Chapter 510: Chapter 510: Regret
The time together is short, and after having a meal, Gong Tao and the others have to head back, as they need to report to their school tomorrow to start their university life.
Watching Gong Tao and the others’ backs, Gong Ruini sighed gently in her heart; she really had a moment when she wanted to call out to Gong Tao.
She wanted to tell them that tomorrow is also the day she and her brother have to report to a new school, hoping Gong Tao and the others could send her and her brother to school, after all, they’re both changing schools.
But Gong Ruini dared not; their dad also has to report to university tomorrow, starting a new life for them.
"We can go back on the weekend." Gong Ruwen also didn’t want to part, regardless of before or now, even though dad went to Beijing, they have mom with them.
But seeing his sister reluctant to part with their parents, Gong Ruwen could only muster up the spirit to comfort her. Dad and the others are also reluctant to leave him and his sister, but as Dad said, only by separating now can everyone develop better.
"Dad said the quails have grown big, and soon we can place orders; we can start our business." Gong Ruwen didn’t know how to console Gong Ruini, but it didn’t matter as long as he mentioned topics Ni Zi was interested in.
Ah, those quails have grown big and are ready to order? Gong Ruini doesn’t have time to feel sad about irrelevant things now; that would be too sentimental.
Oh, these days, sending kids to school isn’t popular anymore. Even for the highly competitive college entrance exam, parents don’t take special leave to accompany them. It’s not that parents don’t care; it’s just not the trend.
Let it be.
This time, let it be. When mom and dad graduate, she must drag her brother to attend their graduation ceremony and take a camera to capture this memorable moment.
With a firm resolve, Gong Ruini stated that all these are three and a half years away; why worry now? Right now, making money is the priority.
"No rush, hatch more quails first, so we can do business." Just a few quails can’t lay many eggs daily.
Once the business kicks off, Gong Ruini hopes for a steady supply of materials; they can’t just run out after a few days. Otherwise, how can they gather popularity? Also, when the quails grow old, they can sell them as well.
Zhao Guangran has indeed been tired these days, eagerly looking forward to some rest. He had forgotten about the business he was once so excited about, remembering it only when Gong Ruwen brought it up and felt angry that his dad didn’t inform him. It’s too much.
Doesn’t he care about this matter? Hmph, dad used to say he would always remember, but now it’s clear dad’s words can’t be taken too seriously; he’s always setting traps for his son.
"I told dad not to inform you." Zhao Xuran stood up for Gong Tao, "You should focus on your own duties first."
Oh, work again, Zhao Guangran was quite dissatisfied. Today, he wanted to find his mother alone to discuss his older brother’s harsh actions, but his brother cunningly had already smoothed things over with their mom.
Recalling his mom’s advice, Zhao Guangran wanted to cry; if he knew his brother was going to be this harsh, he would’ve taken it more seriously and studied diligently even without waiting for the New Year.
"Big brother, we’re going to report tomorrow." Zhao Guangran could only hope that with classes starting tomorrow, his brother would ease up a bit.
Guang Ran received quite a few rejections today, and Zhao Xuran was well aware, mainly because their mother didn’t intervene for him, which made Zhao Xuran quite satisfied.
Nonetheless, regarding Zhao Guangran’s desire to avoid punishment, Zhao Xuran chuckled a few times, "What do you think?"
Oh, no way, is big brother really unwilling to bend the rules? Zhao Guangran looked at his brother unhappily, thinking it was too much. Didn’t he know they needed to build relationships with classmates at the new place to establish themselves in school?
"Brother, you must know that if I don’t get along with those people, they will bully Ni Zi." Zhao Guangran knew his position in his brother’s heart was insignificant, so it was better to bring Gong Ruini into the picture.
Bully Ni Zi? Is she that easy to bully? Gong Ruini admitted she wasn’t big, but she wasn’t a pushover either, and children nowadays shouldn’t be as mean as bullying students.
"Ni Zi won’t be bullied unless it’s your fault." Zhao Xuran had recently inquired about the students at their school, and he was quite pleased with his findings.
"Exactly, exactly." This was music to Gong Ruini’s ears; she wasn’t someone who invited trouble, so she refused to accept Zhao Guangran blaming her.
Brother, aren’t you forcing him to change his thinking? Oh, forget it, "I’ll sweep the courtyard." Worrying that if they continued talking, her brother and Gong Ruini might reveal some of his past embarrassing moments. To save face and to keep Ban Xia and the others unaware of his past, Zhao Guangran conceded.
Oh, he couldn’t bargain with his brother, whatever. More than anything, Zhao Guangran was concerned about another topic, "Brother, when do we start the new test?"
Only by passing the next test could he avoid chores, so rather than hoping his brother would let him go, it was more practical to hope for an easier test.
"In a month." Zhao Xuran wouldn’t let Zhao Guangran off easily this time, intending to ensure he values the family test more, otherwise, he’ll remain inattentive as always.
Oh no, a month; this was a bolt from the blue. Zhao Guangran swayed a few times, feeling like collapsing.
It’s not that he didn’t want to fall over, but as soon as he showed signs of weakness, Gong Ruini and the twins quickly distanced themselves from him, infuriating Zhao Guangran.
Are they still good siblings? Zhao Guangran wanted to rush over and discuss what brotherly love meant, but he held back; he couldn’t do that with his brother standing nearby.
"Brother, will the next test be difficult?" Zhao Guangran thought he should ask the most crucial question; other matters could be overlooked.
If it’s another high-difficulty test, Zhao Guangran preferred to maintain the current punishment; the chores weren’t that heavy, and who knew if he could handle different tasks.
"Whether it’s difficult or not, how can I say? Some find it tough, others easy." Zhao Xuran threw that in as a challenge to Zhao Guangran.
Way to hit me where it hurts, brother! He knew how awful things were for him yet felt a need to be sarcastic?
"If you study seriously, the test won’t be hard. Look at Ni Zi." Zhao Xuran genuinely saw no issue in his comment.
Gong Ruini felt a bit embarrassed. If she wasn’t from the future, given Zhao Xuran’s papers, she might not score better than Zhao Guangran.
Feeling remorseful, Gong Ruini repeatedly apologized to Zhao Guangran in her heart. If it weren’t for her, Zhao Guangran might have outshone the Zhao Family, but now, he’s just getting criticized.
More serious study again, Zhao Guangran felt helpless. He genuinely was putting effort into studying, so why couldn’t he outperform Gong Ruini? No, he needed to ask Gong Ruini for tips.
