Tao Zhi treated Tan Rou to a meal as promised and also called Zhuang Liu over. During the meal, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu sat together while Tao Zhi and Tian Tian sat together.
"Xiao Rou, I'll have to trouble you with my Tiantian." Tao Zhi raised a glass of fruit juice.
"Today, you're not my sister, but Tiantian's teacher." He and Zhuang Liu had to drive, and Tan Rou and Tian Tian couldn't hold their liquor, so they only ordered fruit juice.
"Why do you have to be so serious?" Tan Rou laughed. "It's just a meal. I thought you were going to send us off."
Zhuang Liu put on a sad expression. "We'll spend less time together in the future."
Tian Tian was a little embarrassed. She said to Zhuang Liu, "Brother Zhua, don't be sad. I won't take up too much of Rourou's time. I'll only ask her questions when Rourou is free."
Zhuang Liu looked at Tan Rou with a sad expression on his face, as if he was not satisfied with this arrangement.
