CHAPTER 538: CHAPTER 322: NEWS 3

"Okay, let’s talk while walking. Another piece of news: Luoluo’s first love, Zhu Jiangyu, is chasing after Yu Na, haha..., surprising, isn’t it?" Xing Nong said with a laugh and a wink, looking absolutely asking for a beat-down.

"Cut it out, what first love, what we had doesn’t even count as love." Luo Ye said with a laugh: "I hope he gets what he wishes for."

"Let me think, what else..." Xing Nong suddenly slapped her forehead: "That’s right, before you were hospitalized you mentioned Professor Yu Wen was selecting assistants, right? It’s settled, the test will be held in the computer room this Friday.

The format of the exam has been announced too, answer on the spot, anyone who can’t answer leaves automatically, until the last three remain. They’ll get to be his assistants. Only two days left, Luoluo, you better hurry up."

"Have they defined the scope of the questions?"

"No." Xing Nong shook her head, looking a bit distressed: "It’s totally an open-ended exam, I have no idea where to even start."

Luo Ye patted her reassuringly: "This selection is essentially about the abundance of talent in the Computer Science Department, let’s just do our best. I’ll jot down some of the key issues that I can think of for you guys to cram at the last minute, just give it a try."

Xing Nong nuzzled Luo Ye’s arm with her head: "Luoluo, we really can’t do without you."

"Gross!" Yaoguang shuddered involuntarily.

...

After morning exercise, once the formation was dismissed, Luo Ye, Xing Nong, and Yaoguang hurried to catch up with Feng Tianzhi. Before they could speak, Zhan Hao joined by Liu Xingwu, Wu Zetian, and Yan Han also gathered around.

After listening to the detailed account from everyone, Feng Tianzhi pondered for a moment and turned to Wu Zetian and Yan Han: "You two have to ensure that what you’ve said is entirely true. Otherwise, I will definitely give you the severest punishment."

Yan Han spoke seriously: "Captain Feng, back when I was on the sports team, I was Su Dingfang’s rival. In terms of ability, I might have been slightly better than him. But he had better connections and was good at pleasing the leaders, so the team decided to focus on training him. That’s also why I retired to take the Military Academy entrance exam.

Even though he was designated as the key trainee in the team, everyone knew what was really going on, so he always resented me. He believes that if my level wasn’t so close to his, there wouldn’t be so much controversy.

So I’m certain that this was a deliberate setup by him, it’s totally his style. If I’ve wronged him and caused trouble for you, Captain Feng, I’m willing to leave the academy.

Also, this incident has completely dragged Wu Zetian down with me; regardless of the outcome, I request the school not to penalize him."

Wu Zetian huffed: "If the academy makes students leave without clearing up the matter, then being a Military Academy Student is not worth it to me. We, as soldiers, are not to be wronged without a fight."

Feng Tianzhi patted Wu Zetian: "No wonder Hang Menglin was unwilling to help you. She already has a bias against students from wealthy families, and with you giving her that attitude, it would be odd if she did help you."

"I..."

"Wu Zetian!" Luo Ye called out, stopping him. Wu Zetian’s lips moved, but he ultimately didn’t continue.

Feng Tianzhi waved his hands: "Alright, I’ll go investigate this matter right away. You all can go about your business."

With Feng Tianzhi’s reassurance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially Luo Ye and Zhan Hao who were familiar with the influence of the Feng Family. The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling that the issue would most likely be resolved well.

Luo Ye said with a playful smile to Zhan Hao: "Speaking of which, Zhan Hao, starting today, you have to pass on your family’s ancient techniques to me, without holding anything back."

"You mean?" Zhan Hao looked pleasantly surprised.

Luo Ye nodded with a smile: "Yes, a perfect happy ending."

"Thank you so much, I promise, I will make sure you will." Zhan Hao excitedly hugged Liu Xing and swung him around, then did the same with Wu Zetian. When he came in front of Yan Han, he hesitated for a moment before Yan Han took the initiative to hug him: "I will still compete with you in the future. I requested to be transferred to Team Five because I want to compete with you. But that’s only limited to studies and training, normally I still want to be good friends with you."

"Okay, let’s be good friends." Zhan Hao hugged him tightly, then released him, still with a silly smile on his face.

"What on earth are you guys talking about?" Xing Nong looked utterly confused, as if her head was full of question marks.

Zhan Hao took it upon himself to explain: "My aunt and uncle have finally reconciled after being apart for nearly twenty years, and all of this is thanks to Luoluo’s help."

Xing Nong quickly responded: "Congratulations, congratulations, we should have a big meal to celebrate."

The others also offered their congratulations.

"Xing Nong just can’t forget about food, no wonder your nickname is Qiu’er. Are you planning to eat until you become a round ball?" Zhan Hao scratched his head as he spoke: "But it’s not easy for us all to get together for a break."

"Tch, you’re still not admitting you’re dense. Isn’t New Year’s Day coming up soon? For sure we can take a day off then, both celebrating the holiday and having a gathering. That is unless you’re too stingy to spend the money."

Luo Ye remembered Wen Ke’s request and hastily said: "Why don’t we go to my grandpa’s house then? Everyone can go."

"Do we really need to? Let’s just have Zhan Hao treat us." Xing Nong wrapped her arm around Luo Ye’s: "Good Luoluo, let’s fleece Zhan Hao just this once."

Luo Ye was taken aback and then realized what was happening. She smiled and waved her hand to everyone: "You all go ahead, I need to whisper a couple of words to Qiu’er."

After the others were far away, Luo Ye looked at Xing Nong with a mischievous smile: "Qiu’er, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but Lu Lu said whoever causes trouble should sort it out themselves, and he refused anyone else’s help, so he blocked me from interfering.

And he also said, if you deliberately avoid going to the Wen Family and dodge him, he will come to the school. Honestly, I never saw such a side of him before, truly, appearances can be deceiving."

"Ah? And you still have the mood to laugh? Are you reveling in my misfortune?" Xing Nong pulled a long face and fretfully tugged at her hair: "What should I do, I’m a girl, how can he do this to me!"

"Hehe, you’d better think about how to convince that kid. He will definitely go to Grandpa’s house for New Year’s Day. Qiu’er, draft your speech well; just don’t sell yourself out so easily." After saying this, Luo Ye waved her hand: "Take your time to think, I’m off."

"Bad Luoluo." Xing Nong grabbed her at once: "Help me think of a solution, I’m almost worried to death."

Seeing Xing Nong looking like she was about to cry, Luo Ye stopped joking. "Qiu’er, it’s certain now that Lu Lu is actually a very mature kid. His demands seem quite domineering, but you can’t deny that he seems to be following his plan step by step.

So, my advice to you, don’t treat him like a child to fool around with. Have a proper talk with him, express your thoughts, whether to talk about it later or to settle things now. I believe he won’t make things difficult for you. On the contrary, I think he just wants a promise from you." She looked up and down at Xing Nong: "Our Qiu’er’s charm is quite big, and that kid doesn’t seem like a fickle-hearted person. Maybe Qiu’er has indeed found a gem."

"I’m two years older than him, I don’t want to marry someone younger than me, I really don’t." Xing Nong swung Luo Ye’s arm back and forth: "Never mind, you have to help me sort this out. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have met him, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have gotten to know him better, if it weren’t for you..."

Seeing Xing Nong stuck for words, Luo Ye laughed: "Are you saying if it weren’t for me you wouldn’t have kissed him? That doesn’t seem relevant, right?"

"Ugh, you know what I mean!" Xing Nong made a petulant face: "I don’t care anyway, you’re my backup, you have to help me sort this out."

Luo Ye looked at her seriously: "Tell me the truth, don’t you like him even a little?"

"That..." Xing Nong hesitated for a long time: "I haven’t really thought about it, honestly."

"Qiu’er, I suggest you not be too hasty in denying it. Think about it carefully and understand your heart, to avoid hurting others and regretting it later." Luo Ye put her arm around her shoulder: "There certainly is a way to reject him for you, but that kid is definitely stubborn. I’m afraid you’d regret it later, so I didn’t do that."
