Transmigrated as the Cannon Fodder Marked by the Villain (GL) - Chapter 42

“What?”

Song Nanyan paused, listening to Jiang Yunting’s words.

“I didn’t actually want to come to this blind date, but after hearing of CEO Song’s reputation, I came. I didn’t expect you to be as humorous as ever.”

Jiang Yunting had already noticed Song Nanyan’s little trick the moment that Omega rushed in. She hadn’t enjoyed such a satisfying spectacle in a long time. She was about to say a few more things, but Song Nanyan’s hired help “spoiled the fun.”

“Actually, that Omega was a temporary actress I hired.”

Song Nanyan decided to be honest. She felt all her clumsy lies were exposed in front of Jiang Yunting, so she spoke freely.

“My mother has been pressuring me to go on blind dates lately. Those Omegas are either daughters of some CEO or sons of nouveau riche.”

Moreover, the main goal of most of them was to eye the Song family fortune. Song Nanyan naturally wouldn’t choose someone like that to be her partner. She didn’t even want to waste words on them.

“Miss Jiang, what exactly do you do for a living?”

This question had been in Song Nanyan’s mind since she first met Jiang Yunting. The other person’s conversation was extraordinary, and her surrounding aura was noble and elegant, like a figure who stepped out of an ancient painting, yet she was also more playful than herself.

“It’s nothing much. Just exploring tombs, opening coffins, things like that.”

“Cough, cough—”

Song Nanyan looked horrified. Her face changed color when she heard the joke: “You couldn’t possibly be a…”

“…tomb raider, could you?”

Jiang Yunting took a sip of red wine, curving her lips at Song Nanyan’s reaction: “CEO Song, what are you thinking? I’m an archaeology professor.”

“Archaeology?”

Song Nanyan chuckled awkwardly. This involved her lack of knowledge, but archaeology did sound quite cool, just a bit tiring.

“What did CEO Song think I did?”

“Nothing,” Song Nanyan shook her head: “You were injured and hospitalized a few months ago. Was that because of archaeology?”

“Indeed.”

Jiang Yunting’s elegant, long swan neck leaned slightly forward. Her fingers holding the red wine glass were fair and slender. Song Nanyan’s gaze drifted away. The other woman’s skin didn’t look like it had been exposed to the sun and wind.

“That time was because we didn’t survey the geological conditions properly beforehand. The moment we entered the tomb, the ceiling collapsed. There were three teammates with me…”

She paused there. Song Nanyan could clearly see Jiang Yunting’s expression turn slightly unpleasant, but the other woman’s ability to control her facial expressions was exceptional. In a blink of an eye, Song Nanyan saw her return to her pleasant, smiling demeanor.

This matter was a persistent thorn in Jiang Yunting’s heart. Only she escaped the accident. The other three people were all buried in the collapsed tomb while ensuring her safe exit, becoming, in essence, “burial objects.”

Jiang Yunting’s leg was broken in the collapse, which was why she was hospitalized. Although her teammates never blamed her, the incident still weighed heavily on her conscience.

Song Nanyan vaguely felt the matter was not as simple as Jiang Yunting made it sound. Since the other person didn’t want to disclose that experience, Song Nanyan wouldn’t press further, as it was her private life.

“Are you still doing archaeological work now?”

Jiang Yunting shook her head. Her gaze shifted to the distant Nanjiang Bridge, and then she smiled: “I’m back at school as a professor now. I occasionally mentor students in fieldwork.”

“What about CEO Song,” Jiang Yunting withdrew her gaze and looked at Song Nanyan: “CEO Song has been asking me questions, but I haven’t asked you any.”

“Miss Jiang.”

“Call me Yunting.”

“Yunting.”

Song Nanyan mustered her courage to utter those two words. She wasn’t usually someone who got nervous easily, but meeting Jiang Yunting today, she felt she was constantly being outmaneuvered.

“Why does CEO Song look so nervous? Did I say something wrong?”

Although Jiang Yunting said this, the smile in her eyes was unconcealed: “Tit for tat. You call me Yunting, and I’ll call you Nanyan.”

That was true. Calling her “CEO Song” was too formal. She wanted to tease this Alpha, who seemed astute yet awkward.

“O-okay…”

Stuttering again. Song Nanyan wished she could slap herself. She was truly having bad luck today, constantly making a fool of herself in front of Jiang Yunting, and being exposed ruthlessly by the other woman.

The smile on Jiang Yunting’s face, to Song Nanyan, was like a pool of unmelting spring water, gentle and enchanting.

“We had a nice chat today. It looks like my family won’t cause me any unnecessary trouble for now.”

“What do you mean?”

Song Nanyan was a little confused. She still thoughtfully opened the car door for Jiang Yunting, only to hear the other woman say: “I’m already in your passenger seat. Don’t you understand what I mean?”

This was the first time Jiang Yunting had felt an instant connection with an Alpha. Although this person was somewhat silly during their conversation, it didn’t diminish Jiang Yunting’s good impression of Song Nanyan.

In her view, it was rare for an Alpha who inherited a fortune of hundreds of billions to be like Song Nanyan. Jiang Yunting found it interesting. This was the first time she had been intrigued by a wealthy businesswoman.

The Jiang family was an academic family. The thought of the middle-aged, balding men her mother arranged for her, who proudly considered themselves literary masters, made Jiang Yunting uncomfortable.

“Let’s go. Take me somewhere fun.”

Fu Qingyun finally got rid of the persistent Ling Da. When she stepped out, she saw that Song Nanyan was gone, and her car was also gone.

Misfortunes never come singly. Not only did Song Nanyan not pay the bill, but she also drove away with her car. Fu Qingyun walked to the bus stop to take the bus. The moment she sat down, she received a call from Ruan Jiyan.

“Sister, where are you?”

Something was wrong. She checked her phone. It wasn’t time for classes to end yet. Why was Ruan Jiyan calling now? Was she checking up on her? So, she lied: “I’m at home. What’s wrong?”

After all, she had promised Ruan Jiyan that morning that she would stay home all day and not go out, except to pick her up from school.

“Sister, look behind you.”

Fu Qingyun, completely unaware of the impending danger, subconsciously turned around, only to meet Ruan Jiyan’s scrutinizing eyes in the last row.

Danger.

Fu Qingyun was dumbfounded. She thought she had the time wrong. Wasn’t Ruan Jiyan in class right now? Why was she suddenly on the bus?

Ruan Jiyan smiled faintly at the horrified Fu Qingyun. The smile, to the other woman, was the exclusive grin of a great demon.

“Sister, come here.”

Ruan Jiyan spoke into the phone, which was still connected: “I have something to tell you.”

Although Fu Qingyun felt guilty, she obediently walked over. Just as she reached Ruan Jiyan and was about to sit down, the bus braked suddenly. She almost fell on top of Ruan Jiyan.

It turned out a few dogs were blocking the road ahead. Ruan Jiyan grabbed Fu Qingyun’s wrist, pulled her to sit down, and then leaned against her softly and obediently.

Fu Qingyun was hugged around the waist. The bus wasn’t crowded, and they were the only two in the back row. Fu Qingyun let Ruan Jiyan move her hands around freely.

“What did Sister promise me this morning?”

Fu Qingyun quickly confessed her mistake: “It was my fault for disobeying you and sneaking out to watch the show. Now my car has been stolen too.”

Song Nanyan, the thief of her car, was currently driving around freely with her blind date.

“Yunting, let’s go. I’ll take you onto the bridge.”

The view from the Nanjiang Bridge was stunning. Song Nanyan drove slowly, wanting Jiang Yunting to enjoy the breeze and the vast scenery.

Meanwhile, Fu Qingyun was honestly recounting the recent events to Ruan Jiyan. More and more people gradually boarded the bus. Fu Qingyun leaned close to Ruan Jiyan’s ear and whispered: “Ruan Bao, Big Sister will never lie to you again. Will you forgive me this time?”

If there’s a first time, there will be a second. Although Fu Qingyun went to watch gossip, she hadn’t reported it to her beforehand. If today’s third and fourth periods hadn’t been rescheduled, she wouldn’t have thought to surprise Fu Qingyun by coming home early. She certainly hadn’t expected to meet her on the bus.

“You promised me this. Don’t do it again next time.”

“Mhm, I swear.”

Since classes were over early, and Ruan Jiyan didn’t have any afternoon classes, Fu Qingyun decided to take her to the amusement park.

The reason was simple: Fu Qingyun felt Ruan Jiyan’s routine of classes was boring. She heard that extreme sports at an amusement park could be relaxing, and taking a girlfriend to an amusement park was a necessary ritual for couples.

Returning home, Fu Qingyun immediately took off her high heels. She still wasn’t suited for such thin and tall shoes. Although they could be used for self-defense, she couldn’t walk much in them.

Fu Qingyun couldn’t pull off the pretentious act of the CEO in romance novels who reserved the entire amusement park with a simple gesture. So, she honestly bought two tickets and entered with Ruan Jiyan. It was more fun with a crowd anyway.

“Look! It’s two pretty older sisters!”

The moment Fu Qingyun and Ruan Jiyan entered the amusement park hand-in-hand, they were surrounded by a few children. One child even gave Fu Qingyun a pink cotton candy.

“Thank you, little one.”

She handed the cotton candy to Ruan Jiyan, who said sourly, “That’s for her, not for me. I don’t want it!”

“What’s mine is yours.”

Fu Qingyun smiled. Taking Ruan Jiyan to the amusement park was truly something that brought out her inner child. She realized Ruan Jiyan was becoming more and more childlike.

This stringy cotton candy melted easily. Fu Qingyun decided to eat it with Ruan Jiyan before it got covered in more dust.

“Come on, let’s eat it together.”

Ruan Jiyan took a large, unreserved bite. As a result, the bottom half of her face got covered in sticky, melted sugar.

Fu Qingyun couldn’t help but laugh. She licked the melted area where Ruan Jiyan had bitten: “So sweet.”

She never used to eat things that had touched other people’s saliva. Since being with Ruan Jiyan, she had become someone who ate “saliva” every day.

Ruan Jiyan had a small appetite. Everything she couldn’t finish went into Fu Qingyun’s stomach. Fu Qingyun was happy to indulge her.

“I don’t want any more.”

Ruan Jiyan touched her slightly sticky cheek, which was covered in sugar from the cotton candy. Fu Qingyun took a parasol from her bag, opened it, and led Ruan Jiyan to a secluded corner by a wall.

Before she could even ask, her face suddenly felt warm. Fu Qingyun cupped Ruan Jiyan’s chin with one hand, then reached out her wet, soft tongue to lick the sugar off Ruan Jiyan’s fair cheek.

“Sister, what are you doing?”

This act was both forbidden and stimulating. Especially in this crowded place, Fu Qingyun kissed her lips directly.

“Mmm.”

Outside the parasol was one world; inside was another. Ruan Jiyan instinctively wrapped her arms around Fu Qingyun’s neck, passionately responding to the kiss, which went from a light peck to intense passion.

“Sister… mmm…”

Her legs were weak. Ruan Jiyan’s scalp tingled, the sensation running from the crown of her head to the soles of her feet. She hadn’t expected to experience this simultaneous tingling and excitement in a crowded amusement park.

It was too stimulating.

“Hiss…”

Her lips were itchy and numb, then Fu Qingyun bit her.

The distant noise grew louder. Ruan Jiyan patted Fu Qingyun’s back but was caught off guard by the other woman’s sly, upturned phoenix eyes.

The sweet kiss ended. Fu Qingyun licked her lips, savoring the moment:

“Sure enough, your mouth is the sweetest.”
