Transmigrated as the Cannon Fodder Marked by the Villain (GL) - Chapter 18

After returning to the villa, Fu Qingyun felt that Ruan Jiyan, who was supporting her, was acting strangely.

She kept her head down and said nothing. The silence between them instantly made Fu Qingyun feel like she had done something wrong.

“Ruan Jiyan, thank you for your trouble.”

Fu Qingyun struggled a bit going up the steps. She let out a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and hopped up on one leg: “Actually, I can manage myself.”

She was indeed tough. She had often twisted her ankle when rushing to save patients before. Today was truly a mistake made in haste, and she had delayed for so long that when she took off her high heels, her ankle was already swollen into a large lump.

Ruan Jiyan stared at Fu Qingyun’s ankle. At this moment, the ankle, which was usually as beautiful as a carved piece of art, was terribly red and swollen.

“This is all my fault.”

She slowly squatted down and examined Fu Qingyun’s sprained ankle.

“I’ll go find the medicine for you. The villa should have some, right?”

Ruan Jiyan followed Fu Qingyun’s instructions and found the medicine for bruises and sprains. She also found several frozen ice packs in the freezer and brought them to the table with both hands.

“I’ll do it myself.”

Seeing the non-medically savvy Ruan Jiyan about to grab her ankle and spray the medicine directly, she quickly said, “Ice first.”

“Hiss… it hurts.”

It had to be said, a sprained ankle really did hurt.

This was the first time Fu Qingyun had a sprain since coming to this world, and it was her crucial ankle. Now what? Injuries to tendons and bones take a hundred days to heal. She would likely need half a month of recovery at home before she could walk.

The ice pack pressed tightly against Fu Qingyun’s swollen ankle, causing a cold, sharp sting. Fu Qingyun gritted her teeth and endured it.

Ruan Jiyan sat to the side, watching Fu Qingyun’s painful expression, and a sense of guilt inevitably rose in her heart.

“Sister, I’m sorry. I was terrified at the time…”

Looking at Ruan Jiyan nervously pinching her fingers, Fu Qingyun understood the danger of the situation. Anyone else would have been too scared to move. Moreover, Ruan Jiyan had gone through such a major tragedy in her family. Maybe she…

…was trying to take her own life.

Fu Qingyun’s heart tightened. She looked at the downcast Ruan Jiyan, decisively reached out her arms, and slowly pulled the person into a hug, comforting her: “You really scared me to death today.”

It seemed Fu Qingyun couldn’t let Ruan Jiyan leave her sight anymore. If the idea of seeking death appeared again in her mind, and she wasn’t there to counsel her, and Ruan Jiyan actually did something irreversible, it would be utterly beyond saving.

“Sister, I’m fine. You saved me, but I caused you injury. It’s my fault.”

Hearing Ruan Jiyan apologize repeatedly, Fu Qingyun lightly patted her back and continued to comfort her: “You don’t need to blame yourself. Look on the bright side: I sprained my foot, but I saved you. It was worth it.”

“Sister, being so good to me isn’t worth it.”

Ruan Jiyan’s eyes were moist and red. She bit her lower lip, shaking her head: “It really isn’t worth it.”

Fu Qingyun saved her. Although she still held a grudge, Ruan Jiyan wasn’t completely heartless.

If not for the other woman, Ruan Jiyan might have been the one lying in the ICU, or perhaps even less lucky, losing her life under the wheels of the truck.

Although Ruan Jiyan desperately wanted to settle the score with Fu Qingyun, she could only act pitiable around her for now to capture all of the other woman’s attention.

After hearing Ruan Jiyan’s words, Fu Qingyun’s mind was once again in turmoil.

This is bad. Ruan Jiyan could say something like that, which meant her heart was already desolate, and she implicitly admitted to the thought of ending her life.

Fu Qingyun caught a faint scent of sweet tea pheromone, which she knew was Ruan Jiyan’s scent. Having had close physical contact with her, she could detect their pheromones when their bodies were pressed together.

Ruan Jiyan also smelled the red wine scent, rich and elegant.

This was the first time she hadn’t been so resistant to the red wine scent. Instead, she felt that Fu Qingyun’s scent offered her immense comfort, enough to calm her anxious mood.

When an Omega isn’t repulsed by an Alpha’s pheromone but actually enjoys it, it suggests that the pheromone compatibility between the two exceeds 90%, and the physical compatibility is also high.

“Ruan Jiyan,” Fu Qingyun smiled softly at her: “I will protect you with all my ability, so can you please let me see the hope that you will pull yourself together again?”

“Not for me, but for yourself.”

This was the first time Ruan Jiyan had heard Fu Qingyun say “for herself” in such a serious manner.

“Sister, I…”

Fu Qingyun didn’t pressure her, instead giving Ruan Jiyan more time to figure things out for herself. She wasn’t sure if Ruan Jiyan would accept her motivational talk, but it was better than nothing.

“I understand.”

Ruan Jiyan fiddled with the Hong Hua You (safflower oil) in the first-aid kit. Fu Qingyun saw it and smiled: “Apply that after the ice pack.”

“Sister, why do I feel like you know everything?”

Ruan Jiyan looked up with an innocent, small face and asked curiously, “Did you specifically study this?”

Fu Qingyun certainly couldn’t reveal her true identity, so she fabricated an excuse: “Yes. I’m the kind of person who always attracts trouble, so I taught myself some basic skills. I didn’t expect them to come in handy.”

“Alright, I see.”

Ruan Jiyan said this, but she didn’t believe Fu Qingyun at all.

The Fu family young miss, constantly followed by bodyguards, how could she possibly make enemies and attract trouble?

It proved that Fu Qingyun was lying to her; she definitely had some unspeakable secret she was hiding.

Ruan Jiyan was overwhelmed by curiosity. If this Fu Qingyun wasn’t the same Fu Qingyun from the previous life, then the whole matter became much more interesting.

Fu Qingyun was unaware that Ruan Jiyan had already started plotting to explore her secrets. She was still happy that she had successfully talked the distressed girl out of the idea of suicide.

“Jiyan,” Fu Qingyun winked at Ruan Jiyan: “Can I call you Jiyan?”

“Jiyan?”

Fu Qingyun quickly said, “If not, then forget it.”

“Sure, Sister can call me anything.”

Fu Qingyun looked at Ruan Jiyan’s obedient and soft appearance, and couldn’t help but reach out and stroke the top of her head, secretly delighted:

She feels so nice.

“Such a good girl.”

“…”

Fu Qingyun immediately regretted saying that. She wasn’t a woman nearly thirty; she was a twenty-year-old university student, similar in age to Ruan Jiyan.

Although her current body was 22, the two-year difference shouldn’t warrant such words.

“Sorry, Jiyan, I misspoke.”

Ruan Jiyan always felt that Fu Qingyun’s actions and words carried a sense of maturity that didn’t fit her age, but that was exactly the feeling she was eager to explore.

“It’s nothing.”

“By the way,” Fu Qingyun quickly changed the subject: “I’ve already arranged for your student status to be reinstated. You can go straight to school when the winter break ends.”
