Chapter 65.
The free time in the afternoon was always fleeting. Tangli took the dessert and closed the taxi door. She had just said goodbye to her friends not long ago. After making plans for the future, Tangli got into the taxi and prepared to go to the hospital. When she saw a dessert shop, Tangli went there and queued up by mistake. When the clerk asked her about the dessert she wanted to buy, Tangli suddenly realized what she had done.
She looked down at the cutely packaged dessert box in her hand and complained, "I'm really scared of this honey trap."
This woman, Shen Zhaozhao, always makes Tangli do unexpected things.
Just like the queue to buy desserts just now, Tangli would not be able to endure the long queue. Usually when she sees the long queue in front of the store, Tangli will just avoid it and will never be able to get in line with others.
But Tangli remembered the way Shen Zhaozhao shook her arms and acted coquettishly yesterday. Her watery eyes were shy and timid. She said, "Xiaoli can bring a black forest cake when she comes to see me tomorrow! I watched it on TV yesterday. Shop tour video, I'm so greedy, I really want to eat it!"
Well, Tang Li admitted that she breached the contract because she failed to come to the hospital to visit Shen Zhaozhao in the morning. Her friends blocked her door at six or seven o'clock, and she had to stay at home to discuss the development of the studio with her friends, so the visiting time was turned from morning into afternoon.
In this way, the dessert in her hand was not bought specifically for the heroine Shen Zhaozhao, but to apologize!
Tangli believed that this reason could persuade her to face the strange behavior before. After solving the problem, Tangli became calm again.
She was leisurely and contented, with a smile on her face, causing the little girl waiting for the elevator to look up at Tangli from time to time. The little girl's mother smiled lovingly and asked, "What are you looking at, baby?"
"Mom, that big sister walking forward is so beautiful."
"The baby is also very cute."
The little girl hugged her mother's legs tightly, and her laughter was as clear as a silver bell.
Tangli walked to a ward with familiarity. She opened the door and walked in, leaving the nurse on duty at the nursing station with her beautiful figure.
"If I hadn't known in advance that they didn't know each other, I would have really thought that Miss Tang was Miss Shen's girlfriend! Look at how considerate she is, how beautiful she is, and how good-tempered she is. I want to get to know her."
The nurse next to her couldn't help but teased: "In my opinion, according to the current development trend, it is very likely that they will be together in the future."
"Now that Miss Shen has not recovered her memory, Miss Tang can still accommodate her. What if she recovers her memory and Miss Shen is scared away by what she did and is embarrassed to see Miss Tang?"
The nurse who spoke first scratched her face and said hesitantly: "No... right?"
At this time, another nurse spoke. She held the ballpoint pen in her breast pocket and said with an incomprehensible face: "Some people, having a good temper doesn't mean anything. Maybe you will think that this person is particularly good, but in fact, people with this kind of personality are likely to be cold-hearted. The gentler the smile of this kind of woman, the more terrifying she is. She is a smart hunter, and the prey is brought to her mouth. How can she let the prey run away?"
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm getting goosebumps when you say that!"
The nurse spread her hands to express her helplessness and said, "It's just a personal guess, but it's not true."
After chatting with her colleagues for a while, she went to get busy with other things. When passing by Shen Zhaozhao's ward, the nurse couldn't help but look at the door.
She didn't lie, because the nurse accidentally saw another side of Tang Li, and the nurse completely understood that Tang Li's cruelty was hidden in her smile.
Tangli received a phone call that day, and it was related to trivial matters at home. She has stopped getting involved in their affairs since she left her original family, but this time her father was seriously ill and was admitted to the hospital, and the person who called her was her father's wife, who he married, Tangli was leaning against the wall with a happy expression. She said softly: "Is he hospitalized? Is he sick? Oh, I thought he was dead a long time ago. Ms. Liu, I hope when I receive your call next time I can hear about his death."
Tangli's face remained unchanged, and she whispered words that were seriously inconsistent with her image. She was obviously a delicate rose, but she suddenly turned into a piranha.
This made the nurse who eavesdropped on the whole process refresh her understanding of Tangli.
This is not an intellectual big sister, she is just a piranha, the kind with thorns, which is particularly difficult to mess with!
The nurse was embarrassed to tell others about Tangli's privacy, mainly because she couldn't say that she had eavesdropped on her, so she could only be tactful, like she did just now.
The door of the ward blocked the connection between the outside and the inside. Tangli could not hear or see the nurses' discussions about her and Shen Zhaozhao.
Tangli placed the dessert on the bedside table, pulled up a chair and sat beside Shen Zhaozhao's bed.
She smiled and looked at Shen Zhaozhao, who was staring at the TV and ignoring her, and said: "I have to be busy too. It's wrong of me to let you go, but didn't I send you a message this morning? It's been so long and you're still angry."
Shen Zhaozhao sighed and was immersed in her own world. She said: "I understand that you are venting your anger on me and blaming me for not remembering your name, but I was in a car accident and I am a patient. You can't argue with the patient. Although you got a very disappointing answer that day, but I have never forgotten the love between us! Xiaoli, you let me go this morning. I think this can offset the fact that I forgot your name. What do you think?"
At the end of her sentence, she turned around and stared at Tangli. Her sparkling eyes were full of brilliance, making people unable to resist her charm. Under Shen Zhaozhao's eye attack, no one could refuse her.
Tang Li knew clearly that Shen Zhaozhao was cheating, so what could she do?
Of course she agreed to her.
It's a small request and there's no reason to refuse her.
It's normal for Shen Zhaozhao not to remember her own name. After all, the two of them didn't exchange their names at first.
On the day she was broken up by Shen Zhaozhao, Tangli asked about the name.
At that time, Tangli was on tenterhooks, fearing that her name and relationship history would be changed by Shen Zhaozhao, but in her confused eyes, Tangli understood and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she didn't give herself another number, otherwise she would have to contact her with that number all day long.
So Tang Li was not disappointed at all, but Shen Zhaozhao had a wild imagination and thought that Tang Li's expression of surviving a disaster was a bitter smile that only appeared when she was disappointed.
Tang Li nodded helplessly and responded: "Okay, okay, we've offset it."
"Xiaoli, you are so kind!"
Tangli, who often gets the good guy card, was extremely calm. She pointed to the Black Forest cake on the bedside table and said, "Eat it. I waited in line for fifteen minutes to buy it."
Shen Zhaozhao clasped her hands together and quickly thanked: "Xiaoli, you are really the best ex-girlfriend in the world!"
Tangli raised her eyebrows slightly. Come on, now her identity has evolved into that of her ex-girlfriend.
Friends, let's just go with her, I'll take over the cheating myself, and I won't be short of the title of ex-girlfriend.
She looked at Shen Zhaozhao wordlessly, acting as Shen Zhaozhao's listener.
Shen Zhaozhao didn't finish the piece of black forest cake. She put it on the bedside table again and said in confusion: "You talk so little today. Is there anything on your mind?"
Tang Li kept putting her hands in her pockets and looked at Shen Zhaozhao with relaxed eyebrows.
No wonder mukbang has been popular for so many years. She got the answer from Shen Zhaozhao.
Today is Shen Zhaozhao's seventh day in the hospital. Tangli can't always be the kind and good person Dr. Zhang calls her. She has her own career to be busy with, not to mention the plot. It's unreasonable for a supporting actress to have a lot of intersection with the heroine.
Obviously, the current plot is in chaos. A major accident like the heroine's appearance should be recorded in the plot, but Tangli has not found it in the world plot at all. This fully shows that there are loopholes in this different world.
This kind of loophole is controlled by the little heaven in another world, and has nothing to do with her as a tasker. There may be some bugs or other factors hidden in this, but these repairs have nothing to do with Tang Li. She doesn't care. She just needs to act as an assist tool to promote the relationship between the hero and heroine.
After this, the specific matters need to be contacted by the minister and asked to convey the current situation of the plot disorder to Xiao Tiandao.
After all this is dealt with, maybe the next time they meet is when Shen Zhaozhao regains her memory, and Tangli is the person standing on the opposite side of her.
Tangli had asked 001 to send a message to the minister before, and believed that this big bug would be fixed soon.
Faced with Shen Zhaozhao's concern, Tangli smiled lightly and said, "Shen Zhaozhao."
"Huh?" She seemed to be in a good mood after just eating dessert, and the smile on her lips never fell.
She said: "I need to be busy with my friends in the studio these days. You should be able to stay in the hospital alone."
Shen Zhaozhao's smile stiffened for a moment but soon she smiled again, sweeter than her previous smile. She seemed to be very dissatisfied with Tangli. She always felt that Tangli looked down on her, so she said arrogantly: "Of course, I have troubled you enough these past few days. If I had not followed the doctor's advice, I would have wanted to be discharged from the hospital. You don't have to worry about me anymore, just go and do your work."
Her acting skills were not superb and were at the level of a beginner, so Tang Li could easily spot Shen Zhaozhao's disguise.
But Tang Li was not as soft-hearted as usual this time. She looked away and forced herself not to be moved by Shen Zhaozhao. The current separation was by far the best solution for the two of them.
Since what needs to be said has been said, there is no need for Tangli to stay here any longer.
She gathered her jacket and said, "Then I'll leave first. If you need anything, remember to call me."
Tang Li left without stopping, her back still looked as familiar as Shen Zhaozhao remembered it, her black hair hung down to her waist, and her every move was so gentle and elegant.
However, Shen Zhaozhao could see her indifference and coldness, because the way she looked at her was no longer as gentle and indulgent as before.
Tang Li is a very scary person. She can easily withdraw her kindness, push Shen Zhaozhao back to her original position, and let the two of them return to their respective places.
Shen Zhaozhao couldn't help but call: "Tangli!"
Tangli was turning the doorknob. She stopped and waited for Shen Zhaozhao's next words.
Shen Zhaozhao's eyes turned red and he said harshly: "I will pay you back all the expenses I spent during the hospital stay. Please send me the bill as soon as possible. If I don't pay this money back to you, I may become a top-notch ex-girlfriend."
Tangli opened the door and tilted her head to reveal only the profile of her face. Her thick eyelashes were drooped. In the light, her outline was so picturesque that even a painter could not describe her unique temperament.
She said: "Okay, I will listen to you."
Shen Zhaozhao bit her lip, only in this way she would not curse out loud.
Listen to me? Now you are very obedient and do as I say. Then why can't you see that everything I tell you is ironic?
I feel very lonely when I am alone in the hospital. In fact, I really don't want you to be busy with work. I just want you to stay with me, like we did a few days ago. We can watch movies together at night. I am fascinated by the scary scenes in ghost movies. I screamed in fright, but you looked at me helplessly and smiled, comforting me and saying it was all fake, don't be afraid.
Tangli, why did you leave just as you said you would?
Shen Zhaozhao wanted to tell Tang Li these inner thoughts, but she knew that she was not qualified to let Tang Li stay by her side.
After all, they both broke up, right?
Her companionship these days has been extremely kind and righteous.
Tangli slowly closed the door and let out her frustration.
She felt depressed and uncomfortable, as if a sawdust was stuck in her finger. The wound was very small and could be healed by pulling it out. However, the stinging pain when her finger was injured by the sawdust made it difficult for Tangli to remove the sawdust.
She thought she could say goodbye to Shen Zhaozhao easily, but she didn't know that Shen Zhaozhao was just like sawdust. It looked harmless but was actually very sharp.
"Miss Tang?"
"Nurse Guo."
The woman's call allowed Tangli to temporarily escape the pain caused by Shen Zhaozhao. Nurse Guo asked, "Why don't you go in? What are you doing standing outside."
Nurse Guo was the nurse who entered the ward with Dr. Zhang to inquire about Shen Zhaozhao's condition. Because of her lively and cheerful personality, she quickly became familiar with Shen Zhaozhao.
Tang Li smiled lightly and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't stay in the hospital today."
Nurse Guo was quite surprised. She was about to ask her what Shen Zhaozhao should do, but suddenly she remembered that Tangli and Shen Zhaozhao were just strangers. If it hadn't been for the car accident, the two of them would not have gotten along with each other these days.
Nurse Guo swallowed back what she wanted to ask and said, "I am on night shift today, and I will visit the patients in the ward a few more times at night."
"Then I will trouble you more in the future."
"In the future? Miss Tang doesn't plan to come?"
Tang Li explained helplessly: "The plan has changed. I'm going to get busy at work. Now that Shen Zhaozhao's condition is stable, it's time for me, her ex-girlfriend, who has been dumped by her, to disappear."
Nurse Guo's mood was a little complicated, and she couldn't express her emotions. She knew that Tang Li's choice was reasonable and correct, but thinking of the beautiful woman on the hospital bed, Nurse Guo couldn't help but feel a little affection for her.
After being hospitalized for so many days, it was as if her parents didn't exist. Although the hospitalization expenses were returned to Ms. Tang, their daughter is still in the hospital. What kind of business can make them unable to take care of their daughter.
She could still have Miss Tang accompany me before, but what should Miss Shen do in the future?
Tangli and the nurse just nodded. After finishing her explanation, she nodded and passed by the nurse.
The nurse sighed melancholy, probably because she had seen them get along in the past few days and felt that they were really compatible. Now Tangli's departure also made the nurse break the "couple" filter and return to reality.
"Why can't you really be together?" She whispered to herself, without expecting a response.
Tangli took the elevator and left. The mobile phone in her bag also rang. As the elevator door opened, she blended into the crowd and began to be busy with her own life.
Before getting into the taxi, Tangli subconsciously looked up in the direction of the hospital.
She shouldn't be crying.
Forget it, what's the use of thinking about this, I can't coax her.
Tangli put these thoughts behind her and got into a taxi with determination.
After leaving this time, she will never come back.
Shen Zhaozhao didn't cry. The two of them had broken up. It was not easy to live in peace to this day. She couldn't convince herself to forget the scene of Tangli and the man holding hands. Then this thorn would always be stuck in Shen Zhaozhao's heart, if she can't accept it, then she might as well let Tangli go free.
Shen Zhaozhao was lying on the bed calming down her emotions, her eyes no longer red. She was staring at the ceiling in a daze, not thinking about anything else, because she only had Tangli in her mind right now.
"It's good to be separated. We don't have to torture each other anymore."
"Don't cry, this is a good thing!"
"Both she and I can get better and better."
Shen Zhaozhao hypnotized himself and felt that her mood had stabilized.
But when she saw the dessert box on the bedside table, her eyes seemed to burst into tears and she couldn't stop them.
"What a nuisance! You came to see me today just to say goodbye to me. Why did you buy me desserts? Didn't you deliberately tease me? Bad woman!"
Shen Zhaozhao wiped her tears as she sobbed and said, "It would be great if you didn't hold the man's hand."
But there is no such thing as if.
She was depressed and buried herself in the quilt.
The meal in the evening was brought to her by the nurse. She was a middle-aged woman with fair skin. When she saw Shen Zhaozhao's red and swollen eyes, she knew it and didn't ask any more questions. She just said: "Everything I cook for you today is what you like to eat, Miss Shen Zhaozhao, please get up and have a taste."
"Yeah, thank you."
"You're welcome, that's what I do."
The nurse was found by Tang Li in the hospital. She could usually be seen at this time, but surprisingly she did not appear today.
The nurse was thoughtful, and then thinking about Shen Zhaozhao's eyes, she seemed to understand something.
"Miss Shen, put the dishes and chopsticks on the table. I'll come over and collect them later."
"Can you eat with me?" Shen Zhaozhao smiled bitterly. She poked the rice with her chopsticks and said, "It's a bit boring to be alone."
"OK."
Tangli had warned the nurse before, so she would avoid some topics.
The two of them chatted, and Shen Zhaozhao's condition improved.
The nurse is more talkative than Tang Li, and what she says can make Shen Zhaozhao smile.
But Shen Zhaozhao understood that the sense of security she gained from Tangli was unmatched by anyone else.
Others are just other people, but Tangli will always be Tangli, and she is different.
The night was quiet and dark.
On this night, two people fell asleep in a tacit understanding.
They looked at the moon outside the window, thinking about each other in their hearts.
I don't know if she is okay.
This is the same idea between the two.
This night, the moon is their companion.
*
A black car parked in the parking lot of the hospital. A middle-aged woman with permed curly hair and slightly plump figure got out of the car first. She cursed at the man in the car: "I told you to come back quickly, it's your daughter's hospitalization, not like someone else's daughter's hospitalization. It's better for you, you are busy with your bullshit business all day long, you don't make a few cents, and you have a pretty high profile, which makes me wait for you for so many days."
Father Shen looked around. Being scolded by his wife was a very embarrassing thing for him, but his wife was hot-tempered and irritable. He could bear it as long as he could. If he retorted, she would probably come up and scratch his face.
Father Shen gave up and said with a naive smile: "Since Zhaozhao is fine, I can just relax and talk about business. Wife, you haven't come to see Zhaozhao in the past few days. This child won't be angry with us, right?"
Mother Shen raised her eyebrows confidently, pointed to her little finger, and said: "You and Zhao Zhao only have such a small status in the family. How could my daughter dare to be angry with me? I am also very worried if something happens to her, but Madam Yang asked me to accompany her to prepare for the party, but I couldn't leave for a while. There are many benefits brought by climbing up to Madam Yang. My daughter should be able to understand me. As long as Madam Yang supports me, we will become rich by then, it's definitely not a dream."
The two of them sang together, not knowing whether they were comforting themselves or showing off to each other their achievements in the past few days. As for the poor daughter, she doesn't seem that important. At least they can't rush to the hospital immediately, which already explains some problems.
Mother Shen was carrying the brand-name bag she had just bought. It was given to her by Mrs. Yang, and she was very proud of it.
This woman's eyes and brows all show a bad look.
At this point, her eyes are too shrewd, which makes people dislike her.
Mother Shen and Father Shen opened their mouths and asked about the location of Shen Zhaozhao's ward. Under Nurse Guo's hesitant gaze, Mother Shen opened the door and said kindly: "Zhaozhao, your father and I are here to visit you."
Shen Zhaozhao was looking down at her mobile phone. The previous mobile phone had been scrapped in the car accident. This one was bought for her by Tang Li. It was the same model as Tang Li's mobile phone, but the color was different.
At first, Shen Zhaozhao was secretly happy, thinking it was a couple style, but when she thought about the awkward relationship between the two, she suddenly stopped smiling.
She held the phone tightly, looked at Shen's mother and Shen's father warily with her beautiful eyes, and asked in shock: "What did you say?"
"Zhaozhao, you kid, you have to ask your mother to repeat it to you? I said your father and I came to see you."
Shen Zhaozhao took a breath of cold air and quickly looked at the sky outside. Fortunately, it was broad daylight. She said sarcastically: "Auntie, you got the wrong person. My parents have been dead for many years."
Father Shen: "..."
Mother Shen: "..."
Nurse Guo pinched her palms hard to prevent herself from laughing.
No, I need to be professional! Can't laugh! Otherwise, you will be complained!
"You kid, are you hoping that we will die so that you can inherit the family property?"
Shen's mother is a fierce and unruly woman. She is an ancestor in the family. Her husband and daughter all obey her and treat her like an empress.
Now that Shen Zhaozhao dared to disobey her, in the eyes of Shen's mother, it was a treasonous crime worthy of death!
She yelled and cursed, no matter what, her daughter and husband were her punching bags anyway.
Father Shen shrank his neck and did not stop her. He was even afraid that it would affect him. Father Shen also made a poor excuse to go out to smoke.
Nurse Guo was dumbfounded by this.
Shen Zhaozhao no longer has these parents in her memory, and naturally there will be no fear and panic as before. After being scolded by Shen's mother, Shen Zhaozhao retorted unconvincingly with red eyes.
When Shen's mother saw this, she was so angry that she pointed at her with trembling fingers and said, "Well, Shen Zhaozhao, your wings are hard now, aren't you! Let's see how I teach you a lesson."
Nurse Guo did not dare to watch any longer, so she immediately stepped forward to stop her and blocked Mother Shen's arm, fearing that Mother Shen would slap Shen Zhaozhao in the face.
"You...you actually want to hit me!"
"Just wait, I'm looking for someone! My parents have been dead for many years, and you want to lie to me without investigating clearly. Do you think you can just lie to me because I've been hit in the head!? What a beautiful thought, my parents are gone, don't think I'm easy to bully, my ex-girlfriend is a bully!"
Shen Zhaozhao was frightened by Shen's mother's ferocity. Looking at her left leg covered in plaster, she only regretted that she couldn't get off the ground, otherwise she would have to beat this crazy woman away.
So, look for Tangli!
What's wrong with her being an ex-girlfriend? No one stipulates that you can't go to your ex-girlfriend to solve problems.
"Hey, Tangli, come to the hospital and save me. There is a crazy woman who wants to beat me. She keeps saying she is my mother, but my mother is long gone. She must be a liar. By the way, there is another man looks wretched and short and fat. You must bring a few more people with you when you come."
Shen Zhaozhao warned Tang Li thoughtfully, glaring fiercely at Shen's mother who was about to burst into flames.
Tangli laughed out loud in front of her friends after receiving the call.
She held her forehead and said, "Okay, I'll go to the hospital right away."
"Then you have to come quickly."
"Um."
