Chapter 513 No Ambition
Zhao Guangran kept staring at Gong Ruini while eating.
Zhao Guangran’s behavior was so obvious that Gong Ruini whispered to Gong Ruwen, "Brother, is there something on my face?"
Otherwise, why would Zhao Guangran keep looking at her? Apart from his annoyance over her not passing the test a few days ago, she hadn’t done anything else to provoke him.
Could it be that this guy has decided to make her his rival? But Zhao Guangran isn’t that naïve, is he? Trying to suppress her?
No way, no matter what this guy is planning, Gong Ruini decided she couldn’t lose face, so she glared fiercely back at Zhao Guangran.
Even though she doesn’t know what he’s up to, Gong Ruini won’t just sit back and suffer.
Wow, he actually dared to glare back, Zhao Guangran glared at Gong Ruini with displeasure.
"Alright, why are you having a staring contest?" Zhao Xuran couldn’t stand their eye game, "Hurry up and eat, then we’ll go to the exam."
Gong Ruini responded with an "Oh," and quickly started eating breakfast with her bowl.
Zhao Guangran felt wronged; obviously, Gong Ruini glared at him too, but why is Big Brother only picking on him?
"If you’re late again, you won’t be able to impress anyone." Zhao Xuran didn’t have time to deal with Zhao Guangran today, as he also had to take the exam.
Originally, Zhao Xuran wanted to go straight to middle school but decided to stay in elementary school for a year considering that Guangran and the others were new to Beijing; he didn’t know if they could adapt here.
But Zhao Xuran was also anxious; only by having excellent grades in elementary school could he get into a good school. Even someone as composed as Zhao Xuran felt the nerves.
"Stop playing around, hurry up and eat, then we’ll head to school." A few days ago, Zhao Xuran already figured out where the school was and found the quickest route from here to home.
Zhao Xuran was hiding it well, but his unusual behavior caught Gong Ruini’s attention.
Could Zhao Xuran be nervous? Impossible, in the future he handled huge deals flawlessly, so why be so nervous for just an entrance exam?
Zhao Guangran knew how to read the room, upon seeing his big brother’s not-so-great expression, he quietly huddled to the side, not daring to provoke him further.
Gong Ruwen kept reminding Gong Ruini to focus seriously on the exam, "Don’t rush, for the questions you can’t solve, likely others wouldn’t know either."
"Your scores don’t have to be impressive; either way, we’re definitely going to study here."
"Sis, don’t be nervous."
Listening to Gong Ruwen’s words, Gong Ruini could only feel relieved that she wasn’t a child, otherwise his words would make her lose motivation for the exam.
Though his words sounded reassuring, they kind of made her anxious, "Brother, don’t worry, I promised Dad I’d give my all to achieve my best score."
Giving it her all, what’s going on here? Wasn’t she just casually saying before? Gong Ruwen was shocked, "Sis..."
Wasn’t Sis supposed to keep a low profile? Why did she suddenly change her mind, what’s going on, how can Sis be so indecisive?
"Why the change of mind?" Zhao Xuran thought Guangran wouldn’t have encouraged Gong Ruini to change her mind but rather Guangran would have been influenced by Gong Ruini instead.
"Following my dad’s advice, even if I hold back now, won’t I make a stunning impact later?" Gong Ruini thought that Gong Tao was right. Not being a Beijing native, she initially got into a good elementary school with Zhuge Zhi’s help, but getting into a good middle school wouldn’t be easy later.
Though Beijing is big, there are only a few good middle schools, didn’t you notice that even Zhao Xuran wants to get into a good junior high? For locals, as long as their grades are decent, they don’t have to worry about this.
"Guangran, our goal isn’t just to score high, but also to get into a good junior high, then a good high school, and eventually the best university."
Being a time traveler is already like having a cheat life, Gong Ruini doesn’t mind activating a big cheat once more.
Good junior high, good high school, good university, Zhao Guangran was stunned by Gong Ruini’s plans, swallowing hard repeatedly.
Knowing Gong Ruini was ambitious, but didn’t expect to be involved; didn’t realize that the pressure wasn’t just normal pressure?
"I, I." Zhao Guangran was a little tongue-tied, "Ni Zi, it’s not that I don’t want to go to university, but your plans stress me out."
"Stressful?" Gong Ruini said she wouldn’t leave Zhao Guangran behind, "We grew up together, I can’t just abandon you."
"We must progress together, well, if you can’t keep up, it’s fine, there’s still Brother Xuran." Gong Ruini conveyed that during these days even if faced with middle-school syndrome, she wouldn’t be too reckless. As long as Zhao Xuran was around, things would get sorted out.
Progressing together, Zhao Guangran was on the verge of tears, not that he didn’t want to progress, he did, but not with so much pressure, "I think it’s better to aim a bit more moderately."
"Ni Zi, haven’t you always said not to show off too much, to keep a low profile and stay low-key?" Zhao Guangran didn’t want to stand out but worried that the consequence of casually boasting would be remembered by Big Brother.
Zhao Guangran could treat his words as nonsense, but Big Brother wouldn’t let them go unnoticed; they’d be remembered for sure.
"Really? Didn’t you just say you wanted to impress the teachers?" Tch, kid, now you say you want to give up, that’s really too late, I’ve already set up a trap for you.
Oh no, excessive, got trapped by Gong Ruini again, Zhao Guangran was furious, why did he eagerly jump into it, clearly knowing Gong Ruini wasn’t so kind-hearted.
"Junior high will have more physics and chemistry, shouldn’t that be quite hard?" Zhao Guangran hadn’t studied them but remembered how Zhao Gang and others were stressed while preparing for these subjects.
Even the parents seemed stressed about physics and chemistry, causing Zhao Guangran to feel a strong fear towards these subjects, despite not learning them.
"Shouldn’t be hard, don’t worry, with Brother Xuran around, even the toughest subjects can be learned." If you can’t solve them, practice more, use a sea of exercises technique, Zhao Guangran isn’t dumb; after doing enough exercises, these won’t be a problem.
Yeah, with Big Brother helping, wouldn’t he study hard? Anything else would be courting trouble.
Even if he’s dumb and doesn’t understand, Big Brother would use various means to make him get it, like making him do heavy physical labor, or worse, letting his wallet take a hit.
Zhao Guangran truly felt he wasn’t just slightly wronged, "I’ll work hard."
"Not just hard work, but you must achieve it; you’re a boy, how can you lack ambition?" Zhao Xuran listened to his little brother’s weak response, feeling a mixture of emotions, how can this boy speak so lackadaisically.
Listening to it, you’d know this guy lacks the desire to work hard and pursue; that won’t do, he must be pressured into it.
