Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After leaving Bai Jing’s place, Tan Ron went to a large spice shop nearby to buy some spices.
Tao Zhi looked at the time and asked, “Will it delay your afternoon class?”
Tan Rou said, “I have to prepare your medicine as soon as possible and I also need to replenish the ingredients for the incense pills. I’ll buy them together today. There was no need to worry about classes in the afternoon. It’ll be fine. I just have to skip one afternoon’s nap.”
“Oh, okay.” Tao Zhi followed her. “Let me know if you need anything. I’ll carry it for you.”
Tan Rou wanted to buy more spices. Now that her mother had prepared a studio for her, she could buy as many things as she wanted.
“Alright, then help me carry some later.” Tan Rou said as she headed for the spice shop.
Since Tan Rou came here often, the things she needed were quickly packed.
“Let’s go outside and take a taxi.” Tan Rou said.
Tao Zhi held the spices in both hands and followed her. “Alright. Whatever you need.”
As they walked, a familiar and annoying voice suddenly came from behind them.
“Big brother, it really is you! When did you come back?” Tan Jing carried her school bag and jogged over.
Tan Rou looked at her school bag and found it strange. Didn’t Tan Jing drop out of school? Why was she still carrying her school bag? Could it be that she found another school to attend for the time being? That was not right. With the Tan family’s status, even if they wanted to find a tuition class, they would have to stayed home for it.
When Tao Zhi saw Tan Jing, he was stunned for a few seconds before he remembered who she was. “Don’t call me big brother. I’m not familiar with you.”
His tone was extremely cold.
Tan Jing paused and said sadly, “Big Brother, I’m Jingjing. Don’t you recognize me?”
Of course, Tao Zhi knew her. Not only did he know her, but he also hated her very much. He didn’t like this sister of his to begin with. Now that he thought about it, there was a reason. It was because Tan Jing wasn’t his biological sister.
Moreover, after he returned, he heard about how the Tan family and Tan Jing bullied his biological sister, so he hated Tan Jing even more.
“I don’t know her.” Tao Zhi hooked his arm around Tan Rou’s
shoulder. “Rourou, let’s go.”
Tan Rou looked at Tan Jing in surprise. Why was this person here? Could it be that she had followed them here? “Didn’t you drop out of school and stay at home?” Tan Rou asked with a frown.
“What are you doing here?”
Tan Jing glared at her and said angrily, “What does it have to do with you?”
Tao Zhi stood in front of Tan Rou and angrily said, “How can you talk to my sister like that?”
Tan Jing said with a hurt expression, “Big Brother, am I not your sister? I’ve also called you Big Brother for seventeen years!”
Although she looked like she was heartbroken, she was actually cursing Tan Rou in her heart. Tan Rou must have said something to Tao Zhi. Otherwise, Tao Zhi wouldn’t have spoken to her like this.
“I’m sorry, but you’re not my sister.” Tao Zhi used his hand that was carrying something to hold Tan Rou. “Rourou, let’s go. Mom and Dad are still waiting for us to go back for dinner.”
Tan Jing stood in front of them. After resting for some time, she could finally walk but still had trouble running.
“Wait, wait, big brother!” Tan Jing panted heavily and said, “I have something to say to you… Big brother, no matter when, you will always be my big brother!”
Tao Zhi was puzzled. Their relationship wasn’t good in the past. Why did Tan Jing suddenly act like she was deeply in love with him?
“Big Brother, Mom is waiting for us. Let’s go!” Tan Rou urged.
Tao Zhi didn’t waste any more time with Tan Jing. “Tan Jing, I’m not your big brother anymore. Don’t call me that anymore.”
The siblings sped up and left. Tan Jing’s legs were not fully recovered yet and could not keep up with them. Tan Jing had noticed them at the school gate just now, but she was a little slow and did not catch up with them.
She followed behind them in a taxi and found them when she saw the taxi driving out of the vicinity. As soon as she entered, she saw Tan Rou and the others coming out of the spice shop.
“Spices…?” Tan Jing looked up at the spice shop. Was Tan Rou making incense? Coincidentally, there was an announcement at the entrance for an apprentice. After thinking for a while, she walked in. She could do what Tan Rou could do. Since she wasn’t going to school now, she could come over and learn how to make incense. She would definitely learn faster than Tan Rou..
