After Transmigrating as the Villain’s Cannon Fodder Fake Sister - Chapter 11

Tonight’s dinner only had Gu Ruanruan and Jiang Cen.

At the dining table, Gu Ruanruan absentmindedly picked at the edge of her bowl, her moist almond eyes turning as she glanced at Jiang Cen from time to time.

Her gaze was far too noticeable to ignore. Jiang Cen’s hand paused as she picked up food. “Gu Ruanruan, do you need something?”

“Sister, Sister!” Gu Ruanruan called her in a sweet, clingy voice.

Jiang Cen’s hand trembled almost imperceptibly. “Do you need me to send you to the hospital to check your brain?”

Gu Ruanruan had long since developed resistance to this. She only picked out the words she wanted to hear. Holding her chin in both hands, her eyes sparkling, she smiled sweetly. “Sister, I discovered that you’re really good! You’re such a good person!”

Jiang Cen found it strange. After all these years, no one had ever called her a good person. Her enemies, on the other hand, could probably line up from Ningcheng to Rongcheng. Where had Gu Ruanruan gotten such an absurd conclusion?

She let out a soft heh. “Is that so? How did you figure that out?”

Gu Ruanruan’s eyes shone like stars. “I got five points on my math test, but you didn’t kick me out. You also haven’t given up on me~ You let me be a free little bird~ Sister is so good~”

And earlier, when the original owner had taken over her body and done that thing, the… forced-herself-on-her thing, Jiang Cen had not come after her either, nor had she mentioned the original owner’s terrible deeds to Grandpa Jiang.

Of course, she did not dare say that out loud, lest Jiang Cen remember some unpleasant memory again.

The fact that she was still alive and intact was all because the villain had shown mercy!

Every time Jiang Cen spoke to her, her words seemed harsh, but in reality, Jiang Cen just had a poisonous tongue. Deep down, she was still very gentle!

Jiang Cen was struck by her drawn-out ending tone and immediately felt that the entire table of food had lost its taste. “I regret it now.”

Gu Ruanruan clenched her fist and thumped her chest. “Sister’s kindness is as heavy as a mountain. This younger sister will repay you in the next life by tying grass and holding a ring!”

“Forget the next life. You can repay me now by packing your luggage.”

Gu Ruanruan dragged out her tone. “How can that be~ I have to repay Sister in this life too~”

“Do you want to repay me, or send me off?”

Very soon, Jiang Cen learned the true answer to that question.

Gu Ruanruan blinked and asked, “Sister, did you receive the gift I gave you?”

Jiang Cen completely lost the ability to continue eating this meal. “You gave that?”

That made sense. Such ugly handwriting could only have come from Gu Ruanruan’s hands.

“Yes, yes.” Gu Ruanruan hurriedly shared her painstaking masterpiece. “In order to repay Sister for being good to me, I carefully chose a unique gift for you!”

“I wrote all the words on it myself! I guarantee that no one else in this world will have the same cup as you! How is it? Isn’t my gift super impressive?”

Jiang Cen: “……Perhaps other people don’t really want that kind of gift.”

Gu Ruanruan nodded. “Of course. I gave it to Sister. How could other people compare to Sister!”

Jiang Cen scoffed. “Then I really should thank you for not directly sending me away.”

After dinner, Gu Ruanruan was lying in her room like a salted fish corpse when Jiang Cen knocked on her door.

She was wearing dark blue home clothes, the buttons fastened tightly all the way to the top. The dignified, solemn color made Jiang Cen’s cold-white skin glow with a smooth radiance.

“Gu Ruanruan, come to the study within ten minutes. Tutoring.”

Her gaze swept over Gu Ruanruan’s fair, straight legs exposed to the air, and she said disapprovingly, “Tidy yourself up.”

Gu Ruanruan glanced down at herself. It was just an ordinary T-shirt and shorts. The indoor temperature was high, not to mention it was summer. If she did not wear a cool two-piece outfit, what was she supposed to wear? How was she not tidy?!

Jiang Cen ignored her confusion and turned to leave.

Gu Ruanruan watched Jiang Cen’s back disappear before finally reacting.

Ah! How many people were as strict and abnormal as Jiang Cen? She even dressed so tightly at home!!!

The study.

Gu Ruanruan gently pushed open the door.

Her upper body was still in a loose T-shirt, but the shorts underneath had been changed into cropped wide-leg pants, revealing a small stretch of delicate, graceful ankle. Her tender, fair toes were squeezed inside soft slippers.

Jiang Cen barely expressed satisfaction. “The pants are too short. Dress properly next time.”

Gu Ruanruan: “……”

Next time, she would dress like a Middle Eastern woman!!!

Across from the office desk in the study, a small table had been set up. It was piled with books, all high school textbooks. Jiang Cen pointed at it, and Gu Ruanruan understood, sitting down beside the small table.

Today’s tutoring subject was mathematics. After thinking about it, Jiang Cen decided to start from the content of first-year high school.

Gu Ruanruan’s foundation was too weak… No, it should be said that she had no foundation.

Opening the math textbook, Jiang Cen decided to begin with the simplest content.

She sat across from Gu Ruanruan and opened the textbook.

Old Master Jiang had said Jiang Cen should tutor her, but Gu Ruanruan had never expected that Jiang Cen would actually fulfill the agreement and explain the problems to her!!!

Too… too serious!

At this moment, in Gu Ruanruan’s heart, Jiang Cen’s image instantly became vivid and alive.

Although the book described Jiang Cen as ruthless, unscrupulous, and insane, with many flaws, she also had shining points that were hard to ignore.

This was the first time Gu Ruanruan had been so close to Jiang Cen in a calm and peaceful way.

There was a faint scent of wood leaves on her body, fresh and pleasant. Smelling it a little more gave one a feeling of calm and focus, making the whole person quiet down.

It formed a sharp contrast with the sharp, hostile aura that appeared on Jiang Cen from time to time.

Her voice was clear and cool, like jade striking jade, very pleasant to hear. From time to time, she would use a pen to mark important points and write some notes beside them.

Perhaps the great villain was not that bad?

After finishing the explanation, Jiang Cen knocked on the table. “Gu Ruanruan, did you understand?”

Gu Ruanruan quickly nodded. She already knew this content, but Jiang Cen’s train of thought was very good, different from how the school teachers taught it. She had her own clever method. As expected of a competition genius.

Jiang Cen pushed a workbook to Gu Ruanruan. “Good. Do these ten pages, and these three test papers too. I’ll check them later.”

After assigning the work, she returned to her own desk, opened her laptop, and began working.

All right. As expected, she had simply changed locations to continue working overtime.

Gu Ruanruan deeply understood why, in the original book, Shen Wenlan had ultimately failed to take down the Jiang family.

From what she could see, Jiang Cen, this villain, had firm goals, never forgot her original intention, and never forgot to focus on her career.

Even when it came to pursuing the female lead bottom, she treated it like a difficult project to conquer…

Ah, right. In the original book, it seemed the female lead bottom and Jiang Cen had some kind of connection?

She could not remember. That book had been far too long, and recently, the plot had become more and more blurry in her mind. Gu Ruanruan shook her head and focused on conquering the test paper.

Half an hour later, Gu Ruanruan had pretty much finished.

In order not to improve too quickly, she deliberately got a few questions wrong.

Jiang Cen took off the gold-rimmed glasses resting on her nose bridge and rubbed her forehead. She clearly looked very tired.

She had probably been sleeping after midnight because of work during this period.

She got up, wanting to pour herself a cup of coffee to stay awake.

Gu Ruanruan had a sudden flash of inspiration and walked to Jiang Cen’s side. “Sister, drinking too much coffee hurts your body. Your stomach problems will be even harder to recover from. Why don’t I give you a massage instead?”

Jiang Cen looked at her indifferently. “No need.”

As she spoke, she was about to get up and make coffee.

Gu Ruanruan pressed Jiang Cen back into the chair, her mouth babbling nonstop. “Little Master Gu’s shop is opening for the first time today. It’s free for Sister!”

Her fingers pressed accurately on the acupoints on Jiang Cen’s head. The girl’s strength was astonishing, but the force of her kneading was just right, light and gentle. Before long, Jiang Cen felt her mind clear, and her heavy, muddled brain no longer seemed so heavy.

Gu Ruanruan continued down to massage Jiang Cen’s shoulders. Her tense shoulders immediately opened up, no longer drawn together. It was as if she had set down many things and relaxed. Jiang Cen felt that she had not been this comfortable in a very long time.

When Gu Ruanruan’s hands moved back to the top of her head again, within a few minutes, Jiang Cen fell asleep.

Jiang Cen needed a truly relaxed rest. After completing her mission, Gu Ruanruan returned to the desk, bit the end of her pen, and began feeling gloomy.

She had finished the math test papers long ago.

Her biggest problem now was what exactly she and Shen Wenlan should perform for Shengshuilan’s annual welcome—chaos—assembly.

The two of them had discussed it for three days, but there was still no result.

Forget an embryonic form. They had not even laid an egg.

Time was getting shorter and shorter. If they did not quickly settle it, that would not do.

She did not know any of those elegant classical pieces Shen Wenlan knew. Maybe it would be better to start with pop songs!

She could not remember some of the lyrics clearly, so she had to hum them out first before deciding.

Gu Ruanruan casually pulled over a clean sheet of draft paper, humming in her heart while writing the lyrics.

The more she hummed, the more into it she became, and the more focused she grew.

At some unknown point, a huge shadow enveloped Gu Ruanruan.

A voice that made her scalp go numb came from above, and Gu Ruanruan immediately trembled all over!

“No matter how I fly, I can’t fly out of this colorful world. So it turns out I am a drunken butterfly?”

“Spring leaves flowers before the mirror, autumn brings the moon in the water. So it turns out I am that drunken butterfly?”

She slowly raised her head in a daze. Sure enough, Jiang Cen’s enlarged cold face appeared above her head.

Stop reading, stop reading!!! Please!!! I’m begging you!!!

However, Jiang Cen could not hear her thoughts.

Gu Ruanruan had never known that lyrics could be this embarrassing when read out loud!!!

They… they usually sounded quite nice when sung!

But Jiang Cen did not hear her thoughts. Her gaze swept downward indifferently, and her voice dropped several more degrees.

With a cold face, she read word by word in an emotionless mechanical voice:

“When I close my eyes, I see heaven. That is the place hiding your smile.”

“I dodge the guns of countless hunters, and chase away the sorrow crawling out of graves.”

Jiang Cen let out a soft scoff from her nose.

“For you, I turned into a werewolf’s form? For you, I was infected with madness??”

“For you, I put on a thick disguise. For you, I changed my heart???”

By the time she read to the end, her voice already contained ten catties of ice shards.

“Can we still meet again? I have bitterly begged before Buddha for thousands of years???”

Gu Ruanruan’s face turned bright red. Her toes dug into the floor as she begged quietly, “Sister, don’t… don’t read anymore!!!”

Leave the child some dignity!!!

These two songs would not be used as options for the joint performance!!! They would not!!!

Jiang Cen threw that thin, shabby piece of paper onto Gu Ruanruan’s desk.

“Heh. I only just found out that our family was hiding a drunken contemporary literary master.”
