Tan Rou had to go to the library this weekend, so Mother Tao asked Tao Zheng to drive her. Coincidentally, he had bought a new car a while ago, but Tao Zheng had something else to do, so Mother Tao assigned this task to Tao Zhi.
Tan Rou also wanted to get closer with her big brother, so she walked towards Tao Zhi and smiled.
A drop of sweat appeared on Tao Zhiâs forehead as he stammered, âIâ¦â I⦠I havenât been back for a long time, so I donât know the way.â
âItâs fine, Xiao Rou knows the way.'ââ
Tan Rou was a little puzzled. Could it be that her big brother was unwilling to send her?
âItâs okay. Iâll take the bus myself,â Tan Rou said considerately.
Mrs. Tao frowned. âItâs getting cold. Itâs too cold to wait for the bus!â
âThen Iâll send her there.â Tao Qi raised his hand and asked, âI donât mind going there with my sister!!â
Tan Rou laughed. âIf I go alone, Iâll be alone in the cold wind. If we go together, weâll become two popsicles in the cold wind.â
âIâll goâ¦â Tao Zhi stood up and said, âGive me the car keys. Iâll send her there.â
Tan Rou didnât want to make things difficult for him. âI can take the bus.â
âLetâs go!â Tao Zhi got up from the ground.
Tan Rou was still observing her brotherâs expression and movements as she walked to the car. She noticed that he had a firm expression on his face and his movements were very stiff. His arms were even trembling slightly.
Tan Rou was puzzled. Was her brother so afraid of her? Why did he shake so much while driving?
Sitting in the car, Tao Zhi kept persuading himself not to be nervous, not to care about the pain in his hand, not toâ¦
âBig brother, whatâs wrong? Why are your hands shaking?â Tan Rou asked.

Tao Zhi didnât know how to tell his sister. He was afraid that his family would worry about him. After all, he didnât leave his job voluntarily. He was forced to leave.
At first, he didnât like this confidential job, but as he did it, he started taking a liking to it. He also was very happy to see what he had personally benefiting mankind butâ¦
Tao Zhi looked at his trembling hands on the steering wheel, and the pain in his heart surged.
âBig brother.â Tan Rou boldly placed her hand on the back of Tao Zhiâs hand. âWhy are you shaking?â
âNothing?â Tao Zhi quickly withdrew his hand.
âBig brother, did you injure your hands?â Tan Rou asked in a deep voice.
Tao Zhi looked very flustered. âItâs nothing.â
âDonât lie to me,â Tan Rou grabbed his hand back. âIâm a doctor. You saw it when I checked Grandmaâs pulse. You canât lie to me.â
Tao Zhi put his hand back and admitted, âI did.â
Tan Ronâs expression turned ugly. âWhat happened to your hand?â
âIt was an accident.â Tao Zhi lowered his head and said, âWhen I was working, the chemical leaked and got on my hands. My gloves didnât work, so I have lost all sense of touch on my hands. I recovered a little, but I couldnât pick up anything delicate anymore.â
Tan Rou was puzzled. âWhy didnât the gloves work? The tools used in a chemical factory should have been up to standard. How could there be useless gloves?â
âMy gloves were⦠they were replaced.â Tao Zhi frowned and said, âAlthough the gloves I used were exactly the same as the previous ones, they reacted with the chemical. The gloves melted when it came into contact with the chemical.
Tan Rou closed her eyes. âBrother, do you believe me?â
Tao Zhi smiled bitterly. âOf course I believe you. Youâre my sister. Who else should I believe if not you?â
âIâll help you with it. If you trust me, let me treat you,â Tan Rou said firmly.
Tao Zhi was tongue-tied for a long time.
Tan Rou thought that he didnât believe her. She quickly said, âBrother, Iâve been treating mom and grandma. There are also a few friends of mine who are also gradually recovering under my treatment.â
âNo.â Tao Zhi shook his head. âItâs not that I donât believe you. Itâs just that the doctor said that my hand canât be saved. You donât have to waste any more time.â
âI can do it.â Tan Rou smiled. âItâs just a hand injury. I can treat it. Let me help you.â
Tao Zhi looked at his sisterâs determined gaze and nodded..
