Zhu Shichu listened to Tao Li's words without comment and just smiled. Although Tao Li was praising her, Zhu Shichu could clearly feel that he was just trying to please her skillfully.
"Okay, okay, I have delayed Miss Zhu for so long, Taotao, please stop being naughty." Tao Li criticized his sister, and then said to Zhu Shichu with some embarrassment, "Sorry, I came to disturb you uninvited. It's your party with your sister. If Miss Zhu minds, I can leave first..."
Tao Li keenly felt that Zhu Shichu didn't seem to have a good impression of him, so he asked tentatively. It stands to reason that he would take retreat in order to advance. A normal girl would be embarrassed to say that she would mind, so he could Let nature take its course and stay.
Who knew that Zhu Shichu was not a person who played by common sense? She smiled happily and said, "Mr. Tao, I'm really sorry. Your sister and I are girls. It's not convenient for boys to join girls' parties. Since Mr. Tao, you said you can leave first, then I will rudely agree."
As she spoke, she smiled slightly at Tao Li. When Tao Li heard her words, the smile on his face could hardly be maintained, and his face couldn't help but twist for a while. Fortunately, he knew that he was in front of Zhu Shichu, so he adjusted it in time. his facial expressions.
Zhu Shichu had made it so clear. If he didn't know what to do and insisted on staying, wouldn't it be self-defeating and make her hate him? Therefore, Tao Li had to knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and said: "Haha, since Miss Zhu cares, I won't hinder you here. I hope I will have the honor to meet Miss Zhu next time."
He suppressed the resentment in his heart and tried his best to pretend to be a gentleman and maintain his demeanor.
"Hey, are you really going to leave? At the beginning, we didn't say anything private, so it doesn't matter if I let my brother stay. He can pay for it!" Tao Tao said unhappily, pouting.
"No, we agreed that I would treat you this time. How can you ask your brother to stay and pay for it? Isn't this disrespectful to him?" Zhu Shichu denied it.
In the end, Tao Li could only leave with a stiff smile, but in his heart he regretted that he had made the mistake of taking a step back to make progress. It would be difficult for him to have such an opportunity to get close to Zhu Shichu next time.
It turns out that Tao Li deliberately found Tao Tao at this time, because he heard Tao Tao say yesterday that he would go out to eat with Zhu Shichu today, and he wanted to pursue Zhu Shichu.
In his opinion, Zhu Shichu's family background is better than that of his Tao family, and the Zhu family's family relationship is extremely simple. It is not like their Tao family at all, where various half-brothers and sisters are scheming and fighting in private. There are only four masters in the Zhu family, and the population is simple. If he can capture Zhu Shichu's heart, he will definitely be able to use the strength of the Zhu family to fight for more interests in the Tao family...
It's a pity that Zhu Shichu doesn't seem to be easy to get close to. Tao Li reluctantly looked back at the restaurant where Zhu Shichu and Tao Tao were, and secretly told himself: Take your time, Zhu Shichu is still young anyway, and he still has a lot of time. You can slowly capture her. She is a simple and innocent young lady. If you want to pursue her, isn't it easy for her?
Zhu Shichu didn't know that Tao Li had set his sights on her. She simply didn't like the way Tao Li looked at her with too many complicated things in his eyes.
Tao Tao ordered several of the signature dishes on the menu without politeness. While ordering, he said to Zhu Shichu: "Shichu, why are you suddenly so rude to my brother today? You used to have a good temper and never let others know. Embarrassing.”
"Did I just embarrass your brother?" Zhu Shichu opened his innocent eyes and asked her, "I just followed your brother's words and confessed that I did mind him participating in our party here. This is disrespectful to him. Are you polite?"
Tao Tao was choked by her words and immediately had nothing to say. If she hadn't known that Zhu Shichu was indeed an innocent and simple fool before, she would have wondered if she was saying these words deliberately to mock herself.
"Haha, no, I said the wrong thing, don't worry about it." Tao Tao is indeed a person in a big family who is used to watching people's actions, and he quickly said with a smile.
"Of course I won't care. Your brother and I have nothing to do with each other." Zhu Shichu said directly.
"At the beginning, didn't you think that my brother was also very good-looking? Is that why you don't like him?" Tao Tao said with a hint of truth, "Although my brother is not a very powerful person, he is still good-looking. He is considered a young and promising young talent, right?"
Although Tao Tao didn't say it, she was actually a little jealous of Zhu Shichu in her heart, because Zhu Shichu had been doted on by his parents since he was a child. Although he had an eldest brother, he never needed to scheming, which made him need to please the powerful people in the family. Human Tao Tao is extremely sour.
Zhu Shichu shrugged and said, "Taotao, you and I are good friends, so your brother is almost like my brother. How can I have any thoughts about him? So no matter how good-looking or outstanding your brother is, I You won’t even miss him, don’t worry.”
Tao Tao paused and looked at Zhu Shichu's frank look. He suddenly felt tired and waved his hands and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you are not interested in my brother. Anyway, there are many better men than him."
Although Tao Tao has a complicated mind, she knows what her whole family is fighting for, so she shouldn't drag her innocent little sisters into the mud.
"Are you really going to apply for the airship major?" Tao Tao poked at the food on the plate unhappily and asked Zhu Shichu, "Then we can no longer be inseparable like before."
When she said this, she couldn't help but feel a little sad: "My family wants me to read those family arts, and if they want me to become an outstanding socialite, it's best to marry someone from a higher level..."
Zhu Shichu patted her hand and comforted her: "Actually, if you don't want to, there are still many other ways out."
Tao Tao smiled, shook his head and said: "It still doesn't work. There's nothing wrong with studying family arts according to the wishes of the family. At least it doesn't have to be too hard, right? I am just greedy and vain and lazy. I don't want to work hard on my own. I can follow others. Marriage is also a good way out that meets my own requirements."
Zhu Shichu suddenly couldn't say anything. Everyone has his own ambitions and the path he chooses. Others cannot take his place.
Zhu Shichu herself is also an indolent person. If she hadn't been interested, she could have just been a flower vase and enrolled in a free and stress-free major.
But isn't she interested in airships now? So I don’t want to be a salty fish for the time being. It’s okay to struggle occasionally, so as not to be lazy for too long and eventually degenerate too much.
What's more, her brother in this life seems unreliable. If she doesn't stand on her own feet, she may be dragged into the abyss by him again.
