169 169 The complaint
Hearing this, Tan Rou blushed slightly. She blinked her big eyes at Zhuang Liu and was speechless for a moment.
What should she reply? I miss you too? She had indeed missed Zhuang Liu when she saw the message in the afternoon. She would be lying if she said she wasn’t delighted when she saw Zhuang Liu waiting at the school gate as soon as she finished school.
Tan Rou’s little face was red and she smiled a little shyly.
Zhuang Liu’s eyes were so sweet that they seemed to be coated with sugar. He looked at Tan Rou tenderly. Neither of them spoke again, but the atmosphere was very thought-provoking. There seemed to be a faint sweetness in the air.
Xiao Mo played the role of a third wheel, pretending to be clueless as he lowered his head to hold back the crazily upturned corners of his mouth.
He was shouting in his heart, ‘Is there anyone who would understand him?! Look at how useless the third young master is right now!!!!’
There was a large crowd at the school gate after school. Seeing more and more people looking over, Tan Rou was the first to look away and get into the car.
Z huang Liu considerately helped Tan Rou adjust her seat and asked in a low voice, “How did you do? I’m guessing that you enjoyed it?”
Tan Rou pouted. The things that happened in school weren’t worth her time and effort. It had already been resolved. In the face of other people’s admiration and concern, Tan Rou didn’t feel a thing and wasn’t even bothered by it emotionally
But, as soon as Zhuang Liu raised the question and along with how Tan Rou was in a good mood, she unconsciously revealed a girlish attitude and whispered, “I was wronged by this devil and it was so annoying!”
Even Tan Rou didn’t realize that she sounded a little coquettish when she said that.
Zhuang Liu rarely saw Tan Rou like this and was stunned for a moment. When he heard what Tan Rou said, he knew that something must have happened that made her impatient. He frowned slightly and cursed secretly in his heart, ‘which blind idiot is this that has the audacity to irritate Tan Rou and make themselves known?’
Tan Rou didn’t want their relationship to be too public and that was because she was independent and was being considerate. Of course, he had to cooperate but did those people really think he didn’t exist?
Zhuang Liu was a little annoyed. He didn’t like the idea of how any random person could piss off Tan Rou but in front of her, he was still gentle and considerate. He patted Tan Rou’s arm and asked in a soft voice, “What’s wrong? Can you tell me about it?”
At this time, Xiao Mo had already gotten into the car and quietly became the driver again.
He glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed that although Zhuang Liu looked calm and gentle, his hand on his lap was curled up slightly. Zhuang Liu’s index finger and thumb were pinched together and he began to rub them in circles. Xiao Mo knew that this was a small gesture Zhuang Liu made when he was annoyed and wanted to cause trouble.
Tan Rou trusted Zhuang Liu very much. She didn’t even have time to ask where Zhuang Liu was taking her and tacitly agreed to his arrangement.
As if she was telling a story, she directly treated what happened in school during the day as gossip and started to talk to Zhuang Liu intermittently.
As Zhuang Liu listened, a storm gathered in his eyes. He couldn’t imagine how Tan Rou had fought alone during the day. Wei Ling and Wang Li must have eaten a bear’s heart and leopard’s guts to wrongly accuse Xiao Rou.
After Tan Rou finished speaking, she saw that Zhuang Liu’s expression was much more solemn than before. She felt much better for a moment. She didn’t know why but when Zhuang Liu got angry, she felt happy. It was because Zhuang Liu cared about her.
Zhuang Liu touched Tan Rou’s head and said in a gentle but dangerous tone, “Don’t worry about it. I’ll handle it. Just focus on your exams and enjoy school.”
Tan Rou tilted her head and looked at Zhuang Liu, who was obviously a little angry. “I’m fine, really. I just wanted to chat with you. The two of them have been punished by the principal. They can’t do anything to me with their insignificant skills. I took the exam as usual this afternoon and I did a great job!”
Zhuang Liu laughed and looked at Tan Rou affectionately. He didn’t want to move his hand away from her head, so he rubbed it again. “Rourou is the best. You’re so smart. No one can beat you.”
Tan Rou chuckled as well. “So, I really don’t need you to do anything for me. You make me look like a primary school student who went home to complain to his parents. I’ve already punished them. I just wanted to casually chat with you since you asked about school.”
