Chapter 184: Chapter 184
"Hello, Brother Xu Ran." Gong Ruini smiled obsequiously, her voice sounding much more coy.
It gave Zhao Xuran, who was tutoring Zhao Guangran, quite a fright.
Zhao Guangran was even more extreme, his body shaking with a shiver before he slowly stopped his movements under Zhao Xuran’s disapproving gaze. The source of thɪs content is noᴠelfire.net
But even if he couldn’t express his various thoughts through actions, he could use words, "Ni Zi, what’s up with you, why are you suddenly being so nice to my brother?"
Zhao Guangran thought hard, "Ni Zi, the last time you were nice to my brother, it seemed like you wanted him to teach you to read and write sooner, right?"
Yes, that’s right, it was that time, Zhao Guangran could never forget it, it was because of Gong Ruini that he got into school mode early.
And it was also because of Gong Ruini that there was this assessment thing.
In short, all his hard days were because of Gong Ruini, could it be she has another scheme this time?
The more Zhao Guangran thought about it, the more likely it seemed, so he had to keep an eye on her and not let her deceive his big brother.
If it was just Gong Ruini being unlucky, Zhao Guangran wouldn’t have stopped her, if someone wants to cause trouble and make big brother scold her properly, why stop her?
"Brother, you can’t fall for it, you can’t follow what Ni Zi says." Zhao Guangran thought it over and decided not to let his big brother fulfill Gong Ruini’s request.
Even if Gong Ruini’s intentions were for herself, it might somehow turn into something that pits him, with such a companion, Zhao Guangran really doesn’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse.
Tsk, what’s up with this guy, constantly dragging someone down here, always with a look that says ’don’t think you can trick me,’ does this guy have a persecution complex?
"So, what is it?" Zhao Xuran was also very curious to know why Gong Ruini was suddenly so enthusiastic.
It really was that when Gong Ruini needed you, she’d be full of enthusiasm, but afterward, she’d be all indifferent, not like she’d ignore you after using you, but more like just getting along plainly.
See, Zhao Xuran really is better, a slightly older kid knows how to behave, not like Zhao Guangran, the little rascal who’s always raising a fuss.
"Big brother." Just knew at critical times his big brother wouldn’t be reliable, but is it okay to ignore your little brother in front of Gong Ruini?
Zhao Guangran looked at Zhao Xuran bitterly to express his discontent.
"Stop making a fuss." Zhao Xuran was not pleased with his little brother’s effeminate gestures.
To be honest, Zhao Xuran didn’t even know where his little brother learned these gestures from, even Gong Ruini rarely did such things.
Stop making a fuss, my god, big brother actually thinks he’s making trouble, which made Zhao Guangran feel like he’d been struck by lightning, he didn’t dare look at Gong Ruini’s expression, she must be laughing at him in her heart.
On any other day, Gong Ruini would definitely laugh big time, but now, she didn’t have the United States’ time to care what Zhao Guangran thought.
"Brother Xu Ran, is it true that Grandma is amazing, she’s skilled in piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting?" Gong Ruini had a face full of longing to know everything about Grandma.
Grandma? "That’s my grandma." It’s one thing to have taken away our big brother, and taken our parents’ attention, but now even the newly arrived grandma isn’t spared, how can there be someone so shameless.
Zhao Guangran expressed great displeasure, he had to let Gong Ruini know whose grandma she was, "Why are you calling my grandma ’grandma’?"
No, why is Gong Ruini asking these, does she want to learn? Oh my god, Zhao Guangran truly felt like he was struck by lightning, he felt the malicious intent directed at him from all directions.
"So what if my grandma knows so much, she won’t teach you." No way, he can’t let big brother agree to ask on Gong Ruini’s behalf.
Hmph, this girl must know that if she asks, grandma might agree, so she’d think of various ways to get big brother to ask.
Zhao Guangran remembered that mom mentioned grandma felt guilty for not being able to take care of the two of them while they grew up.
Once grandma hears big brother’s request, she’d surely agree, and afterward, his big brother might even insinuate that another grandson would be learning as well.
Oh my god, how can life go on ? Zhao Guangran felt like it was a dead end, with the things his big brother teaches, saying there’s no difficulty, he’s already learning , can’t imagine what it would be like learning from grandma.
"It’s not about you, why are you so worked up." What Zhao Guangran said made Gong Ruini feel a bit hurt, would it really be ruined if this kid truly wanted to wreck it?
No way, this girl’s so young, why does she want to learn so many things, can she keep up? Zhao Xuran also thought Gong Ruini’s demands might be too aggressive.
Compared to Zhao Guangran, Gong Ruini was much more intelligent and could sit still, but things like piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting truly require talent, and the time and effort involved would be even more, key point is, learning so many doesn’t guarantee you’d learn well.
"Ni Zi, you’re still young, I think just learning your current lessons is enough." Zhao Xuran thought about it for a long time and still didn’t want to face a child with an old soul.
Besides, with the current lessons, Gong Ruini isn’t too keen on going out to play, she likes staying home to read, Zhao Xuran had often heard Cai Meina complain about it.
If he obliged to Gong Ruini’s idea, once Aunt Cai knew, would she be upset with him?
With a slight sense of guilt, Zhao Xuran was half coaxing and half-determined to change Gong Ruini’s mind.
His big brother was still reliable, he was his real brother, Zhao Guangran didn’t expect that his big brother would actually not help, but rather try to quash Gong Ruini’s notion, excellent, excellent, Zhao Guangran was feeling splendid about it.
Ah, no way, she’s lowered herself this much, why won’t Zhao Xuran even be willing to help ask, it’s too much, "Brother Xu Ran, I can start learning from the simple things."
"I don’t want to be a country bumpkin."
"I don’t want to be a country girl, I want to learn many things."
"I heard from Aunt Zhan that grandma was once a talented lady, I also want to be a talented lady."
"Ni Zi’s not afraid of hardship."
Isn’t it just worrying she’d be afraid of hardship, and give up after studying for a while, we’re not really children, just to show off in the future, what does a little hardship now mean.
Looking at Gong Ruini’s firm expression, Zhao Xuran was dumbfounded, even when she initially fussed about learning, Gong Ruini didn’t seem this determined, yet now she was, truly rare.
"Fine, I’ll help you ask, but if you start learning, no quitting easily." Zhao Xuran asked again and again.
Gong Ruini was so happy, "I won’t quit, I won’t quit."
Hahaha, Brother Xu Ran is truly a good person, Gong Ruini excitedly threw herself into Zhao Xuran’s arms, kissing him on the face a few times, since as a child there’s nothing else to give as thanks, a kiss would convey my feelings.
Zhao Xuran was stunned, what in the world was happening.
Zhao Guangran’s mouth was wide open, not knowing what to say, honestly, he didn’t know what to say.
