Chapter 124: 124 still has to be blood siblings

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Tan Jing's complexion was terrible, but she was too embarrassed to lash out in front of everyone. She could only stiffly force a smile and pretend to be closer to Tao Qi, "Hehe, Xiao Qi, aren't you going to thank your sister? She's so considerate of you!"

Tan Jing had thought that saying so would provoke Tao Qi to loudly object as he used to, insisting that Tan Rou was not his sister, which would at least let her save some face.

But unexpectedly, Tao Qi blinked and, though somewhat reluctantly, still looked up at Tan Rou and weakly said, "Thank you." Then, with averted eyes and in a barely audible voice, he called out "Sister."

For Tao Qi, calling Tan Rou Sister Jingjing had already happened, and since she truly was concerned and helping him, even misunderstood by Sister Jing's classmates, calling her sister and expressing his thanks didn't seem strange at all.
