Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 506: Regret After Showing Off

"Brother, how did the exam go?" Zhao Guangran handed in his paper, full of anticipation.

Zhao Xuran looked at his anxious younger brother and waved his hand, "Alright, don’t disturb me grading the papers; you’re not planning on interfering, are you?"

Zhao Guangran chuckled awkwardly. Wasn’t that exactly his intention? He didn’t expect his big brother to be so blunt about it.

Big brother is really too honest sometimes, sigh, "Well, I wasn’t thinking like that." He couldn’t admit to it, or he’d be in for trouble.

Whether it’s true or not is something only the heart knows. Zhao Xuran gave Zhao Guangran an eye-roll. "Then stay away from me, or I’ll give you a zero."

No way, Zhao Guangran was shameless for grades, and he didn’t expect his big brother to be even more shameless.

"What, do you have an opinion?" Zhao Xuran continued grading papers, knowing Zhao Guangran’s expression wouldn’t look good without even seeing it.

Of course, he had an opinion, and a big one, but did Zhao Guangran dare to say it? "No opinion, no opinion."

"Brother, take your time grading the papers, no rush." Zhao Guangran slowly backed out of the room.

Before leaving, he couldn’t help looking back at his brother and found that he didn’t even glance at him, which saddened Zhao Guangran. His big brother was becoming more ruthless towards him.

Gong Ruini saw Zhao Guangran’s reluctance to leave every step he took in the drawing room, and she really wanted to laugh, "Alright, let’s read."

Looking at Gong Ruini’s calm demeanor, Zhao Guangran got annoyed. "Today’s exam wasn’t stressful for you, was it."

Of course, Gong Ruini expressed that the exam wasn’t stressful for her, but it was very stressful for Zhao Guangran, "How did you do?"

How did he do? Zhao Guangran pursed his lips and made a bitter face, "How do you think I did?"

"Sigh, you know, during the New Year, how could big brother be so harsh?" Zhao Guangran still thought it was because of Gong Ruini.

"I didn’t say anything, just Brother Xu Ran thinks we’ve been too lax lately," Gong Ruini could only hope Zhao Guangran wouldn’t do too poorly this time.

She knew she wouldn’t admit it, "Ah, right, it seems there’s no punishment this time." Zhao Guangran suddenly remembered something important, that Zhao Xuran never mentioned any punishment for failing the exam.

Zhao Guangran was ecstatic; he never thought his brother would make such a mistake. It was indeed difficult to get him to make a mistake.

Ah, no way, did Zhao Xuran actually not mention punishment? Gong Ruini was shocked, but after thinking about it, he indeed hadn’t brought it up, only saying if the final exam didn’t rank in the top ten grade, they would confiscate half of their income.

Uh, it seems Zhao Xuran’s plan this time is quite substantial, otherwise he wouldn’t have committed such an error.

Gong Ruini glanced at the smug Zhao Guangran, wanting to say something but ultimately remained silent. Forget it, let the kid show off; who knows what he’ll do once Zhao Xuran mentions punishment.

Even if Zhao Xuran hasn’t yet remembered, with Zhao Guangran making such a racket, won’t that make Zhao Xuran hear him? Once he hears it, won’t he appear?

"No, I can’t show off." Zhao Xuran celebrated extensively, but still felt he shouldn’t show off, or he might regret it.

Not only can’t he show off, but he must warn Gong Ruini, "You can’t mention this matter."

Gong Ruini lowered her head and continued reading, completely ignoring the overly excited guy.

"Hey, did you hear me?" Gong Ruini’s disregard made Zhao Guangran a bit angry. What’s with this girl, ignoring him like that?

"I heard, but you’d better not bring it up, or the neighbors might hear it." Gong Ruini pointed to the next room, signaling someone to be quiet.

Alright, he’ll quiet down, "Ni Zi, you don’t need to worry, but I’m excited." Zhao Guangran still couldn’t calm down, "You must know this exam wasn’t just difficult; I estimate only a twenty-percent chance of passing."

If there was hope of passing, Zhao Guangran wouldn’t be so excited, but he knew he didn’t have much hope of passing.

With Zhao Guangran’s excited voice outside, Zhao Xuran wasn’t deaf; how could he not hear?

The reason Zhao Xuran didn’t go out wasn’t to let Zhao Guangran off the hook, it was because he was furious with Zhao Guangran’s exam paper.

Gong Ruwen was also surprised by how Zhao Guangran performed on the exam; despite the difficulty, he didn’t expect such a score, causing Gong Ruwen’s surprise.

"Well, it is vacation time." Seeing Zhao Xuran’s furious breathing intensify, Gong Ruwen swallowed several times, trying his best to speak soothingly.

"It is vacation, but how come Ni Zi did so well?" Zhao Xuran did take a glance at Gong Ruini’s test paper and, although he hadn’t graded it, knew she did reasonably well; without a comparison, there is no harm.

Comparing with Gong Ruini? Gong Ruwen felt Zhao Xuran was choosing the wrong person to compare; it’s not only Zhao Guangran, even he wouldn’t dare claim to be smarter than the girl, "Brother Xu Ran, don’t get excited, comparing Guangran with Ni Zi, there’s just no comparison."

He was excited, Zhao Xuran felt his brain must have been waterlogged, "I was comparing Ni Zi with Guangran, sigh, forget it. That kid was outside bragging that I didn’t set a punishment, wasn’t he?"

That kid wasn’t all smug, was he? Let him be smug, but if I don’t act soon, he’ll not know the limits of his smugness.

Seeing Zhao Xuran’s murderous look, Gong Ruwen felt his rear tighten, sensing some impending doom.

"Brother Xu Ran, don’t rush; after all, it’s New Year, and the paper you gave was a bit tough, even I might not do well." Gong Ruwen was somewhat relieved Zhao Xuran hadn’t given him such a difficult paper, or what would he do?

"Don’t plead for that kid; if I don’t educate him properly, he’ll really get out of hand." Zhao Xuran pulled Gong Ruwen aside, "You go continue grading papers, the job of grading Guangran’s paper falls to you, or else I don’t know how I might retaliate harshly against that kid."

Oh no, really grade Zhao Guangran’s paper, this task is heavy, but no matter how unwilling, they couldn’t defy Zhao Xuran’s decision.

Gong Ruwen nervously graded the papers, while also listening intently to Zhao Xuran explaining things to Zhao Guangran next door.

Although Zhao Xuran’s voice wasn’t very fragrant, with the door open, Gong Ruwen heard everything about the punishment, and was equally shocked.

Previously, Zhao Guangran showed off without punishment, only to embarrass himself later, and this particular punishment wasn’t gentle. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Poor Guangran." What could Gong Ruwen say? Knowing his score wasn’t good, yet still getting cocky—running into Zhao Xuran’s fury wasn’t improbable.
