Transmigrated as the Cannon Fodder Marked by the Villain (GL) - Chapter 7

Ruan Jiyan felt as if she was in a large furnace. Her eyelids were heavy; no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t open them.

A familiar female voice entered her ears, and Ruan Jiyan instinctively clenched her fists.

This voice was intimately known to her; even if she were reduced to ashes, it was deeply engraved in her mind, impossible to erase.

Fu Qingyun…

It was her.

What was she trying to do to her now?

Ruan Jiyan resisted with her entire body. She hated that she couldn’t move or speak, but there was absolutely nothing she could do.

She was now the meat on the chopping board, and Fu Qingyun was the butcher. She didn’t want to be played with by this person again.

“Ruan Jiyan, are you feeling better?”

Fu Qingyun watched the slight frown on her forehead, reaching out to touch her forehead, trying to test if she could awaken her consciousness.

Ruan Jiyan’s eyes were tightly shut. She didn’t say a word, just slowly turned over.

“Get some rest.”

Seeing Ruan Jiyan’s exhausted appearance, Fu Qingyun decided to let her sleep soundly to regain her energy. Then, she could have a proper conversation with her the next day.

She had to resolve things with Ruan Jiyan soon and get her to forgive her. But if the other party felt that the sins she committed were unforgivable, then Fu Qingyun would be out of options.

She prayed to the heavens to complete the mission soon and let her go home.

After a long day, even Fu Qingyun’s iron constitution was exhausted. She went to the bathroom to take a shower. As she came out wrapped in a bath towel, she saw Ruan Jiyan, bundled in the quilt, staring intently at her.

A chill ran down her spine. The scene of her being personally killed by Ruan Jiyan in the original plot flashed in Fu Qingyun’s mind.

Seeing Ruan Jiyan staring fixedly at her, Fu Qingyun subconsciously tightened the bath towel around herself. Only after confirming it wouldn’t fall off as she walked did she confidently approach the bedside.

She hoped Ruan Jiyan wouldn’t be so resistant to her, at least not right now. Fu Qingyun still wanted to talk to her once her health improved.

“Miss Ruan, how are you feeling now? Are you better?”

Fu Qingyun noticed her sunken eyes. Because Ruan Jiyan’s skin was fair, the dark circles under her eyes were visible to the naked eye.

“Why did you save me?”

Ruan Jiyan shrank back timidly as she spoke, clutching the quilt tightly with both hands, her knuckles white.

“You had a fever. It just broke, and also…”

Fu Qingyun felt a little embarrassed to say those three words in front of the person, but when she saw Ruan Jiyan’s pure eyes, she said:

“Your heat arrived. I injected an inhibitor into you in the car.”

“Mm.”

Ruan Jiyan lowered her head. Fu Qingyun couldn’t see the expression on her face at this moment. She sincerely apologized to her:

“Miss Ruan, about last night, I was wrong.”

Fu Qingyun clasped her hands together, cold sweat already seeping into her palms. The room was perfectly silent, only the sound of her own somewhat frantic breathing could be heard.

The expected hysterical cries and panicked revulsion didn’t happen. Instead, there was a calm that Fu Qingyun had never anticipated.

“I know.”

Ruan Jiyan’s eyes were dark, but when she lifted her head to look at Fu Qingyun, it was as if she had changed her expression.

“But, if it weren’t for you, I might have died…”

Fu Qingyun saw that Ruan Jiyan seemed to be moved by her sincere words, and since she brought her home today, there must be some softening in her heart, otherwise, she wouldn’t have listened to her so quietly.

“Miss Ruan, you can ask me for anything. As long as I can do it, I will fulfill your request.”

Ruan Jiyan didn’t speak. She lowered her head again, then gently shook it twice.

“Miss Ruan, I know you still doubt me,” Fu Qingyun slowly approached her, maintaining a safe distance between them. Fu Qingyun continued, “You lack a sense of security right now, and I am the culprit who caused you harm.”

Ruan Jiyan’s fingers twitched at her words. She wanted to continue listening to what this person was going to say.

“That night was my fault. Although I…”

Fu Qingyun’s words cut off abruptly. The original owner liked Ruan Jiyan and was in love with her at first sight, chasing after her relentlessly like a mad dog.

Not to mention Ruan Jiyan’s disgust and loathing, even Fu Qingyun wanted to slap the original owner a few times. She was a complete maniac.

“I liked you for so long. I admit I had those thoughts about you…”

Fu Qingyun lied against her conscience. She didn’t actually like Ruan Jiyan; she only felt guilt towards this person, mixed with an inexplicable fear.

A girl who was so pure and kind at the beginning had her beautiful life completely ruined because of Fu Qingyun’s selfishness and desire.

“But you were drugged that night, and I couldn’t just stand by and watch.”

The more she tried to explain, the worse it sounded. Fu Qingyun wanted to hit her own head to clear it up and figure out how to talk to Ruan Jiyan.

“How should I compensate you?”

“It has nothing to do with you.”

“Ah…”

Fu Qingyun suddenly looked at Ruan Jiyan. She couldn’t believe those words came out of her mouth.

It must be auditory hallucination.

Ruan Jiyan’s two index fingers were intertwined. She looked down and said in a tiny voice, “I want to thank you for helping me.”

Fu Qingyun was completely flattered: “Miss Ruan, you…”

Could it really be because of her emotional appeal that Ruan Jiyan forgave her for the harm she caused?

If that were the case, then Ruan Jiyan wasn’t as terrifying as she imagined.

This was the conclusion Fu Qingyun reached after a brainstorming session.

Ruan Jiyan was a reasonable good person, but precisely because of this—the fact that she wasn’t crying or making a scene—Fu Qingyun felt that something was amiss. She still couldn’t let her guard down. Good counseling was the most important thing.

“Girls really value this first time…”

Fu Qingyun’s expression was solemn. She stared intently into Ruan Jiyan’s eyes and said, “I know you hate me and really want to tear me to pieces, but if I die, how can I compensate you later?”

Compensation…

Ruan Jiyan’s eyes turned cold at the word, but instantly returned to normal.

“If you are willing…”

It was time to show her true skills. Fu Qingyun adopted her style of talking to patients, ready to have a heartfelt chat with Ruan Jiyan, when the phone on the table suddenly rang.

[Brother]

She saw that it was her brother calling and remembered that she had forgotten to let him know she was safe. So, she picked up the phone and answered.

“I need to take a call. You lie down and rest for a bit first.”

Fu Qingyun quietly told Ruan Jiyan about the phone call. She gently closed the door without making much noise and walked outside.

As soon as the door closed, Ruan Jiyan’s expression drastically changed. She stared intently at the closed door, clenching her teeth.

What exactly was Fu Qingyun trying to do? Was she tired of the relentless pursuit style from before and now trying to play a new script with her?

Ruan Jiyan recalled her previous life. This Alpha constantly harassed her. After learning that she was attending university in the Imperial Capital, she spared no expense to throw money at the situation, just to chase her.

Idiot.

She had always hated this type of person. The more Fu Qingyun persistently chased her, the more disgusted she felt.

The most unexpected thing for Ruan Jiyan was that Fu Qingyun found someone to drug her, then used the drug’s effect to take her virginity and brand her with a permanent mark that could not be washed away.

That was what happened in the previous life. Ruan Jiyan remembered clearly, but something seemed different this time.

Fu Qingyun hadn’t permanently marked her, nor had she abused or insulted her like a dog.

But how could she not realize that this was just a facade created by Fu Qingyun to possess her?

It was all a scam. Ruan Jiyan had no one left to trust but herself.
