Chapter 926 - 924: Would You Feel It’s a Pity? (First Update)
No matter how the two brothers bicker or argue in everyday life, their bond is extremely strong.When it comes to the crucial matter of his dear brother’s first love, as the older brother, Ji Rui naturally takes it very seriously. Afterward, Da Bao secretly checked the surveillance video of the bookstore that day, but the assistant was facing away from the camera, so there was no way to investigate further.
Fortunately, it was just a fleeting glance, and the impact on Little Treasure wasn’t too significant. Although every time this matter is brought up, the young master’s face unconsciously shows a trace of longing, both Da Bao and Le Tong are glad he didn’t get deeply involved.
Speaking of which, although Little Treasure is the youngest child in this family, before Nuonuo entered the entertainment industry, everyone, including Little Treasure himself, treated Nuonuo as the Ji Family’s main focus for protection.
But after Nuonuo entered the entertainment circle, she quickly mature with her increasing experience, requiring less attention from everyone, and the Ji Family’s focus naturally shifted to Little Treasure.
Not yet eighteen, Little Treasure is smart, sensible, and capable, with nothing for the family to worry about.
If there must be a flaw in the perfect egg, it would be that such a handsome and intelligent young man has yet to fall in love.
Kids these days mature early; romantic relationships at fourteen or fifteen are pretty common.
Le Tong considered herself not old-fashioned, she had thought about how to guide and accept the children’s romantic behaviors correctly when they were fourteen or fifteen.
Yet when the kids actually grew up, she didn’t need to worry about their early romances at all.
Da Bao realized he liked Nuonuo when he was in his teens, and he kept himself pure and waited patiently until Nuonuo grew up. It wasn’t until Nuonuo turned twenty-two that she experienced the feelings of love.
As for Little Treasure, he’s nearing eighteen and surrounded by many friends, yet there’s never been any talk of him being interested in a particular girl.
Le Tong secretly pondered, she could accept if her two sons had emotions as low as their father’s. But her two treasures clearly had high intelligence and emotional quotients, why was the younger son nearing eighteen and seemingly not understanding male-female relationships.
Not until Da Bao disclosed the assistant incident did Le Tong finally ease her mind.
Turns out, her youngest son wasn’t emotionally unintelligent or ignorant; he simply hadn’t met someone who made his heart flutter yet.
Thus, ever since Da Bao’s clues about the assistant completely vanished, the four members of the Ji Family, along with Yang Sheng and his wife as the aunt and uncle, began casting a wide net as Da Bao suggested, screening girls around them according to the conditions given.
Of course, all this was done secretly, no one dared to let the young master of the Ji Family know.
At first, Nuonuo brought a bunch of classmates over to their house for a weekend gathering, most of them girls, two or three were even sisters of classmates. Such gatherings hadn’t happened since Nuonuo started acting.
Later, Le Tong and Ji Rui took their three kids to a birthday banquet of a friend they were merely acquainted with, usually they wouldn’t bring the kids to such events.
Then, Da Bao took Little Treasure to a cultural salon. The people attending all varied, but in terms of age, most were in their teens to twenties.
Others might not overthink this, but when it reached the third event, the cultural salon, the clever Little Treasure began to suspect something, so he straightforwardly asked Da Bao then and there.
"Brother, are you trying to introduce a girlfriend to me?"
Da Bao shook his head. Such matters, even if true, couldn’t be admitted.
"How could that be? Our young master is so handsome, girls who like him could circle R City several times, why would he need introductions?"
Ji Dabao is as smart as Ji Xiaobao!
Therefore, naturally, the young master didn’t believe Da Bao’s words. But not believing doesn’t change anything, as Ji Dabao persistently denied the scheme.
The suspicious young master decisively refused to attend any more banquets or activities with his parents or siblings thereafter.
"I’m only eighteen, why are you all so worried?"
The affair to find a girlfriend for Little Treasure lasted for more than half a month without stirring any waves, eventually fizzling out mid-way due to the main party’s non-cooperation.
After that, nobody brought up the matter of dating in front of the young master anymore.
After all, the young master had felt attraction before, who knows if he could handle the pressure if the topic were really pushed?
Glad to have peace, the young master soon returned to his usually mischievous self, occasionally provoking the brotherly and sisterly relationship for amusement, loving pranks and having a playful nature.
Nuonuo had an unusually long winter vacation that year and didn’t start school until early March.
Three days before school resumed, the film festival, delayed for over a month due to some reasons, finally opened its curtains.
At this renowned film festival, the work "Spring" by the acclaimed Director Sun, as the main featured movie of the festival, once again captivated the audience and gained lots of favorable reviews.
Simultaneously, as expected by film critics, "Spring" received nominations for several important awards, including Best Director, Best Film, Best Actor, and Best Newcomer.
Upon the announcement of the nominations, numerous critics even remarked that if Si Han weren’t a newcomer, her performance in the film was sufficient to compete with veteran actresses for the Best Actress award.
Of course, these were just words; Si Han herself believed she wasn’t qualified to stand alongside veterans who have honed their craft over many years.
So, when reporters quoted a critic before the awards were revealed, and asked Si Han, "Si Han, don’t you feel regret or unfairness? After all, although you’re a newcomer, the time and effort you’ve put into the role are no less than others."
On this day, Si Han was wearing a light green mermaid-style gown, with a snow-white shawl covering her shoulders, standing gracefully among a crowd of dazzlingly revealing female stars, elegant as a lotus, beautiful but not trying to be flashy.
"I don’t feel regret or unfairness. On the contrary, I’m very happy to have my performance recognized by the judges and audiences as a newcomer. As for saying that my effort and dedication matched others, that’s actually not correct. Considering just one film, it appears accurate, but honing one’s acting skills isn’t an overnight matter. Seniors have put in effort over ten or even a hundred projects to achieve their exquisite acting, equating to ten or a hundred times of the effort and dedication I invested. Compared to them, I’ve hardly contributed much. If my effort equals X, then the seniors have given 10X or 100X."
