Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 132: Really Want to Snitch

Zhan Jing watched Gong Ruini eating, "Don’t rush, eat slowly."

If Zhao Guangran were here, it would be normal for Gong Ruini to eat quickly and hurriedly, after all, that kid wouldn’t let his sister have her way.

But now that the younger son isn’t here, does Gong Ruini need to be in such a hurry?

It’s not that she’s rushing to eat, but she doesn’t know how to face Zhao Xuran.

Although Gong Ruini feels she hasn’t really tarnished Zhao Guangran’s reputation and only spoke the truth, she can’t help feeling caught when Zhao Xuran overhears her and Gong Ruiwen discussing Zhao Guangran.

If Zhao Xuran’s expression weren’t enough, Gong Ruini would feel relieved, at least knowing what to do.

The problem is Zhao Xuran just left her with a sentence, "Once you wake up, go eat something," and then simply walked away.

Though what he said was considerate, there was no beating around the bush.

But this is something Zhan Jing should say; otherwise, just hearing their comments wouldn’t only lead to a reprimand instead of providing food.

Zhao Xuran was actually a bit displeased upon overhearing the Gong family siblings discussing his brother unfavorably. As the elder brother, it’s natural to feel a bit upset.

Earlier, he didn’t flare up, which already showed he had quite a good temperament. But seeing Gong Ruini so timidly avoiding his gaze, he wasn’t that angry anymore.

As a daughter, it’s normal to worry about Uncle Gong, and his own brother can be quite problematic sometimes.

"Don’t worry, he’ll likely be happy today."

"He said he wanted to go through the comic books properly."

"And then asked me to tell him stories."

He wants Zhao Xuran to tell him stories while looking for comics, this kid’s demands are so low that Gong Ruini really doesn’t know where to look.

If it were her, she would say she’d work hard to find valuable things, then make others regret it.

But realistically, even if this kid stumbled upon a treasure, he’d likely miss it.

"And he said not to let you know." Zhao Xuran recalled his brother reminding him of this in the morning, feeling utterly helpless.

Buying comics for Zhao Xuran to tell stories but not letting her hear — this man isn’t just petty; it’s hard to imagine anyone wanting to marry him, in which case they wouldn’t have a good life.

But whoever marries Zhao Xuran doesn’t have a good life either, at least his brother won’t be overly calculative, though he’s occasionally erratic and unpredictable; otherwise, he’s alright.

As for their eldest brother, he’s a real fox; even though he protects those he cares for, he’s not above setting a trap for you now and then.

Not to mention his brother Zhao Guangran, that child doesn’t even realize how many times he’s been set up by his brother; it’s just that Zhao Guangran is simple-minded, otherwise he wouldn’t have coped.

In short, neither of the brothers is a good match.

Her younger son does have a temper, but who knew he’d be so petty; this is the first time Zhan Jing hears of it. But can the older son say this so casually?

"He said if I told stories to Gong Ruini, I wouldn’t be his brother." Knowing his brother was jealous, Zhao Xuran didn’t expect him to be so intensely jealous.

Is he planning a coup? Gong Ruini really wanted to laugh, picturing Zhao Guangran’s distressed face when he said it, "Brother, you can’t be nice to Brother Guangran, or else I won’t acknowledge you."

Ha, she too has a brother, and Zhao Xuran isn’t even as good as Zhao Guangran on many levels, not that Zhao Guangran, that immature kid, would ever realize how good Zhao Xuran is.

Is he fanning the flames on his side? Gong Ruwen thinks to himself that if he isn’t good to Ni Zi, who else can he be good to?

But in front of Aunt Zhan and Zhao Xuran, can he just say that? That would be a death wish.

"Your brother is really good to you." Zhao Xuran spoke up for Gong Ruwen, "If you were my sister, you’d probably be very frustrated."

A bit self-aware, though still a bit reserved; he should actually be all sorts of annoyed.

But since Zhao Xuran presented it this way, it’s hard not to accept graciously, "That’s because Guangran is not a sister."

Thinking about it, Zhao Guangran’s temperament is quite like a girl’s; it’s a pity he only resembles one in personality and not other aspects, otherwise Zhao Gang would likely be very affectionate.

"Aunt Zhan, next time, have a daughter." Gong Ruini thought even if Zhan Jing were about to have two sons, Zhao Xuran, who has been dealing with a mischievous younger brother for a long time, probably wouldn’t be too fond of a newborn brother; he might prefer a soft little sister instead.

A sister? Zhao Xuran felt really good about Gong Ruini’s suggestion. Originally, when Zhan Jing was pregnant, Zhao Xuran constantly prayed for a younger sister.

But didn’t expect his mother would continue to have sons, and not just one, after learning it wasn’t a sister; Zhao Xuran wasn’t feeling well, especially after witnessing the interactions between Gong Ruini and Gong Ruwen, which made him yearn for a sister even more.

Another pregnancy? Zhan Jing expressed her reluctance; having four sons was already incredibly stressful for the couple.

If the next is a girl, it would be manageable, but what if it’s another son? That would be the fifth, and the money for marrying them off would keep them endlessly busy.

Zhan Jing had already discussed with Zhao Gang that after this birth, they’d take steps to prevent further pregnancies.

But now seeing Zhao Xuran’s expectant eyes, Zhan Jing felt bad saying she had no plans of having more children in the future, as it would disappoint her son in many ways.

Not saying anything doesn’t mean Zhao Xuran can’t tell, it’s obvious his mother wouldn’t lie, "Alright, even without a sister, we have Nizi as a sister."

While not a biological sister, she might become part of their family, which would make the mom happy too.

In fact, Zhao Xuran also worried about what would happen if his mom continued having sons.

What if they all turned out like Zhao Guangran, what then?

Zhao Xuran can take on the big brother role to suppress them, but with so many mischievous kids to handle, just thinking about it gives him a headache.

"Ah." No way, treating her like a sister? Please, Gong Ruini wanted to say you can treat me as a guest, be polite and courteous.

Becoming his sister, Gong Ruini worried she would receive the same treatment as Zhao Guangran, and that would leave her nowhere to cry.

"Ah, what do you mean not willing to be my sister?" Gong Ruini’s surprised and slightly resistant expression made Zhao Xuran a little dissatisfied.

Is being his sister not a good thing? "You already call me brother."

He’s not wrong, but at least for now there’s some cordiality, "You won’t bully me like you bully Brother Guangran, right?" Gong Ruini said she worried about Zhao Xuran bullying her.

Bully her? Come on, Zhao Xuran expressed, "Do you think you are an easy person to bully?"

Someone so slippery, worrying about getting bullied by him? She needs to think about who she is.

"As for why Guangran gets bullied, it’s because he’s dumb." Zhao Xuran unceremoniously commented.

The statement is direct enough, simultaneously smearing Zhao Guangran; Gong Ruini really wanted to record it and play it for Zhao Guangran, expecting it would make him upset.

Unfortunately, she doesn’t have such a tool now, regretting why she didn’t encounter a spacetime anomaly before, which would allow storing things; but it’s all too late now.

"If you tell Guangran, he won’t believe it." Want to tattletale? Zhao Xuran expressed that no one would believe it anyway.

Gong Ruini quickly waved her hands, "I won’t tattletale." No one would believe it and might think she’s a villain, such a loss can’t be taken on.

Smart girl indeed, Zhao Xuran said to himself and stopped staring at Gong Ruini.

Why stare at her, why not Aunt Zhan and Gong Ruwen.

"My mom wouldn’t tell, only some people would." Zhao Xuran suddenly blurting this out really startled Gong Ruini.

Gong Ruini didn’t really understand what Zhao Xuran was raised on, how could he have so many ideas.
