Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Luo Qianqian nodded, her face full of confusion, ”I don’t know if my feeling is right, but my heart just feels bad now.”

”Is it between Zhang Yun and Xiu Ran?” Qin Nuan continued to ask.

In the darkness of the night, the expressions in their eyes were not visible, but it was clear that neither of their faces looked good.

”Yes,” Luo Qianqian admitted.

There was no doubt about it, Cao Yingying was not in the dorm at all, and Cong Rong would not have eaten what she brought if she had been suspected from the beginning. The suspects had only ever been these two.

”It must be Xiu Ran...” Qin Nuan reflected on what had just happened, a trace of panic on her face.

Luo Qianqian gave a bitter smile, ”I don’t understand whether she intentionally revealed a flaw or... was trying to win our trust.”

In such conditions in their dorm, Xiu Ran still dared to eat what they brought, while Zhang Yun chose not to eat or drink anything, not even touching the sealed packages.

Moreover, Xiu Ran didn’t even see them eating when she ate, Qin Nuan was also sticking out her tongue then, drinking water to cope with the spiciness, and her milk tea was clearly open, yet she dared to drink it straight away, looking utterly nonchalant, which obviously didn’t fit the situation in their dorm.

Before knowing, although there was some fear of being harmed secretly, beyond the situation, but knowing who is most likely responsible, she somehow lost interest in investigating further, feeling unable to accept that a roommate she had lived with for so long could be such a person.

”What do we do now? Investigate who’s behind her or...” Qin Nuan also looked unwilling to believe, but the facts were nearly right in front of her now.

Although there was no direct evidence, evidence was something, after all, that would always turn up.

”Now? Investigate my ass, we’re not detectives,” Luo Qianqian pursed her lips and looked up at the sky, ”Just keep an eye on her, I don’t feel like investigating anymore, it’s tiring.”

”It’s really tiring.” Qin Nuan also looked towards the sky, ”Sigh, I suddenly really want to graduate, I always feel like the school is so chaotic, thinking about things like leaving drinks in a car... It all just feels like a decline.”

”This is chaotic?” Luo Qianqian pursed her lips, ”The dark side of society won’t be displayed before you, actually, if you think about it, not knowing is just that, and knowing makes you wonder how such things could happen, it’s especially hard to accept. There’s this ad slogan that makes a lot of sense: ’No trade, no killing.’”

Qin Nuan couldn’t help but smile wryly, ”Those who don’t know might think you studied philosophy, that there’s demand which stimulates the industry chain and corresponding goods and services. That’s what you mean, right?”

Luo Qianqian sighed deeply and after a long pause lazily responded, ”Money makes the mare go.”

A gentle breeze fluttered through her hair, a crisp and warm atmosphere, and the moonlight cast a faint glow, softening the features of both their faces, while the scent of barbecue lingered in the air, Luo Qianqian said, ”I’m going to buy some chicken wings.”

Qin Nuan felt Luo Qianqian was really good at breaking the mood.

”Isn’t your stomach bloated?” Qin Nuan touched her already swollen stomach and grimaced, ”Eating too much is also suffering, I’m worried I won’t sleep well tonight.”

Luo Qianqian smiled, ”Aren’t we alive just to be happy? If living unhappily, what’s the difference from a salted fish? If eating makes me happy, then I want to eat.”

”I always feel like you’re twisting it again.” Qin Nuan pursed her lips but still followed Luo Qianqian’s steps.

The two of them, carrying their food, walked to the sports field and quietly sat down on the ground, occasionally popping some food into their mouths, watching the men and women walking on the field. Luo Qianqian suddenly felt sentimental, ”If love could be this simple, that would be nice.”

Looking at the couples and friends walking on the field, Qin Nuan tugged at the corners of her mouth but couldn’t force a smile, sighing, ”The initial warmth fades, and reality always presents itself, people can’t live in fantasy forever.”

”Hey, are you being profound here? Don’t worry, Luo Yanran will treat you like a little princess,” chuckled Luo Qianqian, knowing Qin Nuan’s thoughts, but people are ultimately different.

”...Stop being silly and eat,” Qin Nuan said speechlessly. How could she barely stay serious for three minutes before revealing her true nature?

Luo Qianqian, gnawing on a chicken wing, stood up, ”Come on, let’s go. What’s there to see in this dark place? Let’s head to the basketball court. Aren’t there handsome guys there too?”

Qin Nuan was speechless. You are only single now; otherwise, wouldn’t you be taken home for a serious talk? And still looking at handsome guys?

Even though she thought so, her feet didn’t hesitate at all. Talking about it, since school started, she only felt like wandering around during the first two months. After that, she got to know Luo Qianqian and was busy with various things. Handsome guys, huh? She couldn’t even recognize most of her classmates.

Sometimes, being able to call someone by their name was all thanks to her previous life’s experience.

The two happily wiped their mouths, threw away their trash, and took the milk they brought for Cong Rong and their water for the evening to the basketball court.

It had to be said, compared to the playground, the basketball court was practically resplendent, since it at least had lights.

Seeing the people on the court, Luo Qianqian was momentarily speechless. Elvis was truly like a ghost appearing and disappearing everywhere. Could they even meet him on the court over the weekend?

And opposing Elvis happened to be Han Chen.

Luo Qianqian and Qin Nuan could basically recognize them at first glance. The surprising thing for the other two, however, was seeing another familiar person also there—Xi Ming.

When Xi Ming saw Luo Qianqian, he nodded at her. Luo Qianqian gave a low-key wave and hid behind the crowd with Qin Nuan to enjoy the spectacle.

”Isn’t that weird? He just got back, right? How come he’s already here watching the game?” Qin Nuan said in confusion. And by the looks of it, it seemed that Xi Ming might even be a substitute for one of the teams?

Luo Qianqian didn’t speak; she was already distracted by the whispers of the gossip from the girls in front, pointing at them to Qin Nuan and putting her finger to her lips, signaling for silence.

”No way, I’d say the foreign hottie and the president are more suited. The president is definitely a suit-wearing, serious seme,”

”I’m still rooting for the foreign hottie and the school heartthrob. They are a perfect match, devastatingly handsome.”

”Thanks, that’s the former school heartthrob.”

”No way, should we let foreign guys steal our resources? I root for the school heartthrob, the former one, and the president.”

Luo Qianqian listened with relish while Qin Nuan looked speechless. Are you here to eavesdrop on gossip?

But then the conversation from the group in front made them get serious:

”Pfft, you guys wouldn’t know, right? The foreign hottie and Han Chen were already at odds before the official classes even started; seems like it was over a person.”

”It must have been for the president, given that he wasn’t back at that time.”

”Nope, apparently, they just disliked each other. Is it like-minded beings repelling each other? Good-looking guys repelling each other? Maybe, considering he stole the spotlight as soon as he arrived. It would be bad if the girl they like ended up liking the other guy, right?”
