Chapter 70: These six people are indispensable.
Chapter 70: These six people are indispensable.
In fact, before meeting Tangxi, Lin Sui never thought of being anyone's savior.
She herself was just getting by, living one day at a time, and considered it a bonus to be alive.
Of course, it's not that she didn't try.
She was abandoned by her adoptive father when she was five years old.
The memories were too distant; she couldn't remember how she got back.
However, she always remembered clearly the look in her adoptive father's eyes when he saw her, filled with fear and disgust, the moment she realized she had found her way back.
Less than a year later, her adoptive mother died from overwork.
When her adoptive father abandoned her once again, he clearly told her, "You're a jinx! Why did you come back? If you hadn't come back, your mother wouldn't have died. You're the one who killed her!"
She remembered those words for a very, very long time.
Until Lao Mo said that she was a lucky star.
But Old Mo also died.
Lin Sui thought she would no longer insist on anything.
But she encountered a group of villains.
For some reason, she couldn't stand by and watch these villains.
Lu Xiang said that Yu Cinian liked to play with people's hearts, but he would also notice that she was not feeling well in the first place, and then help her suppress the sharp little monster, quickly ending that meaningless verbal battle.
Li Ye may seem indifferent and uncaring, but he is the first to rush down to get her medicine when she falls ill, and he will immediately do the cooking work that is not his responsibility when she says it is time to eat.
Si Xingran has a terrible temper and is always sarcastic, but just because she said she would do it, he reluctantly started feeding the pigs, even though he didn't want to.
Lu Xiang is capricious and has a bad temper, but he has a soft and fragile heart. Surprisingly, he cares about her emotions and opinions, and even pays special attention to the smallest injuries on her body.
And Tangxi...
This little girl, who touched her heart the most, was almost always by her side.
She would look at her with admiration and do everything she could to help her out of concern for her health, even bravely standing in front of her despite her severe language barrier.
Yet this well-behaved girl was cursed as an ominous monster in her dream.
And those who criticized her were all her closest relatives.
Just like when she was called a jinx.
When Lin Sui woke up, her heart started to hurt again, as expected.
Fortunately, it was still within her tolerable range. She took the medicine, her head covered in cold sweat, and then leaned against the headboard to calm her rapid breathing.
It was just before dawn, and the heavy curtains blocked out the light, leaving the room dim.
Lin Sui stared blankly into the void, thinking of the Weibo post about Wen Ge that she had seen after adding items to her shopping cart before going to bed last night.
That very night, Qin Yin, Lou Baobao, and Ya Ya bravely stepped forward and posted a series of pieces of evidence, definitively proving Wen Ge to be a scumbag who lived off women, cheated on them, seduced them, and used psychological manipulation.
At the end of the evidence they posted, they all thanked a group of people.
I didn't know who they were until I went online and found out they were so famous.
I am so lucky to have met them; they saved me.
Especially @林岁林大师, she is not the fraudster who took the script as some people suspect; she is really amazing.
If there truly are gods in this world who can save people from suffering, I think it must be Master Lin.
—It's true, it's true, our Suibao is! Really! Oh my god, I'm going to cry!
—As expected of my Lu Jie, such a powerful female lead's speech, I love it!
—I miscalculated. It turns out the perverts were actually doing good deeds. Suddenly, I feel a little strange.
—No, no, I don't believe it, this isn't true, you're telling me my mom gave birth to a monster!
They are villains, and their behavior is abnormal in the eyes of the world.
But they also saved others, didn't they... even though there might have been some accidental or serendipitous elements involved.
Why shouldn't they get a good ending?
Lin Sui then thought of the unified title she used for them in the illusion—closest friends.
Yang Zhaodi said that it was the deepest memory in her heart.
If she can save Xia Juntao, Qin Yin, and even Ya Ya, why can't she save them?
No matter how difficult it is, she has to do it.
Lin Sui's dazed gaze gradually hardened.
Before we parted yesterday, Si Xingran forcibly added her on WeChat and took two exorcism talismans from her.
Lin Sui found the chat box he had pinned to the top and made a voice call.
If you don't get a response the first time, try a second time, a third time...
On the fifth try, the call was finally connected.
Lin Sui decisively moved her phone further away.
"Are you sick? Are you sick? Do you have some serious illness like Yu Cinian?!"
"Do you know what time it is? It's 5:30!"
"Do you know what time I went to sleep? 4:30!"
"Do you know you're going to get beaten up for doing that?!"
Si Xingran's voice grew increasingly irritable, his resentment bordering on madness.
Lin Sui pursed her lips and calmly said, "Sleep at four, wake up at five, drink millet in the ICU, be careful of sudden death."
Si Xingran: "..." Suddenly regretted adding her on WeChat.
"Master, ancestor, what exactly do you want?" The voice coming from the receiver was heavy with drowsiness, as well as frustration and helplessness.
Lin Sui felt no guilt whatsoever and could play the role of a domineering CEO without any psychological burden: "I need all of Tang Xi's information within one minute."
Si Xingran: "...Aren't you a master? Can't you calculate?"
Lin Sui: "I'm stupid and not good at my job."
Si Xingran: "..."
As expected of the genius hacker Si Xingran, he sent Tang Xi's biographical information within a minute.
In addition to a detailed home address, it also includes which hospital the child was born in, and where the child attended kindergarten, primary school, and secondary school.
The Tang family is a typical scholarly family.
My grandparents, who died young, were researchers. Both my parents were professors at a prestigious 958 university. I have an older brother who is a renowned painter of the new generation and owns his own gallery. I have a cousin who was adopted by my family after her parents died and has just been admitted to one of the top dance academies in the country.
Only Tangxi seemed out of place in this family…
"So this is what Little Potato does? He's really been hiding his talent." Si Xingran also came to her senses and clicked her tongue in admiration. "Not bad, not bad, another formidable general."
"By the way, why are you investigating Tang Xi? Did she, like Wen Ge, swindle you out of your money and your body?"
"..." Lin Sui said softly, "Yes, it hurts my heart."
Si Xingran: "...You win."
Lin Sui hadn't figured out what to do yet, and her nightmares were still limited to being surrounded by countless "monsters," "always having a dead face," "feeling disgusted just looking at you," and "looking weird and ugly."
She didn't know whether rushing to Tangxi's door would help her or harm her.
Lin Sui admitted that he was timid.
The closer we get to this point, the more hesitant we become.
"It's a pity I've been busy studying your exorcism talisman these past two days and can't join in the fun. If you need anything, just ask Bing Datou. I think you should remember that milk tea shop from last time, right?" Si Xingran said, unable to help but let out a teasing laugh.
Lin Sui was the first person to faint from the sight of the pig's blood on him.
He knew that Lin Sui was actually afraid of blood, but he deliberately used this to mock her.
Lin Sui could easily tell, and said calmly, "It is quite unforgettable. I think you, stuck in traffic on the Middle Ring Road that day, must have found it even more unforgettable."
Si Xingran: "...Goodbye!"
Lin Sui hesitated all morning about what to do, so she sent a WeChat message to Tang Xi to ask if she was alright at home.
Ten minutes later, Tangxi replied: Great, I just missed you [hug].
Lin Sui had a gut feeling that something was wrong.
Normally, we would ask her, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
At that moment, I received a notification on my phone that 20 million had been deposited into my account.
Those villains kept their word and actually gave her all the prize money.
However, Lin Sui didn't want the others, especially Tang Xi's.
Tangxi might need the money more than she does.
As Lin Sui was thinking, her phone vibrated again; it was a call from Director Wu.
"Master Lin, I just received a message from Tangxi saying that she won't be participating in the next episode. Do you know why?"
Director Wu sounded regretful.
Not to mention that Tangxi has the ability to see ghosts, she is a perfect fit for the show.
The chemistry between the six of them is exactly what his show needs.
He felt as if a voice inside him was telling him this.
Lin Sui and the other six are indispensable.
Lin Sui's face darkened.
Tangxi clearly felt more comfortable around ghosts, so even though she was afraid to reveal her true identity to the public, she still chose to participate in this program where she could see ghosts.
Especially... it's not that Lin Sui is narcissistic, but she really feels that Tang Xi now has another reason to participate in the show.
Tangxi will not withdraw.
Lin Sui asked calmly, "Who told you that she wanted to quit?"
