Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 257 is too tiring

Tang Xu's life in London was so simple that it consisted of only going between three points.

Villas, hospitals, and shopping malls.

Especially after Jiang Beiheng's treatment plan was finalized.

After studying his condition, the hospital determined a treatment plan of chemotherapy plus targeted drugs, and then began the treatment.

Therefore, Tang Xu spent an even longer period of time accompanying Jiang Beiheng at the hospital.

The treatment process for tumor recurrence is naturally painful, but Jiang Beiheng had probably had a similar experience before, and he had made all the preparations this time. Therefore, his overall condition was not bad. Apart from being obviously pale and thin, he was in good spirits most of the time.

Tang Xu would always spend a long time in the hospital with him, talking, chatting, and taking walks.

It seems that Jiang Beiheng wasn't the only one trapped in this small world; she was too.

Tang Xu seemed to adapt to this very well, eating when she was supposed to eat, drinking when she was supposed to drink, and laughing when she was supposed to laugh, as if she had no worries at all.

Seeing her condition, Jiang Beiheng was still worried and finally couldn't help but say to her, "Don't always come to the hospital to keep me company. Go out for walks and breathe some fresh air."

Tang Xu was arranging the flowers she had just brought when she heard this. She looked up at the lush garden outside the window and asked, "Isn't the air here fresh enough? Is there something you feel is lacking? Should we arrange for the hospital to upgrade its ventilation system?"

Jiang Beiheng glanced at her helplessly before saying, "A healthy person shouldn't stay in the hospital for too long. It will affect your overall health. Look at you, you've been here for so long and your complexion hasn't improved at all."

Tang Xu still had her own answer: "How do you know I'm not sick?"

Jiang Beiheng seemed a little angry. "Then tell me, what's wrong with you? I'll arrange for a doctor to take a look at you right away. If you need to be hospitalized, then be hospitalized; if you need to take medicine, then take medicine."

Hearing his tone, Tang Xu calmed down a bit and laughed, "Alright, alright, I won't joke with you anymore. You get angry so easily, you're so petty..."

Jiang Beiheng was both angry and amused. "And now it's my fault?"

"Of course it's my fault," Tang Xu said. "No matter what, it's all my fault."

Despite saying that, Tang Xu still spent most of her time at the hospital every day.

This mindset is actually more similar to recovering from an injury.

She has experienced too many changes, and now that she has finally gotten away from Huai City, it seems that she has a chance to catch her breath.

Unlike the previous time, when she had the opportunity to travel around and use various cultures and landscapes to heal her wounds and find peace, this time she was able to heal herself.

This time, I'm so tired, really so tired.

She was so tired that she had no energy left to explore new worlds. She just wanted to stay in a small circle where she didn't have to travel far, think about complicated things, or see all sorts of random people.

Just taking a break.

This state, though seemingly boring and dull to outsiders, is actually a comfortable one for Tang Xu.

She was unwilling to break this comfortable state.

Although she thought so, Jiang Beiheng did not think so.

No one can stay in a closed circle unless you can stay there for a lifetime.

When you subconsciously accept everything about this circle and treat it as your entire world, it is certainly a perfect comfort zone.

But if one day this circle is broken, people will not be able to bear it.

Of course, someone as resilient as Tang Xu might be able to withstand it.

But what if?
After all, this kind of experience can drive a person crazy.

Perhaps Jiang Beiheng had been nagging her too much, and Tang Xu finally couldn't take it anymore. So, on a day off, when Yingjie asked her to take her sightseeing in central London, Tang Xu agreed.

Tang Xu originally planned to take Ying Jie to visit various famous attractions in London first, but as they were walking around, Ying Jie was suddenly attracted by a Chinese supermarket on the roadside. Perhaps it was because she was homesick, she went in and didn't want to leave.

Tang Xu bought a bottle of water and stood by the roadside waiting for her. When he turned his head, he was suddenly attracted by a poster hanging on the building next door.

When Sister Ying came out with two large bags full of things, she saw Tang Xu staring at the poster in a daze.

"What's that?" Although Yingjie's English wasn't fluent, she still tried her best to decipher the content on the poster. "Is it an advertisement for a training institution?"

"Yes," Tang Xu replied, then prepared to leave. "Let's go."

"Let's go up and take a look," Yingjie suddenly said to her.

"What are you looking at?" Tang Xu asked, slightly surprised. "Are you planning to enroll in some kind of course?"

Yingjie glanced at Tang Xu, "Is that not allowed?"

Tang Xu smiled helplessly, "Of course. But what do you plan to learn?"

"Why don't we go up and take a look?" Sister Ying said, carrying two large bags of things and leading the way.

Tang Xu helplessly pulled her along, took the bag from her hand, and pointed in the opposite direction, "This way."

The two of them each carried a bag upstairs. In the elevator, Yingjie learned about most of the types of courses offered by the training institution—languages, computers, music, art, dance, flower arranging, and so on…

Suddenly, Yingjie pointed to the floral arrangement and asked Tang Xu, "How about this?"

"You want to learn this?"

Yingjie's acting skills weren't very good either. She smiled and said to Tang Xu, "I definitely don't have much time to learn. You can come and learn. Once you've learned it, you can teach me when you get home. Wouldn't that be perfect?"

Tang Xu couldn't help but laugh at her exaggerated expression and said, "Hmm, you've got a pretty good plan."

Jiang Beiheng must have sent Yingjie some message, wanting to add something new to her life, so Yingjie took the opportunity to pull her onto the "right path".

Since they were already there, Tang Xu took Ying Jie with her and picked up some brochures at the agency's front desk, pretending to inquire about the course content.

Unexpectedly, the receptionist was a chatterbox. As soon as someone came in for consultation, she immediately launched into a long and detailed explanation.

Tang Xu's attention wasn't actually on her introduction at all; she was lost in thought when she suddenly heard a slightly surprised voice behind her—

"Tang Xu?"

Tang Xu was slightly taken aback, turned around, and saw a tall and slender beautiful woman.

She hadn't used her brain for quite some time. Although the other person looked somewhat familiar, she just couldn't remember who it was.

Once the other person confirmed it was her, they immediately greeted her with a smile, "Don't you recognize me? I'm Sang Yue! We were classmates for two years in university, but then my family came to London, and I was forced to drop out of school. Don't you remember?"

Tang Xu then vaguely remembered, "Ah, Sang Yue, it's you. What a coincidence."

“Yes.” Sang Yue looked at her and smiled. “What are you doing here? Have you settled in London too?”

"No, it's just a temporary stay," Tang Xu replied.

Sang Yue looked down and saw the flyer in her hand, then suddenly reached out and took it. "What are you doing here? Are you planning to sign up for a training course, or are you here to check out the environment?"

Tang Xu looked at her practice clothes and belatedly realized something, "You teach dance here?"

“Yes, a traditional Chinese dance training class has opened here. Isn’t that amazing? Teaching traditional Chinese dance in London…” Sang Yue said, laughing to herself, before adding, “Although there aren’t many students, the class is fairly stable, so I occasionally come here part-time…”

At this point, Sang Yue's expression suddenly changed slightly. She looked at Tang Xu and said, "Oh no, could it be that some students have complained about me and they're looking for you to replace me?"

"You have such a vivid imagination," Tang Xu said, looking at her. "I came here to inquire about flower arrangement training."

Sang Yue quickly patted her chest to calm herself down. "You scared me. If they really want to find you to replace me, I really have no chance of winning."

Tang Xu lowered her eyes helplessly and chuckled before saying, "Don't joke around, I stopped dancing a long time ago."

"Huh?" Sang Yue was surprised again, then remembered something, "Oh right, I remember you married into the Jiang family and became the young mistress! That makes sense, you don't have to dance anymore! It's just a pity, you danced so well, I still remember your solo dance at the welcome party, it amazed so many people!"

Tang Xu paused for a moment, but ultimately did not avoid the topic, saying, "I am no longer a member of the Jiang family."

"Huh?" Sang Yue rolled her eyes awkwardly. "Divorced?"

Tang Xu smiled and nodded.

"That's not a big deal," Sang Yue said, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Then you can continue dancing now, right?"

Tang Xu gently shook her head.

"Why?" Sang Yue frowned slightly and said, "You dance so well, it would be a shame if you didn't."

Tang Xu shrugged. "I was in a car accident during the first semester of my senior year and injured my foot. I can't jump anymore."

Upon hearing this, Sang Yue froze for several seconds before looking down at Tang Xu's feet. "Are your feet injured?"

“I’m fine in daily life,” Tang Xu said. “It’s just that I can no longer do those professional dance moves.”

Sang Yue wilted like a frostbitten eggplant for a moment before finally saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't know..."

“It’s okay,” Tang Xu said. “It’s been several years, and I’ve long since gotten used to it.”

Sang Yue paused for a moment, then said, "With your talent and ability, even if you can't do the movements yourself, you can still choreograph! I happen to be in a dance troupe. If you have time, would you like to go check it out?"

Tang Xu didn't respond to her question, but instead asked, "Are there national dance companies in London?"

“Yes!” Sang Yue’s eyes lit up again when she mentioned this. “We formed our own little dance troupe, and there are even foreign girls! We occasionally perform in theaters, and sometimes we even go to other cities in Europe… Although the theater is small and there are only about a hundred audience members, everyone dances very happily.”

“That’s good,” Tang Xu said.

"So, would you like to come and take a look?" Sang Yue immediately seized the opportunity to ask. "We're planning to choreograph a new dance recently, and if you join us, it will definitely be extraordinary!"

Tang Xu smiled faintly and said, "Since my injury, I haven't paid attention to anything related to dance. Even if you asked me to choreograph it now, I couldn't. Besides, I'm only staying here temporarily to accompany my elders for treatment, so I don't have time to do these things. Thank you for your kindness."

Upon hearing this, Sang Yue's eyes showed disappointment. After a long silence, she finally let out a soft breath and said, "Alright then, it's really tough when someone in the family is sick... Let's exchange contact information. When we have a performance, I'll send you a message, and you can come to watch!"

Tang Xu nodded and smiled, "Okay."
