Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1288: Chapter 771: Owing Debts Feels Awful (Part 2)

“Brother-in-law Xuan is quite nice.” Dongdong said, and before Luo Ye could reply, he quickly ran towards the dormitory.

“You little brat!” Luo Ye watched his disappearing figure, amused yet exasperated, shaking her head as she walked towards the school gate. This little brat, she thought, let’s see how I’ll deal with him during the New Year.

Sister Li’s situation with her family was strained, so she definitely couldn’t go home for the New Year. Dad had already informed Grandpa that this year they would celebrate in Ludong.

After the second day of the new year, they would visit relatives back home and then go live in Sha City for a while. Of course, this didn’t include Luo Zhenggang himself.

As Jing Xi said, Dad was a popular candidate for Secretary. In fact, since the first half of this year, Secretary Jing had deliberately been handing over some tasks to Dad…

Thinking about this, Luo Ye felt a bit conflicted about Jing Xi’s matters.

With Jing Xi’s temperament, she really didn’t want to help her, but Secretary Jing had been very good to Dad. Ever since Dad was transferred to Ludong, Secretary Jing had always cooperated without causing trouble.

Even if he cared about the Wen Family, Secretary Jing made it clear he was stepping down, with no official burdens; his only son wasn’t pursuing politics, and his daughter was even less interested in a political career.

In other words, Secretary Jing’s kindness to Dad was basically without expectation of return. If there had to be a way to reciprocate, it would be by Dad continuing with his existing plans, which benefited the people…

“What are you thinking about?”

The sudden voice snapped Luo Ye back to reality. She looked up, frowned slightly, “Didn’t we agree you’d all wait for me in the car?”

“Ma Tengyue had something come up and left early. I was just sitting there, so I came out for a stroll and to pick you up.”

“Something came up?” Luo Ye’s voice was laced with disbelief.

“His mom called, said her back hurt, and he rushed back in a hurry.”

Luo Ye clicked her tongue, “Didn’t he say he lives here? How’s his mom suddenly in the picture?”

“She went back to Bin City.” Feng Tianzhi spread his hands, “What is a filial son? That’s one right there.”

“Learn from him.” Luo Ye glanced at the time and quickened her pace, “We’re leaving tomorrow afternoon, I want to spend more time with my family.”

“Why are you so agitated about someone else’s filial piety?” Feng Tianzhi regretted running his mouth immediately, wondering why he even shared that.

He sighed, thinking about how it would be hard to find time alone with her again once they got back.

“Chirp chirp chirp…”

The familiar sound made Luo Ye look up curiously, seeing a dark shadow flying straight at her, quickly landing in her arms.

“Dou Dou, why are you here?” Luo Ye looked around surprised, “Where’s your other half?”

“Chirp chirp chirp…” The little creature seemed to be protesting.

“No other half? Then what do you do each time you run off?” Luo Ye affectionately stroked its little head, “You reckless little thing, what if someone catches you?”

“Chirp chirp chirp…”

“Get in the car.” Feng Tianzhi also petted the little creature, “You chirp all you want, but none of us know what you’re saying, just babbling away.”

“Chirp chirp chirp…”

“Wow, that actually hurt a bit.”

Feng Tianzhi rubbed the spot where Dou Dou had pecked, smiling, “Little Ye’er, even your pet bird is different from others. It not only understands human speech but also decides to take revenge, haha…”

“Chirp chirp chirp…” Dou Dou struggled free and flew off into the sky.

Luo Ye stared at the pitch-dark sky, frowning, “It’s really inconvenient not understanding bird language, what is it trying to tell me?”

“I mean, what if it just flies out to practice its skills with the thought of staying by your side in the future? Well, that wouldn’t be too bad. Other people walk their dogs, but you walk with a seagull following you, turning heads at two hundred percent rate.” Feng Tianzhi joked.

“Say something reasonable, will you? You think it’s an eagle?” Luo Ye gave him a sidelong glance and picked up her pace.

“Little Ye’er!” Feng Tianzhi shouted urgently, his expression becoming serious.

“What is it?” Luo Ye asked without turning her head.

“Do you, not even a tiny bit, like me?” Feng Tianzhi’s voice trembled slightly.

“What’s wrong with you?” Luo Ye stopped and turned to look at him, “Weren’t we all good before? Why ask this again?”

“I’m sorry.” Feng Tianzhi took a deep breath, “Tomorrow, I won’t take the same plane as you to leave. Little Ye’er, do your best.”

After a moment of silence, Luo Ye replied, “Okay.”

They rode in silence.

Until the car drove off, Luo Ye let out a long sigh, “Captain Feng, thank you.”

“Looks like I’ll only earn your thanks when I step back.” Feng Tianzhi shook his head with a bitter smile, “I won’t lie to you, giving up, I’m probably incapable of.

But, in times of difficulty, I will certainly not bring danger to you. That’s how I’ll be for the rest of my life, so you can relax.”

“If you ever need help, just ask.”

“I will.”

“Next year, I plan to get married.”

“Screech!” The car suddenly halted, and Feng Tianzhi stared blankly at Luo Ye, “When did you decide? You’re still so young, why rush?”

“Settling down first before establishing a career is also fine.” Luo Ye smiled at him, “Besides, it can free you earlier.

Captain Feng, sometimes even I feel my attitude towards you is excessive, but what can I do? The best I can do is minimize the hurt to you.

I also believe that after my marriage, you’ll be able to adjust more quickly, and that would be good for everyone. Carrying a debt of emotions is unsettling.”

“I already said, I won’t approach you for a while, so why rush to make such a decision?” Feng Tianzhi loosened the brake with a stoic expression, letting the car slowly move forward, his brows tightly knit.
