After Transmigrating Into A Book As The Protagonist’s Cannon-Fodder Lackey - Chapter 4

Zhu Qiyue had just turned her head when she thought of something and turned back again, raising her voice. “Lu God, Old Ban asked me to pass on a message. Remember to go to the office during second period.”

Su Linye immediately pricked up her ears and lifted her head to look over.

From far away, she saw Lu Jiang lower her head and raise one hand, making a gesture.

“Okay, okay.” Having completed her task, Zhu Qiyue sat down in satisfaction.

Su Linye had only seen that beautiful hand, not her face. Feeling a little regretful, she lowered her head again.

The morning clamor did not last very long. Class began.

Su Linye spun her pen with one hand while listening to the lesson. Then, as she listened and listened, the teacher on the podium only seemed to be opening her mouth without making any sound.

Until the teacher uttered that deafeningly famous line, “Let’s ask a student to answer this.”

Su Linye’s whole body jolted, and she hurriedly prepared to secretly ask her desk mate.

Only to see her desk mate lowering her head, a mysterious smile on her face.

Su Linye: ?

Had she discovered the “house of gold” in books, or the “beauty like jade”?

To avoid being called on, she quietly lowered her head and pretended to be deep in thought, trying to muddle her way through.

Just then, the smile on Gu Feng’s face grew wider and wider, wider and wider, until finally her shoulders began to tremble lightly.

The entire desk was shaking. Su Linye’s desk was dragged along with it, trembling and trembling, shaking and shaking.

Su Linye, who had been forcibly switched to vibration mode: ??

The movement on this side was a little obvious. In the quiet classroom, it was strangely conspicuous, and the teacher’s attention was naturally drawn over.

Gu Feng’s books were piled very high, like a defensive tower, so the teacher could only see Su Linye’s cowlick bobbing up and down, as if saying, “Come over here if you dare.” Extremely arrogant.

“Cowlick” suddenly had a bad feeling.

The next second.

“Su Linye, you tell us.”

Su Linye: …

She slowly stood up. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that her desk mate had somehow already put away her phone and was sitting upright, sneakily asking the people in front and behind which question the teacher had asked and what the answer was, trying to give her some hints.

Such touching desk-mate affection.

Unfortunately, her movements were restricted, and the classmates’ hearing was also restricted. After the teacher waited for a while, no answer came from below. In anger, she sent Su Linye to stand at the back.

Then she called on her prized student.

Lu Jiang stood up, looked at the blackboard, met the teacher’s expectant gaze, and fell silent for a moment. “Teacher, which question?”

Unsurprisingly, Su Linye gained a companion.

The two of them stood at the back, one on the left and one on the right, like guardian beasts warding off evil.

After this display of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, the students in the class more or less perked up and no longer produced such ridiculous situations.

But clearly, Su Linye was not one of them. On the surface, she appeared wholly focused and would solemnly nod or shake her head along with the teacher’s questions. In reality, her thoughts had long since run off to who knew where.

From the corner of her eye, she watched Lu Jiang, occasionally moving three steps left and two steps right with her feet, shifting her position without anyone noticing.

When she successfully got within only one step, she received Lu Jiang’s gaze.

She lifted her book and, using it as cover, grinned. Two little canine teeth revealed their sharp tips.

A very friendly smile.

Lu Jiang’s brows furrowed slightly.

She moved a little to the left.

Su Linye: …

Her heart cracked in half with a snap.

Didn’t the original book say the protagonist-bottom was an omega who seemed cold on the surface but was kind and warmhearted inside?

Didn’t the saying go that one did not slap a smiling face?

The original book and common sayings had misled her!

Su Linye did not plan to give up. She secretly glanced at the teacher on the podium, and while the other person turned around, she once again took a big step to the left.

It was just that she had misjudged the distance between them. Add to that her excessive nervousness, with all her attention fixed ahead, and with that one large stride, half of her foot stepped onto something unknown, as if she had suddenly put on a high heel.

Su Linye noticed the strange feeling beneath her foot. Holding up her book, she twisted her foot in confusion, trying to figure out what it was without looking.

“Move your foot.”

A voice so cold it reached the extreme suddenly sounded beside her ear.

Su Linye turned her head and saw Lu Jiang’s face right beside her, close enough to touch. It was explosively beautiful. At this moment, however, Lu Jiang’s eyelids were lowered halfway as she looked down at her, displeasure plainly gathered in her pitch-black eyes.

Su Linye immediately withdrew her foot. Looking at the big black shoe print on the clean white upper, she was at a loss for half a second. Then she slowly raised her head to look over and said sincerely, “Would you believe me if I said I didn’t do it on purpose?”

“Stay away from me.” Lu Jiang did not even let her gaze fall in Su Linye’s direction.

Su Linye tried to think of a solution. “How about I clean your shoes for you? I’ll take them home and absolutely scrub them until they’re spotless, just like new.”

“And then?” There was no emotion in Lu Jiang’s voice. “I hop back on one foot?”

Su Linye imagined it and felt the illusion shatter a little. “That does seem not very workable.”

“You can wear my shoes first.”

Lu Jiang’s gaze moved down and landed on Su Linye’s black shoes, then looked at her again.

“…”

Although she did not say a single word, the mockery was practically overflowing.

Su Linye also realized something was inappropriate and did not know what to say. She awkwardly touched the tip of her nose. “Then how about you step on me back?”

She stretched one foot out in front of Lu Jiang.

Following the teacher’s instruction, Lu Jiang turned a page in her book and said lightly, “Black layered over black. People who don’t know would think I was polishing and recoloring your shoes for you.”

Su Linye: …

She was about to say something else when the teacher above could no longer endure it and threw a piece of chalk over.

“Enough, Su Linye! In this entire classroom, only the two of you are talking. One or two lines weren’t enough? What, are you performing a duet skit at the back? Should I give you the podium so you can come up here and perform? And look how far you’ve moved! Are you trying to squeeze Lu Jiang into the trash can?!”

The entire class cast over gazes ready to watch the show, with a few faint laughs mixed in.

Lu Jiang: …………

Su Linye apologized and obediently nestled back to her own spot.

She stayed quiet for less than a minute before beginning to sneak toward Lu Jiang again. The teacher caught her with sharp eyes. Since the lesson had just finished and it was time to practice questions, she was gloriously exiled outside the classroom to guard the door.

When the bell rang, Su Linye felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

That class had truly been so fulfilling.

One period had practically been stronger than eight periods for other people.

She stretched and had no intention of standing under the hot early-autumn sun to tan herself. She lifted her foot to go into the classroom, only to see Lu Jiang walking out expressionlessly. Very discerningly, she moved aside to make way.

At the same time, she glanced at the bright, obvious mark on the other girl’s shoe.

One look at those shoes and she could tell they were expensive, their whiteness like the first snow of winter drifting down in soft flurries. It was just that now, a sudden patch of dust clung to them, like a ruined stretch of snow.

The moment they passed each other was very brief. Su Linye had already finished sighing over it in her heart, yet that shoe still had not left.

She looked up in confusion and met a pair of eyes like a cold pond.

“Is it nice to look at?”

Su Linye subconsciously nodded. “It is.”

The best-looking person she had ever seen.

Lu Jiang did not speak. She stared at her quietly, her tone mild. “I meant the shoe print.”

“Oh, oh.” Su Linye said, “The shoe print isn’t very nice.”

Lu Jiang said, “I thought you were very satisfied with this work of art. You stared at it for so long.”

Su Linye: …

“I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Lu Jiang’s gaze swept over her, but she did not say whether she believed her or not.

“Hey, you two, there’s going to be a traffic jam back here.”

Qin Yu leaned against the doorway with her arms crossed, looking as if she were watching a show.

Su Linye gave an “oh” and moved aside. Only after moving did she realize that the two of them were still some distance from the doorway and were not blocking anything at all.

“…You’re the one blocking the way, aren’t you?”

“Who said that? There’s no one behind me,” Qin Yu said with a shrug. “Clearly, you two are blocking me.”

Lu Jiang glanced sideways at her, her tone calm. “This much space still isn’t enough for you to walk through? Are you a New Year pig?”

Qin Yu: …………

She straightened up, pretentiously patted nonexistent dust off her body, then looked up again and let out a strange “huh.” “Old Jiang, why are you still here? Didn’t the teacher tell you to go to the office?”

Su Linye: ???

What kind of new-style covering your ears while stealing a bell was this?

Lu Jiang was already too lazy to waste words. She gave her a look, then lifted her foot and left.

Qin Yu stepped forward and hooked an arm around her shoulders. “What’s that expression? Are you looking down on my acting?”

“Wasn’t it obvious?”

After walking two steps, Lu Jiang said coldly, “Take your hand off.”

Qin Yu paused, then withdrew it, her expression very helpless. “Old Jiang, you…”

She seemed to want to say something, but after two seconds of silence, she sighed. “You really are… Fine, fine, I won’t touch you.”

Their voices gradually grew distant.

Su Linye sighed over the bickering-rivals atmosphere between the two, then finally hugged her book and went back into the classroom.

Gu Feng was putting eye drops in.

“Are your eyes uncomfortable?” Su Linye put her book on the desk and casually asked.

Gu Feng was frantically blinking at the dropper. Caught off guard by that sound, a huge drop of liquid fell into her eye. She let out a howl and covered her eye.

“What’s wrong, what’s wrong?” Su Linye jumped in fright, picked up the eye drops, and carefully examined them, her expression nervous. “Did you accidentally use glue?”

Gu Feng: …………

She looked over faintly.

The moment the words left Su Linye’s mouth, she also felt that they were inappropriate. She cleared her throat. “Need me to help you with the other eye?”

Gu Feng sighed. “I was creating atmosphere. I wanted to apologize to you.” She looked as if she had aged negative one year all at once.

Su Linye understood instantly and looked thoughtful. “So you were planning to apologize with tears in your eyes? Trying to stir my pity?”

Gu Feng gave her a thumbs-up.

Su Linye waved her hand generously. It was not like she had never been punished by standing before. “That’s not a big deal. I’m more curious what you were looking at in class. You were that absorbed.”

Gu Feng glanced left and right, then, like a thief, took out her phone and opened a page for her.

Su Linye leaned over curiously.

It was a gorgeous, lavish image.

A tall silver-haired girl leaned slightly forward, one hand reaching from behind to pinch another black-haired girl’s chin, forcing her to reveal the back of her neck marked with teeth marks. Between the silver-haired girl’s pale lips, white canine teeth were faintly visible, stained with a little blood, her expression pleased.

The girl “being forced” weakly clutched that hand with both hands. Mist shimmered in her eyes, and her expression was half pain, half pleasure.

The whole image was highly impactful and suggestive.

Su Linye, who had roamed freely through the worlds of novels and comics, instantly understood what this was.

In disbelief, she said, “You were secretly reading a dirty comic in class?!”

Her voice was a little loud.

Gu Feng clapped a hand over her mouth and explained guiltily, “I’m observing and learning. And besides, it’s only a temporary mark. How can you call it a dirty comic?”

Su Linye pulled her hand away. “May I ask, are you an omega?”

Gu Feng said, “I’m a beta.”

Su Linye: “…………”

Gu Feng’s clean, top-student-like face flushed slightly. “Who says betas can’t learn? What if one day, just like in novels, I suddenly differentiate from a beta into an omega? If I don’t understand any physiology knowledge when the time comes, I might get tricked by an alpha and taken advantage of without even knowing.”

As she spoke, she even gave Su Linye some pointers. “Although we’re betas, better safe than sorry.”

Su Linye said, “…You do know that’s fiction, right?”

The warning bell rang, and the students outside came into the classroom one after another.

She turned around and opened her textbook according to the timetable.

Gu Feng did not give up. “What if? Maybe one day, a novel plot will happen in real life. Not just sudden differentiation, maybe even transmigration into a book. I advise you to hurry and search for novel characters with the same name as you…”

Before she could finish, she saw her desk mate turn toward her with a solemn face, as dignified and grave as if facing an age-old problem.

“Please send me that dirty—pah, educational comic you were reading. Thank you.”
