Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1090: Chapter 644: Reunion

”Bro, why are you back so late, where did you go?”

”Bro?”

”Bro!”

Luoyang’s increasingly louder calls finally brought Luoshui back to his senses, and he affectionately patted his sister on the head: ”Yangyang, what are you calling me so loudly for, what’s up?”

”What were you thinking about so intently? I’ve called you so many times, and just now you reacted?” Luoyang said, her eyes turning red.

Luoshui quickly wrapped his arms around his sister to comfort her: ”I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I was just thinking about work and didn’t hear what Yangyang said, don’t be mad, be good...”

Luo Dongping glanced at the siblings, his lips moved, but Qiu Ya shot him a look, causing him to change what he wanted to say: ”Shuishui, Yangyang, come and eat quickly!”

Seeing his sister still looking aggrieved, Luoshui smiled ingratiatingly: ”Yangyang, let’s eat first, after dinner I’ll chat with you for a bit, okay?”

Luoyang pouted and snorted, coquettishly saying, ”Carry me over!” Luoshui obediently wrapped his arms around his sister’s waist and picked her up: ”Alright, carrying our little baby to eat, but you need to eat more, you’re too skinny, it’s like carrying a child...”

Luoyang nodded her little head happily: ”Alright, since brother’s doing well today, I’ll eat... 100 grains of rice tonight!”

Luoshui’s smile froze on his lips, eat... 100 grains of rice, how... how is that any different from not eating more?

”Bro, 100 grains isn’t too little. Chen Luyu eats only 100 grains of rice in a meal and has kept it up for years. To succeed, you must sacrifice something. Brother, be happy.” As Luoyang spoke, she gave Luoshui a quick kiss on the ear, ”A reward for brother, okay?”

Luo Dongping and Qiu Ya exchanged a glance, their eyes full of worry and helplessness.

Because the elders didn’t approve of their union, back then, the two were determined to prove themselves, focusing mostly on their careers. Their daughter followed her brother from the age of three, and now she clings only to her brother, acts coy only with him, and isn’t very close to them.

The parents are, of course, happy that the siblings have a good relationship, but the daughter’s dependency on her brother is a bit excessive. What if one day her brother has a girlfriend...? The couple didn’t dare to think too deeply.

”Dad, mom, it’s time to eat.”

After sitting down, Luoyang politely greeted her parents.

Qiu Ya quickly placed the vegetables in front of her daughter and grabbed a small bowl to count the grains of rice.

Luoshui looked at his sister’s thin body, feeling truly sorry, so he encouraged: ”Yangyang, have a bun, just for one meal, it’s okay.”

After hesitating for a moment, Luoyang nodded: ”Okay, for brother’s sake, I’ll have half a bun.” She stuck her tongue out playfully, ”If my dance teacher finds out I broke the rules, I’ll definitely get scolded.”

”Nobody will say anything, the teacher won’t find out.” Qiu Ya happily handed a bun to her daughter, ”Eat one, mom put in less oil, it’s fine.”

”No way, it’s training season now, and I have an important performance next month. I can’t gain even a little weight!” Luoyang refused firmly.

Qiu Ya’s expression dimmed slightly, Luo Dongping comforted his wife with a pat, and glared at his daughter: ”Your mom put in so much effort to make those buns, what’s so bad about eating half more?”

”Here!” Luoyang handed the phone to Luo Dongping.

”What for?”

”Call Teacher Sun, if she agrees to let me eat more, I’ll eat right away.”

”You... you child...”

Luo Dongping was so angry he couldn’t speak.

Luoshui rubbed his sister’s head: ”Yangyang, don’t be like that, the nanny went home today, mom cooked all this food, eat a bit more, give her some face, okay?”

Luoyang glanced at her brother, stared at the bun for a while, and finally relented: ”Alright, I’ll listen to brother, I’ll just run two more laps tomorrow.”

”That’s a good girl.” Luoshui rubbed his sister’s head again, ”By the way, I saw your Sister Ye’er today, she also asked me to tell you to eat more.”

Luoyang’s eyes widened with joy: ”Sister Ye’er is back? Brother, can you take me to see Sister Ye’er tomorrow?” Then she sighed, ”Ugh, too bad Sister Ye’er has a boyfriend, otherwise she’d make a great sister-in-law.”

Luoshui tapped his sister with chopsticks, ”You can’t say things like that in front of Sister Ye’er, it’ll make both of us awkward.”

”I know...” Luoyang giggled, ”You think I’m that silly?”

Qiu Ya and Luo Dongping’s worry deepened as they looked at each other. After dinner, the siblings cozied up in a corner of the sofa, whispering to each other while the couple exchanged glances and went back to their bedroom.

”Xiaoya, you should talk to Shuishui, if we keep spoiling Yangyang like this, sigh!” Luo Dongping sighed heavily, ”Yangyang is too sensitive, and she’s still so young, we can only talk to Shuishui, ask him to be cautious.”

Qiu Ya thought for a moment: ”Better you talk, Shuishui’s grown so much, it wouldn’t be right for me as his mom to bring up such things.”

”Okay, once Yangyang heads to her room, I’ll go find Shuishui.”

”Shuishui’s a sensible kid, you need to keep your temper in check, don’t get riled up and ruin everything with a few careless words.”

”I know, do I seem that unreliable?” Luo Dongping sighed again, ”But I do agree with what Yangyang said earlier, if Luo Ye could be with our Shuishui, wouldn’t that be great?”

”Stop dreaming in broad daylight, Luo Ye isn’t someone our kind of family can even hope to match with. Besides, you haven’t noticed that Yangyang said that because she’s clear that Luo Ye can’t and won’t be with Shuishui.

I don’t want to overthink Yangyang’s feelings for Shuishui, but Yangyang’s reliance on Shuishui is our fault. Let’s hope that addressing it now isn’t too late.”

...

At the same time, at the Luodong Luo Family, the scene was one of great joy. Luo Ye’s sudden return made Wen Xin, Luo Zhenggang, and Old Master Luo particularly happy.

The young Dongdong, who had grown into a half-grown boy, brought his award certificates from the past six months to Luo Ye, staring at her with eager eyes, wearing an expression that said, ”Praise me, praise me.”

Luo Ye playfully pinched his nose, ”Not bad, better than Sister Ye’er. When Sister Ye’er was in middle school, she didn’t win as many awards.”

”How can I compare to Sister Ye’er...” The little guy suddenly turned serious, ”My goal is to study hard and become Sister Ye’er’s junior one day.”

”Alright, I’ll be waiting.”

Sister Li hesitated for a while before mustering up the courage to step forward, ”Dongdong, stop bothering Miss Ye’er and hurry back to your room to do your homework.”

Realizing his suddenness, Dongdong blushed and looked at Luo Zhenggang and Wen Xin, ”Uncle Luo, Aunt Wen, I...”

Wen Xin interrupted him, ”Dongdong, we’ve told you, just treat this place as your own home. Your uncle and I like you just the way you are.”

”Then I’ll go back to my room and do my homework first, and once I’m done, I’ll come back out to play with Sister Ye’er.” Dongdong gleefully ran back to his room.

”Governor, madam...” Sister Li looked apologetically at Luo Zhenggang and Wen Xin, unsure of what to say.

Luo Zhenggang waved his hand at her, ”Sister Li, don’t keep the child too restrained, this way is just fine.”

”Thank you, Governor, thank you, madam!” Sister Li gratefully looked at Luo Ye, ”Miss Ye’er, I...”

Luo Ye interrupted her with a smile, ”Sister Li, you take care of Grandpa and my parents, you don’t owe me anything.”

Old Master Luo chuckled as well, ”Indeed, Sister Li, it’s all mutual. When you keep this house in order, Zhenggang and Wen Xin have less to worry about, it’s all about helping each other. Don’t always see yourself as an outsider.”

”Yes!” Sister Li replied happily and returned to the kitchen to continue her work.

Wen Xin held her daughter tightly, ”Can you stay one more day?”

”Don’t hold back the child.” Although Luo Zhenggang said this, there was a faint expectation in his eyes. With both his son and daughter away, he didn’t say it, but he was anxious in his heart.

Luo Ye nodded, ”Alright then, I’ll keep Grandpa and Mom company a bit longer. I’ll take the night flight back.”

”Ahem!” Luo Zhenggang coughed forcefully.

Luo Ye pretended to play dumb, ”Dad, is your throat not well? Do you want Sister Li to stew some pears?”

”No need, my throat just feels a bit itchy...” Luo Zhenggang said as he coughed again, accidentally worsening it, and his throat actually started itching, causing him to cough repeatedly.

”Go comfort him!” Wen Xin amusedly pushed her daughter lightly, ”Your dad’s becoming more like a child as he gets older, even getting jealous now.”

Luo Zhenggang uncomfortably defended, ”Who...cough...who’s getting jealous? Cough...”

”Dad, Mom’s just teasing you. Look at you, coughing like this, let Sister Li stew some pears with rock sugar. Sister Li, cut and stew two pears, please.”

”Alright, Miss Ye’er, I’ll stew them right away.”

Sister Li’s responding voice had a hint of laughter.

Luo Zhenggang gave his daughter an unnatural look, ”I said no need to stew, my throat’s just itchy, a couple of coughs and it’ll be fine.”

”I know, but drinking some pear soup is good for you.” Luo Ye affectionately wrapped her arms around her dad’s neck, ”Dad, if you miss me just say so, I won’t laugh at you. Why make it so hard on yourself?”

”Who...who misses you?”

”If you don’t miss me, why are you coughing?”

”My throat’s itchy!”

”Really?”

”Of course, it’s true!”

”Alright then, tomorrow I’ll go out with Grandpa and Mom and won’t come to see you.”

”No way!”

”Why?” Luo Ye mischievously smiled, ”Since you don’t miss me, it doesn’t matter if I see you or not, right?”

”Who said I don’t miss you?”

”Hahaha...”

Grandpa Luo and Wen Xin both laughed together—someone’s dad finally got tangled up by someone’s daughter!
