Chapter 356: Chapter 356

Gong Ruini just took a couple of steps and found herself out of breath, which scared her quite a bit.

Previously, she wouldn’t have been out of breath after just two steps.

"My body is too weak." Gong Ruini said dejectedly.

"This won’t do, I need to get up early tomorrow to run." She couldn’t afford to neglect her health at such a young age.

The body’s innate condition wasn’t great. If Gong Ruini doesn’t exercise diligently later on, she’s worried she’d die young, and she didn’t want her transmigration to end .

As someone who had transmigrated, she didn’t need to achieve greatness, but at least she shouldn’t die without any accomplishments.

"That’s because you’ve gained weight." Zhao Guangran was quite surprised to see Gong Ruini come back home after going out for just a short while.

Gained weight? That comment sounded unreliable; hmph, didn’t he notice her small face had thinned?

Though she wasn’t quite a heart-shaped face beauty, she didn’t have a chubby face either. Even the hardest-to-slim-down facial fat had decreased; it didn’t make sense for the body fat to remain.

Hmph, she had just thought Zhao Guangran was a nice person who would give her a heads up, but now Gong Ruini declared that Zhao Guangran didn’t deserve a good person card.

This guy was a flippant character, who would make offensive remarks now and then.

"Your face may be thinner, but you have a little belly now."

"And your legs have gotten thicker than before." Zhao Guangran insisted loudly that he wasn’t wrong.

Geez, this guy was too much, mentioning two things Gong Ruini didn’t want to hear, "How do you know I have a little belly? That’s only because I just ate too much."

"And how do you know my legs got thicker?" It’s obviously winter; how could Zhao Guangran see them? Could it be this guy was peeking, which made Gong Ruini very displeased.

Being a voyeur at such a young age, what would he be like when he grows up?

"It wasn’t just today’s overeating; it’s because you’re always eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating. Last time, when you were playing around with Banxia, he lifted your shirt and saw it."

"And last time when you crawled out of bed without pants, I happened to see your legs looking all flabby."

Hmph, as if he wanted to see that, it wasn’t something delicious, what’s there to see?

Flabby legs? This guy sure can talk, she’s not an old lady; how could she have flabby flesh?

Gong Ruini admitted she hadn’t been exercising recently, which resulted in a little belly, and her legs had softened a bit, but was that deliberate?

And there was no need to exaggerate like that, especially speaking so loudly, what’s with the immense resentment?

No, she needed to exercise more diligently; Gong Ruini couldn’t bear having people see flabby flesh when wearing a dress in the summer, that’d be embarrassing.

Gong Ruini didn’t dare refute, fearing that if she pressed Zhao Guangran too hard, he might dare her to show everyone, making it awkward whether she did or not.

Hmph, let that brat off the hook for now, anyway, by summer, everyone would be surprised.

"Guangran..." Zhao Xuran looked at the aggrieved, almost about to cry, Gong Ruini, feeling all sorts of pity and could only reprimand his brother.

How was this his fault again? Zhao Guangran was full of grievance, he had only stated the facts, yet his big brother was scolding him.

Hmph, wasn’t this just playing victim? Zhao Guangran showed he could also pull this trick, blinking hard for quite a while to squeeze out some tears.

He looked up pitifully at Zhao Xuran, but unfortunately, the boy tried too hard, making his eyes red.

But Zhao Xuran wasn’t one to easily baby his little brother, mainly because Zhao Guangran often made mistakes. If he got away with this pitiful act every time, who knew how it might spoil his younger brothers?

Zhao Xuran steeled himself, gritting his teeth, pretending not to notice, "If someone says your grades aren’t good, and you’re not as good as Ni Zi, would you acknowledge that?"

What a big brother indeed, in Gong Ruini’s heart bloomed joy. No matter how Zhao Guangran attacked, with Uncle Zhao and others backing her up from above, Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruwen supporting her in the front, and Zhao Banxia and those kids cheering from behind, she could utterly crush Zhao Guangran in as many ways as one could imagine, whether in momentum or popularity.

Really couldn’t understand how a guy who lost every time never thought of giving up.

"I acknowledge it." Zhao Guangran now came clean, previously wanting to crush Gong Ruini but now having no such thoughts.

Having put in considerable time studying yet consistently being outperformed by Gong Ruini, even though Ni Zi often read outside books and didn’t seem overly serious in class, but she always managed to score well in exams, leaving Zhao Guangran with no choice but to acknowledge it.

Even if he truly didn’t acknowledge it, it’d only anger him half to death.

Zhao Guangran’s frank outlook left Zhao Xuran speechless, ah, did this count as his brother giving up? Luckily, he hadn’t abandoned his studies; otherwise, Zhao Xuran would’ve been grieved to death.

"Brother Guangran thick-skinned." Zhao Xuran might be at wit’s end with Zhao Guangran, but the twins stepped in to help Zhao Xuran solidly.

"Right, thick-skinned."

"He always says brothers should set an example, but Brother Guangran hasn’t been a very good role model."

"That’s right, Brother Guangran isn’t as smart as us."

"Exactly, exactly, Brother Guangran can’t even memorize the medical books."

The twins pointed out various unwise areas of Zhao Guangran, who admitted that compared to the two brothers, he really wasn’t interested in medicine, and after the younger two manifested their talent in medicine, he felt completely liberated.

"I may not be bright, but my surname is Zhao, whereas you’re actually Zhan." Zhao Guangran suddenly remembered a very important point: the twins’ surname was Zhan.

Uh, if it weren’t for Zhao Guangran’s reminder, Gong Ruini and the others might not have remembered that; previously, they heard Uncle Zhao mention once that the two kids took Zhan Jing’s surname.

But everyone got used to calling them with the Zhao surname, and Hua Miaozhu looked on with a face full of comfort.

Every time she heard people prefixing Banxia and Zisu with the Zhao surname, the old lady got quite anxious, even though officially, their surname was Zhan. Latest content publıshed on novel·fıre·net

Unable to stop the surrounding people from habitually calling them Zhao Banxia and Zhao Zisu, the old lady truly worried that the two children would grow accustomed to being called Zhao, and later, when told they should be Zhan, they’d be all sorts of confused.

Yet the old lady couldn’t just go around telling everyone the kids’ surname is Zhan, it felt too forced, and she worried Uncle Zhao would overthink it.

At this moment, Zhao Guangran’s words made the old lady heave a sigh of relief, as long as Zhao Xuran and the others regularly called them Zhan Banxia and Zhan Zisu, then the adults would get used to it too.

Once everyone was calling them by that name, the kids would also become accustomed to their new names, making Hua Miaozhu reckon she must reward Zhao Guangran tomorrow.

As for how to reward him, it was really quite simple, just make something delicious.

As for letting up on his studies, the old lady no longer entertained the idea; slacking in school was truly harming her grandson.
