Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 403: Chapter 384: Hu Si Returns

```

Five days passed like this, and just as she was about to embark on her next mission, Hu Si came back, and he brought someone with him, which made Luo Qianqian feel utterly distressed: ”Brother?”

The person who came was...

Luo Shufan? no no no.

The person who came was actually Luo Yanran, who had followed all the way here.

”Qianqian!!!” Luo Yanran saw his sister and immediately pounced on her, hugging Luo Qianqian tightly as he choked up: ”How have you become so thin? And you’ve darkened too, what happened to your neck?” Noticing the distinct pink mark, Luo Yanran’s expression darkened.

Luo Qianqian touched her own neck: ”Oh, I got scratched by a branch while walking, it’s nothing. Uncle Hu has already chopped down that branch. Why are you here?”

Hu Si just wanted to say it was his bad luck, running into Luo Yanran at the airport just after he had attended some award ceremony. And this guy even managed to ditch a bunch of followers and stuck to him, insisting on coming to see his sister. After getting off the plane, no amount of persuasion worked, and he even brought up Old Master Luo, claiming that Old Master Luo had sent him.

It was obvious that wasn’t likely, but it was also not feasible to actually call and check.

Eventually, since he couldn’t get rid of him, he let him come along.

”Did you inform Uncle Sun and Sister Nuannuan?” Luo Qianqian, hearing the whole story, was exasperated. How could her Fourth Brother still be so immature at his age?

”I did, I called them right after getting off the plane.” Luo Yanran patted Luo Qianqian’s head, then awkwardly looked at the small bag that held his money and documents. His luggage was with Sun Zhichao, leaving him without any gifts. He then pulled out his wallet: ”Look, since you’ve taken all the trouble, I’ll give you some pocket money to buy some snacks.”

Luo Qianqian looked at Hu Si and shook her head: ”Keep it, I can’t spend it here, even buying a drink would end up thrown in the trash.”

”That pathetic?” Luo Yanran’s eyes widened: ”Come on, brother will take you to eat cake, we won’t stand for this treatment.”

”If you decide to take her to eat, I’m not handling her illness anymore.” Hu Si responded calmly.

Luo Qianqian wasn’t going to go anyway, she had just eaten her fill.

Only then did Luo Yanran snap out of it, remembering the reason his sister was here. He sighed: ”When you get home, brother will buy you ten.”

”When are you leaving?” Hu Si continued.

”Tomorrow.”

”Leave with my sister.”

Luo Qianqian and Luo Yanran spoke at the same time, then both were surprised by the other. After a moment, Luo Qianqian spoke first.

”Fourth Brother, I’m here for treatment, and there are no extra accommodations, so don’t cause any trouble for others...” Then, seeing the pitiful look in Luo Yanran’s eyes, she resolutely turned her head away, pretending not to see.

”Anyway, it won’t be long, right? I’ll stay with you.” Luo Yanran shook his head.

Hu Si glanced at Luo Qianqian. The reason he’d rushed back was because of tomorrow’s task. Luo Qianqian’s eagerness to have Luo Yanran leave clearly indicated she didn’t want him to know what she had been through here. He didn’t pry further, simply saying: ”Discuss it among yourselves, I’m a bit tired from the flight, I’m going to sleep. Tomorrow, I’ll check your work.”

Luo Qianqian nodded in agreement.

Luo Yanran furrowed his brow: ”Qianqian, why do you want me to leave?”

”Because you have other things to do, right? There’s nothing much here, just pure treatment, and it mustn’t be disturbed. Even a slight fluctuation in emotions can have an impact.” Luo Qianqian began her ruse, spouting utter nonsense with the utmost seriousness.

Luo Yanran almost laughed in frustration, wondering when treatments were ever affected by emotions.

”Haven’t you heard? Two patients went to the hospital, one with cancer, the other misdiagnosed. The cancer patient thought, since it’s come to this, might as well enjoy life and stayed in good spirits for a long time. The misdiagnosed one felt terrible, didn’t want to eat, and was gloomy every day, and as a result, his condition got worse.” Luo Qianqian explained.

”This...” He actually had heard something like that. Luo Yanran was at a loss for words.

```

”Going back tomorrow? Shall I drop you off at the airport after my class?” Luo Qianqian smiled, but her tone left no room for argument.

Although Luo Yanran was reluctant, when it came to his sister’s health, he agreed.

With a mischievous smile, Luo Qianqian said, ”I was quite startled when I heard your name in the cab last time. You two really pulled off something big without making a sound.”

Luo Yanran smiled. ”Isn’t it just taking advantage of the situation? By the way, have you eaten?”

”Hungry? I’ll go find Feng.” Luo Qianqian scurried outside and saw Feng holding a bowl of noodles, looking quite unwilling.

”It’s because I owe him, and now I have to cook for him so late. Your brother hasn’t eaten either, right? You take it to him.” After putting the bowl in Luo Qianqian’s hands, he turned and walked away.

Luo Qianqian happily returned to her room with the bowl of noodles.

But she found Luo Yanran examining her bow and arrow and didn’t know what to say. Pretending not to see it, she announced, ”Time for dinner.” Luo Yanran put down the object and looked deeply at his sister for a moment before settling down to eat.

After watching Luo Yanran finish his meal, Luo Qianqian took the bowl to the kitchen to wash and placed it neatly in the cupboard. When she returned, she found Luo Yanran had found the dagger. She really didn’t know what to say. ”Brother, what are you inspecting? Are you afraid I have some dangerous items?”

His attitude did not take the two items seriously as weapons. ”These are gifts from someone. Don’t damage them.”

Years of acting experience told Luo Yanran that these were not mere props, but sharpened, real weapons. However, seeing how casually his sister placed them, they didn’t seem much like weapons to him, so he didn’t think much of it. He casually warned, ”You can’t take this kind of thing on planes or trains, and not even on the subway.”

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, she knew that.

”Luo Qianqian, let me ask you a question,” said Luo Yanran with an unusual seriousness.

”What?” Luo Qianqian was startled, afraid Luo Yanran had discovered something, yet trying to appear calm.

”Do you think...”

”What?”

”Do you think... you being the lead female in my next album’s music video is a good idea?” Luo Yanran frowned. ”I also feel you’re too young, but they say you have a good voice and look pretty on camera. If you don’t want to, I’ll just decline for you.”

Luo Qianqian didn’t expect such a question and her mouth twitched.

”Isn’t Sister Nuannuan okay?” Luo Qianqian thought the most suitable person around her age would surely be Qin Nuan.

”She said she still has to get married, it’s too ambiguous for her taste.”

”Sister Nuannuan is seeing someone?”

”I don’t think so... Who would fancy someone with such a temper?”

”Then you should pursue her, how simple is that,” Luo Qianqian said laughingly. ”I can help with singing a female part if needed, but count me out for the appearance, I have someone I like.”

”Just for a music video? Is your brother’s love that cheap?” Luo Yanran scoffed at Luo Qianqian’s suggestion.

Luo Qianqian, grinning mischievously, sat next to Luo Yanran. ”Just think about it, right now Sister Nuannuan is sitting next to a handsome young man, looking at him with starry eyes, saying ’I like you,’ and then they gaze at each other, eyes brimming with emotion, gradually moving closer, breathing in each other’s scent, slowly drawing nearer, their lips meeting...”

Luo Yanran snapped, ”Enough, how dare she!”

”Why wouldn’t she dare? She’s single,” Luo Qianqian said calmly.

Luo Yanran looked at his sister for a moment and smiled. ”I’ll be going back tomorrow, I’ll credit you for this one, and treat you to something delicious later.”
