When the siblings came back, they saw that the lights in the villa were still on. Mrs. Tao was sitting in the living room in her pajamas. She was obviously a little nervous.
"Where did you two go? It's already so late at night!" Mother Tao heaved a sigh of relief when she saw them return. "I was scared to death!"
Tan Rou and her brother looked at each other and prepared to give the excuse like what they had discussed earlier.
"Mom, we went for a night run." Tan Rou explained, "Tao Qi saw me running at night and in the morning, so he wanted to do the same. So I taught him some techniques for jogging. We were tired from running, so we rested outside for a while and enjoyed the wind."
Tao Qi also nodded. "That's right, that's right! Third Sister is very good at running. She runs very fast."
Mrs. Tao looked at them suspiciously. "Did both of you really go jogging?"
The siblings nodded at the same time. "Yes."
