When they were tired, they found a clean patch of grass and sat cross-legged across from each other. Tan Rou suddenly stretched out her palms towards Zhuang Liu. Zhuang Liu also understood and stretched out his palms.
“We’re like heroes who practice martial arts in martial arts novels.” Tan Rou smiled.
Zhuang Liu said, “Why do 1 remember that those two people took off their clothes to practice?”
Tan Rou blushed and pulled her hand out. “Third Brother, you are getting bolder. I thought you were a cold and aloof person. 1 didn’t expect your brain to be filled with yellow trash.”
“You’ve already kissed me so many times. Are you still feeling shy?” Zhuang Liu asked.
Tan Rou glared at him. “I’m not shy.”
Zhuang Liu moved to her side and sat shoulder to shoulder with her. “Rourou, where do you want to go after the results are out? I’ll go with you.”
“Do you have time?” Tan Rou asked.
Zhuang Liu said, “1 can finish my work first and then go out with you.”
Tan Rou knew that Zhuang Liu had been working hard, so she did not want him to be so tired, so she changed the topic. “Third Brother, have you settled the company matters in the capital? Is Grandpa Zhuang feeling better?”
Hearing Tan Rou mention Old Master Zhuang, Zhuang Liu’s expression suddenly became a little lonely. He shook his head and said, “Grandpa’s condition hasn’t improved. I thought he could live for another 20 years. I didn’t expect the illness to come so quickly.”
Three months ago, Old Master Zhuang went to the prison to visit Zhuang Shang and his son. Zhuang Shang had lost a lot of weight. Old Master Zhuang saw this and felt pain in his heart. He had raised the child for more than 40 years. How could he not feel sad?
Ever since he returned, Old Master Zhuang had been depressed. One day, he accidentally fell while walking alone. When the butler found him, he had already fallen unconscious.
The butler immediately called for the family doctor. At his age, it was very easy for him to fall sick, so the family doctor was stationed at the Zhuang family’s house 24/7 and was on call.
Even though the family doctor came very quickly, he had already missed the best time to save Old Master Zhuang. Old Master Zhuang survived, but he was in a coma for half a month before he woke up.
Zhuang Liu looked at his grandfather who was lying on the hospital bed and felt very regretful. He should not have been angry with Old Master Zhuang. If he had not been angry and not moved out, Old Master Zhuang might not have been so depressed and would not have fallen.
Tan Rou had also gone to visit Old Master Zhuang, but his bodily functions had deteriorated so much that it was difficult to make up for it.
Zhuang Liu told Tan Rou that Old Master Zhuang had paid a huge price for the development of the Zhuang family before the new year. He had overdrawn his body, so that he was not in good health when he turned 80. Otherwise, he would not be in a hurry to choose the next head of the family.
Most importantly, Old Master Zhuang had been agitated by the things that his third son had done. Deep in his heart, he did not want to believe that Zhuang Shang had done so many bad things. His conflicted mind kept stimulating his nerves, causing his health to deteriorate.
Tan Rou could cure many illnesses, but she couldn’t cure mental illnesses.
“Don’t be too sad. Grandpa Zhuang will definitely recover.” Tan Rou comforted.
“Oh, how is my father’s condition?” Zhuang Liu asked. “If he could wake up, perhaps his grandfather’s condition would improve.”
“I’ve already put the medicine to nourish his body. As long as we can make the antidote, Uncle Zhuang will wake up immediately.” Tan Rou promised, “I’ll definitely make the antidote in these two months.”
Zhuang Liu believed Tan Rou. “Just try your best. Don’t make things too difficult for yourself.”
Tan Rou knew that Zhuang Liu was in pain. Although Zhuang Liu looked cold, he was actually a person who cared about his family very much. His father and grandfather were lying on the hospital bed at the same time. It must have been a huge blow to him.
“Hug you.” Tan Rou reached out and wrapped her arms around Zhuang Liu. “Trust me. I will definitely try me best.”
Zhuang Liu closed his eyes and enjoyed Tan Ron’s embrace. The warm body temperature and the familiar fragrance of flowers and trees made him feel much better.
After he recovered emotionally, Zhuang Liu brought Tan Rou to eat. Although there were many snacks prepared in the room, snacks could only be used for entertainment and could not be eaten as food. Moreover, they did not eat much just now.
“The food here is very good. Xiao Rou can order a few more to try.” Zhuang Liu suggested.
Tan Rou was worried too much. “Don’t order too much or else we wouldn’t be able to finish them.”
Zhuang Liu smiled and said, “You’ll know why 1 asked you to order more dishes in a while..”
