Pick Up the Heroine and Sprint

After answering the phone, Tao Xiling's face turned slightly pale, and her expression was obviously wrong.

In fact, the sound insulation of the elderly machine is not good, and the sound is very close, so she can actually hear the voice on the phone very clearly.

At the beginning, Shi Ting didn't realize that such a thing would happen, she was still thinking... Is the name "Little Ling" actually Tao Xiling's mother's nickname for her? It's quite kind.

But then, she heard the following words.

Although I heard from time to time that Tao Xiling's parents were a little bit more patriarchal, but no matter what, they were the parents who raised Tao Xiling, took care of her food and shelter and sent her to school.

Tao Xiling's words did not reveal too many unqualified aspects of her parents, and there was no resentment, so Shi Ting guessed that the relationship between them should be good.

Now that he learned that his father had broken his leg, Tao Xiling must be feeling bad.

Thinking that Tao Xiling would be heartbroken and sad for this, Shi Ting felt uncomfortable for her.

Looking at Tao Xiling's pale face at this moment, she pursed her lips even more.

Tao Xiling took a deep breath, and then explained to the mother on the phone, "Don't worry, Mom, have you sent Dad to the hospital?"

Shi Ting quietly stood aside, staring at Tao Xiling quietly.

The voice over the phone came: "Send it, your sixth uncle happened to have a car at home, so I asked him to take me and your dad to the hospital to have a look, but, but Xiaoling, the doctor said that your dad's leg fell. It's broken, what do you mean to put on a steel plate? You have to do surgery! Ouch, what can I do? It's such a big thing to do surgery, I, I..."

The other side said, and cried again.

Shi Ting turned his head to the side, his expression slightly moved.

She doesn't know much about this, but... if the situation is serious enough to take a steel plate, it may be a bit serious.

Hospitalization fees, surgery fees, follow-up treatments, prescriptions, and the cost of installing steel plates... the total sum of zero and zero should be very difficult for a family like Tao Xiling.

And if you want to have a smooth operation and a good follow-up recovery, it is best to choose better steel plates and hospitals. But in doing so, all costs may also go up.

Shi Ting lowered her eyes and pondered, and began to think about how much money she had in her private property, and whether it was enough to give to Tao Xiling.

In fact, Shi Ting's family is rich, and it's not a problem to help Tao Xiling's father in the operation, but Shi Ting doesn't want to use his parents' money for the time being.

After all, she helped Tao Xiling because she had selfish intentions.

Shi Ting is not a kind person who is willing to help others. The reason why she is willing to help Tao Xiling is because they were friends before, but now, Tao Xiling is the person she likes.

Therefore, when listening to this money, I want to get it myself.

Of course, if she doesn't have enough money, she will borrow it from her parents, but it's not for nothing.

But now the question is... Will Tao Xiling want it?

Of course, her father's injury was the first priority. Tao Xiling was not a stubborn and pedantic person, so she probably wouldn't be stubborn in this kind of thing.

Shi Ting pursed her lips, raised her eyes again and looked at Tao Xiling worriedly.

Tao Xiling comforted her mother, "Mom, don't worry and don't cry first, listen to me, first ask the doctor about the specific operation and treatment, the cost, and the hospitalization of my father? Have you paid the fee? Is there enough money? I used to have a part-time tutor and still have salary, I will call you right away."

Tao's mother: "Qian, your sixth uncle helped me with the cushion first, and we have to pay it back. Xiaoling, can you take a leave of absence from school? Why don't you go home?"

Tao Xiling said: "Okay, don't worry, I'll book the ticket now."

Mother Tao cried for a while, then hung up the phone.

When the call was closed, all the voices were cut off, and the environment suddenly returned to quiet, but this quietness did not make people calm, but became more and more uncomfortable.

Tao Xiling slowly lowered her hand and put down her phone, raised her head and looked at Shi Ting subconsciously.

Her complexion has not recovered yet, and the state of her whole person is in stark contrast to just now. She has some worries and unconscious helplessness, and when she looks at the listening line, it is like asking for help in a daze, like that This kind of person will look at the performance of the trusted person for the first time.

Shi Ting's heart hurts when she sees her eyes like this, she holds Tao Xiling's hand without thinking, "Don't be afraid, don't worry, I will help you, I will help you."

Shi Ting took Tao Xiling into his arms and reached out to pat her on the back.

For a family like Shi Ting, such a thing is not a problem at all, she doesn't even need to worry about it, it's good to be a hands-off shopkeeper. But it was different for Tao Xiling.

Money is the only thorn that shackles her.

It's just a simple word, but the experience brought by money and no money is completely different, and it can even be said that...no money is their biggest dilemma.

Shi Ting took a deep breath, the tip of her nose turned red from the cold air, her nose was a little sour, but it was not as uncomfortable as her heart.

Shi Ting felt sorry for Tao Xiling, but also worried about her.

She turned her head and said softly to Tao Xiling, "Don't be stupid, do you know? I know a little about your family situation. If you have any difficulties, just tell me directly, don't be stubborn, understand? I will definitely help you, I'm not afraid of trouble. , I'm just afraid you don't want to trouble me."

She likes Tao Xiling, so she can accept everything about the other party, not only Tao Xiling's indulgence, tenderness and love for her, but also the so-called "trouble" brought by the other party's trouble at the moment.

What she feared most was that Tao Xiling was unwilling to let her help.

Shi Ting's whisper in her ear gradually recalled Tao Xiling's thoughts, she closed her eyes, stretched out her hand and grabbed Shi Ting's clothes, buried her in her shoulders and breathed her warmth, and then said hoarsely: "I know, thank you."

Shi Ting patted her, "Thank you, we have such a relationship."

After the two returned, Tao Xiling quickly started booking tickets.

Shi Ting glanced at the situation on her side, "Is there no direct high-speed train?"

Tao Xiling raised her eyes, then shook her head gently, "Only trains."

She usually travels back and forth by train or bus. They don't even have a high-speed rail station there, and Tao Xiling has never taken a high-speed rail.

And even if it's a train, it's not her hometown after arriving at the station, and she still needs to transfer to a bus or bus to get to the small town.

The delay in this is not long.

After listening to Tao Xiling explain the situation over there, Shi Ting frowned slightly, then she reached out and pressed Tao Xiling's mobile phone, and said to the other party, "I'll find someone to take us there."

Tao Xiling was stunned for a moment, and she had a slight movement. She asked hesitantly, "But will this be too troublesome?"

Shi Ting raised his eyebrows, "It's okay, what kind of trouble is this?"

Then she took out her cell phone and called.

The distance between City D and City A is good, and it should be possible to reach it by taking the expressway in three hours. And it also saves the time of waiting in line for the car to transfer, but it is worth it.

What's more, Shi Ting is not without a car and no one. Since there are better options, of course, choose the better one.

After finishing the phone call, Shi Ting said, "Let's pack up."

Tao Xiling pursed her lips and nodded.

When Tao Xiling saw that she was also packing her things, she couldn't help but stunned, "Are you... going with me too?"

Shi Ting nodded, "Of course, I don't worry about you running over there as a little girl, so if you go with you, you can take care of you."

Tao Xiling pursed her lips and clenched her fingers slowly, feeling mixed feelings in her heart.

She was naturally moved. After all, Shi Ting thought of her so much and helped her so much, even if the other party was just an ordinary roommate to her, Tao Xiling was grateful to her.

But it's not just familiar strangers.

She is also Tao Xiling's favorite and once secretly vowed to protect the cherished person.

She has not waited for her to protect the other party, but she was once again protected by the other party...

Tao Xiling was more ashamed in her heart, probably with some slight embarrassment that was always protected and always caused trouble.

Although Shi Ting would not think she was troublesome, and the other party had never had negative emotions or complaints, how could Tao Xiling be at ease over and over again.

She closed her eyes and squeezed her fingers slightly, and her fingertips were all white.

After a while, Tao Xiling took a deep breath.

"It doesn't matter, you don't have to follow, I can do it alone."

Shi Ting refused without thinking, "This is the first time you have experienced such a thing, how can it be? One more person will always take care of you. And don't worry, I will wait for your father to be successfully hospitalized and make an appointment for surgery. I'll be back, I won't be here any longer."

Tao Xiling's eyelashes trembled, "Listen when..."

Shi Ting looked up at her, and then directly blocked her words, "Hurry up and clean up, and we'll go to the counselor to ask for leave. Be good, don't think too much, it's all right with me."

Tao Xiling closed her eyes, then came to Shi Ting, pulled her in her suspicious eyes, pulled her into her arms and hugged her.

With extreme restraint, the palm pressed Shi Ting's lower back.

Afterwards, she let go, and then packed up her things.

Shi Ting blinked and touched his waist.

I don't know why, but just now she always had the illusion that Tao Xiling also had hot feelings for herself.

But the illusion should be just an illusion, Shi Ting didn't think much about it, and quickly put this matter behind him.

After the two had packed their things, they went to their respective counselors to ask for leave. Shi Ting asked for two days of leave first, and it was easier for her to ask for it. For this kind of request or request, the counselors basically stayed open. Close one eye and give them the greatest accommodating.

After all... just, all of them are, ahem, those who come in through the back door are affiliated departments, and counselors generally don't feel uncomfortable.

But Tao Xiling might be in trouble.

One is the reason of their counselor, and the other is that Tao Xiling can't say that it will take a few days to come back.

When can surgery be done? How long does it take to recover after surgery? How long will Tao Xiling take care of as a daughter? These are currently unknown.

When Shi Ting went over, she found that Tao Xiling had not yet asked for leave, so she quietly asked for permission and entered the office to help Tao Xiling intercede.

In the end, the counselor gave a conservative answer, asking Tao Xiling to ask for five days' leave first. If her father's condition is not very good by then, she will make a new leave application.

Shi Ting said at the time that she could come to help Tao Xiling make up the leave application.

Tao Xiling's brows and eyes moved slightly, her fingers hanging down below moved, and she reached out to touch Shi Ting's arm.

The warm touch was fleeting, but it was enough.

Tao Xiling closed her eyes, relying on that little touch to comfort herself.

After asking for leave, the two of them set off directly by car.

After sitting in the back seat, Shi Ting looked at Tao Xiling. The other party's complexion had not recovered until this time. She turned her head to look at the scenery flashing by the window, her face was still a little pale, and she looked fragile. Like a crystal doll.

Shi Ting pursed her lips, stretched over and pulled Tao Xiling's coat.

Tao Xiling turned her head back and smiled at the right time.

When I heard it, I felt strangely uncomfortable.

She said to Tao Xiling, "Don't worry, everything can be good when you arrive at the hospital. Although I, I have never broken a leg, but I seem to have heard that as long as the operation is completed and the injury is recovered, I will follow It's the same as before, don't be afraid."

Tao Xiling's brows and eyes had a soft, unexplainable smile, "En."

Shi Ting said: "There's still a while, do you want to lie down and squint for a while? Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to rest well there."

Tao Xiling shook her head gently, "No, I... can't sleep."

Of course, Shi Ting knew that Tao Xiling was worried about the accident in her family, but she felt that at night, if Tao Xiling had to accompany her to take care of her in bed, she would definitely not be able to sleep well, and Tao Xiling's face was so bad, Shi Ting was really worried.

There was worry in her eyes, "But you may have trouble sleeping even more when you arrive at the hospital. If it really doesn't work, you can just close your eyes and rest for a while..."

Tao Xiling couldn't resist her, she curled the corners of her lips lightly, and then closed her eyes as she said.

Tao Xiling slowly leaned her head on the back of the chair, her heart was full of emotions, but she couldn't tell what she was thinking.

She was in a mess at the moment.

Tao Xiling knew she had to calm down, but she couldn't calm down.

She thought she had grown up enough to be able to do everything by herself, but only now did Tao Xiling understand that it was not enough, far from enough.

She still needs to grow up.

The car suddenly hit a bump.

Tao Xiling's figure was crooked, and then leaned down towards Shi Ting.

Shi Ting Yu Guang caught a glimpse of this situation, and the movement of fiddling with the phone suddenly stopped, and looked sideways at the situation on Tao Xiling's side.

With a little nervousness and inexplicable expectations, she sat stiffly on the spot, straightened her back, and didn't dare to move immediately.

Then, Tao Xiling put the pillow on her shoulder.

Shi Ting blinked frantically and almost wanted to go to the playground for two laps. But she also took into account the current situation and was afraid that she would disturb Tao Xiling, so she did nothing.

Tao Xiling was not asleep. In fact, she had always been awake and rational just now, but Tao Xiling was too tired to open her eyes.

Also... if she doesn't open her eyes, then she can pretend that she is sleeping.

No matter what the sleeping person does, it is forgivable.

With such despicable thoughts in mind, Tao Xiling didn't care about the tilt of her body, and she could even control the direction of the tilt, so that she leaned to the side.

She closed her eyes, but she was very awake. But at this moment, she could only pretend to be in a daze, to hide her little thought of being inhumane to outsiders.

Tao Xiling knew that it was not good for her to do this, but she continued to do "wrong things" while feeling guilty and conscious.

When she really leaned on Shi Ting's shoulder, Tao Xiling only felt as if her heart was also leaning over. With a slight relief, her whole body relaxed.

Her eyelashes trembled, and when she smelled the fresh fragrance from her clothes, her eyes felt a little hot.

She can only listen in this way when she is close.

After Shi Ting waited for a minute or two, seeing that Tao Xiling had not woken up, she slowly relaxed her body and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just... very nervous! After all, it is the first time qwq that someone who is liked leans on the shoulder or something.

At this moment, I'm not afraid that her arms will be numb, she just wants to get more and more, after all, the opportunity to get close to the person she likes is rare, so what's the matter.

And... Tao Xiling may not feel very well at the moment, if she can feel better with her pillow, not to mention the numbness of her arm, even if her arm is broken, she feels that she is fine.

There was no sound in the car at this time, except for the slight movement of the vehicle.

Shi Ting sat in the back, next to the person he liked.

She looked at Tao Xiling carefully, and saw the profile of the other party's face, as well as the long eyelashes.

Shi Ting paused for a while, but after all, she couldn't hold back, she carefully stretched out her fingertips and touched Tao Xiling's cheek.

At first, Tao Xiling thought the touch on her face was an illusion and she had imagined it herself, but then she gradually discovered that it seemed to be true.

Because the fingertips turned into the backs of her hands, they slowly and carefully attached to her cheeks, rubbing gently with love and distress.

Tao Xiling's heart beat heavily.

A person's words, actions, eyes are all possible to express love.

Tao Xiling wasn't sure if it was because she was thinking too much that caused her feelings to become unbalanced, but now she was lying here with her eyes closed, and when she felt Shi Ting's movements, Tao Xiling always had an illusion that the other party also liked her.

It seems that it is not her unrequited love and secret love.

It seemed that Shi Ting also had the same thoughts as hers.

Tao Xiling squeezed gently with her fingers hidden in her sleeve, and even her breathing changed.

Will it be so? Or is it all just her own delusion.

At the end of the three-hour drive, they got off the bus at a hospital in the county seat of D City.

Shi Ting helped Tao Xiling take out the suitcase, and was a little unsure whether she should follow. Although she really wanted to help, she was an outsider anyway, so would it be inappropriate.

Fortunately, Tao Xiling looked back, "Do you... want a piece?"

Tao Xiling was also a little hesitant during the questioning, because she was only afraid that her inquiry would make Shi Ting tangled, and she was even more afraid that the other party would find it troublesome, but on the other hand, Tao Xiling felt that Shi Ting might need to ask her.

Shi heard the words and nodded immediately, "I'll go take a look with you."

Because she had already made up her mind that she would stay here for a day or two anyway, Shi Ting explained to the driver, "Go back first, I may have to live here."

The driver nodded, "then be careful, call me when you go back."

Shi Ting nodded, "It's hard work."

The hospital in the small county town is not big, but there are many people coming and going. Shi Ting was afraid of getting separated from Tao Xiling, so he held each other's hand.

Tao Xiling called to confirm the location of the hospital bed.

Shi Ting looked at the people coming and going in the hall, and the tip of her nose smelled the smell of disinfectant... To be honest, she didn't like it very much.

But no one likes hospitals.

Except for the birth of a newborn, it is better not to come to the hospital if you can. Because once it comes, it means sickness.

When Tao Xiling led her to the ward, she said softly, "Do you feel uncomfortable? If you don't, you should wait for me outside first?"

Shi Ting hurriedly said: "No, no, how can it be." She is not a real little fairy, how could she not be able to adapt to these things.

Hearing this, Tao Xiling slightly curved the corners of her lips and shook the hand she was listening to.

After the whole journey, her emotions have been digested a lot, and now she is not as fragile and sad as at the beginning.

The two stopped outside the ward.

It was a little tangled at the moment, she whispered: "You go in, I, I will sit outside and wait for you."

Tao Xiling didn't struggle or insist, she nodded, "Okay."

After seeing Tao Xiling walk in, Shi Ting sat next to him.

But she didn't stop while sitting, still paying attention to the movement in the ward. After a while, Shi Ting changed her seat, just so she could see the situation in the ward with the door open.

The ward here is a three-person room, and Tao Xiling's father happens to be in the innermost place. They can see their situation from listening to here, but they can't notice it here.

There was a woman and a man in front of the hospital bed, probably Tao Xiling's mother and the sixth uncle who brought them here.

Tao Xiling's mother already had a lot of white hair in her hair. She looked a little tired and old, but it didn't make people feel weak.

Because there are few people in the room and the voices are not noisy, they can just hear their voices when they speak.

Mother Tao said, "Xiao Ling, you are here."

Tao Xiling sat down beside her and looked at her father's condition worriedly, "How is it? What did the doctor say?"

Mother Tao touched her tears, "I don't quite understand either, but I guess it's going to be an operation, and she also said that she needs to install a steel plate or something. I don't really understand either, but it sounds like it hurts, and it costs money. Ling, you, what do you think we can do, how can our family have so much money?"

Tao Xiling asked softly, "How much does it cost in total, how much is it?"

Mother Tao said: "I didn't ask the specifics, I'm too messy..."

Sixth Uncle said: "I asked before, the surgery is not too expensive, it costs a few thousand dollars, but the cost of the steel plate and the follow-up medication will be paid separately, and the hospitalization fee will also be calculated separately. ."

Mother Tao: "That's right, your sixth uncle paid for the emergency room and hospitalization expenses today."

Tao Xiling said, "Wait, I'll give it to Uncle Six."

"Don't worry, Xiaoling, you have to help your mother after you come here. She doesn't understand anything, so you have to take care of it."

Tao Xiling nodded, "Uncle Six, don't worry."

The sixth uncle didn't stay here much, and left after a while.

When he heard him come out of the ward, he quickly pulled a suitcase and put it in front of him to block his guilty conscience. Although... she didn't know why she felt guilty.

From what I heard just now, Shi Ting estimated that the situation of Tao Xiling's father should not be very serious, but because it was the first time such a thing happened in their family, and the accident was still the mainstay, and only Tao Xiling's mother was left. Not much is known, so there is a lot of panic.

But as long as you find a good hospital and the money keeps up, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Shi Ting calculated it in his heart, then took out his mobile phone and looked at his deposit, it should be enough.

Tao Xiling brought a glass of water to her mother, "I'll wait and ask the doctor, Mom, rest for now."

Mother Tao took the water, "Hey... what can I do? Your father is down. How can this family live?"

Tao Xiling comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I'll find a way."

Mother Tao stopped for a while, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I heard your sixth uncle say that we have a new rural cooperative medical system now, which seems to be able to reimburse medical expenses? Mom doesn't understand this, you can ask this when the time comes. , saving a little is a little."

Tao Xiling responded.

She also heard this when she was sitting outside. She thought about it and wanted to take out her mobile phone to ask about it, but then she felt that her intelligence quotient, what if she couldn't do it well? Anyway, she should be able to contact someone at home, so she can directly find someone to help with it.

It's just... to ask my parents for help.

But that's a lot less difficult than asking for money.

Shi Ting held the phone, apologized silently in her heart, and then sent a WeChat message to ask her mother.

As she returned the message, she paid attention to what was going on inside.

Tao Xiling asked, "Where's Xiaofei?"

Tao's mother: "Ah, he is still in class at school. Mom was afraid of delaying his studies, so she didn't ask him to come over. Besides, what kind of help can a high school kid like him be able to do, coming here would add trouble."

Tao Xiling pulled the corners of her lips noncommittally, with a trace of fatigue in her eyebrows, and said nothing.

But when she heard this outside, she was very angry, and at that moment she even suspected that she had heard it wrong.

What is the reason for this? ? ?

Xiaofei, it should be Tao Xiling's younger brother. He also goes to school and asks for leave. Why is his younger brother delaying his studies and not his elder sister? And Tao Xiling still rushed over from City A, isn't her hard work worth mentioning?

Of course, perhaps Tao Xiling's younger brother was at a critical moment like the third year of high school, and perhaps Tao Xiling was relatively relaxed when he was a freshman, but when he was protecting the calf, it seemed that even this would not work. Isn't this blatant partiality?

And as a boy, can't I run errands? No matter how stable and mature Tao Xiling is, she is still a girl at school. How can she be so powerful?

I can't bear to hear this.

She couldn't stand others favoring others and ignoring Tao Xiling, and even asked Tao Xiling to pay for it.

But now it was Tao Xiling's mother who did this. Even if Shi Ting was angry again, she couldn't do anything. So she had to bite her lower lip and get angry with herself.

After a while, Tao Xiling walked out of the ward.

Shi Ting quickly stood up and greeted him.

Facing Shi Ting, Tao Xiling gave him a light smile, "It's been hard work, I'll take you out to eat."

Shi Ting shook her head, "It's alright, I'm not hungry." She looked at Tao Xiling worriedly, but hesitated.

Tao Xiling said: "It won't be a big deal, I'll ask the doctor later." This was the words that she heard to comfort Tao Xiling before, but now it is used by the other party to comfort her.

But this is not what Shi Ting is worried about, but now she can't ask what she is worried about... Because Shi Ting doesn't want to make Tao Xiling sad again.

Even if Tao Xiling didn't show it on the surface. But to be treated with such partiality, no one will feel bad.

So Shi Ting changed the subject, "By the way, what about medical expenses and surgery expenses?"

Tao Xiling talked about the new rural cooperative medical system. But these are also the first contacts for her. She has been immersed in her studies in the past time, and she has not cared about them.

In fact, Tao Xiling also regretted it a little bit. If she could care more about these things, she wouldn't be in the dark now.

"It's okay, I'll go to some places to ask. Even if you don't understand, just ask more."

Shi Ting followed her out and whispered: "Actually, there are people here who have been in contact with the new rural cooperative medical system before. If you don't mind, I will call that uncle to help you with the procedures? Some."

Tao Xiling raised her eyes and looked over, the emotions in her eyes fluctuated a little, "Really? Will it be... will it be too troublesome?"

Shi Ting shook his head quickly, "No, no! He is an acquaintance with our family."

Tao Xiling's eyelashes moved.

In fact, she knows that even acquaintances need favors, but at this moment she has no other choice, after all, she really needs this help.

Tao Xiling pinched her palm and whispered, "Thank you."

Shi Ting quickly shook his head.

When the two went out to buy food, Tao Xiling was still a little absent-minded, and Shi Ting didn't know whether she was worried about her father's condition or because of what happened in the ward today.

Shi Ting wanted to ask some questions, but was afraid that this would touch on Tao Xiling's sadness, but held back...

Well, she admitted that she felt a little uncomfortable, because she couldn't stand Tao Xiling being bullied like this.

Shi Ting said, "You said before that you have a younger brother?"

Tao Xiling regained her senses and nodded, "I'm two years younger than me, and I'm now in my second year of high school."

Shi Ting nodded, and after a while he whispered, "I'm two years younger than you, so I'm an adult... Why didn't he come?"

Tao Xiling paused for a while, then raised her eyes to look at Shi and listened.

When I listened to it for a while, I almost thought that my mind had been discovered.

But in fact, she is not afraid that her partiality and resentment will be discovered by Tao Xiling. She is just a little guilty of "eavesdropping", which will be known by Tao Xiling.

But before she could hear anything, Tao Xiling withdrew her gaze again. Her voice was calm and did not reveal any other emotion.

"Well, he is busy with his studies and can't make it."

When listening:…

Damn, she was so angry when she heard this again!

So she puffed out her cheeks and couldn't help but say, "Then you're not busy with your studies? Why do you want to take so many days off to work as a nurse."

She knew that she shouldn't exude such emotions to Tao Xiling, but she couldn't help it.

She was impatient and impatient like an injured cub, as if she could only relieve her pain in this way.

Tao Xiling didn't seem to expect Shi Hearing to say such words, and couldn't help but stunned.

"I..." She pursed her lips, retracted her gaze, and replied after a while, "It's still different after all."

However, what was different, she did not say.

Shi Ting looked at her, not knowing whether to continue.

She lowered her head sadly.

Tao Xiling's heart softened a bit when she saw her in such a state.

She knew that Shi Ting was upset and wronged for herself, but Tao Xiling no longer had such emotions, and instead was calm and indifferent.

But no matter what, she was still very happy when she saw this way of defending herself.

Tao Xiling's eyes moved, and she could clearly feel her heart beating again and again.

She paused, then said, "I haven't been upset or sad about it either, so that's okay."

So you don't need to be sad either.

But Shi Ting was not comforted.

In her opinion, Tao Xiling is so good, why should she suffer such grievances? And... Shi Ting thought of Tao Xiling's mother wanting to save money to buy a house for Tao Xiling's younger brother, but she refused to build a house for Tao Xiling.

So this feeling is even heavier.

For some reason, she suddenly felt that her nose was a little blocked.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged. This was the first time she was so wronged, and it was also the first time she was so wronged for others.

So Shi Ting simply stopped.

"But I will feel sad." Her voice was a little hoarse and crying.

Tao Xiling's eyes widened suddenly, not because of her own words, but because of her current state.

Tao Xiling, who was still calm and calm, was now a little more flustered. She reached out her hand subconsciously, but stopped in the middle.

"You..." Tao Xiling stumbled.

"It's really okay, I-I didn't look away, I just thought about it. If there is no expectation, there is no sadness. That's why I can be so calm."

"I'm not afraid that you will think that I am indifferent, I just think that I will try my best to repay the kindness of my parents. After that, I will not care about everything about them. It is my responsibility to honor them, but I will not take it as my heart. You have to do things to push yourself. So I won't be sad, and neither will you..."

She softened her voice, "Don't be sad, okay?"

"What's more, the sustenance in my heart is not them anymore."

If she put her parents in her heart, she would definitely feel sad and resentful because of their attitude, but now that's not the case, they are no longer in Tao Xiling's heart.

There is another person living on the tip of her heart now.

A little girl who also loves her, has some squeamish and childish, but very cute little girls.

Shi Ting sniffed and looked up at her, "Really?"

Tao Xiling nodded, "Probably like... treating scumbags?" She made a joke at the right time.

"In my heart, they are my relatives, but they are only relatives. I don't know if you can understand that." Tao Xiling frowned slightly in distress.

When she heard it, she seemed to understand, "I seem to understand, but, but you are so anxious for them, I think..." So she would feel that Tao Xiling would still be sad about it.

Tao Xiling said softly, "I'm just worried."

"but if…"
