Chapter 28

  Lin Ruhai saw Lin Ruolan with her small mouth agape, a look of surprise on her face, and a faint smile appeared on her beautiful face; she gently stroked Lin Ruolan's head and asked softly.

  "Sister, did you see Mother and Brother's behavior a bit inexplicable?"

  Lin Ruhai is a person, after all, he is the one who was personally appointed by the Emperor as the top scholar of this year's imperial examination; Lin Ruolan's little thoughts are all written on her face, how could Lin Ruhai not understand what this little girl is thinking?

  "Hmm!" Lin Ruolan nodded honestly, thinking that she had heard and seen descriptions of the Red Chamber in her previous life, but couldn't connect them with what she saw before her eyes.

  "Brother, why are you sitting together with someone else?" Lin Ruo Lan asked Lin Ru Hai first, expressing her own doubts in her heart. She looked at Lin Ru Hai with a puzzled face for half a day before saying: "Isn't it said that boys and girls over seven shouldn't sit together? Brother, I'm already ten years old this year."

  Lin Ruo-lan was subtly reminding Lin Ruohai that at her current age, she had long passed the age where men and women should sit separately; Lin Ruo-lan felt that she had already made herself clear enough, and someone as intelligent as Lin Ruohai should be able to understand.

  To be honest, although Lin Ruolan crossed over into the world of Red Chamber, but for Lin Ruolan herself, she really didn't have this awareness.

  After all, although she is only ten years old, the soul living in her bones is a modern one from a thousand years later; as for the saying that boys and girls should sit separately at the age of seven, Lin Ruolan snorted with disdain and didn't think it was reasonable at all.

  Lin Ruo Lan was very suspicious, how could Lin Ru Hai not be an ancient person? And since the Lin family is a noble and aristocratic family for generations, how could they neglect such etiquette.

  It can't be... It can't be that Lin Ruhai is also a transmigrator? Lin Ruolan's eyes shone brightly as she stared at Lin Ruhai, almost pouncing on him and calling him "fellow countryman".

  But Lin Ruhai's next words completely dispelled Lin Ruolan's unrealistic and immature absurd idea.

  "Sister, although there is a saying that men and women should sit separately at the age of seven; however, in our Lin family, we don't follow this rule at home, of course! Sister, if you go to someone else's house with Mother as a guest, you must remember and insist on following this rule about men and women sitting separately at the age of seven, do you understand?"

  Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Ruolan's bewildered expression, and his heart suddenly softened; Hehe... this was his own sister, the precious little sister he had pampered since childhood!

  After listening to Lin Ruhai's explanation, Lin Ruolan finally understood a little; this... isn't this the typical case of not allowing common people to light lamps but only allowing government officials to set fires?

  It's not just Lin Ruhai who was bought by Lin Ruolan's silly and cute appearance, even Mrs. Lin, who was sitting next to him, was also conquered by Lin Ruolan's appearance.

  Mrs. Lin had wanted to stretch out her hand and pull Lin Ruolan into her own embrace several times, but she was worried that Lin Ruolan would feel disgusted with herself; therefore, she had been suppressing the urge to hug Lin Ruolan in her arms all along.

  It's not easy for my daughter to come home, anyway, there is still time, right? They say that mothers and daughters are naturally close, so I should come visit Lan more often every day; chat with her more, and slowly but surely, Lan will become closer to me.

  Actually, Mrs. Lin was a bit too careful, Lin Ruolan's previous life as Liu Guang had already lost her parents at an early age; this life being able to enjoy the love and care of her parents and brother is a huge surprise for Lin Ruolan; she's so happy that she doesn't even have time to get angry.

  It's just that in her past life and this life combined, Lin Ruolan didn't have any experience interacting with others; apart from Lin Ruhai who was enthusiastic about getting close to her on his own initiative, she found it difficult to take the initiative to get close to others, seemingly really a bit too proud.

  It can only be said that this is a misunderstanding, a beautiful misunderstanding!

  The meaning of Lin Ruhai's words is simple, the Lin family was originally difficult to have children; The Lin family had been single-handedly passed down for generations before Lin Ruhai, and it wasn't until Lin Ruhai's generation that an extra Lin Ruolan appeared.

  Lin Ruhai, who rarely had brothers and sisters, would naturally not allow these rules to bind himself; let alone being unable to get close to his beloved younger sister, Lin Ruolan was also much younger than him in terms of school grade. As for the so-called "men and women at seven years old do not sit together" saying, Lin Ruhai scoffed even more.

  Lin Ruo Lan finally understood why Lin Ru Hai was so close to her after listening to his explanation; in the future, it's normal for siblings to play and fight with each other, and there's no such thing as men and women not sitting together after the age of seven.

  Originally, Lin Ruolan just wanted to take this opportunity to explore the rules of the Lin family; although Lin Ruolan had accepted the memories of the original owner, she was too young when the original owner left home. How much can you expect a naive child to understand?

  Young Lin Ruolan naturally didn't know these trivial matters, and the original owner's memories in her Flowing Light Brain didn't have this part; to avoid exposing herself in the future, Lin Ruolan couldn't help but spend some thought on it.

  Lin Yulan is just being overly cautious, this is a typical case of overthinking; the aftereffect of excessive brain supplement.

  How to say that the original host was very young when she left, and even now she is completely different from before; hehe... That's also a normal thing.

  Lin Ruhai looked up and saw Lin Ruolan staring at him with wide eyes, his heart suddenly softened; in front of him, the image of a young Lin Ruolan chasing after him seemed to reappear.

  "Brother...... brother, you're back; did you bring some delicious food for me today?"

  "Brother, brother......" A small figure stumbled and staggered all the way to run: "Give you osmanthus cake, Zhou made a good eat." White tender little fist opened, inside holding two pieces of broken osmanthus cake.

  "Brother, look! Grandma taught me how to make a lotus-leaf pouch."

  …………

  "Brother!"

  Lin Ruo Lan couldn't understand why Lin Ru Hai suddenly spaced out, she looked at Mrs. Lin with a puzzled expression.

  Mrs. Lin saw Lin Ruolan staring at her with a pair of bright eyes, and in an instant, she forgot all her concerns and principles that were not very strong to begin with, and they all flew away to the distant clouds.

  "Good child." Mrs. Lin gently grasped one of Lin Ruolan's hands, stroking it lightly; her beautiful face was filled with a faint smile: "Your brother is just remembering things from when you were little, don't worry about your brother, he often does this; later on, Lan'er, as you spend more time together, you'll get used to it."

  Looking at Lin Ruo Lan, she didn't show any disgust towards his closeness, the smile in Mrs. Lin's eyes was something that couldn't be hidden; as they spoke, her voice became even softer.

  "Lan'er, you left home when you were too young; there are many things you may not know. Although our Lin family is a noble and aristocratic family, the population is very simple and not as complicated as other large families with so many rules. Your father said long ago that we don't need to be so formal with each other since we're all one family; those are just for show in front of others, no need to do that among ourselves."

  Mrs. Lin was originally a woman with delicate thoughts and transparent mind, how could she not see the small worry in Lin Ruolan's eyes?
