Chapter 38: Zhu Zhuqing's Plan, a Strange Sense of Déjà Vu

After teasing them for a while, Luo Ye, thinking it over, gave a slight nod and agreed.

"Alright, if we have such plans, we'll tell you."

Hearing that, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu both let out a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.

Phew, phew, Luo Ye hasn't noticed anything odd; as long as we don't expose the existence of the diary copy, there's no problem.

After parting with Luo Ye and returning to the dormitory, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu were still a bit happy, but the suddenly jumping diary copy that followed let them know they had been too happy too soon.

The two girls glanced at each other and simultaneously opened the diary copy to look.

【Today I gained an unexpected harvest: Xiao Wu's attitude seemed to have loosened; when I told Zhu Zhuqing that we might leave later, she actually agreed, saying she wanted to go with us.】

【Although this is exactly my purpose for staying at Shilaike Academy, I always feel something is off; logically, Xiao Wu should now only want to follow Tang San.】

【Could it really be because I first saw Dai Mubai taking the twins to the Rose Hotel, then discovered Ma Hongjun's true nature as that evil fire grass chicken, and also learned that the dean Flandre is scheming against us students, which made me think of leaving?】

【Upon reflection, perhaps there's some truth to it; after all, Shilaike Academy behaves like a makeshift troupe, utterly unreliable, and before being suppressed and tamed, anyone who isn't foolish will inevitably have the thought of leaving.】

【I don't know if it's because, after my rebirth, I didn't leave as I did in my previous life, causing everything to deviate from its original course.】

【For now I can't be sure what's going on; let's wait and see.】

Seeing Luo Ye develop some suspicion, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu felt their breath catch and their hearts start pounding wildly.

Xiao Wu looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a tense face and asked.

"Zhu Zhuqing, am I being too impatient? Luo Ye already feels something's off."

Zhu Zhuqing was also troubled, but seeing her flustered look, after thinking she still comforted her.

"Don't worry, you've also seen the new diary content, right? Although Luo Ye feels something's off, he hasn't suspected anything yet; as long as you restrain yourself a bit going forward, you won't be exposed."

Xiao Wu nodded firmly, then, as if thinking of something, asked.

"If I want to act more reasonably later and leave with you, I must get closer to Luo Ye, but he's already written in the diary that I should only want to follow Tang San now; what should I do?"

If it weren't for that sentence, she could freely approach Luo Ye.

But now Luo Ye has written that in the diary; if she still stubbornly ignores Tang San and actively approaches Luo Ye, wouldn't that easily expose her?

Moreover, if she doesn't build a good relationship with Luo Ye, she won't be able to later directly leave Shilaike Academy with them.

Faced with this dilemma, Xiao Wu's intelligence makes it hard to come up with a perfect solution.

After Zhu Zhuqing remained silent for a long time, she came up with a plan.

"If you don't mind, when I'm interacting with Luo Ye later, you can use the pretext of being with me to get close to him."

"At least this gives a reasonable explanation and won't make Luo Ye suspicious."

Xiao Wu thought it over, felt Zhu Zhuqing's plan was excellent, and directly nodded in agreement.

However, she didn't know that after saying that, Zhu Zhuqing's mood became even stranger.

Earlier she felt that helping Luo Ye get closer to Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong was odd, as if she were actively pushing Luo Ye into their arms.

Now letting Xiao Wu approach Luo Ye under her own banner makes this sense of déjà vu even stronger.

Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing indeed has no other alternative; after all, Luo Ye, as a reborn person, is overly sensitive in this regard.

One careless move risks exposing the existence of the diary copy.

To avoid this situation, she could only do this.

"Damn it, really too damn."

"I'm here sweating buckets from running, and you two have already started discussing with Luo Ye about leaving Shilaike Academy—really not enough of a friend."

Ning Rongrong was very angry.

But after silently blaming Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu a couple of times, she also grew more dissatisfied with Dean Flandre.

If it weren't for Flandre's clever trick of making him run twenty laps around the village, she would surely have tried every means to get close to Luo Ye.

As a result, now she can only watch Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu's performance helplessly, while she herself is exhausted like a dog.

Thinking that, Ning Rongrong stumbled on her feet, almost falling flat on her face.

Fortunately, her reaction was quick enough, and she ultimately steadied herself.

And this commotion also caught Oscar's attention ahead; Oscar turned back, looking concerned, and asked.

"How are you? Anything wrong? Want to rest a bit?"

Facing Oscar's trio of concern, Ning Rongrong gave him a fierce glare.

"Get lost."

In Ning Rongrong's heart, Oscar is already of the same ilk as Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun.

Especially since he knows Flandre will secretly follow yet doesn't warn her, it makes Ning Rongrong's impression of him hit rock bottom, to the point she can't even be bothered to maintain superficial friendliness.

As a notorious little witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, Ning Rongrong will behave a bit more obediently in front of Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong.

If someone else provokes him, the grudge-holding Ning Rongrong will surely find a chance to take revenge.

Because of Flandre's actions, Oscar has become the target of displaced anger.

Oscar, scolded with a sentence, was somewhat at a loss, not knowing what to say for a moment, so he obediently stepped aside, letting Ning Rongrong walk past him.

"This idiot, so impatiently wanting to get close to Luo Ye and leave with him—hasn't he considered what consequences exposing the diary copy would bring?"

Qian Renxue, inside the harem palace, upon seeing this new content, looked as if she hated iron for not becoming steel, and angrily scolded Xiao Wu.

In her view, even if Xiao Wu doesn't want to end up sacrificed like in her previous life due to Tang San's scheming, she shouldn't behave so extremely.

As the child of fate chosen by the will of the Douluo Continent's plane, who in her previous life nearly overthrew the rule of the God Realm, could such a Luo Ye be an idiot?

Obviously not.

Before Luo Ye, a reborn person, if any of us diary-copy holders show any abnormality, there's a high chance Luo Ye will sense something's off.

As a result, this Xiao Wu fellow is so impatient—where does she look like a human transformed from a soul beast with a hundred thousand years of cultivation?
