After Zhuang Liu entered, he took the initiative to sit on the left side of Tan Rou. Normally, he wouldn't be able to sit in this position, but coincidentally, the Tao brothers weren't here today.
Today was Saturday, so Tan Rou didn't have to go to school. Since Tan Rou didn't have to go to school, Tao Zhi didn't have to pick her up from school. As for Tao Zheng and Tao Qi? The two of them went to buy books.
Tao Qi's school required him to buy a set of extra-cursory reference books, but the version that the teacher requested was very rare, so Tao Zheng took Tao Qi out early in the morning to look for books and had not returned until now.
Mr. Tao usually didn't go home for lunch. His workplace was quite far away, and his lunch break was short. He didn't have time to go home for lunch.
Since they weren't around, Zhuang Liu had it easy. After he entered the door, he sat directly on Tan Rou's left, while the seat on Tan Rou's right was reserved for Mrs. Tao.
