Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1883: Chapter 1863:

Mo heard this and curled his lips.

Although the earlier conversation made him a bit uncomfortable, he was quite pleased with this part.

Cong Ying sniffed, looking at the two people: ”But, I still like him...”

”It’s normal to feel that way, and it’s not something you can get over in a short time. It usually takes about three months to calm down, right? You’ll meet someone better, let that idiot be a single dad,” Luo Qianqian snorted and said decisively.

He Wenyu also nodded repeatedly: ”But compared to others, he’s actually not bad. If you can’t move on, maybe just wait and see if there’s a chance to rise or look for another target. Don’t hang yourself on a single crooked tree, okay?”

Luo Qianqian said: ”...Exactly, there’s a whole forest of crooked trees... I mean, there’s also a vast and dense forest. We have many outstanding students in our class, and in other classes too. If nothing works out, it seems Ji Lei is single, want to get acquainted with him?”

He Wenyu: ”...” Do you realize how unreliable you are?

Cong Ying: ”...Maybe I shouldn’t. How about I try to join the selection team?” This way, she could avoid Lin Jiayou and perfectly calm herself down, having something to do would prevent her from overthinking.

”From a personal standpoint, I wouldn’t recommend you to go... but from another perspective, participating in the selection might not get you picked, plus it could make that guy nervous. It’s not a bad idea,” He Wenyu frowned at first but quickly got excited.

Even though the selection tends to have more men than women, girls without strong skills could easily be bullied. However, just because you participate doesn’t mean you’ll get selected, right? Moreover, they have support; getting in is difficult, but getting dropped out isn’t hard. And it doesn’t say you can’t quit, does it?

”Good idea, I’ll give Mo a heads-up. This way, with someone backing you, you can easily breeze through the first few rounds,” Luo Qianqian clapped her hands in excitement.

Mo, in the corner, sighed helplessly; with others talking like that, what could he do? He could only agree.

However, since she’d get knocked out eventually, it shouldn’t matter.

Once this was decided, Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu quickly decided to book a room at the inn. Come on, how could someone participating in the selection still care for kids?

Luckily, this was the only inn in the ’safe zone’, and since everyone just got the news and was on their way, there were still vacant rooms. Luo Qianqian directly told the owner: ”Keep an eye on her, don’t let anyone bully her, and if anything happens, protect her. I’ll cover any losses.” She showed the academy’s badge, and the owner nodded immediately but looked at the three with a flattering smile: ”You’re from Forget Worries Tea House, right? You don’t have to pay for the room, I just want a limited edition gift box...” He rubbed his hands together, looking embarrassed: ”My daughter’s birthday is coming up, and no matter how early I go, there are always people ahead of me, so...”

Not to mention the lady staying here, but the other two are frequent visitors from the academy and Forget Worries Tea House, so he trusted them. His issue wasn’t really the accommodation money but finding a gift his daughter would love.

”Won’t that mean you’ll still have to pay up?” Luo Qianqian, sensing the looks around her, immediately grabbed He Wenyu’s hand; you can’t just agree to such things lightly, especially in such a mixed environment.

”Paying isn’t a problem,” the owner said immediately, considering he had sent people to wait in line too... But they couldn’t beat those who had lined up much earlier.

Forget about being in the top fifty; most of them were over a hundred in line. Waiting two more days might be possible, but... Forget Worries Tea House does nighttime checks to ensure no one’s queuing early, and if they find anyone, they send them away. And if you’re stubborn about lining up, the next day they’ll skip your number. Their reasoning? They don’t sell to people who don’t take care of themselves.

So... there’s no way to continue queuing!

”Free meals, free lodging, whatever you need, just ask, okay?” The owner was out of options, after all... Besides these two, everyone else coming in and out were men, making it hard to communicate.

”There’s no way to buy it directly from the line; it’s limited, and we can’t disrespect those who waited,” Luo Qianqian shook her head. But seeing the owner’s disappointed expression, she smiled and said: ”However, I can sell you my membership customization for this year. You can customize a more luxurious and sumptuous banquet, even the limited edition from the main store will be available. So not just one gift box, we can handle even more.”

He Wenyu caught on, covering her mouth in mock shock: ”Are you crazy? Didn’t you say you’d use this year’s membership to order a Snow Fox cape for grandma?”

”...Oh, right.” Luo Qianqian covered her mouth, looking troubled.

Kidding, is there anything the old madam of Nine Heavens Pavilion can’t have? She wouldn’t need a special order from Forget Worries Tea House.

”Young lady, you need to keep your word, I’ll buy it, just buy it,” the owner insisted, as he had heard about the Forget Worries Tea House trade membership card available in Southern Li, but the price... they could only dream about it.

”What do you need? Let me see if I can come up with a compromise that fulfills everything at once without missing grandma’s birthday,” Luo Qianqian frowned and tilted her head to ask. Mainly, she didn’t want this owner to take advantage; they could easily afford the room and didn’t actually need the free accommodations.

”I just want a gift box, don’t trouble yourself, my daughter has wanted it for a long time,” said the owner hurriedly.

Luo Qianqian raised an eyebrow, not bad, not greedy?

”Alright... shouldn’t be a problem, right?” He Wenyu said, slightly worried, glancing at Luo Qianqian.

Cong Ying remained silent on the side; these two’s tacit understanding was such that they didn’t need any communication, no expressions, no language, nothing. One would open their mouth, and the other knew precisely how to continue the conversation.

”Well... when’s your daughter’s birthday?” Luo Qianqian tilted her head to ask.

The owner immediately replied: ”In three days.” Otherwise, he wouldn’t be in such a hurry; he was ready to skip a night’s sleep and line up immediately after Forget Worries Tea House’s night check.

”I’ll go back and check for you soon,” He Wenyu nodded too: ”It should be no problem, don’t worry, our sister will be staying... I mean, staying here with you.”

Cong Ying showed a black line on her forehead.

Staying???

What am I, exactly???
