CHAPTER 273: CHAPTER 157-158: CONFLICTED / GRADUATION_4

"Ye’er..." Song Xiaoyang’s voice was somewhat hesitant.

"What’s wrong? If you need any help, just ask Sister Xiaoyang." Luo Ye guessed her concerns and could only pretend to be oblivious with a cheerful tone.

"It’s nothing to do with needing help, I was just remembering... that... Did I talk nonsense yesterday? The embarrassing kind?"

"How should I put this? Basically, you just kept saying how much you like Yang Xing, you didn’t really say anything else. If you consider that embarrassing, then I guess it is?"

Clearly, the other party was embarrassed to ask that as well, hence the addition of ’The embarrassing kind.’ As both were clever people, Luo Ye naturally knew how to reassure her with heartwarming words.

"Ye’er, if I’ve ever done anything to make you dislike me, please forgive me. Being born into this kind of family really leaves me with no choice. Also, if my grandpa calls you, just say you’ve always been with me, okay?"

"No problem!"

"Ye’er, I was so envious when I heard you took a leave yesterday. I’ve never been able to go anywhere but the Yang Family without my family investigating thoroughly. Ye’er, you are blessed, Sister Xiaoyang truly hopes you can always be happy!"

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoyang will be happy too!"

"Maybe not anymore, once I get back, I’ll probably be engaged. Ye’er, you must hold tightly to the happiness you have in your hands, you must hold on!" Song Xiaoyang’s voice on the other end of the call became choked up: "Goodbye!"

Hearing the "du du" sound coming from the receiver, Luo Ye couldn’t help but sigh lightly, realizing she indeed was fortunate. Song Xiaoyang’s visit to the Yang Family was probably her family’s last ultimatum; if it didn’t work out here, they had to cast the net elsewhere. Judging from what she said, even her visits to the Yang Family were monitored by phone calls from home; truly no freedom at all!

...

The early morning in July, amidst the heat, carried a hint of coolness. The Second High School campus was filled with laughter and joyous singing everywhere. The college entrance exams were over, and today was the graduation ceremony for the senior third year. The juniors also basked in the excitement, all dressed up in their best.

"Luoluo, this time we’re really going to part ways." Ying Nuo’s eyes brimmed with tears as she clung to Luo Ye’s arm, her gaze filled with reluctance.

Luo Ye smiled and playfully flicked Ying Nuo’s nose: "Didn’t we agree? I’ll come back during the holidays. Look at you, you’re slipping back into old habits."

"I just can’t accept it. It’s certain that Xing Nong will be studying with you, and what irritates me is that Mo Yaoguang might too. Not me!" Ying Nuo stomped on her own thigh in frustration: "If I knew, I should have trained properly. If I had passed the physical, there would still be hope, right?"

"Enough, stop beating yourself up." Luo Ye laughed and pointed to Xing Nong and Mo Yaoguang coming their way: "Speak of the devil and he doth appear!"

"Is it Nuonuo bad-mouthing me again?" Xing Nong let go of Yaoguang and draped an arm over Ying Nuo’s shoulder: "I can tell by your expression, you’ve been talking behind my back again!"

"Not at all, I’m just jealous that you get the chance to study with Luoluo. As for me, I might face a completely strange environment and strangers."

"Girl, do you want me to predict whether you’ll face unfamiliar environments and people?" Mo Yaoguang reached out to tease Ying Nuo’s chin but was brushed off with a slap: "Step aside!"

After Tang Luo left, Xing Nong and Mo Yaoguang surprisingly became good friends. Gradually, Mo Yaoguang also started to accept Luo Ye and Ying Nuo, although she was always closer to Xing Nong. She maintained her habit of dressing as a boy and always referred to herself as "brother" when talking to them.

As everyone had guessed, Mo Yaoguang’s family had no male heirs. After Mo Yaoguang’s parents had her, Grandpa Mo, to save face, had her parents announce to outsiders that Mo Yaoguang was a boy.

Thus, Mo Yaoguang was raised as a boy, combined with the ideology instilled by her grandfather since childhood, she adamantly refused to acknowledge herself as a girl.

Or, fundamentally, she didn’t want to disappoint her grandfather, who adored her the most and had always introduced her as his grandson. She certainly, absolutely could not let her grandfather feel embarrassed or let down by her (a pair of wilfully ignorant grandfather and granddaughter).

Xing Nong was kind-hearted with a sense of chivalry and had deliberately gotten close to Yaoguang after learning of her situation. Ultimately, she managed to make Yaoguang lower her guard and accept her.

Having failed to tease Ying Nuo, a sheepish Yaoguang returned to Xing Nong’s side: "That was no fun, only our Xing Nong is good enough to go crazy with me."

"That’s right, only Xing Nong will entertain your craziness!" Ying Nuo deliberately distanced herself from them, her small face immediately crumpled: "I have no confidence in my scores, what should I do? Will I have to retake the year?"

"Enough already, you’re turning into Xianglin’s wife." Luo Ye scolded her with a slap on the back, this girl had been fretting non-stop since the exams ended, a never-ending worry. How come she hadn’t noticed how neurotic this girl could be before?

"Luo Ye!" The homeroom teacher Yu Qing called out from a distance.

Luo Ye waved to the others: "Go back to your own classes, see you soon!"

"Mr. Yu, what’s up?" Luo Ye smiled warmly at Yu Qing, she really liked this affectionate teacher.

Yu Qing hesitated for a moment: "Luo Ye, your teacher wanted to ask you, at today’s graduation ceremony, who from your family is coming?"

"My mom." Luo Ye answered and then suddenly realized, did Yu Qing know who her dad was?

"Then is it possible to have your mom speak as a representative of the parents?" Yu Qing quickly added after seeing Luo Ye’s reaction: "You are the student who’s improved the most in our class, starting from eighteenth in class and forty-sixth in the grade to third in class and eleventh in the grade.

Your rate of progress is unprecedented in our school’s history. So, the teacher would like to invite your mom to speak as a representative. Could you give her a call in advance?"

Luo Ye looked puzzled at Yu Qing: "Mr. Yu, weren’t the parent speakers for the other classes determined before the exams?"
