Crossing the Gods as Slaves

Ning Hua gave up, thinking that the commander was probably busy with something. He pulled the quilt over him and gradually fell asleep.

In the early hours of the morning, the communicator started singing happily. Ning Hua felt confused. He fumbled on the wall and turned on the wall lamp.

The screen of the communicator was on, and it showed "The commander requests a video call with you, do you want to connect?" Ning Hua clicked it, and Lu Xiu's figure was projected opposite Ning Hua's bed.

The moment he saw Ning Hua, a voice rang in Lu Xiu's heart: "No wonder I had that dream last time. She was always in bed during every video call. It's no wonder I had those random thoughts."

Lu Xiu cleared his throat and recalled his thoughts: "I saw you called me twice. I was worried that you had something urgent, so I called you now. Do you mind?"

Ning Hua's voice was still hoarse because he had suddenly woken up from a deep sleep.

Seeing Lu Xiu sitting at his desk in a military uniform with his hair neatly combed, I thought he must have been busy with official business.

"Of course not. Isn't the war over? You seem very busy."

Lu Xiu had a faint smile on his face: "The battle is over, but there is still a lot of follow-up cleanup work. After finishing these, we can go back to Leeds."

Ning Hua nodded in understanding: "Being a commander is really hard."

Lu Xiu just looked at Ning Hua and smiled without saying anything. A quiet atmosphere flowed in this small bedroom.

"By the way, I received a remittance of 2 million. Is it from you? The last 200,000 was already a lot. I can't accept this 2 million."

Lu Xiu was stunned: "I didn't transfer money to you again." He hesitated for a moment and said: "I will ask Gene to check who transferred the money to you. It's possible that someone made a mistake in the account number."

"That should be the case." This man is too careless, Ning Hua shook his head and sighed.

Lu Xiu asked her again: "How are you doing recently? It's almost the end of the year, it's time for a holiday."

"Yes, the final exams are next week. After the exams, there will be a two-month vacation."

Lu Xiu nodded: "The news that Dana brought me last time is true. He is also a meritorious person this time. I will hold a celebration banquet after returning to Leeds. If Dana takes you with him, you can follow him."

Yes, Dana said last time that he would send me there. Ning Hua carefully asked the commander: "Will it cause you trouble? I'm so sorry, it's all my fault." Ning Hua was ashamed when he thought about how his words had brought endless trouble to the commander.

"No, you don't have to blame yourself. If you feel guilty, just don't refuse when you are needed next time."

"How could that be? If you need help, I will definitely not refuse." Ning Hua felt a lot more relieved after hearing Lu Xiu say this.

Lu Xiu lowered his eyes and smiled.

The final exams lasted for three consecutive days and were finally over. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what the results were, the pressure was relieved.

The day after the exam, Dana called Ning Hua and asked her to go to the cafe for a drink. Ning Hua agreed because apart from his fickle temper, Dana was really nice to her.

When Ning Hua entered the coffee shop, Dana had already arrived. He was wearing a bright red shirt, leaning against the sofa, looking up at the ceiling. Ning Hua walked over and sat down opposite him: "Mr. Duke, have you been here for a long time?"

Dana didn't answer, but just asked her: "Ning Hua, do you think we can be friends?"

"Of course, if you're not pursuing me."

"I'm really curious, if, I mean if, there was no commander, would you accept my pursuit?" Dana said seriously.

"No." Ning Hua shook his head.

"It's really sad that the answer is so straightforward." Dana showed a sad face.

The sadness on Dana's face suddenly brought back Ning Hua's memories of the past ten thousand years. What did he say when he confessed to Zi Jiang? He couldn't remember clearly, but he rejected it very straightforwardly.

Although Ning Hua can only remember a vague face of Zi Jiang now, the feeling of being rejected at that time is still clear in his mind.

For a moment, Ning Hua felt a little sympathetic towards Dana, even though she knew that the other party might just like her a little, or be a little unwilling. But Ning Hua decided to be nicer to Dana, thinking of herself.

"I would be very happy if the Duke would be my friend. To be honest, I have almost no friends here."

"Okay, let's be friends," Dana pretended to be relaxed. "If we're friends, then don't call me Mr. Duke. What do you think, Ning Hua?"

Ning Hua laughed: "Of course I should call you by your name, Dana."

The sweet smile made Dina feel a little pain in his heart. He took out a velvet box from his pocket. It was the one he threw away when he found out that she was the commander's woman in the zoo last time.

"For you, Ning Hua."

Ning Hua took the box and opened it. It was a pair of blue diamond earrings. Ning Hua hesitated, not knowing whether to accept it.

Dana saw her hesitation and pushed her: "I called the principal of the First Public School yesterday. Your test paper was given priority for grading. The result is very good. You will definitely be in the top three in the grade. This is a gift for celebration."

"Really? I did well on the test? How many points?"

Dana smiled and said, "I can tell you, but I want to have the first dance with you at the celebration party."

"Uh, is it ballroom dancing? I've seen other people do it on TV, but I can't do it. I heard that the school will arrange for teaching after entering junior high school."

Dana smiled gently: "Don't worry, I will teach you."

Ning Hua nodded generously to show her agreement. Dana took out the earrings from the box and put them on her gently.

"It looks very beautiful." After putting on the earrings, Dana looked at Ning Hua and gave sincere praise.

The communicator suddenly rang. Dana took it out and saw that it was Gene. His smiling face turned cold.
