Chapter 523: Chapter 523: Not Helping
Today my big brother doesn’t look too happy, Zhao Guangran nervously walked beside Zhao Xuran.
Sigh, I knew it couldn’t be too loud. If there’s too much commotion, my brother will definitely find out something.
What should I do? How should I explain this? Zhao Guangran kept trying to come up with an explanation.
"Big brother, I..." Zhao Guangran wanted to deny it, but the deed was done, and denying it wouldn’t help.
"Have you thought about what you’ll do if you can’t handle this?" When Zhao Xuran first heard about it, he was completely stunned.
You know, he kept reminding Zhao Guangran, this kid, not to do stupid things and to think carefully before speaking, but he just didn’t listen.
"It’s too late to regret now. Have you figured out how to deal with this today?" Zhao Xuran dared to bet his brother hadn’t figured out what to do.
Well, Zhao Guangran really hadn’t thought about it. "I think it mainly relies on them to take the initiative."
Take the initiative? Gong Ruini burst out laughing. She really couldn’t help it. Zhao Guangran was just incredibly naive.
Rely on them to take the initiative? How can they be active? All these years of turmoil, it’ll take a lot of time for these kids to realize the power of knowledge, especially with concerns about fluctuating policies.
"If I didn’t keep an eye on you, if Ni Zi wasn’t by your side, if I didn’t constantly test you, and punish you for bad grades, would you be proactive?" You’re not proactive yourself, yet you expect your buddies to be? This guy is really overthinking.
"Of course I would..." Zhao Guangran insisted he was always proactive. He considered himself a very studious person.
Being thick-skinned is one of Zhao Guangran’s virtues, and Gong Ruini quite liked his shameless demeanor.
Active? "Alright then, you just keep being proactive in your studies." Zhao Xuran laughed so hard his stomach hurt at his brother’s thick-skinned response. Since the kid put it that way, of course, he as the older brother should go along with it.
Huh, is big brother planning to leave him be? Zhao Guangran was dumbfounded. How could his big brother do that? "Big brother, you’re not going to make test papers anymore?"
"Isn’t it better not to make them?" Don’t think he doesn’t know that this brother has long yearned for the days without tests. Now not making him suffer, isn’t that better?
"Of course it’s not good." Zhao Guangran, of course, didn’t want a test every month, but he couldn’t accept punishment every time until he passed the next one. Now that his brother wasn’t giving tests, wouldn’t he keep being stuck? This really made Zhao Guangran anxious.
Originally, when Zhao Guangran said not good, Zhao Xuran thought his brother had grown up and became sensible, but his next words made his face change. Just knew this kid couldn’t be too hopeful.
Expecting something from Zhao Guangran is like wishing to infuriate yourself, "If you don’t want to do it, then don’t."
Really? Zhao Guangran’s eyes lit up. Not bad, not bad, that’s good news. Wait, doesn’t that mean he won’t bother his big brother later?
Zhao Guangran also agreed that his brother was right. Counting on them to take the initiative is impossible, so he has to increase the stakes for them.
And how to increase the stakes? Of course, by making them do the tests his brother creates, drowning them in exercises until they’re overwhelmed. But this requires someone to make the tests, and Zhao Guangran didn’t have the level to do that.
No, it’s not that he can’t make them, it’s that once he does, there’s no way to get the answers.
Without answers, how do you make the classmates do them? This gave Zhao Guangran all sorts of headaches, so the best solution was to let his brother be responsible for this matter since he often did such things anyway.
This kid has set his sights on Zhao Xuran, truly a talent. Just now he ticked Zhao Xuran off, and now he’s asking him for help, really thinking of him as someone who’s easy to persuade. Gong Ruini looks forward to seeing Zhao Xuran’s response.
Zhao Xuran was so frustrated by his brother’s reasonable response that he was almost spitting blood. "Aren’t you quite capable? Didn’t you say you wanted to lead the group to surpass the key class? Then work hard yourself."
Zhao Xuran doesn’t mind cleaning up after his brothers, but that doesn’t mean he’s entirely without temper. Today, Zhao Guangran’s actions really infuriated him.
Zhao Xuran worried that if he continued to help the kid, he wouldn’t know what trouble would arise in the future. Zhao Xuran really feared that one day he wouldn’t be able to clean up after Zhao Guangran.
Is big brother not planning to help him? Zhao Guangran panicked, had he known it would come to this, what should he do? Doesn’t that make what he said today empty words?
A lot of people came to see him today, discussing him so much. If he lost just like that, how could Zhao Guangran agree to it? He is Zhao Guangran, always one to say what he means, especially as this is the first thing he’s planned since coming to Beijing, he can’t lose.
Zhao Xuran couldn’t care less, such a fool, for the sake of face, not considering much at all. Of course, Zhao Xuran wouldn’t really not help Zhao Guangran; he couldn’t just stand by and let his brother be bullied.
But even if he eventually helps, Zhao Xuran says it has to wait until Zhao Guangran understands himself, otherwise he always relies on someone helping him solve these issues, when will he truly grow up?
Three brothers, and only this one brother, makes Zhao Xuran feel unusually exhausted. He hopes this incident can teach him a lot and make him grow quickly.
Zhao Xuran doesn’t pamper Zhao Guangran and just walks away, which makes Zhao Guangran anxious. You have to know that big brother is his greatest hope. If even big brother doesn’t want to help him, what should he do? Should he ask Uncle Cai Ming?
It’s not that Zhao Guangran can’t swallow his pride, but once his uncle knows, his parents will know too, then what should he do?
His parents don’t want him to stir up trouble at school, and now he’s caused such a big mess right after arriving; who knows what mom and dad would think? What should he do?
Zhao Guangran closely followed Zhao Xuran; he couldn’t give up and had to stay on good terms with big brother no matter what.
Gong Ruwen watched Zhao Guangran run off and frowned slightly, worried whether his sister would be taken care of.
"Bro, I’m fine, I’m okay." Gong Ruini pulled Gong Ruwen’s hand, indicating she was alright.
"No matter how that kid acts up, keep your distance from him, don’t let him drag you in." Gong Ruwen said he needed to have a talk with Zhao Xuran, if possible, it might be better to keep Gong Ruini and Zhao Guangran apart; otherwise, what if this brainless kid keeps messing up?
Let Zhao Guangran drag her in, that’s a big brother’s worry, not caring who bullies whom, but honestly, Gong Ruini found that quite comforting. "Don’t worry, big brother, I won’t let him bully me."
If she got pulled into a trap by such a youngster, she’d cry her eyes out.
