Ruan Mianmian knew what was going on, but so far her elder brother had not given her a clear answer, and she was not in the position to say more.
"Big brother has big brother's thoughts. Besides, it's a good thing to take the scientific examination." Ruan Mianmian said briskly while avoiding Ruan Chen's eyes.
Ruan Jin's sudden decision was probably related to Lin Bingying. I wonder if something happened between them while he was asleep?
"Mianmian, do you think it's a good thing?" Ruan Chen suddenly asked.
Ruan Xiao was confused when he heard this: "Third brother, are you stupid? Of course it's a good thing. It would be better if the eldest brother can go to high school."
"Fourth brother is right." Ruan Chen said with a smile when he met Ruan Mianmian's confused look.
"Third brother, you are going back to the academy tomorrow. How long will it take for you to come back?"
"Normally, it's half a month and a day. Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I'm free."
"It seems good to go to the academy to study." Ruan Mianmian suddenly became curious.
Speaking of which, Tiandao Academy is considered the number one school. I wonder what the so-called girls’ class teaches?
Thinking of this, Ruan Mianmian asked: "Can I go visit my third brother?"
"Visiting me?" Ruan Chen laughed dumbly, "Tiandao Academy is actually not far from the capital, just twenty miles outside the east city gate. If you miss me, please send a message to someone. I will come back, so you don't have to work hard."
"Oh, third brother, you are so stupid."
Ruan Chen was stunned: "Am I stupid?"
"You are just stupid, can't you tell? Someone wants to sneak out of the city to play in the name of visiting you." Ruan Xiao saw through Ruan Mianmian's little thoughts.
Suddenly realizing it, Ruan Chen smiled: "I didn't say that I can't visit, but if you want to go, it's better to let someone tell me in advance."
"Okay, I get it."
Ruan Mianmian saw that Ruan Xiao was about to speak but hesitated, and it seemed that he had something to say.
"Third brother, have you packed your bags?" Ruan Mianmian reminded, "Remember to tell your grandfather and grandmother."
"That's natural." Ruan Chen touched Ruan Mianmian's head, "Take good care of yourself, half a month will pass quickly, wait for me to come back."
"Yes." Ruan Mianmian raised her head and said sweetly to Ruan Chen.
"By the way, this is for you." Ruan Chen took out a bag from his sleeve and handed it to Ruan Mianmian.
Ruan Mianmian took it and opened it. Inside the bag were several clay figurines. She took them out one by one, and her eyes widened in an instant.
One, two, three, four, five, four young men of different heights and a petite girl. It is not difficult to tell from their clothes that they are Ruan Jin, Ruan Zhao, Ruan Chen, Ruan Xiao and Ruan Mianmian.
"Do you like it?" Ruan Chen asked.
Ruan Mianmian smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits: "Yeah, I like it, I like it very much."
"Now we will be with you all the time."
"Thank you, third brother."
Ruan Xiao said sourly: "So you just left the house in a hurry just to buy clay figurines."
Ruan Chen glanced at Ruan Xiao and chuckled, turned around and rubbed the little nipple head and said: "Third brother is going back to pack his bags."
"Okay, Third Brother, walk slowly." Ruan Mianmian said as he carefully put several clay figurines back into the bag.
Ruan Xiao scratched his head: "I didn't prepare any gadgets for you."
"I know." Ruan Mianmian directed Ruan Xiao to help her put the bag on the cabinet, "You have been outside and haven't left at all."
"You know?" Ruan Xiao stepped forward, "Then guess what I want to say now."
"No need to ask, fourth brother. My little brother and I won't tell you anything we won't tell you. If he wants to tell you, he will tell you naturally."
"I really guessed it right." Ruan Xiao gave Ruan Mianmian a thumbs up, "I haven't asked you yet, so you are sure not to tell me."
The little girl shook her head like a rattle: "Yes, I won't tell you."
"Mianmian, please reveal a little bit." Ruan Xiao saw that Li Yu was worried when he was sending him away just now, "I also know what's going on."
Ruan Mianmian thought about it. Although Ruan Xiao seemed smart, the environment he was in was a palace, and he might stupidly make a big mistake one day.
"Fourth brother, be careful about everything in the palace. Remember that even what you see with your eyes and what you hear with your ears may not be trustworthy. Don't be reckless, stay calm and calm when encountering problems, and ask your grandfather more often."
Ruan Xiao couldn't laugh or cry: "Why are you using the same rhetoric as my grandfather?"
"Grandpa said it." Ruan Mianmian smiled, "Just remember it, I have nothing more to say."
Unexpectedly, he asked his sister to teach him something. Seeing that Ruan Mianmian was very determined, Ruan Xiao didn't say anything more and just told her to rest more and stepped back.
Ruan Mianmian rested for a long time. When it got dark, Zhou Yuning had dinner with her and then went back to rest.
Zhou Yuning stayed with Ruan Mianmian during the period of sleeping. Seeing that her mother's face looked tired, she asked Shuang'er to take her back to her room quickly.
Ruan Mianmian was sitting on the bed boredly, playing with the little clay figurine given by Ruan Chen, when Jiu'er's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Princess, the second young master is here."
"Second brother is here, please come in."
Ruan Zhao walked in. Ruan Mianmian looked towards him, but Ruan Jin was nowhere to be seen. He actually came alone.
"My second brother is going to college tomorrow. He's here to say goodbye to his sister."
"Yes." Ruan Zhao replied casually.
Ruan Mianmian sat on the bed, looking at Ruan Zhao standing a few feet away with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Second brother, sit down." Ruan Mianmian pointed towards the chair at the head of the bed.
Ruan Zhao nodded slightly, and he slowly walked forward and sat down. Thinking about the last time he was alone with Ruan Mianmian, it seemed that he had never been alone.
At the same time, Ruan Mianmian was also recalling that neither the original owner nor his own memory had any experience of being alone with his second brother.
"Are you feeling better?"
"I'm fine."
"Have you eaten yet?"
"have eaten."
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, Ruan Mianmian did it on purpose, and Ruan Zhao's helpless look was really interesting to watch.
Since it was the second brother who came to the door on his own initiative, all he had to do was wait and see what he wanted to say.
Ruan Zhao was silent for a long time, speechless, and finally summoned up the courage: "Mianmian, I'm sorry."
Ruan Mianmian was very surprised: "Why did the second brother say this?"
With a beginning, it will be much easier to say what comes next. Ruan Zhao gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "I was misled before and misunderstood you."
"Did the second brother discover something?" Ruan Mianmian's mind was spinning very fast. Ruan Zhao would never have come to say these things to her if he hadn't been stimulated by something.
Ruan Zhao's face became even more ugly when he thought of the conversation he overheard: "It was Ruolan who pushed you into the water that day. Why didn't you tell your grandfather and grandmother?"
"As expected, you saw it." Ruan Mianmian's expression was so indifferent that people couldn't figure it out.
"Sorry, I was deceiving myself. I told myself that Ruolan might just reach out and grab you." Ruan Zhao looked disappointed and closed his eyes.
Ruan Mianmian sarcastically said: "Since you have already deceived yourself and others, why do you still need to tell the truth now?"
