Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption-Chapter 78 - 67: Lost_2

"Yeah, who would’ve thought..." Ying Nuo got a poke from Luo Ye and quickly shut her mouth.

Teacher Yang’s voice came at the right moment: "Alright, the singing session ends here. What Luo Ye said is correct, even if we’re not in the same class anymore, we can still meet often, and help each other out with anything. So, let’s not create an atmosphere like we’re parting ways.

The real farewell will be a year from now, let the tears flow then. Now, let’s put the desks back to their original places. After I announce the midterm exam results, our class, Senior Year 2 Class 2, will officially be disbanded.

Remember to come to school on August 26th to check the class placement list. There will be four classes for the Science stream and two for the Liberal Arts, distributed on an S-curve balance based on the current results. If there are any questions after seeing the list, you can still come to me."

As expected, the top scorer this time was Wang Shanshan again, with Wang Feng in second place by just 0.5 points. Wang Feng truly cemented his position as the eternal runner-up.

Tang Luo and Ying Nuo ranked fifth and sixth, which was a considerable improvement. However, when Teacher Yang announced that Luo Ye came in tenth place, all eyes turned to her once more; she had given everyone too many surprises for one day.

When tallying the scores, Teacher Yang was also very surprised by Luo Ye’s improvement. This was the first time he had encountered a girl in Senior Year 2 making such rapid progress.

After announcing the results, Teacher Yang looked around: "Originally, I should be saying goodbye now, but just a moment ago, I suddenly decided to add an item. I’d like Luo Ye to come on stage and share her study secrets. Jumping from 27th to 10th place in two months, I believe everyone is interested to know, right?"

"Right!" The applause was thunderous. As Senior Year 2 students, academics were what they valued most.

Luo Ye shook her head helplessly; she didn’t expect Teacher Yang to pull such a stunt. After a moment’s thought, she went up to the podium and muttered softly, "Teacher Yang, this is embarrassing. A sneak attack is not like a good teacher."

Teacher Yang’s lips naturally curled up: "It’s your performance that suddenly inspired this idea in me. Go ahead, the eager looks from everyone show how interested they are in this matter!"

"Wow, wow, wow..." The students were indeed very cooperative.

Luo Ye smiled playfully: "Thanks for the applause, guys. If I say I have no secret, you might think I’m deliberately not telling. If I say I do, then I might be accused of lying.

But if I really think about it, it seems there is a secret, and that is confidence! Before, I was always hesitant and afraid to show off, enduring bullying in silence. Some things change in an instant once you think about it. Once you have confidence, everything gets better!"

"Wow, wow, wow..." This time, the applause, just like everyone’s expression, was earnest and enthusiastic. They remembered how Luo Ye used to be and believed what she said was true. It might not apply to others, but they applauded for her!

...

The car moved along the empty tree-lined road, with tall poplars rapidly receding on both sides. Luo Ye’s heart flew ahead to that picturesque small village—with hills that were really just large mounds of earth, and water that was actually just a small stream running alongside the village all year round.

The kind-looking Grandpa, the affable uncle, the short-tempered second uncle, the slightly petty aunt, and so many cousins with different temperaments. Familiar yet somewhat strange faces flickered before Luo Ye’s eyes, filling her with tumultuous excitement.

"Ye’er, excited?" Wen Xin looked at her daughter’s flushed cheeks and couldn’t help pinching them teasingly, "I’ve never seen Ye’er this happy about going back to our hometown before. You’re not missing the little dog, are you?"

"Mom, you’re so annoying. I miss Grandpa and my uncles and aunt. As for the little dog, that’s Dou Dou’s buddy!"

"Chirp, chirp!" Dou Dou chimed in with two barks, as nobody was home, naturally Dou Dou was brought along.

Wen Xin hesitated for a moment: "Ye’er, there’s something Mom hasn’t told you. When Dad called Grandpa, he said that the foxhound had been given away to someone else."

Luo Ye pouted: "Mom, you’re always kidding!"

Wen Xin seriously said, "I’m not kidding, we’re almost there, what would be the point of lying to you?"

"Ye’er, I can testify, Mom secretly told me about this!" Luo Feng quickly backed up his mother.

Luo Ye looked doubtfully towards her father, and Luo Zhenggang, who saw his daughter’s hopeful gaze in the rearview mirror, nodded. Unfortunately, Luo Ye couldn’t see the smile hidden in his eyes.

Knowing that her father never lied, Luo Ye suddenly felt unhappy: "How could Grandpa do this? He had promised and even said that I would get a reward for ranking tenth. Now, the original prize is gone."

"Ye’er, Mom said the same thing. But someone really liked that little foxhound, and Grandpa just couldn’t bear it and gave it away first. He said Ye’er could wait for the next litter."

"The next litter? When will that be?" Luo Ye hugged Dou Dou: "It’s said that cats birth in four and dogs in three, but my Dou Dou is the most reliable."

"Alright, when we get there, I’ll talk to Grandpa. Ye’er likes Dou Dou, and we don’t need to wait for the next litter!" Wen Xin hugged Luo Ye to comfort her: "Ye’er, you’re doing so well now, you don’t really care about a little dog."

"Grandpa is so deceptive, he even told me he got two, assuring me to not worry, saying he’d convince Dad to let me keep them!" Luo Ye felt so disappointed in her heart, having looked forward to it for so long, and suddenly, it was all for naught.

Luo Zhenggang’s mouth twitched, feeling so relieved. Two dogs? If his family ended up having to keep one bird and two dogs, cough cough...
