Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 322: Chapter 185: Reunion

”How do you know she is 17, huh?”

Ye Mo, who originally didn’t feel guilty, blushed like Guan Gong when questioned by Ye Qingzhu, stammering: ”I... I heard it from Ye Xuan.”

Ye Qingzhu stood up straight and stared at Ye Mo: ”Why would my brother mention Ye’er’s age for no reason? You must be harboring bad intentions towards Ye’er, and my brother warned you.”

”Brother Ye, don’t mind the instructor, take a seat.” Luo Ye moved a stool next to Ye Mo, giggling as she rummaged through a bag: ”Hehe..., potato chips, crispy rice, broad beans, canned food, cookies, soybean milk powder..., and a Mickey Mouse pillow? Brother Ye, are you buying snacks for kids?”

”I... I don’t know what you like, I asked the supermarket clerk, and she suggested I buy these.” Ye Mo looked embarrassed.

Ye Qingzhu stared at Ye Mo displeased: ”And you say you didn’t have bad intentions, knowing well that students are not allowed to keep snacks and toys during military training, yet you bought these?

Knowing it’s against the rules usually results from uncontrollable behavior, and you being unable to control your actions, isn’t that suspicious?”

”I... I was just feeling guilty for not having treated Ye’er well in the past.” Ye Mo suddenly realized, his plethora of reasons didn’t seem very justified—actually, he really just wanted to make amends.

”Listen, listen, even the way you address her has changed to Ye’er.” Ye Qingzhu clicked her tongue, full of disdain.

Ye Mo looked helplessly at Ye Qingzhu: ”You always call her Ye’er, and now you’ve influenced me, haven’t you?”

Luo Ye happily handed a packet of chips to Ye Mo: ”Brother Ye, the instructor is just teasing you, eat the chips. Since you bought them, let’s finish them today, so the instructor doesn’t have a hard time.”

”I’m a grown man, I shouldn’t be eating these things.” Ye Mo scratched his nose and thought: ”Qingzhu, I need your help with this, keep the snacks at your place. Whenever Ye’er wants to eat, she can go to your dormitory, isn’t that killing two birds with one stone?”

Ye Qingzhu’s expression turned serious: ”Tiger, you’re really up to no good. I warn you, Ye’er belongs to my brother, don’t you covet her.”

”Instructor!” Luo Ye pouted unhappily: ”You know very well what my relationship with Brother Ye is, don’t mislead others, alright?”

”Luo Ye...” Ye Qingzhu was incredulous: ”You... defend Tiger, and you don’t want Tiger to be misunderstood, what do you mean?”

”Sister Qingzhu...” Luo Ye sweetly clung to Ye Qingzhu’s arm: ”I didn’t mean anything else, I’m still young, I don’t belong to anyone. I’ve heard Uncle Jiang talk about Brother Ye’s matters before, I truly admire him, but you always lead it that way, isn’t it embarrassing for him?”

Ye Qingzhu glanced at Luo Ye lightly: ”What about my brother then?”

”Brother Ye, of course, is someone I admire. To me, he and Uncle Jiang are benefactors of my family! That’s why I wanted to join Team A, because, I really have no other way to repay them!”

Ye Qingzhu mumbled unclearly at the base of her throat: ”You could dedicate yourself to him, how can you not have a way to repay?”

”What?” Luo Ye blinked her eyes several times, okay, she admitted, she actually heard it clearly but just played dumb.

”Never mind, I forgive you.” Ye Qingzhu looked at Ye Mo: ”Tiger, letting Ye’er take up for you and not saying a word, you really are capable, aren’t you?”

”What can I say? Ever since I walked in, you’ve been picking on me, could I even argue?” Ye Mo grimaced with a bitter smile, and then mysteriously approached Ye Qingzhu: ”What exactly is going on between Luo Ye and your brother? I couldn’t get anything out of Boss Ye.”

”Nothing much, just that several of the Six Great Families think Ye’er is your brother’s future fiancée, and since Ye’er is also the Wen Family’s granddaughter, she’s temporarily shielding your brother. Think about it, isn’t every girl among these six families a bullet catcher?”

”I’m here too.” Luo Ye looked at the unreliable instructor and chief instructor. Is it right to discuss such matters in front of the person involved?

”I know you’re here, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.” Ye Qingzhu pulled out a can from the bag and handed it to Ye Mo: ”Help Ye’er open the lid.”

”I’m of age.” Ye’er looked utterly defeated.

Ye Qingzhu smiled and patted Luo Ye’s head: ”You’re of age at 16, but still half a year away from 18, you’re only really considered an adult after your coming-of-age ceremony, be good...”

Luo Ye looked disdainful: ”When you tease me, why don’t you mention that I’m not of age?”

”Ye’er, eat the canned food, it’s too heavy, let me help you hold it.” Ye Mo handed the spoon to Luo Ye, holding the large jar in front of her.
