145 145 A little adoration
Tan Rou couldn’t help but laugh. Tan Jing pretended to be at ease in school, creating a very talented academic image. However, it turned out that she was secretly working hard at home.
Mrs. Tao looked at Tan Rou affectionately. “I’ve never expected you to do very well, as long as you put in the effort. Grades don’t mean everything and a person’s character can’t be measured by grades.”
Tan Rou put down the soup spoon in her hand and walked over to give Mrs. Tao a gentle hug. “I know, mom. Don’t worry. I won’t let Tan Jing disrupt my studies. She’s not that important.”
Mrs. Tao nodded in relief. Tan Jing and the Tan family were indeed nothing to be afraid of, but what Mrs. Tao was most afraid that Tan Rou might be incited by Tan Jing and lose her heart. If that happened, she would subconsciously compete with Tan Jing no matter what she did and she would not be happy no matter what results she got.
However, for Tan Rou, it was easy to beat Tan Jing in all aspects. Tan Jing was not an opponent worthy of respect at all. Tan Rou was just like a cat playing with a mouse, watching Tan Jing bring about her own evil. She would never lose her heart like what Mrs. Tao was worried about.
After Tan Rou returned back to life, her goal was clear.
She would definitely make Tan Jing and the Tan family pay the price. She would definitely make Tan Jing lose everything and have a taste of being deserted by everyone. However, she would definitely not do anything out of line. If she took the initiative to harm others for revenge, then what difference would she be from Tan Jing?
The mother and daughter talked quietly for a moment. Tan Rou had a simple breakfast and was ready to go to school.
Before she left, Tan Rou told Mother Tao, “I’ve specially stir-fried a vegetable dish for Tao Qi to eat when he wakes up. That dish can help with detoxifying the toxins in his body so it suits him most now.”
Mother Tao knew that Tao Qi didn’t like vegetables the most. Since he was young, no matter how she forced him, it didn’t work. So, she could only give up.
Mother Tao felt that Tao Qi definitely wouldn’t eat the vegetables that Tan Rou made, but Tan Rou was being so thoughtful early in the morning. Her intention was very precious.
She didn’t want to disappoint Tan Rou. She didn’t say anything and just nodded in agreement, saying that she would get Tao Qi eat it.
Tan Rou chuckled, waved her hand, and went to school with light steps.
Not long after Tan Rou left, the other members of the family also got up one after another.
In the past, Tao Qi would never have woken up at such a time, not to mention that he was sick last night and his body was weak.
Mother Tao’s heart ached for her child. She originally wanted to let him sleep in, but she didn’t expect Tao Qi to stretch himself and jump downstairs, clamouring for breakfast.
Tao Qi didn’t know what was going on either. In his sleep, there seemed to be a faint medicinal fragrance lingering around him, and the faint smell of herbs entered his nose.
He felt that his body was becoming more and more relaxed, and his consciousness was becoming heavier and heavier. It was rare for him to wake up naturally.
After waking up, he felt refreshed and felt that his body was the same as before, with an endless amount of energy!
Tao Qi noticed that a plate of incense had been placed at the head of the bed at some point, and it was currently emitting the faint smell that he had been particularly fond of in his dream.
Hence, Tao Qi couldn’t wait to ask his mother, “Mom! Where did the incense in my room come from? It’s so good. I had a good sleep last night, and I’m a little man again today!”
Mrs. Tao immediately guessed that Tan Rou must have lit a nerve-soothing incense for Tao Qi after sending him back to his room last night. Her heart was filled with warmth.
She reached out and touched Tao Qi’s forehead. “You really don’t know how blessed you are. That’s the nerve-soothing incense that your sister made herself. You have no idea how much better my sleep quality has been. Your sister cared about you which is why she gave them to you.”
Tao Qi touched his head thoughtfully. “Was she really that powerful? Where did she learn it from? She even did so much acupuncture last night. It’s amazing.”
Mr. Tao walked over with the newspaper and smiled proudly. “Your sister’s medical skills are amazing. It’s a waste of her talent to help you with acupuncture. You should be happy!”
Tao Qi pouted. Although he also thought that Tan Rou’s medical skills were amazing, hearing how his parents praise her like this still made him a little jealous.
He had to admit that Tan Rou was a little powerful! She’s a bad woman with tricks up her sleeves.
Tao Qi thought that Tan Rou was a little strange. Her IQ was so high that she could easily answer the questions on the forum. She was good at cooking and knew medicine. She was simply too well-rounded. Was this woman really his sister?
Tao Qi didn’t want to admit it but he started to admire Tan Rou deep inside his heart.
