Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 514: Chapter 310: Journey to the Capital (Part 2)

”You chatterbox, figure it out yourself.” Dong Qi called out to his teammates: ”Guys, eat less at lunch; the captain is treating us tonight, and we’re going to make the most of it!”

”That’s for sure!” Wang Miao readily agreed.

”You’re the chattiest one here.”

Almost everyone had left the sports field when Sun Linjian came up as they were packing up to leave: ”Eat more and fatten up until you all become fat pigs that can’t run!”

”Enough, we all know what you’re thinking. No need for the sour grapes, just go enjoy yourself wherever you like.” Dong Qi pushed him away: ”If you like her, then go for it. Are you a man or not?”

”I chase her, and she doesn’t give me the time of day,” Sun Linjian grumbled, then turned to summon his teammates from the Journalism department: ”Tonight we’ll also head to Xiao Shaoxing. They’re celebrating their win; we’re boosting our spirits after the loss. Next time it’ll be us celebrating!”

”Long live the boss!” A few guys cheered excitedly.

”It’s clear you just want to see Miao Lin, coming up with a bunch of excuses and not blushing one bit.” Dong Qi looked back at them and shook his head speechlessly.

Wang Miao warily watched his expression, lips moving slightly but ultimately staying silent.

”Don’t worry, I would never go after someone who’s ’brother-zoned’ by one of us,” Dong Qi said as he quickened his pace, and the others exchanged looks before quickly catching up.

...

Zhan Ping was all tangled up in thoughts. He knew well how Miao Lin felt about him, and although their families weren’t perfectly matched, they were compatible enough.

But ever since he had encountered her with Sister Qingzhu and had a cup of coffee together, the little interest he had in Miao Lin vanished without a trace.

Even he was surprised. Just one meeting was enough to give him the feeling that they had known each other for a long time, even in a past life!

Even now, the image of her running helplessly in the drizzling rain and falling would often pop up in front of him. Was she doing okay now?

He clenched his fists. Even without her contact details, this time, he was determined to speak clearly with Miao Lin. No more dragging things out—it always made him feel like he was deceiving her.

With his resolve firm, he quickened his pace until he arrived at the guest room 106 on the East 2nd building. Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the door.

”Big brother?” Zhan Ping was surprised to see the person in the room. Although he had dismissed Dong Qi’s guess, he believed it in his heart, especially since Miao Lin had a history!

Ye Xuan’s lips curved into a smile: ”Yes, surprised to see me?”

”Yes!” Zhan Ping nodded earnestly. He had not seen this big brother often, but his grandpa constantly mentioned Ye Xuan’s achievements and asked him to take Ye Xuan as a role model. He indeed held a deep respect for him!

”Hello, I’m Luo Ye.” Luo Ye greeted him warmly. As her mentor’s top priority, of course, she came along to Beijing, and the previous notification from Feng Tianzhi turned out to be a big help.

”Hello,” Zhan Ping replied politely, his puzzled gaze shifting to Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan was known for his strict behavior regarding women, so the two of them together must have a special relationship.

”Ye’er is your future sister-in-law.” Ye Xuan smiled faintly at him: ”Here’s what we’ll do—you go take a shower and change your clothes, and we’ll talk while we walk.”

”Okay.” Zhan Ping didn’t dawdle. He quickly got up and excused himself politely.

As the sound of footsteps faded away, Luo Ye turned to Ye Xuan: ”Now I understand why the Ye Family didn’t look deeply into his identity. He’s handsome, but he doesn’t quite resemble either his master or mistress. Quite a growth.”

Hearing Luo Ye refer to him as ’the kid,’ Ye Xuan chuckled: ”He’s older than you, and the kid is quite smart, very good at reading the room and timing.”

”Hmph, you call him ’the kid’ too,” Luo Ye shrugged.

”I’m six years older than you,” Ye Xuan said as he lovingly embraced her: ”Rest on me for a bit. Although the wound on the outside has healed, it’s still an injury to your vitality, and it has been hard on you to follow me around, sigh...”

”I’m not that delicate. If Dr. Hua says it’s okay, then it’s definitely okay,” Luo Ye said, seemingly relaxed but unknowingly clenching her fist.

”Ye’er, trust me, everything will be okay with me around,” Ye Xuan said as he held her fist and gently pried it open: ”Thank you for coming with me.”

”What are you talking about.” Luo Ye sighed with a touch of moisture in her eyes: ”Life is unpredictable; people should do what they want when they can to avoid regret.”

”Ye’er, Grandma Yao was a special case,” Ye Xuan said with a pained look. Luo Ye’s coming along this time, and Wen Xin’s agreement, had something to do with Grandma Yao’s departure.

Grandma Yao was the old lady who, with a chuckle, had urged Ye Xuan to hold Luo Ye. The surgery was very successful, but considering her old age, recovery was slow. Her daughter-in-law was rather careless, and negligence led to the old lady’s accidental passing.

Wen Xin knew the old lady as well, which is why when Luo Ye suggested visiting Great Grandpa, Wen Xin agreed after a slight hesitation.

It’s true what they say about seeing the elderly; every visit could be the last. It may sound harsh, but that’s the plain truth.

Of course, Old Master Wen and Grandma Yao’s opinions were also sought, and the old couple was quite open-minded. After some consideration, they agreed, though Old Master Wen did pull Ye Xuan aside for a private lesson.
