Chapter 48: Extravagance

Tan Mo stiffens, but doesn't speak.

Xiang Xiaohan looked at Tan Mo who didn't say a word and continued, "I saw you on the day of the field day, you played cards with Qiao Lan and Bai Yu, and then went to the stands to watch Qiao Lan play. Tan Mo, didn't you say you wouldn't go to the field day, why did you go later?"

Tan Mo's ears buzzed, Xiang Xiaohan smiled, said.

"You went there for Qiao Lan, right, because I told you the other day that Qiao Lan looked very, very good in that dress, so you came to see Qiao Lan on purpose."

Tan Mo leaned back in his chair, his fingers trembling in a way he didn't even realize, his gaze fixed on Xiang Xiaohan, "None of your business."

Xiang Xiaohan was really angry when he heard this, but he still held his anger and said, "It has nothing to do with me, but don't you think it's so strange that you and Qiao Lan are so close, everyone knows that you two are close, but everyone doesn't seem to think that it's anything, and no one else has found out that you like her except for me, Tan Mo, do you know why? Tan Mo, do you know why."

Tan Mo didn't want to hear it, he had a gut feeling that Xiang Xiaohan's words wouldn't be good, but he didn't think they would be so heartbreaking.

Xiang Xiaohan told Tan Mo in a light tone, "Because, in everyone's eyes, you're not normal at all."

"Although recently many people are guessing whether Qiao Lan likes Chen Yaoyang or not, and inquiring who are the boys Qiao Lan is close to, but no one counts you among them, in fact, you are the one who Qiao Lan is closest to and has the best relationship with, but no one will think of you, why? Because no one thought Qiao Lan would like Tan Mo, even if you are smart and good at studying, even if everyone calls you a genius, in the eyes of the majority of people, Tan Mo, you don't even count as a normal person, not even a normal person, so how could anyone think of your name."

There are words that come more chilling and desperate than a knife.

"Not a normal person", these words stuck with such precision in the most vulnerable part of Tan Mo's heart that it hurt so much that he could barely think.

Tan Mo opened his mouth, but realized he couldn't speak at all.

Because he couldn't find a counter argument.

Xiang Xiaohan smiled proudly.

She had thought that Qiao Lan would be with Hao Ying, and even if they weren't, they would definitely be ambiguous, but to her surprise, Qiao Lan actually rejected Hao Ying outright.

Xiang Xiaohan was shocked, yet a little uneasy in his mind.

And of course, like everyone else, she definitely doesn't think Qiao Lan likes Tan Mo.

But Qiao Lan doesn't like Tan Mo. Will Tan Mo like Qiao Lan?

Will.

Even though Xiang Xiaohan doesn't want to admit it, she sees Tan Mo, who said she wouldn't come to the Games but came anyway.

Tan Mo likes Qiao Lan, she guarantees it.

"But Tan Mo, how dare you", Xiang Xiaohan stared at him, "I know, it's normal to like Qiao Lan, she's pretty, she's a top student, she has a good personality, I can't find anything wrong with her. I can't find anything wrong with her. So it's normal to like her, there are a lot of people who like her, it's really nothing, but how dare you like her."

The more Xiang Xiaohan spoke, the more indescribable pain he felt in his heart.

"Do you know what Qiao Lan said about you in the dormitory, she said you're very nice, she also wants us to talk to you more, let you make more friends, she said she's happy for you if you have other friends, Tan Mo, you like her, she doesn't like you at all. But sure, she definitely won't like you, she's only nice to you because she felt sorry for you in the first place, she can't even look at Hao Ying, of course she won't even look at you..."

"Shut up!"

The strings of her heart seemed to be on the verge of breaking, and Tan Mo's voice hid an undisguised panic and frenzy.

Shut up, shut up!

Some facts, is Tan Mo hidden in the heart simply do not dare to dig out the inferiority complex, he did not dare to think and do not want to think, as long as no one touches, he seems to be able to deceive himself and others to cover up, as if nothing happened.

But now there was a man who, in the most direct way, directly lifted up all the scars, with the scars with the blood, without mercy, and the wounds were bloody and chilling.

He didn't want to hear it, he wished he could go deaf right now, but the less he wanted to hear it the more clearly he heard it.

You're not even a normal person.

How dare you Tan Mo.

Tan Mo felt his heart ache so much that he couldn't breathe, and his clenched hands, for a moment, wanted to strangle Xiang Xiaohan's neck and tell her to go to hell.

Xiang Xiaohan is startled by Tan Mo's furious look, but is emboldened by the wheelchair Tan Mo is sitting in.

Tan Mo can't even stand up, so what does she have to be afraid of.

"Angry?" Xiang Xiaohan still stepped back a little before continuing, "Actually you know it all in your heart, I'm just saying it, why are you so angry. Tan Mo, I don't want to reveal your scars, I just want you to wake up a bit, don't like her, okay? She can't possibly like you, and you don't dare to tell her at all, right? After Hao Ying confessed Qiao Lan alienated him, if Qiao Lan knows what's in your heart, what do you think she'll think of you and what will she do?"

Tan Mo's clenched teeth opened, and when he opened his mouth it seemed he could taste blood.

"You threatened me?"

"No no no," Xiang Xiaohan waved his hand hastily, "I said I just wanted you to recognize it sooner rather than think about the impossible."

Impossible things, Tan Mo's heart felt like an empty piece, and it had hurt so much that it had lost consciousness.

"And what would be the likely thing?"

"What might have been..." , Xiang Xiaohan suddenly blushed a little and carefully glanced at Tan Mo, "Tan Mo, I really did it for your own good, in fact I've liked you since the first time I saw you..."

Tan Mo looked at her impassively, and after a long time suddenly gave birth to an unspoken absurdity.

"Like me," Tan Mo looked at Xiang Xiaohan, "You just said I'm not normal."

Xiang Xiaohan looked at him with bright eyes, "I don't care, as long as you are willing to treat me like you did Qiao Lan, I won't mind you."

You don't mind him?

Tan Mo finally understands the meaning of a word.

Ridiculous.

The inferiority complex is because he cares. Because he cares about Qiao Lan, he feels useless in front of Qiao Lan.

Inferiority to the person he likes to the bone, but to Xiang Xiaohan, why should he have inferiority, why should he care about what she thinks.

"Qiao Lan is a dream I don't dare to think about," Tan Mo looked at Xiang Xiaohan and spoke slowly, "but you're nothing."

Xiang Xiaohan's blush disappeared in an instant, looking at Tan Mo incredulously.

Tan Mo is taunting her?

Who was he to be able to taunt her?

Xiang Xiaohan stood up with a huff, "Do you believe that I can tell Qiao Lan what you are thinking right now, and let her know those disgusting and perverted thoughts in your head..."

"You can try," Tan Mo said.

Evil thoughts come silently, he is willing to be a simple and kind Tan Mo in front of Qiao Lan, but this does not mean that there are no evil thoughts in his heart.

When he was bullied as a child, Tan Mo thought about letting all the bullies die.

Having suffered so much as a child, Tan Mo is no saint who wouldn't blame anyone, and the evil thoughts and darkness have been suppressed, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

"You can try", Tan Mo said, his expressionless face devoid of the slightest bit of emotion, but those eyes were so cold that they made Xiang Xiaohan shiver, "I can get you out of this school without a word, I can make your parents your family completely fall apart, you can try. "

Xiang Xiaohan rounded his eyes and suddenly laughed, "You're joking."

But the little voice was a little unsteady.

She recalled chatting with the others about the car that drove Tan Mo around every day, and hearing that the price was in the eight-figure range, a price she couldn't even begin to imagine.

Xiang Xiaohan's courage that he had just summoned up was worn away little by little.

And in the afternoon, Tan Mo suddenly handed her a file.

Xiang Xiaohan frowned and took it, the people beside him, including Qiao Lan, were surprised that Tan Mo would actually take the initiative to give something to Xiang Xiaohan, but when they saw Xiang Xiaohan open the document, his eyes widened suddenly, and then he covered the document.

It was family information about her family, her parents and even her sister, all of it complete, even a lot of stuff she didn't even know.

Xiang Xiaohan suddenly looked at Tan Mo, with terror in his eyes.

The seemingly skinny and bullying teenager, with that pale skin and light brown eyes, she suddenly remembered joking with her friend that Tan Mo was like a vampire in an ancient castle that hadn't seen the light of day, steeped in fear-inducing chills.

"You can try all you want."

Tan Mo says so.

But Xiang Xiaohan doesn't dare anymore.

Her fingers were shaking as she held the papers in her hands.

Qiao Lan looked at Xiang Xiaohan, then at Tan Mo, and after thinking about it, she couldn't help but ask Tan Mo in a low voice, "What did you give Xiang Xiaohan?"

"My classmates asked me to pass it on, I don't know", Tan Mo lowered his head and didn't look at Qiao Lan. At some point, he had gradually realized how to lie so that Qiao Lan wouldn't find out.

Qiao Lan still didn't quite believe it, because Xiang Xiaohan's expression just now was obviously looking at something really scary.

But what does Tan Mo have to fear from Xiang Xiaohan?

Qiao Lan could not have imagined.

She just after and Xiang Xiaohan familiar with, found Xiang Xiaohan character really not good, so do not want to let Tan Mo and Xiang Xiaohan too close, after all, Tan Mo so simple, contact with a lot of people if stained with bad fault can not be good.

But Qiao Lan didn't have the habit of badmouthing people behind their backs, so she could only ask Tan Mo in a low voice, "Tan Mo, what do you think of Xiang Xiaohan?"

Tan Mo turned his face away from Qiao Lan's face.

"Don't know," Tan Mo said in a muted tone, "don't know her well."

Qiao Lan smiled, finally relieved, but remembering that Xiang Xiaohan in the dormitory asked her about Tan Mo's news from time to time, and said that Tan Mo's family was well off, she still decided to keep Tan Mo away from Xiang Xiaohan.

"The homeroom teacher said that if you want to change seats you can find him, let's change seats, not in front of Xiang Xiaohan, okay", said Tan Mo, fearing that he would think too much, whispered, "I'm not on good terms with her."

Tan Mo turned his face and looked at the girl's delicate face, so good looking that he couldn't help but want to get closer.

But the moment he tried to get closer, the sharp truth that he could no longer ignore and avoid broke everything.

You're not a normal person, how dare you like her.

Tan Mo Suddenly closed his eyes and reopened them after a long time, revealing a smile that had been practiced a thousand times softly and said.

"Good."
