He couldn’t shift just one seat over. Otherwise, Grandpa Qi would assume he was deliberately mocking his biological granddaughter.
Since Big Brother had shifted over, No. 3 and No. 4 naturally also moved over.
The middle bench then just became decoration.
Lu An was really confused. She looked at them in bewilderment, and asked Ling Chuan, who had actually run over to her side, “What’s going on?”
There was an awkward silence.
Ling Chuan was a little lost for words. He leaned closer and said in a low voice, “Can’t you tell?”
Lu An glanced from Qi Yan to her brothers, and immediately understood.
It was over. Would she be treated like a criminal?
Lu An hurriedly turned around and meekly picked up a piece of meat for each of her brothers, including little Fifth Brother.
The brothers didn’t say anything and obediently ate the meat that Little Sister put in their bowls.
A certain little sister chuckled. She thought that she had escaped a disaster, but she quietly moved a little to the side to draw a line between herself and Qi Yan.
On the side, Qi Yan felt disgusted. Fake! Hypocrite!
Who wanted her to sit next to her? Did she think she was very kind?
…
The entire dinner was harmonious and peaceful.
The brothers went back to their normal behavior, and even treated their little sister better than before.
Lu An felt that she must have performed well. She chuckled and picked up more food for her brothers.
A certain person next to little Fifth Brother and Ergou even started acting spoiled.
He reached out from behind to sneakily tug Lu An’s hand.
What are you doing? Do you think I’m dead?
A certain little Fifth Brother immediately glared and even thrust little Ergou forward, as if to say that if Ling Chuan dared to mess around, he would let the dog bite him.
Poor little Ergou was so frightened that it trembled. Someone even pushed it forward to act as a gun.
“What are you doing?”
Lu An looked over in bewilderment. A certain little Fifth Brother immediately sat up straight, as if they weren’t doing anything.
The hand that was blocked from behind was already stretched so far out.
Ling Chuan thought it was hilarious. He didn’t want a certain little Fifth Brother to be anxious and cry, and even be scolded by his brothers later. In the end, Ling Chuan gave up on acting like a demon for the time being.
After dinner, the brothers rushed to wash the dishes.
Lu An relaxed, and went to make tea for Grandpa.
Grandpa Qi Xiuyuan and Ling Chuan sat in the courtyard.
It was already autumn, but the sky was clear. The stars shone brightly and the moon was high up in the night sky.
Grandpa Qi recalled how he had raised An’an on his own in the past.
Ling Chuan had also helped him back then. There were a lot of things about girls that Grandpa hadn’t known about. If it hadn’t been for Ling Chuan…
“Oh, right, do you remember what happened with An’an when she was young?”
Grandpa Qi asked the question.
“Of course.”
Ling Chuan was very confident and smug. No one recalled as much about their little girl as he did.
“Right?”
Grandpa Qi couldn’t help but perk up. Under the night sky in the courtyard, he couldn’t stop talking.
On the side, Ling Chuan listened patiently. From time to time, he would interrupt with his opinion.
When Lu An came over with the tea, she couldn’t help but slow down when she heard them talking.
Especially when the two of them talked about her first period…
Seriously! Were they bored enough to actually bring up what happened back then?!
Lu An’s face was already about to turn red, and she hid on the side. She felt so embarrassed when she listened to them, however, that she simply turned around and ran, pretending that she hadn’t been there.
She turned around and ran head-on into Qi Yan.
