Mrs. Tao looked at Tian Tian, who was blushing. She was afraid that Tian Tian would be frightened, so she covered her youngest sonâs mouth and said with a smile, âTian Tian, donât listen to this rascalâs nonsense. We didnât see anything. Moreover, the surveillance cameras here arenât powered. You donât have to worry about being photographed.â
Tian Tian really wanted to say, âAuntie, donât you think that your two sentences are contradictory?â
Auntie Tao just said that she didnât see anything, but at the same time, she said that she didnât have to worry about being captured by the surveillance camera. She didnât want to speak now, lest others hear her nervousness.
âYou guys take your time chatting. Iâll go change my clothes.â Tao Zhi left in a hurry.
Mrs. Tao grabbed her eldest son. âWhy did you go outside to change? Canât you change it at home?â
Tao Zhi wanted to leave this awkward place as soon as possible. âMom, my clothes are all in the car. I donât have any at home.â
âLet Aunt Zhou prepare it for you. You can change here.â Tao Zhiâs mother felt that Tao Zhi wanted to take the opportunity to slip away. If he slipped away, how would he get along with Tian Tian? Mrs. Tao wouldnât let go of such a good opportunity.
âAunt Zhou?â Tian Tian realized that Tan Rou wasnât around. He had forgotten that Aunt Zhou was still at home.
Usually, when Tan Rou was around, Aunt Zhou would cook in the kitchen. When she had nothing to do, she would also clean the room. Tan Rou had gone out today, so Aunt Zhou should be cleaning Tan Ronâs room.
As expected, Aunt Zhou came downstairs when she heard Mrs. Taoâs words. âMadam, do you have any orders?â
âAunt Zhou, do you have any clothes for the young master?â Mrs. Tao asked with a smile.
âGive him one.â
Aunt Zhou answered seriously, âFirst Young Master left a set of clothes here last time. Iâve already packed it. If First Young Master needs it, you can bring it over now.â
Tao Zhi covered his face. âAunt Zhou, thereâs no need to go through so much trouble. Iâll just change outside.â
Mrs. Tao pushed Tao Zhi into the changing room. âItâs so hot outside. Why are you going out? Just change at home.â
Tao Zhi had no choice but to take his clothes into the locker room.
âTiantian, how old are you this year?â Mrs. Tao asked kindly as she pulled Tian Tian to sit on the sofa.
âI only celebrated my 18th birthday during the summer break,â replied Tian Tian.
âOh, oh, then sheâs about the same age as my Xiao Rou.â Mrs. Tao liked Tian Tian very much. âDo you have a boyfriend? Or do you have someone you like?â âAll?â Tian Tian was a little shocked. âAuntie, 1 donât have a boyfriend, and I donât have anyone I like.â
âThatâs great!â Mrs. Tao patted the sofa cushion and calmed down a little. âI mean, you should be able to find a boyfriend at your age.â
âBefore I came to university, Grandpa told me that if I met a boy I liked, I could boldly pursue him,â Tian Tian said shyly. But Iâm too timid to pursue others.
Mrs. Tao felt that Tian Tian was very suitable to be her eldest daughter-in-law. âTian Tian, what do you think of my eldest son?â
âBrother Tao Zhi?â Tian Tian said, âHeâs very gentle and considerate. Every time he comes back, heâll bring us a lot of snacks. If itâs something we donât like to eat, he definitely wonât buy it the second time.â
âDo you like him?â Mrs. Tao asked tentatively.
Tian Tian pursed her lips and nodded. âLi Li also said that Brother Tao Zhi is a very good person. All of us really liked him.â
Mrs. Tao paused. âIâm not talking about that. Iâm talking about something else.â âIs there anything else you like?â Tian Tian asked.
âThatâs rightâ¦â Mrs. Tao rephrased her words. âDo you think heâs suitable to be your boyfriend?â
âIâ¦â Tian Tianâs heartbeat quickened. âI⦠I donât know.â
âMom, what nonsense are you talking about?â Tao Zhi came out after changing his clothes and happened to hear his mother asking about Tian Tianâs âboyfriendâ.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âTian Tian is still young. Donât ask her like that. Sheâll be embarrassed.â
Mrs. Tao apologized, âTiantian, Iâm sorry. Auntie was too direct just now. Would you be made at me for doing so?â
Tian Tian shook her head. âOf course not.â
Mrs. Tao looked at Tao Zhi. âMy boy, do you have a girlfriend?â
Tao Zhi didnât know whether to laugh or cry. âMom, donât you know whether I have a girlfriend or not?â
Mrs. Tao clapped her hands.. âSince one of you doesnât have a boyfriend and the other doesnât have a girlfriend, why donât you two be together?â
