Transmigrated as the Cannon Fodder Marked by the Villain (GL) - Chapter 11

As soon as the words fell, there was a silence that lasted for half a minute.

Ruan Jiyan awkwardly pulled at the corners of her lips, forcing a small smile: “It’s okay, Sister. The coffee is very delicious.”

Then Fu Qingyun watched as Ruan Jiyan subtly put down the cup of coffee and didn’t touch it again until they had finished breakfast.

Although Fu Qingyun felt uneasy, she didn’t say anything, just quietly finished her breakfast.

It seemed Ruan Jiyan genuinely disliked her. This could be considered an indirect kiss, right? But they had done something much more intimate, except kissing.

The more Fu Qingyun thought about it, the more annoyed she became. It was because she had an unspeakable relationship with her that Ruan Jiyan detested her so much, to the point of forming a conditioned reflex.

However, she had already started doing her best to compensate for the trauma she had caused Ruan Jiyan, hoping the other party would give her a chance.

After breakfast, Fu Qingyun glanced at Ruan Jiyan, who was wiping her mouth. She originally wanted to find a topic and smoothly transition into the subject of her returning to school, but she met the Omega’s gaze when she looked up.

“Miss Ruan, I want to discuss something with you.”

Fu Qingyun still couldn’t naturally ease into the topic, so she decided to seek Ruan Jiyan’s opinion first.

“Please tell me, Sister.”

Sister…

Although Fu Qingyun felt a little awkward hearing it, she was quite receptive to it and didn’t overthink it.

“It’s about this: I heard you dropped out of the Imperial Capital University.”

“Mm.”

The more casually Ruan Jiyan answered, the more Fu Qingyun felt an ominous sense of calm before a storm.

“I can fund you to go back to school.”

Ruan Jiyan’s body trembled slightly. She calmly replied:

“Thank you, Sister.”

Ruan Jiyan didn’t refuse her. Fu Qingyun felt she was more than halfway to success, so she smiled, “You’re welcome. It’s the least I can do.”

There was another stretch of silence. Fu Qingyun felt that her age, nearly thirty, still had a generation gap with a twenty-year-old girl.

Ruan Jiyan clearly didn’t want to engage in much conversation with her. Fu Qingyun was a talkative person, but speaking with Ruan Jiyan was like talking to air; it didn’t stir up any ripples.

It’s a good thing the person communicating with her is me. If it were anyone else, they would have probably slapped her already.

“I will handle the readmission procedures for you during the break. You can go straight to school when the winter break ends.”

“But…”

Fu Qingyun heard Ruan Jiyan pause and asked curiously, “What is it?”

“But I don’t have money, and my mother is still hospitalized and needs a lot of money…”

“I can’t afford it…”

Ruan Jiyan finished speaking and lowered her head in silence. Fu Qingyun stared at her constantly shaking shoulders, quickly stood up, walked to Ruan Jiyan’s side, and gently placed a hand on her shoulder.

“Don’t worry about it. Leave Auntie’s matters to me. You just need to focus on your studies, and I will take care of everything.”

Listening to Fu Qingyun’s words, which were surprisingly mature for her assumed age, Ruan Jiyan was momentarily stunned. Then she lowered her head to stare at the empty plate in front of her again.

“But I’m worried…”

Worried?

Fu Qingyun was puzzled. Ruan Jiyan was always unexpected when talking to her. She often didn’t answer questions, and sometimes Fu Qingyun didn’t dare to ask too much, afraid of annoying her.

“I want to take care of my mother myself. I don’t feel comfortable leaving her alone.”

Listening to the increasingly bold demands, Fu Qingyun agreed to them one by one.

“Then we’ll change hospitals. Let’s transfer Auntie to the Imperial Capital University Affiliated Hospital. That way, it’ll be convenient.”

Ruan Jiyan hadn’t expected the other party to agree to such a request, but then she thought again: Fu Qingyun was a wealthy person, so it was normal for her to be able to do things ordinary people couldn’t.

“Thank you, Sister.”

She didn’t make any more excessive demands, afraid that Fu Qingyun would lose her temper. If that happened, she would get nothing and might even be kicked out.

After this test, Ruan Jiyan felt that Fu Qingyun was both foolish and stupid. No matter what she said or did, the other party believed it and would even use money to settle things for her.

This is good. She would put Fu Qingyun aside for now. When she was no longer useful, Ruan Jiyan would make other plans.

What Fu Qingyun didn’t know was that she had already been branded with the title of “the landlord’s silly daughter” in Ruan Jiyan’s mind.

“Do you want to go home today? I can drive you.”

Ruan Jiyan was probably staying with her reluctantly. Fu Qingyun still felt they should maintain a safe and appropriate distance.

“I don’t have a home.”

Looking at the soft Omega, Fu Qingyun’s maternal instincts flared up again. She felt an urge to pull Ruan Jiyan into her arms and comfort her.

“Then why don’t you stay here with me, Sister?”

Fu Qingyun suppressed the urge to give Ruan Jiyan a warm hug. She looked around her villa and smiled, “I don’t live here often, and few people know about this place. It’s very quiet if you want to study.”

Hearing Fu Qingyun’s words, Ruan Jiyan also glanced around the villa. In her memory of her past life, Fu Qingyun never brought her here, but now everything had changed.

Since Fu Qingyun wanted to compensate her, why should she hesitate? Instead of starving and freezing in that cold, broken rented room, it was better to say nice things to Fu Qingyun’s ear. That way, her life would be secure.

“Won’t that be too much trouble for you, Sister?”

Ruan Jiyan looked up to meet Fu Qingyun’s gaze. Her alluring peach blossom eyes curved, and she softly said, “I can actually endure the cold very well. Although the rented room isn’t warm, it’s not too cold if I sleep in my clothes.”

Not warm? Sleeping in her clothes?

Fu Qingyun’s attention was fixed solely on this. She said indignantly, “How can that be! Don’t go back to the rented place. This villa is empty anyway. Your moving in gives it its greatest value.”

“Thank you, Sister.”

Ruan Jiyan lowered her head. In the place where Fu Qingyun couldn’t see, the corners of her lips slightly curved.

The winter daytime was short. Ruan Jiyan suggested going to the hospital to see her mother. Fu Qingyun gladly agreed and decided to personally drive her there and back.

Along the way, Fu Qingyun tried to find topics to chat about with Ruan Jiyan, but the other party only replied with a gentle “mm” or a simple “thank you.”

Fu Qingyun felt like she had a robot sitting in the passenger seat—boring and dull. So, Fu Qingyun started to accelerate. She wanted to end this silent time sooner.

“Which year are you in at university? What is your major?”

Ruan Jiyan hadn’t answered many of Fu Qingyun’s questions on the trip. First, she wasn’t interested, and second, Ruan Jiyan wanted to test if Fu Qingyun really had such a good temper that she wouldn’t get angry at her silence.

“Third year, Finance.”

“Not bad.”

Fu Qingyun nodded with relief like an old mother. She smiled and said, “I’m also quite interested in finance, but unfortunately, back then…”

Fu Qingyun sealed her lips tight, having nearly given herself away.

“Back then, what?”

Ruan Jiyan clearly wasn’t going to let her off.

“I didn’t study hard, so I couldn’t get into university.”

The original owner only got into Imperial Capital University through connections and money. Fu Qingyun remembered that the original owner’s major was obscure and easy, mostly filled with idle young ladies and rich young masters.

Ruan Jiyan sneered internally. Back then, Fu Qingyun stopped at nothing to get into Imperial Capital University just to chase her.

The air conditioner was running in the car. Ruan Jiyan took off her coat, wearing only a high-necked sweater. She suddenly felt hot, so when Fu Qingyun wasn’t looking, she pulled the high collar down, exposing a slender, snow-white section of her neck.

A faint scent of sweet tea filled the car. Ruan Jiyan felt a little dizzy. She urgently wanted to open the window for ventilation. Just then, she heard Fu Qingyun say:

“We’re here.”

“Mm.”

Ruan Jiyan reached for the seatbelt buckle, but she felt weak all over and couldn’t exert any force in her arm.

“Can’t unlock it? I’ll do it.”

Seeing Ruan Jiyan struggling with the seatbelt, Fu Qingyun leaned over her to unbuckle it. Her drooping hair lightly brushed Ruan Jiyan’s cheek. The tips of her hair also quietly slipped into the slightly open neckline, teasing her nerves repeatedly.

The previously faint sweet tea scent intensified at this moment. Even Fu Qingyun noticed something was wrong.

Ruan Jiyan’s face was flushed. She tightly gripped Fu Qingyun’s wrist, as if enduring something.

“Sister, I don’t feel well…”
