Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 112 - Luo Fan Arrives

Chapter 112: Chapter 112 Luo Fan Arrives

Gu Qianqian, who was preparing for her middle school exams, had come first in the test, and she was very happy about it.

It was Wednesday, and although it was early May, the sunlight was exceptionally warm. She walked towards home with a spring in her step.

These past few days, her sister had been the one cooking, and although there were no extravagant dishes, the food was surprisingly delicious.

She had always thought that her mother was the best.

Yet she had never imagined that her sister was even better than her mother.

Walking the road with a smile on her lips, Gu Qianqian suddenly heard a voice from behind, “Little girl, little girl…”

...

Turning her head, she saw a young man with a tall figure about a dozen steps away, smiling at her with peach blossom eyes.

Then, the young man walked towards Gu Qianqian.

He asked with a smile, “Little girl, can I ask you about someone?”

“Uncle, who are you looking for?” asked Gu Qianqian curiously.

Luo Fan, trying hard to emit kindness and a smile to the little girl, felt his mouth twitch—was he really that old?

But he quickly asked, “I want to know where Gu Qiaoqiao’s house is?”

Gu Qianqian blinked and blurted out, “What do you want with my sister?”

Sister?

The smile on Luo Fan’s face deepened, “So you must be Gu Qiaoqiao’s sister, right?”

“I already mentioned the word ‘sister,’ and you’re still asking…” Gu Qianqian found this man quite amusing, but she politely responded, “Yes, I am her sister.”

“That’s great.” Luo Fan’s expression was one of joy, “I’m a friend of your sister and brother-in-law in Imperial Capital. My name is Luo Fan.”

“Hello, Luo Fan Uncle.”

Oh, so he was a friend of her sister and brother-in-law, Gu Qianqian hurriedly greeted him.

Luo Fan looked at the bright-eyed, vivacious young girl before him, tugged at the corner of his mouth and corrected, “Little girl, your sister and brother-in-law call me Luo Fan Bro, isn’t it a bit much for you to call me Uncle Luo Fan…?”

Yeah, it seemed like a mix-up.

Gu Qianqian stuck out her tongue and quickly said, “Luo Fan Bro, my house is not far ahead, I’ll take you…”

“Alright, thank you, little girl.” Luo Fan followed Gu Qianqian as they walked forward, asking as they went, “What’s your name?”

“Gu Qianqian.”

“Which ‘Qian’ is it?”

“The one with the grass radical on top and the ‘west’ of the cardinal directions beneath…”

“Do you have a younger brother too?”

“Yes, my brother’s name is Gu Zishu, by now he probably has already run to the front door of the house…”

“…”

The tall and the short, the young and the younger, chatted away happily.

“Qianqian, in the future, don’t casually reveal such information to strangers.”

Luo Fan had learned quite a bit of information along the way, but he also felt that little Qianqian was too naive.

Gu Qianqian looked up in surprise, “Why?”

“Because in this world, there are not only good people but also bad people,” Luo Fan said with a serious expression.

Even though he was serious, there was still a hint of a smile in his eyes.

“My sister already told me, I know that,” said Gu Qianqian nonchalantly.

“Then why did you just tell me so much?”

“A lot?”

“Quite a bit.”

“But everyone in the village knows this.”

Alright, Luo Fan fell silent.

“Hehe…” Gu Qianqian laughed, “I know you’re a good person.”

“Oh?” Luo Fan raised an eyebrow, seemingly skeptical.

“Because your name is Luo Fan, my great uncle might even sell the vegetables from his greenhouse to your family’s hotel in the future. My uncle said that your family’s hotel is very beautiful, and the food is extremely delicious…”

Oh, that’s the reason.

Luo Fan nodded, that was actually true.

His family’s dishes were also top-notch in the provincial city.

“Hmm, maybe your sister can take you there sometime in the future,” he said.

“I still have school to attend,” Gu Qianqian replied tactfully.

Luo Fan smiled and did not continue the conversation.

By this time, he had already arrived at the front gate of the Gu Family home.

In this May weather, the Gu Family’s house was truly beautiful, even somewhat reminiscent of an imaginary land of joy and plenty.

The courtyard was enclosed by a hedge, and at this time, the willow branches on the hedges had sprouted bright, green leaves.

On one side of the courtyard, there were several trees full of light pink blossoms.

The path leading into the house was paved with red bricks, flanked by tender green grass.

And at the door stood the girl, Gu Qiaoqiao.

Seeing Luo Fan walk in, Gu Qiaoqiao seemed a bit surprised. “Brother Luo Fan?”

She must not have seen wrong.

But why was Luo Fan here?

And he came in with her sister, Gu Qianqian?

“Qiaoqiao, your home is very pretty,” Luo Fan praised with a smile.

Upon seeing the guests from inside the house, Gu Tianfeng quickly came out to greet them.

The host and guest exchanged pleasantries, as is customary.

And Luo Fan was indeed a charismatic speaker, soon striking up a conversation with Gu Tianfeng.

Luo Fan didn’t know why his grandfather valued Gu Qiaoqiao so much, but he felt there must be a good reason for it.

Moreover, Gu Qiaoqiao was talented; the nucleus carvings she crafted with her skillful hands were like nothing he had ever seen before—one could describe them as ingeniously made.

Although young in age, Gu Qiaoqiao conducted herself with a dignified and level-headed presence without any sign of inferiority or arrogance, so befriending Gu Qiaoqiao was sincere on his part.

And the Gu Family, although plain rural folks, seemed to hold a certain hermit-like detachment from the world.

Therefore, he found his conversation with Gu Tianfeng extremely enjoyable.

Lian Yuhong hurriedly stir-fried some country dishes and served them up on the table.

They had assumed someone from the city might look down on such a dining style, but to their surprise, he adapted quite naturally to the local customs.

This increased Gu Tianfeng’s already favorable impression of him.

Luo Fan came bearing some specialties from the provincial city, and Gu Qiaoqiao accepted them gracefully without any pretense.

After the meal, Luo Fan didn’t plan on leaving but asked Gu Qiaoqiao if there were any interesting places in the village.

Gu Qiaoqiao did not expect him to have such leisurely interests.

But then she realized that for someone like him, natural farm scenery was probably a novel sight.

Curiosity, therefore, was understandable.

So, Gu Qiaoqiao took Luo Fan down to the river behind the yard for a walk, they looked at the weeping willows, observed the wheat sprouts in the fields that looked like little grass, watched the busy farmers in the fields…

All of these were novel experiences for Luo Fan, and while on the walk, Gu Qiaoqiao casually mentioned Legends of Past and Present Magazine, and Luo Fan revealed that he knew the editor-in-chief there.

Gu Qiaoqiao thought it over but decided not to speak up.

Because she knew for sure that Gu Tianfeng would never agree to using such a connection for a submission.

Based on her understanding of him, Gu Qiaoqiao believed that Gu Tianfeng would want the work to receive the most unbiased appraisal.

But that process would be so long. Now that her father had finished copying the manuscript and had gone through it, he was planning to personally submit it at the post office in the county this weekend.

It would take at least a month after that to receive notice of the submission.

And whether it would be accepted was still up in the air.

But if it gets overlooked, they could then resort to Luo Fan’s help, especially since Gu Tianfeng had written it so well.
