Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 464: Chapter 444: Meeting an Acquaintance

Fang Rou turned around, her eyebrows slightly raised, ”You still remember me? Long time no see. Should I call you Ye Meng or Luo Qianqian now?”

Hearing the name Ye Meng, Qin Nuan realized where this person had met Luo Qianqian. Her face stiffened slightly. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Luo Qianqian calmly respond, ”Luo Qianqian. What are you doing here?”

”Oh, I switched to a more relaxed job. You don’t seem to be doing so well,” Fang Rou said with a smirk that was anything but genuine.

Luo Qianqian didn’t care about her expression and nodded, ”How coincidental, I run into you everywhere I go. It seems we really are fated.”

”Don’t you know the saying?” Fang Rou didn’t take offense at the impoliteness in Luo Qianqian’s words, merely looking down at her nails, ”All coincidences in the world are the result of someone else’s deliberate arrangement.” She looked up with a meaningful gaze.

Luo Qianqian fell silent, her attempt to probe was met with such a direct response that she didn’t know what to reply.

”...So, you admit you came for me?” Luo Qianqian broke the silence, staring straight at her.

Fang Rou revealed a professional smile, ”I have never denied it,” she looked deeply into her eyes, ”Of course, I haven’t admitted it either.”

Luo Qianqian laughed sarcastically, looking at the needle marks on her arm, she softly said thanks, then got out of bed and pulled Qin Nuan to leave.

”Welcome to come again,” Fang Rou’s voice came through the door of the medical office, making Luo Qianqian’s face turn green.

Without a word to Qin Nuan, they returned to their dormitory. Luo Qianqian immediately took out her phone and called Qin Liang. She found out that not long after she was taken away, Fang Rou had left, even earlier than Chang Xi. Her expression was hard to read.

If she came for her, how could she know she wouldn’t be returning? This decision was only made about a month ago. How could she have known so early?

Unable to figure it out, she made a second call to Hu Si, who had been waiting for a while. She told Hu Si everything about her abnormal past in detail, from Xi Meng to the girls in the department. She had only come into contact with Xi Meng’s contact information written on a piece of paper and the girls’ arms in the dormitory, along with that strong perfume smell.

”So you’re saying that scents can also trigger it?” Luo Qianqian squinted her eyes, clenching her fists tightly, ”If I have one abnormal day, won’t I end up in a mental hospital?”

”You’re sure? Alright then, I’ll contact you again if there’s any situation,” Luo Qianqian hung up, her face more serious than usual, considering the limited number of times the remaining drug effects in her body could be triggered. Each episode would reduce it further. What was the situation now?

”How is it?” Qin Nuan had been by Luo Qianqian’s side all along, looking concerned.

Luo Qianqian shook her head and buried herself in Qin Nuan’s embrace, ”Thank you, Nuannuan.”

Qin Nuan shook her head, gently patting Luo Qianqian’s back.

”What are you two doing? Come in and eat. I brought buns, meat ones.” Since Qin Nuan said Luo Qianqian was not feeling well, she had brought sick meal for her, lean meat porridge, and big buns, while hers was just buns and a cup of milk tea she usually drank.

Luo Qianqian and Qin Nuan hurriedly went from the balcony back inside, as Qin Nuan transferred the meal money to the delivery person, ”Thank you for this.”

Luo Qianqian then took a sip of the porridge and smiled broadly, ”Delicious, good choice Sister Zhang Yun, top-notch.”

”So the buns I chose aren’t tasty?” Cong Rong watched Luo Qianqian’s smiling face and breathed a sigh of relief, having been frightened by the stern look on her face when she first returned to the dormitory. That serious expression directly made Luo Qianqian laugh out loud.

”Wow, the buns chosen by a beautiful woman? Why don’t you, Sister Cong Rong, take a bite?” Luo Qianqian eagerly brought the bun up to Cong Rong’s face.

”Afraid I’ll poison it?” Cong Rong raised an eyebrow.

”No, no, no,” Luo Qianqian said earnestly, ”I’m going to take this bun down to the boys’ dorms and sell it, absolutely not for more, a bite from the great beauty Cong Rong’s bun, not for 998, not for 698, just for 98, take home a bun chosen by the great beauty Cong Rong, and it’s meat-filled, honest bargaining.”

The room burst into laughter at Luo Qianqian’s antics, and Cong Rong pointed at Luo Qianqian, asking Qin Nuan, ”Where did you pick up this treasure?”

”I’m not picked up from anywhere, where could you possibly find me? In a big seashell by the sea? I was delivered over the phone,” Luo Qianqian blinked her eyes, her face serious.

Qin Nuan couldn’t help but laugh, it really was a phone delivery, a single call that brought two people together.

”What phone call?”

”TV shopping, limited offer, first-come-first-served, no returns accepted, only needs two big buns for a ten-kilometer journey, can warm the bed and most importantly, doesn’t wet the bed,” Luo Qianqian said earnestly.

Qin Nuan was speechless, watching Luo Qianqian play the fool so seriously, a touch of tenderness flashed in her eyes. Was she acting like this because she was worried about her?

”Ten kilometers for two big buns, do you think you’re a car? I can’t believe you’re saying such things.” Zhang Yun laughed until she cried, pointing at Cong Rong, ”I’m not kidding, later on I’ll buy two kilos of buns, let you bite into them, and maybe even sell them. Who knows, we might make enough to cover living expenses, and Qin Nuan too.”

”Nuannuan’s boyfriend would get jealous.” Cong Rong quickly started to tease as soon as Qin Nuan was mentioned.

Qin Nuan was at a loss for words, why was the fire suddenly directed at her?

”Speaking of which, Nuannuan, you took a long leave last semester, didn’t you go off to play with your boyfriend?”

”Qin Nuan, when are you going to bring your boyfriend out for us to meet? Maybe treat us to a meal while you’re at it?”

Qin Nuan blinked, ”What are you talking about? I have no idea.”

”Come on, wasn’t it your boyfriend who dropped you off at school last time? All the guys in our department have been talking about it. They say our school’s Little Cabbage got taken by a wild boar.”

Luo Qianqian was at a loss for words, Fourth Brother, do you know you’re the wild boar?

She just obediently bowed her head to eat, listening was enough.

”So the guys are going to start pursuing all the campus beauties next, Cong Rong, you’d better hurry up and pick a good one too,” Zhang Yun said earnestly, but her eyes were full of laughter without a hint of jealousy.

Zhang Yun looked at Luo Qianqian obediently drinking her porridge, ”Oh, why bring this up? We’ve still got a minor in our dorm.”

”...You guys continue, pretend I’m not here,” Luo Qianqian quickly expressed her opinion.

”By the way, Nuannuan, someone in our department said you’re being kept, is that true?” Cao Yingying asked innocently, but her question made even Luo Qianqian frown.

”Yeah, it’s true.” Qin Nuan nodded, pointing at Luo Qianqian, ”Didn’t you see? She’s the one keeping me.”

Luo Qianqian almost choked on her porridge, her face confused as she looked at Qin Nuan.

Since when did Luo Yanran keep her? She indeed belonged to Luo Yanran’s family, but she felt Qin Nuan was inviting misunderstandings, so she didn’t explain and just nodded with a grin, ”Right, right, we’re one family, a family.”

Cong Rong looked at Luo Qianqian’s serious face and laughed, grabbing her hand playfully, ”Really? Count me in, come on, we’re one happy family,” she said, pulling Qin Nuan aside and doubling over with laughter.

Zhang Yun and Xiu Ran stood to the side, speechless. Only these two dared to joke about such a topic, but knowing their family backgrounds, which were financially stable, it was understandable why they weren’t afraid of such rumors.

”I’m full,” Luo Qianqian said as she stuffed the clean porridge bowl and the plastic bag that had held the buns into the garbage bin, ”I’ll take this down to throw away now. It’ll smell by tomorrow.”

”I’ll come with you,” Qin Nuan said, taking her phone as she followed Luo Qianqian downstairs, planning to chat on the phone as well.
