Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1723: Chapter 1703:

"How many times have you read it already? Why are you still looking at it?" He Wenyu noticed the gaze from upstairs and turned to look at Luo Qianqian, who was standing at the door, still holding the photo with a look of fascination, leaving He Wenyu speechless.

"Look, how cute is this? I want to put it up..." Luo Qianqian started to say and then stopped.

Where should I stick it? No place seems right... Whether it’s the dorm or anywhere else, they’re not personal spaces, there’s always someone else around, isn’t there?

In that case, wouldn’t it be a bit inconvenient?

She let out a light sigh then smiled: "Why don’t I sew it onto your clothes? So you can see it every day."

"It’s so hard, forget it..." Comfort matters more for clothes.

He Wenyu looked at Luo Qianqian with speechlessness. She just said it casually, but now she couldn’t argue back...

"Shiqi, Shiliu, come in and help me, there are too many things." At this time, Luo Yanhai also called out.

Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu hurriedly went inside.

They ended up organizing until the evening, but luckily they had stayed at the old man’s house before, so they didn’t need to inform their roommates, who were already used to it anyway.

The difference was that that night the two of them still had to return to the academy because staying out overnight wasn’t allowed, even in Freedom City, so they had to return before the school gates closed. If they got caught, they’d be doomed... not even three years in, and they’d have to drop out.

They really didn’t have the guts to challenge the school’s authority.

"I feel like my mom’s such a gossip..." Rubbing her stomach, He Wenyu and Luo Qianqian quietly returned to the old man’s courtyard. Anyway, the old man said they could come over anytime... but apparently, after a month, that wouldn’t be possible.

"She’s just concerned about you, isn’t she? After all, she’s your mom. If it were the aunt next door, it’d just be gossip, but a mom definitely cares more." Luo Qianqian comforted. Actually, didn’t her mom also want to gossip? But... you need something to gossip about, right?

She could happily switch the topic.

"Sigh... your mom is the real gossip, mine’s better, she doesn’t pry into your business." He Wenyu sniffed.

She was definitely grateful they had to return to the academy at night, really didn’t dare go against school rules. Plus, who knows what might happen after the monthly exams...

That was what they inferred from the old man’s words, always feeling that this first monthly exam was linked to many things, though they had no idea why.

Upon returning, they also brought back most of the uneaten leftovers to the old man and Fu Qing for a night snack, saving them the trouble of cooking.

In fact, that evening they just tasted the bear paw... along with other meats, and even that left everyone stuffing themselves to the brim.

So the other dishes weren’t touched, otherwise how could they have brought leftovers back?

When the old man and Fu Qing smelled the aroma, they came out and their eyes lit up at the sight of the two.

"Lucky you still have a conscience." The old man wasn’t worried about them not coming back; even for freshmen in the first month, they still had to follow the rules, so there was nothing to worry about.

Moreover, he was confident these two girls would definitely bring back food, so he kept waiting.

"Ah, this cooking is superb, but it doesn’t taste like Shiliu’s usual cooking, right?" The old man took the first bite and widened his eyes; this taste seemed lighter, quite different from He Wenyu’s usual heavy use of chili.

Luo Qianqian poked her head in: "Sorry to burst your bubble, but that was fried rice, just a staple, since the food was ready early and got a bit cold, so I just fried it up a bit to heat it."

Since it was basic food, she didn’t add any seasoning at all...

So naturally, it was different from He Wenyu’s usual spicy recipes, which seemed to be at odds with chili.

"This flavor isn’t bad either." The old man was stunned, never expecting this reason, and quickly bowed his head to start eating the rice.

Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu also quietly returned to their room, their expressions as in sync as ever.

They assumed cultivation positions for a short while before He Wenyu scooted next to Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian opened her eyes, full of curiosity: "What’s up?"

"Let me tell you..." He Wenyu said softly, recounting the gist of a letter she’d received earlier, her face flushed: "What do you think...about it?"

"Uh, are you asking about Zhang Sheng or the writing in the letter..." Luo Qianqian was immediately at a loss, her brain momentarily crashing, unable to figure out what exactly He Wenyu was asking about...

"Talk about both..." He Wenyu felt like she was just making conversation for the sake of it, after all... she didn’t want to risk breaking up over a minor issue with Luo Qianqian...

"He was our elementary school classmate, though only for three years..." Luo Qianqian lowered her head and paused silently, then shared her impression of Zhang Sheng: "From a friend’s perspective, he’s a good person, pretty humorous too, and not bad-looking. As for his writing, while it can’t compare to classics like Luo Shenfu, it’s not bad either. You must understand he’s not the type who’d normally write such things. If he could’ve found you, he wouldn’t have gone this route."

He Wenyu nodded repeatedly; she knew Zhang Sheng used to copy essays from essay collections.

He even copied one titled "My Good Friend," writing about Qiao Yang, but then!

He described: My deskmate is an adorable boy.

Normal so far, no issues, though the adjectives were a bit odd, but forgivable.

He ties his hair into two small ponytails and likes wearing a beautiful pleated white skirt...

He only changed ’boy’ to ’girl’ without a second thought about the rest.

And Qiao Yang was ridiculed by the whole class for a while, questioned if he had some peculiar hobby? Liking to wear a pleated white skirt and tie two small ponytails... with that short hair, what could he do?

Indeed, even finding suitable parts to copy in the essay was hard for him, yet he wrote a love letter, which was astonishing!

A true braveheart dares to face their past head-on and confront the memories stored deep within!

At that moment, Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but applaud him; Zhang Sheng, at least, did pretty well with this love letter.

Though... only the last line sounded like it was really from him...
