Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 722 - 720: Will Never Dislike You (Second Update)
Of course, that’s one of the reasons. The main reason is that today, someone from the musical instrument club came over, saw Si Jun’s violin, and excitedly said it was made by a master, worth at least hundreds of thousands!
Nuonuo felt a bit disappointed hearing that, yet she felt happy for Si Jun.
After all, he finally has a violin of his own.
If it weren’t for that performance trip to the orphanage, and if she hadn’t chatted with Si Jun, Nuonuo wouldn’t have known that there are so many children for whom even basic education is a luxury.
It was Si Jun and those kids from the orphanage who made Nuonuo realize that what she always took for granted is so out of reach for others.
And everything she now enjoys as a matter of course was all thanks to the hard work of Daddy, Mommy, and Brother.
So, she really shouldn’t be as willful as she was when she was little, doing everything based on her mood, always wanting to cuddle and charm Brother whenever she had nothing else to do, while Brother was busy with school and work.
Unlike her, who just focuses on studying, no matter how hard she works, her grades always hover around the upper middle.
After hanging up the phone, Nuonuo leaned against the bed thinking, but Si Jun’s matter didn’t stay in her mind for long. As she thought, she began to think about her brother.
Thinking about how she, being clumsy, not only couldn’t help Brother at all but also occasionally brought him small troubles, Nuonuo began to feel displeased with herself.
"Where’s Brother?" Nuonuo walked out of the living room, thinking she should see if Brother needed a cup of tea or something. With her brain, she could only think of such trivial things to please Brother, but in the living room, only Little Treasure was there playing games.
"In the room!" Little Treasure gestured towards Da Bao’s room, his eyes never leaving the screen.
The years of intimacy made Nuonuo not think much of it. She said, "Brother, I’m coming in," and turned the doorknob. Inside, only a dim nightlight was on.
Nuonuo was a bit surprised; she thought Brother would be reading. But seeing this quiet atmosphere, perhaps he was asleep?
Just as Nuonuo hesitated whether she should leave, she saw a figure sitting up on the bed.
"Nuonuo? Come in!" The person’s voice was clear and didn’t sound like someone who had been sleeping.
"Brother, were you asleep? Then I’ll..."
"I wasn’t sleeping, come in!" Da Bao interrupted her, and then the glaring overhead light turned on.
Nuonuo stuck her tongue out, looking at her brother sitting on the bed. Even though he was in pajamas, his demeanor was wide awake, which reassured her. She closed the door, trotted over, kicked off her slippers, and scrambled onto the bed.
Even though she kept telling herself not to cling too much to Brother and not to bother him with trivial matters.
But obviously, habit is a terrifying thing. The habit of years of closeness with Brother isn’t something a couple of resolutions or admonitions could easily change.
"Brother!"
The little girl, as soon as she climbed onto the bed, instinctively burrowed into Da Bao’s embrace.
Da Bao, as usual, opened his arms, moved his legs slightly to let her come close, then very naturally drew her into his arms.
"What’s up? Weren’t you going to sleep?"
Da Bao rubbed his chin against the little girl’s hair, took a deep breath, and the emotion he had been suppressing all night immediately resurfaced.
"I didn’t sleep, I just went to make a call."
Nuonuo, being still too innocent and always defenseless to her brother, blurted the truth in a hurry when he asked, only later remembering how much Brother disliked Si Jun.
Sure enough, Da Bao’s grip tightened slightly.
"Hmm? This late at night, who were you calling? A classmate?"
Da Bao was 100% sure Nuonuo called Si Jun, but he deliberately asked if it was a classmate to test whether this little girl really considered Si Jun as someone special.
Nuonuo hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and felt she shouldn’t hide from Brother, even though Brother didn’t like Si Jun, she couldn’t lie to Brother.
"No, I called Si Jun."
Nuonuo initially wanted to say the Si Jun from the orphanage, but on second thought, she realized that Brother had a good memory, and since they had quarrelled over this person, there was no way he would forget.
Da Bao, though unhappy with this answer, simultaneously let out a small sigh of relief.
After saying that, Nuonuo cautiously looked up from Da Bao’s embrace, worried he might explode like the previous night.
Da Bao lowered his eyes to meet her anxious look, "Why were you calling him?"
Da Bao’s tone was very bland, and Nuonuo couldn’t discern his emotions from his face.
"I just wanted to ask if he received the violin yet. But he said today someone donated a lot of money and some instruments to the orphanage, and he plans to return the violin to me tomorrow."
Nuonuo’s single-minded head clearly didn’t associate the good-hearted idol the orphanage kids mentioned with her brother, even though she heard her brother say he would donate a sum of money to the orphanage, and she and Little Treasure also donated their endorsement earnings.
"Oh... that’s not bad, right?"
Seeing that Nuonuo didn’t hide anything from him, Da Bao’s mood improved a lot.
It seems that Si Jun really had some pride in himself.
"Yeah, I think it’s great too. He also said that someone found some teachers for the orphanage, and starting tomorrow, he will have a teacher to teach him how to play the violin."
Nuonuo continually reminded herself not to bother Brother with her little matters, but once she started talking, she couldn’t stop, completely forgetting her own silly reminders.
Seeing Nuonuo chattering incessantly, Da Bao felt a bit uneasy again. The little girl had just started getting close to him again, and he certainly didn’t want the topic between them to revolve around a boy he didn’t like.
"Let’s not talk about him, let’s talk about you. Is the sixth-grade coursework a bit tough? Do you need a tutor?"
Nuonuo looked at him strangely, "With Brother and Little Treasure here, why would I need a tutor?"
Da Bao wasn’t really suggesting she get a tutor; he just casually said it to steer the conversation away from Si Jun.
"I was just asking, but maybe tutors could be more professional than Little Treasure and me." Da Bao casually found an excuse.
Nuonuo stared at him silently for a while, then dully said, "Brother, do you think I’m too dumb, so you don’t want to teach me anymore?"
Da Bao cupped her face and gave it a good rub. "Silly girl, where are you dumb? Even if you were dumb, Brother would never dislike you!"
Nuonuo, who was actually easy to please, felt content and nestled in his arms with a big smile after hearing Da Bao’s words.
