NovelEnglish134 134 Pretending to be pitiful
Tan Rou saw Tao Qi’s 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 Qi’s heart earlier and had a good talk with him earlier, perhaps Tao Qi wouldn’t have been used so badly by Tan Jing.
No, not necessarily. Looking at Tao Qi’s reaction now, he was about to see the truth. This time, he definitely wouldn’t be so stupid as to be used by Tan Jing to fight her. She definitely wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen again!
Tao Qi finally digested Tan Rou’s words and said thoughtfully, “Believe in myself? But, I can’t see anything clearly.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTan Rou was helpless. She couldn’t control Tao Qi’s 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. “Don’t worry about it. I won’t stop you from meeting Tan Jing. If you still think she’s good and you’re willing to protect her, then I have nothing to say.”
Tao Qi pursed his lips and looked at Tan Rou suspiciously. “Really? Even if I didn’t choose you in the end, wouldn’t you be angry?”
Tan Rou’s expression was aggrieved and her eyes were full of disappointment. “I won’t be angry, but I’ll be very sad.
Tao Qi looked at Tan Rou’s aggrieved expression and didn’t know what to do. Tao Qi often saw this kind of expression on Sister Jingjing’s 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 Rou’s 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 Rou’s acting addiction revealed itself. As if she was really hurt by Tao Qi’s words, she frowned slightly and pouted, as if she was about to cry the next second.
This immediately triggered Tao Qi’s protective desire as a little man. Although he didn’t 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, he’s a little man now. They all needed his help.
Tao Qi pretended to be mature and tiptoed to pat Tan Rou. “Well, don’t cry. I haven’t chosen Sister Jingjing yet, so you still have a chance. Don’t be sad! Just continue to work hard!”
Tao Qi tried to comfort Tan Rou the same way he did to Tan Jing. He thought, ‘So, Tan Rou would cry too. Girls are just as hard to please. Did I go too far?’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTan Rou couldn’t 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 didn’t want him to see it, so he hurriedly comforted her, “Don’t cry, I was wrong, okay? What are you doing, big sister? I already called you sister! Please stop crying!”
Little did he know that Tan Rou had hidden her face so that she wouldn’t laugh in front of Tao Qi.
Listening to Tao Qi’s mischievous words, Tan Rou couldn’t 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 Qi’s face was bitter. He didn’t 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 didn’t expect him to react like this. He actually comforted her like a little adult. So, Tao Qi was afraid of girls crying?
Tan Rou couldn’t 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 didn’t expect it to be so useful, especially in front of Tao Qi. It could be said that Tan Rou had grasped Tao Qi’s 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.
