"Big brother!"

A little boy ran quickly toward Lin Xun, a joyful smile on his innocent face.

It was rice, which I hadn't seen in a long time.

Lin Xun smiled and reached out to catch him, ruffling his hair and saying with a smile, "You still remember me?"

Da Mi exclaimed excitedly, "Of course! Big brother, you haven't been here for so long! Xiao Li and I have missed you so much!"

Upon hearing this, a gentle smile appeared on Lin Xun's face: "I miss you all too. Where's Xiao Li?"

"She's doing her homework," Da Mi said crisply. "The teacher assigned a lot of homework."

Lin Xun laughed and said, "Then why don't you write it?"

Dami said somewhat embarrassedly, "I...I'll just play for a while, and Xiaoli will copy it for me later."

Lin Xun: ...

Li Xiaoxiao: ...

This little brat is already so young and already knows how to get something for nothing. What will he be like when he grows up?

Lin Xun poked his forehead: "You little rascal, you can't let Xiao Li write it all by herself."

"Okay, I'll go keep her company now." Da Mi scratched his head.

After all, she's his future wife, so Da Mi still cares about Xiao Li a lot.

They still have some conscience.

Lin Xun nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, the other children also gathered around.

"Is Da Mi the older brother who helped Xiao Li?"

"Did the big brother make our courtyard so beautiful?"

The children chattered excitedly, asking questions about the rice.

Goodness, it seems that Lin Xun's deeds have already spread among these children.

Dami said proudly, "Of course, big brother is such a good person. When I grow up, I will repay him properly. And on the day I marry Xiaoli, I will ask big brother to be my witness."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xun and Li Xiaoxiao were both shocked.

This little rascal even knows about the wedding officiant?

For a moment, the children looked at Lin Xun with admiration.

Lin Xun felt a little embarrassed being stared at by so many innocent eyes.

But I'm still very satisfied inside.

He ruffled Da Mi's hair and teased, "You want to marry Xiao Li?"

Da Mi nodded firmly: "Yes!"

Lin Xun smiled and said, "Then you'd better work hard. Xiao Li is studying hard now and will become a very outstanding girl in the future. Many boys will like her. If you don't work hard, Xiao Li might be snatched away by someone else."

Upon hearing this, Dami immediately fell into deep thought, her little face scrunched up.

Does that mean Xiao Li will have many boys who like her? Does that mean he won't be able to marry her?

"Hehe, big brother is right. Xiaoli is so pretty, Da Mi, you definitely won't be able to marry her." A little girl said with a smile.

“That’s right, that’s right, Xiaoli should like someone as strong as me, so I can protect her!” a boy chimed in.

Lin Xun looked over upon hearing the sound and immediately fell silent.

The boy who was speaking wasn't exactly strong; he was more like a chubby guy.

Dami glared at her friends and said domineeringly, "Xiaoli is mine, hmph! You can't take her from me!"

After saying that, he turned and ran in one direction, seemingly wanting to get back to Xiaoli's side as soon as possible.

Several children chased after them, laughing and joking.

Lin Xun smiled slightly as he watched this scene.

“They really like the senior.” Li Xiaoxiao remarked from the side.

Lin Xun said calmly, "Children are easy to get along with. As long as you teach them the right knowledge, you will find that they are all little angels."

Li Xiaoxiao nodded.

Lin Xun glanced at her and said, "Aren't you going to help?"

"Huh?" Li Xiaoxiao looked bewildered.

Lin Xun said calmly, "You're here to volunteer. They're all working. If you stay here, they'll probably complain. You should go help them."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoxiao felt a pang of disappointment. Why was her senior so cold? Did he really not want to be with her that much?

Lin Xun ignored her and strode off to follow the children.

Li Xiaoxiao could only leave in the direction she had come from.

Before long, Lin Xun arrived at a small courtyard.

A small shed was set up in the yard, with two long tables under it. Several children were sitting on stools, bending over to do their homework.

Another woman was there to offer guidance.

Upon seeing Lin Xun approach, the woman quickly came to greet him.

"Mr. Lin, you've arrived?"

Lin Xun smiled slightly: "Are the children studying?"

The woman smiled and nodded: "They are all very hardworking. Thanks to Mr. Lin, the children have the opportunity to study. You don't know until you study, all the children are very talented."

Lin Xun's gaze fell on the children, as if he saw the future reflected in them.

While reading is not the only way out, not reading will be a lifelong regret.

The saying "Knowledge changes destiny" is true.

"I've come to see Xiaoli."

The woman laughed and said, "She's inside, over there."

She pointed to a room.

Lin Xun nodded: "You guys continue with your work, don't worry about me."

As he spoke, he walked over.

Lin Xun walked to the door, which was ajar, and he could hear Dami's voice coming from inside.

He knocked gently on the door.

A clear, crisp voice came from inside the door: "Please come in."

He pushed open the door and saw Xiaoli sitting at her desk, concentrating on her homework. Dami rested his chin on the table, gazing at Xiaoli with a lovesick expression.

Lin Xun chuckled and asked, "Doing your homework?"

Xiao Li looked up and gave a sweet smile: "Yes, big brother."

Dami had just told her that her older brother was coming, and she wanted to wait until she finished her homework before going to see him, but she didn't expect him to come by himself.

Lin Xun smiled slightly as he looked at her obedient appearance. The little girl's eyes had changed a lot compared to before. They were now clear and bright, full of hope.

A thought struck him, and he walked over to Xiaoli, picked up her notebook and looked at it. The handwriting wasn't particularly beautiful, but it was clear and easy to read.

"It's really well written," Lin Xun praised.

Xiao Li lowered her head shyly: "Thank you, big brother."

Lin Xun smiled and patted her head: "Keep up the good work, you will definitely become an outstanding person in the future."

Xiao Li nodded vigorously: "Yes! I will try my best. I understand. Big brother helped me and enabled me to see again. I will repay big brother in the future."

Lin Xun chuckled: "Studying hard is the best way to repay me."

Xiao Li's young face was full of determination.

Suddenly, Da Mi raised her hand and said, "Me too! I want to study hard too!"

To repay my older brother, I will strive to marry Xiaoli as soon as possible!

Lin Xun smiled and glanced at him: "You kid, you'd better work harder, otherwise, there's no hope."

Rice nodded firmly.

Xiao Li blinked her big eyes, puzzled.

What's hopeless?
