Transmigrated as the Cannon Fodder Marked by the Villain (GL) - Chapter 30
“What confession wall?”
Fu Qingyun paused while peeling the shrimp for Ruan Jiyan.
Ruan Jiyan heard this and knew what was happening. She secretly bit Fu Qingyun’s fingertip, then quietly waited for the rest of the story.
Fu Qingyun leaned over to look at Lin Lesheng’s phone. On it was a side profile photo of her. Her face was slightly blurry, but it was unmistakably Fu Qingyun, as her looks were simply too eye-catching.
“Little Yunzi, you’re really popular! You were scouted on the very first day of school!”
【Confessing to this Alpha Sister! My legs went weak just looking at her!】
Ruan Jiyan’s gaze was fixed on the anonymous message below, which was soliciting Fu Qingyun. When she read that line, her face darkened. She then looked innocently at Fu Qingyun.
“Sister.”
Xuan Yu was concentrating on eating her food. When she looked up, she happened to glimpse Ruan Jiyan’s unsettling, gloomy expression. Although it was only for a moment, it sent a chill down her spine.
“Ignore it,” Fu Qingyun had seen this kind of thing often in school. At first, she felt awkward, but later, she gradually stopped caring. Anyway, people who only dared to post on the confession wall usually wouldn’t dare approach her face-to-face in real life.
“Oh.”
Ruan Jiyan’s mood darkened when she heard Fu Qingyun’s indifferent reply.
Fu Qingyun noticed her concern and smiled: “It must be because the green down jacket I wore today was too eye-catching. I won’t wear that one anymore.”
Lin Lesheng gulped down a large mouthful of plum juice, feeling judgmental inside, and finally voiced it:
“Do you think that person confessed to you because they liked your down jacket?”
Fu Qingyun: “…”
“Lesheng, reply for me. Just say P1 already has a girlfriend.”
“You’re bossy, but why don’t you reply yourself?”
Lin Lesheng said this and started typing a reply: “P1 already has a partner, don’t overthink it.”
“There. I replied for you. Go check it yourself.”
“Thank you.”
Fu Qingyun checked the reply and continued to serve Ruan Jiyan food: “This squid is quite good. Try some.”
Ruan Jiyan looked at the piece of squid Fu Qingyun put in her bowl. She had no appetite. All she could think about now was Fu Qingyun.
Why was she always noticed by so many people?
Just because of that face, she was pursued by Omegas and even posted on the confession wall with lewd comments.
Ruan Jiyan was already full of jealousy. She didn’t know how many people were coveting Fu Qingyun. Something like this happened on the very first day of school. It seemed she couldn’t let down her guard. With Fu Qingyun’s personality, anyone could walk up and strike up a conversation with her. If she wasn’t around, Fu Qingyun would probably have been easily seduced.
Fu Qingyun could only be hers. No one would take her away.
Ruan Jiyan’s gaze fell on Fu Qingyun, who was lowering her head to eat beef. Those beautiful peach blossom eyes were now filled with overwhelming possessiveness and control, carrying a heavy hint of aggression.
Xuan Yu, sitting across from Ruan Jiyan, happened to glance over again. She pretended to drink water to mask her nervousness and panic.
Fu Qingyun’s girlfriend is terrifying.
Especially those fleeting, unintentional glances. In Xuan Yu’s words, it felt like she wanted to devour people, reminiscent of a murder and dismemberment scene from a Japanese horror movie.
She had butchered chickens and pigs before, but she had never seen such resentment on the face of an obedient and beautiful Omega.
In contrast, Fu Qingyun sat beside her, gently embracing Ruan Jiyan, her eyes filled with affectionate fondness. Xuan Yu wondered what Fu Qingyun would think if she saw the scene she had just witnessed.
Her mother had often taught her not to meddle in other people’s business and not to interfere, or she would suffer the consequences.
She now only wished Fu Qingyun good luck and hoped that she was simply overthinking things.
As the group returned to school, Lin Lesheng’s phone rang with a notification. She checked it and saw a new friend request.
Lin Lesheng rarely used QQ; usually, she only typed “Received” in the class group. Yet, someone had managed to find and add her today.
Could it be romance?
She accepted without thinking twice.
【Hello, Senior.】
Lin Lesheng grinned, typing with both hands on her phone.
【Hello.】
She thought this was her romantic luck, but then the person sent another message that immediately poured a bucket of cold water over her burning heart.
【Is the Alpha Senior in the green jacket there?】
Lin Lesheng wished she could turn her phone into a brick and throw it at the back of Fu Qingyun’s head, who was walking ahead of her.
“Little Yunzi, look at this.”
“Don’t call me that.”
Fu Qingyun looked at Lin Lesheng with distaste. She kept feeling like she had heard that name somewhere before, and it was likely a eunuch.
“This is the girl from the confession wall who said her legs went weak for you today,” Lin Lesheng’s face twisted into an expression like a squashed gourd: “Unbelievable! She managed to track down my number and is asking about you right in front of me.”
Ruan Jiyan’s expression was unusually grim. Staring at the dialogue on the phone, a surge of unknown anger rose in her heart, almost setting her internal organs on fire.
“Sister, you are so popular.”
Hearing Ruan Jiyan’s deeply resentful tone, Fu Qingyun hugged her and comforted her: “Ruan Bao, don’t you trust me? I’ll handle this. Please don’t be angry, okay?”
“I’m not angry.”
Ruan Jiyan’s voice sounded muffled. She used the hand tucked into Fu Qingyun’s jacket pocket to pinch the soft flesh on the other woman’s waist, then slowly massaged it through the thin layer of sweater.
“I’m just not happy.”
“You’re bullying me again.”
Fu Qingyun grabbed Ruan Jiyan’s hand, which was constantly causing trouble on her body, and playfully scratched her palm fiercely. Ruan Jiyan finally quieted down.
“How should I reply? Give me advice.”
Fu Qingyun saw Lin Lesheng’s embarrassment and took the phone to type the reply herself.
【Sorry, I don’t know her.】
Lin Lesheng saw this and added one more word with malicious glee.
Darling.
“You’re so mean.”
Fu Qingyun held Ruan Jiyan’s hand and walked ahead, with Lin Lesheng following behind to deal with the aftermath.
She sighed, regretfully deleting the contact of the beautiful girl she had just added, completely cutting off this unwanted romantic interest for Fu Qingyun.
This person knew she already had a girlfriend but wouldn’t give up. People like that, even if they ended up with another Alpha, that unlucky partner would eventually be cheated on.
Xuan Yu quietly observed Ruan Jiyan, who was standing beside Fu Qingyun. Although she knew this was a private matter and she shouldn’t interfere, Ruan Jiyan did seem to her like someone who was not what she appeared to be.
Since she couldn’t speak up, she could only temporarily suppress these unrealistic thoughts. Perhaps she was wrong and had misunderstood Ruan Jiyan.
“Do you want to grab some milk tea?”
Fu Qingyun saw couples holding hands and carrying milk tea. Although she didn’t particularly like it, girls like Ruan Jiyan usually did.
“Mhm.”
Fu Qingyun queued up, and Ruan Jiyan followed her.
Lin Lesheng stood at the back, embracing Xuan Yu like a resentful woman: “Yu Bao, we are the most pathetic. Why don’t we just date each other?”
“We’re both Alphas. How can we be together?”
Lin Lesheng deflated like a burst balloon, complaining mournfully: “This is so unfair! Why don’t I have a girlfriend!”
The couples in the queue in front of them turned back to look, their eyes suggesting they thought Lin Lesheng was mentally deficient.
Ruan Jiyan finally got the hot milk tea Fu Qingyun bought. She liked eating strawberries but wasn’t very fond of strawberry-flavored things, especially strawberry milk tea.
Fu Qingyun seemed to have already figured out her preferences and deliberately avoided strawberry milk tea.
“They say drinking milk tea makes you fat, but my Ruan Bao can drink all she wants and never gain weight.”
Ruan Jiyan took a large sip of the hot milk tea and was instantly satisfied.
“Sister, why aren’t you drinking?”
“I actually…”
Seeing that Fu Qingyun hadn’t bought one, Ruan Jiyan offered her the straw she had just bitten, looking expectant.
Fu Qingyun was actually a bit of a germaphobe. She never shared straws or eating utensils with others, but this was Ruan Jiyan.
Without thinking, she opened her mouth and sucked on the flattened straw tip, getting a mouthful of coconut jelly.
“It’s so sweet.”
Lin Lesheng watched this ultimate display of affection, once again showing an expression of misery.
“You guys go back to the dorm. I’ll walk Jiyan back.”
“Bye-bye.”
They parted ways, and now only Ruan Jiyan and Fu Qingyun remained.
Ruan Jiyan finally felt a sense of relief seeing the others leave.
It was best when it was just her and Fu Qingyun. With others around, she had no peace of mind. Instead, she had to focus all her attention on them, worried that Fu Qingyun would be corrupted by strangers.
When they reached the dorm building, Fu Qingyun unzipped her jacket and pulled out a single red rose, which she handed to Ruan Jiyan with a smile.
“For you.”
“I didn’t see it. Where did you buy it?”
“I won’t tell you,” Fu Qingyun leaned down and kissed Ruan Jiyan’s lips. It was cool and refreshing.
“A goodnight kiss for you.”
“Hey, it’s cold out there. Hurry up and finish kissing and come inside.”
The dorm supervisor, having seen it all, maintained a straight face as she watched the loving, inseparable couple outside.
These young people are all so passionate.
Ruan Jiyan took the rose and the milk tea back to her dorm. As she opened the door and entered the living room, a burst of laughter erupted inside. The moment she pushed the door in, the laughter abruptly stopped.
Li Yanwei rolled her eyes and turned away. The other two also ignored Ruan Jiyan.
She was in a good mood now, so she didn’t want to bother with them.
Ruan Jiyan placed the rose on the desk. The milk tea was finished. Just as she was about to throw the cup into the trash can, Zhang Xiaolan spoke up:
“Ruan Jiyan, it’s your turn to clean the dorm today.”
“Why me?”
Ruan Jiyan held the rose in her hand, snapping off the thorns one by one. Her finger was accidentally pricked by a tiny thorn hidden under a leaf, letting out a small, bright red bead of blood.
“Hey, newcomer, why are you being so hostile? It’s not like anyone said you were mute.”
Li Yanwei had long been annoyed by this young lady. She was already irritated by the new addition to the dorm. She had piled a lot of her things onto Ruan Jiyan’s empty bed, and some of her clothes were stuffed into the cabinet. Then, the moment she opened the door, she saw several men in suits and ties clearing the bed and removing all her belongings.
She was naturally short-tempered and spoiled as a pampered young lady at home, but she didn’t dare speak out against the imposing people who came to clear the bed.
So, she decided to find out which princess was moving into the dorm.
It wasn’t until she saw Ruan Jiyan that she felt inferior in every way.
The other girl was more beautiful, and her family background was far superior to hers.
Li Yanwei was jealous.
And when she saw the gentle Alpha accompanying Ruan Jiyan, she couldn’t understand why.
Why could that white lotus have such a prime Alpha? Alphas pursued her, but none of them could compare to the gentle and powerful Alpha today.
“Why didn’t you discuss the cleaning schedule with me?”
Ruan Jiyan sat on the chair, staring at the turned-off computer screen. She put the fingertip that was slowly oozing blood into her mouth.
The taste of blood spread throughout her mouth, salty and metallic.
Ruan Jiyan used to hate this taste the most, but now she loved it immensely.
The smell of blood could help her stay clear-headed.
She wondered if it would be even more effective if it were someone else’s.
Li Yanwei thought Ruan Jiyan was a quiet person who let others bully her, but she turned out to be no pushover.
Of course. How could someone who was two-faced and hooked up with Alphas be a pushover?
“You ran out all night and God knows what you were doing. We didn’t have your contact information, so how could we find you?”
Ruan Jiyan licked her lips and said expressionlessly, “Then why didn’t you say anything when I was in the dorm?”
She looked at the excessive amount of trash. There hadn’t been that much when she arrived today. It was clear someone intended to bully her.
If it were the Ruan Jiyan of the previous life, she would have obediently swept and taken out the trash. But this was clearly bullying, and there was no way Ruan Jiyan would swallow her anger and accept the mistreatment.
She walked to the door, looked at the chore chart posted on the back, and then threw the finished milk tea cup into the trash can.
“Today is Monday. It’s Li Yanwei’s day for cleaning.”
Ruan Jiyan looked at them and asked: “Who is Li Yanwei? Come take out the trash. The bin is almost full.”
Li Yanwei’s head shot up to look at Ruan Jiyan. She saw her staring at the chore chart behind the door.
Damn it. How could she forget to tear that down?
The trash can was full of instant noodle broth and some rotten fruit peels.
Li Yanwei had told Zhang Xiaolan to secretly pour the leftover noodle broth into the bin. She had planned to give Ruan Jiyan a taste of her authority today, but her oversight led to her being outmaneuvered.
“That chart doesn’t count. We made a new schedule. It’s your turn today.”
Li Yanwei’s face was dark, and she refused to back down. Ruan Jiyan wasn’t going to humor her anymore.
“Where is the chart? Show it to me. Without a chore chart, how do I know if it’s my turn or yours today?”
“Stop arguing.”
Zhou Wan, who was studying, couldn’t stand it anymore. She glanced at Li Yanwei, then at the expressionless Ruan Jiyan. She took out a pen and added Ruan Jiyan’s name back onto the chart.
“Ruan Jiyan, your turn is Thursday.”
Li Yanwei couldn’t believe Zhou Wan would side with her. Ruan Jiyan was the newcomer. Why was she siding with the newcomer and showing her no respect?
“Zhou Wan, think carefully.”
Faced with Li Yanwei’s hushed warning, Zhou Wan calmly capped her pen and gave the other woman a cold look.
“It’s your turn today.”
Zhou Wan knew she had offended Li Yanwei, but she couldn’t stand her arrogant and overbearing behavior.
So what if Ruan Jiyan was the newcomer? They were both students at Imperial University, both majoring in Finance. Why couldn’t they get along?
Li Yanwei stood up angrily. The anger she felt toward Ruan Jiyan was now completely redirected at Zhou Wan.
A total turncoat. She bends whichever way the wind blows.
Seeing that Ruan Jiyan was richer and more powerful than her, she immediately started sucking up to her. Li Yanwei was certainly not disappointed.
“Go clean up now.”
Zhang Xiaolan didn’t dare say much. She vaguely felt that something was about to happen.
Li Yanwei opened the stinky trash can. She picked up the black trash bag with one finger, but the bottom had a leak. All the instant noodle broth dripped onto her pajamas and pants.
“It’s disgusting!!”
She would make Zhou Wan regret this.
Ruan Jiyan took her toiletries to the bathroom to shower. Before showering, she took off the watch on her wrist and placed it on the desk.
That expensive watch should have been waterproof, but Ruan Jiyan didn’t dare wear it in. She was afraid of ruining Fu Qingyun’s brother’s thoughtful gift.
Li Yanwei went downstairs to throw the trash and started sweeping. She swept from the balcony and happened to sweep near Ruan Jiyan’s bed, where she couldn’t resist looking at the desk covered with cosmetics and skincare products.
Each bottle started at five digits, and she had so many bottles here.
Some brands were well-known brands Li Yanwei had seen, but she didn’t even recognize the names of others. However, having been in makeup for so many years, she knew immediately that they weren’t cheap knock-offs.
They must have been specially customized for her skin.
And those exquisite bottled perfumes—Li Yanwei couldn’t afford any of them.
Perfume shouldn’t be left out like that; it can easily evaporate. But Ruan Jiyan clearly didn’t care where she put them.
Li Yanwei was green with envy.
When her eyes landed on the watch inlaid with pink diamonds on the desk, Li Yanwei instantly fell in love with it.
She didn’t know the brand of the watch, but she loved it just by looking at it.
It must be expensive. It probably costs over a hundred thousand.
She couldn’t afford it.
Ruan Jiyan finished her shower and came out. Li Yanwei had finished cleaning. She didn’t want to stay downstairs, so she planned to put on a face mask and climb onto her bed to call Fu Qingyun.
Li Yanwei’s bed was next to Ruan Jiyan’s. She watched with her own eyes as Ruan Jiyan took out a several-thousand-yuan face mask and applied it, then used five-figure lotion and cream to moisturize her body.
Just then, she thought of Fu Qingyun, and Fu Qingyun video-called her.
“Ruan Bao, what are you doing?”
Fu Qingyun had just finished a can of beer. Lin Lesheng had a very low tolerance for alcohol. After one bottle of beer, she was already acting crazy. She and Xuan Yu were busy trying to sober her up. Fu Qingyun hadn’t even showered yet.
“I’m putting on a face mask. Don’t look at me.”
“Give me a kiss through the screen.”
Fu Qingyun stared at Ruan Jiyan, who was glowing with softness on the screen. Pink bubbles of joy filled her heart. All she wanted was to hold the person in her arms and kiss her all over.
Ruan Jiyan was a very meticulous person. Fu Qingyun noticed the skincare products were almost all expensive brands favored by wealthy women. She finally found one affordable lotion to use as body cream.
The two talked intimately on the phone. Then a voice came from Fu Qingyun’s side: “Hurry up and shower. The water will be shut off soon.”
“Then I’m going to shower,” Fu Qingyun looked at Ruan Jiyan reluctantly, smiling: “We’ll go to class together tomorrow.”
Ruan Jiyan finished her face mask. She had used half of the lotion, saving the other half for after her shower tomorrow.
The Fu family really was different. Ruan Jiyan looked at the skincare products prepared for her and knew how important she was in Fu Qingyan’s eyes.
Fu Qingyan adored Fu Qingyun. He would naturally go out of his way to treat his sister’s lover well.
Early the next morning, Fu Qingyun waited for Ruan Jiyan under her dorm building. She wore a white down jacket today and had a baseball cap on, her face covered up to her nose with a scarf.
Now no one could clearly see her face. Ruan Jiyan should be reassured.
Ruan Jiyan rode the elevator down with a large crowd of students heading to their early morning classes. Amidst the countless faces, she immediately spotted Fu Qingyun waiting for her.
This person stood out like a crane in a flock of chickens. She was impossible to ignore.
Even though her entire face was covered, it couldn’t hide her commanding aura and alluring charm.
Many female Omegas were waiting to see who the tall female Alpha was waiting for.
Fu Qingyun also noticed Ruan Jiyan in the crowd the moment she stepped out of the elevator.
“Sister.”
Ruan Jiyan ran toward Fu Qingyun with her backpack. She naturally took the hand the other woman extended. Fu Qingyun, in turn, took her backpack and put it on her own back.
“Why are you carrying so many books?”
“I have many classes today. I have no choice. I’m starting from scratch, so I must study hard.”
The Omegas who were watching Fu Qingyun saw her hold the hand of another beautiful Omega, and they immediately became envious of Ruan Jiyan.
Their classes were in different buildings. Ruan Jiyan and Fu Qingyun separated at the intersection.
Ruan Jiyan finally finished her morning classes, determined to pay attention.
It was already extremely lucky for her to be back here. She was only twenty, and her beautiful life was just beginning. Ruan Jiyan couldn’t waste her reborn youth like this.
Besides revenge, she also wanted to enjoy life.
Enjoy the things she couldn’t enjoy in her previous life.
Ruan Jiyan received a message in the class group. The university physical test was scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.
For her, the physical test was a nightmare.
Ruan Jiyan had low blood sugar and couldn’t engage in strenuous exercise.
But now her body was almost recovered. Even if she didn’t take the physical test now, she would have to take a makeup test later.
“Are you taking the physical test tomorrow?”
Fu Qingyun ate with Ruan Jiyan in the cafeteria: “Although your wound is almost healed, you shouldn’t do strenuous exercise.”
The physical test wasn’t exactly strenuous, but Fu Qingyun was still concerned about Ruan Jiyan’s health, despite the fact that Ruan Jiyan had taken many supplements while in her care.
“I’m fine, Sister,” Ruan Jiyan smiled, taking a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs from Fu Qingyun’s plate: “Are you treating me like a patient? I’ve been fine for a while.”
“Not a patient, a sick beauty.”
In Fu Qingyun’s eyes, Ruan Jiyan was like her precious treasure, but she was in school now.
Fu Qingyun actually didn’t plan to attend school, but she had nothing else to do.
Her current identity was the second young miss of the Fu family, not the surgeon she was before.
If things turned out badly, even if Ruan Jiyan didn’t turn evil and didn’t single-handedly destroy the Fu family, Fu Qingyun was still worried about the Fu family’s fate in the end.
She had no business acumen; she could only treat illnesses. If the Fu family collapsed, Fu Qingyun could still work as a doctor, which would at least spare her the trouble of running around.
On the day of Ruan Jiyan’s physical test, Fu Qingyun had to go to the lab to see her old friends, the lab mice. She had originally wanted to cheer Ruan Jiyan on from the side, but now she had to stay in the lab, wearing a white coat, talking sweet nothings to the mice.
Even the old professor in charge of the experiment hadn’t expected Fu Qingyun, a student who hadn’t stepped foot in the lab for a day, to be more skilled than the others.
After the physical test, Ruan Jiyan felt like her soul had left her body.
Her waist and legs ached. Especially after running, she almost collapsed on the ground, unable to get up. Zhou Wan eventually helped her up and gave her water.
“Thank you.”
Although Ruan Jiyan disliked Li Yanwei, Zhou Wan hadn’t done anything to her. So, she knew which friends to make. Ruan Jiyan was not ignorant of social etiquette.
Before the physical test, Ruan Jiyan deliberately took off her watch and put it in a drawer. When she remembered it after returning to the dorm, she found only an empty box.
Zhou Wan, who accompanied her upstairs, said the dorm room was empty when they returned.
Ruan Jiyan saw her searching everywhere and asked: “Did you lose something?”
“My watch is gone.”
“What kind of watch? I’ll help you look.”
“You must be tired from running. I’ll look for it myself.”
Ruan Jiyan sat on the chair and wiped her face, then sent a message to Fu Qingyun.
【Sister, I can’t find my watch.】
She clearly remembered putting the watch in the small box in the drawer before the physical test today, but now the small box was still there, but the watch was gone.
The only possibility was that the watch didn’t fly away. Some people had crooked intentions and stole the watch.
【Lost it?】
Fu Qingyun was warming up on the field, preparing to run. She didn’t know how much Fu Qingyan bought that pair of watches for, but it definitely wasn’t cheap. Now Ruan Jiyan couldn’t find the watch. She would probably be sad for a while.
So, she called Ruan Jiyan and comforted her:
“It’s okay, Ruan Bao. If you can’t find it, forget about it. I’ll buy you a new one, alright?”
“But my brother gave it to me! I have to find it.”
The watch was originally priced at five million yuan. Ruan Jiyan had indeed been around Fu Qingyun for a long time. Even losing a five-million-yuan designer watch didn’t make her feel bad.
To Fu Qingyun, losing a watch was not a big deal, but Ruan Jiyan was determined to find the person who stole her watch.
