Zhuang Liu retracted his gaze and continued to gently wipe Tan Rou’s sweat. He still did not say a word. The entire room was so quiet that not a single sound could be heard.

Lu Qing suddenly understood why Tan Rou had chosen Zhuang Liu to wipe her sweat. They had a tacit understanding. When one applied the needles, the other would wipe away her sweat. Even if they didn’t speak, they cooperated perfectly. Besides, acupuncture required a quiet environment, and an assistant who did not ask questions was very important.

Half an hour later, all the treatments were over. After Tan Rou removed the silver needles, she collapsed on the chair beside her.

“Xiao Rou, are you alright?” Zhuang Liu continued to wipe her sweat.

Tan Rou shook her head at him. “I’m fine. I just need to rest for a while.”

Old Master Lu found it unbelievable. He felt much better after the treatment. At first, he was skeptical, but now he completely believed that this teenage girl had the ability to cure him.

“Thank you so much. 1 really don’t know how to thank you.” Old Master Lu said excitedly.

Tan Rou took a few deep breaths and sat up straight. “Then you should drink less. The lesser you drink, the less tired 1’11 be. I’ve put in a lot of effort to help you recover to your original state today.”

When Lu Qing heard Tan Rou’s words, he said seriously, “Grandpa, why are you drinking again? Didn’t the doctor tell you not to touch any alcohol?”

Old Master Lu looked apologetic. “I just couldn’t help but drink a little.”

“Not even a little!” Lu Qing’s attitude was very firm. “From today onwards, all the wine will be locked in the cellar. Don’t even think about getting a cup of it.”

Old Master Lu knew that he was in the wrong and did not argue. “Alright, 1 understand.”

Tan Rou was really tired. After sitting for a while, she leaned back in her chair. Lu Qing saw how tired she was and thought that she was probably hungry, so he asked someone to bring food over.

“Tan Rou, do you want to eat some…” Lu Qing brought a plate of snacks over.

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Zhuang Liu. Zhuang Liu took off his coat and gently covered Tan Rou. Then, he glanced at Lu Qing and sneered.

The plate in Lu Qing’s hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Why was he always one step slower than Zhuang Liu?

Old Master Lu saw this and was anxious in his heart. His grandson was really stupid. He was always one step behind in everything. How could he please girls like this?

Zhuang Liu was guarding Tan Rou by her side. Lu Qing wanted to go over too, but once he went over, Zhuang Liu would show an expression that looked like he wanted to eat someone up. He was like a lion that was circling its territory, making him afraid to approach.

Tan Rou woke up after resting for half an hour. She took off the coat and handed it to Zhuang Liu. She said, “It’s almost time. We should go over and meet Li Li and the class monitor. If we delay any longer, it’ll be lunchtime soon.”

“Stay here for lunch.” Lu Qing finally found a chance to show off. “There’s a lot of food prepared at home. There must be something you like to eat.”

Tan Rou didn’t want to stay for lunch. “There’s no need for that., 1 still have to go home at noon.“

“Young Master Lu, you don’t have to worry about it.” Zhuang Liu added.

Lu Qing’s hatred for Zhuang Liu grew. ’Xiao Rou, Xiao Rou?’ Zhunag Liu was calling her so affectionately. Did he really think that they were biological siblings? Lu Qing really hoped that they were biological siblings so that they could never be together.

By the time Tan Rou and the others arrived, Xu Yan had already finished paper. Li Li still had a big question left, along with a multiple-choice question.

“Xiao Rou, you’re finally here. I thought you abandoned us,” Li Li said.

“How is that possible?” Tan Rou laughed. “We’re just talking to Old Master Lu.”

Li Li understood. Her deskmate was smart and capable. Perhaps she was here to discuss business with the Lu family. She could not delay Rourou’s business.

“Your answer to this question is wrong.” Tan Rou found a mistake with a glance. “Although the formula is correct, there was a deviation when you calculated it. Also, did you bring in the wrong value when you added it again?”

Li realized her mistake. She put her palms together and said, “Thank you!”

After Xu Yan heard that, he also came over with the test paper. “Tan Rou, can you help me take a look at this?” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“1’11 take a look. Xiao Rou, you go do your thing.” Zhuang Liu took Xu Yan’s test paper. What a joke. How could he let Tan Rou teach other boys questions?

“Can you even understand it?” Xu Yan asked.

Tan Rou suddenly laughed. “Are you looking down on my Third Brother? The third brother is a top student who obtained a double degree at the age of 19! Back then, he participated in more physics competitions than we did.”

Tan Rou was exaggerating, but most of it was in line with Zhuang Liu’s achievements.

“Our Rourou is also a great student. She’ll definitely be better than me in the future,” Zhuang Liu boasted.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled..
