Tan Rou whispered into his ear, âBig Brother, wait for me at the school gate after school in the afternoon. Weâll go somewhere before coming back.â
Tao Zhi didnât ask where she was going and just nodded.
Tao Qi looked at them suspiciously and asked, âWhat are you whispering about?â
Tan Rou raised her eyebrows and smiled evilly. âWe were just discussing buying you more study materials. You can tell us which one you like.â
Although Tao Qi liked to study, he didnât like people buying study materials for him. It was as if they were forcing him to study. He didnât like this feeling.
âNo, no, no!!!!â Tao Qi shook his head faster than a rattle-drum. âI donât need you to buy it for me. If I need it, Iâll buy it myself.â
Tan Rou continued to lie to him. âThatâs it then. Iâm going out to buy some study materials in the afternoon. Tell Mom and Second Brother about this.â Tao Qi nervously asked, âAre you really buying it for me?â
âOf course not.â Tan Rou reached out and ruffled his short hair. âWe wonât force you to do something you donât like.â
Tao Qi pouted. âThatâs more like it. Also, Third Sister, you donât have to touch my head all the time. Touching my head wonât make me tall!â
Tan Rou did not mind and continued to rub his hair. âEveryone in our family is tall. You donât have to worry about being short.â
When school ended in the afternoon, Tao Zhi was already waiting for Tan Rou at the school gate. In order not to be discovered, he even wore sunglasses and a mask, like a celebrity in disguise.
Tan Rou was stunned at the door for a long time before she recognized that the person who was wrapped up tightly and waving at her was her big brother.
âBig Brother, why are you dressed like this?â Tan Rou looked around. âBe careful not to be mistaken as a terrorist by the school security.â
Tao Zhi took off his mask, revealing a face that looked very similar to Tan Rouâs. âIâm afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.â
Tan Rou glanced at the security guard at the door and smiled. âThe security guard has been watching you.â
Tao Zhi quickly took off his mask and sunglasses. âIâm sorry to have troubled you.â
Tan Rou waved at the security guard, indicating that she knew this person. The security guard was relieved when he saw the manâs face. They guessed that the older brother had come to pick up his younger sister, but they were too embarrassed to show their faces.
âLetâs take a taxi.â Tan Rou brought Tao Zhi to the opposite side of the road. âThere are many people after school, so itâs not easy to get one. Letâs walk for a while before getting a taxi.â
Tan Rou was going to take Tao Zhi to Bai Jingâs clinic. She had already told Bai Jing to prepare the medicine. She also wanted to ask Bai Jingâs opinion about her brotherâs hand, but she didnât think she could get much from Bai Jing.
âSo this is your big brother!â Bai Jing stared at Tao Zhi, who was not far away. âHe looks exactly like you!â
Tan Rou said, âYes, among us siblings, I look the most like my big brother!â
Bai Jing nodded slightly. âI roughly understand what youâre talking about, but I donât know much about chemicals. I donât think I can help you, but as long as I have the medicine you need, I will definitely get it for you.â
Tan Rou didnât have much hope. Bai Jing specialized in Traditional Chinese Medicine, so he definitely didnât know much about chemicals. She had brought Tao Zhi here because she had something else to do.
âUncle White, Iâll introduce you to my big brother later. Tell him that youâre my master, that I learned my medical skills from you, and that I got my medical books from you.â Tan Rou instructed.
Bai Jing shook his head. âXiao Rou, how can I be your master?â
âPlease, Uncle Bai. I canât find another master now. Please help me one more time.â Tan Rou said earnestly.
Looking at her sincere gaze, Bai Jing could only compromise. âAlright, but donât let it slip. If your big brother wants me to perform on the spot, you have to stop him.â
Tan Rou smiled and said, âMy big brother wouldnât ask for that.â
âBig brother, Iâm done talking to my master.â Tan Rou called for Tao Zhi.
After Tao Zhi walked in, he stood in front of Bai Jing and respectfully said, âMaster Bai, how have you been?â
Bai Jing felt a little guilty. With Tan Rouâs abilities, he should be calling her master instead.
âGood! Hello!â Bai Jing nodded slightly and hurriedly sent them in. âThe pharmaceutical lab is ready. Do you want to use it now?ââ
âI donât have time today. Iâm just here to get some ingredients. Iâll have to trouble Uncle Bai to prepare the medicinal ingredients I need.â Tan Rou said.
âSure, Iâll find it for you.â Bai Jing replied..
