Chapter 29: Cao Na's Reward

  With the help of this news, my private recruitment efforts have also yielded twice the results. There are several people who didn't promise me anything, but they've already agreed to join me.

  They think I have a strong background and am low-key, so following me will be no mistake.

  Since they think this way, I naturally won't say anything either. I'll just pretend to be a low-key person with a good attitude, occasionally learn from my brother, put on a show, and maintain a dignified appearance.

  However, I also met a few rational people like Shi Meng who didn't blindly worship or follow the trend. For such people, I can only lower my posture and recruit them in the same way as I did with Shi Meng.

  It had been a whole week, and I tried to go find Cao Na again. But when I got near the door of their classroom, my feet wouldn't move any further. I was afraid of interfering with Cao Na's decision.

  If Cao Na doesn't truly like me, then I should consider giving up. In a week, I believe Cao Na will have thought it through clearly, and the answer may already be obvious.

  I can change myself for Cao Na, study hard on one hand and realize my mixed dreams on the other, but I'd rather make sure if Cao Na truly loves me.

  If Cao Na really likes me, then I don't mind paying some price, taking all my free time to make up for my studies. It's just that I'm not sure anymore.

  Just as I was about to leave, Cao Na happened to walk out of her classroom, holding a stack of test papers in her hand. Cao Na is the English class representative of their class, and it seems she's going to the English teacher's office.

  "You're here, why didn't you come find me?" Cao Na walked over and asked me "Are you afraid?"

  "Uh-huh," he nodded.

  "Why not dare?"

  Lack of confidence

  "Why no confidence"

  "Because of you?" "Because of me?" Cao Na smiled with some playfulness.

  "Right, it's been a week and you haven't given me an answer. This has been the longest week I've ever had. This long week has made me gradually lose confidence in myself." I looked at Cao Na seriously. "Have you thought of your answer?" "Aren't you already clear about the answer in your heart?" Cao Na smiled as she looked at me. "The answer in your heart is the answer I will give you. What is the answer in your heart?"

  "If your answer is what I have in mind, then I'll tell you that I think for more than a month now, you've had feelings for me. I can sense your happiness and comfort around me, this pretending to be unaware." I stared at Cao Na and said.

  "Yes, I said it before, I like you. It's just that our views on love are different, so we need to have a good talk about it, or maybe take a step back and continue together. Or perhaps we'll go our separate ways and find our own happiness." Cao Na said calmly to me. "Tonight I have to help the teacher count scores, tomorrow is the weekend, let's discuss it thoroughly then."

  "Good," I nodded and said "We will be together."

  In my heart, I had already made up my mind to compromise and make concessions, because this week, every night I would think of Cao Na, and when I woke up in the morning, it was still the same.

  I have fallen in love with Cao Na, and there's no cure for it.

  The matter of summoning Ma has almost been settled. In the past few days, Liu Kai and Li Ming have been running for a long time every morning, constantly exercising their bodies. They were stimulated by Xu Long's gang and have been seeking revenge ever since they were abused last time.

  Although it seems like there are many people, and on the surface, everything is fine, in reality, there are countless loopholes. These people, although they verbally agree with me and call me "big brother", in actuality, it's unlikely that they truly submit to me wholeheartedly.

  This is a group of scattered soldiers. I want to use this flag-raising exercise to go through a process of selecting the best, and only those who remain in the end will be the ones who can follow me to conquer the world.

  I had an appointment with Cao Na at 9:00 am, and we agreed to meet at Dicos. At 9:00 am, there were not many people in Dicos, which was very suitable for our conversation.

  I was the first to speak up "I've already told you what I want from love, now it's your turn to share your views on love and let me listen, see if they make sense"

  "Okay," Cao Na nodded and said, "Actually, I'm a very realistic girl. It's just that my reality isn't about material things, but other things. I hope we're not just kids talking about love, but can be together for a long time, all the way to marriage. I know it's difficult, but I believe as long as we work hard together, there won't be any problems."

  "If you don't study hard and just want to be a hoodlum, we will definitely break up. I'm going to take the university entrance exam, what about you? Are you going to finish school and then become a social outcast? I can't accept that kind of you. I agree with your desire to fight, but I don't want you to get bullied. I think it's okay for men to fight as long as they don't use knives, just don't take it too far." Cao Na said to me "Because my brother often gets into fights at school, so I especially understand you"

  Even if you can't get into a key university, it's okay. We can take an exam in one place. If that doesn't work out, I can follow you to report for the volunteer work. As long as your grades aren't too bad and the school isn't too terrible, we've already had a relationship. I'm a conservative person, if you hold my hand, I won't feel anything, but if other men hold my hand, I'll feel very disgusted. Cao Na said to me, "Li Jie, think carefully, I really want to be with you, I don't hope that you can change too much, even just a little bit, and I will be satisfied."

  "Sorry, I might have said something wrong that day, and I regret it. Even if you're a working-class person and I'm a university student, it doesn't matter. It's just that I prefer us to be on the same starting line and strive together, rather than climbing in different circles." Cao Na said to me, "After all, there are too many temptations in society, and if you enter society before me, it's easy to become corrupted."

  "But I will have to stay in college for at least four years, four years, many things can happen, and it can also make two people who love each other become unrecognizable to each other."

  I didn't expect Cao Na to be someone with such a strong virgin complex, because she had a relationship with me, so other boys felt disgusted when they pulled her arm.

  I fell silent for a moment, then said "I promise you, I will try my best to get into a good university in the college entrance examination, and not let you down"

  "Are you really willing?" Cao Na looked at me with some delight.

  "Of course, I'm willing. You're willing to lower yourself for me, why can't I take out some time to study? Besides, you're right, a student's main task is to study. The reason I've been slacking off is just so I won't get bullied as much. Moreover, my parents spent money to send me to this school so that I can get into university and give them face. How could I bear to disappoint the parents who have raised me for over a decade?"

  "Great, do you still remember the reward I told you about?" Cao Na asked me with a very happy face after hearing my words.

  "You mean that reward if I can get into the top ten in the mid-term exam?" I asked Cao Na with some uncertainty.

  "Right"

  "You mean you're going to give it to me now?" I looked at Cao Na with some expectation and asked, "If so, then don't keep me in suspense, just tell me quickly."

  "Close your eyes," Cao Na ordered me.

  "Hehe, making such a mystery of it" At this time, I had already roughly guessed what Cao Na was going to do, but I just didn't bother to expose her.

  We can see through each other's words, but we're still good friends anyway.

  Not long after I closed my eyes, Cao Na must have struggled with her thoughts for a while, and she's really a simple girl. At the moment when Cao Na leaned in close, I suddenly opened my eyes, then pressed both hands against Cao Na's hair, and deeply kissed her all of a sudden.
