Chapter 9495: Looking for Trouble/Cross-Practice

  "Teacher Yu, wait a minute."

  Yu Qing turned her head to look at the little girl who was running over hastily, a hint of a smile floating on her lips. She had researched every student in Class 3, Grade 3 beforehand, and this student's rapid improvement in grades was astonishing, possibly making her one of the students with the most potential in the class. That's why she paid special attention to her when calling out names, naturally recognizing her.

  "Luoye, what's up?"

  "Teacher Yu, I'd like to swap seats." Luo Ye directly stated her request, not bringing it up in class for the sake of the head teacher's dignity, and not going to the office was because she didn't want this matter to spread far and wide. Some teachers' gossiping hearts were no less than those of students; otherwise, how would Yang Xing's identity have been known by his classmates so quickly? Today in class, she vaguely heard several classmates envy her for sitting at the same table as the secretary's son.

  Yu Qing's face was filled with confusion: "Why? The teacher had thought that this seating arrangement might cause some controversy among the students, but never expected it to be you. Yang Xing's grades, excluding school regulations, are among the top three in the class. Sitting at the same table as him is probably something many classmates would eagerly desire, so why wouldn't he want to?"

  "Let's go over there, Teacher Yu," seeing some classmates peeking over, Luoye pulled Yuqing towards a secluded small flowerbed near the office.

  Led by Luo Ye's soft little hand, Yu Qing's lips curled up with a smile. She had roughly understood the situation of each student from her previous teacher, and Luo Ye was one of the most controversial students. Except for Teacher Yang, everyone else thought Luo Ye was timid and weak, and couldn't understand how his grades suddenly improved, with a tone that was full of suspicion. Now it seems that Teacher Yang's understanding of this child should be the most correct.

  After stopping in her tracks, Luo Ye looked at Yu Qiong with a pitiful expression: "Teacher Yu, I believe you also understand my situation. Yang Xing's identity and grades are there for all to see. I really don't want to become the object of dislike for many girls as soon as I enter high school. Can you understand my feelings, Teacher Yu?" There was no other way; this was her only usable excuse.

  "You think a lot for your age." Yu smiled and shook his head: "But, is it worth giving up the opportunity to improve your grades faster just because of some girls' jealousy?"

  "It's worth it." Luo Ye nodded: "Teacher Yu, I'm not afraid of them, but I don't want to get involved in these boring things. My experiences in the first and second years of high school have made me deeply disgusted with this kind of thing."

  In the teacher's eyes, there was a hint of pity: "The teacher can understand your feelings, but I've seen the files from the provincial key schools, and Yang Xing's grades should be even higher than you imagined. In the third year of high school, having a deskmate who can help you will make things twice as easy, giving up such an opportunity is a pity."

  "Thank you for your kindness, Teacher Yu, but I think relying on oneself is better than relying on others." Luo Ye was naturally unmoved.

  A hint of difficulty flashed across the teacher's eyes, and after weighing it, he nodded: "Okay, since you insist so much, I won't persuade you anymore. Which class do you want to transfer to?"

  "Can I sit with Tang Luo?" Luo Ye asked tentatively, her small face bursting into a bright smile.

  "Let's go, next lesson is my formal class, I'll adjust it for you." Yu Qiong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

  "Thank you, Teacher Yu. I'll go back now." Yu Qing agreed so readily to let her and Tang Luo sit together, which was unexpected, too casual.

  ……

  "Luo Luo, did you and Yu Laoshi apply for a seat change?" Luo Ye had just moved out of the small flower pot when Ying Nu and Tang Luo came over.

  Luo Ye laughed and hugged the two: "Yes, Tang Tang guessed it right, Nono, how's the new class? Who's your deskmate?"

  "Liu Qi, originally the vice class leader of Class One." Ying Nu frowned: "It's really not suitable, several times almost took him for Luo Luo."

  Tang Luo joked: "I say Nono, you wouldn't want a same-table love affair, would you?"

  "Get out, what's with the love for your deskmate?" Xie Nu rebuked Tang Luo, who was secretly checking out Luo Ye's expression, his guilty and cute appearance was unbearable.

  Luo Ye deliberately stared at Tang Luo and said, "Tang Tang, this is my future sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense."

  "Really? Lolo, you're being biased. Why is Nono the future sister-in-law and not me? No way, I'm going to compete with Nono for the position of future sister-in-law." Tang Luo said while sneaking a glance at Ying Nuo.

  "Lolo, see that? Tangtang likes our brother, hurry up and play matchmaker, can't miss a good marriage."

  "Nonsense, it's just one class and you've already fallen in love with someone else?" Tang Luo said seriously, propping up his forehead: "I'm so worried, too unstable. How could I find a girlfriend who is not dedicated? It's better to be me, Luoluo, let's swap your sister-in-law for me, absolutely loyal."

  Xing Nu raised her small head: "Die Tangtang, you're asking for a beating. Don't think that just because you're close to Luo Luo now, you can take my place. Hmph, your provocation is useless."

  "So you're admitting that you're Lolo's future sister-in-law?" Tang Luo's eyes gleamed with a sly excitement, while Xiao Nuo, realizing he had been tricked, punched him in the head: "You just like to bully me!"

  "I'm done messing with you, I haven't even asked the main question yet." Tang Luo turned his gaze to Luo Ye: "Luo Luo, has Teacher agreed to adjust the seating arrangement?"

  "Really? Did you promise?" Ying Nuo also looked at Luo Ye with eager eyes.

  Luoye deliberately let out a sigh and didn't speak for half a day. Tangluo and Yingnuo's faces fell, and they said, "See, the class teacher can't possibly agree to this either."

  Just as the two were comforting each other with words of condolence, Luo Ye smiled and nodded: "I agree"

  "You're dead, you're dead, you naughty Lolo, how dare you tease us!" The two who were tricked pounced on Luo Ye to scratch her, still shouting "Just you wait, I'll scratch you to death!"

  "Lolo, it would be great if we could switch tables. Sitting with Princess Rong is really depressing." Tang Luo's small face scrunched up in distaste: "She really does think she's a princess."

  "If you keep wishing, it might just come true. Hurry up, we have class." Luo Ye pulled the two of them to quicken their pace, while Xing Nu muttered discontentedly: "If only I had studied science properly, I wouldn't be in this situation today."

  Lu Ye laughed and slapped her palm: "What's going on?"

  "The fate of those who have no family or relatives."

  Lu Ye: "......"

  Tang Luo suddenly slapped his forehead: "Luo Luo, did you just mean that Teacher Yu agreed to let me and you sit at the same desk? Is that right?"

  "Who knows if it's true or not, I'm just guessing."

  "That's great, I can tell from your tone that Teacher Yu agreed. Haha..."

  "Tang Tang, are you deliberately showing off in front of me? Ugh, you've taken my spot again." Xie Nu started to sulk once more.

  ……

  In the second class, Yu Qing didn't mention changing seats and his gaze never fell in Luo Ye's direction. After the bell rang, he quickly left the classroom with his books, as if escaping from something.

  Luo Ye's eyebrows furrowed, looking at Yang Xing with suspicion. This guy seemed normal, without any shameless harassment towards her, but if she said this matter had nothing to do with him, she wasn't too convinced either. As the class teacher, how could his words not count?

  "Luoye, is there anything I can help you with?"

  Luoye really wanted to punch that smiling face, no need to ask, his confident appearance had already explained everything, thinking that even Teacher Yu didn't dare disobey the leader's reminder.

  Tang Luo rushed over to pull up Luo Ye and walked away, arriving at a deserted corner, hastily asking: "What's going on? Didn't you say that Teacher Yu agreed? I've been waiting for a whole class."

  Luo Ye's eyes gleamed with a cold light: "Indeed, I promised. I think that when I left the classroom, Yang Xing had already guessed what I was going to do. With just one text message or phone call, he could have resolved everything before me, right?"

  Tang Luo's face turned red with anger: "How can he be so despicable? Originally, I said you were just a little bean sprout who hadn't opened your heart yet and that's why you rejected him. Now I take it back, this kind of person is absolutely not worth having, too disgusting!"

  It's clear that Uncle Luo is not as powerful as his father, and even if he wanted to suppress him, there's no way he could. That's why he resorted to this method. Can you believe his dad would do something so shameless for the sake of his son? After a moment of contemplation, patting my head: "But from what I know, the Yang family has a lot of connections and shouldn't be doing something so stupid... Is there something else Luo is hiding from us?"

  "No, I didn't deceive you, but there's one thing I just found out, the Yang family is actually interested in my maternal grandfather's influence, that's why they would do something so shameless. Of course, in their opinion, this isn't shameless, it's just creating an opportunity for both sides to get closer. I'm sure my parents wouldn't dare say anything about it, this must be what they're thinking."

  Tang Luo was stunned: "Your grandfather? Which family?"

  "Tang Tang, this is a long story, I'll tell you when I have time. For now, I'm going to go ask Teacher Yu about the situation. If he wants to play games with me, I'll play along till the end."

  "Alright, Lolo hurry up and go, I'll support you." Tiantian grasped Luoye's small hand tightly: "If you need any help, just let me know, at worst I'll go ask Grandpa."

  "Thank you." Luo Ye was moved to hug Tang Luo tightly, and her words carried significant weight. Although the Tang family wasn't one of the six major families, their power in the business world shouldn't be underestimated.

  It can be seen from some ordinary things that Tang Luo is very favored by her grandfather. She can say this, which means she really cares about this friend. This makes Luo Ye feel more convinced that telling the truth to the other party is correct. She didn't want to lose this friend because of trust issues, so she chose to tell the truth. Now it seems that she has made a good bet.

  ……

  "Yè ér, xiǎo yè, xī kè, xī kè, kuài qǐng jìn." Seeing Luo Ye and Ye Xuan appear at the door, Wang Liqing's eyes clearly wrote two words: doubt.

  "Sorry to disturb you, Auntie. I really need to talk to Uncle and Auntie about something. By the way, is Uncle back yet?"

  "They're back! And Xingxing is playing chess in the study." Wang Liqing shouted loudly towards the study while brewing tea: "Old Yang, Xingxing, Xiao Ye and Ye Er are here, hurry up and come out!"

  The study door opened immediately, and Yang Song walked out with a smile: "Xiao Ye, Ye Er, welcome."

  "Sorry to disturb you, Uncle Yang." Luo Ye smiled and replied. Ye Xuan nodded expressionlessly, while Yang Xing, who was following behind Yang Songping, had an even darker face: "Mr. Ye, can't my father's greetings even get a response from you?"

  "Mayor Yang, you should be very clear about why I'm here, right?" Ye Xuan's lips curled up, and he stretched out his long arm to wrap around Luo Ye: "The relationship between Ye Er and me, you all witnessed it with your own eyes yesterday. How can you still make that kind of move? Isn't it a bit beneath your dignity?"

  "Xiao Ye, what do you mean? I'm not quite clear." Yang Song looked at Ye Xuan with a puzzled expression, which didn't seem to be fake.

  Ye Xuan smiled faintly: "Then let Mr. Yang tell you himself, lest we be accused of being biased."

  "Xing Xing, what have you done?" Yang Song's gaze fell on his son.

  Yang Xing's face turned bright red, and his eyes looking at Luo Ye were filled with sadness. He never thought that Luo Ye would expose him in this way. Did she really dislike him that much? But why?

  "Xing Xing!" Yang Songping shouted angrily: "What have you done, hurry up and say it!" His son's expression told him that he was not wronged.

  "Keep your voice down, can't you talk about it calmly?" Wang Lijiang sat beside her son with a pained heart: "Xingxing, don't be anxious, no matter what you've done, Mom will support you."

  "A doting mother spoils the child." Yang Songping's face was filled with anger, he had hoped that his son would win Luo Ye over, but instead the other party had come to their doorstep, it was really too humiliating.

  "I didn't do anything, I just found Uncle Yuan and asked him to help arrange for me and Luo Ye to sit at the same table." Yang Xing's gaze turned to Luo Ye: "Luo Ye, I want to know, why do you dislike me so much? This feeling, I've had it for a long time, but I didn't dare think deeply about it, even comforting myself that it might be an illusion.

  But your behavior today shows that it's true, sitting at the same table as me doesn't mean anything, you don't like me and can just ignore me, there's no need to go find a teacher or parents and insist on driving me away from your side, unless someone is extremely disgusted with another person, they wouldn't do something like this.

  "It was I who asked her to do so." Ye Xuan looked at Yang Xing with a calm expression: "From the moment she accepted my ring, I made it clear to Yexi that she couldn't associate with boys who had intentions towards her. I admit I'm quite chauvinistic, but Yexi is too young, and I can't possibly guard her every day. Being strict with her is the safest way; I don't want some young whippersnapper to deceive my fiancée."

  Yang Songping's mouth twitched, and upon comparison, he felt that his son was not being unreasonable. His son was right; if you don't like it, just ignore him. This guy was going too far, almost to the point of stipulating that Luo Ye wasn't allowed to talk to anyone of the opposite sex. He wanted to retort, why not send Luo Ye to an all-girls school? That would be safest.

  Yang Xing let out a deep sigh: "Luo Ye, are you really willing to be controlled by such a man?"

  "He didn't control me, did he? And I think his rules aren't that bad either."

  The corner of Ye Xuan's mouth curled up, and Xiao Yatou's expression was just like a small pine ball, so innocent that those who didn't know would really think she was extremely well-behaved.

  "Alright, I understand. Tomorrow, I'll get Uncle Yuan to call Teacher Yu, and you can adjust the seating arrangement as you wish." Yang Xing looked at Ye Xuan: "However, what I want to tell you is that this compromise is because I don't want to make Luo Ye uncomfortable, not because I'm afraid of you."

  Besides, I won't give up. If you're worried, just stay by Luo Ye's side every day." After finishing speaking, he got up and returned to his own bedroom.

  "Xiao Ye, Xing Xing has already done this, are you satisfied now?" Wang Liqing's face looked very bad, when had her son ever suffered such humiliation? She didn't think her son was wrong at all, using some means to seize the opportunity was completely normal.

  "It's okay, we won't bother you anymore." Ye Xuan stood up with Luo Ye: "Mayor Yang, I wronged you just now, and I apologize to you. However, I hope you can have a good talk with your son. Some things are not just about persistence. Ye Er is my person, whoever wants to take her away will have to be prepared for the consequences. By the way, you can ask around about my character, so that you won't regret it later."

  "Husband, he... isn't he being too overbearing?" Wang Licheng stared at the tall figure embracing Luo Ye as they walked out, her eyes wide with shock.

  "It's indeed domineering, but he also has the qualifications to be domineering. I had Old Master Yang investigate his background today..." Yang let out a deep sigh: "As long as he truly wants to get Luo Ye, Xing Xing is absolutely no match for him. Actually, I had Xing Xing play chess with me just to take the opportunity to talk to him. If not, then I'll just give up. That person was right, some things aren't something you can achieve just by being persistent."

  Wang Lijing wiped away tears: "It's all because of you, previously when our son was trying to find a way to pursue Luo Ye, he ended up getting hurt, and now this has happened. Alas, I still think Xiao Yang is good."

  Luoye is indeed prettier than Xiaoyang, and her background is also more impressive. However, if my son were to marry her, I'm afraid he would have to cater to her for the rest of his life. If it's Xiaoyang, she will definitely follow my son's lead for the rest of her life. As a mother, all I want is for my son to be happy."

  "Your hair is long, but your vision is short. Weren't you also very stubborn and disobedient before we got married? What about now?" Yang Xing glared at his wife: "I'm warning you, don't talk like this in front of our son. As a member of the Yang family, family interests are above all else, do you understand?"

  "Aren't you going to say another sentence? The woman you like can be kept outside, don't think I don't know what you're doing, it's just that I'm not willing to expose you." Wang Lijiang wiped her face: "Forget it, at this age, I'm too lazy to argue with you about these things."

  Yang Song waved his hand: "Don't bother with this woman's nonsense, come up and follow the neurosis, I'd better go and persuade my son."

  Wang Lijian smiled bleakly: "Heh... is that so? Then what's the hurry to leave?"

  "Beyond comprehension"

  ……

  The dim light stretched the shadows of the two people, Luo Ye felt a bit uneasy and cleared her throat again. Ye Xuan chuckled lightly: "Are you thirsty or catching a cold?"

  "Nothing, Night Brother, thank you, but... " Luo Ye hesitated for a moment: "I want to mention a small opinion, that is... can we be a bit more subtle when speaking in the future?"

  "Shy a bit?" Ye Xuan looked at Luo Ye's face, which was flushed with embarrassment: "Did what I said make you blush?"

  "Yes" a certain Ye very frankly acknowledged, anyway this man was clever to the point of being scary, so she didn't pretend anymore.

  "But if I don't say that, he'll still harass you later. Let me help, isn't it to cut off his escape route? Did I misunderstand?" Ye Xuan slapped his forehead in distress: "I understand, Ye Er's heart still hopes Yang Xing will pay more attention, otherwise I'll go back and explain."

  "Come back!" Luo Ye hastily pulled the other person, her small face twisted: "You clearly know I didn't mean it that way, is bullying me fun? Are you proud just because you're handsome? Can your good family background make you look down on us like weeds?..." Gan Ye's voice was incoherent as she scolded the other person, tears streaming down her face, and eventually became sobbing uncontrollably.

  "Yèr, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't cry, don't cry. If Uncle and Aunt saw this, they would think I bullied you. Be good, it's all my fault, I'm the one who's not good, I spoke nonsense. Otherwise, you can hit me to vent your anger?" Ye Xuan was at a loss for a moment, coaxing a girl for the first time, but didn't understand which sentence went wrong and caused such a big reaction?

  "What's the point of hitting you? You're as hard as a piece of iron, it doesn't even hurt. That certain Ye was sniffling and choking back tears, this cry could be called being so angry she's ashamed, she had been very confident since coming back, but in the end she still had to rely on Ye Xuan to solve things, her self-esteem was wounded."

  "What's wrong with that? Or should I hit myself?" Ye Xuan continued to coax: "It's just that look is a bit silly, if you don't know, you'd think I'm crazy, right?"

  "Do you think you're invincible?" Luo Ye said, only to realize she had spoken out of turn and quickly covered up: "If you want to get forgiveness, teach me a few killer moves."

  "Alright, what trick do you want to learn?" Ye Xuan let out a breath of relief. As long as there was room for negotiation, it was better than anything else. This would be enough to make him return with a red face, or else Jiang Zheng would eat him alive!

  "Never mind, let's not learn the ultimate move for now. Why don't we spar for a bit and you can give me some guidance when necessary?" Luo Ye suggested after thinking for a moment.

  "Just you, with that small body of yours, what if I knock you down with one punch? How can we even practice?" Ye Xuan looked at Luo Ye, finding it somewhat amusing.

  "Cut it out, can't you just hold back a bit? I'm absolutely not your opponent, but aren't you supposed to be guiding me? It's not like we're competing in a life-or-death match. Geez, why do you have to come at me so strongly all of a sudden?" Certain Ye muttered and grumbled as he led the way to the playground, while Ye Xuan, who had been looked down upon, smiled wryly, unsure of who was helping whom or who owed what to whom.

  "Yè ér, I'll try your strength first, so as not to hurt you." Yè xuān stood up straight and stretched out his hand: "Let's arm-wrestle, and we'll see who wins."

  "Alright, let's start. You attack me."

  At this time, a certain leaf felt very embarrassed. She used all her strength to eat milk, but others just brushed it away with ease. It seems that she was still somewhat arrogant, and this legendary baby was indeed not ordinary.

  It's been delayed again, it seems like it's going to be late again...
