Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1618 - 931: Enlightenment / Reconciliation_2

"What I said isn’t absolute. If you’re consciously trying not to depend on Luo Ye, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. The relationship between you two is enviable. If you can keep it going, it will be one of your greatest assets in life."

Qi Bin looked amusingly at the drooping Xing Nong. She’s still just a kid after all, and his words might be a bit harsh for her.

But when people truly grow up and face a wider circle, their thoughts will certainly change from their student days. Many times people emphasize that true friends don’t care about wealth or status, but is that really the case?

Some issues can’t be analyzed too deeply; the more you analyze them, the more you feel a sense of melancholy—it’s not others’ fault, only blame yourself for not being strong enough.

"I understand Brother Qi’s meaning. In school, I can hide beside Luoluo, carefree, but once I step into society, this approach will not only make others look down on me, but also bring criticism to Luoluo.

Even if I’ve achieved things based on my own strength, others will still doubt me because compared to Luoluo, I fall too short.

So, the best way Brother Qi believes is, first strive hard, wait until I’m capable of standing next to Luoluo, then fight alongside her, not burden her.

Ultimately, coming back to her side is because, no matter how good the friend, if you haven’t contacted or been together for too long, the relationship will be affected, right Brother Qi, is that what you meant?"

Qi Bin nodded: "That’s roughly it. I believe some of you definitely don’t agree with my viewpoint, but I really think this way now.

Most people when looking at things, only look at others from the surface but analyze themselves from within. In doing so, you won’t see others’ efforts, only see your own hardships.

Take me and Ye Xuan, we were originally friends who got along very well. I also admire him, but ever since starting work, I can’t help but compare myself to him.

This comparison isn’t out of refusing to accept his achievements, nor wanting to surpass him, but rather hoping I have enough strength to prevent people from looking down on me, or misunderstanding that being with him is just to borrow his brilliance.

Of course, this is just my personal view; with different personalities, thoughts might differ. My statement is just for reference, after all I’ve been in society many years before you.

I just feel, I was once as pure and passionate as you, but now, I also find it hard not to care about others’ opinions."

"Brother Qi, I really don’t quite agree with your view, and... " Zhan Hao gestured and said, "I’ll be straightforward.

If Yaoguang thinks like you, then her and Luoluo are doomed to gradually drift apart after graduation, because no matter how hard she works, it’s hard to stand side by side with Luo Ye.

This is not to belittle Yaoguang, because comparing family background, personal insights, physical conditioning, intelligence level... etc., they are not on the same starting line.

If she forces herself to keep up with Luoluo, she’s just making things difficult for herself, and ultimately, this relationship will fade under such a conflicted mindset.

Brother Qi, don’t you think it’s a pity to lose such precious friendship due to one’s persistence?"

"I can’t convince you now, but you can’t convince me either, so let’s agree to discuss this again in five years.

If you still insist on this idea by then, then I’ll concede, and the loser has to do something for the winner, whatever it is will be decided by the winner, okay?"

Zhan Hao nodded solemnly: "Okay, let’s do that, the people present can witness it."

Tang Luo coughed lightly: "Why don’t you ask for my opinion? I think I have a lot to say now."

"And me."

"Hmm, it sure seems like husband follows wife now." Xing Nong teased the two with a smile, "Alright, just the same, I’m in a dilemma, so let’s hear what you have to say."

"Tangtang’s thoughts should be the same as mine, let Tangtang speak."

Tang Luo rolled his eyes at Fu Mo and cut to the chase: "Luo Luo, Qiu’er, Demon, Ying Nuo and I were good friends in high school.

Among us, Luo Luo’s relationship with Ying Nuo might be the deepest, because Luo Luo has said more than once that Ying Nuo is different for her.
