After Transmigrating into a Book as a Cannon Fodder Character, The System Turned out to be Completely Unreliable! - Chapter 35

Chapter 35 – Eaten Clean

She revealed her head and kept coughing. “Cough, cough, cough…” She wiped her face to remove the water. “What are you doing?!” she said, a bit angry.

“I wanted to bathe with you.”

“You could’ve killed someone doing that! Do you even realize?!”

“I… I…” Ji Fuyu fiddled with her fingers. “Ah Yu was wrong, please don’t punish Ah Yu by making me copy texts again.”

Ye Lingxi sighed. “Forget it.” She swam to the shore. “Just don’t ever do that again.”

Ji Fuyu nodded. “Ah Yu understands.”

Is she always this easy to talk to when drunk?

“As long as you get it.” She shook the water off her body and wrung her clothes. “You stay here and wash properly. Come back when you don’t feel uncomfortable anymore.”

“Oh, okay.” Ji Fuyu just stared at Ye Lingxi as she left.

Ye Lingxi only wanted to hurry back and change her soaked clothes. Her whole body was dripping wet. She sneezed. “Ugh, am I catching a cold again?”

The system spirit cat saw her return like this and chuckled: “Host, are you two done? How did it feel?”

“What do you mean, ‘how did it feel’? It was awful.”

Spirit cat: “Ah, is her technique really that bad?”

Ye Lingxi suddenly realized what it meant. “What are you thinking again?! Get out of here!”

The system cat was kicked out by her. Looking back, it saw Ji Fuyu still soaking in the lake water. Wasn’t she cold?

Even though it wasn’t winter but autumn, soaking in cold water at night really took endurance. Not to mention, the lake water was even colder than underground spring water.

After changing clothes, Ye Lingxi felt much warmer. As she opened the door, she saw Ji Fuyu was still in the lake. Her eyes widened. “Bro, why are you still in there?”

Spirit cat: “Shouldn’t I be asking you that?”

Ye Lingxi: “…”

“Ask me what, exactly?” she rolled her eyes.

Spirit cat: “She was just with you. If not you, then who?”

Okay, that made some sense. But so what?

Ye Lingxi walked back to the lake and stared at Ji Fuyu standing there, shivering. As soon as Ji Fuyu saw her, she looked pitifully distressed.

“Staying here still feels uncomfortable.”

Ye Lingxi: “…”

“How is that possible?”

Normally, this would sober her up. Why was she still feeling uncomfortable?

“What exactly did you drink?” Ye Lingxi asked.

Ji Fuyu stammered: “This king doesn’t know…”

Ye Lingxi: “…”

You didn’t know and you still drank it? Aren’t you afraid of dying? Then again, she is a phoenix—how could she die? Damn these settings.

Why did the useless author give all the good scripts to others and not a single one to me? Always unlucky, I hate you, author.

Ji Fuyu tried to climb out. “This king doesn’t want to stay here anymore.” She charged forward and crashed into Ye Lingxi.

She knocked her over again.

Wuwuwu~ Author, you’re not human.

“This feels… comfortable.” She buried her face into Ye Lingxi’s neck.

Ye Lingxi turned her head away and pushed her off. “Get up.”

Damn it, I just changed clothes.

“Okay, let’s go to the room,” Ji Fuyu said.

Before Ye Lingxi could react, she was already picked up. “Wait, what are you trying to do?”

She didn’t respond, just lowered her head and smiled at her.

Ye Lingxi had a very bad feeling. “System! System, save me!”

Ji Fuyu glanced once and locked the system out. No matter what, it couldn’t get back in.

Ye Lingxi, desperate, grabbed onto whatever she could reach. “Help! Somebody help!” She didn’t even know what she was grabbing—she just held on for dear life, terrified of being violated.

Ji Fuyu pulled hard, and Ye Lingxi resisted with all her strength.

“Let go.”

“No!” Ye Lingxi gritted her teeth. “I’ll die before I let go—you let go first!”

Ji Fuyu scratched her gently, making Ye Lingxi burst out laughing. In that moment of weakness, she lost her grip.

It’s over.

Ye Lingxi was thrown onto the bed. She tried to run, but Ji Fuyu grabbed her ankle.

Ye Lingxi kicked her off. “Ji Fuyu, you’re drunk! You’re not thinking straight!”

She panted heavily. “No, this king is very clear-headed.”

Clear-headed, my ass!

Ye Lingxi tried to escape. Then she heard the sound of clothes being removed. “Wha—what are you doing?”

“Going to sleep,” Ji Fuyu stripped down.

Ye Lingxi thought she was crazy. Did she not realize what she looked like now?

“I… I don’t want to sleep right now.”

Ji Fuyu said, “That’s fine, we can do other things too.” At some point, she had already taken off her clothes. Only her braided hair brushed against Ye Lingxi’s nose, tickling her.

Her head was buried in Ye Lingxi’s chest. “You really smell good.”

Ye Lingxi: “…”

That must be your nose malfunctioning.

“Look carefully at who I am!”

Ji Fuyu closed her eyes, then opened them. “You’re Mingyue.” Her golden eyes wavered in front of Ye Lingxi. “Only you have this eye color in the world.”

Ye Lingxi: “…”

“Only she has it?” She touched her own eyes. “So that’s how it is.”

No, wait! This isn’t the time to discuss this. Not only is her nose broken, now even her precious eyesight has issues.

“I’m not her! You got the wrong person!” Ye Lingxi struggled.

Ji Fuyu: “No! You are her!” She gripped Ye Lingxi harder.

Ye Lingxi bit her lip in pain.

They couldn’t communicate at all.

“Fine, let me ask you this—if I was her, what exactly are you doing right now?”

Ji Fuyu shook her head. “Sleeping.”

Ye Lingxi: “…”

Who sleeps like this?!

“Do you have to lie on top of me to sleep?”

Ji Fuyu said, “It gives me a sense of security.”

Bullshit!

“And it’s very comfortable…”

“But I’m not comfortable at all!” Ye Lingxi blurted out her true feelings.

Ji Fuyu looked like a scolded child. “I made you uncomfortable?”

Ye Lingxi nodded. “Yes.”

“Ah Yu was wrong.”

She even stopped using “this king.” Looked like she had regressed to her younger self.

Ye Lingxi stroked her head. “Now that you know, what should you do?”

“Move.”

“Right.” Ye Lingxi finally thought she understood. But then Ji Fuyu said—

“But Ah Yu doesn’t want to.”

Ye Lingxi instantly turned to stone, then kicked her off. “Get the hell off me!”

Ji Fuyu fell awkwardly in her underclothes and cried out in pain.

Ye Lingxi finally felt free. She turned over. “Sleep on the floor. Don’t come back up.”

“I…”

“You’re not even listening to me now?” Ye Lingxi had run out of patience.

Ji Fuyu could only agree, aggrieved. “I understand.”

She thought she could finally sleep. Who would’ve thought, in the middle of the night, Ji Fuyu climbed back onto her bed.

“Ji Fuyu! What the hell do you want now?” Ye Lingxi was beyond frustrated.

Ji Fuyu said, “I want to hold you while I sleep. I can’t fall asleep otherwise.”

Ye Lingxi: “…”

She felt like she was being messed with. “Are you really still drunk or just pretending?”

Is this just an excuse to take advantage?

Ji Fuyu started to cry. Just when Ye Lingxi was about to hit her, she thought of what might happen once Ji Fuyu sobered up. So she gave in. “Fine, get up here. But no funny business.”

Ji Fuyu obediently replied, “Okay.”

So Ji Fuyu climbed back onto the bed.

It was dark, so Ye Lingxi couldn’t see clearly. She shifted slightly and accidentally pressed down on Ji Fuyu’s hand.

“Sorry!” Ye Lingxi apologized immediately. “I didn’t mean to.”

Ji Fuyu was fine at first, but once Ye Lingxi apologized, she started crying again.

Ye Lingxi: “…”

Enough already!

“There, there, don’t cry.” Ye Lingxi never imagined she’d be acting like a ‘mom’ to coax a drunken, crying girl. She placed her hand on her head. “Don’t cry, don’t cry.” She repeated it over and over.

Ji Fuyu finally calmed down a bit. Ye Lingxi held her close and gently patted her back. “Ah Yu, don’t cry. Ah Yu is the most obedient. Sleep, sleep… be a good girl and sleep…”

Ye Lingxi’s gentle coaxing helped Ji Fuyu fall asleep quickly.

This troublesome girl finally fell asleep. Ye Lingxi yawned and slowly closed her own eyes.

She had a dream. In the dream, Ji Fuyu devoured her completely—then killed her.

That scene scared Ye Lingxi half to death. Then she felt herself heating up. When she opened her eyes, her forehead was covered in sweat. Ji Fuyu was right on top of her. She blinked, thinking she was still dreaming. But when she moved—she felt pain.

Sh1t! It’s real!

I never should’ve believed that liar’s crap.

She grabbed Ji Fuyu’s arm. “You tricked me.”

“Hu—” Ji Fuyu didn’t respond, just immersed herself in enjoyment.

This time, she really had been eaten clean.
