Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 847 - 849: Cao Na Scared to Tears

Cao Na doesn’t understand why Zhao Guangran mysteriously insists she go to his place right now.

Whenever Cao Na thinks about Gong Ruini, who is still in a daze, she doesn’t want to go.

It’s not due to a lack of friendship, but seeing lively Ni Zi lying there listlessly is begrudgingly hard to accept.

Even though Zhan Jing and Zhuge Zhi guaranteed that Ni Zi will wake up, how long will that take? People in comas for a long time don’t wake up easily.

Cao Na really can’t cope with the sadness every time she sees Ni Zi.

"You don’t want to go?" Zhao Guangran is puzzled.

Cao Na wants to say she’s busy at home, but Zhao Guangran knows the real score, so it’s better to admit the truth, "I really don’t want to see Ni Zi lying there."

"Don’t worry, you’ll see a big surprise when you get there." Zhao Guangran wanted to say more, but seeing her in person would be an even greater surprise.

A big surprise? In this day and age, what constitutes a big surprise? Business success is not a surprise.

But seeing Zhao Guangran so excited? Fine, it’s rare for him to be happy since Ni Zi fell into a coma, none of us have been feeling well.

And so, consoled by Zhao Guangran’s attitude, Cao Na enters Gong Ruini’s yard.

As they get closer to Ni Zi’s place, Cao Na thinks of a possible explanation: could Ni Zi have woken up? Otherwise, why use the term big surprise?

"Guangran, has Ni Zi woken up?" Cao Na speaks with excitement.

He knew it; just by bringing her here, she would guess. Zhao Guangran didn’t want a high-stakes challenge but couldn’t resist Ni Zi’s daily comfort in her yard.

"You’ll find out when you get there." Zhao Guangran can only remain vague.

Really? Think so hard you can’t tell? As soon as Cao Na pictures seeing Ni Zi, her mood turns intensely excited.

"Ah, Guangran, you’re too much, why didn’t you tell me sooner?" Though dressed to go out, the look is neither sharp nor new.

Today’s Ni Zi’s day, how could she not wear something upbeat?

Cao Na wishes that Gong Ruini could see her first thing.

"What happened?" Previously cheerful Cao Na suddenly confronts him with anger. What’s the situation?

"What happened? If you’d told me sooner, I’d have dressed beautifully." If it weren’t for wanting to see Gong Ruini, Cao Na would’ve gone home to change.

Dressing beautifully for Ni Zi made Zhao Guangran want to cry. Why didn’t she dress stylishly whenever he came over? How unfair!

Zhao Guangran shows he’s upset, leaving the question unanswered.

It’s just a little meanness; now suddenly shy? Who is Cao Na to be put off by him? She barrels into Gong Ruini’s yard with increased speed.

Seeing a familiar figure seated there—isn’t she thinner than before, a lot thinner?

Wait a minute. Ni Zi just woke up. How is she sitting here reading?

Isn’t Zhao Xuran supposed to be by her side? Why isn’t he here now?

Even if Ni Zi wakes up, if Zhao Xuran isn’t here, they would notify him to return, and why aren’t Aunt Zhan and Grandpa Ge present?

They were all anxious about Ni Zi, not believing Zhao Guangran could notify them while leaving them uninformed.

Unless there’s only one possibility: Ni Zi has been awake for several days.

This makes Cao Na fuming mad: "And you call us good friends."

"Look, what kind of good friend are you?"

"You say Ni Zi has been awake for a while; why wasn’t I informed?"

Cao Na isn’t clueless—she wasn’t informed because they feared she’d spill the news.

Please, is she a gossip? Cao Na furiously resents Zhao Guangran for tarnishing her; it’s excessively unfair, pointing at Zhao Guangran variously.

For Cao Na’s verbal and physical rebuke, Zhao Guangran doesn’t avoid; he remains in place for her actions.

Gong Ruini watches Zhao Guangran grinning like a fool, sighing thankfully that Cao Na doesn’t have mischievous thoughts, or else Zhao Guangran’s naivety suggests he’d easily be duped.

"I suggest you cut the flirting—they’re children watching." Although Zhao Guangran never mentioned anything about him and Cao Na.

Any person can sense it, and while Zhao Guangran appears somewhat unstable, he never jokes with girls except freely with Cao Na.

Zhao Guangran is quite good-looking; while Gong Ruini never asked about gossip, she knows Zhao Guangran’s reputation is strong at school, allegedly the most popular freshman.

Others see Zhao Guangran’s merit; can Cao Na really miss it?

As for why Cao Na remains indifferent, aside from a girl’s unique shyness, she worries about Gong Ruini.

Since her childhood, Cao Na frequented this place, overhearing chats about Zhao Gang’s couple’s ideas.

Despite their progress echoed, unless Zhao Guangran said something to Cao Na, Zhao Xuran’s conduct during Ni Zi’s coma also mattered.

How did Ni Zi find out? Cao Na looks at Zhao Guangran, hinting he told?

Zhao Guangran shakes his head, "Ni Zi only woke up a few days ago; I haven’t had the chance to tell her."

Apart from not telling, he’s embarrassed to, fearing Gong Ruini would mock him, unaware Cao Na’s arrival revealed a problem.

"It’s all your excessive display." Zhao Guangran reflects on Cao Na’s unusual behavior; how wouldn’t Gong Ruini detect it?

Knowing Ni Zi’s sharp perception, nobody can deceive her.

Sure, is it? Cao Na won’t own up to mistakes: "It’s your fault, totally your fault."

"Sure, it’s all my fault." Zhao Guangran accepts the blame lightly.

A good man should comfort girls; as long as she’s happy, everything else falls into place.

Gong Ruini rolls her eyes, "How long will this flirting last? Get back to work."

Hmph, she intended to avoid pressuring Cao Na, but the girlfriend becoming family changes things—Gong Ruini intends to train them well.

"Do I have to work this hard?" Cao Na’s grades aren’t bad, ranking top thirty in class, and in the grade top forty. It’s not lack of ambition but too many geniuses in class amplify the pressure.

Setting goals too high just self-sabotages.

Cao Na feels content with her grades, but since Gong Ruini’s wake-up call, it almost brings her to tears.
