu would probably be made to cry by Cheng Qiyun in a few moments.Tang Manwen thought.

Tao Xiaoyu nodded, continuing to be secretly happy, so, is Miss Manwen worried about me?

She really wanted to wake up, and wanted to warn herself that this kind of thinking was tantamount to playing with fire.

But at this moment, she only cared about being happy.

Every time she wanted to get rid of Tang Manwen, she had to shed a layer of skin, but as long as the other party gently pulled, all her efforts were in vain in an instant.

"Sister Manwen can stay at my house without worry." Tao Xiaoyu's tone was a little naive, she didn't know Cheng Qiyun's methods, and thought he couldn't find it here.

Seeing that she was no longer annoyed, Tang Manwen realized that the events of that night were over, and felt a lot lighter for no reason.

Ever since Cheng Qiyun ignored her refusal again that night, in the past few days, during the busy breaks, she has often lost her mind.

Today, he called Tang Manwen early in the morning, but she didn't answer, and the other party sent a message immediately, "I'll pick you up at five o'clock."

The news seems to indicate that no matter where Tang Manwen is at five o'clock, Cheng Qiyun has a way to pick her up.

Running away like this is too unlike her usual style.

Pulling away from the mess, Tang Manwen bumped into Tao Xiaoyu's smiling eyes.

"I'm very hungry and haven't eaten anything today," she said.

"Sister Manwen, I made beef fried sauce two days ago, it was delicious, let me cook beef noodles for you." Tao Xiaoyu stood up, turned and walked towards the kitchen without waiting for Tang Manwen to agree.

While cooking the noodles, she suddenly remembered that Yuan invited Xitong over today to eat beef noodles.

Even if Sister Manwen is here, Xiao Yuan won't mind.Tao Xiaoyu comforted herself while being busy, should she be informed?

Eventually, she forgot.

After about half an hour, a bowl of beef noodles with sun eggs was ready.

Tao Xiaoyu put the noodles on the dining table, then walked to the living room, only to find Tang Manwen curled up on the sofa and fell asleep, her hands were covering her chest, her long hair was hanging down a little, and she was breathing evenly .

Compared to the last time I saw her sleeping soundly, she looked a little fragile at this moment.

Tao Xiaoyu did not wake Tang Manwen up, but found a thin quilt and gently draped it over her body.

When the thin white quilt covered her shoulders, Tang Manwen moved, her eyes opened slightly, and she closed her eyes safely after seeing Tao Xiaoyu covering herself with the quilt.

Looking at Tang Manwen, looking at her sleeping face with a sad face, Tao Xiaoyu realized that he could only wander outside her world, and couldn't help her troubles, so she couldn't help feeling lonely.

In fact, Tang Manwen didn't sleep for long, she woke up after a while.

However, the beef noodles cooked by Tao Xiaoyu had already turned lumpy.

"Let me cook another bowl," she said.

"No need." Tang Manwen sat down at the dining table, reached out to touch the side of the bowl, "It's still warm." Then she rolled her temple hair with her left hand.

She didn't listen to Tao Xiaoyu's persuasion, picked up the wooden chopsticks next to the bowl, and started to eat.

In the end, after finishing the eggs and beef, she couldn't eat that side, so she said, "I can't eat this side."

"Shall I do something else for you?"

"No need," Tang Manwen looked at the watch on her left wrist, "I have to go back."

Tao Xiaoyu knew what that meant, her heart suddenly tightened.

After sending Tang Manwen to the door, she couldn't help asking, "Sister Manwen, if it's your next birthday, Cheng Qiyun still wants to treat you to dinner?"

"You don't have to worry about this matter. I will find a way to solve it as soon as possible. Just remember what I said."

Tao Xiaoyu was disappointed, but didn't pester Tang Manwen any more.

Just when she was about to say goodbye, she caught a glimpse of a light blue figure approaching them from the corner of her eye. She raised her head and found that Tang Manwen was already looking at that person, so she also turned sideways and found that the person walking over was Yuan Xi Tong.

"She is your guest!"

Tang Manwen's volume was somewhere between Tao Xiaoyu's hearing and Yuan Xitong's inability to hear.

"Yes, she is." Tao Xiaoyu replied in a low voice.

"Little Tao." Yuan Xitong began to call out six or seven meters away, her voice was so clear that people could tell she was happy just by hearing it.
