After being read she became a full-time daughter: Chapter 12

  ”Why are you here?” Tan Li raised her head slightly and looked at the person who came curiously.

  The man she had met on the top floor of the hospital that day was silent for a long time before he said, “Take a walk.”

  Tan Li glanced at his electric wheelchair and asked, “Walk to someone else’s house?”

  ”No?” The man looked up at her.

  Tan Li looked at him for a while, then leaned back into her comfortable recliner, “Okay.”

  The man originally thought that Tan Li would ask him “when were you discharged from the hospital” or “do you live nearby”, but he didn’t expect Tan Li to ask nothing and seemed not curious about him at all.

  There was a long silence between the two of them, one in a recliner and the other in an electric wheelchair.

  “Boom, boom.”

  Tan Li knocked on the small table next to him and asked, “Want to eat?”

  The man glanced at the tiramisu on the table and said with disgust, “I don’t want to eat it.”

  ”Oh.” Tan Li took a small bite and swallowed it.

  Very sweet.

  The man looked at her, “…why would you eat if you don’t like it?”

  Tan Li: “One of my goals is to try all the delicious food in the world.”

  ”Oh.” The man’s expression seemed to say that this goal was extremely boring.

  …

  After another moment of silence, the man made small talk, “Why do you dress like this at home?”

  A silver tasseled fitted dress, over-the-knee high-heeled boots, and several layers of bracelets and necklaces.

  Lying here in the sun dressed like this is so dazzling and glaring.

  Tan Li looked at him sideways, “No?”

  Man: “…Okay.”

  Tan Li shrugged, as if mocking the man’s attempt to make small talk.

  The man tried to hold back his words, but couldn’t hold it back any longer. “Your name is Tan Li?”

  ”Yeah.” Tan Li was not at all surprised that he knew her name.

  The man waited for a while, but she didn’t ask him why he knew her name. He clenched his fist unconsciously, and black air began to gurgle out of it. “…I’m leaving.”

  ”Oh.” Tan Li was indifferent.

  …

  The man’s clenched fists slowly loosened, he pulled the corners of his mouth in self-mockery, and reached for the joystick of the electric wheelchair.

  ”Do you still want to die now?” Tan Li looked at the sky and suddenly asked.

  The man’s hand paused in the middle, as if it had been a very long time, “If I want to, will you stop me again?”

  Tan Li thought about it and said, “Yes.”

  ”If I saw it, I would stop you.”

  The man was stunned for a moment, then pulled the corner of his mouth, “When a person really wants to die, you can’t stop him, don’t you know?”

  ”I know.” Tan Li was a little kind, but not much. “But if you didn’t die in front of me, you won’t be a nuisance to me.”

  The man was speechless for a long time.

  The sky gradually darkened and a beautiful glow appeared on the horizon.

  ”My name is…” The man hesitated, “You can call me Ah Heng.”

  Tan Li rolled her eyes at him, as if to say, do you think I want to know?

  Ah Heng saw Tan Li’s expression and grinned, “Aren’t you going to stop me? How can you stop me if you don’t know my name?”

  ”Young man, you are too naive.” Tan Li looked at him as if he were a fool.

  To stop someone from wanting to die, you don’t need to know their name, you just need to move faster than them.

  A gust of wind pressure came.

  Ah Heng’s pupils reflected a hand that suddenly appeared in front of his neck and then suddenly stopped. His breathing, which had been stagnant for a moment, returned to normal.

  Tan Li slowly withdrew her hand and said, “Look.”

  ”Young man, be pragmatic and don’t do anything fancy.”

  When she saves people, her main message is, “I’m stronger than you,” and you won’t be able to take control of your own life.

  Tan Li patted Ah Heng’s head kindly, “Do you understand, you little weakling?”

  I felt it last time, this head feels really good.

  Ah Heng let her touch his head, a strange light flashed in his eyes, “Then let’s try it out, which one is faster, you stopping me, or me seeking death faster.”

  Tan Li: “…Psycho?”

  Ah Heng just grinned, smiling like a villain.

  Tan Li turned Ah Heng’s wheelchair in a different direction and said, “Little brat, go home and have some sleep early.”

  Ah Heng: “I…”

  Before he could even utter the word “no”, Tan Li pressed Ah Heng’s shoulders and asked, “What’s wrong? Do you still want your sister to take you home?”

  ”Hiss——” Ah Heng took a breath with an expressionless face, “Little sister is young and loves to worry about things. Brother is already a grown-up and can take care of himself.”

  As he spoke, he shook the control joystick of the electric wheelchair and said meaningfully, “Sister Tan Li, see you next time.”

  Tan Li: …my hands are itching.

  **

  The next day, Tan Li slept until noon as usual. She stared blankly at the ceiling, which was darker than usual, and heard the sound of raindrops in her ears.

  It looks like there will be no sun exposure today.

  Tan Li thought about the small goals she had set for herself after retirement:

  1. Money can do anything

  2. Wear a different beautiful dress every day

  3. Sleep until you wake up naturally every day

  4. Playing games all day

  5. Taste delicious food from all over the world

  …

  Tan Li staggered out of the bed and decided to play games all day today.

  Throwing the tassel skirt she wore yesterday into the corner of worn clothes, Tan Li changed herself into a white dress she had never worn before, and paired it with strappy high heels of the same color.

  As soon as I went out, I ran into Wu Xiu who had been waiting for me for who knows how long.

  These days, because Tan Pei brought Wu Xiu to the company, Tan Li and Wu Xiu only met at dinner time.

  Wu Xiu looked at her expectantly with her big watery eyes, “Dali, you’ve been staying at home for many days, why don’t you go shopping with your mother today?”

  ”We can also go for a beauty treatment together.”

  ”OK?”

  Tan Li: “…Okay.”

  Thinking of the unlimited black card that allowed her to have enough money to do whatever she wanted, Tan Li finally succumbed to Wu Xiu, her financial sponsor.

  Hearing her reply, Wu Xiu felt greatly relieved.

  She heard from her aunt at home that Tan Li had stayed at home for so many days, basking in the sun and playing with her cell phone every day.

  The first two days were fine. Wu Xiu thought about Tan Li’s sudden change of identity and the need to adapt to a new environment, so it was understandable that she had an escapist mentality and didn’t want to go out.

  But she’s been there for a week!

  For a whole week, she just sat in the sun and played with her phone every day. If she didn’t go out for a walk, she was worried that Tanli would get moldy.

  Now that Tan Li is willing to go out with her, Wu Xiu is so happy.

  The mother and daughter went shopping hand in hand, and Wu Xiu’s eyes brightened when she thought of dressing up her beautiful daughter beautifully.

  Wu Xiu: “Mom has been looking online for some skirts suitable for our Dali area recently. I asked Manager Li to buy some. We can go try them out today…”

  ”No!” Tan Li quickly interrupted this terrible idea, “Mom, I would rather go for a beauty treatment.”

  She quickly proposed options other than buying clothes, “I also want to change the style of my hair and the style of my nails.”

  Wu Xiu seemed to be thinking about something. “Okay, then let’s do this. Mom will ask Manager Li to find a model with a body shape similar to yours. When the time comes, we will ask him to change the model and show you the effect. Then we can decide whether to buy it or not.”

  Tan Li:!

  ”Okay! I think this method is great!”

  Such an excellent way to spend money, why didn’t she know it earlier!

  Tan Li now feels as if she has lost hundreds of millions.

  After lunch, Tan Pei learned that Wu Xiu would take Tan Li to beauty treatments on his rare day off, so he spontaneously offered to be the driver for the mother and daughter.

  Wu Xiu held her beloved husband in one hand and her beloved daughter in the other, and she was doubly happy.

  Tan Li didn’t care at first, but when Tan Pei looked at her calmly for the N-N-Nth time, she was somewhat speechless.

  She turned her head sharply with the tin foil on her dyed hair, “Dad, just say what you want to say.”

  First, she doesn’t have the ability to read minds, and second, she doesn’t want to guess what other people are thinking.

  Tan Pei didn’t seem to expect Tan Li to notice his gaze, so he made up an excuse and asked, “Do you really want to dye your hair this color?”

  Tan Li: “Yeah.”

  Tan Pei: “Pink… isn’t it too frivolous?”

  ”No.” Wu Xiu interrupted, “Dali has fair skin, so pink must look good on her~”

  ”Like a little princess~”

  Tan Li and Wu Xiu smiled at each other, and Tan Pei swallowed what he was about to say.

  Tan Li originally thought that the vague scrutiny would stop there, but after a while, she couldn’t stand it anymore and turned her head again, “Dad, seriously, just say it if you have something to say.”

  Even the worst scouts she had ever met would not pry so blatantly. This kind of look, treating people as mutant experimental subjects, was too blatant.

  Tan Li smiled gently, “Is there anything that can’t be said directly between us as father and daughter?”

  Not to mention the 100,000 yuan pocket money, why would she, who loves peace so much, bother with Tan Pei?

  so……

  If you have something to say, just say it! Don’t dither!

  The smile on Tan Pei’s face was much more natural than Tan Li’s. “Dad has never seen pink hair before. It’s a bit novel.”

  Seeing that Tan Pei was not telling the truth, Tan Li thought seriously about it. Did she reveal any inhuman power in front of Tan Pei? Why did he look at her like a suspicious person whose safety was uncertain instead of his lost daughter?

  Tan Li thought about it seriously for 3 seconds, and gave up thinking at the 4th second.

  Thinking = Efforts.

  It’s impossible to make do, not in this lifetime.

  Tan Li slumped in the chair, calmly ignoring Tan Pei’s inquiring gaze.

  Oops! It’s just a little bit of exploration. Compared with the way I used to look at monsters and mortal enemies, it’s just a little bit of water~

  Wu Xiu didn’t notice the eye contact between the father and daughter. She was helping Tan Li pick out a nice manicure style.

  If it were her, she would definitely go for a simple and elegant French manicure, but when I think of Tan Li’s style…

  Wu Xiu: “Dali, mom thinks this style is good, what do you think?”

  Tan Li followed Wu Xiu’s words and looked at the nail art style on the tablet. There was a butterfly bigger than a fingernail, its open wings inlaid with diamonds, and crystal tassels hanging, sparkling.

  You can imagine how cumbersome it would be if all ten fingers were filled with such patterns.

  Tan Li clapped her hands immediately, “Good! Mom has great taste!”

  The mother and daughter exchanged a knowing look, while on the other side, Tan Pei quietly wrote down another line of words on his mobile phone.

  The memo clearly recorded:
