Villainess Wants To Turn Over A New Leaf-Chapter 490

Lin Feilu listened intently, but she didn’t hear anything. However, he had said so, and he was always right, so she quickly got up from his arms, jumped out of bed, and got dressed. Sure enough, as soon as she finished getting dressed, she heard the sound of footsteps coming from afar and inching nearer. Followed by a strong knock on the door, Lin Zhanyuan’s breathless voice sounded, “Sister! Younger sister!”

Lin Feilu ran over to open the door, and Lin Zhanyuan held a box in his arms and handed it over happily, “A gift for my sister!”

Lin Ting’s helpless voice also sounded from not far away, “Little Six, I said that you can give it to your sister when it is Chinese New Year.”

Lin Zhanyuan turned his head and retorted, “I can’t wait! I’m going to give it to my sister now!”

In the room, Song Jinglan approached slowly and asked with a smile, “Sixth Brother, where is my gift?”

Lin Zhanyuan turned around and looked at him nervously. He twisted his fingers around the cuffs of his sleeves and said guiltily, “I…I didn’t buy any for my Seventh Brother…I don’t have enough money…”

Song Jinglan sighed sadly.

Lin Zhanyuan immediately said, “I’ll go and buy it for Seventh Brother right now!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and ran away.

Lin Feilu laughed so hard as she turned around and hit him.

Lin Zhanyuan came back during dinner, holding a bag in his hand as he went straight to Song Jinglan. As if he was handing over a precious item, he said, “Seventh Brother, your gift!”

Song Jinglan raised his eyebrows and took it with a smile, “What is this?”

Lin Zhanyuan proudly put his hands on his hips, “It’s my favourite!”

Song Jinglan opened the bag and saw that it was filled with a bunch of colourful marbles. Lin Zhanyuan stepped over and whispered, “You are the one who has the most marbles here! I only have 30, uh, 32!”

He pointed at the bag and said with great envy in a small voice, “There are 50 marbles in there!”

Song Jinglan put the heavy bag away and put it into his sleeve. When he turned his head, he saw Lin Zhanyuan still looking at him eagerly. He couldn’t help but smile and ask, “What’s wrong?”

When Lin Zhanyuan blinked his eyes, his expression was very much like Lin Feilu, “Aren’t you going to play?”

Song Jinglan acted thoughtfully and took out the bag again, “Let’s play then.”

Lin Zhanyuan nodded happily, “Okay!”

When Lin Ting and Lin Feilu came over, they saw the Emperor of the Song Empire squatting on the ground and playing marbles with the little fool(1).

(T/N: This might sound insulting, but the term here is used in an endearing way. Kind of like how you would jokingly call a friend or a sibling by nicknames, but you meant well

E/N: For more context, If you’re immersed in the culture (or brought up in it, it is endearing. There’s not an equivalent term for it in the English world, unfortunately. The closest would be something like “Lil’ XXXXX”, like “little baby, or little daisy, but it just doesn’t sound right.)

The little fool even provoked the Emperor, “Seventh Brother, I will win all your marbles!”

Song Jinglan sighed, “Sixth Brother, please let me off easy this once.”

Lin Zhanyuan hesitated and said, “Okay, then I’ll give in and let my little brother go,” He looked at the marbles in his hand with a look of reluctance and encouraged himself, “My little sister said that humility is a type of virtue!”

Lin Feilu smiled at the duo, “Let’s play again tomorrow, alright? We should get ready for dinner.”

Lin Zhanyuan looked at his Seventh Brother and his sister before he asked in a serious tone, “Seventh Brother, can I play with you again tomorrow?”

Song Jinglan stood up with a smile, “Sure.”
