Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1734: Chapter 1714: Soul Ascension Pill

Looking at Ji Lei’s expression, Kuang Xiao knew what he was thinking. He must be regretting ”picking up a burden” again, right? After all, he always had that thought, so much so that it was not surprising anymore. Even if he thought with his toes, he could guess it.

But this was understandable. After all, when Ji Lei took care of him back then, he didn’t show extraordinary talent. He truly treated him as a brother, protecting him from other brothers’ bullying. And that’s why, after his remarkable success, only this brother could hold a place in front of him.

Though his mouth and eyes always showed disdain for this burden, he always thought of leaving something for him. It was obvious Ji Lei always took less than him, making him sigh in his heart at times.

He understood but wouldn’t leave food for Ji Lei. He would provide Ji Lei with better things in the future!

”I’m going to class now, you stay here. Oh, by the way, go to Forget Worries Tea House to choose the color of the dress. The measurements and everything were already taken by Shiliu and Shiqi. You also get one made, I’ll reimburse you when I return. The invitation is on the table.”

Ji Lei walked in the direction of the door but quickly paused, turned to Kuang Xiao, and pointed at the table, ”Forget Worries Tea House hasn’t opened yet, but the food you liked before was all from Forget Worries Tea House.”

”Alright.” Kuang Xiao was taken aback for a moment but nodded knowingly. He naturally knew about this...

But being the most popular in the academy and yet not being invited? While his older brother, just a regular teacher, was invited?

Thinking the young owners of Forget Worries Tea House were those two clueless girls, he could only grit his teeth and bear it, changed into ordinary clothes, wore a cloak and hood, and left.

Upon arriving at Forget Worries Tea House, it just so happened that Luo Yanhai was busy upfront organizing the newly arrived fabrics. Seeing Kuang Xiao, he was initially startled, then looked at the cloak he wore and smiled, ”You’re probably a classmate of Shiliu Shiqi, please come in.”

But after glancing at the time, he felt puzzled because very few people came around except for Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu, given that it was class time.

Kuang Xiao handed the invitation, ”I’m here to check out the colors.”

Seeing the color of the invitation, Luo Yanhai was suddenly stunned. This young man in front of him was Luo Qianqian’s teacher?! Teachers nowadays are so young? Do they look the same as students?

No wonder that elderly person clearly had very lively skin but insisted on carrying an old face. This incident made people somewhat understand.

This truly lacked any dignity! Compared to the young appearance, evidently being older seemed to bring dignity.

”Just in time, new fabric colors have arrived. See if there are any you like?” Having first contact with the teachers here, Luo Yanhai was also a bit nervous.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Kuang Xiao was also somewhat dazed. Where exactly was the resemblance to Ji Lei?

...Alright, he indeed didn’t deny he wasn’t.

After all, they did look quite similar, so he didn’t need to say anything.

”What styles are there?” Looking at the colors, Kuang Xiao was dazzled. So many colors, how should he choose?

Looking at the two mannequins at the door wearing clothes that were quite figure-hugging but seemed very good too? He inexplicably wanted to try them on.

Seeing Kuang Xiao’s gaze, Luo Yanhai understood, ”There are ready-made garments at the door, would you like to try them?”

The gentleman at the door was wearing a white suit, and the lady was in a cheongsam popularized by the previous sect competition, both very figure-flattering. If the figure was not particularly good, they wouldn’t look nice wearing them.

”Can I?” Hearing that he could try on clothes, Kuang Xiao was shocked. Previously buying clothes just involved measuring sizes to buy.

”Of course, we at Forget Worries Tea House provide the most comforting service. If it fits you, buy it. If it doesn’t, you don’t have to; we treat everyone fairly.” Luo Yanhai smiled, ”There’s the dressing room, I’ll check your size...” saying this, he started searching for a notebook.

Kuang Xiao quickly said, ”The record is of my brother’s size; mine needs to be re-measured.”

Though they are brothers, there’s some difference in build.

”Ah... alright.” Luo Yanran was also initially dumbfounded but thought it through, realizing this shows good brotherly affection, doesn’t it?

”My brother wants this color, I’ll try that one.” After Luo Yanhai finished measuring, Kuang Xiao happily chose the color he thought looked best.

”Alright... hmm...” Looking at the bright blue color Kuang Xiao pointed at, he could only silently pray that Teacher Ji Lei wouldn’t be too dark-skinned, or it would look really bad...

”Uncle, take a set of signature in size 180.” Luo Yanhai calmly shouted upstairs.

”Okay.” Soon, Bai Yixian came downstairs holding a neatly organized suit, saw the handsome boy at the door, and was startled before praising, ”A handsome young man.”

Soon after hearing this, Luo Xiying rushed downstairs, looking carefully to see exactly how handsome this ’handsome young man’ mentioned by Bai Yixian was.

”There are paper instructions inside on how to wear it; if unclear, you can call me.” Seeing the expression of his little uncle, Luo Yanhai silently moved his gaze away, opened the clothes and handed them to Kuang Xiao, pointing to the fitting room.

Kuang Xiao nodded, feeling that Luo Xiying’s gaze was scary. He hadn’t offended this person, right?

Quickly dodging the scene, he didn’t want to offend Forget Worries Tea House. Besides the apparent backing of the tea house—the deputy dean, there were people he particularly feared, and he couldn’t gamble his or Ji Lei’s future.

Seeing the drawn map, and the very considerate tables and chairs inside, and even a very clear full-length bronze mirror, he was amazed.

Speaking of this full-length bronze mirror, it took quite some effort, being painstakingly polished with a layer of copper to reduce shine and make it less noticeable.

For this, Luo Yanhai both resented and admired Luo Qianqian... Specially ordered from modern times! Also lucky that Tang Guo isn’t an ordinary little one, or she’d be exhausted!

After changing according to the manual, Kuang Xiao looked at himself in the mirror and was amazed. He really looked pretty good!

No wonder many liked him; he indeed looked nice.

Most of the credit goes to his mother, who was the first Beauty?

So even if he was ugly, it wouldn’t be too bad.

Unavoidably smug...
