Chapter 346: Joy

"Ash, no need to be restrained, just sit anywhere." The elder pointed to the sofa beside her and said.

"Mm, thank you, Auntie." Ash sat down and said.

"Ash, I heard from Misty that you are in your second year of high school now." The elder asked.

"Yes, Auntie, I'm in my second year of high school, I just finished registering today, my school is SZ City No. 7 Middle School, I'll go report tomorrow." Ash recalled the original work and answered.

"That's good, Misty will also take you two to school tomorrow, Misty, remember to take them both to report tomorrow, don't forget!" The elder instructed.

"Mm, I will." Misty nodded and said.

"By the way, where do you live now? You and Misty are still young, are your parents willing to let you move out and live alone?" The elder suddenly remembered this and said with concern.

"Hehe, Auntie, don't worry, my parents bought me a new house a long time ago, it's just that I haven't had time to move in." Ash said.

"Oh!" The elder nodded thoughtfully.

"By the way, Auntie, I came to find you this time because I want to join the army." Ash saw that the elder's attitude toward him seemed to have improved slightly, so he struck while the iron was hot.

"Join the army?" The elder said in surprise.

"Yes, my parents have always felt that I am an ordinary person and cannot become a hero like Misty, so they don't support me, but they have always been helping me, so this time I want to try." Ash said firmly.

"Sigh~~ your father is really too stubborn, that kind of thinking won't work." The elder sighed and said.

"I know you are doing this for my own good, Auntie, but I want to prove with my own strength that I am not a loser." Ash said stubbornly.

"Sigh~~ Ash! You child, I really can't do anything with you, you want to be a soldier, and I can't stop you, how about this, I'll accompany you to register tomorrow." The elder shook her head helplessly and said.

"Really?" Ash said with joy.

"Really, your parents and I can be considered friends, since you are their child, I can't just stand by and watch." The elder said kindly.

"Thank you, Auntie." Ash said gratefully.

"Silly child." The elder stroked Ash's head.

"Eh, who is this?" Yao asked puzzled. Yao looked at the woman who was cold and exuded a chill.

"Yao, this is my girlfriend Cynthia, May, this is my girlfriend." Ash explained.

"Oh, Brother Ash, this is my younger sister, May." Upon hearing Ash's words, Yao felt a bit disappointed; so it wasn't Brother Ash's first love.

"Brother Ash, this sister looks so beautiful." May looked at Cynthia and praised.

"Yao, you're not bad either, so young and so bold, daring to flirt with a minor. Ash, how are you disciplining her, letting May learn bad habits." Cynthia glared at Ash and said.

Ash scratched his head awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.

"Cynthia, why are you being so fierce! Brother Ash is a good person, he wouldn't let me learn bad habits." May pouted and said.

"Hehe, Brother Ash won't, but your parents definitely won't let you play with Ash. Ash, you have to work hard, strive to win May over as soon as possible." Cynthia said with a smile.

"Mm-hmm, Sister Cynthia, don't worry, I will definitely work hard and not let you down." Ash nodded and said.

"Ash! Don't blame Auntie for being meddlesome, Auntie is just afraid you'll get the short end of the stick." The elder interjected.

"Auntie, I won't blame you, I understand your feelings, and I also know that such an outstanding girl, I am not worthy of her. I just want to strive through my own efforts, not rely on anyone, not rely on my parents, I believe I can definitely succeed." Ash said with a firm gaze.

"Auntie, please believe in me."

"Mm, then I believe in you, but you must remember, once you enter the army, you are a soldier, and a soldier's duty is very heavy, you must be prepared. If you encounter difficulties, you can come find Auntie." The elder said gently.

"Auntie, you are so kind." Ash said sincerely, this was an elder worthy of respect.

"Haha!" The elder smiled, continued drinking tea, and said nothing more.

"By the way, Ash, what time are you coming over tomorrow? So I can go to the airport to pick you up in advance." The elder said again.

"Mm, we will arrive in A City around 10:30 AM tomorrow, we'll take a taxi ourselves, no need to trouble you, Auntie." Ash said.

"Mm, that's good, I'll send a driver to pick you up at the airport then." The elder said.

"No need, Auntie, we can go ourselves." Ash quickly refused. Although he now possessed a system space, Ash didn't plan to use it; after all, he was already conspicuous enough, if he used the system, he probably wouldn't be able to keep a low profile in the future.

"It's okay, my driver happens to be on leave tomorrow, let him take you." The elder waved her hand and said with a smile.

"Alright." Seeing this, Ash nodded and agreed. Since the elder had decided, Ash couldn't refuse.

"By the way, Auntie, I came here this time to discuss something with you, about myself." Ash said seriously.

"What is it?" The elder asked puzzled.

"It's about me wanting to join the special operations unit." Ash said seriously.

"Special operations unit? You want to go?" The elder frowned and asked.

"Mm! I really want to go! I want to become stronger." Ash nodded solemnly and said.

"Do you know what department this is? It's not an ordinary place, it's not somewhere anyone can just enter, are you sure you've considered it clearly?" The elder said seriously.

"I'm sure, I know, this department is professionally responsible for protecting national leaders, especially the safety of top scientific researchers, I must go." Ash said.

"Alright then, you eat first, I'll go contact the organization later and have them arrange it, you can go participate in the selection test tomorrow." The elder sighed and said.

"Thank you, Auntie." Ash said happily, finally one step closer to his dream.

Early the next morning, Ash woke up early, finished washing up, put on new clothes, and prepared to go out.

"Brother, are you leaving?" Yao said, sitting on the sofa.

"Mm! I promised Sister Cynthia yesterday that I would help her train my sister, I have to leave early." Ash said, dressed neatly.

"Alright, pay attention to safety on the road." May instructed.

"I know!" Ash said, then turned and walked outside, Cynthia was still waiting for him in the living room.

"Ash, this is Yao's card, keep it safe, this is my phone number, if you have anything, just call me." Cynthia instructed.

"Thank you, Sister Cynthia." Ash took the two notes and said earnestly.

"Alright, hurry up and go!" Cynthia waved her hand and urged.
