Chapter 105: Prelude to the End of the World: Suppress Your Brother as Soon as Possible (5)

Xiao Liheng was really scared.

He lay on the inside, wrapped himself in the quilt, leaving only his face exposed to breathe.

After turning off the lights and closing his eyes, he couldn't help but think back to those impressive horror movie scenes, and then worried that his brain waves would attract ghosts...

Human thoughts are not connected to each other. Lin Ran doesn't know and doesn't intend to care what Xiao Liheng thinks before going to bed.

Being a child with no worries in mind, Lin Ran fell asleep almost immediately after lying down.

After sleeping together for a year, Xiao Liheng already knew what state Lin Ran was in when she fell asleep.

He climbed up with the pillow and moved gently.

He moved to lie down next to Lin Ran's pillow, and the fear in his heart finally dissipated by half.

Apart from being afraid of ghosts, he actually had no worries, so he fell asleep quickly.

The next day, when Lin Ran opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Liheng's head appearing beside her pillow, and his entire leg was draped over her, sleeping very comfortably.

"?" Lin Ran frowned and pushed his legs away.

I am impressed by his sleeping posture of running all over the bed.

I also doubted that if I let him sleep alone, he would really roll out of bed every day.

……

Both children were busy this summer.

In order to prevent the children from being idle at home and hurting their eyes by watching TV and playing with mobile phones, Lin Mengqin went to a nearby institution to enroll them in interest classes.

Xiao Liheng is a boy and he chose a martial arts institution as his first choice.

It can not only strengthen your body, but also learn a skill.

Both adults agreed.

As for Lin Ran, Lin Mengqin originally wanted to enroll her in a dance class or art class to cultivate her temperament.

But Lin Ran shook her head and firmly suggested that she also wanted to sign up for the martial arts class.

For some reason, at this moment, she subconsciously felt a trace of uneasiness.

Since she didn't know the plot of this world, she didn't know what would happen in the future.

But what dangerous things could happen in a modern society ruled by law?

Based on some modern novels she had read, Lin Ran only suspected that she might encounter a school bully, a human trafficker, or a serial killer in the future...

Or maybe you might be kidnapped by hired killer.

But she is just a child from a working-class family, what can be gained by kidnapping her?
There are too many uncertainties in the future, and Lin Ran has no idea what will make her feel uneasy.

The only way she could feel at ease was to enroll in a martial arts class, improve her physical fitness, and have the strength to protect herself.

In Lin Mengqin's view, working and earning money is important, so she didn't spend too much time on her children.

The main thing is that both children are three-good students in school. They can get first place in every exam without parental discipline, so there is no need for their parents to worry about them.

Lin Ran suggested that she should learn martial arts, and Lin Mengqin signed up and paid the fee without saying much.

During the day, Lin Ran and Xiao Liheng studied in an institution, and when they returned home they would discuss and consolidate their knowledge with each other.

……

Two years of peaceful life passed like this.

Since he could work hard and concentrate on his work after remarriage, Xiao Rongjian was promoted and received a raise in the company.

This is a great event for the family. The increase in income means an improvement in living standards.

Although Xiao Rongjian's work is busier than before, and he has more social engagements after get off work and returns home very late, the family atmosphere is still very positive.

Several times, Lin Ran noticed Lin Mengqin taking folic acid at home, and guessed that the family might be welcoming a new member.

For a reconstituted family like theirs, having a child who combines the blood of both husband and wife can indeed help maintain family stability to a certain extent.

Otherwise, a family formed halfway through is often prone to break up due to some conflicts.

Although realistically speaking, even if they have biological children together, they will still end up in divorce if they can't get along.

This year, Xiao Liheng seemed to finally gain the courage and quietly moved back to his own room to sleep.

Finally, she had the whole bed to herself. Lin Ran slept comfortably every night. She didn't have to pay attention to her clothes in the room and could wear whatever cool clothes she wanted.

"elder sister!"

There was the sound of a doorknob turning outside the door.

When they found the door was locked, the person outside started knocking on it.

"Sister, open the door, I want to show you something!"

Xiao Liheng's voice was cheerful, as if he wanted to share some joy with her.

Lin Ran put down the pen she was using to do her homework, left the desk and went to open the door.

Lin Mengqin happened to walk by and glared at Lin Ran with a look of complete disapproval:

"Why do you lock the door at home? We are all family, why do you have to knock when entering your room? Are you hiding something in there?"

Lin Ran couldn't understand why parents didn't allow their children to lock their room doors, and she argued with Lin Mengqin. However, Lin Mengqin firmly believed that children didn't need privacy, and that parents should be able to enter their children's rooms at any time without having to knock on the door.

Lin Ran was too lazy to talk to her at the moment. She responded perfunctorily, then pulled Xiao Liheng into her room and locked the door as usual.

Putting her own mother's unreasonable request behind her, Lin Ran looked at Xiao Liheng with his hands hidden behind his back and asked curiously, "What do you want to show me?"

Xiao Liheng has been growing well, but he is still half a head shorter than Lin Ran.

Seeing that Lin Ran's mood was not affected, Xiao Liheng smiled again and said cheerfully: "Let's turn off the lights first!"

Just standing by the door, Lin Ran raised her hand and turned off the light.

But the eye protection lamp on the desk was still on. Xiao Liheng walked over and turned it off himself, and the room was plunged into darkness.

Only then did Xiao Liheng show what was behind him.

"Look, sister!"

In the darkness, Lin Ran only saw two flashing golden dots in front of her eyes. They seemed to be able to fly, but they could not fly out of a fixed range.

"Is it a firefly?" Lin Ran reached out to touch it, but only touched the glass jar. "Xiao Liheng, where did you catch it?"

"It's in the woods downstairs!" Xiao Liheng directly handed the jar to Lin Ran and asked her to hold it and look at it. "I found it when Jiang Yu and I were skateboarding. I wanted to catch it and show it to you. We saw real fireflies!"

Lin Ran knew Jiang Yu, who was Xiao Liheng's classmate and also a top student who loved sports. In addition, they lived in the same community, and she and Xiao Liheng shared similar interests and became close friends.

There were also a few boys from the same community who played together.

"Sister, do you like fireflies?"

There was a hint of temptation in Xiao Liheng's voice.

Lin Ran felt that he wanted to please her and make her happy, but she still expressed her true thoughts: "I like them, but I want to set them free. Only a free life is the most vibrant, beautiful and splendid."

"Oh..." Xiao Liheng was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Sister, I will take them back and release them now."

Lin Ran turned on the light, stared at the two fireflies in the jar that were flapping their little wings looking for an exit, and smiled.

"Okay, let's go and play it together!"

Hearing that Lin Ran would go with them, Xiao Liheng became happy again.

It turns out that his sister didn’t blame him for catching fireflies!
