128 128 Comparison

Tan Jing saw Tao Qi’s lack of interest, stopped what she was doing, and frowned. “Little Qi, what’s wrong? You don’t like it?”

Tan Jing was getting a little impatient. From the time they were at the school gate just now, Tao Qi’s reaction had exceeded her expectations, which made her unhappy.

When they arrived at the Western restaurant, Tao Qi had also rejected her good intentions multiple times. He had repeatedly said that he didn’t like it here. Now, he even had this expression when he was eating. Tan Jing was extremely annoyed.

Tan Jing was complaining about it secretly inside her heart. This boy was just a country bumpkin who had experienced the world. It was fine if he did not thank her for bringing him to such a place but he was still picky. She had already shown such great sincerity, what else was there to be dissatisfied with?

Tao Qi sharply sensed that Tan Jing was getting a little unhappy. He immediately felt a little uneasy and quickly pretended to like the food. “It’s delicious. I didn’t even have time to say anything. Thank you, Sister Jingjing.”

Seeing Tao Qi’s reaction, Tan Jing felt a little better.

She assumed that Tao Qi might really not be used to coming to this kind of place. The child had not seen the world and was frightened, so there was no need for her to be angry with him. So, she nodded her head, raised her chin slightly, and began to eat in small mouthfuls.

Tao Qi looked at Tan Jing opposite him and felt a little uncomfortable. The steak he didn’t like to eat in the first place now tasted like wax.

The feeling that Sister Jingjing gave him now was a little different. She seemed to be a little high up and difficult to get close to. Although Sister Jingjing’s attitude towards him was much closer than before, touching his head and taking him out for dinner, he always felt that there was something between them. It was unreal, and it made Tao Qi feel a little uncomfortable.

Tao Qi couldn’t understand what had changed. Could it be that Sister Jing Jing was really not his sister since she had returned to her own home?

Why did it seem like he didn’t like this version of Sister Jingjing? He was sitting opposite her in an elegant and high-end Western restaurant, but why did Tan Rou’s face repeatedly appear in his mind?

Tao Qi’s eyes gradually drifted away as he thought of Tan Rou’s focused expression that night, her head lowered as she made him Cola Chicken Wings. The dim yellow light and the fragrance of the chicken wings combined to form a heartwarming picture.

Although Tan Rou’s smile wasn’t as gentle as Sister Jingjing’s, and her expression was always cold and indifferent, it made Tao Qi feel extremely comfortable.

He didn’t have to deliberately say good things to please Tan Rou, nor did he have to hold the knife and fork in a restrained manner. He could directly use his hands to hold the chicken wings, and Tan Rou didn’t laugh at him.

Tao Qi suddenly realized that he was comparing Tan Rou to Sister Jingjing, and then comparing his feelings that night with now. What was wrong with him?

He was clearly angry at Tan Rou after hearing Sister Jingjing’s words just now, but gradually, he began to recall the good things that Tan Rou did for him and started distancing himself from Sister Jingjing.

The little Tao Qi couldn’t understand the reason behind this. He just subconsciously felt that his two older sisters ‘attitude towards him was different from what they showed.

Tan Rou looked cold on the surface and was always fierce, but she really loved Tao Qi from the depths of her heart. Tan Jing, on the other hand, looked gentle and loved him in all ways, but in the depths of her heart, she was disgusted and impatient.

This made Tao Qi fall into a dilemma, and he couldn’t understand the twists and turns of this place in a short time.

However, this was also the reason why Tan Rou allowed Tao Qi to come to Tan Jing even though she knew Tan Jing would say bad things about her.

If she kept Tao Qi at home, Tan Rou would make him obedient sooner or later, but Tao Qi would definitely still think about Tan Jing and even feel guilty about it.

Since that was the case, it was better to let Tao Qi out and spend more time with Tan Jing.

With Tan Rou’s foreshadowing, Tao Qi was no longer as easily misled by Tan Jing as he had been in his previous life.

Tao Qi already had a general impression of Tan Rou, and the time they spent together had also given him a certain understanding of her.

Even if Tao Qi might have been affected in the beginning and listened to Tan Jing after getting along with her, Tao Qi wasn’t a fool. He would think for himself and would definitely compare the two sisters subconsciously.

Then,he would be able to feel who was sincere and who was fake.

Therefore, although Tan Rou was unconvinced and called Tao Qi an idiot, she still went home without any hesitation.

This was because it was useless no matter how hard Tan Rou tried. She should let Tao Qi have a comparison and slowly feel it for himself. Only then would he truly understand who his true sister was.
