Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1870: Chapter 1850:

”By the way, Mo and the others went back to the academy first. They’ll be back for dinner. Would you like to help out?” He Wenyu clapped his hands and looked at Tantan with a helpless smile: ”She was afraid of waking you, so she stubbornly dragged her things over there to sleep. She’s so considerate it makes your heart ache.”

To be precise, she doesn’t cause any trouble at all, finding things that seem rarely used. Even when lying down, she uses their seat cushions, and the pillow is nothing more than a folded small towel, with another towel covering her belly, looking just like a pillow...

Luo Qianqian helplessly picked her up, and conveniently took out a baby crib. Though the Xuanming Ring hasn’t been used much recently, she can still feel assured at the Forget Worries Tea House, right?

Carefully placing Tantan in it, she didn’t forget to cover her with a small blanket, then smiled helplessly: ”Silly girl, you don’t have to be so considerate.”

After they wrapped all kinds of pastries, the tasks of steaming, boiling, frying, and baking were handed over to Luo Yanran and He Wenyu. Luo Qianqian calmly washed up for everyone and then cooled down the kitchen before stepping out.

But as soon as she came out, she saw Tantan sitting on the bed, wearing a bewildered expression.

”What’s wrong?” Luo Qianqian came over and conveniently picked her up.

”Is this for Tantan?” She had already seen the ’little brother’s’ bed, and it wasn’t the same as this one.

”Yes, it’s for Tantan. You have to take good care of it, because when you grow a little bigger and can’t use it anymore, it will be for the little brother.” Though they don’t lack such things, it’s still important to cultivate good habits of thriftiness in children.

Tantan couldn’t stop nodding with joy: ”Thank you, sister!”

”So happy now? How about Tantan shares a room with Brother Hai? If you have any issues, you can find your brother, or do you want to stay by yourself?” Luo Qianqian was quite gentle.

Tantan propped her chin: ”Can’t I stay with my sisters?”

”Hmm.” Luo Qianqian nodded. The academy would soon become dangerous, so she couldn’t let Tantan follow them. It was best to prevent her from familiarizing herself with the academy altogether.

”Then I’ll stay with my brother. Sister’s brothers are all good brothers.” Tantan said decisively.

Luo Yanhai couldn’t help but laugh: ”Why, am I only considered a good brother because I’m your brother?” He laughed at Luo Qianqian, and shook his head helplessly: ”But honestly, this child is really cute and not shy at all.”

”The main point is she can clearly distinguish between enemies and allies.” Luo Qianqian was calm: ”When the big brother practices morning exercises, take her along. When An Hao was this age, he was already causing trouble everywhere. Our Nine Heavens Pavilion children need to be lively.”

”Are you encouraging your sister to run around and cause trouble at the Forget Worries Tea House?” Luo Yanhai felt somewhat helpless: ”But directly speaking to her, and communicating with children, is very troublesome indeed.”

Watching Luo Yanhai walk away, Tantan frowned with a puzzled look: ”Is the big brother not fond of Tantan?”

”Not fond?” Luo Qianqian was taken aback and quickly shook her head: ”The big brother is not unwilling to like you, but the one he likes most is me, your sister. Otherwise, I would feel so sad and shed tears.” Luo Qianqian covered her mouth, stifling a laugh, noticing the footsteps behind her slowing down, she continued: ”Your big brother’s favorite is your sister, even Tantan shouldn’t compete with me.”

”Hmm, Tantan won’t compete with sister.” Tantan solemnly said: ”Tantan also really likes sister.”

”Okay, are you well-rested now? Soon there will be food ready.” Luo Qianqian smiled as she washed Tantan’s face, casually washing her hair too: ”Next time, don’t lie directly on the floor, your hair will get dirty, and if Tantan is grubby, no one will like her, plus Tantan will not look pretty.”

Tantan looked at her hair, nodding, obediently letting Luo Qianqian style it.

When He Wenyu came out, he saw Tantan with two braided pigtails on her head and immediately got a big reaction: ”I can immediately tell whose masterpiece this is.”

”Smart,” Qin Nuan chuckled: ”But actually, it’s not too bad. At least if you don’t look closely, you can’t tell.”

Meanwhile, Luo Qianqian was playing ’123 Wooden Man’ with Tantan. Even Luo Yanhai, Lin Jiayou, and Cong Ying were involuntarily drawn in...

Of course, Di Jun and Long Tu who came for the meal couldn’t escape either, while Mo leaned quietly against a tree watching the whole scene, with a constant smile, like a painting.

Tantan’s little face was full of seriousness as she moved step by step toward Luo Qianqian.

”Why aren’t you playing?” He Wenyu sat down and asked Qin Nuan.

Qin Nuan shrugged: ”I’m lazy. Besides, if I play, who will be here sneaking snacks?”

The main reason is, she’s afraid that if she joins in, the game would end too soon. Playing with those who haven’t played much and the kids is more fun.

Ultimately, Di Jun surprisingly won the game with utter seriousness, leaving not just He Wenyu and Qin Nuan but even Luo Qianqian speechless. Why do you take a children’s game so seriously?

Does this align with the entertainment aspect of the word ’game’? It looks like he was competing at a professional level.

”Alright, hurry and come eat.” He Wenyu called out when he saw things had ended, though he couldn’t help but look at Di Jun with eyes full of helplessness.

Di Jun had an innocent look, wasn’t winning enough? Why did everyone give him strange looks?

Tantan tilted her head and grabbed Luo Qianqian’s hand. When Luo Qianqian squatted down, she whispered in her ear: ”Brother Xiao Bai plays seriously, the others are letting Tantan win.” But doesn’t anyone in this yard have a bit of cultivation level? They can all hear it clearly, right?

Luo Qianqian looked surprised: ”How did Tantan know?”

”I felt it,” Tantan replied earnestly.

”Then...why call him Brother Xiao Bai?” Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but ask.

”Because, he’s fair-skinned, and the brother next to him is a bit darker. So, he’s Brother Xiao Hei,” Tantan replied with an earnest look.

Luo Qianqian: ”...Alright, as long as it makes you happy.”

After all...they also feel that Di Jun looks quite like a pretty boy.

After eating the delicious food, Luo Qianqian packed a few portions and headed back to the academy. At the doorway, Tantan waved vigorously at their retreating backs until they vanished from sight, then hesitantly returned to the courtyard.

But the people in the courtyard did not change their attitude towards her. Instead, they invited her over to eat fruit without any differentiation.

This small gesture relieved Tantan’s little heart.
