After settling the bill, Little Treasure insisted on going to the video ga center on the fifth floor of the book city. Nuonuo never had much interest in video gas, plus she was thinking about going ho to study, so she asked Le Tong if she could accompany her back ho first.
Le Tong thought about it. Nuonuo had fallen behind in her studies because of shooting the advertisent. The little girl isn’t the sa as Little Treasure; if she doesn’t catch up on her howork over the weekend, she might not be able to keep up on Monday.
Although the Ji Family doesn’t really care much about Nuonuo’s grades, the little girl herself cares deeply about them.
Seeing the situation, Ji Rui said to Le Tong, "You can take Nuonuo ho first, and I’ll catch a ride back with Little Treasure later."
When Nuonuo arrived ho, she took out her books and began studying.
Being a responsible brother, Little Treasure had already marked the key points for each subject for her before going out. Nuonuo followed Little Treasure’s outline and didn’t find self-studying particularly difficult.
By the ti Da Bao ca ho, it was already evening. As soon as he opened the door, he heard Nuonuo reciting an English story with her crisp and clear voice.
Nuonuo and Little Treasure had their study area set up in the back hall near the patio. There, two desks and a large bookshelf were placed, and on the side of the bookshelf was Nuonuo’s sheet music stand and violin.
After changing his shoes, Da Bao stood in the front hall and looked in, only to see Nuonuo sitting on a high stool facing the patio, wearing headphones, nodding her head as she loudly recited along, seemingly following along with an educational CD.
Da Bao silently stood there for a long while before turning to walk to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Le Tong’s dinner was almost ready.
"Mommy, you’ve worked hard!" As soon as Da Bao walked in, he hugged Le Tong and kissed her cheek.
"Baby, you’re back, are you hungry?"
Da Bao nodded obediently, "Hungry!"
Saying this, he had already grabbed a braised chicken wing from the counter and started gnawing on it.
Le Tong turned her head and looked at him with a smile, then turned to take two bowls from the cabinet, serving two bowls of soup and placing them on a tray.
"You and Nuonuo have so soup to start."
"What about Daddy and Little Treasure?" Da Bao caught on to the important point.
"We went to the book city to buy books this afternoon. After buying books, the two of them went to the video ga center to play."
Da Bao stood at the kitchen door with the tray, "Didn’t Nuonuo go with them to play?"
"She was worried about the howork she missed and said she wanted to co back to catch up, so I ca back with her first."
Da Bao stood thoughtfully for a mont before carrying the tray to the back hall.
Nuonuo was still focused on reciting the lesson, nodding her head. Da Bao put down the tray, leaned over, and pulled off her headphones, kissing her as he did so.
"Nuonuo, have so soup first."
Even though they hadn’t seen each other for just a day, it felt like they hadn’t t for a long ti.
Seeing her rosy-cheeked, she must have slept well last night. But lately, he has been too preoccupied; even when sleeping at ho, he often remains in a semi-asleep state, causing him to be distracted during etings today and even being teased by the head of the design departnt who said he must be in love, hence the distraction.
"Brother!"
Nuonuo, clueless about everything, took off her headphones and accepted the soup that Da Bao handed over. Probably hungry, she gulped down half a bowl of soup before rembering sothing, stepped up, and kissed Da Bao on the cheek.
Da Bao looked at her oily lips, frowned slightly, and reached out to wipe them, sure enough, getting a hand full of oil.
Nuonuo then realized, innocently blinked her eyes, and seeing Da Bao’s serious expression, stuck out her tongue playfully.
Da Bao wrapped his arm around her waist, lowered his head, and pretended to look angrily at her.
"Little girl, did you do it on purpose?"
With that, he turned her around and symbolically tapped her bottom twice with his hand.
This kind of painless "punishnt" only made Nuonuo burst into laughter, burying her head into Da Bao’s embrace.
"Brother, spare , I won’t dare anymore!"
"This girl, when did you learn such mischievousness from Little Treasure?"
In Da Bao’s eyes, his precious sister wasn’t supposed to be this cheeky.
"Brother, I didn’t teach Sister bad things! Don’t wrong !"
Little Treasure, who had just entered the house, heard his brother’s words and quickly defended himself, not even having ti to change his shoes.
Da Bao helped Nuonuo up, glanced at Little Treasure, "You’ve got good ears, yelling that I’m wronging you so quickly. Do you know what I’m accusing you of teaching your Sister?"
Little Treasure was montarily at a loss for words, desperately signaling Nuonuo for help.
Yesterday, Brother finally agreed to take him to the company tomorrow to play the latest ga, with money involved! No matter why Brother is accusing him now, he doesn’t want to anger him at this critical mont.
In the Ji Family’s five-mber food chain, if Le Tong is at the top, then next would be Nuonuo. In the middle is Da Bao, while Little Treasure thinks he’s second from the bottom, with the very bottom obviously being his dad, President Ji.
Don’t question the rationality of this food chain; anyway, everyone in the Ji Family has been living according to this order, mutually benefiting over the years.
Moreover, no one finds this hierarchy inappropriate, including the widely-known President Ji, who willingly becos the object of exploitation at ho.
Nuonuo is a loyal child and would definitely not push her matters onto Little Treasure.
"Brother, it was Nuonuo’s fault; it has nothing to do with Little Treasure."
She also knew very well that if she made a mistake, Brother would at most scold her a bit, but if Little Treasure made a mistake, he could imdiately suffer physical punishnt.
Da Bao pinched her cheek, letting her off.
Seeing the crisis resolved, Little Treasure kicked off his shoes and excitedly sprinted over to Da Bao, saying, "Brother, let tell you, Daddy and I played this ga just now, it’s super cool! The sound effects are realistic, the graphics are stunning! Wow, playing on the big screen at ho would be even better!"
Da Bao tapped his head, "All you know is playing, go pick up your shoes and put them in the shoe cabinet."
Little Treasure chuckled, ran back to the hallway to tidy up his shoes, then flew over to Da Bao after taking a large stack of books from Ji Rui who had just co in, proudly showing them off.
"Brother, look, this is the latest issue of Military World. Check out this assault rifle, the latest model! Daddy said he has a way to get a few high-quality replicas, but let say this first, if there’s only one, you can’t take it from ."
Da Bao rubbed his head and smiled while promising, "Sure, I won’t take it from you."
Not to ntion he’s already a grown-up (even though Da Bao isn’t of age yet, he’s long considered himself to be), he wouldn’t compete for toys with kids anymore.
Even when he was still a kid, anything his younger brother and sister wanted, no matter how much he liked it, he would willingly give it up. It’s his duty as a brother.
