He responded weakly, barely glancing up to respond to Talina.

Her mind was in a mess now. Not only was there the reason why Chi Xiao lost control, but also the shock of the facts. All these things were mixed together, leaving her at a loss as to what to do.

The capable inspector from before seemed to have disappeared from her, replaced by a fragile her hidden under a hard shell.

When she was a child, Tallulah always stood in front of her, blocking everything for her and protecting her.

But when Tallulah needed her help, she backed off, let go of her hand, and watched Tallulah being taken away from her.

This incident had been a nightmare in her heart until the moment she knew the truth.

However, reality played a joke on her.

She was once weak and did not have the courage and qualifications to stand in front of Tallulah to protect her. By the time she was able to protect her, Tallulah had disappeared.

"Um...are you hungry? Do you want me to make you something to eat?"

Talina asked quietly as she combed Chen's messy hair.

Chen is now like a fragile child, and she must take care of him carefully to prevent Chen from doing anything irrational.

Just like this morning.

"Need not..."

After wiping the corners of his eyes vigorously, Chen raised his head and looked at Talina, his wine-red eyes misty: "You... didn't lie to me, did you?"

Chen inquired, his fingers tightly gripping the sofa cushions.

Realizing that she had been living a lie, she began to re-examine everything around her, starting with Talina in front of her.

She was afraid that the person who protected her in front of Wei Yanwu was also deceiving her with lies like him.

"No, I never lie!"

Raising her right hand, Talina said seriously.

"Um..."

Nodding, Chen temporarily believed Talina's words.

Although she had no way to prove that Talina was telling the truth, she also had no way to prove that Talina was lying to her.

She is an inspector and a top student of the Royal Victoria Guards College. Reading people's expressions is her basic skill.

The details in the other party's words and the natural and heartfelt smile when talking about her and Talullah temporarily made Talina a trustworthy person in Chen's heart.

"Then... can you tell me about her past..."

Sitting on the sofa, Chen put his hands on his knees, like a helpless child.

"Okay~"

Faced with Chen's request, Talina had no reason to refuse, and she accepted it with pleasure.

Since Chen was Tallulah's only family, then she was also, and now that Tallulah was gone, then...

It's up to you to take care of the other person.

.........

With a lot of questions in her mind, Wen Yue returned to where Wei Yanwu was.

Standing outside the door, Wen Yue looked at the office that had been restored to its original state and walked in without knocking.

Wei Yanwu inside was holding a phone and seemed to be talking to someone. When he saw Wen Yue come in, he made a gesture to wait.

"OK, all right..."

After a few words, Wei Yanwu ended the conversation and looked at his wife: "How is it?"

"The situation is simple. Tallulah is still the same person she was before. She has not become what you call Kosice."

After briefly repeating what Talina had just said, Wen Yue looked at Wei Yanwu and asked curiously, "Who was that person you were talking to just now?"

As Wei Yanwu's wife, Wen Yue prided herself on knowing him a little bit. She knew that every step he took must have his reasons, and he would never do anything meaningless.

"It's about Casimir. We haven't met before, but now that we've met, I can't pretend I didn't see you. I want to get to know you and verify some things."

Waving his hand, Wei Yanwu subconsciously prepared to pick up the pipe at hand, but Wen Yue took it away first: "Tell me about Tallulah!"

With a dangerous light flashing in her eyes, Wen Yue stared at Wei Yanwu.

Wei Yanwu was not surprised at all after hearing what she said. Even the news that Tallulah was alive could not move him at all.

Then, there is only one answer...

Chen is not the only one who has been deceived, she... is among them!

"Tsk..."

Rubbing his temples with a headache, looking at Wen Yue's expression, Wei Yanwu knew...

I'm afraid it will be difficult to get through today.

Volume 5: Chapter 59: Despicable You

"Did she tell you all this? She really is..."

Chen's face flushed with clenched teeth.

While talking to her, Talina told her many embarrassing stories.

These included, but were not limited to, bed-wetting, secretly feeding the dog vegetables he didn't eat, and arguing with Tallulah and then secretly hiding her clothes.

These can be regarded as the dark history among her peers. While feeling shy, Chen also further confirmed Talina's true identity and confirmed that the other party did not lie to her.

No wonder Talina was so hesitant when I asked her for more details. It seems she only remembered these few things...

Chen was also glad that the other party did not say it in public, otherwise he would have lost face.

Only she and Tallulah knew these things. No one else knew, not even their mother.

If Talina, who knew all this, was here to deceive her, she would accept it.

"By the way, what was that before you? Why did everything go black all of a sudden?"

After the chat, Chen suddenly remembered what happened before.

Being able to eliminate Chi Xiao's sword energy and pull herself out was not something that the previous weakling Talina could do.

Can that little figure who has difficulty even lifting something stand in front of me?

The shadow of Talina standing in front of him flashed before his eyes, and Chen suddenly thought of his childhood.

At that time, she seemed to be standing in front of him like this, right?

I'm being protected in the same way again...

"That? Just think of it as an Originium technique. I don't know the exact principles, but it's pretty useful anyway."

Scratching her head, Talina replied.

The situation was critical before, so she could only take a little blood casually, and ended up getting Viviana's.

But she was lucky. In that situation, Viviana's skill of seizing the source stone of light was indeed the best solution.

Ravshini and Russell might be a little better at fighting.

"Is this so..."

After learning the answer, Chen fell silent again.

Before she knew Talina's true identity, she could still treat her as a friend with whom she could chat, but as her identity became clear, she didn't know how to deal with herself.

There's a sister-in-law out of nowhere...

Chen felt uncomfortable when he thought about calling someone younger than him sister-in-law.

With no topics to talk about, she could only respond by staring blankly.

"Your name is Chen... Huijie, right?"

Talina's pronunciation of this difficult-to-pronounce name was a little strange, but she could still barely understand what she was saying.

"Then can I call you Huijie?"

With a smile on her face, Talina reached out her hand to Chen's head and combed his hair: "I never asked you before, but now I know."

Instinctively resisting this intimate contact, Chen turned his head and avoided Talina's hand.

But Talina still persisted and tried to put her hand on Chen's head.

After dodging back and forth several times, Talina became impatient, so she grabbed Chen's shoulder with her left hand: "Don't move, your hair is messy!"

With a hint of reprimand in her tone, Talina firmly controlled Chen in place.

Chen frowned uncomfortably as he felt Talina's arms running through his hair.

Talina's movements were so light that they were almost imperceptible, and Chen gradually got used to the feeling.

After combing Chen's hair, Talina withdrew her hand.

Although Chen's head feels very comfortable to touch, it should be done in moderation. If the other party is disgusted, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

Talina observed Chen and saw that he was still unhappy, so she joked, "Do you want me to braid your hair?"

“Who wants it?”

After loudly rejecting Talina's "kindness", Chen adjusted his mentality when he noticed that the atmosphere had eased a little.

She realized that Talina did it on purpose, deliberately stirring up her emotions to make herself feel better.

"Are you feeling better?"

Deliberately lowering her head, Talina rushed in front of Chen and looked up at him.

"you..."

Chen, who had originally planned to continue to be depressed, could no longer bear it. She was unable to cope with Talina's rogue-like behavior.

"It's okay... I need some time alone."

Pushing Tarina's face away with his right hand, Chen turned and leaned towards the other side.

But just as she sat down, Talina appeared in front of her again: "You haven't answered me yet?!"

Half squatting on the armrest of the sofa, Talina said with dissatisfaction, her cheeks slightly puffed up.

"Answer what?"

"Name! Isn't your name Chen Huijie? Then can I call you Huijie?"

"random..."

Tired of being pestered, Chen agreed casually.

It was just a name, so she didn't care. But just as she thought so, Talina gave her a big one.

"What about my sister?"

With her chin resting on the armrest of the sofa, Tarina looked at Chen eagerly.

"Can't!"

After sternly rejecting Talina's "unreasonable" request, Chen felt a little headache.

Why does it feel like Talina is so...absent-minded after her identity is revealed?

Whatever you think comes out...

She missed the old Talina a little.

"Is it not possible..."

After being rejected by Chen, Talina's mood was obviously much lower.

I was thinking we could get closer by calling each other names... but it still doesn't work?

In Chen's eyes, all the things I have done are as unreal as castles in the air. Is it true that I cannot win Chen's trust just by telling my own stories?

"Tsk..."

Looking at Talina's expression as if she was bullied, Chen felt a sense of guilt.

Obviously I didn't do anything...

"Never mind...just do as you please."
