Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 537: Chapter 516: Who is the Person Behind the Scenes? (28)

”I think you’re just a pig, and he’s a pig farmer, which fits your idea perfectly,” Qin Nuan mercilessly struck.

However, Luo Qianqian simply pursed her lips. ”My biggest dream was to be a moocher who did nothing but eat and laze around and annoy people.”

”And now?” Qin Nuan raised her eyebrows in surprise, recalling that when Luo Qianqian had just returned, she had envisioned a whole bunch of plans for the future, wanting to be an actor, a teacher, and to travel the world...

”Now? I’ll be a moocher when my brother comes back. Right now, I need to take responsibility, the responsibility of being a good daughter and granddaughter.” Luo Qianqian smiled, ”It’ll be fine when my brother is back, then I won’t have to figure out so much anymore.”

”You’re not even trying to figure anything out now. You just go with the flow and only think when things force you to,” Qin Nuan bluntly revealed.

Luo Qianqian furrowed her brow. ”That’s not true...”

”Shangqi Club, Fang Rou, the ’spy’ in your class, and Elvis,” Qin Nuan counted meticulously with her fingers extended.

Luo Qianqian’s lips twitched slightly. Really? Did she still have so much to deal with?

”They are all good people, yeah.” Because they haven’t caused any trouble, Luo Qianqian added in her mind.

Qin Nuan said nothing but her understanding of Luo Qianqian’s thoughts was clear. She just twitched her mouth and gave no other reaction.

”Actually, when I think about it, it seems like ever since my brother left, all sorts of strange things have started happening,” Luo Qianqian said to herself, seeing that Qin Nuan was ignoring her.

That was indeed true. At home, the biggest issue they’d faced was her being kidnapped, and even then, the Boss ended up taking care of her. Was it that all the strange incidents that happened later were just because her surname was Luo?

The Han Family wasn’t causing trouble for the first time, and the only one she had a good impression of was her former classmate, Han Lei. She had no idea what he was up to now.

Luo Qianqian paused for a moment, then picked up her phone, scrolling through her contacts, but couldn’t find the number. She suddenly remembered that she had changed phones and hadn’t saved the numbers of people she seldom contacted.

Those who wanted to find her would contact her, and there was no need to keep the numbers of those who didn’t.

”Heaven tasks those it wishes to make great with hardship, wear their muscles and bones thin, and make their bodies suffer...”

”Stop, stop, stop, what great task is Heaven giving me? Could it really be something like saving the world?” Luo Qianqian said disdainfully, pursing her lips. The things she had experienced were beyond what normal people went through in a lifetime. Could it be a punishment for living too carefreely in her past life?

Thinking this, Luo Qianqian shuddered, disbelief on her face.

”Do you transform? To save the world, superheroes like Ultraman and Sailor Moon all transform, or do you have some kind of key or a treasure map?” Qin Nuan teased Luo Qianqian with a smile again.

Luo Qianqian fumbled in her pocket and pulled out a bunch of keys: ”I do have plenty of keys.”

Qin Nuan was somewhat exasperated. ”That’s enough of you.” But then she became serious again: ”I suspect you’re carrying a special treasure, causing ordinary people to spy on you.”

”You might as well just say that I carry a Nascent Soul and someone wants to kill me for it,” Luo Qianqian said dryly, shrugging as she stared at the dormitory building in front of her and paused hesitantly. ”Ah, it seems the more I understand some things, the less I know how to face them.”

Qin Nuan was taken aback, managing a wry smile, ”Just don’t be too intimate with anyone, act normal, and don’t overthink it.” She herself didn’t know how to face it either.

Luo Qianqian nodded, took a deep breath, and still proceeded on her way back to the dormitory.

After the two returned to the dorm, there was no awkwardness because except for Cong Rong, there was no one else in the room.

Qin Nuan casually handed a milk to Cong Rong: ”You are so calm.”

Cong Rong looked up from her book: ”Otherwise? Should I be like you guys? Don’t have too many expressions, just smile if you don’t know what to say.”

Luo Qianqian was startled, was Cong Rong reminding her?

”Her laugh is too fake,” Qin Nuan sighed. ”Go to sleep quickly, lie down and sleep.”

Then she pushed Luo Qianqian to wash up, looking at Cong Rong, ”You noticed it too?”

Cong Rong nodded, ”Very deliberate.”

Qin Nuan said that it made no sense for Cong Rong not to notice, also sighed softly, ”A lot has happened recently.”

Cong Rong took out her phone, ”I know, don’t think too much.” She then typed on her phone, her face wearing a smudge of a smile, and it was a long while before she said, ”Pretend to be ignorant if you understand, play dumb then.”

”...Then you think...”

”We are just spectators, at most supporting characters, merely playing victims,” Cong Rong sighed. ”Qianqian is still young, don’t let her think too much.”

Qin Nuan fought the urge to roll her eyes, tugged at the corner of her mouth, was asking Luo Qianqian not to think useful? This wasn’t just some naughty kid, was it?

”I just thought of a problem.” Luo Qianqian, having finished washing up, stood in front of Cong Rong’s bed, ”Aren’t we supposed to brush our teeth after drinking milk at night?”

Cong Rong and Qin Nuan didn’t know what kind of expression to make, was this the issue you were pondering over?

”This is... Breakfast,” Cong Rong said, put down her book, settled in, and looked unwilling to talk.

Qin Nuan also wondered if she should dig out Luo Qianqian’s brain to see if it was composed of ninety percent water? Maybe sun it a bit before stuffing it back?

Luo Qianqian, however, said nothing more, holding the newly bought water, climbed onto the bed, and lay in the quilt, her expression then turned cold again.

Qin Nuan and Cong Rong’s conversation, she had heard it all. She really didn’t know what to say.

But Cong Rong was right, they were just spectators, supporting characters, the main character was her, but until now, she had only realized who the bought-off people around her were, and those were just deliberately exposed pitfalls.

Earlier Cong Rong had said ’she doesn’t have the guts to really do anything’. It implied that the previous incidents were minor squabbles that wouldn’t lead to any severe consequences. Now being so deliberate, could it mean that, because she couldn’t guarantee the outcome of the incidents to come, she had revealed her identity?

The incidents to come? Luo Qianqian didn’t know why, but an alarm rang in her heart, she had a feeling that what she was about to face might be life-threatening.

A long, long time passed before Luo Qianqian fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was just dawning, and to her surprise, there was not a single person in the dormitory.

Even Qin Nuan and Cong Rong’s spaces were neatly arranged.

Picking up her phone, it wasn’t even five o’clock yet. She looked out of the dormitory window, but couldn’t see anyone around, it was very quiet, not a soul in sight.

She walked around the dormitory, washed up, slowly went downstairs, came out of the dormitory, and walked a long way before she saw someone. She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly approached, ”Excuse me, where did everyone go?”

”At the sports field, I guess. There’s a film crew here today for shooting, probably went to be extras?” the boy said indifferently, ”That big star, what’s his name... Yhan Miyuan.”

Luo Qianqian widened her eyes, no wonder Qin Nuan wasn’t in the dormitory either, but why didn’t they call her?

You weren’t called, young lady, because you stubbornly refused to get up, okay?
