Chapter 164 Lemon Smith
Emma Campbell stretched her head out of the bedcovers, facing James Brown’s gaze with a kind of resolute shine on her face, and said, "Big Brother Brown, I know what I’m doing. I admit I’m motivated by gratitude, but I’m not foolish. If Big Brother Brown weren’t worth my affection, even in the name of gratitude, I wouldn’t choose this method. Being with Big Brother Brown, I can feel that he’s truly a good person, truly someone worth following for a lifetime."
James Brown looked at Emma Campbell’s angelic face and gently caressed it twice before saying, "Lemon, can we take some time then? Don’t rush. Let me tell you a story first."
Emma Campbell knew that James Brown must be about to talk about his past and immediately nodded vigorously.
James Brown’s gaze shifted toward the window, then he said in a deep voice, "When I was a child, I was very naughty and barely made it into the second high school in YODC City. Since I barely got in, I was also one of the last in my class. This made me even less interested in studying. Not only the teachers, but even my parents had given up hope on me. However, there was a girl in my class, she was the class president and a very good student. Yet, she always tried hard to help me. Back then, I found it annoying. Whenever she tried to manage me, I always resisted and even clashed with her."
He turned his gaze back to Emma Campbell and continued, "But this girl was fiery and persistent. She insisted on pulling my grades up. We fought like this for two years, and my grades improved. Our relationship also grew stronger. At that time, puppy love was strictly prohibited at school, so we didn’t dare let anyone find out. Later on, we got caught by her parents after we ’crossed the line’, and I was beaten up before she transferred schools."
"What happened later?" Emma Campbell asked anxiously, watching James Brown.
"After graduating high school, I enlisted in the military. Seven years passed with no contact at all, until a class reunion a short while ago, where we met again."
"Ah? Did she get married?" Emma Campbell’s body slightly trembled.
James Brown hugged Emma Campbell a bit tighter and said, "No, she was still thinking of me. All these years, I hadn’t been involved in a relationship because of her. We were both very emotional when we met again and wanted to rekindle our old romance."
