Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1735: Chapter 1715:

When Kuang Xiao came out, Bai Yixian had already been dragged away by Luo Xiying to discuss the matter of ’handsome’.

Even Luo Yanhai, a straight guy, had to admit that Kuang Xiao was indeed very good-looking. Wearing this outfit, with long legs, a well-proportioned figure, and delicate brows and eyes...

If he were a woman, he would be attracted too...

Unfortunately, he’s not, and he considers himself not ugly either.

”How do I look?” Kuang Xiao asked nervously, looking at Luo Yanhai. After all, this was his first time showing off to outsiders.

”Not bad, but something seems off with the shoulder area.” Luo Yanhai naturally stepped forward, adjusted it for him, and then nodded: ”Alright, do you feel any discomfort anywhere? Is this size okay?”

”Yes, it’s fine. How many Glory Points?”

”Ah, our shop accepts Gold Coins or Spirit Stones, not Glory Points.” Luo Yanhai quickly pointed to the wooden board hanging under the counter.

It felt odd, like other shops had mobile payments but theirs was still on cash payments, seemingly old-fashioned.

However, Luo Qianqian also mentioned, at the academy, anything could be exchanged directly through them, making them like a mobile payment platform, also with delivery service.

What’s key is that outside the honor points leaderboard, those items are also on the internal academy’s leaderboard, and the exchange rate is pretty favorable. So whatever is needed, they can exchange it directly within the academy.

”Then how much do I need? I only have a few Spirit Stones.” Kuang Xiao paused, frowning, as he was accustomed to using Glory Points.

”Three Spirit Stones are not enough, four will do... How about I treat you to some desserts? As change.” Seeing the Spirit Stones, Luo Yanhai said directly.

Upon hearing about desserts, Kuang Xiao nodded eagerly. Luo Shiliu and Luo Shiqi’s creations were already extremely excellent!

After changing out of his clothes, Kuang Xiao waited obediently like a child in kindergarten waiting for snacks.

”Alright, just a moment.” Luo Yanhai put away the Spirit Stones, calmly went to the backyard to bring out his afternoon tea, and placed it on the table: ”Try it, this is a new item not yet launched.”

This is precisely the shop’s specialty.

Each branch must have its own specialty, and this shop, due to Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu’s presence here, had directly set the theme as girly, with various floral desserts as the theme. A box with eight flavors of various snacks, and now what was placed before them were five kinds.

Rose pastry, osmanthus cake, cherry blossom candy, peach blossom dumplings, locust blossom glutinous rice balls, and the tea was jasmine clear tea.

”Try them. Shiqi likes this cherry blossom candy, Shiliu prefers the peach blossom dumplings, and personally, I like this jasmine tea.” Luo Yanhai generously invited Kuang Xiao to taste, while he picked up his tea.

Nowadays, some flowering trees were also planted on the Nine Heavens Pavilion Mountain, but the petal materials for these items were procured, as it’s not feasible to get the harvest immediately just by planting a tree.

Kuang Xiao picked up the locust blossom glutinous rice balls, since it seemed to have the most quantity.

After tasting one, he realized one thing... there might be people regularly gifting this to him in the future.

After tasting each, he nodded, finally pointing at the osmanthus cake and saying: ”I like this one, sweet and fragrant, the sweet flavor makes people feel really happy.”

Luo Yanhai: ”...” He would never admit he disliked sweet things the most.

”Is that so? I feel it’s quite nice too. I’ll pack you some to take back, we have plenty here.” Luo Yanhai was very welcoming towards ’big spenders’.

”Then I want this, I’ll give it to my brother and can eat more.” Kuang Xiao decisively pointed at the cherry blossom candy.

If not for the peach blossom dumplings being hard to pack, which would ruin the overall shape, he would surely choose the peach blossom dumplings.

Luo Yanhai silently nodded, soon bringing out a delicate wooden box, inside were ten cherry blossom candies, the round candies carefully placed in the box, even making a big man like Kuang Xiao feel the beauty.

Carrying his clothes and clutching the candies, Kuang Xiao left happily.

”...I’ll have to study the conversion between Spirit Stones and Gold Coins later, since I wasn’t informed of that.” Luo Yanhai sighed leisurely.

And after Kuang Xiao returned to the room, his mood improved even further, feeling like this errand was his happiness.

”What’s this? Did you buy it?” Ji Lei, upon returning, saw the clothes on the table and then looked at Kuang Xiao who was clearly in a good mood, raised his eyebrows in surprise, picked them up and looked at them, then smelled a peculiar scent. After sniffing around for a moment, he found it was the small box beside the clothes.

Kuang Xiao swallowed a bit, indeed pretending to be indifferent and said: ”Brought back for you, try it.”

Ji Lei opened the box in surprise, took out one and sniffed it, asking: ”What is this? Incense? Quite pleasant smelling.”

”It’s edible.” Kuang Xiao looked at Ji Lei with a face showing disdain for his ignorance, pouting: ”A new item from Forget Worries Tea House, given to me to try.”

”I see.” Ji Lei popped the candy into his mouth and immediately felt the sweet taste, involuntarily squinting slightly: ”Not bad, but you should eat it, those who like this are either little girls or children, I prefer...”

In an attempt to showcase his maturity, before his words were complete, the box on the table fell into Kuang Xiao’s hands. He carefully put it away: ”I am a child!”

Admitting without hesitation.

Leaving Ji Lei at a loss for words, he could only shrug, pretending not to care.

After all, compared to these candies, he preferred spicy hotpot.

Men should eat heartily!

Kuang Xiao continued: ”By the way, I’ve picked out the color for your clothes, they should still need to hurry with production.”

”Mm.” Ji Lei nonchalantly nodded: ”Later, you press for our class’s monthly assessment victory, don’t forget. I need to earn more points, Shiliu said there might be culinary offerings at Forget Worries Tea House.”

”...But Forget Worries Tea House can’t use Glory Points? They only accept Gold Coins and Spirit Stones.”

”No problem, as the honors leaderboard can still exchange them.” Ji Lei didn’t mind, shrugging: ”At worst, I’ll go through the back door, I’m their mentor, after all.”

Kuang Xiao: ”...” Do you have a bit of model teacher demeanor? Participating in students’ bets without any sense of guilt? Never seen a teacher like you!

Not ashamed but proud of using the back door?

No wonder he was assigned to lead the Yellow Class, as they often have backdoor dealings!
