Lin Xiaohai scratched his head, glanced at his sister, and then lowered his head without saying a word.
Lin Wanwan looked at him and sighed, "Just say what's on your mind. Why are you making that face? Don't you trust your sister or what?"
"no!"
Lin Xiaohai immediately denied it.
"Sis, can I ask you a question? Don't lie to me."
"Go ahead and ask. Whether I lie to you or not depends on what question you ask."
Lin Xiaohai remained silent for a while before asking, "What's the relationship between Brother Anyang and Brother Junyi? How come I always see Brother Junyi whenever I go to your place? Why was Brother Junyi there when we had hot pot together before? What exactly is their relationship?"
Lin Wanwan didn't rush to speak, but scrutinized Lin Xiaohai, trying to glean something from his expression.
Lin Xiaohai couldn't stand his two sisters' gazes and lowered his head guiltily.
What do you want to hear me say?
"Say what you mean."
Lin Wanwan stared at him in silence for a long time.
Lin Xiaohai couldn't stand the silence any longer and looked up, calling out, "Sis~ I..."
"Don't speak yet," Lin Wanwan interrupted him.
"Did you meet someone you like in France?"
Lin Xiaohai remained silent.
"Judging from your expression, I guessed right."
Lin Xiaohai didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.
"A boy?"
Lin Xiaohai suddenly looked up at her, "Sister!!"
"Looks like I guessed right again."
"Sister, I...I just...I'm not sure...I..."
Lin Wanwan looked at him and said, "I have all night to listen to you, so don't rush me."
Lin Xiaohai's eyes reddened.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Wanwan, I bought some fruit. Would you and Xiaohai like to come down and have some?"
Lin Wanwan thought for a moment, then walked over, opened the door, and whispered to Lu Feng, "I'm going to talk to Xiao Hai. I had a fight with my mom and I'm in a bad mood."
Lu Feng glanced into the house. "Then I'll have Auntie bring some up. Xiao Hai seems a bit off. You should have a good talk with him."
Lin Wanwan turned to look at her younger brother and nodded.
"Don't bother sending the fruit. We'll be down in a bit. Keep an eye on Mom so she doesn't come upstairs. I'm worried she might overhear us talking badly about her again."
Lu Feng pinched her cheek. "Okay."
Lin Wanwan watched him go downstairs with a smile.
He turned around, went back to his room, closed the door, and looked at Lin Xiaohai.
"No one will be coming upstairs anytime soon. Is there anything you want to tell me?"
After a long while, Lin Xiaohai said with red eyes, "Sister, I was just... just unsure, that's why I ran home."
Lin Wanwan looked at him speechlessly. Why did she always run into people like this? She hadn't done anything particularly evil in her past life, so why was she here to pay off a debt in this life?
He sighed, tilting his head back, "Tell me, what's going on between you and that person?"
After hearing the whole story, Lin Wanwan was stunned. Her brother was so innocent!
"What are you going to do? Go back to China and become a coward?"
Lin Xiaohai lowered his head and remained silent.
"How can you be so spineless? You don't even know if you like someone or not. Are you trying to pull this pure love story on me?"
"Sis, what should I do?"
Seeing that he was about to cry, Lin Wanwan stopped teasing him.
"First figure out your own feelings, then worry about other things. Is it hard to leave him? Do you miss him? When you eat something delicious or see a beautiful view, do you subconsciously turn your head to call him and then feel disappointed when you find he's not there?"
Lin Xiaohai was completely stunned.
"Sister, what should I do? What about Mom and Dad?"
"So you're asking this because you've figured it out?"
"I wasn't sure at first, but after being back for so long, I seem to have slowly come to understand my own feelings. But I'm scared, sister."
"If you're afraid, then cut it off; don't add to your troubles."
"But I..."
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of other people's opinions? Vicious insults? Or are you afraid that your parents won't approve?"
"Is there a difference?" Lin Xiaohai looked at her, puzzled.
"Of course there are, there are fundamental differences."
Lin Wanwan sighed, "If you can't figure it out, just think about it slowly. Once you understand it, then worry about what happens next."
"Sis, aren't you going to scold me?"
"Why should I scold you? I'll say it again: everyone has the right to choose what kind of life they want to live. As long as you've thought it through and are determined to move forward, what's there to scold?
"You had only graduated three years ago, and you wanted to go to the embassy in France. Your parents tried to stop you, but you were so determined to go. What did I say?"
“You said you were very happy to see me moving firmly toward my goals, and that you would support me no matter what, and you even helped me persuade my parents to stay on track.”
Lin Wanwan looked at his slightly reddened eyes and said with a smile, "If I am still like this now, as long as it is your firm choice and you have enough courage, I will support you."
Lin Xiaohai rushed over and hugged her, "Sister, thank you."
Lin Wanwan also reached out and hugged him, "Alright, why are you saying this? You still have to solve this yourself. But don't be afraid, no matter what happens in the end, at least your brother-in-law and I will stand by your side and support you unconditionally."
"Alright, let's go downstairs, or Mom will come rushing up here soon."
Lin Xiaohai couldn't help but laugh. "Then you go down first, I'll go down in a bit."
Lin Wanwan nodded, "Okay, don't think too much about it."
As they came downstairs, He Yumei looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked, "What were you talking about? Why did you talk for so long?"
"We talked about some work-related things, and before we knew it, we had been chatting for so long."
"Why isn't Xiao Hai coming down yet?" Lu Feng looked up at the stairs.
"I don't know, whatever, I'll be downstairs for dinner soon."
Lin Wanwan didn't tell anyone about this, not even Lu Feng.
In March, Lin Xiaohai announced to his whole family that he was going back to France.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and He Yumei was the first to ask.
Why would you want to go back for no reason?
Lin Xiaohai said with a smile, "In the past two months, I've talked to my sister and Brother Jinyan several times. We feel that it's better to go back to France first. Brother Jinyan also thinks so. After weighing the pros and cons, I'll go back first and consider coming back in a couple of years."
He Yumei was about to say something when Lin Jianbang interrupted her, "Alright, you've grown up. You're mature and do an excellent job. I believe you've thought about it for a long time, so we won't stop you. Just make sure you've thought it through."
He Yumei opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
"Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom. I'll try to come back more often in the future."
Seeing that the two elders were a little down, Lin Wanwan gave Lu Jing a meaningful look.
Xiao Jing is a quick-witted girl, and she immediately realized what was going on.
"Grandma, Uncle isn't home, but my brother and I will come to visit you often from now on."
He Yumei smiled and said, "I understand."
"Grandma, do you not like me anymore? You only like Uncle?"
"No, Grandma likes you and Xiaoming the most. They all have to take a backseat."
