Hearing Lin Jinglan's muffled voice, tinged with a hint of awkwardness, Yao Feiran explained, "This is my brother. My dad is in the hospital due to poor health, and I'm going back to my hometown for the Chinese New Year this year."

Two years ago, when Lin Jinglan saw that Yao Feiran was spending the Lunar New Year at home, he asked Lin Zhiyou to invite her to the Lin family. Yao Feiran got along quite well with the Lin family. The housekeeper there cooked delicious food, and she has been spending the Lunar New Year at the Lin family for the past few years.

Lin Jinglan's brows instantly relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his face, but it quickly returned to its dejected state.

"it is good."

Looking at the pitiful look on the other person's face, Yao Feiran thought that it was a big taboo for a psychologist to fall in love with a patient, but in her world, it hadn't been verified yet, so it didn't count.

The Fate-Defying Bead: "..."

Yao Feiran took out several ties and embroidered some understated patterns on them, all made of pure silk.

"Take this with you when I leave, and when you're thinking, don't get stuck in a dead end."

"Okay." Lin Jinglan's eyes visibly brightened as he put the things away. "Feiran, what do you like? You didn't seem to like the bag I gave you last time; I haven't seen you take it out much."

Although it's a limited edition bag, it doesn't quite suit Yao Feiran's aesthetic, so it's been gathering dust in her room.

Yao Feiran knew that the other person was interested in her and wanted to pursue her, so she thought about it.

"I like gold, the more the better."

".....good."

As Yao Feiran was leaving, she was indeed greeted by a large bouquet of flowers, which was brought to her in a cart. These flowers were made of gold and almost blinded her.

"Miss Yao, these are 999 pure gold roses from Mr. Lin, each inlaid with diamonds. The concept is..."

The staff looked on with envy; the gifts from the wealthy were so simple and unpretentious.

Yao Feiran: "........"

This approach is a bit too extravagant, completely inconsistent with Lin Jinglan's melancholic image. Moreover, once she accepts it, she probably won't be able to refuse him. Although she is not short of money now, she really can't bring herself to refuse so much gold.

Lin Zhiyou happened to come out of the elevator and shouted, "Holy crap! Who gave this to me? It has no taste at all, it's so tacky!"

"Your brother gave it to me."

"What?! My brother gave it to me?" Lin Zhiyou quickly corrected himself, "As expected of my brother, he has such good taste."

Yao Feiran: "...What are you doing here?"

"Find my brother to get free gold coins."

Why didn't you just say it over the phone?

"They called to say I was rejected."

Lin Jinglan appeared at the door and looked at Lin Zhiyou indifferently: "I told you, you can spend the money however you want, but don't use it for investment. You can calculate how much money you've lost on investments over the years."

"Brother, I've really turned over a new leaf and will never start a business again. You have to save me, I'm so hungry I can only eat dirt now."

Yao Feiran thought to herself, Lin Zhiyou really is a spoiled brat. Lin Jinglan's requirement for him is that he should not invest in or start a business.

After the two brothers struggled for a while, Yao Feiran pushed the flowers back into the house.

Yao Feiran placed the bouquet in a room with tatami mats, thinking that if she took a nap there, she would probably have sweet dreams.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door. Yao Feiran opened the door and saw Lin Zhiyou's excited face.

Looks like we've gotten the money.

He cut to the chase: "It just dawned on me why my brother sent you flowers—he wants to pursue you."

"So, you're asking me to give you some money so I can leave your brother?"

Lin Zhiyou looked wary: "That won't do, I've got my eye on a sports car."

"......."

"I never imagined my brother would pursue someone, it's terrifying."

"What do you mean 'horrifying'? Do you even know how to use words?"

"Oh, right," Lin Zhiyou said somewhat awkwardly, "we're friends after all, so there's something I can't hide from you."

"My brother is unable to have children because of something that happened when he was a child, but he is still fully functional. I hope you don't mind."

Yao Feiran's face twitched; he really dared to say anything.

"Your brother told me before that this matter is entirely in my best interest, so there's nothing to mind."

If it weren't for this reason, Yao Feiran would probably have decisively rejected him. The original owner of this body didn't want a second child at all. Lin Jinglan is a normal person, and if there were any outcome for the two of them, the topic of having children would inevitably come up.

Of course, Yao Feiran hasn't thought about getting married yet, mainly because the other person is clean and good-looking.

"That's good, hehe, I'll be going now."

After Lin Zhiyou left, Lin Jinglan came over.

"What did he say?"

"He told me about your health."

"He tells you everything."

"He was afraid that if I found out, he wouldn't accept it and it would hurt you instead." Yao Feiran reached out and patted his shoulder: "Let's not talk about this."

"It's okay, it's been so long, I've already let it go." Lin Jinglan's mental state has improved considerably after years of therapy. His eyes were filled with trepidation: "Did you like the gift?"

"like."

A very faint, soft light filled his eyes.

......

Yao Feiran drove Yao Qingqing back to her hometown. Yao Qingqing was a little nervous: "Mom, are we going to Grandma's house?"

"Yes."

"Grandma doesn't like Mom."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I saw it. In the past, when I went home for Chinese New Year, my grandma always complained that the gifts my mom brought were cheap, but she was happy even if my uncle didn't bring any gifts."

Yao Feiran didn't expect that Yao Qingqing, who was so young at the time, could sense it.

Yao Feiran didn't want to associate with these people at all. Her parents thought divorce was shameful and would have a bad influence on their son. Moreover, they believed that once a daughter was married, she was no longer considered family and would weigh the pros and cons before doing anything.

"It's okay, we'll only stay for a few days during the Lunar New Year, and then we'll go back early."

"I miss Xiaxia. She gave me a big box of hair clips. And Brother You bought me a whole room full of blind boxes. I'm waiting to open them when I get back."

"......"

Yao Qingqing kept talking the whole way to her hometown, and Yao Feiran was so annoyed by the noise that her ears were spinning.

Upon arriving at the Third Hospital, Yao Feiran asked a nurse and learned that her father had only twisted his ankle and was feeling unwell. He had been hospitalized for two days and was almost fully recovered today.
