Chapter 446: Chapter 444: Holding a Shadow_1
“Mother, your health isn’t good. Don’t come out and get caught in the wind. Go back and rest.”
The young man’s heart trembled, and he quickly ran to his mother’s side to support her.
“Walking a few steps is fine.”
The woman’s eyes were gentle, and she patted her son’s hand reassuringly while looking back at the courtyard.
There, a pair of lovely siblings were curiously looking at her.
“Oh, aren’t they our benefactors?”
The woman’s face changed suddenly, and she scolded her son while tapping him lightly, “You child, why did you leave our benefactors outside without inviting them in?”
Qingluo: “…”
Young man: “…”
This wasn’t how the story was supposed to go!
The two of them broke into a cold sweat.

“Good children, come in quickly.”
The woman didn’t have time to dwell on it, and quickly walked to the courtyard gate, calling out to her daughter, “Liu’er, serve some tea for our benefactors.”
“Alright, I’m coming.”
The young girl replied from the kitchen, poking her head out with a smile before looking at the siblings standing at the courtyard entrance, her eyes lit up.
“Xuan’er, let’s go in.”
Unable to bear going against the woman’s intention, Lin Qingluo smiled kindly and led the Little Prince into the small courtyard.
The Little Prince obediently followed his sister, his large eyes curiously glancing around, and as he met the young girl’s smiling gaze, he quietly hid behind his sister.
“The house is dark. Let’s sit in the courtyard.”
The woman’s eyes were full of happiness as she invited the siblings to sit down by the stone table.
“Oh my, what a cute little fellow. Soft and adorable, just like Yi’er when he was little.”
The young girl quickly made tea, brought it out on a tray, and placed it on the table. She then squatted down in front of the Little Prince, eagerly reaching out to pinch his chubby cheeks.
“Sister.”
Looking at the girl’s overly bright eyes, the Little Prince clung to his sister’s arm, trembling, and buried himself in her embrace.
“Little brother, how old are you? Your sister has candy. Do you want some?”
Despite not being able to pinch his cheek, the girl reluctantly smiled and took out a piece of milk candy from her pocket, trying to entice the adorable child.
The Little Prince pouted. He had candies too, and he wasn’t interested.
His proud expression made the girl’s heart melt even more.
She wanted to tease him even more.
“Hahaha, so little brother doesn’t like candy? It’s okay, your sister has other tasty things.”
“Sister, can you stay more composed? You’re like this even when we have visitors. You don’t know when to restrain yourself!”
The young man frowned and forcefully pulled his sister by her arm, making her stand up.
The girl became annoyed: “Hey, what are you doing? This little brother is so cute. What’s the harm in teasing him a bit?”
“He’s a guest.”
The young man scolded, “Do you think everyone is like your little brother, always letting you do as you please?”
“Hahaha! Good little brother, you finally spoke your mind. Your sister is so happy!”
The girl found it amusing, and gave her brother a big hug.”
“Mother, look at sister, she’s doing it again.”
With a darkened expression, the young man quickly freed himself from his sister’s embrace and retreated several steps, all the way to a spot three meters away from her.
These amusing siblings were interesting!
Lin Qingluo’s eyes sparkled as she noticed the young man’s habitual movements, which seemed strangely familiar.
She understood in an instant.
This was the reason why he was averse to girls!
He must already have a psychological shadow from being constantly hugged by his sister.
“Mr. Lin, uh, no, Miss Lin, I hope you don’t mind our silliness.”
The woman smiled as she watched the siblings fool around, her expression gentle. She then turned to Lin Qingluo with a hint of apologetic concern.
