Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1057: Chapter 1037: Decision

Upon hearing Bai Yixian’s words, Luo Yanran fell silent. Even though he hadn’t come into contact before, he never wanted to experience that feeling from last night again.

A sensation that made him want to vomit just by touching it.

”I want ice cream...” A weak voice came through, and several people turned to see Luo Qianqian with sweat all over her face, giving them a weak smile.

”How are you feeling?” Luo Xiying immediately leaned by Luo Qianqian’s window, concern written all over her face.

Luo Qianqian weakly and painfully tugged at the corners of her mouth: ”I want to eat ten ice creams...”

However, her face had regained some color, not as pale as before.

”Eat yourself to death! See the doctor first!” Luo Yanran stood grumpily by the bed, glaring at Luo Qianqian: ”If you do it again, I’ll make sure you never see ice cream again!”

”Yes!” Luo Yanwu, who had been reluctant to deal with Luo Yanran, now stood by his side. This sister was too unruly, what else could he do?

Bai Yixian’s mouth twitched, what kind of threat is this? High-level threat? Depriving someone of ice cream?

Why did it not feel like a threat at all?

Luo Qianqian obediently nodded and looked at Bai Yixian: ”Big Brother Bai, what time is it now?”

”It’s the morning of the first day of Lunar New Year, just past eight.” Bai Yixian glanced at his watch and then sighed.

Luo Qianqian nodded, her face full of urgency: ”Uncle, Big Brother Bai, Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Happy New Year, wishing you prosperity, red packets please.” She extended her hand, slightly trembling, towards them with a smile.

Old Master Luo outside the door entered with a head full of black lines: ”You still remember to ask for New Year’s money?”

As soon as they reached the door, they heard Luo Qianqian weakly asking for red packets, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.

”Grandpa...” Luo Qianqian blinked guiltily: ”Happy New Year...”

She spread her hands towards Old Master Luo, the meaning clear without words.

Yue Tingyu quickly pushed Old Master Luo aside, entered the room, and saw Luo Qianqian weakly smiling. She immediately glared in anger but couldn’t bring herself to be harsh: ”All you do is eat, and now you’ve got gastroenteritis, huh? Still cocky? From now on, you’ll only have porridge!” Her tone harsh, but her eyes full of concern.

Luo Qianqian immediately understood what was happening, having previously used an upset stomach as an excuse to leave.

She covered her head with the blanket, showing a shy expression.

”What happened, are you uncomfortable again? Once you’re discharged, Aunt will give you a big red packet!” Ye Qianying entered the ward and nervously pushed aside her son and nephews to reach the bedside, seeing Luo Qianqian with her head under the blanket.

”Wasn’t it just too delicious? Then... can I have Grandma’s porridge instead?” Luo Qianqian peeked out with weak, large eyes, smiling tiredly.

”Grandma, Happy New Year, may you not get angry in the new year. Uncle, Happy New Year, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Happy New Year... Um, I want red packets, I promise not to buy food...” She timidly looked at everyone, extending a trembling little hand from under the blanket.

Luo Yanran’s lips twitched, his face full of helplessness.

Despite knowing she was diverting their attention, he still felt a deep sense of concern.

”Get checked first.” Luo Xihan frowned, her face serious.

”Alright, double red packets as promised, Second Uncle, don’t back out, or I’ll go after Fourth Brother’s...” Luo Qianqian chuckled mischievously.

After a round of checks, naturally, there wasn’t any problem.

The elders, reassured, let Luo Xiying take them home to cook porridge for Luo Qianqian.

Luo Xihan sat by Luo Qianqian’s bed, frowning at her weak appearance: ”Tell me, what happened?”

Luo Yanran, after opening his mouth, hurriedly poured Luo Qianqian a glass of water, then sat by the bed: ”Dad, Qianqian needs rest... Maybe later...”

”Then you tell me.” Luo Xihan’s face was full of coldness, clearly aware of their conspiracy to lie.

Luo Qianqian paused for a moment then lowered her head: ”It’s just that...”

”Qianqian!” Bai Yixian frowned, stopping Luo Qianqian from continuing.

Luo Xihan gave him a sharp look, making Bai Yixian feel exposed, forcing him to close his mouth awkwardly.

”It’s just that, I overate.” Luo Qianqian said firmly.

”Do you think we’re idiots?” Luo Xisi frowned at Luo Qianqian: ”Would a stomachache from overeating make you end up like this? Unconscious? Do you really think we’re so easy to fool? You think your grandfather is stupid?”

Luo Qianqian lowered her head, silently dissatisfied with her uncle for not believing her. Why bother with this excuse at all?

After a long silence, she still didn’t know where to start. Some things are hard to believe, even if spoken aloud...

”Uncle, Second Uncle, do you believe there are other species in this world? Those that exist but haven’t been discovered, unknown to most people...”

Hearing Luo Qianqian’s words, Jia Ning frowned slightly, exchanging glances with Ye Qianying: ”Qianqian didn’t encounter a ghost, did she?”

Ye Qianying widened her eyes: ”Don’t say such things, after all, we...” The word ’military family’ hadn’t yet left her mouth when her husband spoke up.

Luo Xisi: ”I believe it.”

Luo Xihan nodded as well, paying no mind to the words of the two wives behind them.

Luo Qianqian blinked: ”I was injured by that thing, and I’m too weak to...”

”What was it?” Luo Xisi immediately frowned, his face serious, the gravity on his face unmistakable.

”Dad, there’s no way to explain to you, just something discomforting.” Luo Yanwu smiled bitterly, could he admit they brothers weren’t even capable of protecting their sister? Not willing and not content.

”You all knew?” These three boys had only come out in the morning, and their previous worries didn’t seem fake, yet now...

Luo Xihan looked puzzled.

Luo Qianqian smiled wryly for a moment before pulling out a white porcelain bottle from under the blanket. She looked at her four brothers, and after they nodded, she slowly handed it to the nearest Luo Xihan: ”Second Uncle, if you take this, you’ll understand a little.”

Luo Xihan didn’t hesitate, opening the bottle and pouring a pill into his mouth.

Luo Yanran’s face darkened immediately: ”This is a hospital, Dad! Why couldn’t you wait?”

Luo Yanhao quickly pulled Luo Xihan: ”Let’s go, Dad, get a room first, did you bring your ID?”

The four brothers each took an adult out, and in a moment, the ward was left with only Luo Qianqian and Bai Yixian.

”Is it really okay to do this?” Bai Yixian sighed, looking at Luo Qianqian with an exploratory gaze as he watched Luo Yanran close the door.

Even though he didn’t know where Luo Qianqian’s things came from, he would never doubt Luo Qianqian’s possessions.

”Knowing something is better than... dying, right?” Luo Qianqian smiled wryly, looking towards the door for a long time before shifting her gaze: ”Does Zhuzi need it?”

”...Yes.” Bai Yixian hesitated for a long time, and upon considering Luo Qianqian’s intentions, he finally nodded.

Luo Qianqian, not stingy, directly pulled out a bottle: ”Five pills per bottle, if they’re not enough, ask me for more.”

”Okay.” Between Luo Qianqian and Bai Yixian, there was no need for thanks.

As long as Luo Qianqian needed it, he would protect her with his life.
