Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 653 - 651 A Small Farewell (Third Update)

That night, Nuonuo held onto Brother Dabao tightly even in her sleep. Brother Dabao tried to pry her hand away, but every time he exerted a bit of force to pinch her hand, Nuonuo would slightly open her eyes as if to confirm he was still there. Then she would nervously snuggle deeper into his arms.

"Brother... don’t leave..."

Even if Brother Dabao had a heart of stone, he would be softened by Nuonuo’s unconscious actions. Besides, he did not have a heart of stone; on the contrary, he was a brother who couldn’t refuse his little sister.

Therefore, on the night before heading to the military camp for the closed training, Brother Dabao slept in Nuonuo’s room, which was decorated with a little princess vibe. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The next morning, the little princess opened her eyes and saw her Brother Dabao still lying beside her. She happily crawled out of his embrace and gave him a kiss on the lips.

"Brother, you lazy pig, wake up!"

Brother Dabao was bothered by Nuonuo for most of the night and only drifted off into a daze in the later part of the night. Now, he opened his eyes slightly, his mind still a bit muddled.

"Nuonuo? What are you doing on my bed?" He propped himself up to sit and realized it was actually the little girl’s bedroom, remembering last night’s events.

Nuonuo ignored Brother Dabao’s question, lay on his back, and kicked his bum with her little foot.

"Brother, carry Nuonuo to brush her teeth..." The little girl would occasionally act spoiled, and Brother Dabao would mostly indulge her. Now, thinking he wouldn’t see her for half a month, he naturally couldn’t bear to refuse.

In Nuonuo and Little Treasure’s bedroom, all the washing utensils were designed at a child’s height. Nuonuo stood in front of the short washstand, raising her little face, waiting for Brother Dabao to squeeze her toothpaste.

"Here you go!" Brother Dabao bent over to hand the toothbrush with squeezed toothpaste to Nuonuo, kissed her cheek, stood up, and was about to leave.

"Brother!" Nuonuo grabbed his clothes.

Brother Dabao turned his head to look at her, "Hmm?"

"Stay with Nuonuo..." Nuonuo blinked her eyes pitifully. It seemed she remembered her brother would leave her for half a month.

Brother Dabao didn’t make a sound; he squatted down and hugged the little girl, looking quietly at her, as if agreeing to her request.

The little girl seriously brushed her teeth, rinsed properly, then showed her teeth to Brother Dabao, smiling cheekily, "Brother Dabao, are they clean?"

"Yes, very clean!" Thinking about how he wouldn’t see this adorable little girl for so many days, Brother Dabao felt an inexplicable drop in mood.

When Brother Dabao dragged his luggage and got in the car, he saw Nuonuo outside the car hugging Le Tong’s shoulder, crying with silent sobs. Her eyes were as red as a rabbit’s, and though she looked so pitifully tearful, she bit her lip, unwilling to cry out loud. Brother Dabao’s already low mood plunged directly to the bottom.

Unable to help it, he got off the car, bent down to pick up Nuonuo, and kissed her tear-stained little face repeatedly.

"Silly girl, Brother will be back soon. Nuonuo, remember to watch over Little Treasure and make sure he doesn’t cause trouble, so Brother won’t worry, okay?"

Brother Dabao wisely shifted Nuonuo’s attention to another matter, knowing well that Nuonuo was a little girl with a strong sense of responsibility.

Sure enough, Nuonuo stopped crying, nodded while still tearful, "Hmm... Nuonuo knows..."

"Good girl, when Brother returns, he will make wontons for Nuonuo."

Brother Dabao kissed Nuonuo once more, then handed her to Ji Rui standing nearby, turned to kiss Le Tong and Little Treasure, and climbed back into the car, instructing Uncle Xiao Li to drive off.

The car was stopped at the entrance of the military camp, informed that no outside vehicles were allowed inside.

Uncle Xiao Li, who had followed Ji Rui for years, wanted to use connections to get the guard soldiers to let them pass, but Brother Dabao noticed his intention and pulled his arm, saying, "Uncle Xiao Li, you can just leave me here. I’m grown up; I can manage on my own!"

If Ji Rui and Le Tong had come today, they definitely wouldn’t have wanted to seek privilege. As parents, they hoped their son would live the life of ordinary kids, not grow up under the umbrella of special privilege.

However, in Uncle Xiao Li’s eyes, Ji Dabao is the Ji Family’s young master, of noble status.

"But, the luggage is so much!"

Actually, Brother Dabao only had one suitcase; it wasn’t considered much luggage.

"It’s fine. I’ll get off here. Bye, Uncle Xiao Li!" Brother Dabao patted Uncle Xiao Li’s shoulder, got off the car, walked to the back to drag his luggage from the trunk, waved at Uncle Xiao Li, walked to the guard booth, verified his documents, and dragged his suitcase without looking back as he entered the military camp.

Inside the military camp, there was a designated area for receiving students. Brother Dabao saw Yin Zhihao and Ren Weiqi in the service area. Though their grades weren’t as good as Brother Dabao’s, they managed to sneak into this prestigious university. However, both were in the computer science department, different from Brother Dabao’s department.

The three chatted briefly before being urged by the soldier responsible for reception to report at the service area.

Because of being in different departments, the three naturally couldn’t stay together. Yin Zhihao and Ren Weiqi stayed on the third floor while Brother Dabao stayed on the fifth floor.

As Brother Dabao expected, after entering the dormitory and arriving for assembly, the squad leader ordered everyone to bring out their luggage. Aside from the basic necessities for life, all electronic devices and snacks were placed in a box to be temporarily stored; they would be returned when leaving after military training.

The dorm resounded with groans and pleas, as the students used to online life expressed their pain at not being able to go online or play games. Brother Dabao felt similar pain, but not because he couldn’t play games. His pain was the inability to contact his family.

He had promised the silly girl to call back whenever possible, but now it seemed hopeless.

Thinking about Nuonuo’s pitiful look at departure, Brother Dabao’s heart twisted with pain.

The squad leader watched everyone painfully throw their phones, computers, and various entertainment items into the box as if cutting flesh, then checked each item before ordering them to tidy up their remaining luggage, change clothes within the designated time, and assemble on the field.

The entire afternoon, Brother Dabao and his classmates stood on the field, practicing the most basic formations and queues. The September sun was quite intense, and even Brother Dabao, who usually kept up with training, found it a bit overwhelming.

By around four o’clock, students who had been standing for hours in the lineup began to faint due to exhaustion, both male and female among them.

Finally enduring till training ended and disbandment, Yin Zhihao and Ren Weiqi showed up from somewhere, both faces sunburned red.

"Dabao, you look perfectly fine!" Yin Zhihao punched Brother Dabao’s shoulder enviously.
