Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 487: Chapter 467: The Dormitory Struggle (Part Six)

”Alright, now that you’re done eating, go brush your teeth.” Cong Rong didn’t bother to acknowledge Cao Yingying as she calmly pulled Luo Qianqian into the bathroom.

Qin Nuan, on the other hand, sat on the bed and muttered to herself, ”Ah, this kid has spent so much, now she’ll have to ask for... money again.” She spoke just loudly enough for Cao Yingying to hear but not quite make out the words.

A moment later when Luo Qianqian and Cong Rong came out of the bathroom, Cao Yingying’s expression was somewhat strange, but she still managed a smile as she climbed onto the bed.

Luo Qianqian and the others had no further interaction, and the night passed without words.

The next morning, Qianqian got up early, grabbed her notebook-filled backpack, and left the dorm. Part of the reason was breakfast, but another part was that she had completely forgotten what classes she had chosen before.

During the military training, she had picked her classes carelessly and without much thought, so now she was a bit confused.

Fortunately, the library opened early, so after breakfast, she slipped in, checked her schedule, and realized there was no need to hurry – her morning class was a required one.

After finding out her class location, she leisurely made her way to the classroom. After getting lost yesterday, she could navigate the buildings more clearly.

”Luo Qianqian, over here.” As soon as she entered the classroom, she heard a voice and looked towards the corner where it came from. It was Wang Zi.

Luo Qianqian shook her head: ”I’m fine sitting in the front.”

Having said that, she took a seat in the nearly empty front row.

They had agreed to be a dorm of study enthusiasts, so there was no reason for her to abandon the plan on the first day. Besides, with her height, she was bound to draw attention, so there was no point in sitting at the back to avoid being noticed and to cut classes later.

On the other hand, there were three people in the class she didn’t want to interact with too much – one of them was Wang Zi, with the other two being Xi Meng and Sun Bin.

The sudden incident from the last time still gave her palpitations, fearing another careless mishap.

There were many empty seats in the classroom, so besides Luo Qianqian, there was only a bespectacled guy in the first two rows. The various corners in the back, however, were fully occupied.

The textbook had also been prepared by Qin Nuan in advance. It wasn’t new and contained a lot of notes, apparently bought from a graduating senior.

Not long after, the lecturer for this class entered the room.

A clean-cut man who looked to be in his thirties, with the only flaw being his graying hair. His skin was in great condition though, and he picked up a piece of chalk to write three bold characters on the blackboard.

”My name is Yue Xiluo, and I’m your ’Digital Logic Circuits’ teacher. I’m pleased to see so many new faces and hope we can live happily together in the future.”

The bold characters Yue Xiluo floated on the blackboard. Luo Qianqian furrowed her brow, feeling like she was missing something obvious, but she couldn’t solve the puzzle and was full of doubts about this person, considering too many unexpected people had appeared around her recently.

”We will call names according to student numbers. When I call your name, please stand up and introduce yourself.” Yue Xiluo’s lips were tightly pressed, always wearing a gentle smile, which instantly won the favor of the students in the classroom.

”Number One, Xi Meng.”

”Hello everyone, I’m Xi Meng. I’m an Aries male, cheerful and with a good sense of humor. I’m not bad at sports either, and hope to become good friends with all of you.” The students had actually done their self-introductions already; this was just to make a deeper impression on those who weren’t familiar and those who didn’t attend the military training.

”...”

”Number Five, Luo Qianqian.”

Luo Qianqian was startled when her name was called, but she quickly stood up, only to hear Yue Xiluo continue, ”Yo, turns out the ’Flying Little Policewoman’ is in our department. I’ve heard much about you.”

Before Qianqian could speak, the classroom burst into laughter, leaving her speechless.

”Luo Qianqian is me, and I am Luo Qianqian,” she said and then sat down.

Yue Xiluo, however, didn’t say anything and continued with the roll call.

The class wasn’t very boring. Hei Yu didn’t elaborate on the basic knowledge; Qianqian only knew how to operate, but she still lacked the theory.

After class, Yue Xiluo didn’t linger and left immediately.

Luo Qianqian then dismissed the doubt in her heart, chuckling to herself that she suspected anyone who looked good.

But those eyes seemed oddly familiar.

”Luo Qianqian.” After class, just as Luo Qianqian was about to leave, Sun Bin blocked her path with a smiling face, ”How about we have lunch together at noon?”

Luo Qianqian instinctively stepped back, shaking her head with caution, ”No, I’ve already made plans with my dorm mates, maybe next time.”

Having said that, she walked around Sun Bin, who still smelled of perfume; she held her breath as soon as she smelled it and didn’t breathe easy until she was out of the classroom.

However, upon leaving the classroom, she saw Cao Yingying standing to one side, seemingly waiting for someone.

A chill went through her heart. Surely Cao Yingying wasn’t waiting for her?

As it turned out, her guess was right.

Cao Yingying approached her as soon as she came out, ”Qianqian, how’s class? Can I help you carry that?” she said, reaching for Luo Qianqian’s bag.

Luo Qianqian shook her head, refusing as she clutched her bag tightly. The Amulet dangled as she moved, and Luo Qianqian looked at it with a soft expression, ”Is there something you need?” her voice softened as well.

Cao Yingying was taken aback, then nodded, ”Did you spend Qin Nuan’s money yesterday? She mentioned she needed to ask someone for money, I overheard and thought I should tell you.”

Luo Qianqian was stunned. Isn’t this a clear message to you? Can’t you see it? Or do you see it but have other motives?

Cao Yingying wasn’t stupid; a dumb person wouldn’t have been admitted to this prestigious school. She could certainly see Qin Nuan’s intentions, but she could only take this opportunity to get close to Luo Qianqian. Going with the flow, watching the play — let’s wait and see.

”Oh, right, what about it? We’re all family here. Not to mention asking for money, if she asked for anything else I’d give it too,” Luo Qianqian raised the corner of her lips, ”Wouldn’t my family look stupid if they couldn’t even afford to buy some fruit?”

Cao Yingying was at a loss for words. Just out of the information building, she saw Qin Nuan waiting already, so she didn’t say anything else, smiling and following Luo Qianqian, greeting Qin Nuan.

”Nuannuan, why are you here?” Luo Qianqian asked with a surprised brow.

Qin Nuan rolled her eyes, ”Why can’t I be here? I just received a bouquet, red roses...” She stopped speaking at that point.

Luo Qianqian suddenly understood the situation, sticking out her tongue, pretending ignorance, ”Wow, who’s that from? Where are the flowers? Take them back and make me a sachet.”

She had secretly tipped off Luo Yanran yesterday; she didn’t expect him to act so quickly. And in this manner? It was somewhat romantic too.

”The flowers are in the dorm, the giver of the flowers just left,” Qin Nuan said, her eyebrows raised, her eyes gleaming with joy.

Luo Qianqian was even more surprised, wasn’t it Luo Yanran who came to deliver the flowers?

”What are you thinking? How could that be possible?” Qin Nuan could tell what Luo Qianqian was thinking just by looking into her eyes. She shook her head helplessly, looked at Cao Yingying, then lifted the corners of her lips, ”I’ll treat you to your favorite lunch at noon, oh and also a gift for you. Hurry back after class,” Qin Nuan winked with an air of nonchalance.

Luo Qianqian, knowing Cao Yingying was present and couldn’t speak much, merely nodded secretly, glanced at the time, and headed towards another building, ”I have another class, we’ll talk later,” she said, leaving the two behind in a hurry.
