Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1387: Chapter 1367: Femme Fatale and Beautiful Woman...

”That’s a bit strange...” If it were the other way around, she might have been able to guess what’s going on, but as it stands, it’s puzzling.

”Yeah, the faint scent on the wrist, and the strong scent on the back, different locations.” Mo spoke calmly, as if having seen through everything, with an understanding expression on his face.

Luo Qianqian’s face was full of astonishment. Even the scent can be detected, is this a dog’s nose?

However, she then took a deep breath and said with a smile, ”Let’s go, next stop.”

At the dormitory entrance, Luo Qianqian hesitantly glanced at the two people. Is there a scent here? She wanted to ask, but didn’t dare, so she just scanned the two with her eyes.

Yan looked at Luo Qianqian calmly: ”You already have an answer, don’t you?”

Mo, however, covered his nose and frowned tightly as he looked at the brightly lit dormitory building: ”What is this smell? A mix of fish and dragons, it’s a torment to the nose.”

”I see...” Luo Qianqian gave a bitter smile. This is the female dormitory. She would come here first instead of nearby, obviously having some speculation.

”Let’s go home; I know now.” Luo Qianqian pulled the corner of her mouth towards the two of them. ”Help me keep tonight’s matter a secret.”

But it was clear that there was no way to hide it; even if Luo Qianqian didn’t bring anyone, Elvis still had his unique tracking methods, quietly watching that small helpless figure on the computer screen, and he sighed.

When the three of them returned, Elvis was sitting in front of the sofa, pouring them wine, and said to Luo Qianqian with a smile, ”Drinking outside makes us worry at home, so tonight we’ll accompany you. Have a drink.”

Luo Qianqian looked around: ”An Hao slept?”

”Mori accompanied her to sleep, didn’t go to your room.” Elvis nodded calmly. ”Those two brothers are also playing games, busy as ever.”

”Hmm... Can Xiao Yu come out of the water now? I’m afraid she’ll get swollen if she soaks any longer...” Luo Qianqian looked at Yan, only smiling after seeing him nod: ”I’ll go settle her first; you guys wait for me.”

After saying that, she trotted upstairs. When Tang Guo saw Luo Qianqian return, she stopped heating water, with a cold face: ”I’m going back.”

Luo Qianqian calmly nodded, took out some fruits she found from Yan earlier, and tossed a few into Tang Guo’s arms: ”You need energy too, right? Eat first, and come to me for more when you’re done.”

”Okay.” Tang Guo looked at the fruits in her arms, disappeared into the bathroom after a moment of silence, but her eyes were very complex.

Luo Qianqian took He Wenyu out of the water, dried her body, put on clean and comfortable pajamas, and tucked her into bed. Kneeling by the window, she drew the moisture from her hair, gently tucked her in: ”Sweet dreams.”

After saying that, she changed clothes, turned off the light, glanced at the serenely beautiful sleeping face, and closed the room door.

Going downstairs, she found that the three of them had already placed the late-night snacks Yan and Mo bought on plates, still steaming and looking delicious.

Luo Qianqian sat down with a smile: ”Although I didn’t eat much tonight, I didn’t feel hungry, but now smelling the aroma, I do feel a bit hungry.”

Without hesitation, she sat down and started eating heartily, until she noticed the glass of ice water in front of her, raised an eyebrow, picked up her glass, and confidently downed the liquid inside without hesitation.

Elvis calmly poured her another drink. ”Drink slowly, no one’s fighting you for it.”

Even so, he poured himself a glass, watching Luo Qianqian calmly, and gently swirled his glass towards her.

The drink in front of them wasn’t red wine, white wine, or beer, but spirits.

While others would sip it slowly, Luo Qianqian drank it like water, expressionless.

It was unclear how long it took before her face showed signs of intoxication, and she quietly looked at Elvis: ”Do you have good friends?” Her expression was full of confusion.

Since she met Elvis, he didn’t seem to interact much with other students?

Elvis was taken aback, then smiled: ”Of course, I have friends, but we’re not often together like you and Xiao Yu.”

”Then what would you do if your friend betrayed you?” Luo Qianqian blinked her big eyes, full of bewilderment, but soon after, she gave a self-deprecating smile: ”No, it shouldn’t even be called a friend, more like...a classmate.”

”If it’s a classmate, what’s there to be sad about if they betray you?” Elvis was very calm, knowing quite a bit about the people and things around Luo Qianqian.

Because this person was his sister, though not related by blood, his foster father Luo Xinyue said that protecting Luo Qianqian was his lifelong duty as a father.

So it was his lifelong duty as well, and he would stop at nothing for it.

”But it’s still very sad...” Luo Qianqian pouted: ”During that time, so many people were present. Who did she really want to harm with this drug?”

Even if she knew who it was, she couldn’t understand the person’s motive...

If it was of the opposite sex, she could consider it a romantic interest in her, but with the same sex...

There was no situation where both liked the same man and needed to set each other up, leading one to lose their chastity and thus become a despicable existence in that man’s eyes, right?

This was completely unreasonable, wasn’t it?

”Have you ever thought...” Yan finally spoke after listening for a long time, shaking the glass in front of him, his gaze calm: ”She might have been sacrificing herself for others?”

”Is it really okay to use the word this way?” Luo Qianqian suddenly got a whole bunch of black lines, but her slightly dizzy head was like being smacked on the head, forcing her to wake up.

If that were the case, then... did he know?

Luo Qianqian suddenly started laughing, her laughter confounding Elvis until he slowly said, ”It’s said that since ancient times, beauties have had short lives, right?”

Elvis nodded, it was true.

”What about beautiful men?”

Beauties are trouble; the ancients had the ”beauty smiles ignite beacons for lords” incident in pursuit of a beauty like Baosi; in pursuit of a beauty’s favor, great expenditures were incurred to build Star-picking Tower...

Yet it seems these tales often belittle and solidify the ’beauty as trouble’ stereotype.

But wasn’t there also Pan An, a historically famous handsome man?

Descriptions of him were largely positive, and nowadays even idioms exist describing handsome men as being ”as handsome as Pan An.”

Absolute beauty might bring glory but also an inestimable amount of trouble, right?

”If you were girls, you’d certainly be at the level of troublemakers.” Luo Qianqian looked at the three of them, laughed, hugged the wine bottle and her glass, and stood up calmly: ”I’m going outside to sit for a while, you should rest early.”

After saying this, she opened the door, toasted to the moon, drank calmly, and showed no signs of drunkenness.
