Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 744: Chapter 724: Xiu Ran Returns

Luo Qianqian was taken aback, then a smile formed on her face. Finally, this was the He Wenyu she knew.

But since she had entered a closed school and wasn’t in contact with the outside world, it might also mean she hadn’t communicated with Zhao Wenxuan...

She sighed and didn’t say much more. It was better for He Wenyu to make her own decisions regarding her affairs.

Lin Jiayou showed his concern for Luo Qianqian with a few more words before he relaxed and headed back to school. Although she was not his blood sister, the sibling bond that Luo Shufan and Luo Qianqian shared with him was stronger than that of biological siblings.

It’s not like he would go through fire and water for them, but he would do what he could.

”Hehe, have you successfully become the big sister-in-law yet?” Luo Qianqian teasingly smiled at Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun looked helpless but paused, her face conflicted. As the three of them were about to enter the dormitory building, she stopped them: ”Um... Xiu Ran is back.”

Luo Qianqian was startled, then nodded her head. Although her expression didn’t change much, her steps had already stopped.

Qin Nuan and Cong Rong also stopped, both wearing expressions of uncertainty.

A moment later, Zhang Yun added, ”She came back yesterday. She told me that if you guys can’t accept her, she will choose to leave our dorm on her own, so as not to cause us any trouble.”

Luo Qianqian looked at Qin Nuan, then at Cong Rong. Both of their faces were filled with hesitation.

However, Luo Qianqian quickly realized something, ”If Xiu Ran is back, doesn’t that mean Han Chen should also be returning to classes soon?”

Zhang Yun thought for a moment, furrowing her brows in deep thought, but then shook her head, ”Haven’t heard anything. Maybe they don’t have classes?”

Looking towards their dormitory window, the curtain slightly swayed, and she could vaguely see someone’s shadow pass by. Luo Qianqian sighed, ”Let’s go. She isn’t exactly a villain.”

”But...” The things Xiu Ran had done were still before their eyes. How could they easily forgive her? She had caused them to be divided, to suspect each other, and even almost caused Luo Qianqian to have an accident.

Luo Qianqian sighed, ”She had the courage to come back and face our judgment, didn’t she? The future is long; whether to accept her is our decision.”

Listening to Luo Qianqian’s words, Qin Nuan patted her head, a look of approval on her face.

The four of them slowly went upstairs and arrived at the dormitory door, only to see Xiu Ran already in tears packing her belongings.

They all remained silent, just quietly watching her.

After a moment, as if Xiu Ran sensed something, she wiped her tears with her sleeve and continued folding her clothes with her head down, ”I’ll be done packing soon and will then go to the teacher to change dorms.” She didn’t turn around, nor did she see the four people’s expressions. Her face was filled with sadness. It was all her fault. The dormitory that was once harmonious was now a place where she no longer belonged, and she had to leave.

At that moment, however, she felt a sense of reluctance. They had lived together for more than a year and had grown attached, especially with Zhang Yun, with whom she used to gossip closely.

Yesterday, Zhang Yun had also spoken frankly with her, saying that even the close bond they once shared wouldn’t easily forgive her actions.

Moreover, the final decision was in Luo Qianqian’s hands, not Qin Nuan’s, not Cong Rong’s, but Luo Qianqian, the new girl in the dormitory for just over a month.

Xiu Ran also knew this issue; even that foreign blond guy had been seriously hurt because of what happened, as well as Qin Nuan’s boyfriend and Luo Qianqian’s brother...

The people looked at each other, unsure of what to say. Luo Qianqian thought for a moment, ”Now, which do you feel is more important in your heart, love at first sight or love from long acquaintance?”

Qin Nuan held her forehead. Are these two terms appropriate here?

Xiu Ran’s body trembled, and she slowly lifted her head, ”Love at first sight is about the face; love from long acquaintance is about character, views, and habits.” She paused for a long time before continuing, ”I owe you all an apology, I’m really sorry.”

Xiu Ran stood up without lifting his head and bowed deeply toward the direction of the door, so deep that his head almost touched the ground.

Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but silently admire, ”Look at this flexibility.”

All four of them were sitting on the bed, quietly watching Xiu Ran, and said nothing.

After a while, when Xiu Ran hadn’t received any response, he propped himself up and lifted his head, only to see that Luo Qianqian was already sitting on one side, writing something with a pen. He rubbed his reddened eyes and was about to continue packing his luggage when he saw Luo Qianqian stretching out a notebook towards him.

Puzzled, he took it over and before he could look at it, he heard Luo Qianqian say in a ghostly tone, ”This is for the food you wasted. You need to compensate for it and clean the dormitory for a month, or else we’ll never let you off!”

Accompanied by a puny fist and a ferocious expression, it added a bit of humor to the scene.

Qin Nuan rubbed her forehead in resignation but felt that maybe this was the best solution. After all, what if another weirdo moved in? Wouldn’t that mean no more peaceful days for them?

”So...” Xiu Ran’s face was full of disbelief as he stared at Luo Qianqian with his swollen eyes.

Luo Qianqian spread her hands, ”Do you need to find a primary school teacher to reteach you reading comprehension?”

Seeing the items like soy milk and papaya written on the notebook, he burst into laughter, wiping away his tears, ”Thank you guys.” Thank you for forgiving me.

”We haven’t forgiven you yet,” Luo Qianqian hummed before continuing as she saw Xiu Ran’s changing expression, ”Don’t think you can skip cleaning. Not only will you clean, but you’ll also be in charge of heating up the water, hmm,” she said, nodding affirmatively as if to confirm her own thoughts.

Qin Nuan was speechless and slapped her arm, ”Are you trying to laze yourself to death? It’s only October, I wouldn’t say anything if it was January, but are you this lazy even in October?”

”Spring tiredness, autumn laziness,” Luo Qianqian yawned and glanced at the clock beside her, quickly getting up, ”Hurry up, it’s time for class!!! If we don’t go now, we’ll be late!!!”

She quickly began to gather her things, grabbing her bag and running out first.

Qin Nuan and Cong Rong exchanged a glance, ”Should we tell her that we don’t have class in the morning?”

”It’s too late to say now,” Cong Rong leisurely took out her phone.

”You’re right,” Qin Nuan returned to her bed.

Zhang Yun and Xiu Ran reluctantly glanced at these two and hurriedly grabbed their bags and ran out.

Xiu Ran hadn’t expected to see Luo Qianqian downstairs. Luo Qianqian was standing there as if she was waiting for someone. Upon seeing her, Luo Qianqian walked over.

His heart instantly tightened.

But then he heard Luo Qianqian say earnestly, ”Don’t forget to take Han Chen with you to apologize to Elvis. Even though none of you actually fought, he got hurt because of your incident.”

Xiu Ran was stunned, then nodded.

Luo Qianqian tilted her head, smiled at Xiu Ran, and then waved her hand, ”Then I’ll be off first.”

Zhang Yun looked at Xiu Ran’s smiling face and was speechless, ”Are you lovestruck or what?”

Could it be she thought Lin Jiayou also behaved like this???

She quickly pulled out a small mirror from her bag and meticulously checked herself from all angles, nodding in satisfaction when done, ”She’s gotten a lot fairer.”
