Chapter 4 Brother, I will always favor you

After speaking, Li Mianmian felt that she had made some decisions on her own because her parents did not let her talk about it.

But she was worried that Gu Yanci would think she was too bad, so she wanted to beg him in advance.

She hesitated for many days and never had the courage.

To this day he gives himself gifts.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a feeling of pampering and pride.

I felt as if as long as I spoke shamelessly, he would definitely agree.

Her shadow was reflected in Gu Yanci's eyes, and the shadow was surrounded by warm, watery waves.

Li Mianmian looked at him, feeling filled with an indescribable swelling in her heart.

After coming to this strange place, she found a sense of security for the first time, not with her parents.

But it's this strange brother upstairs.

But Gu Yanci did not answer her question directly.

Perhaps because the question was too sudden, he hesitated for a moment before answering: "I will discuss this with my uncle and aunt."

Li Mianmian was like a deflated balloon at this moment: "Oh"

——

When the two of them entered the house, their parents were still busy in the kitchen.

The table was already filled with dishes, and Li Yan was sitting alone on the sofa watching cartoons.

Hearing the sound, he glanced towards the door, and then saw Li Mianmian holding a white rabbit doll in her arms, with a smile on her face and said nothing.

Li Mianmian was a little confused - why did this little guy smile so horribly today.

Before every meal, he would pester me to play games with him, but he was so good today.

Gu Yan took out his slippers and put them on in a familiar manner. It looked like this was not his first time here.

Li Mianmian followed him, but she was like a guest.

After going to the kitchen to say hello, Gu Yanci brought out the dishes.

Not long after, five people sat neatly at the table.

Li Yan took the chopsticks and poked around in the bowl. As he poked, he accidentally dropped the chopsticks to the ground.

Li Mianmian looked over and was about to help pick up the chopsticks.

"Li Yan!" Li Changfeng's stern voice sounded: "Eating should be delicious. Are chopsticks for playing with?"

Li Yan thanked Li Mianmian with a playful smile, then turned to Li Changfeng and said: "It's not intentional, it's not intentional, you continue."

Lan Qingwan persuaded in a gentle voice: "Xiao Yan, your brother Yan Ci is here today. Eat well."

This sentence worked very well. Li Yan picked up the clean chopsticks lying next to him and immersed himself in eating the rice.

Li Mianmian looked at his brother and then at Gu Yanci.

I thought that this little guy was running around all day and was not afraid of anything, but I didn't expect that he was actually afraid of the brother upstairs.

"That's what it looks like. I just want to play with it all day long, so don't pay attention to him." After coaxing Li Yan, Lan Qingwan gave Gu Yanci a piece of braised pork: "Try the braised pork made by auntie."

Gu Yanci held the bowl and took it: "Thank you, Aunt Lan."

Halfway through the meal, Lan Qingwan winked at Li Mianmian and asked her to pour Gu Yanci a drink.

There was freshly squeezed peach juice in the kitchen. Li Mianmian nodded, picked up Gu Yanci's cup and ran away.

She went there in a hurry, but when she came back she was cautious, holding the glass tightly with both hands.

In just a few steps, she was sweating on her forehead, fearing that she might fall accidentally.

This was mainly because she had been beaten for breaking a bowl in the past, so she subconsciously became nervous whenever there was something in a fragile container.

However, as soon as she left the kitchen, her hands were suddenly empty.

——

It was Gu Yanci who stood up and took the cup.

He was very tall, and if he stood on the seat, he could reach her with a little reach.

That hand was as big as her two palms, and its fingers were long and strong. When she accidentally touched the back of her hand, a blazing temperature was felt.

For a few seconds, Li Mianmian felt her heart beating very fast.

When she returned to her seat, Li Yan put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, and said politely: "I'm full and I'm going back to the house to play." After that, he ran away.

Li Changfeng stood up and said to Lan Qingwan, "I'll go watch that kid while you and Xiao Ci have a good chat."

The bedroom door was closed, and Li Yande's voice came from inside: "I'm so good today, and you still let me do my homework. Please let your dear son go!"

Lan Qingwan smiled sheepishly at Gu Yanci: "This kid is so playful."

Gu Yanci didn't take it to heart at all. He put down his chopsticks and glanced at Li Mianmian reassuringly, and then asked: "Auntie asked me to come today because she wanted to talk to me about tutoring Mianmian, right?"

Lan Qingwan was slightly stunned: "You know all this?"

Gu Yanci nodded: "Mianmian told me just now."

"Oh, that."

Lan Qingwan gave an overview of Li Mianmian's previous study situation, and then said hesitantly: "We mainly want to ask if you have time during the summer vacation. If you don't have time, we won't force you."

"I have time." Gu Yanci said without hesitation: "It depends on Auntie if you have any other requests."

Li Mianmian looked at him blankly.

When Gu Yanci asked before, she didn't answer immediately. She thought he wouldn't agree.

I didn't expect him to accept it so easily.

"We don't have any requirements. We just need to trouble you to take care of Mianmian." Lan Qingwan said, "Uncle Li and I have to go to work. As for Xiaoyan, we enrolled him in a cram school. Usually Mianmian is left alone at home. This time

She doesn't know how to use many things around her, so your uncle and I are worried about what might happen."

"Don't worry." Although Lan Qingwan said it euphemistically, Gu Yanci still heard the connotation: "I am not busy during the summer vacation, so I can stay with her all the time. Mianmian's situation does require long-term tutoring."

Lan Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you very much."

Gu Yanci: "Auntie, you're too polite."

Lan Qingwan originally wanted to talk about making up tuition fees, but since Li Mianmian was also here, she didn't want to raise the money in front of her children, so she planned to find another time to talk.

In the bedroom, I don't know what Li Changfeng said, and Li Yan stopped crying and howling.

After dinner, Lan Qingwan asked Li Mianmian to take Gu Yan out of the study so that Gu Yanci could understand Li Mianmian's study situation.

While clearing away the dishes, Lan Qingwan noticed that the study door was not closed, and a stool was specially placed at the door to prop it up, so she motioned to Li Changfeng to take a look.

Li Changfeng smiled and whispered: "We have watched this child grow up, so his character must be no problem."

——

In the study room, the light of the desk lamp reflected the writing on the book very clearly.

Recalling the low-wattage incandescent lights at dusk, it was clearly only a few days ago, but it seems like a lifetime ago.

Whenever she sat in this room, Li Mianmian would think that before she came here, she had thought that her brother would cry, but it seemed different from what she thought.

This study room used to be where Li Yan did his homework, but now most of it belongs to her.

Even though Li Yan was like this, he never expressed dissatisfaction. This family seemed to be very good.

But sometimes she still wonders whether Li Yan thinks that "she took away his parents", or "she took away half of her parents' love."

Only when facing Gu Yanci, she felt much more at ease.

Because Gu Yanci does not belong to this family, she does not need to feel guilty, although it is a bit shameless.

Sensing her absent-mindedness, Gu Yanci stopped flipping through the book and asked aloud, "Why are you distracted?"

Li Mianmian pursed her lips and turned to look at him.

After a long while, she whispered: "Brother, did you have a bad relationship with Li Yan before?"

After asking, she began to condemn herself internally.

I feel like a jealous cheapskate.

"Huh?" Gu Yanci raised her lips, perhaps finding it interesting: "If I have a good relationship with him, what will you do?"

"I don't know much about it." Li Mianmian quietly touched his hot ears and said dullly, "I'm just afraid that he will think that I took away what belongs to him."

That's not it - Li Mianmian once again condemned herself in her heart - she was clearly testing him and wanted to hear a negative answer from him.

It was quiet inside the house.
