Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 841 - 839: You’re the Silliest Fool (First Update)
He never said exactly when he started having feelings for her. And she, in fact, didn’t know how long he had been waiting.
She didn’t understand what it was like to wait for someone to grow up slowly.
She still doesn’t understand now, but she tries to put herself in his shoes. If she deeply loves him now but cannot confess for some reason, the waiting must be very painful.
The more Nuonuo thought about it, the more her heart ached. She couldn’t help but want to reach out and touch his face.
Afraid of waking him, she lightly pressed her palm against his face.
His skin was good, pores fine and elastic. If Tiantian hadn’t been around him, knowing he was someone who lived simply, one might think this man meticulously and fussily took care of his skin to keep it like this.
I’m sorry..., Nuonuo silently said in her heart.
Sorry for making you wait so long!
Sorry for making you suffer!
I’m sorry...
Nuonuo’s hand moved from his straight nose to his smooth eyebrows, looking at his handsome face, she felt an unspeakable sadness.
She grew up, naturally understanding the taste of sadness.
But this time, the sadness was different from any previous time.
She felt wronged, felt aggrieved.
But this grievance and suffocation were not for herself, but for him!
Because of this, she even started to hate her past clueless, happily slow-growing self. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
How could she have been so oblivious when she was young?
How could she blindly enjoy his affection and indulgence that went beyond brotherly love, yet not notice his inner feelings and pain and never respond to him?
If her younger self had been a bit more sensitive and smarter, understood his heart, and seen her own heart earlier, even if she just said to him, "Brother, wait for me to grow up!" then he wouldn’t have had to endure so much pain.
With a chest full of complex emotions, Nuonuo was so upset that she bent down and gently lay on his warm body, burying her face in his neck, and murmured, "Brother, you always say I’m a fool, but, actually, you’re the biggest fool!"
The man pretending to sleep on the bed heard her emotional murmur by his ear, and his heart, like snow on barren branches in winter, trembled a few times and then fell.
Da Bao’s heart turned into a puddle, and he put one hand on her lower back while gently lifting her face with the other, giving her a light peck on the lips.
"You’re the fool! I’m the most amazing genius!"
Surprise flashed in Nuonuo’s eyes at first, quickly understanding he hadn’t been asleep at all, just pretending.
Yet, she wasn’t in the mood to care about his little trick.
"Brother, you’re wrong! Because I’m a fool, but you fell in love with me, doesn’t that make you the biggest fool?"
Da Bao pressed his forehead against hers, subtly smiling, looking at her with interest.
"Oh? Then let me put it this way, if I’m a smart person, then you’re even smarter. Because you chose me, fell in love with me, so you’re smarter, is that right?"
Nuonuo felt there was some truth in what he said!
"So, foolish as I am, I am destined to toil and run around. Smart as you are, you are destined to save me, the one toiling and running around!"
Da Bao tapped her, who was still thinking deeply, on the forehead, "Thank you, Si Han, for the enchanting melody you played, it was beautiful, and it took away all my fatigue!"
Nuonuo was a bit dizzy from Da Bao’s words, though she didn’t quite grasp his last two sentences, her once gloomy mood unknowingly improved.
Until she lay in bed, savoring her brother’s actions tonight in the dark, pondering over his last words, she gradually understood.
Apparently, her brother’s actions tonight were indeed planned.
Choosing her preferred major made her feel guilty, though she hadn’t mentioned it to anyone, her brother seemed to have sensed it, specially comforting her in this way tonight.
So, she was right, indeed, he is the biggest fool!
...
Da Bao’s painstaking efforts indeed helped Nuonuo relieve a lot of feelings.
Of course, she did not truly consider herself the one to save her brother, but since he had worked so hard to plan such an act to alleviate her worries, she naturally couldn’t let his efforts go in vain, nor could she let him worry again.
Figuring it out, Nuonuo no longer worried or felt insecure, instead, she turned guilt into motivation and became more actively involved in her school life.
Shortly after the semester began, R University’s Mid-Autumn Festival celebration entered the intense preparation stage.
As a key member of the department’s art team, Si Han not only had ensemble pieces with the newly formed orchestra but also her own solo performance.
After she submitted her program, Teacher Fan privately informed her that he would perform a duet with her.
Due to these preparations, Nuonuo often stayed late at school for practice. Da Bao, still responsible for picking her up and dropping her off daily, mostly worked overtime until the scheduled time to pick her up.
But today, he deliberately arrived earlier, sitting in the audience with his laptop, busy with work as Nuonuo rehearsed on stage.
Nuonuo, with her back to him, didn’t see his arrival until a piece was over, and a girl next to her nudged her and motioned with her chin.
"Si Han, that handsome guy who picks you up every day is here again."
Nuonuo wasn’t very familiar with her music ensemble mates yet, so they only knew a handsome guy picked her up every day, unaware that he was her brother, most presumed he was her boyfriend.
Of course, this assumption wasn’t entirely a misunderstanding, but to Nuonuo, Da Bao was her brother first, and then her boyfriend.
Moreover, from the moment she bravely confessed to Da Bao, she never considered the day they would be apart.
So in her heart, Da Bao was a fusion of brother and boyfriend, inseparable.
Nuonuo was first surprised, turning around to look in disbelief. Only when she saw the familiar figure did she thank her group mate and walk down the stage steps to the audience.
Da Bao, who had been quietly busy with his work after sitting down, sensed her familiar presence approaching. He lifted his head and met her dark eyes.
"Continue your rehearsal, don’t mind me!"
Da Bao waved her away, signaling her to go back swiftly, "Go back, don’t keep others waiting!"
Nuonuo, a freshman, had just been selected as the orchestra’s concertmaster. It was easy for people to gossip about her, and Da Bao didn’t want her to be the subject of idle talk, so he motioned for her to quickly return to the team.
