Chapter 376: Chapter 358: Becoming Fat in One Gulp

Qin Nuan got off the train and immediately saw Luo Qianqian looking around anxiously, so she dropped her suitcase and ran straight to Luo Qianqian, "Qianqian, I missed you so much." Being much taller than Luo Qianqian, she accidentally knocked Luo Qianqian to the ground, leaving Luo Qianqian totally flustered.

"What are you doing? My sister is delicate, you know." Luo Yanran rushed over to help them up, looking at Luo Qianqian with concern.

Luo Qianqian grinned, "It’s okay, my head didn’t hit the ground; it’s just my clothes that got dirty."

Qin Nuan looked embarrassed, "I couldn’t control myself, sorry, so sorry."

Jia Ning looked at her significantly slimmed-down younger son with a pang of heartache, but seeing Luo Qianqian’s disheveled appearance swept away her gloomy thoughts. She amiably took out a thermos, "No wonder Qianqian brought food, you all look so skinny and pale." She said, touching Qin Nuan’s face.

Feeling embarrassed, Qin Nuan gave a shy smile, took the wet wipe Luo Qianqian handed her, cleaned her hands meticulously, and then grabbed a meat-filled bun, devouring it hungrily.

"My sister’s the best, remembering to bring food." On the other side, Luo Yanran didn’t even bother wiping his hands before picking up the fragrant bun and starting to eat.

Seeing the two of them already halfway through their food, Luo Qianqian hurriedly invited Qin Wen and Luo Yanran’s agent Sun Zhichao to eat.

The two didn’t hesitate, their stomachs aching at the sight of instant noodles over the past few days. Finally seeing something homemade, they couldn’t control their hands and started chomping down right away.

Qin Wen was a bit slower, first asking Luo Qianqian for a wet wipe before starting to munch on his bun.

Qin Nuan had already finished her share and, looking at the bag with only a few pieces of fruit left inside, pouted, "Why didn’t you bring more?"

Luo Qianqian handed her a tissue and said with a smile, "If you’re full now, you won’t have room for what Grandma made later."

Qin Nuan nodded excitedly.

Qin Wen, unable to help himself, stuffed the last bite of the bun into his mouth and squinted his eyes with satisfaction, "You didn’t tell mom and dad you were coming back because you wanted to freeload a meal, right?"

Qin Nuan argued defiantly, "Mom and Dad are busy, okay? I’m just being a considerate and good child."

"Pfft, good child, my foot." Luo Yanran, eating a tart apple, looked disgusted, "My sister is younger than you and she doesn’t call herself a baby."

Seeing the apple, Qin Nuan was about to reach out for one but was stopped by Luo Qianqian, who mysteriously pulled out a plastic insulated box from under the seat. The peaches inside it were lush and large.

She opened the box, picked out a strawberry, and teased Luo Yanran by waving it in front of him, "But your sister treats me even better."

Luo Yanran immediately became moody, giving Luo Qianqian a look full of silent reproach.

Luo Qianqian touched her nose, "Isn’t it that you don’t like peaches, Fourth Brother? I had Great Aunt buy a cake for you..."

"Hmph, my sister still treats me the best." For Luo Yanran, the standard of measurement was simple: price. No matter how you looked at it, a box of peaches couldn’t be worth as much as a cake.

Qin Nuan didn’t say a word because Luo Qianqian winked at her.

Sun Zhichao had made an early call to have a car come over, so for Jia Ning’s car, Jia Ning drove, with Luo Yanran in the passenger seat, the back seat occupied by Luo Qianqian and Qin Nuan, while in Sun Zhichao’s car, Qin Wen sat in the passenger seat, with luggage in the back.

They hadn’t taken much with them when they left, but each of them returned with a large suitcase. There was no other reason than the gifts from the terrified citizens who wanted to show their gratitude. They weren’t anything valuable, just trinkets, but it was the thought that counted.

Once at the Luo Family’s home, Qin Nuan immediately opened her suitcase, which was filled with all sorts of trinkets, though there was nothing edible.

Qin Nuan handed Luo Qianqian a giant panda stuffed toy that a child had given her, "You deserve a share of the credit."

Luo Qianqian accepted it with a smile.

After dinner, the four, full with food and drink, sighed contentedly that there really was no place like home. After a while, Sun Zhichao left, then Qin Wen called their parents, reminded Qin Nuan to come home on time that evening, and also left. Luo Yanran simply sprawled out on the sofa, refusing to budge, enjoying the occasional piece of fruit his sister brought him, while Qin Nuan sat to one side drinking juice and eating fruit, too full and satisfied to let go.

"You really did go on a diet," Luo Qianqian said with a light sigh, looking at Qin Nuan whose stomach was evidently full, her gaze softening. "Won’t your mom kill me for turning you into a laborer?"

Qin Nuan pouted, "After I became an adult, my mom has been busy cuddling up with my dad, with no time to care about what I do." After she finished speaking, she opened her mouth wide, and Luo Qianqian forked a piece of peach and stuffed it into Qin Nuan’s mouth.

"There, see, family harmony—look at me..." Luo Qianqian, looking aggrieved, glanced at Luo Yanran who was blatantly staring at her, "Not only do I have grandparents, a mother, uncles, an aunt, and even a brother to deal with, what can I say..."

"Pfft, you’re still a kid, what’s there to complain about? Oh, about the thing we talked about before leaving..." Qin Nuan suddenly became serious.

Luo Qianqian nodded, walked over to the sofa, handed Luo Yanran the half plate of fruit she still had in her hand, "Brother, eat more; I’m going to chat with Nuannuan."

Then she dragged Qin Nuan, who had eaten so much she could barely walk, upstairs to her room.

Qin Nuan’s face turned serious in a second, "Did you find out?"

Luo Qianqian frowned, "Actually, I didn’t even need to investigate because I was the main player in the first incident. As for the second one, the buyer just happened to visit my family, and it’s someone we know well. There was no need to investigate..."

"???" Qin Nuan raised an eyebrow, "What kind of luck is this? Why do all the good things happen to you?"

"...Aren’t you with me too?"

Qin Nuan covered her mouth and chuckled, but in the next moment, she became serious again, "How could you dare to pirate those songs? Weren’t you afraid there would be someone like us?"

"The key thing is, before I met you, I’d never encountered another ’one of our kind.’" They both implicitly agreed that the term "one of our kind" referred to fellow reborn individuals.

"I never thought I’d meet you either..." Qin Nuan pouted, "And what about the bronze heads issue?"

"You know Li Xiancheng, right? He’s the guy who bought them overseas," Luo Qianqian confessed bluntly. After all, it wasn’t a big secret. Li Xiancheng had chosen to donate anonymously to avoid trouble, but Qin Nuan wouldn’t spread the word.

"Oh, it just feels like so many things have changed..." Qin Nuan sighed, "By the way, why hasn’t Zhou Luo written any more since then?"

"...Would I tell you if I knew only those tunes and lyrics?" Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes. She wasn’t a KTV fanatic or something with a vast repertoire of songs; remembering that much was already good enough.

"Hehe, lucky you met me, then. I’ll talk to your brother someday and sell some songs to make money," Qin Nuan said with a sly smile.

Luo Qianqian shivered as she touched her own arm.
