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

Shen Man wanted to ask, what's the difference between what you're doing and being in a relationship?

But seeing Linlin's silly look, she didn't expose her, otherwise she might have even helped Yan Yuan.

She became serious and earnestly said to Linlin, "If you're happy, you can play around with him, but if you're not, you must clearly reject him and not worry about our past relationship. Since he chose to pursue you, it means he's abandoned his role as your brother, understand?"

"I understand," Linlin replied obediently.

Shen Man then smiled, "Good girl, if you're happy, I won't interfere. If you're unhappy, just tell me."

The little girl might not dare to tell her parents, Shen Man thought. Perhaps if she were more gentle and open-minded, the little girl might not hide it from her.

It was already evening when I finished cleaning up.

Shen Man had to go to the hospital for her internship the next morning, so she prepared to leave first.

It was dark and slippery outside, so Jiang Chengzhou took a flashlight and escorted her back.

Shen Man also had something to say to him, so she didn't refuse.

On the way, Shen Man deliberately brought it up, "Linlin's in college now, is anyone pursuing her?"

Jiang Chengzhou chuckled and said, "There are plenty, but the little girl didn't fancy any of them. They're all just little brats, they're no good."

Shen Man remained silent.

Yes, little kids are useless, but "old" men are very cunning.

Shen Man promised Linlin she wouldn't tell anyone, but she was still worried and reminded Jiang Chengzhou, "Linlin and Yan Yuan have a good relationship. I even saw Yan Yuan eating Linlin's leftovers today."

Jiang Chengzhou patted the snow off his coat and laughed, "We can't waste food, right? The family doesn't care about that anymore. My uncle even often eats my aunt's leftovers."

"..." Shen Man was speechless for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "The uncle and aunt are quite affectionate."

"Of course," Jiang Chengzhou said with a smile.

Shen Man stopped and turned to look at him. "Jiang Chengzhou, are you stupid?"

"Huh?" Jiang Chengzhou looked bewildered.

Shen Man was so annoyed by his slowness that she turned around, but her foot slipped on a patch of ice.

Jiang Chengzhou reacted quickly, reaching out to support her arm and pulling her back.

"And you call me stupid?" Jiang Chengzhou released her hand after making sure she was steady. "Dr. Shen can't even walk steadily?"

Shen Man took a deep breath. "Alright, I'll be careful. We're on the main road now, I can go home by myself. You should go home quickly. I'm worried about leaving Yan Yuan and Linlin home alone so late at night."

Jiang Chengzhou shone his flashlight down the road. "It's alright, Yan Yuan is watching over us."

Shen Man stared at him for a few seconds.

I'm only worried because Yan Yuan is around! You idiot!

Shen Man walked quickly outside, and only when she reached the school gate did she impatiently urge him back.

Jiang Chengzhou handed her the flashlight. After watching the light disappear below the dormitory building, he tightened his collar and turned to walk back.

Linlin waited in the room, and sure enough, a knock came at the door shortly afterward.

She opened the door a crack. "What's wrong?"

Yan Yuan gestured to the basin of water he was holding, "Your room is too dry, it would be better to wring out a damp towel and put it next to the radiator."

"All right."

Linlin heard the reason and opened the door to the room.

Her room was decorated in a very tasteful way.

The walls were very clean, and a cast iron radiator was installed under the south window. The window was slightly ajar for ventilation.

The solid wood single bed in the middle is covered with a fresh and elegant printed sheet. Next to it is a dressing table with a mirror, on which small items such as face cream, handkerchiefs, and combs are placed.

There was a desk next to the window, with books and a violin case on it, and a small bookshelf next to it with a few books scattered around.

There was also a coat rack in the corner, with Linlin's coat and scarf hanging there, and cushions were scattered everywhere, which showed the owner's affluence and relaxation.

As the entire room was revealed to Yan Yuan, Linlin suddenly blushed, as if she were proactively revealing her private side to him.

"very beautiful."

Yan Yuan's usually cool voice took on a slightly hoarse tone, whether from entering a girl's room—a private place—or from the pervasive fragrance within…

Yan Yuan suddenly realized he had lost his composure. His manners and upbringing didn't allow him to stay in the girl's room any longer. He took a step back. "You do it yourself?"

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Her eyes were like stars, and she held a faint smile that spoke volumes.

The other one was so shy that even her pointed ears started to turn red.

Linlin realized she had been staring at Yan Yuan in a daze, so she quickly coughed lightly and wrung out a towel to divert her attention.

Yan Yuan also felt a little uncomfortable and lowered his eyes.

While hanging up the towels, Linlin secretly glanced at Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan seems to prefer black and gray. His usual attire, whether it's a cashmere sweater, coat, wool coat, or trousers of various colors, is basically black or gray.

But today, he surprisingly wore a white wool sweater.

Black gives people a sense of solemnity, indifference, detachment and coldness. Yan Yuan was mature from a young age and his temperament was also cold. Wearing black made him look even more noble and aloof.

However, he hasn't been to sea for a long time now, and his skin has recovered, becoming much fairer and clearer. Wearing black suits him well, giving him a cool and aloof feeling.

As for today's white...

It made him appear much gentler, more humane, and his demeanor more dignified and mild, as if he had become two years younger and more harmless.

Lin Lin felt that she must have been bewitched by his outfit today, otherwise why couldn't she take her eyes off him?

She placed the damp towel next to the radiator, then walked over and stared blankly at Yan Yuan.

Why didn't she think Yan Yuan was so good-looking before?

He stood quietly at the door, the dim light unable to conceal his gentle and reserved demeanor. As he gazed at her, a soft light spread across his deep, pool-like eyes, sending a shiver down one's spine.

And why are his eyes so bright?

Even the gesture of raising an eyebrow is so charming?

When her thin lips are pursed, they exude an indescribable sensuality...

Linlin was wearing a beige loungewear set at home. Because she was wringing out a towel, she casually rolled up the sleeves to her forearms. She wore loose knitted trousers in the same color. Her long hair was loosely tied up. She was bathed in warm light and looked at herself with a dazed expression, which made people's hearts soften and just want to hug her.

Yan Yuan originally intended to leave after delivering the wet towels, but Xiao Yue Liang was looking at him so expectantly...

One can't have two. There's no reason for him to back down now after he's already made concessions.

Yan Yuan took a step forward, and the distance between the two instantly closed.

He lowered his head slightly and said softly, "What are you thinking about?"

Linlin looked up at him and blurted out, almost without thinking, "I've heard that men with thin lips are all heartless."
