CHAPTER 447: CHAPTER 266: FINALLY MEETING AGAIN (PART 2)

Xing Nong rolled her eyes: "You have the nerve to say that. If it weren’t for you falling into the trap, would Luoluo have suffered so much? Luckily, that marsh was man-made. If it were real, where would you find us another Luoluo?"

"I was just anxious, okay? At that moment, I wished I could sprout wings and fly back. The more anxious I got, the bigger the mess I made." Wu Zetian patted his chest with a thud: "Xing Nong, if Luoluo had really been hurt that day, I, Old Wu, would have chased after her for sure."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mo Datong knocked Wu Zetian with his chopstick, his eyes brimming with mirth.

"Instructor, don’t hit me, ah. I was just making a metaphor..."

Xing Nong pursed her lips: "All this time you were just making metaphors, meaning you wouldn’t take any real action. So all that talk was pointless."

Wu Zetian hurriedly explained with a flustered grin: "No, no, look, you’re twisting my words again..."

Zhan Hao laughed: "Old Wu, when have you ever gotten the better of Xing Nong in an argument? Stop talking; the more you say, the less sense you make."

"That’s right, a good man doesn’t argue with women!"

"You consider yourself a good man?" Liang Xiaorao said in surprise: "How come I never noticed?"

"I won’t stand for this bullying. Instructor Mo, aren’t you going to do anything?"

Mo Datong glanced at him: "What am I supposed to manage? Aren’t they just stating the facts?"

"Instructor Mo, you’re bullying me too!"

"Hahaha..."

The gloomy atmosphere finally cleared away. It goes to show, sometimes, without the presence of lively characters, things just don’t work.

...

"Ye’er." Accompanied by a magnetic voice, Luo Ye’s arm was tightly grasped. Rushing too fast, she staggered before steadying herself. She looked up to see the handsome face close at hand and managed to squeeze out a smile: "Brother Ye."

"Where are you off to? I’ve called you several times but you didn’t hear." Ye Xuan examined her with a puzzled look.

"I wanted to go see Brother Ye." Luo Ye tried to pull her arm away vigorously.

"You’re looking for Ye Mo?" Ye Xuan probed, looking at Luo Ye: "What happened? You seem off."

"It’s nothing... I’m just really grateful for his care before, and I wanted to see him." Luo Ye’s mind was somewhat hazy, slowly coming back to focus.

After dinner, she went to Ye Qingzhu’s room with the note containing Zhong Yi’s phone number. Xing Nong and Yaoguang wanted to accompany her, but she persuaded them not to go. Knowing Xing Nong’s temper, she was genuinely worried that a fight would break out at the slightest disagreement.

When she reached Ye Qingzhu’s room, only Cui Xuetao and Qian Ying were there, viewing an album. Seeing her, and perhaps feeling a little guilty about the afternoon’s actions, they forcefully dragged her into looking at the album with them.

Unexpectedly, one person, interested in Ye Mo, pointed at his handsome photo in the album, saying she had struggled to join Team A just to be closer to him, closer and closer...

She couldn’t hear what was said afterward, but from the upfront way she talked about it at their first meeting, it was clear how deep her obsession with Ye Mo was.

Her behavior showed that she hoped everyone knew about her feelings, so as to ward off others’ interest in him.

In a moment, all that came to mind was the image of Ye Mo leaving. She became increasingly absent-minded, struggling to distinguish dream from reality, her only thought being to see him immediately...

In fact, since seeing her in the afternoon, she had been desperately suppressing her emotions, appearing calm but actually holding back hatred and concern at the bottom of her heart.

The photo and confession incident provoked her hard-suppressed emotions, along with the guilt she had kept buried. That’s why she looked so dazed earlier.

"I’ll take you there." Ye Xuan suppressed the sour feeling in his heart and led the way to Ye Mo’s tent. Luo Ye rubbed her forehead, troubled—why did she run into him just now?

Lifting the tent flap and seeing Ye Mo engrossed in a book, Luo Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Her restless heart gradually calmed, and she smiled faintly: "Brother Ye, what are you reading so intently?"

"Ye’er?" Ye Mo looked up in surprise, and the fleeting disappointment in his eyes upon seeing Ye Xuan behind her was gone in a blink: "Boss, didn’t you have things to do? Why are you back?"

Ye Xuan’s lips curled into a gentle smile: "I was actually on my way to find Ye’er. I bumped into her by chance, so we came together."

"Brother Ye was looking for me? Is there an urgent matter?" Luo Ye asked, puzzled.

"Sort of, but since you’re in a hurry to find Ye Mo, I won’t discuss it now."

Ye Mo hurriedly said: "Ye’er, you’re in a hurry to see me; is something the matter?"

"It’s nothing; I just remembered..." Mou Ye glanced at Ye Xuan guiltily: "I remembered how I made a mess at the A Division base, and how Brother Ye treated me so well. I especially wanted to come and thank you."

"Why are you being so polite with me? Isn’t that what’s expected?" Ye Mo smiled: "You didn’t think that capturing a prisoner meant I should mistreat you, did you?"

"Hehe... a little." Luo Ye smiled sheepishly, cursing herself silently for her impulsive dumb lies.

"You can be really sharp sometimes, and other times, a bit silly. I really don’t know what to do with you." Ye Mo lifted two small jars in his hand: "I have coffee and tea here; which would you like?"

"No thanks; I won’t be able to sleep at night. Brother Ye, you keep reading, I won’t bother you anymore." Luo Ye tugged at the silent Ye Xuan: "Didn’t you have something to tell me? Let’s discuss it at your place."

Nu’an’s second update is here. Alas, my slow pace is killing me; I even hate myself for it. Mainly because I write and then delete it if I’m not satisfied, and I’m always adjusting. I agonize over it, or maybe you all don’t care about these details in the story, but Nu’an just can’t help but fret. Damn my own annoying habits.

There’s another update that Nu’an will post in the morning as per usual, meaning it’s for today but will go up tomorrow morning. Mainly because I’m so sleepy and want to take a nap before I continue writing. Anyway, there will still be three updates today, and the usual two updates tomorrow. In short, everyone can look forward to three updates tomorrow... Please understand Nu’an, I really care about you all and don’t want to produce subpar content. (To be continued...
