The aloof school beauty has been reborn and is now pursuing me relentlessly.

Chapter 371 The Brother and Sister-in-Law, Torn by Conscience

The next day, Sunday.

Lin Ran got up early and, after a flurry of activity in the kitchen, quickly prepared a steaming hot breakfast and served it on the table.

Everything has become second nature.

As he set the table, his gaze swept across the tabletop, and he paused subconsciously.

I did recall some scenes from my past life.

In his previous life, he lived on campus during his university years. It wasn't until he graduated and started working that he rented a place outside and cooked for himself at home every day to save money.

My culinary skills were honed step by step from that time onwards.

But back then, I was always alone in my tiny apartment of less than 20 square meters, sitting alone at the small dining table and eating by myself.

No matter how delicious the food is.

The mealtime ultimately felt lonely and desolate.

But it's not like it is now.

Looking at the two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, and the steaming food, Lin Ran smiled slightly.

Even if I am reborn into this world, I will not achieve those earth-shattering and extraordinary accomplishments.

It just means there's one more person to keep you company at the dinner table.

That alone makes the trip worthwhile.

Someone's gaze inadvertently swept across the side of the dining table, and then they paused for a moment—

Oh, a set of bowls and chopsticks was left behind.

I forgot there was a single guy acting as a third wheel today.

He turned around and went to the kitchen again. When he came out with the third set of bowls and chopsticks, he heard footsteps coming from the stairs.

An Lan rubbed her sleepy eyes and groggily walked down the stairs, holding onto the railing.

Lin Ran looked up and glanced at it:

"get up?"

An Lan responded and rubbed the back of her head as she went downstairs.

"Ah."

"Oh, my head is starting to hurt again..."

Lin Ran placed the third set of bowls and chopsticks on the table. Upon hearing this, her movements froze for a moment, but she calmly replied without changing her expression:

"You must have drunk too much again yesterday."

An Baozi, who had just come down from the building, looked completely bewildered.

"is it?"

"Hey, that's weird, I never get a headache when I drink..."

"I've been here twice, and both times I've had a headache..."

Someone remained completely calm and composed:

"It's just a coincidence."

“Your sister-in-law and I brought you back together last night. We couldn’t have accidentally bumped into you somewhere, could we…”

An Lan thought about it and readily agreed, nodding in agreement:

"Right."

"Unless you two are so lovey-dovey and forget about me, and accidentally bump me into a tree, hahaha—"

As he spoke, An Baozi was amused by his own casual joke.

The person remained calm while wiping away sweat:

"How can it be--"

"If that were really the case, wouldn't your sister-in-law and I be incredibly heartless, hahaha—"

……

During conversation.

An Lan had already scurried to the dining table, sniffed, and brought it closer to smell the aroma of the food. Her eyes lit up:

"It smells so good!"

He sat down, ready to pick up his chopsticks and start eating, but suddenly stopped, looking up at Lin Ran with a wary expression:

Who made this breakfast?

"Do you have any of your sister-in-law's works...?"

Lin Ran smiled:

"Eat up, I made it all."

"She hasn't come down yet."

One sentence finally made An Lan breathe a sigh of relief:

"That's good……"

Relieved, I picked up my bowl and chopsticks and started eating, enjoying the meal immensely, though my mouth was still a bit slurred as I offered my comments:

"Ugh, howling idiot!"

Lin Ran scolded him in annoyance:

"Eat slowly... Hey, that fried egg is mine, don't eat it all—"

As they were talking, An Lan subconsciously reached up and covered the back of her head, taking a deep breath:

"Ouch, it hurts a little again."

Lin Ran: "...Eat more, if you're still hungry I'll get you two more."

My conscience was suddenly struck by a pang of guilt.

The person turned around and quickly went into the kitchen.

I fried two more eggs and came out of the kitchen with a plate. Just then, Su Qingyan finished washing up and came downstairs.

The girl walked over with her hands behind her back, her steps light and graceful.

"Are you all up?"

Lin Ran casually placed the fried eggs on the table, turned to his girlfriend, and greeted her with a smile:

"Okay, let's sit down and eat."

Su Qingyan glanced at the sumptuous breakfast on the table and nodded with a smile:

"it is good."

He then stepped forward and tiptoed to kiss someone on the lips:

"Thank you for your hard work~"

An Lan, unable to bear it any longer, protested: "Hey, hey, hey, can you please not add dog food to the extra meal?"

The young couple smiled at each other and sat down at the table.

Su Qingyan glanced around and then noticed a pile of fried eggs on the plate on the table, which surprised her:

Why did you fry so much?

Anlan responded casually while eating:

"Right, sister-in-law? I was wondering too. Lin, that pighead, seems to have changed his ways today. I told him I wanted more fried eggs, and he actually made some for me—"

Watching her best friend and sister-in-law happily devour fried eggs one after another, Su Qingyan frowned slightly and offered a word of advice:

"Don't eat too many fried eggs in the morning, it's bad for your health..."

An Baozi didn't care at all:

"It's nothing, I just have a headache, I'll eat some eggs to help me recover."

"By the way, sister-in-law, I was just joking with Lin Zhutou, saying, 'Did you two accidentally bump my head on a tree while you were being affectionate last night? Lin Zhutou might do that, but you definitely wouldn't go that far, right, sister-in-law? Hahaha—'"

Su Qingyan: "..."

The young woman took a deep breath and calmly placed another poached egg on her sister-in-law's plate.

"Eat more."

"If that's not enough, I'll have your brother make you some more..."

—My sister-in-law, who also suffered from pangs of conscience.

……

The older brother, his sister-in-law, and younger sister ate breakfast in a harmonious atmosphere.

After finishing her meal, Anlan wiped her mouth with a tissue and casually mentioned that she would be going back to school soon.

Su Qingyan was thinking of persuading her best friend and sister-in-law to stay a little longer and not leave in such a hurry:

"I'll cook lunch for you—"

An Lan: "..."

Suddenly, there was another reason why I had to leave.

But she immediately explained to Lin Ran and Su Qingyan.

The main reason is that she is now in the second semester of her junior year and needs to start preparing for a job internship, so she has to go back to school and has a lot of things to do.

—I skipped two grades to get into university.

—An's reputation as a top student is not just for show.

An Lan also seemed a little melancholy as she spoke:

"Sigh, university life is almost over in the blink of an eye..."

"It would have been so much better if you two had come to Donghai sooner. Now I'm almost a working adult, with a 9-to-5 job, so I won't be able to hang out with you guys all the time."

Lin Ran listened with a knowing look on his face.

indeed.

Although he always says "a foolish thing".

But his younger sister is not only stunningly beautiful, but also exceptionally outstanding in academic performance and work ability.

In her previous life, she was also a semi-powerful businesswoman.

At this moment, Su Qingyan got up and went to the kitchen to serve porridge.

At the dinner table, Lin Ran looked at An Lan and, remembering that An Lan had majored in financial management in college, casually remarked:

"Why don't you come and work for me later?"

An Lan paused, looked up, and her face was full of question marks:

"Working for you?"

Lin Ran straightened his collar, looking nonchalant.

"Your brother has started his own company."
