449 A Meal

After Zhuang Liu entered, he took the initiative to sit on the left side of Tan Rou. Normally, he wouldn't be able to sit in this position, but coincidentally, the Tao brothers weren't here today.1

Today was Saturday, so Tan Rou didn't have to go to school. Since Tan Rou didn't have to go to school, Tao Zhi didn't have to pick her up from school. As for Tao Zheng and Tao Qi? The two of them went to buy books.

Tao Qi's school required him to buy a set of extra-cursory reference books, but the version that the teacher requested was very rare, so Tao Zheng took Tao Qi out early in the morning to look for books and had not returned until now.

Mr. Tao usually didn't go home for lunch. His workplace was quite far away, and his lunch break was short. He didn't have time to go home for lunch.

Since they weren't around, Zhuang Liu had it easy. After he entered the door, he sat directly on Tan Rou's left, while the seat on Tan Rou's right was reserved for Mrs. Tao.

 "Oh my god, I finally bought this set of books." The moment Tao Zheng entered the door, he started to complain about Tao Qi. "You really made me speechless. You actually remembered the title of the book wrongly, causing us to drive around half the Urban area."

Tao Qi saw Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu sitting together and automatically ignored his second brother's words. He didn't even change his shoes and directly flew to Tan Rou's side.

 "Third Sister, Third Brother, I'm back." Tao Qi said with a smile.

 When Tao Zheng, who was changing his shoes, heard the name 'Third Brother,' he quickly turned around and saw a table of people sitting in the dining room, looking at him at the entrance.

 "Uh..." Tao Zheng was stunned for three seconds before he slowly stood up and waved.

 "Let me introduce them to you. These are my classmates. They are guests at our house today." Tan Rou said, 

"This is my second brother."

 After Tao Zheng changed his shoes, he came over to greet them. "Hello, everyone. Sit down and eat first. I'll wash my hands and come over."

 Liang Lu's gaze followed Tao Zheng until they walked into the washroom. She then said to Tan Rou, "Is that your brother? He's so handsome!"

She knew that she was going to die of envy for Tan Rou. Not only was she good-looking and very rich, but she also had handsome older brothers and a cute younger brother.

 "Actually, our eldest is the most handsome, but he had to work overtime today, so he didn't make it back in time. You might be able to see him next time."

 Liang Lu was very excited after hearing that. "Can I come to your house as a guest next time?"

 "Of course!" Mrs. Tao was very hospitable. "We welcome you at any time."

 "Thank you, Auntie." Liang Lu said gratefully.

 After Tao Zheng washed his hands, he pushed Tao Qi, who was sitting on Tan Rou's right, out of the way. "Xiao Qi, did you not wash your hands when you came back? Hurry up and wash your hands."

 Tao Qi protected his seat with all his might. "I don't want to wash my hands. If I do, you'll definitely snatch my seat away. I'm not giving up my seat to you."

 Tao Zheng pulled Tao Qi up without any explanation. "If you don't wash your hands, you're a dirty child. A dirty child can't sit beside Xiao Rou."

 Tao Qi was a little convinced by him, but he didn't want to lose this good seat. After all, there were only two seats beside his sister. Usually, he didn't have the chance to sit. Now that he had the chance to sit, he didn't want to leave.

 Tan Rou said, "Xiao Qi, quickly go wash your hands. If you eat without washing your hands, you'll get diarrhea."

 Since his sister had spoken, Tao Qi could only go over and wash his hands. When he came back, he could only sit beside Tao Zheng.

Mrs. Tao looked at the interaction between them and smiled happily at the guests. "I'm sorry that they've made a fool out of themselves. They usually fight to sit with Rourou at home. I didn't expect them to make a scene today."

 "They have a good relationship." As the only child, Lu Qing said with some distress.

 "Hurry up and eat! I didn't know what you guys liked to eat, so I prepared some for you guys." Mrs. Tao hurriedly urged when she saw the listless boy.

 Tan Rou loved prawns, so the two plates of prawns were placed in front of her from the beginning but she didn't like to peel shrimps, so Zhuang Liu had to do it.

Zhuang Liu had eaten with Tan Rou a few times before he realized that Tan Rou liked having prawns but did not like peeling them. Therefore, he swore in his heart that he would peel prawns for Tan Rou for the rest of his life.
