Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1041: Chapter 611: Power Struggle

Luo Ye looked at Xing Nong with a bit of difficulty: "Qiu’er, how am I supposed to answer your question? Let’s put it this way, in my heart, your place is second only to Nuonuo, is that okay?"

Xing Nong pouted, "Why can’t I be as important as Nuonuo?"

Luo Ye shook her head, "She’s different, forever." Yes, the bonds and emotions of past lives have destined that no one can replace Yunuo’s position.

Xing Nong was taken aback: "Why?"

"Qiu’er, I’ve told you this before, during my most difficult times, it was Yunuo who stayed with me. This friendship, no one can ever compare." Luo Ye let out a soft sigh, "Relationships between people have timing involved. Too early or too late, it just won’t work."

Xing Nong pursed her lips, "Even if you have a ranking in your heart, you could trick me into thinking we’re equal. I wouldn’t know, so why be so blunt, huh, really heartbreaking."

"Qiu’er..." Luo Ye looked at her with difficulty, "We are best friends, so I don’t want to lie. To me, Yunuo is even more important than my parents. You might think I’m exaggerating, but it’s the truth. As for the specific reasons, don’t ask, it can’t be explained in just a few words."

Xing Nong thought for a moment and looked at Luo Ye seriously: "So, Nuonuo holds the number one place in Luoluo’s heart?"

Luo Ye nodded, thinking to herself, "And Uncle Jiang is just as important." These two people, to her, are unique.

"Alright, then I won’t compete. I really don’t know what happened to you back then to have such feelings with Nuonuo. Envy and jealousy indeed." Xing Nong patted Yaoguang, "Aren’t you jealous too?"

Yaoguang pursed her lips, "Can’t you see I didn’t even ask? That’s because I know my place, I’m definitely ranked after you."

"You two, stop debating these things. To me, you are both very important. If I had to rank, I would be in a dilemma." Luo Ye pulled them and quickened their pace, "Hurry up, don’t wait until the lights out signal sounds to go back."

"Ah ah ah..." Xing Nong slapped her own forehead, "I was so confused just now. Since we already took leave, we should be staying outside. Sigh, Mr. Qu saved a lot of money once again."

Luo Ye glanced at her sidelong: "That room was empty anyway, wasn’t it?"

Xing Nong snorted discontentedly: "Yao Yao and I aren’t going to share a room with you. We’re not as important as Nuonuo, so the special room can be reserved for when she comes to stay with you."

Luo Ye laughed and patted her head: "Qiu’er, the title of sour woman can be passed on to you now."

Xing Nong tilted her head and glared at her: "That’s because, in Qiu’er’s heart, Luoluo is the most important friend, so Qiu’er is sad."

"What about me?" Yao Yao said softly.

"You?" Xing Nong was stunned for a moment, "Of course, you’re also the most important, rankings aren’t fixed."

"Dug yourself into a hole, haven’t you?" Luo Ye mischievously ruffled her hair, "Serves you right!"

"Heartbroken, none of you value me," Yaoguang made a dramatic gesture of pounding her chest and stomping her feet, "Comparing people is infuriating!"

Luo Ye chuckled and lightly tapped her forehead with a finger: "Taishan, take it easy, don’t hurt your little chest."

Yaoguang hit her in anger, "Annoying, you’re the Taishan! You’re the primate!"

"Stop right there!" Bai Yan approached with her eyebrows tightly knitted, "Coming back so late, be mindful of the impact, can’t you?"

"Yes!" The three quickly stood straight. No matter what, at school, she is indeed the authority, and the proper etiquette is necessary.

Bai Yan’s expression slightly relaxed: "Even if you’ve taken leave, you need to be cautious. What you’re doing puts the school leaders and military commanders in a tough spot, do you understand?"

"Yes!"

Bai Yan waved them off: "Alright, hurry back to sleep now."

"Yes!" The three responded and quickly ran towards the dormitory.

"Letting us off so easy?" Xing Nong incredulously stuck out her tongue, "I thought we were in for a half-day lecture or something."

Yaoguang shot a puzzled look back, "I think it’s strange too, could there be some kind of plot?"

Luo Ye waved her hand: "Alright, stop overthinking it."

Xing Nong glanced around and leaned into Luo Ye’s ear, whispering, "By the way, Luoluo, did you hear? Coach Bai is pursuing Professor Yu Wen."

Luo Ye rolled her eyes at her, "Professor Yu Wen is already married, what’s the point of pursuing him?"

Xing Nong pouted, "You’re too indifferent to our Professor Yu Wen. He and Mrs. Han have already separated, didn’t you know?"

Luo Ye was dumbfounded: "For what reason?"

"Different beliefs probably, Professor Yu Wen lived abroad for many years and has a lot of ideas that don’t align with Mrs. Han. They fought more and more until it became like this." Yaoguang scratched her head in confusion, "There are so many cross-cultural marriages, not all end in divorce, so why did theirs come to this?"

"You’re really going off on a tangent, forget it, let’s not get involved in the professor’s affairs," Luo Ye said, quickening his pace. "Five minutes until lights out, hurry up."

As the three of them rushed into the dorm, the loud lights-out signal sounded, and Xing Nong patted his chest. "That was close, but unfortunately, we can’t brush our teeth or wash our face now."

"You guys finally came back..." Yu Na breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of them. "According to reliable sources, there’s a surprise assembly tonight; if you hadn’t returned, our class would have become the last."

"Really?" Xing Nong patted his chest. "No wonder Coach Bai let us go so easily; so that’s what’s going on."

Ji Sisi clapped her hands: "Everyone stay alert tonight. In our dorm, we have three Fierce Tigers and two A-team members; we can’t lose face."

"Got it." Miaomiao and Li Qing responded in unison and quickly burrowed into their beds.

"Understood." Bai Qingchu replied somewhat reluctantly and lay down with his clothes on.

Ji Sisi realized what happened and apologetically tapped the side of Bai Qingchu’s bed: "Bai Qingchu, I didn’t mean anything by it, don’t overthink."

"Who’s overthinking?" Bai Qingchu suddenly stood up. "Who said I’m overthinking? It’s just Fierce Tigers and A-team members, what’s the big deal!"

Ji Sisi wasn’t pleased either: "If it’s not a big deal, why are you so angry?"

"Implying that the three of us would drag you down—isn’t that a bit too much?" Bai Qingchu snorted coldly, "Besides, the head of dorm 308 is Luo Ye, and she didn’t say anything, so where do you get off having so much to say?"

"No, why do you have such a big temper?" Ji Sisi suddenly sat up. "I’m doing this for collective honor, not for myself, so why are you showing me attitude?"

"Just can’t stand you all, always acting superior, better than everyone else. Sure, in terms of development, you’re better than us now, but ten years in the east, ten years in the west. Can you guarantee always being on top? Do you really believe we’ll forever be inferior..."

Luo Ye quickly interrupted Bai Qingchu: "It’s late at night, stop arguing, they’re about to check the beds, sleep now."

"Luo Ye, I’m not targeting you, but I honestly feel our dorm needs some adjustments. Look, you and Xing Nongyao are members of the Fierce Tigers team, you have privileges, free entry and exit, and that’s something we can’t match.

Ji Sisi and Yu Na are both A-team members, and even though their entry isn’t as free as yours, their status is quite a bit higher than ours. So when something happens, everyone speaks to us three as if commanding.

And we three, we’re top students from our previous schools; we came here to also study hard and train rigorously, compared to our peers, we’re outstanding too. Why do we constantly get ordered around?

I don’t know how Miaomiao and Li Qing feel, but I definitely feel uncomfortable. Of course, when the class monitor asks us to do something, it’s fine given her position, but them, why?"

Ji Sisi pouted: "If you’re dissatisfied, you could report the situation to school leaders, why make it difficult for the class monitor?"

Yu Na sat up: "Bai Qingchu, self-respect is earned, not given. Don’t be upset by my words; it’s the reality.

Think about it, when we first started, I was the class monitor, and now what am I? Nothing. If we talk about it, shouldn’t I be even more unbalanced?

At first, I really was unbalanced, but now I’ve come to realize that people often see themselves too importantly, leading to dissatisfaction.

When you observe objectively, see others’ strengths, you realize that opportunities favor those truly prepared."

Bai Qingchu quickly responded: "I don’t agree with your views. People are categorized into ranks from birth, is this self-respect earned too?"

Ji Sisi continued: "Yes, the ranks are earned by each person’s ancestors or grandparents or even further back; their status is definitely linked to their contributions."

Li Qing hesitantly said: "Uh, can I say something?"

Luo Ye glanced at his watch: "Go ahead, we have five minutes left, everyone hurry."

Xing Nong, who had been staring at Luo Ye, amazedly peered under the bed: "Luoluo, do you have cat eyes? How can you see the time in this lighting?"

Luo Ye covered up: "I have some light here, plus I’ve approximated to figure it out."

"True, the moon is quite bright tonight."

After Xing Nong finished speaking, Li Qing continued: "May I speak now?"

Xing Nong quickly nodded: "Go ahead, I’m done talking."

"My family is from the countryside; when I first came to school, I felt extremely inferior, thinking I couldn’t match you guys at all. But today, I’ve become much more confident.

Yes, my identity was set from birth, but I can change my circumstances through my efforts, providing a better life for myself and my family.

So, I think before arguing about rights here, everyone should strive to maximize their abilities and achieve the best results for practicality."
