"Lin Lang, you'd better think this through. If we're not careful and the other four major families find out, you and I will both end up on the streets." As she spoke, Tu Mi pointed at Lin Lang and herself.

In the pouring rain, under a small umbrella, Tu Mi looked down at Lin Lang, while Lin Lang looked up at Tu Mi. The sounds of rain and wind filled their ears, but the two only had eyes for each other.

Lin Lang's eyelashes trembled, as if they were being fiercely battered by the rain.

"Ok?"

Lin Lang stared at Tu Mi without moving an inch, having his own thoughts. The Tu family wouldn't be so reckless. Rather than helplessly being forced to let others seize their land, it would be better to take a gamble, and there might even be a chance for them to rise in status.

Lin Lang said in a hoarse voice, "I've thought it through, Young Master Tu, I'm willing to follow you."

Tu Mi approached Lin Lang and gently helped him up from the ground.

Lin Lang tried to stand up with the help of Tu Mi, but found that his legs were stiff and numb from kneeling for so long.

Tu Mizhiran also noticed Lin Lang's physical condition and handed the umbrella in her hand to Lin Lang, saying, "Take this."

Lin Lang obediently did as instructed.

Then Tu Mi picked Lin Lang up from the ground and asked, "Can you still walk?"

Lin Lang stared wide-eyed at Tu Mi. How... how did Tu Mi pick him up like that?!

Seeing that Lin Lang didn't answer for a long time, Tu Mi bounced Lin Lang in her arms and asked again, "Can you walk?"

Lin Lang regained his composure, stretched out his leg to sense it, and his face turned pale. "No."

Tu Mi took off her coat and covered Lin Lang with it, then carried Lin Lang toward the school gate.

Tu Mi has always been very patient with her own people.

Lin Lang blushed crimson in Tu Mi's arms. What kind of grown man gets held in another man's arms like that?!

So embarrassing.

Tu Mi's gaze, which had been fixed on the front, shifted to Lin Lang's face. After thinking for a moment, she explained, "I originally wanted to carry you on my back, but look, the rain is very heavy."

He added, "Don't be embarrassed, only the two of us know about this."

Uncle Li saw his young master carrying someone over from afar, and quickly got out of the car, wanting to help Tu Mi.

"No need, Uncle Li, I can manage."

Tu Mi single-handedly shoved Lin Lang into the car.

Then he handed a towel and a blanket to Lin Lang.

"Thank you."

"Small things."

Tu Mi then said to Uncle Li, "Uncle Li, let's go to the Lin family."

Tu Mi looked down at her phone for a while, then looked at Lin Lang again and found that his hair was still dripping wet. She could only take a half-dry towel from the side and place it on Lin Lang's head to wipe it.

Lin Lang froze, his body stiff, letting Tu Mi dry his hair. Apart from being this close to his twin brother, he had never been this close to anyone else.

Lin Lang reached out and grasped Tu Mi's wrist. "I can do it myself."

Tu Mi didn't insist and handed the towel in her hand to Lin Lang.

Tu Mi's skin was very white, the kind of pale, sunless white. But when Lin Lang gently grabbed her wrist, several distinct red lines appeared.

Lin Lang lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Tu Mi followed Lin Lang's gaze and said, "This looks scary, but it doesn't hurt at all."

Lin Lang turned his gaze back to Tu Mi's wrist, his eyes flickering.

"Young Master, Young Master Lin, we've arrived."

Seeing that Tu Mi wanted to pick him up again, Lin Lang quickly refused. No, it would be so embarrassing if his parents saw them...

Seeing this, Tu Mi could only help Lin Lang get out of the carriage.

"knock knock"

A maid opened the door for the two of them and exclaimed in surprise when she saw Lin Lang's disheveled appearance, "Young Master!"

Then he called out into the house, "Madam, Sir, the eldest young master is back."

Tu Mi saw a gentle-looking woman wearing slippers hurrying towards them, her face filled with worry, "Xiao Lang—"

Lin Lang, her face pale, forced a smile and said, "It's alright, Mother."

Judging from Lin Lang's expression, he didn't seem to be alright.

Lin's mother beckoned the two of them to come in quickly.

"come on in."

Lin's mother led the two to the living room, asking Tu Mi to sit down first, while Lin Lang was taken upstairs.

Suddenly, a lively young voice came from the second floor: "Brother, brother, you're back."

Tu Mi, holding a teacup, looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man who looked exactly like Lin Lang lying on the second-floor railing.

The man stared blankly at Tu Mi, then, as if finding his voice, murmured, "Tu Mi..."

Tu Mi smiled and greeted the man on the second floor.

Lin Lian, wearing slippers, ran from the second floor to the living room with a "clack-clack-clack" sound.

As Lin Lian got closer to Tu Mi, he slowed his pace, looking at her as if to confirm, "Tu Mi?"

"Ah."

Lin Lian's first impression of Tu Mi came from when Tu Mi came to the Organization Department to pick up her identity brooch; the rest of his impressions came from what the student council members had "heard" about.

It's all about Tu Mi offending the people in the Discipline Inspection Department, and there's also the story of Tu Mi walking into the Discipline Inspection Department with a stick, etc. Anyway, it's all related to the Discipline Inspection Department.

Lin Lian looked at Tu Mi, who was sitting obediently on the sofa not far away, holding a teacup in both hands, and felt that he probably wasn't the one who had followed the rumors.

Lin Lian sat down on the sofa and asked, "You... are friends with my brother?"

Tu Mi nodded, "Very good friends."

Lin Lian looked at Tu Mi in disbelief. How could this be? He was close to his brother, how come he didn't know his brother had such a friend?

Thinking this, Lin Lian naturally asked the question aloud.

Tu Mi's answer was: "Just now, your brother and I hit it off immediately."

Lin Lian: ? ? ?

Everyone knows how sharp-tongued his brother is!

A short while later, Lin's mother and father also came down, with Lin Lang following closely behind.

Tu Mi stood up and greeted them: "Aunt Lin, Uncle Lin."

Lin's father, with his large belly, approached Tu Mi and said with a smile, "You must be Tu Mi. I heard Xiao Lang mention you upstairs. You are truly a handsome and dashing man."

Hearing this, Lin's mother looked at Lin Lang with heartache.

Lin Lang smiled at his mother with a pale face, indicating that everything was alright and there was no need to worry.

Lin Lian shook her head, looking at this and that, feeling that the atmosphere today was really strange.

Tu Mi raised her eyebrows, feigning surprise: "Really? But the two young masters of the Lin family are both handsome and virtuous."

Tu Mi added, "Especially the young master, so innocent and naive, he makes people like him at first glance."

Lin Lian chuckled twice, not knowing why Tu Mi had praised him, but he was still very happy.

Everyone present, except Lin Lian, understood the unspoken meaning behind Tu Mi's words: Lin Lian is too naive and simple-minded.

Lin's mother glared at Lin Lian. "Really, silly child, still smiling. Do you really think someone is praising you?"

Then he said to Tu Mi, "After all, he's our own child. Our family just hopes that Xiao Lian can continue like this. We'd be happy to see that too."
