"It has nothing to do with you."
Taozi's answer was very blunt, as if she had no intention of having a good conversation with me from the beginning.
"If you have this attitude, we will both lose."
I just wanted to hit her with words and didn't expect her to be moved at all. After a while, I changed my words again.
"I am a street artist, and you are a kiln shop owner. We are both poor people in the world. You keep your word, right?"
Taozi gave me a cold look: "I'm a businessman, how can I survive if I don't keep my word?"
"Okay, then promise me now, no matter what you see later, don't let this secret get out of this room."
When I said this, the playful look on Taozi's face faded a little: "What do you want to do?"
"Promise me first!"
"Okay!" Taozi raised three fingers: "I swear, I won't leak a word to the outside world."
I don't know if Taozi will fulfill her promise, but now she has a knife stuck in my soft spot, and I have no choice.
I gently put my fingers on the mask, and with a slight exertion, the string behind my head became loose.
"Snapped."
The rubber band was disconnected and the mask completely broke free. I took it off gently and the mask was taken off by me.
The moment I took off the mask, the wind started blowing outside the window, and I felt a slight pain on my face.
My face has not seen sunlight or wind for at least a few months. The breeze outside the window blows on my face, stinging like needles.
The stiff muscles drove my cervical spine, forcing me to slowly raise my head: "Chen Qi is here."
"ah!"
That Taozi who remained calm in front of the Taishan collapsed jade, jumped to his feet and exclaimed, pointing at me with one hand, unable to say a word.
"Don't shout! The people below you will be called later!"
Hearing this, Taozi turned around and left, opened the door, and returned to her female overlord appearance: "No orders from me, stay down there!"
The door was locked again, Tao Zi's plump chest heaved violently, and her two almond-shaped eyes widened.
"you you……"
The mask on my face was taken off, and the rope in my heart was loosened. Worry inevitably rose in my heart, but I felt more calm.
I leaned lazily on the bed: "Yes, it's me."
"Why did you make yourself like this?"
I hesitated and said with a smile, "You don't need to know this. You just know one thing. Even Uncle Ya is kept in the dark. Only you know my identity."
"So." I stood up slowly and bowed slightly to her: "Please keep it a secret, otherwise many people will die."
I looked up at her and whispered, "Why do you have to see me?"
Taozi threw her wavy hair behind her head, took out the leather case from her bag, and tied it up casually.
"I just wanted to see you."
"Gone?"
"Gone."
Taozi was very calm, and there was no wave between her brows.
I immediately couldn’t laugh or cry: “You’re making up lies, so at least you have some credibility, right?”
"We are neither relatives nor friends, at most we have some friendship. You said you want to see me?"
Taozi lowered her head: "We are the only two in the room, I don't need to lie to you."
"When you disappeared, I was looking for you every day, and I even did some unspeakable things."
I suddenly had a bad feeling: "Not on the stage, what do you mean?"
"me……"
The woman who looked down on the world has now become the little girl who made a mistake: "I stole Ji Canghai's wheelchair and refused to let anyone go to the teahouse to drink tea."
"***of!"
I couldn't hold it back and scolded him directly: "Are you immoral? Are you stealing wheelchairs from disabled people? Are you depriving people of their wealth?"
"Yes, yes, I shouldn't do this, but I want to find you and they won't tell me, so I can only use this method."
I didn’t want to get entangled in this matter, so I said bluntly: “If you tell me the truth now, what are you doing with me?”
"I'm telling the truth!"
"I do not believe!"
Taozi slowly raised her head, her eyes already red: "Only I know your identity, but only you know the secret in my heart."
"I miss you."
