Chapter 428: 428 Waiting for You
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Tao Zheng and Tao Zhi turned around, their sister and Zhuang Liu were nowhere to be seen. They couldn’t look around Zhuang Liu’s house, so they could only send a message to ask where Tan Rou was.
However, Tan Rou didn’t have her phone on her, so she didn’t see their messages.
Mrs. Tao saw where they had gone. She didn’t want her two sons to disturb Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu, so she said, “The three of you should go back with your father. 1 have something to say to your Aunty Shen.”
“Where’s Xiao Rou?” Tao Zhi asked. “Isn’t she going back with us?”
Mrs. Tao looked at him in annoyance. “Your sister is enjoying the fireworks. She’s not in a hurry to go back.”
Unexpectedly, Tao Zhi sat down on the chair beside the table. “If my sister isn’t going back, I’m not going back either. We want to watch the fireworks too.” Mrs. Tao put on her motherly aura. “Why are you guys looking at fireworks?” She looked at Mr. Tao and said, “Hubby, take them back quickly.””
Mr. Tao, who had not made much of a presence the whole night, made a wave of presence before he went to bed. He said with a straight face, “Your mother and sister have something to do. We’ll go back first. Especially Xiao Qi, you still have to return and do your homework.”
Under the urging of their parents, the three brothers reluctantly left with their father. Before they left, the Tao brothers swept the first floor of Zhuang Liu’s house again, but they still could not find their sister. They could only go home in disappointment.
Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu sat side by side on the bench on the roof where the view was the widest. They quietly admired the colorful fireworks in the sky as if the two of them were the only ones left in the world.
When the fireworks were over, Zhuang Liu turned his face to Tan Rou and asked, “Do you like this birthday party?””
Of course, Tan Rou liked it very much. She said, “This is the happiest birthday party I’ve ever had.”
“Then do you have anything to say?” As Zhuang Liu spoke, he gently hooked Tan Ron’s finger.
Tan Rou didn’t retract her hand. She thought momentarily and said, “Thank you, Third Brother!”
Zhuang Liu shook his head gently. “You know that’s not what I wanted to hear.”
Tan Rou had some thoughts in her mind, but she did not intend to expose them. Hence, she deliberately changed the topic. “Then… The food tonight was delicious, and the fireworks were beautiful?”
Zhuang Liu saw that she did not get to the point, so he said, “Rourou will be adult after today. You would be able to date anyone you want after this.”
After Tan Rou heard this, she immediately pulled her finger out of Zhuang Liu’s hand. She pursed her lips and said shyly, “Third Brother, although I’m already an adult, I’m still in high school. 1 want to study hard first and get into university.”
Zhuang Liu didn’t insist. “1 know, but 1 want to tell you my feelings so you can choose me first when choosing a partner. It doesn’t matter if you’re in school now. I can wait for you. No matter how long it takes, 1’11 wait for you. In this life, 1 will only wait for you.”
Being confessed to by the person she liked was a bizarre experience. Tan Ron’s mind was blank at this moment. She could only remember Zhuang Liu’s words of how he would wait for her. Her heart was beating faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out.
In order to cover up her heartbeat, Tan Rou stood up hurriedly. “I’m leaving first.”
“Wait a minute.” Zhuang Liu pulled her back.
“Third Brother, you don’t have to send me downstairs. I can walk back by myself.” Tan Rou said in a panic.
“Can I still send you to school on Monday morning?”
Tan Rou was stunned for a moment before she replied, “I’ll wait for you at the door.”
Zhuang Liu heaved a sigh of relief when Tan Rou answered. Fortunately, Tan Rou was not angry with him.
Zhuang Liu had been preparing for tonight’s confession for a long time. He had been waiting for the day Tan Rou came of age. He wanted to be the first person to confess to Tan Rou, and also the only choice Tan Rou had in choosing a partner in the future. However, he was a little worried. After all, many people in the world were better than him. He was afraid Tan Rou would meet other men at university in the future. At that time, he might be so jealous that he wanted to kill someone.
He better not catch anyone who would try their luck messing with Xiao Rou!
