After transmigrating into the body of the female supporting character's biological mother, she

Yan Yuan lowered his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Okay, then I'll prepare my lesson here and won't disturb you."

He tidied up the food on the dining table, sat down on the sofa in the living room, and took his books and lesson plans out of his bag.

He said he was preparing lessons, but when Linlin saw that he hadn't started yet, she got up and went to the yard.

Linlin was a little curious, so she walked to the window and looked outside.

Unexpectedly, Yan Yuan had already returned. Linlin quickly hopped back onto the sofa carpet on one foot and sat down, pen tip against paper, pretending to be thinking seriously.

For acute soft tissue injuries such as sprained ankles and ligament strains, applying cold compresses within 48 hours can constrict blood vessels and reduce bleeding.

Yesterday, there was no ice at home, so Yan Yuan filled a few cups with water and put them in the yard before he went back. Now they have frozen into ice.

He wrapped the ice cubes in a towel and handed it to Linlin, saying, "Applying a cold compress will help reduce the swelling faster."

"……Thanks."

Linlin took it, turned her body to one side, and took off her socks to apply a cold compress.

Because of the radiators, the room was warm and cozy, but the air felt slightly stuffy and unpleasant.

Upon touching the ice, Linlin let out a soft sigh, instantly feeling a sense of comfort.

She glanced back nervously.

Yan Yuan had already lowered his head and was writing in his notebook, as if he were seriously preparing for his lesson.

Linlin breathed a sigh of relief and started playing with the ice cubes.

After a while, a voice suddenly came from behind, "That's enough, it's been fifteen minutes. Apply it again in two hours."

He reached out and pulled the ice cubes wrapped in a towel directly from behind Linlin.

The towel was already soaked, and Linlin's hands were white from the cold.

Yan Yuan glanced at it, and after a while, he brought over another hand warmer.

Linlin finally couldn't hold back any longer, looked up at him, and asked, "Why are you so good to me?"

Yan Yuan's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Can't you tell? I'm trying to please you."

"You used to be good to me too."

Linlin wanted to use this sentence to remind him that they already had a very good relationship.

They are siblings, friends, and have always been good friends. Why change?

Yan Yuan was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes. "It's different."

The brother's affection stemmed from his wish for her happiness, while the suitor's affection stemmed from his desire for her happiness to be connected to him.

Because of the "selfishness" of love, this liking also carries exclusivity and possessiveness.

He wasn't jealous that she had another brother, but he couldn't even imagine her standing next to another man.

Linlin didn't dare to break the ice, but Yan Yuan always wanted the title of a suitor.

He imitated Linlin, sitting down on the carpet and saying earnestly, "Linlin, can you treat me like the boys who are pursuing you?"

Linlin's fingers trembled as she held the pen. She looked down and complained, "Those boys don't have a key to my house."

Yan Yuan's biggest fear was that Linlin would find his feelings disgusting, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her say that.

He chuckled softly, "My fault, it's because I was in a privileged position..."

Yan Yuan didn't say the last few words.

Little Moon buried herself in her homework.

After hesitating for a while, Yan Yuan spoke again, "Linlin?"

Linlin looked at him with feigned indifference, slightly raising her chin. "What's wrong? This is how I treat those boys. You chose this yourself."

Yan Yuan rubbed his forehead, laughing so hard his shoulders shrugged.

Linlin was a little embarrassed and annoyed, but pretended to be fierce, "Aren't you afraid I'll tell Mom and Dad? And my brother too?"

The smile in Yan Yuan's eyes deepened. "If you're willing."

Linlin was surprised that he wasn't even afraid of being told on. Suddenly, she felt like she had played her biggest card, so she clenched her fists and said, "You can't tell them. If you do, I'll never talk to you again."

Linlin, without any formal instruction, found Yan Yuan's Achilles' heel.

Yan Yuan sighed softly, "Alright."

He had known for a long time that Linlin was the family's darling.

He'd have to face this sooner or later, so maybe if he confessed to his aunt and uncle sooner, he could leave a better impression.

He has too many rivals, and his aunt and uncle wouldn't even consider those he can't compare to.

Yan Yuan would do even better than someone better than him.

Linlin doesn't want to tell them right now, and Yan Yuan isn't in a hurry.

After his grandfather passed away, Yan Yuan became indifferent to everything and had no ambition.

It wasn't until he realized his feelings for Linlin that he regained his motivation and ambition.

I can't let Linlin suffer with me.

His school dormitory was about 20 square meters, while Linlin's current villa is more than 10 times the size of the dormitory.

Yan Yuan is no longer satisfied with the status quo.

His little moon should always be "high above," and ideally, he should never suffer any hardship in his life.

When Jiang Chengzhou returned from his mission, Yan Yuan and Linlin's way of getting along had changed.

Hearing Linlin constantly referring to "Yan Yuan," Jiang Chengzhou tapped his sister on the forehead, "You're being rude. You should call me brother."

Yan Yuan quickly replied, "It's alright, just call me by my name."

He's now afraid of the word "brother" and wishes he could avoid it at all costs.

Jiang Chengzhou didn't really want to criticize his sister. Yan Yuan himself agreed, so he didn't say anything more.

On New Year's Day, Linlin and Yan Yuan spent the holiday with the elderly.

Thinking of Yan Yuan and Shen Man, who were all alone in the capital, I invited them to my house for dinner that night.

Yan Yuan pursued Linlin right under Jiang Chengzhou's nose, and the two shared a secret, which ironically led to a deeper, inexplicable understanding between them.

Yan Yuan made an excuse to send Jiang Chengzhou and Shen Man out to buy seasonings.

Yan Yuan often came to cook at their home, and over time, Jiang Chengzhou got used to it.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Yan Yuan being too comfortable at home, and followed Shen Man out the door.

Shen Man glanced suspiciously at Yan Yuan and Linlin in the kitchen, sensing that something was amiss.

She frowned, suppressing her doubts for the time being.

Linlin was absentmindedly picking vegetables when she suddenly felt warm breath near her ear. Yan Yuan's clear voice rang out beside her, "What are you thinking about?"

Linlin stiffened, sensing the warmth behind her, and suddenly felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her mouth.

Yan Yuan seemed completely oblivious to the fact that he was standing too close to her, that his position was somewhat inappropriate, and that he didn't notice her unusual behavior. He simply lowered his head again, looking at her with deep, unfathomable eyes. "Would you like boiled beef or tomato beef soup?"

His long, slender, fair hand swept across his shoulder, casually picking through the ingredients. "I'll use your favorite potatoes and mushrooms as side dishes... Anything else?"

Linlin was standing at the corner of the kitchen cabinets, and Yan Yuan's action seemed to have trapped her inside.

"No more!" Linlin glared at him, but her ears turned red.

This was the first time Yan Yuan had so openly "bullied" her. If she hadn't been wearing a turtleneck sweater, the red mark on her neck would have been impossible to hide.

When Jiang Chengzhou and Shen Man returned, they saw Yan Yuan and Linlin standing on one side of the kitchen, their faces flushed, as if they had just had a fight.
