109 109 Call her sister
Tan Rou smiled with satisfaction and continued, “Alright, I’ll move on to the second request.”
Tao Qi hurriedly interrupted him. “You only have one request! Why is there a second one?! You’re cheating!”
Tan Rou pretended to be disappointed and sighed. “I wanted to help you with a few of the questions that you couldn’t answer as a reward and make another small request. I didn’t expect you to be so unwilling to learn more things. Forget it then, let those problems stay there and keep your grades to yourself!”
These words immediately hit Tao Qi’s sore spot. He naturally wanted to know how to solve those questions. If he didn’t have a strong desire for knowledge, Tao Qi wouldn’t have found this forum at such a young age.
There were only answers in the test paper, no analysis. If he wanted to understand it, he had to rely on his own research but Tan Rou, who had scored full marks, was like a living Encyclopaedia standing in front of Tao Qi.
Tao Qi hesitated for a moment, but he still couldn’t hold back. “Then … I’ll agree to one more condition, but are you sure that you are going to teach me?”
Tan Rou’s eyes narrowed. “It’s true.”
Tao Qi felt like he was signing an agreement that was humiliating the country. He backed down again and again, but he really wanted to figure out how those questions were solved.
Thus, Tao Qi nodded his head in vain. “Fine!” He looked so sad as if he had betrayed himself to Tan Rou. He complained in his heart. He knew that this bad woman wouldn’t let him off so easily. She made a strange small request and then continued to seduce him. This time, she was definitely going to make things difficult for him!
Sure enough, Tan Rou smiled like a little fox. She raised her eyebrows with a smirk. “You’d have to call me your sister!”
Tao Qi jerked his head up, his eyes wide. “What? That was impossible! I will never acknowledge you as my sister!”
Tan Rou shrugged her shoulders. “No one forced you to admit it. I just wanted you to call me sister. If you don’t want to, then forget it. Sigh, it’s a pity that I’m doing this out of good intentions. That’s right, those questions are too difficult for you. It’s fine if you don’t want to learn them!”
Tao Qi stomped his feet anxiously, glared at Tan Rou. Then, he turned to look at his laptop, feeling conflicted.
Tan Rou pretended to walk out of the room. Just as she put her hand on the doorknob, she heard Tao Qi’s sobbing voice behind her. “I’ll agree to it! I will call you my sister!”
Tan Rou calmly turned around and didn’t say anything. She only raised her chin, indicating for Tao Qi to address her as his sister.
Tao Qi’s eyes reddened as he cursed himself for being so disappointing. He had lost to Tan Rou and was even tempted by her conditions. He had let Sister Jingjing down. This was a betrayal!
The young boy was pure hearted. He was sad about his decision for a long time before he took a few deep breaths and closed his eyes. “Big sister.”
Tan Rou snorted in dissatisfaction. “Is that all you’ve got? I can’t hear anything at all, it’s like the sound of a mosquito.”
Tao Qi looked aggrieved and ashamed. He secretly swore that although he called Tan Rou “big sister,” he would never admit that this cunning and evil woman was his big sister!
It was just a form of address. He wanted to learn more skills so that he could defeat her in the future! It’s no big deal!
Tao Qi gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. He clenched his fists and shouted, “Big sister!” After shouting that, she didn’t dare to open her eyes. He looked heartbroken and pouted his little mouth, wanting to cry but there were no tears.
Tan Rou laughed and agreed, “I’m here! Hahaha!”
Tao Qi couldn’t take it anymore. He jogged to the bed and hid himself under the blanket. He shouted, “Don’t go too far! Stop laughing! Get out!”
Tan Rou wiped the tears from her eyes and nodded in satisfaction. “Okay, I won’t laugh anymore.”
Afraid that she would push Tao Qi too far, Yan Rou knew when to stop. She cleared her throat and said, “Next time, I’ll come to explain questions to you at night. You should rest early, my good brother.” After saying that, she left the room in a flash.
As soon as Tan Rou closed the door, she heard a pillow-like object smash against the door, accompanied by Tao Qi’s scream.
Tan Rou shook her head and laughed. She, the bad woman, had won the first episode of the battle of wits against her brother. Tonight could be said to be fruitful!
After such a long time, the sky was already dark. Tan Rou returned to her room, picked up the spices that she hadn’t finished before dinner, and continued to work.
Whether it was the true identity of the Tao family or Tan Jing using Tao Qi to deal with her, all of these were already happening quietly. Tan Rou understood that all she could do was to maintain on her original path and not be affected by other factors.
No matter what happened, she just had to face it calmly.
