Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 328: Chapter 310: Aftermath

Seeing Luo Qianqian vomiting and looking extremely pale, it wasn’t just Luo Qianqian who realized the severity of her condition, Luo Xiying did too.

”Clean up a bit, and I’ll contact someone to help transfer Qianqian to another hospital,” Luo Xiying said in a deep voice to Bai Yixian.

Bai Yixian wiped Luo Qianqian’s mouth, without showing any disgust, and as he gazed upon her, now appearing even weaker, his eyes filled with guilt, ”Qianqian, I’m sorry, I didn’t know.”

”It’s okay,” Luo Qianqian shook her head; she was clear about this. She didn’t blame Bai Yixian.

”Do you know what’s wrong with you?” Bai Yixian hesitated before finally asking.

Qianqian’s face turned pale as she nodded, This could be called a Heart Demon, couldn’t it? If this were a fantasy world. In this real world, it’s called a psychological shadow, a mental illness. That bloody space was her psychological shadow.

”Don’t be afraid, we are here with you,” Bai Yixian felt very sorry for the child; the family didn’t know the situation, yet she still had to hide it, unable to talk about it.

Luo Qianqian shook her head and forced a smile, but she didn’t dare close her eyes. As soon as she did, the bloody space would appear, an inescapable nightmare.

Luo Qianqian glanced at her cell phone, which had just been turned on. It was already Thursday. Yesterday she was too weak to look for her phone, so she could only contact her brother next time. But she was startled to find a message in her phone from her brother’s number. It was a string of random numbers: 96436942664, 4264269426489454.

There were no 0s, no 1s, no 3s, no 7s; what could it be?

Luo Qianqian typed a few numbers on the reply page. They weren’t a phone number, not a QQ number, nor a bank card number, and they didn’t seem like geographic coordinates. Then she suddenly realized in astonishment that those two strings of numbers were just a sentence: ”I miss you very much, take good care of yourself.”

Luo Qianqian found it strange: why send a simple greeting in such a way?

She smiled gently, but did not reply. It wasn’t Wednesday, and she wouldn’t turn on her cell phone, so even if she replied, it wouldn’t be seen.

”Let’s go,” said Luo Xiying as she wheeled the wheelchair into the ward. ”I’ve asked for a leave on your behalf. It’s a good time for you to go back and take your exam.”

Luo Qianqian nodded and smiled weakly. She couldn’t eat anything and was surviving solely on glucose. Even when tired, she resolutely stayed awake.

Qin Liang received a call from Luo Xiying and soon appeared in Luo Qianqian’s ward. Seeing Luo Qianqian’s face, which had become even paler for some reason, a few strands of pity flashed across his eyes, and he sighed softly, ”Rest well, and come back soon.”

Luo Qianqian forced a smile: ”Don’t worry, Boss.”

Hearing Luo Qianqian’s address to Qin Liang, Luo Xiying didn’t know how to react. She lowered her head and quietly packed a few changes of clothes that Chang Xi had brought for Luo Qianqian.

When Luo Qianqian turned her head to look at her uncle, she happened to see him folding her strawberry-patterned underwear. Her face instantly flushed red: ”Uncle!!! I can take care of it myself!!!” Her hoarse voice became clearer out of urgency.

The few people startled by Luo Qianqian’s sudden shout all focused their gaze on what was in Luo Xiying’s hands. Seeing the fabric with the white background and strawberry pattern, they immediately understood, and Luo Xiying quickly stuffed the items into the backpack, pretending as if he knew nothing. Qin Liang shifted his gaze away, but the blush on his face revealed that he had seen everything clearly. Bai Yixian, holding a towel, gently wiped Luo Qianqian’s blushing cheeks, his own face showing a hint of red. After all, such an embarrassing situation was not easily explained.

”Cough cough... Well, later I’ll bring Nuannuan over, you can all leave together.” Qin Liang looked steadily into Luo Qianqian’s eyes as if he knew nothing about what had just happened, as if he had selective memory loss, when in reality his heart was tormented. He could not help but convince himself that maybe a child’s preference for undergarments isn’t such a big issue after all. He’s just a kid, after all. Qin Liang consoled himself inwardly, while outwardly he remained cool and collected without any sign of abnormality.

Luo Qianqian admitted defeat under Qin Liang’s indifferent gaze, unsure if this man’s skin was really that thick or if he truly hadn’t noticed. She lowered her head and dared not continue to meet his gaze, meekly nodding.

”Keep an eye on that kid for me, don’t let him cause any trouble,” Luo Xiying said with a dark expression that didn’t reveal any blush, speaking to Qin Liang. He lifted his chin, pointing towards the figure drifting about outside the door, ”He’s that guy’s apprentice, and as his grandteacher, you should take good care of him too.”

”...You’re looking for a nanny, aren’t you? When will Little One be back?” Qin Liang nodded, having a bit of admiration for this person. Without knowing whether Luo Qianqian was alive or dead, he’d still chosen to lead the danger away, which was really manly.

Hearing Qin Liang’s words, Luo Xiying’s eyes dimmed, and he shook his head, ”I don’t know, but there’s the exam anyway. We’ll take it slow.”

Qin Liang also understood that this was not something that could be hastened by worrying. He nodded and said, ”When you go back, please keep an eye on Nuannuan for me, I feel like her mental state hasn’t been great lately.”

Luo Xiying was taken aback, looking at Qin Liang, ”I really can’t figure out what girls are thinking. Your sister is the same, and so is my little niece...”

Luo Qianqian observed her uncle discussing these matters with an unchanged face in front of her, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Bai Yixian watched Luo Qianqian’s utterly conflicted expression and couldn’t help but find humor in it, and unexpectedly let out a laugh. This drew the attention of the two men who were discussing the enigma of a woman’s heart. They turned to see Luo Qianqian’s face twitching and, realizing their slip, promptly shut up.

The luggage was quickly organized, and when the others returned, they were surprised to see Luo Qianqian already dressed and covered with a blanket, sitting in a wheelchair. They were even more astonished to hear that Luo Qianqian was going back to Capital City for treatment. How serious was it that she needed to return? Although the treatment conditions were slightly lacking here, experts had been brought over to ensure there were no problems before anyone went back.

”Then I’m going back too,” Qin Nuan said without hesitation. Watching her brother’s unsurprised eyes and Luo Qianqian’s slightly shocked ones, Qin Nuan leaned closer to Luo Qianqian, ”I came here for you in the first place. Does my big brother really need me to keep an eye on him at his age?” She looked at Qin Liang, who touched his nose helplessly.

Xu Tianyi sighed, ”I’ll go back too.”

Luo Qianqian chuckled and nodded, not saying much.

Chang Xi made a sour face, ”So, you’re just going to leave me behind? Should I go back too?”

Luo Qianqian was speechless and softly said, ”I’ll be back soon; I still have to take the exam, don’t I?”

Wei Guang grabbed his sister, ”Sis, Little One is not going to be gone forever. She still has exams to take.”

Chang Xi looked at Wei Guang and reluctantly nodded, ”Then you come back early.”

She knew she couldn’t follow because her role was to follow orders.

”I’ll bring back some delicacies for you when I come back. I get it, Peking duck, roast chicken, roast suckling pig; it’s all about the meat. I understand.” A hoarse voice rose, and with Luo Qianqian’s words, Chang Xi’s laughter shook off any sadness from the parting.

”Then hurry back once you’re well. I’ll be waiting for you.”
