Xia Ruoan observed his expression carefully. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he picked up the orange in his hand and took a small bite.

However, at this moment, a strong sour smell suddenly hit her, as if it was going to sour her teeth.

At the same time, Lin Cai, who was sitting next to him, had just chewed the food in his mouth, and the unbearable sourness instantly filled his entire mouth.

He quickly spat out the contents of his mouth, frowning tightly, and couldn't help complaining, "Oh, it's so sour!"

Hearing this, Mu Shen, who had been silent all this time, immediately glared at Lin Cai, then quickly stretched out his hand to Xia Ruoan's mouth and said anxiously: "An An, spit it out quickly, don't swallow it."

Meanwhile, Zhong Zishu, who was concentrating on painting, also stopped what he was doing, turned to look at Lin Cai, and said with a hint of reproach: "Lin Cai, you are already a grown-up, why are you still acting like a child?"

Faced with everyone's accusations, Lin Cai helplessly took the water cup beside him and took a big gulp of water, trying to dilute the sour taste left in his mouth.

After catching his breath, he explained with a wry smile, "Brother, please don't blame me. An An is clearly using me as a test subject, asking me to help her taste it first."

At this time, Ouyang Jin, who had been listening quietly, raised his head, looked at Lin Cai, smiled, and said, "That's because An An gave you face, otherwise why didn't she let others try?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Cai rolled his eyes and responded unhappily, "Thank you so much, An An." After saying that, he looked at Ruoan with a half-smile.

Xia Ruoan felt a little embarrassed by what everyone said. She blushed and looked at Lin Cai, apologetically saying, "Third brother, I really didn't mean to let you eat something sour. There are some sour and some sweet oranges in this basket. I just wanted you to help try them out and see which one is sweet and which one is sour."

"These are the oranges from the tree I planted at Grandpa Wen's place!"

Xia Ruoan said excitedly, "The oranges from the tree I planted are sour, while the oranges from the tree Yichen planted are very sweet."

"As a result, when we were picking fruits, Brother Leng actually put all the oranges from the two trees we planted in the same basket!" She said, sticking out her tongue mischievously.

"I say, you two are really amazing. You can't even tell the difference." Zhong Zishu joked with a smile, then took an orange from Xia Ruoan and took a big bite without hesitation.

In an instant, a strong sour smell rushed into his forehead. He frowned tightly and his facial features were almost squeezed together.

"This orange is just as good as the cherries you planted in the yard! Either they are extremely sweet, or like this orange, they are so sour that it makes your teeth fall out." Zhong Zishu complained helplessly while shaking his head.

At this time, Xia Ruoan hurriedly explained: "Brother Leng said that if I want to eat oranges, I can ask him to help me peel them. He will only give me the ones that are sweet if he is sure of them."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Lin Cai shouting towards the kitchen: "Leng Zexi, there is a basket full of oranges waiting for you to taste them slowly!"

Leng Zexi walked out of the kitchen slowly upon hearing the sound. When he saw the oranges in everyone's hands, he could only look at Xia Ruoan helplessly and said, "Let your brothers taste it for you first."

Xia Ruoan nodded, "Let Third Brother try it. He's even more hateful than you. You didn't feel anything when you ate it, but he pretended. It was obviously terribly sour, but he held it in his mouth and tricked me into eating it. He only spit it out after I ate it."

"Isn't it just a taste? It's like you're going to die." Leng Zexi looked at Lin Cai helplessly.

Lin Cai wanted to curse when he heard people pointing at him, but he held back when he saw the look in his elder brother's eyes. He was so jealous.

Sitting down next to Xia Ruoan, "Do you want to eat more? I'll find you something sweet." Leng Zexi looked at Xia Ruoan and asked.

"I want to eat." Xia Ruoan nodded. She really wanted to eat something sweet, not to torture anyone.

"Brother, I just want to eat sweet food now. I don't really want to eat sour or spicy food. Is my taste a little strange because I'm pregnant?" Xia Ruoan looked at his brother and asked.

Lin Cai also laughed when he heard it, "Ruoan, your eldest brother is a surgeon, not an obstetrician."

Xia Ruoan thought it made sense, so she nodded and said, "Well, I'll consult the doctor next time I go for a physical."

"There haven't been any abnormalities so far. The main reason I had morning sickness before was because I didn't get enough rest. But now it's much better, and there are basically no major problems."

At this time, Zhong Zishu couldn't help rolling his eyes, looked at Lin Cai, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Brother is an all-round talent! Based on his ability, his knowledge of obstetrics and gynecology is probably no less than those obstetric experts!" After saying that, he curled his lips.

Mu Shen stretched out his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. He looked at Lin Cai with suspicion and warned him seriously, "You have to work hard at Xia's. If you make money, it belongs to An An. If you lose money, you have to use your original capital to fill the gap for us, An An!"

When Lin Cai heard this, he felt deeply insulted. He shouted in dissatisfaction, "Brother, you're being so disrespectful! When have I ever suffered a loss in making money?"

However, Mu Shen didn't buy his tricks at all and refuted him mercilessly, "Really? Have you forgotten the time when you were so bad that An An even had to use the money she had to buy candy to pay off your debts?"

As soon as these words were uttered, Lin Cai was choked speechless and unable to refute for a while.

"Big brother, third brother, making money has its ups and downs. Don't think too much. Third brother, don't feel pressured." Xia Ruoan looked at him and said, "I don't lack money. I can make money."

"Yes, big brother, third brother, I'm here for you no matter what. I won't let An An be short of money." Leng Zexi peeled the orange, ate a slice and put it aside, then took another one and broke it, and gave the sweet one to Xia Ruoan.

Xia Ruoan shared some with his brothers.

Lin Cai picked up the orange that Leng Zexi had placed on the other side in disbelief, carefully took a slice, and ate it with a frown.

After swallowing it with difficulty, Lin Cai looked at Ze Xi in disbelief, "How did you manage to eat that sour food without changing your expression?"

Lin Cai really admired him.

"It's okay, just a little sore. Back then, my grandfather threw me into the jungle to train, and there were more sore spots than this." Leng Zexi thought about his life in those three months, and felt sad.
