Chapter 60 Extra 7: She also wants to protect the people she cares about

Author: Nan Ruoruo

This year's Spring Festival is very early, and New Year's Eve is about a week after the winter vacation.

When the two arrived at the airport, Lan Qingwan and Li Changfeng stood outside to pick them up, and even Li Yan came.

After not seeing him for a semester, the little guy has grown a lot in height and is now at least 1.6 meters tall by visual inspection.

Seeing Li Mianmian, Li Yan immediately rushed over to help her carry her bag, made two gestures with his hands on the top of his head, and asked frustratedly: "When will I grow to be as tall as you?"

"It will be fine in a few years." Li Mianmian comforted, "You are still young now."

"I'm not young anymore! I'm already thirteen years old!"

After saying that, Li Yan bit her lip, grabbed her arm, and whispered quietly: "I have already taken physiology classes, I have grown up!"

"Wow, let's celebrate." Li Mianmian asked, "Is there any gift you want?"

"What's the point of celebrating!" Li Yan said coyly, "I'm a man, why should I celebrate when I grow up?"

"Um, it's okay. Is sister happy for you?"

Li Mianmian suddenly remembered the scene on the day of her menarche. Looking back now, it seemed like it was no big deal, but at the time, she really felt like the sky was about to collapse.

——

Fortunately, Gu Yanci is there.

Thinking this, Li Mianmian couldn't help but look back at him.

Lan Qingwan and Li Changfeng were talking to him in the middle. He was listening attentively, but suddenly he raised his head with emotion and met her eyes.

Li Mianmian smiled and turned back to listen to Li Yan complain: "Hey, I can beat those annoying brats now."

"Is there no one to help you? Are you alone?" Li Mianmian asked.

"Yes." Li Yan said, "I have several friends and a little girl to help me deal with my wounds." His face turned red as he spoke.

Li Mianmian nodded: "That's good. We can't fight next time. Do you understand?"

"I know! Mom nags me every day, why do you still nag me when you come back?" Li Yan raised his head, "Are all of you adults like this? Or have you been assimilated by your brother-in-law?"

Li Mianmian's face turned hot: "Who taught you to call me brother-in-law..."

"Are you embarrassed?" Li Yan grabbed her hand with a smile, "What is this?"

Li? Seeing the shiny ring on his hand, he quickly retracted: "Shh - I haven't told my parents yet, please don't make any noise."

"Then I'm the first to know?"

"Hehe." Li Yan opened his palms to her, "Hush money!"

Li Mianmian patted him and said, "I will forward you on WeChat later."

"Stop spinning and change it to fireworks." Li Yancheng said excitedly, "I want the kind of really big fireworks, where one big one explodes and then many smaller ones explode again.

"

"Your descriptive ability," Li Mianmian laughed, "is your Chinese language lagging behind again?"

"Oh, are you bothered? Don't mention your grades!" Li Yan stepped on her feet, "I didn't do well in the final exam, and they scolded me until my ears quivered!"

"Then I'll make up for you during the winter vacation?"

After a pause, Li Mianmian shook his head: "Forget it, if you don't listen to me, let your brother-in-law make up for it for you."

Li Mianmian felt a little embarrassed when he said the word "brother-in-law", and immediately coughed unnaturally after saying it. Fortunately, Li Yan didn't pay attention.

"Don't!" She was scared when she mentioned Gu Yanci, "Don't let him make up lessons for me!"

"Why are you so afraid of him?" Li Mianmian laughed, "He doesn't scold you."

"I have a psychological shadow." Li Yan curled his lips, "He's the kind of guy who kills people without being seen, you know, right? Why did you say that I couldn't recognize people clearly when I was a child, and yet I thought he was so good? Now that I think about it,

I thought he was really scary before. Every time he looked at me, he seemed to be smiling on the surface, but in reality he was cold and cold, especially..."

She suddenly stopped talking.

"Huh?" Li Mianmian lowered his head slightly, "What in particular?"

"Especially..." Li Yan hummed like a mosquito, "When I... bullied you..."

"Why do you still remember this?" Li Mianmian smiled, "I forgot about it, so don't take it to heart."

"Neither did I... I just thought of my brother-in-law." Li Yan stuck out his tongue, "Anyway, I feel that he is only good to you. And it was the first time you two met, and he was very good to you. Why?

?”

"Hmm..." Li Mianmian said jokingly, "Maybe it's because I'm better looking than you?"

...I don’t want to deal with you anymore!”

Li Yan hugged her bag and ran forward. After a few steps, she stopped and waited for her: "Then will you buy me fireworks?"

"I don't know if I can buy the kind you mentioned. Even if I can buy it, it will probably be very expensive." Li Mianmian thought, "I'll try my best. If it doesn't work, let your brother-in-law buy it."

She felt that after saying the word "brother-in-law" a few times, she seemed to get used to it and she didn't feel so embarrassed.

"No," Li Yan said hurriedly, "Forget it if you can't buy it, let's give out red envelopes."

Li Mianmian was curious: "Why? Is it necessary to be so afraid of him? I didn't ask you to tell him."

"No." Li Yan held her arm and shook her, "I just don't want my brother-in-law to think I'm too busy."

"Um?"

"Think about it, now my brother-in-law has enough food for himself and the whole family is not hungry. He is single, rich and handsome. How popular he is. You are quite good in the first place, but if people think you have a drag brother, they will definitely stop working.

." Li Yan glanced at her ring and sighed, "I haven't received the certificate yet, so just take it easy."

Li Mianmian couldn't help laughing: "You think a lot."

"Anyway, don't tell him." Li Yan was worried and stressed again and again, "Don't tell him!"

Li Mianmian nodded: "Okay."

"Actually, it doesn't have to be fireworks." Li Yan said, "Anyway, I just want to show off."

"What are you showing off for?"

"You know our class teacher taught you before, and also taught my brother-in-law. She often praised you two in the class. I told Guo Mi that you are my sister and Gu Yanci is my brother-in-law. Then our class has

There is a girl who is always arrogant and says I am bragging. Forget it, I am too lazy to pay attention to her. The main reason is that she later said, so what if you have good grades, who knows if you are living a good life now, so I just say you

Life is going very well! She still insists that she doesn’t believe it!”

"I'm so angry!" Li Yan stamped her foot angrily, "Before we went on winter vacation, she said she also had a brother who would buy her those kinds of fireworks during the Chinese New Year, so I wanted the fireworks..."

"So that's it." Li Mianmian touched his head, "But the fireworks can only be set off back home. We can't set off fireworks over there. How can we let her see them?"

"It's okay, she lives with us in her hometown, and I saw her during the Chinese New Year last year." Li Yan twisted, "Oh, they say you don't have to have fireworks."

Li Mianmian: "Then let's treat her to a meal?"

"No!" Li Yan refused immediately, "Why should I invite her to dinner! I don't want to invite her to dinner!"

"Then what do you want to do?"

Li Yan thought for a while and said, "How about this? A few of our friends have made an appointment to have dinner together during the winter vacation, and she happens to be there too. Then you and your brother-in-law can pick me up together, okay?"

Li Mianmian responded: "Okay."

"You must dress up very beautifully!" Li Yan said, "Let her laugh at me and blind her eyes!"

Li Mianmian laughed: "Okay, blind her! But, what's the difference between a man like you and a little girl?"

Li Yan followed and had fun together for a long time, then suddenly remembered something and cowardly called her: "Sister."

"Um?"

Li Yan: "Do you think I'm very vain? And very naive?"

"Why do you think so?" Li Mianmian rubbed his head, "Aren't you doing this to protect me? It's not for yourself."

Li Yan lowered his head, touched his nose, and whispered, "But I'm just showing off to others."

"That's nothing."

Li Mianmian bowed slightly and said slowly: "I am honored that I can show off to you."

She did feel quite happy.

When she first returned to this home, she had a natural sense of defensiveness, whether it was her parents or her younger brother.

It took them a long time to become a real family without any barriers.

Li Mianmian would be a little jealous at first, thinking why should he be the one suffering, and why should his younger brother be pampered from childhood to adulthood?

Later, when she reconciled with Li Yan, she actually reconciled with herself.

She felt very lucky that her brother did not suffer the same hardships as she did, and that this boy could grow up to be such an innocent person.

If she could, she would also like to be a towering tree to shelter all the people she cares about.
