With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Lin Fan was once again surprised to see how direct Lin Li Zi was being, but this time…he actually didn\'t have an answer for them.

In truth, even he didn\'t really know what he wanted from them.

No, he did know, but…it was a very hard thing to bring up and it was a very hard thing to achieve in this dog eat dog world.

Lin Li Zi could see the look on his face and she just revealed a smile as she said, "A family, right?"

Lin Fan was surprised to hear this, but seeing the look on her face, he slowly gave a nod.

This scene really was the opposite of how it was before.

This time, Lin Li Zi was the one in charge while Lin Fan was the one that just went along.

After seeing him give a nod in response, Lin Li Zi became even more bold as she said, "Then why are you acting like this? Just tell them what you want and that\'ll be that."

Lin Fan shook his head when he heard this before saying, "How? You should know what kind of world this is. There\'s no way that they will be a family as long as the Lin Family\'s resources are there."

Lin Li Zi opened her mouth to say something, but she soon closed it since she realized that he was right.

She didn\'t have to worry about things like this in the past since it had never been there, but now that it was there, it was impossible to ignore. For someone who had grown up without any of these resources, she didn\'t realize how troublesome having it was.

So she realized that there was without a doubt a change in the dynamic of their family now.

As the one that controlled the Lin Family, there was no doubt others that would want to take her position.

As such, it would be hard for her to trust even the ones that she had been close to before since they would be after her position.

Though…that meant that she could trust those that were above her since there was nothing that they wanted from her.

Such as Lin Fan in front of her.

He was the one that had given her everything in the first place and could take it away whenever he wanted, so there was no need to think about trusting or distrusting him.

After a long silence, Lin Li Zi said, "Then how about this?"

She gave another pause during which Lin Fan turned to look at her with a confused look.

Lin Li Zi took a deep breath before saying, "How about you treat me as family? After all, we are cousins, right?"

Lin Fan was once again surprised to hear this.

But when he thought about it…it seemed like she really was the best choice out of the entire Lin Family. After all, he had full control over her, so he knew exactly what she did.

It could even be said that she was the only one that he could trust was approaching him because she wanted to.

As for why he wanted a family…

Well, it was because of his past life.

Earth wasn\'t a dog eat dog world like this…well, it was to a certain extent, but it was less extreme than this.

He who was raised on Earth still had the concept of family, especially in the country that he lived in where family was important. So he still wanted to have a family even though it was a world like this.

Lin Fan had thought that his only chance was with the new family that he had created for himself, but there were still the relatives of the original owner of this body. He had wanted to see if he could create a family with the less guilty members of that family, which was a small part of the reason he had created this new Lin Family.

Only it didn\'t seem to work since they were the same as the rest of the people in this world…

Now that Lin Li Zi was offering this to him, Lin Fan couldn\'t help being moved.

Both of them wanted this, yet both of them were hesitating.

In the end, Lin Fan just said with a calm nod, "Alright."

It was said in a soft voice, but at least they were taking a step forward.

Lin Li Zi revealed a happy look before lowering her head and saying in a soft voice, "Then can I call you by your name?"

Lin Fan was surprised by the way that she said this.

There was one thing that he had wanted in his past life.

He had wanted a little sister, but he had been an only child.

Now that she was like this, he couldn\'t help feeling that feeling of wanting to take her as his little sister.

Not to mention, they were blood related in the first place.

After a cough to calm himself down, Lin Fan said, "You can call me brother if you want. We are around the same age and we are related by blood after all."

This time, it was Lin Li Zi who was surprised since she never expected him to make this proposal. However, it didn\'t seem like she was that happy about it when she heard this.

Her eyes dimmed a bit and she lowered her head as she muttered, "Just as a little sister, huh?"

Lin Fan couldn\'t hear what she said, but he felt that there was something strange about the way that she was acting, so he asked, "Is something wrong?"

Lin Li Zi snapped back from her thoughts as she said while shaking her head, "No, no, there\'s nothing wrong."

Lin Fan couldn\'t help raising a brow in doubt when he heard this, but he didn\'t say anything else.

But in the end, there was a certain awkwardness that filled the air because of this.

After a long silence, Lin Li Zi took a deep breath to adjust herself before turning to Lin Fan to say, "Big Brother…Fan."

During the middle of this, she had been struggling on what to call him. In the end, she decided to call him by name since there were other people with the surname Lin. In fact, there were a bunch of them waiting for the two of them outside.

Lin Fan gave a nod with a faint smile on his face before reaching out to pat Lin Li Zi on the head.

He had done it before his mind could react, so when he did finally react, it became an awkward pat on the head.

Still, it didn\'t seem like either of the minded as Lin Fan said, "Good Little Sister Li Zi."

At that moment, there was this warm feeling that filled the hearts of the two of them.

This was a kind of feeling that they had been looking for, a feeling of having someone understand them and could support them.

That was the feeling of having family.

But there was an awkwardness that hung in the air since this was not the kind of family that one normally had. This was the kind of family that one obtained later in life after different circumstances, so they still had to adapt to each other.

It would take some time, but they both did want to get closer to the other side.

Though in Lin Li Zi\'s case, there were some other feelings mixed in…

Feelings that she shouldn\'t have for someone related to her in blood.

After an awkward bit, the two of them headed out again.

As they were heading out, Lin Li Zi said, "Big Brother Fan, for the others…what do you think I should do?"

As for the others that she was referring to, it was naturally the other members of the Lin Family.

She was at a loss as to how to be the head of a family after all since she had never been one before. At the same time, she didn\'t know how to treat them since there was just too little interaction between them.

Even though they were all illegitimate children of the Lin Family, they rarely talked to each other. The only time that happened was when they bumped into each other at the main house during gatherings.

After all, there was no knowing what the Lin Family would have done if they had grouped up. They might have even eliminated them out of fear that they were plotting against the main family.

So they had to stay by themselves and only watch out for themselves.

Lin Fan was at a loss too.

He might have thought about just treating them as strangers that were just used as a means to solve a problem, but it was different now that he had made this connection with Lin Li Zi.

There was a part of him that wondered if it was possible to form a family connection with them after all.

After a long silence, Lin Fan said, "Just do what you want for now. See if there are any that can be molded, but if there aren\'t any, then there\'s no need to force yourself."

Lin Li Zi looked at Lin Fan with a surprised look before saying with a nod, "Un, Big Brother Fan."
