After Transmigrating Into A Cannon Fodder Scum A… Eh? ABO - Chapter 38
The two words “substitute contract” made Qi Mian feel absurd and ridiculous, and at the same time, she felt sad for their current situation of meeting but not knowing each other. She knew that in Fu Nanxuan’s mind, Qi Mian was medically and legally dead, but while still being unable to forget her, she came to her as a substitute. Rationally, she was very clear about the ins and outs of the matter and could understand the other party’s thoughts. But emotionally, she couldn’t get over it.
Looking for a substitute, and then what? What needs to be done? The past intimacy was still her comfort at night. Occasionally during estrus, when she didn’t want to rely on inhibitors, she would always recall how Fu Nanxuan treated her on the bed. Every move made her addicted. She admitted that she missed Fu Nanxuan very much in her heart.
Qi Mian knew that this was very contradictory. The current predicament was actually the result of her choice, but it still made her hypocritically uncomfortable. She originally thought that she was a very generous person. Assuming that she died young, she would hope that her partner would find the next person to accompany her and live a happy life as before. Now, facing Fu Nanxuan looking for a substitute, she really felt a little uncomfortable.
Back then, it wasn’t that she didn’t like Fu Nanxuan, but the plot made her only able to restrain herself. Who knew that Fu Nanxuan also liked her, and liked her for so long. As a result, after people died for so many years, they looked for a substitute, and it would be fine if they found one, anyway, they had no intersection and it would be clean if they didn’t see each other, but they happened to find her. Making Qi Mian not know whether to say that she was dedicated or picky.
Qi Mian’s appearance of taking a deep breath, in Fu Nanxuan’s eyes, was like suppressing anger. She admitted that what she did today was very despicable, but she could not care about moral judgment. When she saw that photo of Qi Mian smiling, she could not control herself.
“What are the terms of the contract? What do I need to do? Accompany you to eat, drink, and go to bed?” Qi Mian questioned quickly. She could no longer tell which Qi Mian’s perspective she was speaking from now.
“Just accompany me for an hour three days a week, and there will be no intimate relationship.” Fu Nanxuan explained with cold eyebrows and eyes. “Just smile at me when you are happy.”
Qi Mian, who was originally in a surge of anger, was slightly stunned when she heard the conditions she proposed. This was completely different from what she thought. As long as she accompanied her to smile for an hour three days a week, she could exchange for investment? Is this a contract that is beneficial to both parties?
She could no longer hear what Fu Nanxuan said next, and only felt that her heart was densely and numbly aching.
“The contract has a time limit, but I cannot tell you how long it will last. It may be a month, it may be half a year, or it may be a year. When I have finished my business, the contract can be terminated.” Fu Nanxuan only roughly talked about the content. “If you are willing, we can sign the contract tomorrow. The conditions and responsibilities will be detailed in it.”
“If you have any other requirements to add, you can think about it tonight.” Fu Nanxuan said.
Qi Mian turned her face away, blocking her slightly wet eyes, and hummed lowly, accepting her statement.
Seeing her like this, she thought that Qi Mian felt insulted and didn’t want to look at her. Even though the other party still agreed to her request, Fu Nanxuan didn’t feel happy, only felt more sad. What kind of smile could she get in such a relationship?
After finishing dinner, the Qi family sent her out. H City at night had already turned cold, but Fu Nanxuan only wore a thin windbreaker, as if she had left in a hurry and didn’t have time to find suitable clothes.
Qi Mian remembered the phone call last night, Fu Nanxuan crying softly and wanting to find her, she grabbed the scarf in her hand tightly, and finally walked forward and stopped her before Fu Nanxuan was about to leave. “Ms. Fu.”
Fu Nanxuan stopped and turned her head to look at her.
“The weather is getting cold, this scarf, if you don’t mind, wear it first. It doesn’t matter if you throw it away after you get to the hotel.” Qi Mian handed her the scarf. This gesture was very abrupt between unfamiliar people, but Qi Mian didn’t seem to feel strange about it.
Fu Nanxuan lowered her eyes and looked at the dark green scarf in her hand for a long time, and hesitantly reached out to take it. “Thank you.” She thought that Qi Mian should hate her, but now she gave her a scarf because she saw that she was cold. It was just like Qi Mian, who always mocked her on the lips, but actually did everything to help Fu Nanxuan.
Although they had not done a matching test, when they differentiated that year, they were each other’s differentiation partners. The other party’s pheromones had long been engraved into their bodies. Just holding it in her hand, she could smell the sandalwood scent on the scarf, which was different from the silk scarf that she had used incense to dye, and it was from Qi Mian’s pheromones. She held the scarf and wanted to go back to the car and hug it. As a result, Qi Mian spoke again.
“Where should we go to sign the contract tomorrow?” Qi Mian asked her softly. “You haven’t told me the address yet.”
Her parents were some distance away from the two, and the evening wind was a bit strong, so their conversation was not easily heard.
“I’ll send you a message later.” Fu Nanxuan held the scarf, her voice becoming gentler. “See you tomorrow, Qi Mian.”
The dinner ended a bit late, and Qi Mian didn’t want to trouble the driver to come and go, so she simply stayed at home for the night to accompany her parents. After taking a shower and lying on the bed, she still felt very magical when she recalled everything that happened tonight.
Avoiding her old lover whom she hadn’t seen for many years, and then coming to her as her own substitute. At first, she was a little angry, but now that she calmed down, she only felt heartache when she thought of what Fu Nanxuan said.
What kind of fool would propose a contract that would allow someone to get a large investment for smiling for an hour?
She began to wonder if it was because she was dead, and Fu Nanxuan put a filter on her in her heart, leaving only beautiful memories, so she was so obsessed. But there were no beautiful memories between them, right?
The more Qi Mian thought about it, the more she doubted herself, and she didn’t understand why Fu Nanxuan would be so persistent for so long. The phone placed on the edge of the bed suddenly vibrated, and she quickly grabbed it. It was Fu Nanxuan calling her.
In the garden, they officially exchanged contact information. So there is no need to pretend not to know that the other party has their own number.
“Hello, Ms. Fu…” Before Qi Mian finished speaking, the other side eagerly interrupted her.
“Is it Mianmian?” Fu Nanxuan sat on the bed, her body surrounded by Qi Mian’s old clothes, and in her hand was the green scarf she gave her tonight.
Facing the Fu Nanxuan in the nesting state, she softened her voice: “Is it Nanxuan? Why haven’t you slept yet?”
“Mianmian, did you come to see me today? I have a very fragrant scarf. It’s your scent.” No matter how similar the incense is, it cannot replace the real pheromone scent. Fu Nanxuan almost buried her face in the scarf, only revealing her eyes and showing a happy expression.
“Yes, the scarf was given to you by me. You won’t be afraid anymore, will you?” When Qi Mian gave the scarf, she thought that if it was still in this state tonight, at least it could give her a little comfort.
“Yes, it has your scent, it’s so fragrant, Mianmian. But I really want to see you, when are you coming to see me?” Fu Nanxuan asked her aggrievedly. After getting the scented clothes, she became greedy and wanted to see the person herself, just like a spoiled child, endlessly demanding.
It’s just that the opposite is Qi Mian, who will be soft-hearted towards her, and coaxing her gently.
“We’ll be able to meet soon.” Qi Mian lay on the bed sideways. “You close your eyes and sleep now, and you’ll be able to see me when you wake up, okay?”
Fu Nanxuan immediately obediently lay on the bed, curled up in a pile of clothes, and closed her eyes.
“I’m asleep, Mianmian.”
“Then sleep, I’ll hang up.”
“No! Don’t hang up, Mianmian.” Fu Nanxuan immediately opened her eyes and begged her with a sob.
“Okay, I won’t hang up… I’ll sleep with Nanxuan, okay?” Qi Mian was moved by her frightened look and suppressed …her sobbing voice to coax her.
“Okay, good night Mianmian.” Fu Nanxuan closed her eyes again, lying in the scarf, holding the phone and listening to Qi Mian’s breathing rising and falling in her ears. Until she gradually fell asleep.
Qi Mian kept her promise and did not hang up the phone. When the battery was low, she even found a charging cable to plug in, listening to Fu Nanxuan’s steady breathing until it showed that the other party’s call had ended.
She put down the phone and looked at the void blankly, very bewildered. If Fu Nanxuan really couldn’t live without her, shouldn’t the plot be out of control? The female lead in the harem novel is devoted to one person, going in a completely different direction from the novel. But this time the system has not yet issued a warning. She wasn’t sure if the system was still dormant or if there was no need to contact her.
If her world and Fu Nanxuan’s story line are already in the same time and space, and Qi Mian herself is a free person without a script, does it mean that she can actually have contact with Fu Nanxuan without causing the other party to be at risk of death?
She pulled up the quilt and covered her head, covering her tired expression.
In the darkness, she thought, no matter what she wanted to do, the first condition was to find out the state of the system. The system was obviously paying attention to Fu Nanxuan’s every move, so to find the system, she had to stay by Fu Nanxuan’s side.
She found herself a second reason to agree to sign the contract.
