Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 964: Chapter 571: Selection/Zhu, the Younger Cousin

Luo Ye rubbed his forehead with a black line, rubbed it again, wondering when Qiu’er became so obedient? Or is Lu Lu’s influence too strong?

Xing Nong gave her a slap: "What kind of expression is that? Not happy if they don’t listen, not happy if they do listen, what do you want people to do?"

"What do you want people to do?" Luo Ye mimicked Xing Nong’s voice and swayed her hips, chuckling, "Qiu’er is getting more ladylike."

"Annoying Luo Luo, getting more irritating!"

"Annoying Luo Luo, getting more irritating!" Yaoguang quickly followed suit.

"I’m ignoring you all!" Mou Qiu glared at both of them and walked away angrily.

Luo Ye quickly grabbed her, leaning his head in to take a close look at her face: "Qiu’er, actually, you’re pretty cute like this, really."

"Annoying!" Xing Nong bared her teeth fiercely, "Say that again and I’ll bite you to death!"

Luo Ye stopped teasing her: "Alright, why are you here so early, what’s the matter?"

Xing Nong suddenly slapped her forehead: "With all this commotion, I almost forgot the important thing. Luo Luo, you should sign up for the debate competition."

Luo Ye pondered for a moment and understood: "Who dropped out?"

"Well, about that..." Xing Nong rubbed her forehead, "Sigh, didn’t we talk about it before? Our school initially selected Yu Na, Qi Ziheng, Li Minjiang, and Lu Lu. Originally, this was all set in stone, but unpredictable things happen..."

Luo Ye interrupted her: "Get to the point."

"I’m getting there, what’s the rush?" Xing Nong pouted, "Yao Yao and I came early to wait for you, you didn’t know, and now you’re raising your voice at me, hmph!"

Luo Ye sized her up: "Uh, Qiu’er, pardon me, but are you pregnant or going through menopause?"

"Annoying!" Xing Nong punched her on the shoulder, "You’re the one who’s pregnant, you’re the one going through menopause, stupid Luo Luo, annoying Luo Luo..."

"Alright, alright, my mistake, my mistake." Luo Ye gently patted her, giving Yaoguang a wink.

Yaoguang waved his hand repeatedly: "Luo Luo, once Qiu’er finishes venting, she’ll naturally tell you. Since you don’t often stay here, you have to understand my hardships..."

"Hmm?" Xing Nong stared at Yaoguang, "What do you mean by that?"

Yaoguang grimaced: "Qiu’er, when you’re in a bad mood, you often keep me up, isn’t that true?"

"The truth is, I only keep you up when you provoke me." Xing Nong proudly raised an eyebrow, "If you offend me, you have to pay the price."

"Forget it, I’m leaving." Luo Ye quickened her pace towards the dormitory.

Xing Nong quickly caught up with her: "Qi Ziheng suddenly fainted yesterday, he was rushed to the hospital for tests, and the doctor said the situation might not be good, he needs to be hospitalized for observation. The exact test results will come out in three days.

The school put up a notice last night about selecting another student for the debate competition, Luo Luo, we think you should give it a try."

Luo Ye frowned: "Is the hospital suspecting Qi Ziheng has leukemia?"

Xing Nong nodded heavily: "Yes."

"Typically, the hospital wouldn’t give a definite answer before the results come out," Luo Ye expressed her doubt.

"Qi Ziheng woke up eager to return to school for the competition preparations, but the doctor wouldn’t allow him to leave the hospital; he got quite emotional and started arguing with the doctor and fainted again.

The accompanying teachers and students worried about upsetting the doctor, explained the importance of the debate competition, and the doctor, realizing its significance, suggested the school prepare in advance."

"So that’s how it is." Luo Ye sighed softly, "This kind of opportunity is actually quite troubling."

"Yeah, that’s why Yao Yao and I are conflicted." Xing Nong sighed heavily too, "We both hope you get this opportunity but also feel sad for him.

However, since it’s already happened, feeling sad won’t help, so while we help him as much as we can, we should strive for ourselves too. Luo Luo, you will go for it, won’t you?"

"Right." Luo Ye hugged her, sighed softly, "I’m not a rash child, don’t worry."

...

Inside the small conference room.

Luo Ye, Zhan Hao, Feng Qing, and three other men and women from the first and third years sat on one side of the conference table, with Han Leming and Li Qingqi seated at the main position. Feng Tianzhi and three other team captains sat on the opposite side.

"Today is already the 29th, and there are only three days left before leaving for Beijing, you haven’t had as much time to prepare as the already selected students..." Han Leming paused, continued, "This means that if in the competition your performance isn’t as good as the other three, holding everyone back, you might face criticism from the entire school faculty and students.
