Tao Yaping turned over on the bed, opened her eyes in a daze, and dimly found that the wall clock on the wall showed that it was 9:20. She sat up with a spirit.

Why did you sleep so late? I wake up at seven o'clock at work on weekdays. In the past few days, I took sick leave because of a leg injury, so I simply turned off the alarm clock. It seems that relying on the body's biological clock alone is still unreliable.

She stretched, climbed out of bed, and instead of going straight to the bathroom to wash, she first called the security company. After the business is negotiated, slowly walk to the bathing table to freshen up.

She looked at herself in the mirror, and it was too haggard to describe it: her face was sallow, and two large dark circles hung under her godless eyes. No way, I was cranky last night, and I guess I didn't fall asleep until four o'clock in the morning. Coupled with the continuous tension and anxiety for a period of time, it is no wonder that the complexion can be good.

Although she knew that no amount of expensive makeup could save a decadent face, she still lightly applied makeup to herself, hoping that the overall state would look as good as possible. Then I walked into the kitchen, cooked a small pot of vegetarian cereal, and had a simple breakfast. I hope that the person will show up on time later.

It was close to ten o'clock when the bodyguards arrived. Tao Yaping briefly explained a few words to him, and the bodyguards nodded frequently. Then, not long after, I saw a woman wearing a mask coming through the floor-to-ceiling window of the hall.

That's right, it's her!

The woman came to the appointment on time.

The mysterious visitor walked up to the villa and found that the mistress of the house had already prepared to greet him—the front door was ajar, and the strong man who had caught him in three or two strokes last night was standing proudly in the courtyard with his hands crossed over his chest. Such a posture couldn't help but make his heart chuckle a little.

After Tao Yaping saw the woman in the room, she stood up and went to greet her, and invited the other party into the room to sit.

"Do you need to search your body again?" the woman deliberately reminded as she passed by the bodyguard.

"No, I don't. You just come in. Tao Yaping replied very briskly, and then gently instructed the bodyguard: "Excuse me, just wait for us in the courtyard." ”

"Yes, Ms. Tao. The bodyguard replied politely, and glanced at the guest, intentionally or unintentionally, as if some kind of implicit warning and demonstration.

Hum. The woman snickered inwardly. Tao Yaping, who has been comfortable for half her life, has really been forced to such a point, does she need to play this kind of caution again and again.

Of course, she didn't need to care whether she had a murder weapon or not. Because she knows that her purpose is not only to "kill", but also to "kill people without knowing it". So as long as the bodyguards are standing outside, no one in the house will dare to do it.

Body-searching? There's no need for that.

The woman walked into the house, waited for the hostess to close all the curtains on the windows, and then took off her mask, and then chose a sofa to sit down on.

Tao Yaping poured a glass of water for her, put it on the coffee table, and stared at the visitor for a while.

"Why? I guess it was too dark last night to see clearly, did I?" said the guest, looking back at her, with a blank face.

Tao Yaping turned her face away in embarrassment, and laughed at herself: "It just feels weird." It's really too similar, even more like Yajuan. Some...... Incredible. ”

"Yajuan" is Tao Yaping's younger sister, 6 years younger. The facial features of the two are also quite similar.

The woman naturally knew who "Yajuan" was, but she didn't pick it up. It seems that in her opinion, it is not such a shocking thing to meet herself in another universe.

"But you don't seem surprised at all when you see me. Tao Yaping couldn't help but ask.

The woman thought about it seriously for a moment and replied quite seriously: "Not exactly. In fact, when I saw my other self for the first time, I reacted the same way as you, I couldn't believe my eyes, it felt like a fantasy. ”

"When did you see each other for the first time?"

“...... Uh," the woman paused, as if wondering how to answer, before she explained with a twinkle in her eyes, "April...... 1 day. I came on the 1st. Later, I followed you a few times, so I saw you a lot, and slowly got used to it. ”

"No. 1?" Tao Yaping thought thoughtfully: "No. 1 has only been more than half a month now, so your psychological tolerance and adaptability are really strong." To be able to fully accept such a ridiculous thing in such a short period of time, I don't think I would have been able to do it. Oh, by the way, you...... How did you get there?"

The woman glanced at her indifferently and replied coldly: "I am a chemistry major like you, and this kind of thing belongs to the category of physics. I've experienced it myself, but I can't explain it. ”

"That'...... Is it a car accident or falling into the water or something like in the movie?"

"I don't know. I can't really explain it. The woman's attitude was very simple, and she picked up a Transformers toy on the sofa, and unconsciously flipped through and played with it in her hand. Apparently refusing to talk about this topic.

Seeing this, Tao Yaping was also very knowledgeable and interested, and did not continue to entangle. Looking at the transformer in his eyes, he naturally asked casually: "This toy...... Do you still have an impression?"

"Want to test me?" the woman glanced at her, and there was a hint of-for-tat in her tone.

"This is Haohao's birthday present last year, he likes it very much, but unfortunately it was broken. You promise him that if he can score 100 points in the next exam, he will buy another one that is exactly the same. After a short pause, he added: "He is very competitive, and he will really score 100 points in the next math test." So you can go buy a new one now and prepare in advance. When he comes back with the roll, he will be rewarded directly. ”

"Next math quiz?" Tao Yaping was stunned and asked unconsciously, "Aren't you...... Will it come eleven years later? These things are ...... to you? It should be extremely long. How can you remember it so clearly!?" As for the toy, she originally just mentioned it casually without words, and there was no idea of using it to investigate the other party. Who knows, it also raises a big question.

The woman just lowered her head and played with the Optimus Prime model, pretending not to hear, obviously refusing to answer the question.

"It can be seen that you still have a deep affection for Haohao. Tao Yaping couldn't help but shake her head lightly, and sighed to herself: "It's hard for me to imagine that you would be willing to give up his custody." ”

The woman remained silent, and her face was a little uncomfortable. Tao Yaping talked about these topics that she didn't want to mention.

After a short silence, she could only take the initiative to change the content to chat: "You called me over to discuss things together." Let's talk about all this gossip later. You say, what do you want to discuss?"

Tao Yaping smiled lightly and replied, "Of course, let's discuss and see if there is a way to get the best of both worlds that can make you give up the idea of killing me." As long as you don't threaten me anymore, I don't have to call the police to arrest you. ”

"Have you figured out anything that works?"

"Have you ever thought that you don't necessarily have to live here in my place? Maybe we can ......," Tao Yaping said very carefully, "we can live together." We can coexist in the world. ”

"Co-existence?" the woman looked up at each other.

"Yes. You just want a reasonable identity, and we can artificially create an identity. Like what...... How about you pretending to be my cousin? I thought about it carefully, you and I look so similar that no one else will suspect that you are related to each other. Anyway, this is not my hometown, so you don't have to worry about a seventh aunt or eight aunts suddenly running out to demolish you. In this way, Hao Hao can call you aunt. I'm going to fetch him back so that you can see him often and raise him with me. How do you feel about making up for your previous regrets?"

The woman was thinking seriously and did not answer for the time being. In fact, in the current situation, she is completely passive. No matter what the other party asks, she can only be forced to agree, otherwise the other party will immediately call the police - she doesn't want to be arrested by the police again. However, Tao Yaping's current idea does not seem to have much to lose. Therefore, it is not a good move to agree to delay the army first.

Tao Yaping saw that the guest had been hesitant, so she continued to lobby: "You want to kill me, just to be able to raise the child." If there is now a chance for you to live with him openly, why do you have to kill him? Isn't this the best solution for you and me?"

"Okay. The woman made up her mind, but there was no expression on her face, "Sounds like a good suggestion." ”

"If you want. Tao Yaping's hanging heart instantly became half steady, "Of course, the premise of all this is that I believe that what you said is true: you love him and want to live with him." You're not going to hurt him, are you?"

The woman looked at her with a firm gaze and promised, "You can rest assured." I swear in the name of my parents that I will never do anything to hurt my children. ”

In the name of the parents, this vow was made quite carefully. Tao Yaping thought it was worth believing and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, I believe you. I'm not a liar, and since you and I are the same person, I assume that you don't like to lie either, and you won't lie to me easily. ”

The woman looked away and was silent again.

"Then let's settle it first. Tomorrow is the weekend, and I'm going to pick up Hao Hao and let you meet you officially. ”

As soon as the child was mentioned, the woman's attitude was obviously much more positive, and she immediately echoed: "Okay." Just tomorrow. ”

Tao Yaping smiled, relieved by the consensus reached by the two sides. "Oh, yes. Although she didn't have a good rest last night and was not in good spirits, her thoughts have always remained clear and she has not forgotten any small details that she had envisioned before. "If we're going to be sisters in the future, aren't you...... Gotta change the name? It's going to be more convenient for any occasion. ”

The woman pondered for a moment and replied, "Yes." ”

Tao Yaping smiled gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding and willingness to give up your name." After all, if I go to change, there may be a lot of troublesome things to solve, and I won't be able to get it right for a while. Belch...... Whatever you want, it's up to you. Anyway, I remember when I was a child, there was a word I liked so much that I wanted to change my name to that one. ”

"Tong. The woman popped out of her mouth without thinking.

Tao Yaping was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "You...... How do you know?", but immediately reflected how stupid he was asking this question.

Of course she would know that she and herself are the same person!
