After Transmigrating as the Villain’s Cannon Fodder Fake Sister - Chapter 23
After a brief silence, the sound outside the door disappeared.
Gu Ruanruan: “……”
She… she just left?! Wuwuwuwu, how heartless!
Did Jiang Cen dislike her to this extent!!! Was she displaying her true villain nature now!
Could the little boat of their sisterly friendship still set sail? Had it already crashed and burned!!!
Gu Ruanruan’s heart was bitter, and her face was tragic.
There was no movement outside for a long time. Gu Ruanruan tentatively called “Sister” twice in a small voice, but there was still no response.
Without clothes, she could only wrap the bath towel around herself and fall into deep thought inside the steam-filled bathroom.
This… how was she supposed to get out?
Her T-shirt and shorts were completely soaked through, so there was absolutely no way she could wear them again. Right now, the only thing she could use was this large, fluffy bath towel…
Was she supposed to go out wrapped in this half-wet towel???
Or… she gazed deeply at the white gauze curtain hanging in the bathroom. If she really had to forcefully tear some fabric down, this was the only thing left…
Gu Ruanruan imagined herself wrapped in that gauze curtain…
She… that would be too deranged!!!
The picture was too beautiful!!! Impossible to imagine!!! She should just endure the half-wet bath towel!!!
Gu Ruanruan wrapped the towel properly, tied a firm knot at the side, and tucked the corner of the towel in.
She planned that the moment she opened the door, she would sprint back to her own bedroom at the speed of a hundred-meter dash and change clothes!
As long as she ran fast enough, nothing could stop her!!!
Her sisterly bond with the great villain was no longer the focus! The urgent task at hand was to change into a dry set of pajamas!!!
Gu Ruanruan took a deep breath and made full mental preparations. Even her sprinting posture was ready!
She pressed down on the door handle.
“Click.”
With a soft sound, the bathroom door lock was opened from the outside.
“Wear…” Jiang Cen had only managed to spit out one word when she was faced with an unprecedented disaster scene.
At the same time, Gu Ruanruan was also sneaking around like a little dog, trying to make a sleazy escape.
Like a train engine, she closed her eyes and charged out fiercely.
With a “bang,” Gu Ruanruan felt her big head hit something hard yet soft.
Gu Ruanruan had no time to slow down. Clearly, the person outside also had not expected such an accident. Because the impact of the collision was too great, neither of them could stand steadily, and Gu Ruanruan was directly knocked backward.
Jiang Cen was also hit hard enough that it took her a few seconds to regain her balance. She hurriedly reached out to catch her.
But it was already too late. In that instant, Gu Ruanruan had already fallen to the ground with lightning speed, and Jiang Cen’s outstretched fingertips only barely brushed the corner of her bath towel.
“Aaaaaahhhh, I’m doomed! Heaven wants me dead!!!” Gu Ruanruan originally wanted to once again perform her unique skill of flapping like a bee, but because her momentum was too fierce, this exclusive “martial art secret technique” lost its effect. She only had time to shout a few lines.
With a “pa-da,” Gu Ruanruan still ended up falling hard on her butt.
She felt as if her tailbone had been shaken numb…
Gu Ruanruan held onto the bath towel with one hand and supported her backside with the other. She cried out “aow, aow” twice, tears flooding her eyes.
It really hurt, hurt, hurt so much, aaaaaah!!!
It was simply a soul-shaking pain unbearable to life itself!!!
She lifted her watery eyes and called out aggrievedly, “Sister…”
Didn’t you leave!!!
Jiang Cen was holding a set of deep blue clothes, folded neatly and squarely like a flat block of tofu.
She rubbed her forehead with a headache, truly unable to understand what rich imagination Gu Ruanruan had conjured in her brain to create such a scene.
After a while, Jiang Cen sighed helplessly.
She did not know how many times she had sighed helplessly, but recently, the number of times she sighed was more than all the sighs from the past twenty-six years combined.
She had only gone out to get Gu Ruanruan a piece of clothing, yet when she came back, it had turned into this.
Jiang Cen placed the clothes on the rack, stretched one hand toward Gu Ruanruan, and asked helplessly, “Can you get up?”
“Mm~” Gu Ruanruan hummed from her throat and shook her head with tears hanging in her eyes.
Gu Ruanruan’s sensation had not recovered yet. She felt as if her whole body would fall apart if she moved.
Jiang Cen naturally could not just leave her alone. She bent down, gripped Gu Ruanruan under the armpits with both hands, exerted a little force, and lifted her up like picking up a little chick.
Gu Ruanruan: “……”
Because the distance between them was extremely close, their breaths mingled. Jiang Cen had bent down to accommodate Gu Ruanruan’s height, so when Gu Ruanruan lowered her head, she accidentally saw a tiny bit of… White Rabbit milk candy inside Jiang Cen’s crossed bathrobe collar…
She had already bathed, and her body carried the pleasant fragrance of shower gel.
Gu Ruanruan quickly turned her head away!
Do not look at what is improper, do not look at what is improper, do not look at what is improper!
She was a proper person!!! She had not even read little X-rated novels before!
Jiang Cen gathered Gu Ruanruan in front of herself, letting most of the girl’s body lean against her, and placed one of Gu Ruanruan’s hands on her own shoulder.
Then, with one hand passing around the girl’s back, she held Gu Ruanruan’s waist.
Because of Gu Ruanruan’s head-turning movement just now, the back of her head bumped against Jiang Cen’s collarbone.
“Gu Ruanruan, don’t move around.” Jiang Cen coughed lightly. She was injured, so how was she still this restless?
Gu Ruanruan’s frame was very small. With Jiang Cen casually holding her like this, the little girl’s whole body was half-nestled into her arms.
Perhaps because she had just bathed, Jiang Cen’s body temperature was scorching, completely different from her ice-cold palm that day.
Nestled in that warm embrace and carried out of the bathroom by Jiang Cen, Gu Ruanruan actually felt a bit at ease.
At this kind of time, her conscience began to make trouble.
Gu Ruanruan sincerely apologized, “Sister, I’m sorry. Tonight, I made you suffer hardships you shouldn’t have had to endure…”
An experience like falling into a bathtub was probably something Jiang Cen would never have had in her life…
Jiang Cen did not deny it and let out a cold laugh. “At least you know.”
Gu Ruanruan: “……” Too disrespectful!
“Tomorrow, I’ll have someone replace your bathroom with a sensor system you can understand how to operate.”
The words “you can understand how to operate” carried the meaning of accommodating Gu Ruanruan’s intelligence.
“Sister is really considerate and kind! In all the world, there is no one who cherishes her younger sister more than Sister!” Gu Ruanruan immediately took the chance to flatter her while the iron was hot.
Jiang Cen: “……” She was wondering if there was anything that could block Gu Ruanruan’s mouth.
After finally bringing Gu Ruanruan out of the bathroom, Jiang Cen placed her on the wide, soft bed in the bedroom.
“Does it still hurt?” After all, the little girl had fallen quite hard just now. If there was any problem, Doctor Su would have to be notified.
Gu Ruanruan used both hands to make a heart for Jiang Cen. “With Sister’s concern, it doesn’t hurt that much anymore! It’s like a rocket—whoosh—and more than half of it got better!”
Jiang Cen glanced at Gu Ruanruan’s broken heart gesture, and the corner of her mouth twitched.
She got up and left.
A few seconds later, she returned with the things she had casually placed in the bathroom earlier when helping Gu Ruanruan up.
“Change into this.” Jiang Cen handed the clothes in her hand to Gu Ruanruan.
Oh, so she had gone to get a bathrobe for her.
The reason Jiang Cen had not answered outside the bathroom just now was also because she had gone to get her a bathrobe. It was not because she disliked her, nor because she found her troublesome!
Gu Ruanruan was moved.
She shook open the clothes in her hands. It was a deep blue silk bathrobe, and one look was enough to tell that it was Jiang Cen’s.
“Should… should I change here?” Gu Ruanruan asked.
