Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1747: Chapter 1727:

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the party at the Forget Worries Tea House, and the entire area was reserved by the tea house. Although anyone could enter, you needed an invitation to get in during their snack service.

This elicited groans from many, but it’s understandable. Why should the Forget Worries Tea House let strangers eat for free?

Drinks are already free, so we shouldn’t be too greedy.

Many who didn’t have custom outfits and just planned to join the fun were waiting at the entrance for their chance to get in.

At this moment, Luo Qianqian was in a dress, looking completely uncomfortable, feeling somewhat awkward.

"I don’t know why, but I feel like this dress is a bit too revealing now..." Luo Qianqian looked at He Wenyu with a strange expression, almost wanting to wrap her entire body in a bedsheet.

He Wenyu rolled his eyes: "Do you know why?"

"Why?"

He Wenyu calmly walked over to Luo Qianqian and handed her the inner lining she had left aside: "Because you are indeed very exposed."

Luo Qianqian: "..." She quickly put on the inner layer, slipped into the dress, and then wrapped a shawl around her, finally breathing a sigh of relief: "Do you think we’re at the forefront of fashion?"

"What fashion? Remember when we wore cheongsams at the Sect Conference, those were also considered revealing compared to everyday clothes, yet they were widely popular and imitated?" He Wenyu maintained a calm demeanor: "Moreover, we didn’t make a mockery like in those fashion shows, wrapping ourselves in strange quilts or plastic bags, did we?"

"Since when did you start paying attention to fashion shows?" Luo Qianqian was suddenly filled with surprise.

He Wenyu shrugged: "My mom’s interested, not me, I just happened to glance over. Some indeed look good, but others are really hard to praise."

Luo Qianqian shrugged in agreement. Though fashion is cyclical, so-called fashion is a competition of flamboyance, pushing boundaries to attract attention, though not always accepted in daily life.

He Wenyu sighed helplessly: "But do you think our class will forget about tomorrow’s big event after partying, and all sleep in?"

"Do you think even if you’re excited for a spring outing the next day, you wouldn’t get up?" Luo Qianqian looked trusting, at least she wouldn’t forget. After all, it’s the biggest thing for her to come out for.

"Hey, this is like an exam level, how can you compare it to a spring outing?" He Wenyu pouted with dissatisfaction: "At least spring outings are fun, aren’t they? But this monthly test is only nerve-wracking and full of unknowns."

"Isn’t it like how we felt going to the Haunted House?" Luo Qianqian was composed: "Ah, I suddenly miss the days of going on spring outings."

"...Not at all! At least with the Haunted House, despite feeling apprehensive, you know something will try to scare you. It’s just those few points of scares, but tomorrow, do you know what’s going to happen? There’s not even a basic scope, no focus for the exam, how terrifying!"

"An exam without key points means testing on everything, but now there’s not even a concept of ’everything’..."

"Heavens, I’m doomed!"

He Wenyu looked skyward, his face full of resistance: "I suddenly find exams more endearing now; at least they have an outline!"

Luo Qianqian stood quietly, appreciating the absurdity. If everything had boundaries, how would it be life?

Life doesn’t give you boundaries.

"Oh right, this is from my brother, a handmade carving." He Wenyu’s eyes caught something on the table; he quickly walked over and opened a box: "Hehe, though you’re mostly not going to use it now, I must admit, my brother has some talent in carving."

Inside the box was a beautiful white jade...little duck.

"This duck looks really nice, it seems plump." Luo Qianqian picked up the pendant and earnestly admired it.

He Wenyu’s face stiffened: "D-duck?"

"Or is it...a goose? Oh, I get it, it’s a swan. I mean, it’s so white; it can’t be just a regular duck..." But looking at the jade sculpture in her hand, she doubted. Whose swan has such a short neck?

"Swan?" He Wenyu’s cheek twitched slightly: "Alright, whatever you say it is..."

"It’s not?" Luo Qianqian quickly examined it closely, it looks like a duck, right? What else could it be?

Could it be a mandarin duck? Unlikely, would her brother give her a pair of mandarin ducks? Impossible.

But still, she happily hung it around her neck, feeling proud: "Gotta give face to my brother’s work, right?"

He Wenyu: "Mm, as long as you’re happy." She quietly turned her gaze away.

Somehow, the more she looked at it, the more it resembled a duck, and a rather plump one at that...

The two of them opened the door, just as Luo Yanhai was waiting at the entrance. Luo Qianqian adjusted her shawl so he could see her neck.

Luo Yanhai saw the pendant on Luo Qianqian’s neck and sheepishly smiled: "It’s my first time carving, not very skilled, what do you think, Shiqi?"

"It’s quite nice." Luo Qianqian tucked it under her shawl and smiled. But she wasn’t foolish enough to ask directly, ’What exactly did you carve?’ That would be too much of a blow for Luo Yanhai.

"To be able to carve a specific shape on the first try is quite rare. Maybe get guidance from the eldest brother next time, it should improve." Luo Qianqian said seriously.

"Really?" Luo Yanhai also smiled happily. The jade was sponsored by He Wenyu, and because of a few Spirit Stones, he wanted to carve something himself.

"Shiliu, Shiqi, Xiao Hai." Luo Xiying and Bai Yixian came out from the changing room in perfectly matching color schemes and smiled at them: "You dressed really nicely."

"...Shiqi, that wouldn’t be Xiao Hai’s dove of peace on your neck, would it?" Luo Xiying suddenly asked strangely, moving closer to Luo Qianqian with an odd expression.

Luo Qianqian, incredulous, loosened her shawl: "This is a dove of peace?"

He Wenyu silently lowered her head, it was a truth she didn’t dare acknowledge...

"A standing dove of peace, symbolizing peace and hope." Luo Yanhai quickly added.

Luo Qianqian: "..." Sorry, can she take back her previous words? It really does look like a duck!

Seeing Luo Qianqian’s bemused expression, Luo Xiying patted her twice, sighing.
