Chapter 4 Brother, I Will Always Be On Your Side
After Li Mianmian finished speaking, she felt a little self-assertive, because her parents didn't let her talk about it.

It's just that she was worried that Gu Yanci would think she was too bad, so she wanted to beg him in advance.

She hesitated for many days, but she never had the courage.

To this day he gives himself presents.

At this moment, she suddenly had a feeling of arrogance and arrogance.

I felt that as long as I spoke up brazenly, he would definitely agree.

Her shadow was reflected in Gu Yanci's eyes, surrounded by waves as warm as water.

Li Mianmian looked at him, feeling an inexplicable swelling in her heart.

After coming to this strange place, she found a sense of security for the first time, not in her parents.

It was this strange upstairs brother.

But Gu Yanci did not directly answer her question.

Maybe because the question was too sudden, he hesitated for a moment before responding: "I will discuss this with my uncle and aunt."

Li Mianmian looked like a deflated balloon: "Oh."
-
When the two entered the house, parents were still busy in the kitchen.

The table was already full of dishes, and Li Yan was sitting alone on the sofa watching cartoons.

Hearing the sound, he glanced towards the door, and then saw Li Mianmian holding a white rabbit doll in his arms, smiling and not speaking.

Li Mianmian was a little puzzled -- why did this little guy smile so creepily today.

Before every time before eating, he would pester himself to play games with him, but today he is so obedient.

Gu Yanci took out his slippers and put them on in a familiar way, it seemed that this was not the first time he had come here.

Li Mianmian followed behind him, but she looked like a guest.

After going to the kitchen to say hello, Gu Yanci brought out the dishes by the way.

Not long after, five people sat neatly at the table.

Li Yan poked back and forth in the bowl with his chopsticks, and accidentally dropped the chopsticks to the ground.

Li Mianmian looked over and was about to help pick up the chopsticks.

"Li Yan!" Li Changfeng's stern voice sounded: "Eating is delicious, are chopsticks for playing?"

Li Yan thanked Li Mianmian with a hippie smile, then turned to Li Changfeng and said, "It wasn't intentional, it wasn't intentional, you guys continue."

Lan Qingwan persuaded gently: "Xiao Yan, your brother Yan Ci is here today, eat obediently."

This sentence was very effective, Li Yan picked up the clean chopsticks beside him and buried himself in the rice.

Li Mianmian looked at his younger brother, then at Gu Yanci.

I thought that this little guy was not afraid of the sky and the earth, but he didn't expect him to be afraid of the big brother upstairs.

"It's like this, I just want to play with it all day, so ignore him." After coaxing Li Yan, Lan Qingwan took a piece of braised pork for Gu Yanci: "Try the braised pork made by Auntie."

Gu Yanci took the bowl and said, "Thank you, Aunt Lan."

Halfway through the meal, Lan Qingwan winked at Li Mianmian and asked her to pour Gu Yanci a drink.

There is freshly squeezed peach juice in the kitchen, Li Mianmian nodded, picked up Gu Yanci's cup and ran away.

When she passed by, she was in a hurry, but when she came back, she was cautious, holding the glass tightly with both hands.

In just a few steps, she walked with sweat on her forehead, for fear that she might fall if she didn't pay attention.

This is mainly because she has been beaten for breaking a bowl before, so whenever there is something in a fragile container, she is subconsciously nervous.

However, as soon as she turned out of the kitchen, her hand suddenly became empty.
-
It was Gu Yanci who got up and took the cup.

He was tall, standing on the seat, and could touch her with a little reach.

That hand and foot were as big as her two palms, with slender and strong fingers, and when they inadvertently touched the back of her hand, there was a fiery temperature.

For a few seconds, Li Mianmian felt her heart beating extremely fast.

When she returned to her seat, Li Yan put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, and said very politely: "I'm full, I'm going back to play." After finishing speaking, he ran away.

Li Changfeng stood up and said to Lan Qingwan, "I'll go and see that kid, you and Xiaoci have a good chat."

The bedroom door was closed, and Li Yande's voice came from inside: "I'm so obedient today, you still let me do my homework, let your dear son go!"

Lan Qingwan was so embarrassed that she smiled at Gu Yanci: "This kid is all playful."

Gu Yanci didn't take it to heart at all. He put down his chopsticks, looked at Li Mianmian reassuringly, and then asked, "Auntie asked me to come today because she wants to talk to me about making up lessons for Mianmian?"

Lan Qingwan was slightly taken aback: "You know all about this?"

Gu Yanci nodded: "Mianmian told me just now."

"Oh, that."

Lan Qingwan gave an overview of Li Mianmian's previous study, and then said hesitantly, "Our main reason is to ask if you have time for summer vacation. If you don't have time, we won't force you."

"I have time." Gu Yanci said without hesitation, "It depends on whether you have any other requests, Auntie."

Li Mianmian looked at him blankly.

Gu Yanci didn't answer immediately when she asked earlier, she thought he would not agree.

Didn't expect him to respond so easily.

"We don't have any requirements, but we need to trouble you to take care of Mianmian." Lan Qingwan said, "Your Uncle Li and I have to go to work, and Xiaoyan, we enroll him in a cram school, and Mianmian is usually alone at home. She doesn't know how to use many things, and your uncle and I are worried that something will happen."

"Don't worry." Although Lan Qingwan said it very tactfully, Gu Yanci still heard the voice: "I'm not busy during the summer vacation, so I can always be with her. Mianmian's situation really requires long-term tutoring."

Lan Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you so much."

Gu Yanci: "Auntie, you are being polite."

Lan Qingwan originally wanted to talk about tuition fees, but since Li Mianmian was here, she didn't want to raise the money in front of her children, so she decided to find another time to talk.

In the bedroom, I don't know what Li Changfeng said, but Li Yan stopped crying.

After dinner, Lan Qingwan asked Li Mianmian to take Gu Yan out of the study, so that Gu Yanci could understand Li Mianmian's study situation.

When tidying up the dishes, Lan Qingwan noticed that the door of the study room was not closed, and a stool was purposely placed against the door, so she motioned for Li Changfeng to look.

With a smile on the corner of Li Changfeng's mouth, he said in a low voice: "We watched this child grow up, so his character must be fine."
-
In the study room, the light from the desk lamp reflected the handwriting on the book very clearly.

Recalling the low-wattage incandescent lights at dusk, it was clearly a few days ago, but it seems like a lifetime ago.

Whenever she sat in this room, Li Mianmian would think, in fact, she had thought that her younger brother would cry before she came here, but it seemed to be different from what she thought.

This study room used to be where Li Yan did her homework, but now more than half of it is hers.

Even so, Li Yan never expressed dissatisfaction, and this family seems to be very good.

But sometimes she still wonders whether Li Yan thinks that "she stole his parents away", or that "with her parents' love, half is also taken away".

Only when facing Gu Yanci, she felt much more at ease.

Because Gu Yanci doesn't belong to this family, she doesn't need to feel guilty, although she is a bit shameless.

Realizing that she was absent-minded, Gu Yanci stopped flipping through the book and asked aloud, "Why are you distracted?"

Li Mianmian pursed her lips and turned to look at him.

After a while, she said in a low voice: "Did my brother have a bad relationship with Li Yan before?"

After asking, she began to condemn herself in her heart.

Feeling like a cheapskate who is jealous.

"Huh?" Gu Yanci raised his lips, perhaps feeling amused: "If I have a good relationship with him, what will you do?"

".I'm not that good." Li Mianmian touched her hot ears quietly, and said sullenly, "I'm just afraid that he will think that I stole what belongs to him."

No——Li Mianmian once again condemned herself in her heart—she was clearly testing him, hoping to hear a negative answer from him.

The house was quiet.

Gu Yanci closed the book: "I have a normal relationship with him. He may not dare to talk to me because he looks at me fiercely."

Li Mianmian was curious: "Why?"

Gu Yanci smiled: "All children are afraid of me."

"But I'm not afraid of you."

After subconsciously speaking, Li Mianmian added with some embarrassment: "I think brother is very good, why should I be afraid of you?"

"Really?" Gu Yanci deliberately frightened her with a straight face: "I'm actually very fierce."

Li Mianmian: "But my brother has never been mean to me."

Gu Yanci bent his lower lip irresistibly.

Li Mianmian stared at him, feeling a sudden impulse in her heart.

She exhaled lightly, her voice was very small, as if she was talking to herself, "But I think... my brother is a little... biased toward me."

As if thinking it was funny, Gu Yanci patted her on the head lightly.

"Yes." His voice was a bit of teasing, and he said coaxing a child: "Brother, I will always favor you."
