"Your brother might be busy, but he's not so busy that he doesn't have a moment to take a phone call!" Ji Rui reassured Nuonuo from the perspective of someone who has been there.
But ultimately, Nuonuo still didn't make the call.
It's not that she doesn't miss her brother, but she's vaguely aware that both she and her brother are growing up day by day.
Each of them is starting to have their own space and life. She is a student now and has endless homework, and her brother, now a company manager, naturally has work he can't catch up with. It's impossible for them to stick together day and night like before.
Nuonuo didn't share these thoughts with her family, but she quietly asked her deskmate with whom she got along well, "Ye Zi, are you close with your brother?"
Her deskmate Ye Zi has a brother four years older.
