When Fang Si opened the door, he saw Fang Lan with a smile on her face.
Fang Si's question was visibly puzzled: "Why are you here?"
Lin Ruanruan peeked out from behind Fang Lan, "Hello, Brother Fang Si!"
Fang Lan seized the opportunity to squeeze in, "Wow, bro, you have so many figurines here! Can I have one?"
Fang Si welcomed Lin Ruanruan in and brought out slippers that had been prepared in advance.
"Fang Lan, if you keep jumping around like this, I'll have someone send you back to the old house. Come here right now and change your slippers."
Fang Lan quickly obeyed and changed into the disposable slippers her brother threw at her, looking hurt. "Wow, brother, you're being unfair to me."
"The one you gave me was disposable, but the one you gave Ruanruan was specially bought. Am I your real brother?"
Fang Si stood to the side with his arms crossed, saying, "I hope not."
Fang Lan clutched her heart, heartbroken, and murmured that there was no love left.
Lin Ruanruan was amused by the interaction between the two brothers; it was the first time she had ever seen such a scene of brotherly affection and respect.
Seeing that Lin Ruanruan had changed her shoes, Fang Si ignored Fang Lan, who was still grumbling on the side, and said, "Come on, little sister, come in and sit down."
Lin Ruanruan followed behind Fang Si, and the first thing she saw was a display case filled with all sorts of figurines. "Wow~"
Fang Si introduced the items to Lin Ruanruan with a smile in her eyes, "These are all things I liked when I was in school. If you like them, I can install them for you."
Before Lin Ruanruan could answer, Fang Lan leaned in, "Sister Ruan likes this, this, and this..."
"Brother, wrap them all up, my soft sister likes them."
Fang Si kicked Fang Lan, but Fang Lan nimbly dodged it. "Get lost, you wish. Do you think I don't know you like all of these things?"
Lin Ruanruan quickly pushed Fang Lan into the living room; if they didn't leave, Fang Lan would try to take her away.
Apart from the dazzling display cabinets at the beginning, Fang Si's house was decorated in a very simple way, with the whole house basically in black, white and gray tones.
Lin Ruanruan sat properly on the sofa and quickly glanced over the decoration and layout. She felt that Fang Sige might be a clean freak, as the floor and furniture were spotless, and there was nothing superfluous on the sofa and coffee table.
Yes, as expected of a domineering CEO.
Fang Lan slumped unsteadily on the edge of the sofa, earning a disapproving glare from Fang Si, who then looked at Lin Ruanruan gently, "What would you like to drink, little sister? A beverage, tea, coffee, or milk?"
"Milk is fine, thank you, Brother Fang Si."
"I want a soda~" Fang Lan said lazily.
Fang Si heated up a cup of milk for Lin Ruanruan, saying, "I added some sugar; it should taste better that way."
Fang Lan sat up straight. "Brother, where's my soda?"
Fang Si squeezed past Fang Lan and sat next to Lin Ruanruan. "Does this look like I have some soda here?"
Fang Lan was pushed to the floor and said incredulously, "Then why didn't you say anything just now?"
He had to wait there.
"I didn't say I was going to get you a soda." Fang Si raised an eyebrow.
Fang Lan angrily headed straight for the kitchen, wanting to see what delicious food and drinks his brother had prepared.
Lin Ruanruan blinked. Wait, why did Fang Lan leave? It's so awkward leaving her here alone.
Fang Si lay back on the sofa and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "It must have been hard for my sister and Fang Lan to play together."
Lin Ruanruan quickly replied, "Fang Lan is a very nice person. She helped me when I was being bullied before."
"Oh? My brother is useful for this?" Fang Si looked at Lin Ruanruan.
Lin Ruanruan smiled shyly and told Fang Si about how Fang Lan had helped her after transferring classes last semester.
Fang Si had heard that Lin Ruanruan was different from normal people before, "Then you must have suffered a lot of grievances, right?"
"It's alright, it's all in the past." Lin Ruanruan shook her head. With her parents' protection throughout her life, she hadn't actually suffered any harm.
Fang Si reached out and ruffled Lin Ruanruan's hair. He actually only saw Lin Ruanruan as a younger sister. Like his mother, who always wanted a daughter, he always wanted a younger sister.
So when he heard his mother's plan, he was both amused and exasperated. However, Ruan Ruan was indeed well-behaved, and he invited her this time to see if the two of them were a good match.
It turned out that he had no such intentions at all, and Ruan Ruan wasn't very comfortable with him either.
"If only you were my little sister, Ruanruan," Fang Si sighed.
Lin Ruanruan looked at Fang Si, who suddenly seemed sad, with a puzzled expression. Fang Lan rushed out of the kitchen at that moment, "Brother, what's this pumpkin for? It looks like tea."
Fang Si felt his head spin when he saw what Fang Lan was holding. "That's Golden Melon Tribute Tea! You spendthrift, put it down right now!"
Fang Lan broke off a piece and smelled it. "It really is tea. I've never seen it before."
Fang Si nearly erupted like a volcano; the usually calm and composed man couldn't hold back in front of his younger brother. He grabbed Fang Lan by the head and dragged him into the kitchen.
Lin Ruanruan realized she understood why Fang Sige had been so sad earlier; she would have been sad too if she had this younger brother.
That Golden Melon Tribute Tea is a rare and precious variety of Pu'er tea, worth at least 3.5 million yuan per kilogram. Fang Lan just managed to swindle a whole piece of it.
Although she didn't know much about tea, her father, Lin Tianba, knew a little about it and talked about it in her ear every day, so even if she couldn't remember it, she could still get the gist of it.
Fang Lan was only released by Fang Si when she shouted that murder was illegal. Her younger brother's voice was so loud that it almost ruptured her eardrums.
Fang Lan slipped over to Lin Ruanruan's side and said, "It was terrifying. Ruanruan, my brother almost killed me."
Lin Ruanruan sighed and shook her head, "It's a good thing you're not my brother."
Fang Lan protested, "How can I not be? I am your half-brother."
He now relies on Lin Ruanruan to give him pocket money.
Fang Si rubbed his wrist, raised an eyebrow at Fang Lan who seemed unharmed, and thought to himself, "This kid can really take a beating."
In the end, Fang Si still cooked a sumptuous lunch for the two little ones, and Fang Lan ate with great relish, exclaiming, "Brother, how come I didn't know you were such a good cook?"
Fang Si used serving chopsticks to put food on Lin Ruanruan's plate and said, "If you go abroad for a few years, you can become a master chef too."
"Why don't you open a Chinese restaurant where you live?" Fang Lan suggested to Fang Si.
"I'm the CEO, not a money-giving philanthropist." How could his brother even think of that?
Fang Si originally wanted to keep Lin Ruanruan to play a little longer, but his younger brother was too noisy, and if Fang Lan stayed any longer, he would develop high blood pressure at such a young age.
So, despite Fang Lan's reluctance, Fang Si kicked him out and took Lin Ruanruan home with him.
