Chapter 840: Chapter 838: He Must Have Endured Quite a Bit (Second Update)

After the military training, Nuonuo rested well at home for two days, and then formally began her university journey.

Previously, when choosing her major, Nuonuo initially considered whether to choose a field similar to Da Bao and Little Treasure. Although she knew she wasn’t cut out for business, she aspired to be like her mom, always advancing and retreating together with her dad, having the capability to move forward together with her brother whether in family or career.

However, once she raised her idea, it was unanimously opposed by the other four members of the Ji Family.

"I already have two sons reeking of business savvy; can’t I have a daughter with a touch of elegance and artistry?"

Le Tong said this, not to force Nuonuo to choose according to her wishes, but because, like Da Bao, she understood that Nuonuo wasn’t unintelligent, but her intelligence was different from the rest of the Ji Family.

Judging by Nuonuo’s performance during the two-month work-study, she could absolutely handle being an assistant or in a miscellaneous role. But if she had to face scheming faces full of ulterior motives every day like Da Bao and Little Treasure, her personality definitely couldn’t adapt, nor could she ever do well.

In Le Tong’s view, Nuonuo should gracefully stand on stage and elegantly play the violin. If she was outstanding enough, she could become an artist who doesn’t chase after fame and fortune. If she was ordinary, she could sit in an art classroom teaching kids how to play, which is also perfectly suited to her gentle and unhurried nature.

Nuonuo hadn’t fully digested Le Tong’s words when Da Bao, who understood her thoughts inside out, spoke next.

"Just choose what you like and are good at. As for business stuff, there are four of us at home; whichever one you choose to teach you wouldn’t be any worse than the professors at school."

These words from Da Bao, retreating first to advance later, made Nuonuo very tempted, and her firm stance began to waver.

Little Treasure, seeing her swayed by her mom and brother, came over and hugged her, resting his head on her shoulder and said in a playful tone, "I think a sister who plays the violin is the most ethereal and beautiful..."

Little Treasure, this guy, looked much taller than Nuonuo, appearing as an impressive young man. Yet, when he acted spoilt at the Ji Family, no one could compete, because he was the youngest and it was second nature for him to act spoilt towards anyone, wasn’t it?

Moreover, the person most immune to and most easily giving in to his act of petulance was Nuonuo, his sister.

Nuonuo looked at this one and that, and finally, her gaze fell on Ji Rui, who hadn’t expressed any opinion.

Meeting her inquiring gaze, Ji Rui pointed at Le Tong and glanced at Da Bao and Little Treasure. "I think the same as your mom and Da Bao, Little Treasure. Of course, the final choice still has to be what your heart wants. I just want to tell you, in our family, you don’t have to betray your inner thoughts for the sake of responsibility."

This was expressed in different ways, and Ji Rui had said it to his children many times.

The two sons chose to return to the Ji Family Corporation, and he and Le Tong did not stop them because they all knew that the sons genuinely liked this kind of challenging and exciting lifestyle. However, if Nuonuo chose to return to the Ji Family Corporation, it was obviously out of responsibility, not because of her passion.

Eventually, after pondering for a night, Nuonuo decided to listen to her family’s advice and chose to enroll in R University’s Music College.

Teacher Fan, upon knowing Nuonuo’s choice, bought a gift for her. On the first day of her major course, to her surprise, the teacher on the podium was Teacher Fan.

Nuonuo, in the end, chose a major she liked, feeling a mix of joy and concern. The joy was being able to live according to her own wishes, the concern was probably not being able to help with the Ji Family Corporation’s matters.

Da Bao seemed to have picked up something from her daily words. That night, after dinner and showering, he slipped into her bedroom, asking her to play one or two soothing tunes.

Nuonuo was quite surprised, "Brother, how did you suddenly start liking music?"

Da Bao lay on the bed, head resting on his arm.

"Although I am not a refined person, I also like to listen to beautiful music because music knows no age, country, or gender."

Nuonuo didn’t ask further questions and turned into the walk-in closet, which was divided in half, one side specifically for her treasured violins.

"What piece would you like to hear?" Although Nuonuo was wearing her pajamas, as soon as she brought out the violin and placed it on her shoulder, lifting the bow, she instantly became elegant.

"I’m really tired. Do you have something that can help relax the nerves and ease fatigue?"

In terms of music, Da Bao indeed didn’t know much. If it weren’t for seeing Nuonuo play the violin for so many years, he wouldn’t even know that violins are selected based on age and height differences.

Nuonuo lifted the bow, slightly raising her chin, looking down at him like a proud princess, "Dream Scenery, is that okay?"

Nuonuo’s gaze was very gentle, and Da Bao almost lost himself in her earnest look, then nodded after a moment, "Anything is fine, I don’t know the pieces anyway, as long as it sounds good."

The beautiful melody, like a feather brushing the heart, began to play slowly. Da Bao closed his eyes slightly, recalling a day when he drove with Nuonuo to the mountains, the two nestled together watching the sunset at the peak, as if the world was left with only him and Nuonuo...

As the last note of the piece drifted away, Da Bao didn’t rush to open his eyes, instead savoring the lingering melodious music and the romantic intertwining images between him and her.

Nuonuo also paused for a moment, withdrawing her emotions from the atmosphere of the music, and looked at the person lying on the bed motionlessly with closed eyes. Could it be that he had fallen asleep listening?

Nuonuo felt a slight pang in her heart, but after putting down the violin and gently lying on the bed, seeing Da Bao lying completely relaxed, she thought to herself that the piece she played, as a lullaby, seemed pretty good.

Nuonuo leaned closer to his face, seeing him still lying perfectly still, confirming that he was asleep. Her infatuated eyes swept over his handsome features a few times. Pressing her lips together and hesitating for a moment, she couldn’t resist, leaning over to lightly kiss his lips.

After the light kiss, she slightly moved away to observe any changes in his expression and, seeing no response, became even bolder.

Lowering her head, she gently nibbled on the corner of his lips, like a child finding an amusing toy, lightly biting and sucking...

These actions were usually what Da Bao openly or secretly did to her.

Back when she was younger, she couldn’t help but get shy. Even if she didn’t resist, it was rare for her to take the initiative.

Or rather, she had never taken the initiative before.

Now she was eighteen, slowly understanding many things she didn’t know before.

Occasionally, she even felt sympathetic towards her brother. They had been lovers for over three years, and to her, the most he did was kiss and hug. He never crossed the line further, never even tried.

These years, he must have endured quite a bit, right?
