Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1814: Chapter 1794:

”Is it really okay to start the celebration this late?” Qhianqhian asked, watching He Wenyu bustling around, ”Besides, there’s surgery tomorrow.”

”You’re not the one performing surgery. As long as you’re well-rested overnight, it’s fine. I got busy this afternoon and forgot, but I didn’t want to break my promise,” sighed He Wenyu. ”Forget the gathering, but we can still do takeout and deliver it.”

”And it’s free,” Qhianqhian sighed while helping to distribute the food. There’s no need for individual serving sets; just one pot of food and one pot of rice per dorm room is enough.

Of course, there’s also the old man’s portion, or he’d be upset.

”You wouldn’t charge your own people, would you? Have you called Di Jun and Long Tu?” He Wenyu calmly asked, looking at the large steel pot in front of him and chuckled, ”I feel like one pot per dorm might not be enough...”

”I told you to find a couple more people to help, but you wouldn’t listen. Didn’t the old man say he’d be back late tonight and asked you to save some food for him?” Qhianqhian complained, ”You’re offering one type of dish per dorm room; if they like one dish and not the other, wouldn’t that seem like favoritism?”

”One type per dorm room? No way, these are for recovering patients and those who can’t eat spicy food. We have to consider the patients, right? Otherwise, it would seem inconsiderate,” He Wenyu said, shaking his head at the two pots of food on the ground. ”Besides, what’s in here isn’t greasy. It doesn’t suit those who are ardent meat eaters, does it?”

”Can we come in?”

Before Qhianqhian could respond, she heard a voice from outside the courtyard, quickly got up, and opened the door to see Di Jun and Long Tu carrying a lot of wild game approaching.

”Come in. The old... the teacher isn’t here. Make yourself at home,” Qhianqhian said cheerfully. ”In a moment, I’ll need you to help deliver the dishes. What’s ready now is for the patients and those who can’t eat spicy food.”

”We don’t need anything special, we’ll just eat what we brought,” Di Jun chuckled but quickly looked at Qhianqhian strangely, ”Shiqi, where are you hurt? Not healed yet? Want me to help?”

”... Get lost,” Qhianqhian’s smile vanished immediately upon hearing that.

Why is there another idiot like Feng Xiangyi?

Oh my god, being a girl is really tough!

”Why so fierce?” Di Jun muttered, sniffing the delicious aroma on the side but soon frowned, ”Why is there a bloody smell? Shiqi, are you still bleeding?”

”I’m gonna kill you!” Qhianqhian swung her arm, and the Thousand Mechanism Box appeared in her hand, directly aimed at Di Jun...

Di Jun was utterly stunned, standing there in shock.

What the heck? What did he say wrong? Can’t he show some concern?

”Ahem...” Long Tu pulled Di Jun over and smiled helplessly, ”Shiqi, he’s... still young.”

Qhianqhian: ”??? You’re not young??? Talking nonsense at your age...

Wait...

Qhianqhian blushed while looking at Long Tu, ”You know?”

Long Tu awkwardly looked up at the sky, where silent understanding passed between them...

Qhianqhian howled and ran towards the kitchen, but before she could say anything, He Wenyu bluntly pushed her out, ”I’m cutting chili peppers. Don’t come in and cause trouble.”

Qhianqhian stood in the courtyard, neither going in nor leaving, uncertain of what to do for a moment. She could only look up at the sky with her red cheeks...

”Here,” Long Tu watched Qhianqhian for a moment, took a deep breath, walked up, and handed her a belt embedded with nine pieces of fiery red stones.

Qhianqhian took it in confusion, and her face flushed red again...

This belt is warm, Warm Jade, and there are nine of them.

”Take it as an apology, I’m sorry, I didn’t know anything,” Long Tu said in a low voice.

Qhianqhian was both angry and speechless. What kind of ”I didn’t know” is this?!

But, she really... kind of liked it.

She sighed, ”Then I’ll forgive you. Go deliver the dishes; we’ll have barbecue later.”

”Great,” Di Jun immediately jumped up, ”Where should we deliver them to?”

”Just deliver to the dorm and call the people there, saying it’s for the patients. The rest will arrive shortly, so don’t come back to avoid chaos,” Qhianqhian said calmly, pulling out a paper bag of brown sugar, ”Complimentary from the generous Shiqi, make yourself a brown sugar drink.”

Because... she really didn’t like the taste.

Long Tu hadn’t even had a chance to speak when the Emperor, already bringing items with him, left. Meanwhile, the next pot was ready, and Long Tu had no choice but to deliver it, too.

Fortunately, at this time, there weren’t many people around, or else the aroma... well, even if there was no one around, even though they had gathered in two dorm rooms to eat, the fragrance still spread.

Not to mention the Mystery Class, even the Earth Class and the Heaven Class were all wondering what this great smell was.

Only... Ji Lei, who came following the scent, cast a barrier to contain the aroma from spreading further.

For Di Jun and Long Tu, who continued delivering, there wasn’t much difference... it was the same.

Why is that? Since they could only sniff but not eat, whether there was a smell or not didn’t matter.

After they finished delivering and announced it, they walked away quietly.

Ji Lei’s eyes darted around, guessing that they must have something else to eat. Even if there was something else to eat, he had already eaten too much...

And since everyone else seemed so satisfied, he chose not to expose them.

After all, folks had been busy for so long, so why couldn’t they enjoy something nice?

Especially since Luo Shiqi seemed quite aggrieved.

For being unexpectedly coddled into winning first place. Although he didn’t really understand it, given his age, he could probably make some guesses.

After the feast ended, he leisurely returned to his dorm room, only to not find Kuang Xiao, leaving him a bit puzzled.

This kid wouldn’t have gone along with the four to mooch food, right? Watching people eat without returning? That’s not logical...

Nonetheless, since he didn’t bring any food back, him returning late was also fine.

Meanwhile, Kuang Xiao, crouching by a corner wall, could only shed tears uncontrollably...

Because the corner he was leaning against was the kitchen’s, and it was too spicy!

But by the time they were doing the barbecue, He Wenyu obviously didn’t make it too spicy because they had to consider Qhianqhian.

Long Tu had no comment, but when Di Jun muttered one complaint, he successfully became the target of glaring eyes and kept his additional comments to himself.

”Come, cheers to us taking first place again,” He Wenyu said, holding up his tea, looking calm.

Qhianqhian’s cup still emitted steam, but it wasn’t hot tea; it was hot milk...

”Cheers.” After taking a large gulp of milk, Qhianqhian still appeared resentful, ”But I’m still kind of bummed...”
