Tao Zhi’s hand could no longer drive, so Tan Ron naturally wouldn’t let him take the risk. Moreover, she needed to treat Tao Zhi, so she wouldn’t go to the library today.

Since they had returned, the siblings had to think of a way to cover it up. After all, Tao Zhi didn’t want his parents to worry about him.

“Just say that I’m busy making pills today and can’t go to the library.” Tan Rou thought of a reason. “Besides, I just checked Grandma’s pulse yesterday and already told her about it. Mom and the others shouldn’t suspect us.”

Tao Zhi also thought that this was a good idea. He said to Tan Rou, “Rourou, I really can’t tell them about this yet. I’m afraid they’ll worry. I’ll tell them after my hand is cured. If it can’t be cured, there’s no need for them to know as well.”

Tan Rou stuck out her pinky. “This is a secret between me and you.”

Tao Zhi smiled. “Alright, this is a secret between us.”

After returning home, Tan Rou told her family what she had rehearsed before returning to her room to make the medicine. Her room was on the third floor and had a balcony attached. It was very huge as the entire third floor belonged to her. Not only did it have her study, but it also had her pharmaceutical lab.

“Xiao Rou…” Tao Zhi knocked on the door in embarrassment. “Rourou?”

Tan Rou opened the door generously. “Big Brother, why are you being so careful?”

“I’m worried they’ll find out,” Tao Zhi said nervously. After saying that, he even glanced downstairs.

Tan Rou found it funny when she saw how he acted like a thief. In her previous life, her eldest brother was a very cold person. He rarely talked to his family and rarely communicated with Tan Rou. Moreover, Tan Rou still hated them back then, so she would never communicate with him. So, Tan Rou had always thought that Tao Zhi was not an easy person to get along with. She did not expect him to have such a side to him. He was really too cute.

“If they find out, we can just say that we’re just having a conversation together.” Tan Rou said.

“I really don’t want them to worry.” Tao Zhi emphasized.

Tan Rou suddenly asked. “Big brother, are you really afraid of them finding out about this or you just don’t want to talk to them?”

Tao Zhi was stunned. “What do you mean?”

“Big brother.” Tan Rou sat down and said, “I heard Second Brother talk about you. He said that you used to like music, but our parents didn’t really like the idea of it. Later on, you left home and didn’t come back for years. You basically stopped communicating with your family. I’m thinking that perhaps it’s just that you don’t know how to get along with them, right?” Tan Rou didn’t hear these things from Tao Zheng. In fact, she had known about it in her previous life.

Tao Zhi sat down as well. He crossed his arms and smiled bitterly. “I’m not angry about what happened back then but I haven’t been back for so many years. I really don’t know how to get along with them. They would carefully thread their questions and I would also answer tediously. That’s not how a family should be.”

“Big brother, would you like to hear me out about this?”

“Sure.”

“You’ve only been separated from Dad and Mom for a few years, but I’ve been separated from Dad and Mom for seventeen years.” Tan Rou smiled slightly.

“When I returned home, I was also not used to it for a while. I was even angry with them, but later on, I thought it through. We are a family. If there is a problem between us, we should just voice it out. There shouldn’t be so many twists and turns in a family.

Tao Zhi opened his mouth. “Xiao Rou…”

“Big brother, you’re already an adult. Why can’t you see it as clearly as a child like me?” Tan Rou smiled. “Dad, Mom, and the rest of us miss you very much.”

Then, she hugged her elder brother.

Tao Zhi slowly reached out to hug her. “You’re right. I can’t even see through it as clearly as you.”

Tan Rou let go of him. “So, we’ll treat your hands first. Whether your hand can be cured or not, you have to tell Mom and Dad about this.”

Tao Zhi nodded. “Alright, I’ll tell them.”

Tan Rou took out a silver needle and gave it to her brother. She wanted to help him open up his meridians and let his hand slowly regain its senses. Then, she would use the medicine she had brewed to treat him. However, Mrs. Tao was still in the kitchen, so they couldn’t use the kitchen directly. Tan Rou could only go to Bai Jing’s place to make medicine when she had free time and help Tao Zhi make some pills that could be dissolved in water.

Tao Zhi felt that his hand seemed to have regained strength. It seemed that Xiao Rou’s treatment was really effective. He looked at Tan Rou and smiled. His sister was really amazing. Therefore, he should do something for his sister..
