Diary—Chapter 38: Zhu Zhuqing's Plan, a Strange Sense of Déjà Vu
After deliberately teasing them for a while, Luo Ye nodded thoughtfully and agreed.
"Okay, if we have such plans, we will tell you."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu both breathed a sigh of relief, feeling grateful in their hearts.
'Fortunately, Luo Ye didn't notice anything unusual. As long as the existence of the diary copy isn't exposed, there will be no problem.'
After parting from Luo Ye and returning to the dormitory, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu still felt somewhat happy. However, the sudden appearance of the diary copy made them realize it was too early to feel completely at ease.
The two women looked at each other and opened their diary copies at the same time to read.

[Today I had an unexpected gain. Xiao Wu's attitude seemed to have softened. When I told Zhuqing that I might leave in the future, she agreed and said she wanted to go with us.]
[Although this was the purpose of my stay in Shrek, I always feel that something is wrong. Logically speaking, Xiao Wu should only want to follow Tang San now.]
[Could it be that she had the idea of leaving because she first saw Dai Mubai taking the twins to the Rose Hotel, then discovered Ma Hongjun's true identity as the evil fire chicken, and also learned that Flanders, the dean, was trying to target us students?]
[If I think about it carefully, maybe there's some truth to it. After all, Shrek Academy is just a makeshift team and is not reliable at all. Before being suppressed and tamed, anyone who isn't stupid would probably consider leaving.]
[I don't know if it's because I didn't leave like I did in my previous life after rebirth, which caused everything to deviate from its original course.]
[It's still uncertain what the current situation is. Let's wait and see.]

After reading Luo Ye's doubts, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu felt their breathing suddenly halt, and their hearts began pounding wildly.
Xiao Wu looked nervously at Zhu Zhuqing and asked,
"Zhuqing, am I being too anxious? Luo Ye already suspects something's wrong."
Zhu Zhuqing was also distressed, but seeing her panicked look, she thought for a moment and offered comfort.
"Don't worry. You've seen the new diary entries. Although Luo Ye suspects something isn't right, he still has no concrete evidence. As long as you restrain yourself next time, you won't be exposed."
Xiao Wu nodded vigorously, then asked as if she had thought of something,
"If I want to behave more reasonably and leave with you in the future, I must get closer to Luo Ye. But he already mentioned in the diary that I only want to follow Tang San now. What should I do?"
If he hadn't said this, she could have approached Luo Ye freely.
But now, Luo Ye's words in the diary created a dilemma. If she stubbornly ignored Tang San and took the initiative to get close to Luo Ye, wouldn't she risk being exposed?
On the other hand, if she didn't build a good relationship with Luo Ye, she wouldn't be able to leave Shrek with Zhu Zhuqing and the others in the future.
Faced with this dilemma, Xiao Wu found it hard to come up with a win-win solution.
After a long silence, Zhu Zhuqing finally proposed a plan:
"If you don't mind, when I'm with Luo Ye in the future, you can get close to him under the pretext of being with me."
"At least this provides a reasonable explanation and won't arouse Luo Ye's suspicion."
Xiao Wu considered this and felt Zhu Zhuqing's idea was very good, so she nodded and agreed.
However, what she didn't realize was that after saying this, Zhu Zhuqing's mood became even stranger.
She felt it was odd to help Luo Ye get closer to Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong—almost as if she was actively pushing Luo Ye into the other's arms.
Now that Xiao Wu was approaching Luo Ye under her name, this sense of déjà vu intensified.
But aside from this, Zhu Zhuqing truly had no other options. Luo Ye, as a reborn person, was too sensitive about such matters.
If she was careless, she risked exposing the existence of the diary copy.
To avoid that, she had no choice but to proceed this way.
'Goddamn it, this is frustrating.'
'I've been running here sweating profusely, and you two are already discussing leaving Shrek with Luo Ye. That's not nice of you.'
Ning Rongrong was quite angry.
But after secretly complaining about Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, her dissatisfaction grew even more towards Dean Flanders.
If it weren't for Flanders' cleverness in asking her to run around the village twenty times, she would have tried everything to contact Luo Ye herself.
Instead, she could only watch Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu's performances while she was exhausted like a dog.
Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong staggered and nearly fell to the ground.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough and finally managed to stabilize herself.
This noise also attracted Oscar's attention ahead. He turned around and asked with concern,
"Are you okay? Do you want to rest?"
Facing Oscar's expressions of concern, Ning Rongrong glared fiercely at him.
"Get lost."
In Ning Rongrong's heart, Oscar had long become just like guys such as Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun.
Especially since she knew Flanders was secretly following her but he didn't remind her, Ning Rongrong's impression of him plummeted. She was even too lazy to maintain superficial kindness with him.
As a renowned little witch of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong would behave more obediently in front of Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong.
If anyone else provoked her, the vengeful Ning Rongrong would find a chance to retaliate.
Oscar was angry about Flanders' behavior.
He was a little overwhelmed after being scolded. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only give way and let Ning Rongrong overtake him.
"This idiot— is she so eager to get closer to Luo Ye and leave with him? Has she never thought about the consequences of exposing the diary copy?"
Qian Renxue, in her room, saw this new development and angrily scolded Xiao Wu with disappointment.
In her opinion, even if Xiao Wu didn't want to be sacrificed like in her previous life, she shouldn't act so recklessly.
As the chosen son of destiny by the will of the Douluo Continent, Luo Ye nearly overthrew the rule of the God Realm in his previous life. Could such a person as Luo Ye be a fool?
Obviously impossible.
In front of Luo Ye— a reborn person— if the owners of the diary copies behaved abnormally, Luo Ye would likely notice something amiss.
As a result, Xiao Wu's impatience was unwise. How could she, as a 100,000-year-old soul beast transformed into a human, be so reckless?
