232 232 The little cabbage at home
After hearing that, Tan Rou’s ears turned red. She had only cooked for her family. In her heart, only her closest family members could eat the food she cooked. Why did she have to say everything in front of Zhuang Liu? However, words that had been spoken were like water that had been spilled, and could not be taken back.
‘Forget it, forget it, let’s not think about this for now.’
Anyway, she only said that she would cook for him if she had the chance in the future and they will never know when it was.
When they came out of the private room, Tan Rou felt a hot wind, which gave her red ears a good excuse. If he asked, she would say it was hot.
“Where’s Xiao Mo?” Tan Rou didn’t see Xiao Mo at the door.
“I told him to eat his own lunch and then went to wait in the car.”
“Then let’s go over now, the car is parked quite far away.” Tan Rou pushed Zhuang Liu toward the car.
In the parking lot, she met an unexpected person.
In order not to let that person see Zhuang Liu, she had to push Zhuang Liu around.
“What’s wrong?” Zhuang Liu was puzzled.
“I saw my brother. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I don’t want to meet with him for now.” Tan Rou explained herself.
However, Tao Zheng seemed to have noticed her. He waved at her from a dozen cars away. “Hey, Rou, over here!”
Tan Rou had no choice but to wave in response. “Big brother.”
Zhuang Liu understood Tan Rou’s dilemma. “Xiao Mo is nearby. Just leave me here, he will come and get me.”
“This…” Tan Rou was a little hesitant.
“It’s fine. Go after your second brother. I’ve already asked Xiao Mo to come over.” Zhuang Liu rea.s.sured her.
Xiao Mo was only a few cars away from Tao Zheng and quickly he arrived. He took Zhuang Liu’s wheelchair from Tan Rou and quickly left the scene.
Tao Zheng noticed Xiao Mo’s back and Zhuang Liu’s wheelchair. He muttered in his heart, “who was this?”
“Second brother,” Tan Rou went up to him. “What are you doing here? ”
“Didn’t I take some landscape photos a while ago? There are a few photography enthusiasts who wanted to buy it, so they arranged to have a meal nearby.”
“Congratulations!” Tan Rou was happy for him. Tao Zheng was a talented photographer. She hoped that he could fulfill the wish that he couldn’t in his previous life.
“That was…” Tao Zheng looked at Zhuang Liu’s car as it started moving, and he asked tentatively.
“He’s the friend I told you about earlier.” Tan Rou mentioned it casually, not wanting to hide the fact that Tao Zheng had seen her.
“Oh, oh.” Tao Zheng didn’t doubt her. “He doesn’t seem to be in a good shape. He’s even in a wheelchair.”
“Yes.” Tan Rou thought of the poison in Zhuang Liu’s leg. She had met almost everyone in her previous life except for Zhuang Liu. The change was that she met Bai Jing, who introduced Zhuang Liu to her. This time, Zhuang Liu would be treated and would soon recover.
After living two lives, she had long lost hope in love. When she was reborn, all she thought about was how to make her family live a better life and take revenge on the Tan family. But now, she had a little more wish, and that was Zhuang Liu. She hoped that Zhuang Liu could recover soon and continue to live with her.
“Xiao Rou, Xiao Rou…” When Tao Zheng saw her staring at the car in a daze, alarm bells went off in his heart. ‘Not good, not good. Our little cabbage might be stolen away!’
“Huh? Brother, what’s wrong?” Tan Rou came back to her senses.
“Rou, this is the time to study hard. We can’t be thinking about these unnecessary things, understand?” Tao Zheng said to Tan Rou in all earnestness.
Tan Rou understood his concern and couldn’t help but laugh. “Brother, you’re thinking too much. We’re just friends. At most, we’re only share the relationship of a business deal.”
Tao Zheng was still worried. “Let’s go home first. There’s no point for us to continue staring at them.” He urged Tan Rou to hurry home, as if his baby sister would be taken away if they stayed here for one more second.
Tan Rou returned with Tao Zheng. Although Tao Zheng’s guess was pretty close, Tan Rou didn’t want to do that right now. She was still a high school student. Even if she had memories of two lifetimes, she was still a high school student. She would have to wait until she was an adult before thinking about it.
She wanted to be on the same level as Zhuang Liu and be on equal footing with him, not to be under his protection.
