"Welcome..."

The angelic girl swallowed her words as she enthusiastically greeted the guests who came in.

The tone also became a little cold.

Because Li Lingan discovered that the people who entered the store were not someone else, but Li Muhan and Xia Yue.

"...Sister, you're back. You must have had a hard time on your business trip."

Li Lingan was still very clingy towards Xia Yue. She moved close to Xia Yue, picked up the petite girl directly, and then covered her with a big thunder.

Xia Yue seemed to be used to this gentleness with a resigned expression.

After Li Lingan greeted Xia Yue as usual, Li Muhan also opened his arms, but all he got in return was a businesslike smile from Li Lingan.

"Would you like some noodles, sir?"

"Ah...well, eat noodles." Li Muhan scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

Li Lingan led the two to a private room.

Now this is no longer the shabby ramen restaurant.

In the past two years, I don’t know whether it’s because of the secret efforts of the Special Management Bureau or because Li Lingan’s smile is so healing, but the noodle shop business has been extremely booming. Now it has merged with several surrounding shops and transformed it into a very stylish store.

But they still only sell ramen.

"An An, where is your father?"

Xia Yue asked.

Now Li Lingan has known that Li Chengtian is her father. She was a little surprised at first, but after coordination from many parties, Li Lingan and Li Chengtian recognized each other as father and daughter. It's a pity that Lu Xue's body had been burned clean by Li Chengtian's Greedy Wolf Flame and Tartarus.

The two could only place some relics found from the Special Management Bureau where she once worked in the cemetery.

"Dad and Uncle Cen went fishing. Sister, is Ireland fun?"

Li Lingan sat next to Xia Yue with a smile. Now this restaurant no longer needs Li Chengtian to cook in person, but even if they hire a better chef, his skills cannot compare to Li Chengtian's.

Therefore, regular customers will make reservations a week or even a month in advance just to have a taste of noodles made by Li Chengtian.

"Well, it's just so-so. The food is not as good as China. I'll take you there to play next time."

"Mmmm~ Sister, you are the best!"

"Yes, yes, next time we go together, not only to Ireland, but also to..."

But when Li Muhan was speaking, Li Lingan stood up again and handed the menu to Li Muhan.

"Sir, if you don't want to order, please leave."

"Ah? Ah... I, I'll order. What do you want to eat, Xia Yue?"

"Five large bowls of their signature ramen, super spicy."

Xia Yue said lightly.

"Okay, I will make it extra hot for you."

"Then I will be like her, too..."

"Sorry sir, we are out of noodles. These were the last five bowls."

Li Lingan looked at Li Muhan and gave him a polite smile.

This was a bit awkward, and Li Muhan quickly looked at Xia Yue for help.

"Then I can just share the meal with him. Ling'an, if you're not busy, why don't you eat with your sister?"

If it were usual, Li Lingan would happily agree, but now, she glanced at Li Muchan slightly and bit her lip, seeming to be very embarrassed.

"I came to see you as soon as I got off the plane today. Please stay with me." Xia Yue said with a smile.

"Okay..." Li Lingan nodded.

During the entire meal, Xia Yue did not actually try to regulate the relationship between the two. She only occasionally asked Li Muhan to help with small things like passing seasonings to Li Lingan and getting paper towels.

At first Li Lingan was a little uncomfortable and resistant, but after Xia Yue started chatting with her, she gradually began to accept the little things Li Muhan did for her.

"Thank you, brother~" She said subconsciously when she took the vinegar handed to her by Li Muhan.

Then she and Li Muhan were both stunned.

Li Muhan said excitedly: "An An! You recognized me again!"

An An was a little flustered. She put down her chopsticks and said with a stuttering tone: "I, I, I didn't... I..."

"An'an, I know I was wrong. Uncle Li may have explained it to you, but I have to explain it to you clearly. An'an, can you listen to me?"

"I, I, I don't want to listen..."

"If you don't listen, I'll eat this bowl!"

"..." Li Lingan looked at Li Muhan who was acting unreasonably, and cast a look at Xia Yue for help. Then, she saw Xia Yue holding her chin and playing with her mobile phone, and she seemed to have no intention of interrupting at all.

"Well, you, what do you say..."

Finally Li Lingan gave in.

She also didn't want to have a quarrel with Li Muhan in the store.

"An An...I know what I did was very bad for you, but please believe me, An An, I have never done anything strange to your body."

An An blushed all of a sudden and turned her head away: "You, just get to the point, don't talk about this."

"What I want to say is that I...brother was wrong. No matter what the reason was, I shouldn't use your image to become an idol. Now I just want to know what I can do to make you feel better, An An."

Li Muhan looked at Li Lingan sincerely, while Li Lingan kept biting her lips and didn't say anything.

Finally, she sighed as if she had accepted her fate.

"Brother... I, I was actually very angry that day, and very, very embarrassed, but... I was not really angry because of... not because of this."

"Eh?"

Li Muhan was stunned.

"...Brother, Dad showed me the video of the first time you performed on stage in my image...It's called, Starlight, right?"

"Ah... yes..." Li Muhan scratched his head, recalling what happened at that time.

It could be said that we were forced to do something unexpected at that time. With the help of Lilith's power, we successfully completed the performance, and that was the beginning of everything.

"Actually... I, I think it's very beautiful. Well, I can really feel from brother's performance that he wants to make people laugh, bring happiness and joy, rather than... that kind of vulgar and weird... well."

Li Lingan's voice became smaller and smaller, and it was almost inaudible.

"Dad also showed me a lot of Special Management Bureau members who regained their spirits because of their idol An An, and everyone celebrating An An's birthday... Well, I was wondering why every time I have a birthday, the Special Management Bureau would give me so many gifts..."

"So, brother, I am angry now, not because you and the people in the Special Management Bureau used my image to do these things."

"But...Brother...why do you always treat me like a child? Why can't you tell An An?"

Li Muhan was stunned. She saw a feeling of grievance in the girl's tearful eyes.

Indeed, over the years, Li Muhan has protected Li Lingan even more than her father Li Chengtian.

This kind of protection is all-round, but at the same time it also confuses the increasingly mature Li Lingan.

"I'm sorry, An An, I never thought about these things, nor did I consider your feelings... I... solemnly apologize to you."

Li Muhan stood up and looked at Li Lingan very seriously.

Li Lingan propped her chin with her hand and looked at Li Muhan with a pout: "So, brother, you really need to think about your own problems. You are so gentle to everyone around you, and always help others solve problems regardless of the consequences. Sigh, sometimes I feel anxious for my sister."

"Ah? This..." Li Muhan didn't understand why the topic was brought up with Xia Yue.

Xia Yue was still leaning on the sofa playing with her cell phone without saying a word.

"An An, I have already cancelled my account and issued a notice that Idol An An will stop activities. I will definitely find a way to delete the previous ones, so don't worry, I will handle it..."

"Look, here we go again." An An sighed: "Brother, I don't need you to arrange things for me, all I need is for you to tell me about it, and then... I can make my own decision, okay?"

"...But, but."

Just when Li Muhan was about to speak, Xia Yue threw the phone at his face.

"Look for yourself." Xia Yue said lightly.

Li Muhan took the phone and saw that a video from the Special Management Bureau’s intranet was playing on Xia Yue’s phone screen.

In the video, the somewhat shy Li Lingan is trying hard to speak to the camera.

[Everyone... Good morning, I'm... Li Ling'an. I, I really appreciate your support. I'm very sorry. I said before that I would stop my activities, but, but I, I, I thought about it for a long time. If you like to listen to my singing, I will continue to accompany you by recording songs.]

Li Muhan was stunned. He slowly looked up at Li Lingan.

"An'an..."

"I can't be as good as my brother, singing and dancing, but if it's just singing, I... can do it."

Li Lingan gave Li Muhan a smile.

"So brother, are you willing to help me?"

Li Muhan clenched the phone tightly, then nodded vigorously. He raised his hand and gently touched Li Lingan's hair.

"An An...you have grown up."

On the way home, Li Muhan held Xia Yue's hand and asked with a smile, "Did you know that An An had let it go, so you brought me here?"

"The news that An An has made a comeback and transformed into a singer-songwriter has gone viral on the intranet. Only an idiot like you can't see it."

"I've been very busy lately." Li Muhan smiled awkwardly.

Then Li Muhan walked up to Xia Yue and blocked her way.

"What?" Xia Yue looked at Li Muhan puzzledly.

"When did my little Moon become so smart? It was the same when I was having dinner with An An just now. You have subtly eased the relationship between us. Tsk tsk tsk, that's unlike you."

"...Humph, I just gave you more opportunities to perform before."

"Okay, my dear wife." Li Muhan directly picked up Xia Yue.

"It's been a week. Let me see how much you've grown tonight."

Xia Yue huddled in Li Muhan's arms, and then revealed a wicked smile: "In short, the place you expected is not long."

"Pfft, who expected that? You're fine just the way you are. I like it."

...

...

That night.

In Li Muhan's home, the girl and the boy had fallen asleep, but the girl opened her eyes in a startle.

She sat up, her two pupils emitting different lights.

"......." The girl slowly raised her hand and looked at her tender palm: "It feels... strange. Did that woman just... appear in the room?"

The girl looked around. There was no one in the room except her brother who she almost kicked off the bed.

"... Ugh, that's scary. Go sleep with mom tonight."

After saying that, the girl got out of bed and ran towards her parents' room.

"Mom, I want to sleep with you, Lao Li, you go sleep with the little retard!"
