Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Tao Zhi had been coming to Tan Ron’s place frequently because he had to deal with Lan Ning’s matters. He needed Lan Ning’s opinion on many things, so he came here more often.
However, after Lan Ning left, Tao Zhi would still come here and bring a lot of snacks every time.
“Hey, aren’t Xiao Ron and the others here?” When Tao Zhi entered, he did not see Tian Tian watching television in the living room.
Tian Tian replied, “Rourou and Li Li went to a class reunion. They said that there’s a class reunion this afternoon. It’s organized by their high school classmates. They said that they want to unite their classmates in the Capital city and have fun together.”
“Oh.” Tao Zhi put down the things he bought. “1 bought some snacks. Come and have some.”
Tian Tian felt very embarrassed. “Brother Tao Zhi, every time you come over, you bring so many snacks and then 1 would be the one that finishes most of them.”
Tao Zhi smiled. “1 bought these to eat. Rourou doesn’t like snacks anyway. I bought them for you.”
Tian Tian’s hand that was about to take the snacks paused. She asked shyly, “Brother Tao Zhi, did you buy the snacks especially for me?”
“Yeap.” Tao Zhi said frankly, “Rourou said that you like cakes, so 1 bought a lot of cakes. They are easy to digest. Even if you eat a lot, you won’t gain weight.” “Brother Tao Zhi, do you think I’m fat?” Tian Tian asked sadly as she touched her chubby face.
“You’re not fat at all!” Tao Zhi said urgently, “I think you look very good like this. You look very cute.”
Tian Tian pursed her lips. “Why do you all say that I’m cute? It’s fine if Rourou and Li Lisay that I’m cute, but why does Brother Tao Zhi also say that I’m cute? Also, I heard from others that if a person wants to say that a girl is ugly, he won’t say it directly. He will euphemistically say that the girl is cute because he can’t think of any other adjectives other than cute.”
Tao Zhi hurriedly explained, “Tian Tian, don’t misunderstand. 1 really didn’t say that you’re ugly. 1 just think that you’re very cute from the bottom of my heart! If you don’t believe me, I can swear an oath!”
Tian Tiantan suddenly laughed. “Hehe, 1 was just joking. Brother Tao Zhi, please don’t take it to heart.”
Tao Zhi heaved a sigh of relief. He almost thought that Tian Tian was going to cry because of this sentence. But was Tian Tian telling the truth? He was embarrassed to say that a girl was ugly, but he said that she was cute?
Tao Zhi, who was eager to learn, went to search and found that there was indeed such a saying. However, Tao Zhi felt that this was not right. If some girls were really born cute, wouldn’t they be very sad when they heard this?
Just like Tian Tian, Tao Zhi truly felt that Tian Tian was very cute and praised her from the bottom of his heart. However, Tian Tian misunderstood him.
“I apologize to you. I won’t say that you’re cute next time.” Tao Zhi took the prettiest cake and gave it to Tian Tian. “Can I say that you’re pretty next time?”
Tian Tian took the cake and smiled widely. “Brother Tao Zhi, you don’t have to apologize. I really didn’t mean to blame you for what 1 said just now.”
“That’s good.” Tao Zhi placed all the cakes he had bought in front of Tian Tian. “Rourou and the others aren’t here, so these cakes are all yours.”
“Thank you, Brother Tao Zhi!” Tian Tian happily ate the cake and watched her favorite TV series.
Tao Zhi was also sitting on the sofa. He wanted to wait for Tan Rou to come back, so the two of them sat on either side. One was eating and watching TV, and the other was working on a tablet.
Tao Zhi felt that the room was so quiet that he could even hear his own heartbeat. He stole a glance at Tian Tian and realized that she was smiling. When she smiled, two dimples would appear on her face, which was very cute.
“Brother Tao Zhi, why are you looking at me?” Tian Tian asked when she noticed Tao Zhi’s gaze.
“Is there something on my face?” She quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe her face. “Did the cream get on your face?”
Tao Zhi quickly turned his head. His heart was beating very fast. “No, there’s no cream on your face.”
“Oh… okay.” Tian Tian took a small bite of the cake and continued watching TV.
However, she was no longer in the mood to watch TV. She was thinking about why Tao Zhi was staring at her like that just now.. If it wasn’t because of the cream on her face, then what was it?
