An'an hugged Yu Jiu and acted coquettishly.
"No, we agreed on 300th place, so it's 300th place. We can't change it anymore. Anyway, he's only 30 or 40 places away. Tell him to keep working hard and try to get into the top 200 in the next monthly exam. Then you two can stay together."
Keep it up! He's made great progress and looks like a good student. If he continues on this momentum, Mom won't object to your relationship anymore.
"But things won't be easy for you two from your dad's side. If you can't achieve the goals we set for you, he might break you up at any time."
Yu Jiu said with a smile.
At least the boy showed some interest and was willing to learn, so he seemed like a promising prospect. To avoid upsetting An'an, she wouldn't strongly object anymore, but she still had to do what needed to be done and couldn't let her guard down.
Okay.
Her father is indeed a difficult person to get past. Even if her mother agrees, it won't matter; her father will still object.
Therefore, we can only let Xie Chuan continue to work hard.
Xie Chuan felt extremely desperate when he learned that he could not be given special treatment and that he would have to improve further in the next monthly exam, aiming to rank within the top 200.
·····
What should I do if I want to break up again?
"If you dare mention breaking up again, I'll have my dad come over and break your legs right now!"
An'an said the harsh words with a smile, her sweet and pretty face wearing a forced smile.
·····
I'm on a pirate ship.
Xie Chuan hugged An An in frustration.
"How could I dare to break up? I don't want to break up either, but I feel that this ranking is my limit. 200th place is a big watershed, and I don't think I can get that ranking."
"If I work harder this month, I think getting into the top 300 in the next monthly exam shouldn't be a problem, but getting into the top 200 is really too difficult for me."
"How could that be? You said the same thing last time, that it was too difficult to get into the top 300, but now you're confident that you can get into the top 300, right? I believe you can break your limits again next time."
Human limits are raised through repeated progress and breakthroughs.
An An gently patted Xie Chuan's head, soothing him tenderly.
······
That makes perfect sense; Xie Chuan couldn't refute it.
"But····"
But getting into the top 200 is really difficult. You have to understand that there are so many talented people in the school. To get into the top 200, you have to fight tooth and nail to make the list. The school's honor roll only lists the top 200.
"No buts. Work hard so we can be together openly in the future. But even though you haven't regained your title as my boyfriend yet, my mom and I have applied for a special reward for you. Do you want it?"
An An let go of Xie Chuan and winked at him playfully.
"What special reward? I'm not short of money, and I've never lacked those gifts."
Xie Chuan was uninterested. He felt that An An was going to give him a gift, but he didn't believe that there could be any gift that could touch his heartstrings and make him interested in learning again.
His parents have given him all sorts of designer brands, watches, and cars. The reason he likes riding motorcycles is simply because he thinks they're cool, and they're imported, unlike the ordinary motorcycles on the market. His is a brand-name motorcycle.
A modified motorcycle costs hundreds of thousands of yuan, but he can't ride it now because he's looking for a girlfriend, and it's just sitting at home collecting dust. Now he wants to ride his beloved motorcycle again and have some fun.
"Who said I was going to give you these gifts? You're so shallow. Close your eyes."
An An gestured for him to close his eyes.
Xie Chuan, not understanding why, closed his eyes anyway.
An'an confirmed that he had closed his eyes before tiptoeing and quickly kissing his thin lips. The kiss was fleeting, like a dragonfly skimming the water, and Xie Chuan didn't even know what it was.
At first, he thought An'an had touched his lips with a gift, but then he realized that the soft touch was not right and opened his eyes in shock.
"you····"
An An pretended to be calm, but her cheeks were actually burning red.
"I didn't kiss you!"
She made a blatant attempt to cover it up, saying that this was their first intimate encounter, and before their parents were called in, they had only held hands.
This was incredibly damaging to a pure-hearted high school boy. Xie Chuan's ears turned red, but he still held An An's hand and persisted.
"No! I didn't see anything, so it doesn't count. Besides, you kissed me too fast; I didn't feel anything. We have to do it again!"
"You think it's a 'win a prize' situation, like opening the cap and getting another bottle? I said there's only one reward. Whether you get a second reward depends on yourself."
"But I didn't feel anything, so that doesn't count!"
"An'an".
"An'an~~~"
"Baby~~~"
"Go back to your class! You'll get caught by the teacher again. Just go, don't bother me, calling me won't help!"
An'an covered her ears and ran away, but was harassed by Xie Chuan's ear-piercing chants for the next few days. However, she resolutely refused to give in; one hug and one kiss were enough.
If he doesn't rank within the top 200 next time, he'll have nothing.
Xie Chuan thought he would lose motivation if he couldn't get the title of boyfriend, but it turned out that the honey trap really worked. An An kissed him, which made him energetic again and interested in studying.
He bought a bunch of documents and put them on the table. He vowed that next time he would take the initiative to kiss An'an and kiss her hard!
So he studied even harder, hanging his head from the rafters and pricking his thigh with an awl.
Xu Zijiang was unaware that Yu Jiu had allowed An'an to give Xie Chuan a special reward, but seeing that An'an was in a great mood these days and not distressed by Xie Chuan's poor grades and inability to resume their relationship, he was a little curious and couldn't help but ask Yu Jiu.
Why is An'an so happy lately?
"Isn't it good to be happy? Do you want your daughter to be unhappy, to have a long face every day?"
Yu Jiu pretended to be stupid and turned the tables on him.
"That's not what I meant. I just feel that they can't restore their relationship right now, shouldn't they be feeling discouraged?"
Xu Zijiang was puzzled. He thought this would dampen the enthusiasm of the two of them, and that Xie Chuan would give up studying. He was sure he wouldn't be able to get into the top 200 in the next monthly exam, and then he would lose confidence and break up with An An, and the two would stop entangled.
You go your sunny path, I'll cross my narrow bridge. An'an will focus on her studies and get into a good university, while they continue their happy lives.
"Maybe it's because the difference isn't that big. The difference between 300th and 300th place is just a little bit. They probably feel that if they work hard for another month, they can get into the top 200. Hope is right in front of them, so they definitely want to work harder."
