Tan Rou went to fetch Tao Qi back. The family had a happy meal. No one mentioned Grandpa Tao’s health problems. On such a happy day, there was no need to mention such sad things.
At night, Tan Rou returned to her house in the university town. Tian Tian had stopped living with her after she got married, but they still lived in the same neighborhood. Tian Tian and Tao Zhi lived upstairs next door.
This wasn’t Tao Zhi’s official residence, but it was more convenient for his newlywed wife to go to school. Tao Zhi had always lived here and could send his wife and sister to school every morning.
However, Zhuang Liu didn’t give Tao Zhi this chance. How could he miss the time he spent with Tan Rou?
“I met Xue Lin at the hospital the day before yesterday.” On the way to school, Tan Rou said to Zhuang Liu, “I thought she was dead. I didn’t expect her to still be alive. She was so badly injured at that time. It’s a miracle that she survived.”
“The Lin Family is still quite powerful,” said Zhuang Liu. “As long as Xue Lin has a chance to survive, they will save her.” It’s just that I heard that she’s very seriously injured and hasn’t come out to see anyone for a long time.”
Tan Rou nodded. “Although I didn’t see her face, I saw the wounds on her hands. They were all old scars. It was very scary. I remember that when Shang Jin was injured, she also refused to see anyone. Xue Lin was brave enough to go out.”
Zhuang Liu agreed. “Yes. When I was disabled, I didn’t want to meet people. I didn’t like how they looked at me which was why I never left my room.”
Tan Rou snorted. “I was going to help her as long as she was willing to pay but she pushed the blame of her injury onto me and insisted that I caused the explosion. It’s too ridiculous.”
Zhuang Liu wasn’t too happy either. “Rourou, you’re already very tired. Don’t take on those useless things. Xue Lin’s injuries are more serious and she is vengeful. If you don’t have time to treat her, or if you don’t treat her, she will definitely cause you trouble.”
Tan Rou had the same concern, so she didn’t say that she could help Xue Lin. Fortunately, she didn’t say anything. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have heard Xue Lin’s sincere words.
The two of them walked to the campus. The greenery here was better. There were tall parasol trees on both sides. They could smell the fragrance of the trees as they walked under the trees.
Tan Rou picked up a green leaf from the ground and gave it to Zhuang Liu.
“The first leaf in the morning is for Air Liu.”
Zhuang Liu laughed. “These leaves are no longer fresh.”
“Shall I pick a fresh one for you?” Tan Rou asked.
Zhuang Liu didn’t agree. “Forget it. The leaves are growing well. Let’s not pick them.”
The two of them talked as they walked. Tan Rou suddenly felt that everyone on campus was looking at her and Zhuang Liu. Could it be that her intention to pick the leaves had been discovered by others?
Zhuang Liu also noticed the gazes of the other students. He smiled and teased Tan Rou, “Rourou, someone must have heard you picking the leaves just now. Otherwise, they wouldn’t look at you like this.”
Tan Rou also smiled. “I don’t think so. I haven’t plucked it yet, and I was just teasing you. I didn’t really want to pluck that leaf.”
However, the others were still looking at them and saying something.
“Is it that senior? She’s quite beautiful. I didn’t expect her to be so cruel!” A freshman who had just entered school said, “I heard that that senior is very powerful. I wanted to pay her a visit. But now, I don’t dare to. If I offend her, she might blow me up.”
Another student said, “Don’t say that anymore. I heard that she has a very powerful background. If we say anything, we’ll definitely be in trouble.”
The two students hurried away, but there were still others coming to see them.
“Hey, did you guys see the post on the school forum?” Someone pointed at Tan Rou and whispered, “The explosion in our school four years ago seems to be related to that senior. I heard that five or six students were killed.”
“Didn’t they say that the senior who caused the explosion was killed?” Is there any other reason?”
“Let’s go quickly, lest they take revenge,” urged their companions.
