Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption-Chapter 442 - 263: All Sides Make Their Entrance

"Ye’er, is that you?" Wen Xin’s gentle voice carried a hint of urgency, as Luo Ye’s eyes quickly filled with tears, she struggled to suppress her turbulent emotions: "Mom, it’s me."

"Ye’er..." Wen Xin’s voice choked up: "No news from you for two months, your mom is dying to see you, did you lose weight? Are you injured? How have you been eating and sleeping?"

"Mom, I’m doing just fine, I haven’t lost weight, and I’m not injured. I sleep well, too. I just miss Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Brother, as well as Qingqing and Master. By the way, Mom, have you decided whether or not you’re going to help Master?"

"You, this child. Your master really cares about you," Wen Xin paused, "For your master’s sake, I will help them, but this isn’t a knot that can be untied in a day or two. Mom needs to think carefully about how to proceed.

Zhan Yuying is also a stubborn one. It’s one thing for her to reconcile with me, but if I take advantage of this opportunity to talk about her and your master’s issue, it might backfire.

But for the sake of my Ye’er’s future happiness, Mom will find a way to make them reconcile. The best opportunity might be during the New Year. Ye’er, don’t worry too much, train hard, study hard, take care of yourself, and visit Grandma and Grandpa more during the holidays."

"Mom, I will, don’t worry. Is Grandpa not at home? How is his health? How has Dad and Brother been recently? Are they not home either?"

"They’re all good. Your Grandpa and Grandpa Song went over to your master’s. Your dad hasn’t finished work, and your brother hasn’t come home yet. You girl just love to worry," Wen Xin playfully scolded: "Now you don’t enjoy some leisure time. Once you’re married, you’ll miss having any leisure time."

Ye Fan whimsically whined, "Mom..., how old am I even? By the way, are Dou Dou and Song Qiu behaving? Has Song Qiu grown a lot?"

"Don’t worry, Dou Dou and Song Qiu are very well-behaved. Little Songqiu should be called Big Songqiu now. Come here, call out twice..." After a moment, Song Qiu’s "Woof Woof" and Dou Dou’s "Chirp Chirp" could be heard through the phone, accompanied by Wen Xin’s chiding for the two not to fight.

Luo Ye’s mind immediately conjured up the proud image of Dou Dou puffing out its little white chest, and the endearingly clumsy Song Qiu’er pushing forward, her lips unconsciously curving into a sweet smile. Li Xiaobei, sitting opposite her, was taken aback and whispered curiously, "What good news is the class monitor listening to?"

"Let me listen." Liang Xiaorao stretched her head over, and Luo Ye slapped her hand away: "Back off!"

"Huh?" Wen Xin asked, puzzled.

Luo Ye quickly explained: "Mom, I wasn’t talking about you, it’s my classmate who came over eavesdropping."

"I thought you were telling Song Qiu and Dou Dou to back off. Oh right, Ye’er, Mom wants to ask you something..."

Luo Ye glanced at the time and quickly interrupted Wen Xin: "Ah! Mom, it’s time, I can’t talk anymore, I’ll call you back after I return to school, please tell Grandpa, Dad, and Brother I miss them, bye mom!"

"Class monitor, I’m sorry, it’s my fault you couldn’t talk to your mom more," Li Xiaobei said apologetically, looking at Luo Ye who hastily hung up the phone.

Luo Ye’s attention returned, and she smiled gracefully: "It’s alright, I can call my mom back another day."

Liang Xiaorao mockingly imitated Luo Ye, stretching her intonation: "Mom..., how old am I even... Class monitor, I find that you’re quite cute. Tell me the truth, is it because your aunt is busy arranging for you to find a boyfriend?"

"Go! Go! Go!" Luo Ye shooed her away like swatting a fly: "Hurry up and get dressed, what would it look like if someone walked in?"

"Embarrassed, huh? Hehe..." Liang Xiaorao tidied up her clothes, snickering as she returned to her bed: "I think Feng Commander takes quite an interest in you, take that into consideration, he is handsome, capable, and a prosperous future golden bachelor..."

"If you like him, you chase after him," Luo Ye quickly interrupted her, preventing her from talking nonsense.

Liang Xiaorao pouted: "I would like to chase him, but I’m afraid he won’t fancy me."

Ji Sisi, wiping her hair as she walked out of the bathroom, joined the conversation: "As long as you work hard, even an iron pestle can be ground to a needle, little comrade, I support you."

Liang Xiaorao pursed her lips: "Do you even know who I’m talking about? You’re supporting me?"

"Lieutenant Colonel Feng, of course. With those shiny, shiny eyes you give him, we can all guess what your restless young heart is thinking about."

"You’re the one with shiny, shiny eyes, you’re the one with a restless young heart. Sisi, who would have thought, you’re really the big bad wolf in disguise!"

"The term ’shiny, shiny’ is indeed most apt and fits the current situation. You have the heart of a thief but not the courage, haha..."

"Knock knock knock..." A rhythmic knocking sound came from the door.

Li Xiaobei hurried over, opened the door, and quickly stood up straight: "Good day, Feng Commander!" The corners of everyone’s mouths in the room twitched; speaking of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.

Feng Tianzhi’s narrow eyes slightly curved upwards: "I came over to take care of some business, thought I would check in to see if it’s really as good as Ye Datong said. Is it all right for me to come in?"

Li Xiaobei hastily stepped aside: "Sure, please come in."

Ji Sisi teased: "Commander Feng, be honest, did you plan to come and check the environment, or did you have in mind to see a certain person among us?"

"Both aspects are there, now that I’m no longer your boss, I can speak frankly," Feng Tianzhi’s gaze fell upon Luo Ye: "Little Ye’er, would you welcome me?"

"Phht!"

Several burst out laughing!

Luo Ye shivered with disgust: "Feng Commander, could you please address me in a more normal way?"

"I used to address you this way before I became your superior. I had no choice but to call you by your name. Now that I’m off duty, of course, I have to switch back. Little Ye’er sounds so much nicer."

Anyone who isn’t a fool can see what Feng Tianzhi is implying. Liang Xiaorao playfully sticks her tongue out: "Feng Commander, everyone was just talking about you. The girls were even advising me to pursue you if I liked you. But now, it seems I’d better stand aside and know my place."

"Following tradition, shouldn’t I be saying something like, ’You’re a good girl, you’ll find someone more suited for you’? Is that what you say?"

Liang Xiaorao pats her chest: "Commander, I’ve decided, from now on you’re my idol. If anyone dares to speak ill of you, I’ll be the first to disagree."

"Since that’s the case, I’ll give you a task: always remind Little Ye’er how great I am, so she can’t even think of escaping!"

Liang Xiaorao salutes: "Yes sir! Command received!"

Luo Ye rolls her eyes: "Please, cut it out. The commander doesn’t act like a commander, the trainee doesn’t act like a trainee. Have you considered how I, the person involved, feel?"

"Little Ye’er, I’m a straightforward person. I say what I like, and I like you; there’s nothing shameful about that. But you’ve got to let go of your preconceptions and see me for who I really am before making a decision. Otherwise, it’s really unfair to me, right?"

"Wow, quite lively here!"

Everyone looks towards the source of the sound and sees a wheat-skinned, spirited female officer standing by the door. Seeing everyone looking her way, she smiles and points to the door: "It’s not closed."

"Instructor Ye!" Luo Ye rushes over in surprise: "What brings you here?" She then slaps her forehead: "Look at me, I’m so forgetful. You’re here for the A-Team selection, of course. I bet you got in, right?"

"Instructor Ye!"

"Instructor Ye!"

"..."

Ji Sisi, Li Xiaobei, and Liang Xiaorao recognize the person as Ye Qingzhu and hurriedly stand up to greet her.

"Hello everyone, I’m no longer your instructor. Just call me by my name. If you really can’t do that, you can call me Captain Ye." Ye Qingzhu then sits on Luo Ye’s bed, looking towards Feng Tianzhi: "Lieutenant Colonel Feng seems to have the leisure to come chat in the girls’ dormitory, which is very much in line with his reputation."

Feng Tianzhi smiles with a hooked corner of his mouth: "Ye Xuan’s sister, Ye Qingzhu, to recognize me at a glance shows that I carry some weight in the Ye Family, which makes me quite proud."

Ye Qingzhu raises an eyebrow: "Other than you, who else would do such a reckless thing?"

"You were eavesdropping on our conversation?"

"Is there a need to eavesdrop? The door was wide open, and I didn’t want to interrupt. I had to wait for you to finish confessing before I could speak up. From this point of view, Lieutenant Colonel Feng is quite unqualified. Had it been an enemy, you all would have been captured!"

The tense atmosphere between the two made Ji Sisi and the others anxious, looking from one to the other, not sure whom to support.

Luo Ye rubs her forehead with a headache. How to mediate this situation?

Ye Qingzhu tugs at Luo Ye’s sleeve: "Come with me, I want to talk with you for a bit."

"Ye Qingzhu, do you think this tactic will stop me? It’s useless." Feng Tianzhi stands up smiling: "It’s getting late, I’ll be leaving. See you all another day."

"Goodbye, Feng Commander!" Ji Sisi and the others quickly wave their hands.

As he passes by Luo Ye, Feng Tianzhi stops: "Little Ye’er, I am very patient, very persistent, and very determined. I’ll wait for you. Don’t try to fob me off with engagements and marriage. It won’t work on me."

Luo Ye spreads her hands: "I’m speechless with you, narcissistic and conceited. Also, I know exactly why you’re doing this, save yourself the trouble."

"Haha, time will tell everything. Goodbye, Little Ye’er!"

Mo Datong, who happens to walk by, looks puzzled at the pleased Feng Tianzhi: "What’s the good news that has made you so happy?"

"Making certain people nervous is what makes me happy." Feng Tianzhi pats Mo Datong on the shoulder and walks out with a spring in his step.

"Is he fine?" Mo Datong mutters, then turns his head with a smile on his stern face: "Qingzhu, when did you get here?"

Ye Qingzhu smiles: "Not long ago. Brother Datong, I want to take Ye’er out for a stroll, is it alright?"

Mo Datong readily agrees: "Go on, now it’s free time for the trainees, everyone can go out for a walk. Just make sure to be back by six for roll call, and I’ll take you all out for dinner."

"Can we stay out?" Liang Xiaorao asks, excited.

"No."

Liang Xiaorao disappointingly sits back down: "Tents again, I’d rather sleep in my room for a couple of hours than go out for field training."
