Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 431: Chapter 411: Luo Shufan’s Decision

No one in the Luo Family spoke, as Luo Qianqian had always had her own opinions. Although sometimes they couldn’t understand why she would make such decisions, they still chose to trust her.

Yue Tingyu frowned and grabbed Luo Qianqian’s hand. ”Qianqian, we all want you to be happy and fortunate, not constantly facing danger.”

To Luo Qianqian’s surprise, she saw two uncles, one uncle, and three older brothers all nodding in agreement. Even Old Master Luo’s eyes were filled with approval. Luo Qianqian pursed her lips and shook her head. ”Compared to being happy, I will not truly be happy if my brother is not around all the time.”

Shufan was a heartache for the Luo family, an even unmentionable name during Luo Qianqian’s nightmares. Although he was the youngest grandson of the Luo family, he had become a taboo. He had vanished into thin air, unreachable by anyone except Luo Qianqian.

How could they not wish for Shufan to appear so the family could be happy together? Yet, they could not find him, as if he had disappeared into thin air.

”I will ask my brother for his thoughts, but I will also stick to my decision. It’s inconvenient for me to talk about it with mom, but I hope someone can understand me.” Luo Qianqian spoke flatly, and after a moment, she pulled up a corner of her mouth. ”I’m a bit tired, I’ll go rest now.” Having said that, Luo Qianqian picked up her backpack, not even glancing at the acceptance letter on the coffee table before heading upstairs.

Old Master Luo sat down despondently. ”Have I lost my courage?”

Only Luo Yanran’s eyes flickered with a peculiar light, sneakily pulling out her phone and tapping on it.

No sooner had Luo Qianqian laid down in her room than her phone rang, Caller ID: Qin Nuan.

”Nuannuan,” Luo Qianqian lay on her back, eyes closed, placing the phone next to her ear, her face weary.

”Did your male god leave?” Qin Nuan was aware of Xu Tianyi’s situation.

Luo Qianqian hummed in response, covering her forehead with another hand and spoke wearily: ”Suddenly, I feel so tired.”

”Dead is restful, alive is tiring, isn’t it?” Qin Nuan bluntly said, ”You sound really tired? What did you do last night?” She snorted mischievously as she spoke.

Luo Qianqian was stunned for a moment before opening her eyes. ”What are you thinking? I’m still underage.”

”True, still a little brat,” Qin Nuan, relieved to hear Luo Qianqian sounding a bit more spirited, finally relaxed. ”We can discuss it when you’re older.”

Luo Qianqian wasn’t choked, but her eyes immediately sparkled with a strange light. ”Did you and my brother exchange applause?”

”Hardly,” Qin Nuan giggled twice. ”Just swapped a bit of saliva.”

”Why don’t you say exchanged bodily fluids? That’d give me more room for wild thoughts.” Luo Qianqian chuckled, this being well within her expectations. Qin Nuan had always said that what’s easily obtained isn’t cherished; she wouldn’t be foolish enough to give herself away hastily.

”Actually, there’s no difference, saliva, sweat, urine, tissue fluid—they’re all bodily fluids,” Qin Nuan laughed heartily, then composed herself to look at a new message that had just come in, and hesitated before speaking: ”Are you planning on going to school or going back to my brother?”

If Luo Qianqian didn’t realize who had sent this spy after hearing this, she’d be an idiot. ”Hey, Luo Yanran really has some nerve, sending his own girlfriend to probe his sister’s thoughts?”

”What are you talking about? I care about you, I was your friend first before I became his girlfriend,” Qin Nuan declared emphatically, though Luo Qianqian on the other end of the phone believed not a single word.

”I don’t know, I’ll message my brother in a bit and ask,” Luo Qianqian laughed, but she had already decided to keep both options open.

The two of them chatted for a while longer before hanging up. No sooner had Qin Nuan hung up than Luo Yanran’s call came through, and they started another long phone conversation.

After hanging up, Luo Qianqian sent a message asking Shufan about something and another message greeting Tianyi before going to sleep. It was not Wednesday, and she wasn’t expecting Shufan to reply. As for Tianyi, he was undoubtedly still on the plane, so after sending the messages, she went straight to take a shower and sleep. The excitement of the past two days and all the fun had her sleeping until late noon. Upon waking up, she saw two missed calls and two messages.

The two missed calls were from Shufan, and the messages were from Shufan and Tianyi, respectively.

Shufan: Message me when you wake up.

Tianyi: I’ve arrived. It’s still raining. I’ll contact you once I’ve settled in.

After replying to both of them, Shufan’s call came through.

”Did you wake up?” Shufan’s voice sounded tired, and there was the sound of water in the background.

”I overslept. Oh, mom’s belly is so big now I even took a photo. Want me to send it to you?”

”Send it to me later. I’ve been thinking all morning. I have an idea, want to hear it?”

Quite surprised, Luo Qianqian nodded and then heard the sound of a door opening on the other side, the water sound getting louder.

”Aren’t I just looking for your advice? I thought about it all night and my head hurts.” Luo Qianqian bluffed, considering that Shufan wouldn’t know she had a good sleep. He might think she got up late, ”Are you taking a shower?”

”What? It’s raining, this heavy rain is annoying.” Shufan sighed as he looked at the sky, ”You should go to school, I can’t always hear about you getting hurt, it’s too much for my heart.” Though he said this, the calm tone of the voice on the call that morning had sent a chill through him.

”I won’t. Big brother, you are also very important.” Luo Qianqian shook her head vigorously. Shufan could hear the tremor in her voice and knew she was up to something silly again.

”Computer science, maybe one day you could track my location, right?” Shufan said, gently reassuring her.

”Brother, are you hiding something from me? How do I feel like you’ve lost weight? Did the school pay you to persuade me?” Luo Qianqian frowned.

Shufan chuckled awkwardly, ”Actually, there are too many cliques in the military, it’s easy to become cannon fodder, I’m worried about you.” Shufan’s eyes darted guiltily downward, but Luo Qianqian couldn’t see such a noticeable gesture since she wasn’t there.

”Is that what the man behind you said? Telling me to go to school? Then how will you come back?” Luo Qianqian sighed slowly.

”Sort of, if you can find my location, then I can come back with you, right?” Shufan’s voice carried a bit of guilt, while Luo Qianqian frowned.

”Are you sure?” Luo Qianqian was puzzled. It was clearly that man who had initially suggested she join the military, so why suddenly suggest school again, ”You aren’t just making things up so I’d go to school, are you?”

Shufan listened to his sister’s voice, amused. Initially, that man had wanted her to join the military because she lacked self-preservation skills and was not very cautious. Now, maybe those weren’t so much of an issue anymore, so he suggested she return to school? Actually, even he couldn’t figure out that man’s thoughts. Although they had been in contact for nearly a year, during that year, apart from the full schedule of courses, it was only when he talked on the phone with his sister that the man would sit across from him.

He also wanted his sister to be happy and safe, so even though he had doubts about that man’s decision, he still agreed. His sister’s safety was the most important thing.
