54: The so-called contrast

The so-called contrast refers to the significant differences or comparisons that a person displays in different aspects or situations.

On TikTok, some girls start off wearing glasses and school uniforms, looking cute, but as the music style changes, they transform into mature women wearing hip-hugging skirts. The captions even say: [I'm full of contrast.]

This is just a contrast in dressing.

In Cao Lang's view, this was weak.

True contrast is the vast difference between a person's personality and their appearance.

Just like Li Na at this moment, she lacked even a hint of shrewdness or dignity, resembling a beast that had spotted its prey.

This wasn't something that could be faked; it was the stagnation suppressed in her heart for over twenty years finally being completely released. After tearing off the shackles in her heart, it naturally produced an immense sense of contrast.

Attitude is the mask of the heart.

Put down the attitude, and the true heart will be revealed.

"I still want to kiss."

Li Na straddled Cao Lang, her snow-white body so bright it was hard to keep one's eyes open. She lowered her head, pressing her lips against Cao Lang's, and began to take the initiative.

Li Na's saliva was crystal clear and fragrant. Years of self-discipline kept her stomach and teeth healthy without any odors. Cao Lang also enjoyed the tenderness with Li Na.

In the future, the role Li Na played would not only be a capable assistant but also a caring confidante.

A long time passed.

"Alright, alright, are you going to kiss me to death?"

Facing Li Na's unrestrained demands, Cao Lang was also starting to find it hard to handle... He stopped her in time, causing Li Na to pout slightly like a wronged little wife.

"You said Anna dared to be herself and told me to be myself too! Now that I'm being myself, you're unwilling. You're too much of a double standard!"

Li Na's face was slightly flushed as she looked at Cao Lang with a resentful expression, like an insatiable she-wolf.

"You... my mouth has been sucked swollen by you, and I haven't even had dinner yet. I'm lacking physical strength."

Cao Lang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This Li Na was indeed smart; having spent years in the workplace, her mind worked fast. If it were Liu Qingqin, she would probably have been soft and submissive and stopped kissing long ago.

"One last minute."

"Fine, I'll watch the clock."

A minute later, Cao Lang was finally liberated.

"Then let's go eat. I'll treat you to a big meal."

Li Na let go of Cao Lang with satisfaction, took off the torn grey silk stockings, found a set of casual sportswear to put on, and skillfully tied up her messy hair.

Cao Lang also got dressed and sat by the bed to recover for a bit.

Looking around at the mess on the bed, it was worlds apart from when they first came in.

[Ding! Detected successful hand-holding with Li Na. Unlocked mysterious reward: Proficiency in twenty foreign languages plus one lucky draw chance.]

[Ding! Unlocked tag (Life Mentor for Young Married Women). Obtained item: one Great Reverting Pill. Please continue to work hard.]

Cao Lang was thoughtful, gaining a deeper understanding of this so-called system.

As more tags were unlocked, Cao Lang experienced more things, and his insights into life increased significantly.

The trigger conditions for the tags must have strict requirements. For example, since there is (Life Mentor for Young Married Women), is there a (Life Mentor for Lolis)?

The reason this tag was unlocked was likely because Cao Lang's words allowed Li Na to see through things more clearly and understand the meaning of life better.

In comparison, Jiang Mengyuan, Chen Yongqiu, and Liu Qingqin had not unlocked any tags. It might be because they were relatively easier to obtain and didn't meet the system's conditions.

Life is not always smooth sailing; even the flattest journey will have big winds and waves. If Cao Lang got this system just to satisfy simple desires, he would only need to buy a sports car and go to a nightclub. All the beautiful girls he looked at would be his for the picking.

There was no need to doubt it; there were definitely girls with body and beauty scores exceeding 96 who, despite their stunning shells, lived their lives in a mess.

As long as one was willing to spend money, they could be taken home directly without even needing any foreplay.

If it was just for a taste of something new, it wouldn't matter, but if one was like a Teddy dog trying to hump every telephone pole on the street, it was unnecessary.

To unlock tags, one truly needed to carefully experience every woman's inner world and put in the effort. If one just played with life and truly indulged in the pleasure brought by dopamine, then they would surely lose some of the other joys.

Cao Lang had some realization of this point.

Without thinking further, Cao Lang stood up and prepared to go out, holding the hand of Li Na, who had changed into sportswear and tied her hair in a high ponytail.

Li Na's goose-egg face, with its Oriental beauty, looked even more radiant and as warm as jade after being nourished, revealing a mature charm.

"Sleep at my place tonight?"

"Don't worry, I'll be with you for the next few days."

Cao Lang was in a pleasant mood; he also wanted to spend more time with this big sister who was strong on the outside but soft on the inside. Besides, for a cat that just had a taste of fish, if it wasn't fed enough, there would be big problems.

Li Na hooked her arms around Cao Lang's, a happy expression on her face.

The two entered the elevator. There weren't many people inside, just two white foreigners, one tall and one short, whose eyes were instantly drawn to Li Na.

"&￥%*&&&"

"^&*#%&$&"

The two foreigners looked at Cao Lang and Li Na and began to communicate in low voices, speaking gibberish that couldn't be understood.

Cao Lang had a smile on his face. He turned back and said something, and the two showed surprised expressions, then kept nodding and bowing as if apologizing.

Li Na didn't even understand what language the other party was speaking, yet Cao Lang could actually communicate with them.

It seemed that Cao Lang was definitely not the simple second-generation rich kid she thought he was; he was likely a descendant of a family with deep heritage.

"What did they say? Did they say something bad about you?"

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Li Na couldn't wait to ask Cao Lang.

"It's better if you don't know."

Cao Lang kept her in suspense with a mysterious look.

Li Na held Cao Lang's arm tenderly, leaned her head gently on his shoulder, and said softly, "Actually, I don't care what they said, as long as you're not angry."

Cao Lang turned his head and kissed Li Na's forehead lightly, smiling as he said, "They didn't say anything bad. They just said you're the most beautiful Chinese girl they've ever seen."

"I said thank you, this is my wife, and then they said they were sorry for their words."

Li Na was slightly stunned. Wife? That word felt so strange and distant.

"Did you really say that?" Li Na's voice trembled slightly.

"Would I lie to you?"

Cao Lang pinched the soft flesh at Li Na's waist and said sentimentally, "If I ever get married in this life, I will definitely marry you."

"Then if I ever get married in this life, I will definitely marry you too!"

The strength with which Li Na held his arm tightened a few notches. Through the thin fabric of the sportswear, Cao Lang could clearly perceive Li Na's grandeur.

"By the way, let me ask you a question."

"What question?"

"Are you born this way?"

"How can I control this! Besides, I haven't experienced it before."

Li Na's face gradually reddened, reflecting the neon lights of the street, making her look extremely elegant and beautiful.

The figures of the two playing and laughing merged into the noisy crowd and soon disappeared.

Just like an individual's small happiness merging into the torrent of the times, becoming a part of thousands of joys, angers, sorrows, and delights.
