Chapter 48

“Ranran, you really are beautiful.” Lin Han sighed as she looked at the immortal-like beauty beneath the plum tree. The dazzling sunlight fell on her, as if scattering a layer of radiance over her body.

“No, Cousin is very beautiful too.” Fu Xinran smiled and waved the huge plum in her hand. The fruit was beautiful and lovely.

This was not flattery. Lin Han really was beautiful, a combination of grandeur and charm. A gentle smile rested on her red lips, and people would always, without realizing it, sink into that smile.

Lin You rushed from the old residence to the orchard. At a glance, she saw Fu Xinran circling around the plum tree. Fu Xinran beneath the tree was beautiful, lively, happy, and at ease. That sunlit aura made Lin You especially want to kiss her.

She strode forward. A few siblings who saw her waved at her, but Lin You placed her index finger in front of her lips, signaling for them not to disturb Fu Xinran.

Everyone nodded in understanding, then turned their heads and pretended not to see anything. Hmph, they refused to eat dog food!

Lin You quietly approached Fu Xinran. Fu Xinran loved beautiful things, so the early-spring plum she had chosen was also large, pretty, and full. She circled the plum tree once.

Finally, she saw a very large plum, about half the size of a fist. Fu Xinran let out a surprised “wow,” then stood on tiptoe, wanting to pick it and take it back for Lin You to taste. It would definitely be delicious.

She reached for it several times but was always just a little short. Fu Xinran got angry, her brows furrowing as she stared at that pretty, well-shaped plum.

“Heh… I’ll help you.” Lin You had somehow snuck up behind her, one hand naturally holding the hand in which Fu Xinran carried the little bamboo basket.

Fu Xinran’s heart startled. She turned her head to look at the person playing tricks. Lin You lightly raised her hand and picked the plum Fu Xinran could not reach even on tiptoe.

With a mischievous smile, she handed the fruit to Fu Xinran. Fu Xinran did not care whether her hand was clean or not and reached out to grab Lin You’s ear.

Lin You hurriedly hugged Fu Xinran’s waist, her body naturally bending down so Fu Xinran could pinch to her heart’s content. Only then did she straighten up again.

“Couldn’t tell Seventh Sister is actually henpecked.” Lin Sui, the oldest among Lin You’s cousins, moved aside his sister, who was blocking him, like he was watching a good show. Then he took out his phone and snapped several photos.

The others were stunned by their eldest brother’s operation. They immediately took out their phones and all began taking pictures of Lin You and Fu Xinran.

Lin You still did not know that she had already flooded the family group chat. Those brothers and sisters who had originally wanted to mock her were all harshly mocked by Eldest Aunt, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and the aunts instead.

“Look at Youyou. She’s about to have a wife, child, and warm bed. What about you? All single dogs. Even dogs have someone who wants them, but you’re all still single!” Eldest Aunt, whose every sentence made sense, wiped out the entire group with one round of output.

The eldest brother, who had a blade of grass in his mouth, opened his mouth. He was stunned by [bailiantales.com]his own mother’s fierce barrage.

Silently glancing at the messages flooding the group, he turned off his phone screen and stuffed it into his pocket, then went back to picking plums for the group of old Buddhas at home.

Everyone who had been ruthlessly mocked lowered their noble heads one after another and dejectedly continued picking plums for the old Buddhas at home.

They had a premonition that tonight might be hard to get through. With tacit understanding, everyone raised their heads and glared at Lin You, who was still scattering dog food.

Seeing that everyone’s backs were turned to them, Lin You quickly seized the chance to lower her head and kiss Fu Xinran’s face, holding her tightly in both arms.

Fu Xinran was ambushed by Lin You. Those warm, thin lips landed on her pink cheek. She startled and immediately looked up at the others. Only after discovering no one was paying attention did she relax a little.

“You don’t even mind all the sweat.” Fu Xinran leaned in Lin You’s arms and gave her a coquettish glare.

Lin You proudly shook her head. Her white teeth were so bright they reflected light, making Fu Xinran look at her with disdain.

Lin You buried her head in Fu Xinran’s hair and inhaled deeply. “Let me smell. So fragrant.”

Fu Xinran rolled her eyes [Read on BaiLianTales]at her. Shameless. The two stuck together so clingingly that even the air turned sweet.

The brothers and sisters, who all refused to eat dog food, tacitly carried their little baskets far away from Lin You.

Even Lin Han, who liked admiring beauty, carried her own little basket, pulled the youngest sister along, and walked far away, firmly refusing to let her eyes be scorched.

As long as I don’t look, I won’t know someone is showing off their love.

The moment Fu Xinran picked a plum, Lin You’s fingers would come over the next second and take it from her hand, then place it back into the basket herself.

Fu Xinran’s ear tips were red. She glared at Lin You. “Enough already. Look, Sister and the others all left.” She said this quietly to Lin You, telling her to restrain herself a little.

Lin You swept her gaze around. Her brothers and sisters did seem a little far from them.

Mm. Then wasn’t that simple? Lin You directly held Fu Xinran’s hand and prepared to go find them. After thinking about it, thirty meters was still a bit far. Her body crouched down, and her left arm wrapped around Fu Xinran’s waist.

Under Fu Xinran’s head full of question marks, Lin You directly lifted her with one arm and carried her into the range of her brothers and sisters. Everyone’s eyes widened, completely unaware that such an operation was possible.

Fu Xinran’s face flushed red. Her right hand tightly grabbed Lin You’s ear. In the past, she had never used force on Lin You’s ear, at most only putting on an act.

Now, her hand unconsciously twisted once around Lin You’s ear. Feeling the pain in her ear, Lin You innocently turned to look at the annoyed Fu Xinran, staring at her in confusion as if saying, What did I do wrong?

Lin You’s grievance made Fu Xinran even angrier. She gave a humph, took the basket from Lin You’s hand, and followed the sisters, no longer wanting to pay attention to Lin You.

“Hahaha, serves you right for showing off your love. You overturned, didn’t you? Hahaha.” Lin You’s ninth cousin, Lin Xue, slapped his thigh and mocked Lin You.

The others also smiled with narrowed eyes, their gazes all shining with the light of watching a joke.

“Heh. Still better than you being single to this day.” Lin You leisurely picked a plum and pulled a wave of hatred. Everyone glared angrily at her. Why did this child stab people’s hearts like this?

Lin You swayed her shoulders, humming a little tune. From time to time, she threw Fu Xinran a little flirtatious wink.

Fu Xinran did not respond. She kept lowering her head and talking with the Omegas. Lin Han could not stand Lin You’s smug little appearance.

Lin Han’s eyes shifted, and an idea came to her heart. “Ranran, tonight, us sisters should sleep together.”

“Yes, yes! Sister-in-law, let’s sleep together. Let’s put on face masks together!” Lin Bai, only a little over ten years old and wearing two ponytails, looked at Fu Xinran expectantly. She was Second Uncle’s youngest daughter.

Usually, she was crushed under her studies. Today, Lin You had specially gone to speak with Second Uncle, which was why Lin Bai had a chance to rest for two days.

Second Uncle treasured Lin Bai dearly, afraid she would break in his hands or melt in his mouth. When Lin Bai had been born, she weighed less than three jin. The hospital had issued notice many times, telling them that the chances of the child surviving to adulthood were very small.

Second Uncle and Second Aunt had stayed at the hospital day and night, finally raising her bit by bit.

After Lin Bai differentiated into an Omega, her health was also not very good. She was sickly all year round, yet her coursework was heavy, and she herself was stubborn. Second Uncle and Second Aunt could only indulge her, setting rules about how long she studied before she could rest.

Fu Xinran touched Lin Bai’s face. Lin Bai shyly shrank her neck, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the beautiful Fu Xinran with expectation.

Fu Xinran felt that if she did not agree, she would definitely hurt this child’s heart.

“All right.”

Lin Han’s plan succeeded. She hid her contribution and fame. She knew Lin Bai could accomplish anything once she made a move.

Lin Bai had a cute face. Because she had been sick for a long time, her skin was fair and tender, and her eyes had not yet been stained by worldly affairs, pure and innocent. Yet she also loved to smile. Her tiny figure was very lovable.

Amid Lin You’s bickering with her other brothers and sisters, she had absolutely no idea that her wife had been stolen.

“Don’t you think this fellow Lin You has been smiling a little too brightly recently?” The second brother and third sister from Lin You’s eldest aunt’s family leaned together and whispered, occasionally glancing at Lin You, who was acting like a child.

“When she smiles like this, I feel much more comfortable inside. Usually, when I see her, she’s always icy cold, not like a younger sister at all, more like an elder instead. Maybe this is the charm of falling in love!”

Lin You’s eldest brother rubbed his chin. The more he spoke, the more he felt he was right. The others completely did not want to talk to him. He went off-topic every time.

The Lin family’s third sister rolled her eyes at Eldest Brother. Why bring up the thing no one wanted to mention? Among this group of brothers and sisters, aside from Lin You, who was not single?

The other two also felt it was pointless. Slipping away, slipping away.

The sun grew hotter and hotter. Everyone could not quite bear it anymore and prepared to return. Lin You lowered her head and carefully checked Fu Xinran’s hands.

Aside from being a little blackened with dirt, they were not injured and the skin was not broken. Lin You felt relieved.

The back seats of the electric cart were full of baskets of plums, all brought back to the old residence.

“It’s only three o’clock now. Is anyone interested in playing a round of KL? Seventh Sister, this is your family’s game. Do you have any good stuff to give us?” Lin Ze, who liked gaming, stretched his head between Fu Xinran and Lin You’s seats.

“If I let you play games, will Third Uncle agree? Ask Sister Han whether she’ll allow it.” Lin You pointed her chin toward Lin Han, who was driving.

Lin Ze wilted. He pitifully looked at Lin You, hoping she would help plead his case. His family controlled him too strictly.

It was so hard to finally get a holiday. Couldn’t they let him relax a little?

“You’re allowed to play for two hours. No more than that.” Lin Han agreed without even turning her head.

“Wow, thank you, Sister! Sister, you’re the best.” Lin Ze happily stomped his feet in the car. Lin You threw him a look, signaling him to behave.

Being stared at by Lin You, Lin Ze shrank his neck and immediately quieted down. Alone, he happily waved his arms and legs in the back seat with a smile.

The electric cart following behind them began mocking him one after another. These people were carefree and had no worries. The only expectation all the elders had of them was that they remain safe and healthy.

They should not commit crimes, nor should they stir up trouble. They could play and make noise, but they could not go too far or cross boundaries.

It had to be said, the Lin family’s family style was actually very proper.

Fu Xinran leaned in Lin You’s arms. She felt a little sleepy. Under the warmth of the sunlight, the breeze was not cool. Instead, it carried a warm comfort.

The trees on both sides decreased, and the straight, emerald bamboo forest gradually increased. Leaning in Lin You’s arms, Fu Xinran soon fell asleep.

After the electric cart drove for more than ten minutes, they returned to the old residence. Everyone moved lightly. Lin You carried Fu Xinran back to the old residence. The elders sitting together and chatting thought something had happened and all stood up one after another.

Lin Han waved her hand and said quietly, “She got tired and fell asleep.”

Everyone restrained their concern and happily watched Lin You’s back.

“As expected of our Lin family’s child. She really knows how to cherish someone. You’re all not bad either. Go, wash a few plums and put them on the table so we can taste them.”

It was rare for Eldest Aunt to praise people. Everyone smiled.
