The corner of Lan Luochen's mouth twitched. He really needed to study hard, and there was no need to force himself to work so hard during the New Year. What's more, learning is a matter of accumulation over time. One more day won't make much, and one less day won't make much either.

Lan Wangshu's eyes rolled around and she had a bold idea. Her eyes were filled with "No way".

Lan Luochen had a bad feeling. This look made it seem like he had done something unforgivable.

"Could it be related to a woman?"

The tips of Lan Luochen's ears suddenly turned red. It was not impossible to say so.

Lan Wangshu rushed out from inside and stood in front of him, looking him up and down several times.

"It's really about girls. Which girl has taken a fancy to you, Luo Chen? Sister tells you that although you are good-looking and talented, don't let other girls take notice of you. Our family can afford your education, so don't take shortcuts, otherwise you will make up for it in the future if you avoid taking detours."

The tips of Lan Luochen's ears were no longer red, but his face turned a little dark, then red, and then green. Lan Wangshu was even more confused. How could his face change at night?

"elder sister!"

Lan Luochen raised his voice and looked at her with some displeasure and aggrieved. It was clearly a gift he bought for her, so how did it turn out like this? He was not a gigolo.

Even if Lan Wangshu was not there, he would copy it for himself and save some money for his travel.

"what?"

Lan Wangshu had never seen Lan Luochen get angry with him before, so he was shocked. He also felt that he was a little impatient and started talking about others without understanding the situation clearly. No wonder Lan Luochen didn't like to hear it. She wouldn't like to hear it either.

Sure enough, when people grow up, they will become the people they hate the most.

She pursed her lips helplessly and held Lan Luochen's hand.

"Well, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I know you're not that kind of person, but there are too many temptations out there. I'm afraid you've gone the wrong way. I believe in you."

Lan Luochen felt helpless. He would never be angry with her, but he did feel sad that she thought of him that way.

He knew that Lan Wangshu was worried about him, so he would not hold on to these things. He took out a small cloth bag from his chest, which contained a pair of small silver earrings engraved with Guihua patterns.

Lan Wangshu glanced down, a little surprised.

"Is this for me?"

"Of course, the other sisters all wore jewelry, but your wrists and ears were bare, and even your hair was tied with a branch ribbon."

Lan Luochen glanced at her hair, neck, and wrists with a look of guilt in his eyes. He had seen the sisters of his classmates in the county school who came from poor families, and they all had some decorations to a certain extent, but Lan Wangshu had nothing.

Lan Wangshu was just not very interested in these things. She had to take them off before sleeping, which was extremely troublesome. However, since it was Lan Luochen's intention, she naturally would not ignore him.

She picked up the earrings with her slender fingers and put them on in front of him, looking into his eyes.

"How's it going? Does it look good?"

Lan Luochen's eyes lit up, as if he had found something interesting, and nodded vigorously.

"Sister, wait until I save some more money and buy you a beautiful jade hairpin."

Lan Wangshu shook his head and rejected his kindness.

"No, I need to buy some myself. I'm out doing business every day, and it's easy to be targeted if I carry these. It's all trouble. These earrings are enough. I can save the money to buy some good pens and ink."

Lan Wangshu had also been to Jing Mo's place many times. He had heard a lot from them over the past two days. It turned out that the way literati make friends is actually divided by the level of their pens, ink, paper and inkstones. The more prosperous the place, the more severe the barriers. Lan Wangshu understood too well how important circles are.

Of course, this is not for the sake of face, but because these are all investments that can be exchanged for better connections and higher benefits in the future. As long as Lan Luochen himself is capable enough, then this is a business that is sure to make a profit.

It’s more stable than government bonds. Maybe she can benefit from it.

"Sister is so kind to me. Luo Chen doesn't know how to repay her in the future."

Lan Luochen thought back to his childhood. Ever since he could remember, his sister had disliked him, but she would always be scolded by their father. So when their father was around, Lan Wangshu would hug him, but in fact she was secretly pinching him hard.

His sister is so nice now. He hugged her tentatively, which scared Lan Wangshu. The girl just patted his shoulder gently and kept her arms at a distance from him.

"elder sister?"

"Luo Chen, my sister is grown up, and you are not young anymore. You can't do this anymore. This is against etiquette. You can't do this with girls outside in the future. Be careful that others will rely on you."

The more she spoke, the uglier Lan Luochen's expression became, so she quickly changed direction and made a joke to tease him.

How else to put it? You can't say that because she is starting to grow, you are afraid that it will cause a shock to his flawless brain.

"Sister is right. Luo Chen must pay attention to this in the future."

Lan Luochen also realized this problem. In the past six months, his sister seemed to have grown up all of a sudden. She had gotten rid of her childish appearance and even her body had grown a lot taller. Although he was also growing taller, he was still not as tall as Lan Wangshu.
