At the Tao family’s house, Tao Zheng had already prepared dinner. His cooking wasn’t delicious at all and was barely edible. Usually, when Mother Tao came back late, he would cook.

Tao Qi ate Tao Zheng’s dishes with a pained expression. As he ate, he complained, “Second Brother, if this doesn’t work out, let’s sign up for a class. There are so many crash courses outside that teach cooking. You should spend money to sign up for one.”

Tao Zheng pulled a long face. “You don’t have to eat it if you don’t like it.”

Tao Qi pretended to sigh deeply and said, “Third Sister’s cooking is still the best.”

Tao Zheng agreed. “That’s true. However, Rourou has to go out every weekend. She also has classes during the week. She wouldn’t have the time to cook for us.”

Tan Rou and the others returned as they spoke.

Mother Tao looked at the table full of food and praised, “Our second son has also become better. His cooking skills have been getting better recently. He’s almost catching up to me.”

Tao Zheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Mom, don’t mock me anymore. Xiao Qi was just saying that my cooking was terrible.”

When Tao Qi saw Tan Rou return, he immediately threw down his chopsticks and ran over to hug her waist. “My dear Third Sister, you’re finally back. 1 missed you so much.” Tan Rou gently brushed the tip of his nose and said, “Do you miss me or my cooking?”

Tao Qi giggled. “Both. The person i miss the most is you, Third Sister. There’s no one else… No dish can replace your place in my heart.”

Tan Rou smiled and said, “Listen to me quickly. I’ve already fallen to the point where I’m compared to vegetables.”

Tao Zheng said, “I’m not even as good as a plate of vegetables to him.”

Tan Rou pulled Tao Qi back to the table. “It’s too late today, so i won’t cook. Besides, Second Brother has made so much delicious food. It’ll be a waste if we don’t finish it all.”

Tao Zheng felt ashamed. “Xiao Rou, you’re just doing this to make me feel better. The dishes that Second Brother cooked are really not delicious.””

Mother Tao washed her hands and sat at the table. “Let’s eat. Xiao Rou, do you want to eat some more?”

“Sure.” Although Tan Rou had already eaten, how could she not try the dishes that her brother had painstakingly prepared? At most, she would just have to jog for a few more rounds.

The family sat down to eat. Tao Zheng suddenly said, “Oh, right. Big brother sent me an email this afternoon. He said that he would be back soon.”

Their eldest brother, Tao Zhi, joined the workforce after graduating from university, but he never came back after that. It seemed that he had a bad relationship with his parents. Previously, he had something that he wanted to do but his parents didn’t agree with him which was why they stopped talking.

In her previous life, Tan Rou only met Tao Zhi after she returned. Tao Zhi treated her kindly after knowing that Tan Rou was his biological sister. Unfortunately, Tan Rou was mentally ill in her previous life. She followed behind Tan Jing and persecuted the Tao family, which eventually harmed Tao Zhi.

She only knew that Tao Zhi liked music and said that his dream was to be a musician. However, for the sake of his family, he gave up music and chose a good job. After graduation, he started working.

Back then, Tao Zhi and Tan Rou had talked about music and had even played the guitar for her. Unfortunately, Tan Rou had no interest in listening to him sing and play the guitar at that time and had broken his precious guitar. In fact, Tan Rou wasn’t the one who broke the guitar. It was Tan Jing who broke it and framed her. At that time, Tan Rou didn’t like the Tao family, so she admitted it when Tao Zhi asked her.

Tao Zhi was heartbroken when he found out about it. In addition, his parents did not agree with him playing music, so he completely gave up his dream of music.

Now that she thought about it, Tan Rou felt very regretful. How could she have been so bad and stupid in her previous life?

“When is big brother coming back?” Tan Rou wanted to see him. She wanted to make it up to her brother.

“Big Brother didn’t say.” Tao Zheng replied, “He just said that he will be back soon.”

Tan Rou suddenly felt a little worried. Did something happen to Tao Zhi? Hopefully, she was overthinking.

“Hubby, don’t quarrel with him when he comes back.” Mrs. Tao reminded Mr. Tao in advance, “The child has grown up and has his own thoughts. We can’t restrict our son’s thoughts and force him to do things he doesn’t like.”

Mr. Tao was also a little regretful. Back then, he was indeed a little stubborn but his eldest son was also a stubborn person. In the end, the relationship between them became a stalemate and Tao Zhi did not come back for several years. He rarely called them. He said that his work was confidential, but in fact, he just didn’t want to talk to them. Otherwise, why would he tell his brother about his return but not his parents?

“I understand.” Father Tao said, “i’ll talk to him calmly when he comes back. If he insists on pursuing his dream, we’ll support him..”
