Chapter 196: Chapter 196

Zhao Guangran always felt something strange today, always felt something was wrong, but couldn’t figure out what it was.

"Why hasn’t Ni Zi come out today?" Recently, work had started on repairing the canal and farm tools, so Gong Tao and Zhao Gang had to go out to work every day, but once they sat down, they noticed someone was missing.

"Oh right, tomorrow afternoon I’ll take you all to school, make sure to behave well." Although Gong Ruini was not yet school age, things were not that strict in the countryside, and with Zhao Gang’s influence, the school enrollment for the kids was smoothly arranged.

"There’s an exam tomorrow." Zhao Guangran was bewildered, how had another exam been scheduled without him noticing.

Every day there was so much to learn, and with so many assessments, suddenly having another school exam made Zhao Guangran feel life was really meaningless, why so many exams.

He didn’t even know how Ni Zi would overshadow him in the future, it was worrisome.

Oh, right, why isn’t Ni Zi here? Zhao Guangran was very surprised, "Why isn’t Ni Zi here?"

"Every time I got up, she would get up too?" Zhao Guangran would often complain to his parents that as a boy, he should get up early to help with work, or at least get up to study.

In any case, Zhao Guangran deeply felt like he was a child picked up from outside, really not favored by his parents, and it was strange how come Gong Ruini also slept in today.

"Maybe she’s exhausted, did you finish your homework yesterday?"

"There are new classes today." Although he didn’t know how Gong Ruini felt after returning yesterday, it was clear it wasn’t good.

Maybe she spent a whole night pondering until dawn before falling asleep. However, if this girl could think things through, it would be a good thing. The question was, could she?

Hua Miaozhu was surprised not to see Gong Ruini today, "Why hasn’t Ni Zi come?"

Could it be that girl is still drawing? This kid is too determined, "Guangran, go call Ni Zi to eat, skipping meals for art is not good for health."

Zhao Guangran was reluctant, why should he go call Gong Ruini, that girl was really cunning and wicked, why bother calling her.

Moreover, Gong Ruini wasn’t drawing at all, "Grandma, Ni Zi hasn’t gotten up yet."

Humph, everyone says Ni Zi is more diligent, gets up earlier than him, now they’ll see, she wasn’t up before him at all.

Ah, still not up, what’s going on? Is she feeling unwell, or has she been so discouraged lately that she can’t bear it anymore?

If it’s the latter, Hua Miaozhu was a little disappointed, "Is she feeling unwell, Rui Wen?"

"Little sister stayed up late drawing." Gong Ruwen made excuses for Gong Ruini, "She should be exhausted these days."

Although Gong Ruwen slept quite well yesterday, he still felt like his little sister next door seemed to fall asleep very late, she probably thought a lot about what Uncle said after coming back home.

So she was exhausted, Hua Miaozhu gave an "oh," "You’re the older brother, when you see Ni Zi working so hard, remind her not to overdo it."

"Drawing is something that requires long-term persistence, but you shouldn’t stress too much over it."

"You can only go far with good health." Hua Miaozhu advised Gong Ruwen. She was currently playing the role of the villain, so she couldn’t overtly comfort Gong Ruini.

Wow, she actually said something to comfort Ni Zi, Gong Ruwen was a bit surprised. Maybe Grandma also wants Ni Zi to face some setbacks, just like Uncle said.

Gong Ruwen decided that later he would certainly tell his sister what Grandma said, let her cheer up and reassure her that her efforts were noticed.

Gong Ruwen, after finishing breakfast, excitedly planned to go wake his sister but found she was already up practicing calligraphy.

Looking at the papers beside her, it showed she had been up for quite a while, "Sister, you’re up?"

"Why aren’t you having breakfast?"

After finishing her last stroke, Gong Ruini looked at Gong Ruwen with a smile, "I’ve been up for a bit, remembered I hadn’t practiced calligraphy, so I did that first."

"Not practicing for a day feels uncomfortable, bro, did you eat breakfast?" Gong Ruini carefully put away the pen and ink; if they spilled on the bed, it would be a big mess. Read complete versıon only at N0veI.Fiɾe.net

"I finished, hurry up, or Zhao Guangran will eat up all the good stuff." Gong Ruwen thought of today’s dishes that Ni Zi liked: pickled vegetable sprouts and scrambled eggs.

"No worries, I’ll go later." After tidying up her work, Gong Ruini slowly walked over to Gong Ruwen, "Brother, thank you."

Last night, Gong Ruini thought a lot. Although she really tried to hide it, and thought that Gong Ruwen was indeed a good brother, but as Cai Ming said, did she really respect this brother in her heart?

No, not at all, instead she felt this brother was a bit dumb, and it was convenient to have a brother who could take the front and shield her from a lot of trouble.

Seriously thinking about it, was Gong Ruwen really that foolish?

If not for the knowledge from before she transmigrated, Gong Ruini didn’t think she could really surpass Gong Ruwen, she might actually be the weakest among the four kids, you could tell from the Tong Tou Song.

All of it relied on the knowledge from before she transmigrated, but as time goes on, what if she forgets all this knowledge, and what if the development of this era surpasses what she knew before transmigration?

It would likely strip her of the so-called little prodigy aura, would she then still have the right to mock Gong Ruwen and Zhao Guangran?

Gong Ruini pondered for a whole night, deciding that she still needed to be grounded, even though she often said Zhao Guangran seemed like he always wanted to fly, in truth, she herself had long been far from being grounded.

Knowing the problem, she had to correct it, at least she wasn’t at a point where everyone despised her yet.

Gong Ruini really wanted to thank Cai Ming, because without her, she probably wouldn’t realize this mistake, only thinking her various criticisms were for others’ good, without considering if they could accept it.

Even though Gong Ruwen was her brother, who said a brother had to always help his sister and endure her scorn?

Maybe now Gong Ruwen is too young to notice, and she keeps it in control, but when he grows up, and her arrogance also grows, would Gong Ruwen not notice?

No matter how much he pampers his sister Gong Ruini, few could endure indefinitely, would their relationship be good then?

Then, no matter the stance Gong Tao’s couple takes, it could end up like Gong Dajiang and them, seeming biased.

Sister said thank you? What does that mean? Gong Ruwen didn’t understand, was it gratitude for the heads-up?

Gong Ruwen thought, other than that, what else would his sister thank for, "Thank what, you’re my sister."

Yes, that’s what being the older brother is about, but it’s a pity she was too spoiled before, always assuming the older brother would concede, without realizing that he too is human, with moments of hurt.
