There was a lot of talk outside. Wang Rou looked at her son beside her and said, "You're not allowed to go to the beach either, or I'll beat you up just like Aunt Lin did."

"Hmm." Li Xuan lowered his head, but there was a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

After calming herself down, Lin Zhilan pushed the two children away and said sternly, "You two will stand here as punishment! You can move when I say you can!"

"it is good."

"it is good."

Jiang Chengzhou and Yan Yuan agreed through sobs, their aggrieved expressions and wet eyes making them look pitiful, like two poor little dogs.

Lin Zhilan hardened her heart and ignored it, taking Linlin to the kitchen to boil water.

Linlin realized that her mother was angry, so she sat obediently in her mother's lap, cupped her face, and tried to calm her mother down with kisses.

Lin Zhilan took a sip of the milk ball and finally regained some of her strength.

The water on the stove is hot, and the steamed buns on it are also hot.

Lin Zhilan is still maintaining the posture of a "strict parent," so she asked her daughter to deliver the steamed buns to her two older brothers.

The boys were whispering to each other facing the wall, but immediately fell silent when they heard footsteps.

"Brother~"

A sweet, childlike voice sounded from behind. Jiang Chengzhou secretly turned his head and saw Linlin with her big eyes open, holding two steamed buns that were bigger than her face.

"Brother, eat!" Linlin pushed the steamed bun forward.

Jiang Chengzhou glanced into the kitchen. "Is Auntie still angry?"

Linlin puffed out her cheeks and nodded emphatically, "I'm angry!"

"Oh..." Jiang Chengzhou lowered his head, took the steamed bun, and took a bite.

Yan Yuan stood facing the wall, motionless.

Linlin was puzzled and handed the steamed bun to him.

Yan Yuan shook his head. Flour was too expensive; he couldn't eat other people's food.

Linlin was puzzled. Her mother's steamed buns were so delicious, why didn't this little boy eat them?

She stumbled and put it into his mouth.

Yan Yuan took a step back, his ears turning red. "I don't want it, you can take it back."

Linlin frowned, feeling that this young man was not very obedient.

She tore off a piece with her little hands and imitated how an adult fed her, "Ah—"

Jiang Chengzhou frowned. "Yan Yuan, my sister has already fed you, why aren't you eating? Be careful or I'll beat you up."

Yan Yuan was speechless, looking at this "good brother" who had said he would go to great lengths for him just three minutes ago, and helplessly opened his mouth.

Linlin seemed to have found the joy in feeding him, feeding him spoonful after spoonful.

To accommodate her height, Yan Yuan changed from standing to squatting.

Jiang Chengzhou finished his steamed bun, pointed at Yan Yuan and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, Yan Yuan, you look like a dog now."

Yan Yuan suddenly blushed from his ears to his neck, stood up and refused to eat anymore, feeling his face burning.

Seeing that he wasn't eating anymore, Linlin assumed it was because of Jiang Chengzhou's earlier remark. She stomped her foot angrily and yelled at Jiang Chengzhou, "You stinky brother!"

Jiang Chengzhou was displeased upon hearing this, "Lin Lin, you are my sister, you can't side with others."

He reached out to pinch his sister's puffed-up cheeks, but Linlin turned away to avoid him.

The little girl, as if in a huff, shoved the remaining half of the steamed bun into Yan Yuan's hand, then turned and ran to the kitchen to find her mother.

Jiang Chengzhou snorted and decided to cut ties with Yan Yuan for one minute.

Who told him to steal his sister from him?

From the kitchen came Linlin's childish voice complaining, mixed with Lin Zhilan's gentle voice.

Yan Yuan lowered his head, brought the steamed bun to his mouth, and carefully took a bite.

The wheat aroma is still there, but it doesn't taste as good as before.

After the two boys had been standing for a while, Lin Zhilan told them to take a hot bath.

As soon as they finished washing up, two bowls of hot ginger soup were already laid out on the living room table.

"Drink it all." Lin Zhilan still didn't have a good look on her face, and then went to the kitchen.

Jiang Chengzhou and Yan Yuan exchanged a glance and obediently drank their soup.

Linlin looked on longingly, but Yan Yuan pursed his lips and said, "This doesn't taste good."

"Try it," Linlin tugged at his sleeve, "Brother, let me try it~"

Yan Yuan glanced at Jiang Chengzhou with a troubled expression. Seeing that he pretended not to hear, he could only say awkwardly, "It's very spicy, can you just try a little bit?"

"Okay~"

Yan Yun carefully scooped up half a spoonful, blew on it gently, and brought it to Linlin's lips.

Linlin opened her little mouth expectantly and took a sip. The next second, her face scrunched up like a bun, and tears streamed down her face.

She opened her mouth, fanning herself frantically with her little hands, "Ooh...it's spicy, so spicy!"

Yan Yuan was at a loss, not knowing where to begin in trying to comfort him.

Jiang Chengzhou immediately put down his bowl, hugged his younger sister, patted her back and coaxed her, "It's okay, it's okay, don't cry, brother will get you some candy."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glare at Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan stood frozen in place, spoon in hand, watching Linlin sobbing uncontrollably, when a strange thought suddenly popped into his head.

Was he outmaneuvered by Jiang Chengzhou?

"Brother, I want some water..." Linlin sobbed.

"Coming, coming!" Jiang Chengzhou quickly poured water, fed it to his sister, and then peeled a piece of fruit candy and put it in her mouth.

Linlin, with candy in her mouth and tears still wet on her face, snuggled close to her brother, her little hands gripping his clothes tightly.

Yan Yuan silently finished the rest of the ginger soup, feeling both spicy and warm.

He peeked out and saw Jiang Chengzhou wiping his sister's tears while secretly making a smug face at him.

We were definitely outmaneuvered.

Yan Yuan lowered his eyes.

Linlin is Jiang Chengzhou's younger sister.

It's not his.

he knows.

Yan Yuan ate lunch at home. The food was delicious, but Lin Zhilan had a stern face, and the atmosphere wasn't good.

Jiang Chengzhou put down his chopsticks, walked up to Lin Zhilan, and said, "Aunt, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."

"What did you do wrong?"

"I was disobedient and went to the beach without an adult around." Jiang Chengzhou said sincerely, his fingers twirling the hem of his clothes.

Lin Zhilan sighed, "Chengzhou, a wise person doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. You and your sister are the treasures of the family. If anything happens to you, the family will be heartbroken. You must protect yourself and not put yourself in danger."

Jiang Chengzhou's throat seemed to be blocked, and his voice was hoarse. "I understand."

Yan Yuan also came over, head down, and said, "Auntie, I know I was wrong."

"What I said to Chengzhou is also what I'm saying to you. You must cherish your life, understand?"

"Um."

"Alright, let's eat." Lin Zhilan gently patted their heads, a smile finally appearing on her face.

When Jiang Chengzhou saw his aunt smile, his usual outgoing personality resurfaced.

"Auntie, if I make a mistake again, you can hit me again, as many times as you want."

Lin Zhilan served food to Linlin and said calmly, "I won't hit you."

"Hehe." Jiang Chengzhou was happy, feeling that his aunt cared about him.

Lin Zhilan continued, "I'm not very strong, but your uncle is. We'll save our strength for when he gets back so we can fight together."

Jiang Chengzhou: "..."

Yan Yuan chuckled to himself, a warm feeling welling up inside him.

After dinner, Lin Zhilan asked Jiang Chengzhou to stay home and look after her younger sister while she took Yan Yuan home.

But who could have imagined that in just a short while, Jiang Chengzhou would give her another "surprise".
