Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1040: Chapter 610: Which Place Do I Rank?

"Leaving already? Not staying a bit longer?" Just as a few people stepped out the door, the other door swung open, and Ouyang Zijing stood there grinning.

"No, not sitting." Luo Ye smiled cheekily at her, "No need to talk to me like you’re the host here..." She reached out and grabbed Ye Xuan’s arm, "He’s mine now. If I find out you’ve done something disgusting, I’ll make you regret it for a lifetime."

"Threatening me? You’re actually threatening me?" Ouyang Zijing laughed, "I’ve grown up, and no one has ever threatened me before. How rare, so rare!"

"If you think this is a threat, then sure." Luo Ye raised her eyebrows, "Always trying to test my patience. Do you really think I’m without limits?"

"No..." Ouyang Zijing shook her head with a smile, "I’m just openly telling you, I like Ye Xuan, he’s mine. He was before, and he still will be.

Originally, I thought you were benefiting from my reputation, but now it seems, it might be reversed—I hope to benefit from yours, um... you know what I meant to say."

"Don’t understand." Luo Ye shook her head, "And I don’t want to understand."

After locking the door, Ye Xuan pulled Luo Ye close: "Let’s go, don’t bother with her."

"Okay." Luo Ye nodded in agreement, "I don’t want to bother either, but she keeps challenging me."

Luo Ye nodded: "I know, of course I know, I heard it all. In the future, just think of it as dogs barking and don’t pay attention, alright?"

Ouyang Zijing stepped forward a few steps, grasping the handrail of the stairs, and shouted to the descending Ye Xuan: "Ye Xiaoxuan, you’ll regret what you just said." The nearby doors made a "snap" sound as they opened a crack. Ouyang Zijing snorted coldly, "Close the doors properly. Don’t you know it’s impolite to eavesdrop?" A few more snaps echoed as the doors quickly shut tight.

Xing Nong pursed her lips: "That attitude... even less reliable than me."

"Pfft!" Luo Ye burst out, pointing at Xing Nong, "You’re quite fair in assessing yourself. When I first met you, I was fooled by your outfit, but then, your actions totally revealed your true nature."

"That was ages ago, you still remember?" Xing Nong rolled her eyes, "Heartless, you should be thanking me instead. If it weren’t for me, would your family have such a good maid now? Plus, a dashing little brother, sigh, how come I didn’t recruit Dongdong back then. He’s gotten more handsome each time I see him, makes me drool..."

Yaoguang cut her off: "Alright, stop dreaming. If you dare make a move on him, watch Lu Lu flay you."

While chatting, they got into the car.

Once settled, Xing Nong grabbed Yaoguang by the neck and roared: "Stop reminding me of things. Mention it again and I’ll choke you." Turning to Luo Ye she said, "But, Luoluo, I found out, the one who’s least like their appearance is Lu Lu, looking so quiet and proper, but actually a little tyrant, sigh, I totally misjudged."

"Actually, Lu Lu is really good. I’ve talked to him, and given his mental state, he’s quite mature for his age. Xing Nong..." Ye Xuan hesitated, but decided to speak the truth, "I actually think he acts that way towards you because of your personality. When dealing with others, he really isn’t that overbearing."

"So he’s just a bully at home, huh, ouch!..." In excitement, Xing Nong jumped up and hit her head on the car roof. Oops!

"Don’t rush, don’t rush..." Yaoguang gently rubbed her, looking gleeful at her misfortune.

Xing Nong glared at her, "Laugh one more time, I’ll knock your teeth out!"

"Knock them out and you can get me gold ones." Yaoguang giggled, "Once they’re fitted, I’ll sell them, then switch to porcelain ones for myself. A little pain, but good profit."

"Dream on!" Xing Nong poked Luo Ye, "Luoluo, hurry and arrange Yaoguang’s work-study program. Notice how crazy she’s become about money now.

Or simply put, her obsession with Zhan Hao has reached a maddening level, enough to neglect her health."

"It’s not as exaggerated as you say!" Yaoguang pinched Xing Nong’s side, whispering, "Can we not mention this? Handsome Ye heard everything, and if he tells Zhan Hao, where would I put my face?"

Ye Xuan glanced at them through the rearview mirror: "Don’t worry, I’m not that into gossip. I won’t meddle in your affairs."

"You’re eavesdropping!"

Ye Xuan chuckled: "Do I need to eavesdrop? With my hearing ability, I can hear even quieter sounds. It’s a reflex, can’t help it; if I were truly eavesdropping, would I even admit it?"

"True, then it’s really unfair to you, Night Market..." As Ye Xuan’s eyebrows twitched, Yaoguang quickly corrected, "Instructor Ye, please, you must keep it confidential, I’m begging you."

"I will." Ye Xuan glanced at Luo Ye, smiling meaningfully.

Xing Nong craned her neck to check Ye Xuan’s expression: "What are you thinking? Smiling like you stole a chicken from a fox?"

"Your chicken must be amazing to steal from a fox, that would be a divine chicken, right?" Luo Ye sneered, "Hard to get along with, having such a good chicken, won’t let us see it!"

"Annoying, you know I misspoke." Xing Nong slapped her, then chuckled, "You’re the fox, your Old Ye is the chicken."

"Screw off!" Luo Ye rare burst into coarse language.

"Sorry, I didn’t think it through, Instructor Ye, don’t be mad, I didn’t mean it." Xing Nong realized her analogy was off and quickly apologized.

Ye Xuan waved his hand: "It’s fine, I’m a guy, I won’t overthink it. You don’t need to worry about me, just keep the conversation topics within reason."

"..."

Chatting and laughing all the way, they soon reached the school gate, and Luo Ye quickly waved her hand: "Alright, just stop at the gate, there’s no need to go inside."

Ye Xuan cheerfully stopped the car: "Okay, I’ll just drop you off here."

"I have my phone on vibrate, send me a text when you get back."

"I will." Ye Xuan affectionately ruffled Luo Ye’s hair, "Don’t worry, from now on, no matter where I go, I will report to Ye’er that everything is okay."

"Tsk..." Xing Nong shivered, quickly getting out of the car: "So cheesy!"

Yaoguang laughed and pointed at the silhouette standing in the shadows at the gate: "Take a good look, who is that? This approach is even cheesier, tsk..."

"Oh my, why is he here?" Xing Nong scratched her head in distress, "Does anyone else have such a complicated relationship like mine? Fear of a boyfriend like fear of a tiger, ow! I bet I’m the only pitiful soul like this!"

Luo Ye pushed her forward: "Alright, stop playing around, it’s not easy for someone to wait for you till now. If he didn’t care about you, why would he stand there like a signpost?"

Lu Lu urgently concluded: "You’re finally back, now I’m relieved, goodbye." With that, he turned and left.

Xing Nong pointed dumbfounded at his retreating figure: "Uh, what’s that supposed to mean?"

Luo Ye chuckled and wrapped an arm around her neck: "Weren’t you just complaining he clings to you? This is called concern, but giving you freedom."

"Hmph!" A certain Nong snorted, "Luoluo, I’ve realized you’re the most unreliable double-dealer, never telling the truth in front of us, clearly, we can’t compare to Mr. Ye!"

"Stop with the sarcasm, when did I not speak the truth?" Luo Ye blankly patted her forehead, "Did you two not even go out for a stroll, just stayed at the door and eavesdropped instead?"

Xing Nong pouted: "The door to Old Ye’s place, with its great soundproofing, we couldn’t hear a thing even with our ears pressed against it."

Luo Ye pointed at her forehead, poking a few times: "You really were eavesdropping outside the whole time, weren’t you?"

"So what? We didn’t hear anything." Xing Nong shrugged, "Actually, our main purpose was to keep watch for you. If Ouyang Zijing came by to eavesdrop, wouldn’t that be annoying?

In any case, how did I get distracted by you, we were just talking about you being a double-dealer, Luoluo, even though we didn’t hear it, judging from your and Ye Xuan’s expressions, what you say to us and to Ouyang Zijing are all lies! Hmph!"

"It’s not as serious as you make it sound." Luo Ye laughed and ruffled her hair, "When it comes to matters of the heart, who can really bring themselves to tell the whole truth?

Pride, everyone has it, I’m no exception. I don’t want Ouyang Zijing to know that I care about Ye Xuan. With her personality, if she knew I was jealous of her, who knows how smug she’d be.

As for you two, how could I possibly admit it to you? If admitting it would drag you into it, what would you do then?"

"Friends are supposed to stick together through thick and thin..."

Yaoguang interrupted Xing Nong: "Not just thick and thin, but all over the waist!"

"Uh..." Luo Ye speechlessly looked at Yaoguang, "What are you planning? All over the waist, just listen to yourself."

Yaoguang laughed bashfully: "Hehe, I mean stick it to their waist, not put it all over yours."

"Alright, enough nonsense, I seriously warn you guys: don’t provoke Ouyang Zijing, I’ll handle it myself."

Both nodded feebly, Xing Nong couldn’t help but mutter under her breath: "Got it, you’re so naggy, not much of a friend, can’t even share troubles..."

"Qiu’er, Yao Yao, I know how good you two are to me, but some things must be faced on one’s own. I can’t selfishly pull you both into it.

Moreover, you will each have your own life in the future. I don’t want this kind of dependence to become a catalyst for future conflicts, understand?"

"I don’t understand." Xing Nong shook her head, "If Lu Lu dares to be dissatisfied because I helped you, I will break up with him on the spot, even if it becomes known to the whole school, I will still do it."

Luo Ye comfortingly patted her: "Alright, no matter what, you shouldn’t disregard your partner’s opinions like that. I was just giving an example, not saying he would actually mind."

Xing Nong suddenly looked seriously at Luo Ye: "Luoluo, can you tell me honestly, where do I rank in your heart?"
