Chapter 861: Chapter 863: Reading More Books Is the Way to Go

Zhao Xuran knew his words were a bit blunt, but he didn’t regret them. He didn’t wish...

"I’m worried that once Mom has a notion, she’ll go talk to Cao Na," Zhao Xuran explained why he spoke like this after their parents left.

Ah, would Zhan Jing go talk to Cao Na? She probably wouldn’t, but when it comes to their children, Gong Ruini might not hold back. Parents really do many things others consider foolish for their children, but they don’t see it that way.

"If she goes to talk to Cao Na, how do you think the Cao Family would react?" Zhao Xuran understood Zhan Jing’s intentions were good, but how would it look to the Cao Family?

Being the eldest isn’t easy, but big brother, do you know your words make you seem cold-blooded?

"I don’t care about what others think. I only care about the opinions of those I care about," Zhao Guangran seemed to know Gong Ruini’s thoughts, speaking those words to her.

Caring about the feelings of those you care about—was he implying that she’s someone he cares about? But Gong Ruini dared not ask.

Gong Ruini was worried Zhao Xuran might say she’s thinking too highly of herself.

Gong Ruini hesitated to speak, leaving Zhao Xuran, waiting for her curiosity to burst forth, a bit disappointed. But he quickly perked up.

"I’m confident about this final exam." Since they’re about to leave, this time they should do well on the exams.

Gong Ruini replied with a hum, "I wasn’t planning to hold back. Now that we’re leaving, I’m even less inclined to hold back."

"Initially, I thought maybe I shouldn’t go too far, but with this, I want them to fully understand that I am their legend."

"Make the school regret all kinds of things in the future."

Legend? That word choice is interesting. Zhao Xuran was genuinely curious about how Gong Ruini planned to become the legend she spoke of.

Regarding this, Gong Ruini intended to keep a bit of mystery.

But Zhao Guangran’s first reaction upon hearing half of it was, "You’re not planning to score full marks on everything, are you?"

"No way, it’s impossible to get full marks on the essay." The time is too short to ponder and write a good piece, and teachers deduct points appropriately to keep students humble.

"Ah ah ah." Gong Ruini was very exasperated by why Zhao Guangran was so unreserved, blurting it out like that. Didn’t he know she wanted to give people a surprise?

Zhao Guangran didn’t understand why Gong Ruini was so agitated, "Big brother should have thought of it long ago."

"But he didn’t say it." Gong Ruini knew Zhao Xuran would figure it out, but look at the grace he had; even knowing, he didn’t say a word.

"Your big mouth." Gong Ruini hummed various complaints, "Forget it, but you can’t tell anyone."

Although Gong Ruini had this plan, she wasn’t going to say it; she intended to prove it with actions.

Hmph, does he have such a big mouth? "Why would I say anything? It’s a pity I can’t see their faces when they get served!"

Zhao Guangran regretted only that little bit; otherwise, he didn’t feel sorry at all, "Yeah, I need to work hard on the exam too. This time, we’ll crush them."

Since Gong Ruini was going to show off, Zhao Guangran, who always liked showing off, certainly couldn’t miss the chance, "I can’t just let you perform alone."

Perform? Gong Ruini had to put a lot of effort just to achieve such a result, not knowing how much hard work she had to put in, yet in Zhao Guangran’s eyes, it was acting.

Gong Ruini angrily kicked Zhao Guangran a few times, "Follow my review, I’ll give you questions."

Hmph, wasn’t the goal to score well? Gong Ruini expressed she wouldn’t stop until Zhao Guangran was thoroughly challenged, or she wouldn’t be a Gong.

Zhao Guangran looked at Gong Ruini grinning menacingly, shaking his head continuously. Though stealing the spotlight was nice, considering he had just provoked Gong Ruini recklessly, who knows how she’ll get back at him?

And during review sessions, the best revenge method is non-stop question drills, with questions all packed with difficulty. Get too many wrong and you’re in for a harsh reality check.

Comparing the two, Zhao Guangran knew how to choose. After all, his grades wouldn’t be bad; he just cared if it was a massive crush on everyone else.

Want to regret? No way Gong Ruini would let Zhao Guangran regret, regardless of his thoughts, just looking toward Zhao Xuran.

Zhao Xuran certainly contributed his own little brother, making Gong Ruini happy without misfortune befalling him, since Zhao Guangran did a great deed.

"Guang Ran, you already agreed before, so you have no reason not to follow through."

5555, as expected, big brother was Gong Ruini’s sidekick; even if his reasons were all sorts of right, was selling him out like this really okay?

Zhao Guangran’s eyes brimmed with tears, hoping to change Zhao Xuran’s mind, but how could that happen?

The helpless Zhao Guangran ultimately just conceded, "In that case, I have to achieve a good score."

You can already imagine how miserable his upcoming days would be; might as well strive for a good score to keep everyone happy.

"Here, all these questions, complete them today."

"These questions, complete them tomorrow."

Before Zhao Guangran could sit down, Gong Ruini had already tossed all the questions she had prepared before over to him.

Ah ah ah, really? At least say a couple of words, set their goals, then have a bite to eat. That’s how you get into studying mode.

They didn’t even call him to sit down, just directly entered battle mode. Zhao Guangran glanced at the questions, feeling completely overwhelmed.

"Are these what I have to complete today?"

Then picking up the stack next to him, "These are what I have to complete tomorrow?"

Oh my god, these challenging questions, having him complete them in such a short time, do they think his brain is super cunning, facing no pressure with these tasks?

Zhao Guangran was truly ready to kneel before Gong Ruini, "I can’t finish them."

He fixed his gaze on Gong Ruini, wanting to know how long she’ll take.

"These questions, I’ll finish them within an hour." They’re not too difficult, is that expression really necessary?

An hour? That’s a reach; Zhao Guangran kept gulping, really too crushing. Sigh, just knew not to compare with Gong Ruini.

Just knew her mind spun extra fast, comparing grades like this either meant seeking death or seeking defeat.

"I understand." Negotiating or bargaining further was useless, as Gong Ruini wouldn’t pay attention.

Instead of haggling with her, might as well think about how to complete the questions.

Watching Zhao Guangran quietly taking up the exercises and completing them, and then herself picking up a book and starting to recite.

Though her mind’s memory was very sharp currently, Gong Ruini still regularly memorized and recited, striving to engrave these things into her core.

Zhao Guangran stole a glance at the book Gong Ruini was reading, um, better not to look. Once you do, it’ll truly be making things uncomfortable for himself.

Zhao Guangran didn’t understand why, since she’s already memorized the book, Gong Ruini kept rereading. Was this why her grades always turned out good?

Zhao Guangran wondered if the grade improvement was tied to this, but spending time reading was vastly better than squandering time on indulgence.
