After Transmigrating Into A Cannon Fodder Character, I Only Want To Survive (GL) - Chapter 1

As the truck came head-on, Fang Bai happened to look up.

The piercing sound of the horn rang out, and Fang Bai watched the taxi driver frantically turn the steering wheel, trying to escape, but to no avail.

Death… was only a moment away.

The next second.

Fang Bai felt her feet leave the ground.

Fang Bai slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw the light under the window, she closed her eyes again.

People wake up from nightmares and have a brief moment of absent-mindedness.

As her consciousness returned, Fang Bai’s tense nerves relaxed.

Thankfully, it was a dream, and there was no real car accident.

However, the dream was too real, and Fang Bai felt as if she had really died.

Before Fang Bai could breathe a sigh of relief, a woman’s voice suddenly sounded in her ear, “Miss, would you like some water?”

Fang Bai’s tongue swept across her slightly dry lips, and she subconsciously replied, “Yes, thank you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Fang Bai suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the woman’s back as she poured water.

Her mind went blank for two seconds.

Who is she?

Miss?

Where is this?

Only then did Fang Bai realize that the surrounding environment was not familiar to her. She looked at the window she had seen at first glance, not in the dormitory, nor at home. The decoration was luxurious.

…Car accident.

In an instant, a memory that didn’t belong to her filled Fang Bai’s mind.

Strange yet familiar.

The reason for the familiarity was… she had seen most of it.

Yes, seen.

A few days ago, Fang Bai, to relieve the pressure of her thesis, randomly found a novel, an old-fashioned yuri story.

It was a story about the female lead gong (dominant) and the female lead shou (submissive) who met in high school, fell in love with each other, but were separated after going to college due to family reasons, and then reunited many years later in a wealthy romance.

The novel was a very common trope story, where the female lead gong suffered abuse when she was young, and the female lead shou became the solace of her dark life, the only ray of light to warm the iceberg.

And the person who created the female lead gong’s dark life was the cannon fodder who appeared only a few times in the story.

The memory that had just been transmitted to Fang Bai was exactly the same as what the cannon fodder in the story had done.

Fang Bai instantly woke up.

She had transmigrated into the book and even became the cannon fodder with the same name.

The reason why the original owner was cannon fodder was entirely her own doing.

The book was from the gong’s perspective, and the female lead gong was called Ji Yuning.

Before Ji Yuning’s mother passed away, she placed Ji Yuning in the original owner’s home and gave the original owner a large sum of money for fostering.

After Ji Yuning’s mother passed away, the original owner did not treat Ji Yuning as promised. Instead, she treated Ji Yuning as her servant, venting all her frustrations in life on Ji Yuning.

This was all due to the original owner’s jealousy of Ji Yuning’s mother.

Ji Yuning’s dark and sinister mentality was partly due to the original owner.

Ji Yuning had tried to escape this home in the early stages, but each time she was found by the original owner, resulting in even worse abuse. After a while, Ji Yuning had to give up on escaping.

Since then, Ji Yuning had never resisted the original owner.

It wasn’t because she was afraid of the original owner, but from that day on, in Ji Yuning’s heart, the original owner was already a dead person.

How could a living person argue with a dead person?

The original owner’s miserable ending was defined by Ji Yuning from that moment on.

As Fang Bai was thinking, the woman came to her with a water glass, interrupting her thoughts, “Miss, drink your water.”

Fang Bai glanced at the woman. Her name was Wu Mei, and she had been the housekeeper in the original owner’s house for five years.

She was honest and kind-hearted, and after each abuse, she would help the female lead behind the original owner’s back. However, that was all she did. Although she couldn’t bear to see the original owner’s actions, she never spoke out to stop them.

Fang Bai took the water glass, and this time drinking water was not to moisten her lips, but to calm her nerves.

How did she… transmigrate into a book?

And she became the female lead’s enemy…

Just as Fang Bai took a sip of water, the sound of footsteps, neither light nor heavy, came from the stairs opposite the sofa.

Fang Bai paused for a second. In the original owner’s house, besides her and Wu Mei, there was only… the female lead.

The footsteps got closer and closer, and after coming down the stairs, they didn’t stop, but went straight past the sofa.

Fang Bai glanced over and only saw a thin back, somewhat sickly thin, probably due to long-term malnutrition.

Short sleeves and long pants, the girl’s arms exposed to the air had no excess flesh, her elbow bones were particularly prominent, and there were several obvious blue marks on her arms.

The girl had a ponytail, the ends slightly curled, and the braid swayed slightly from side to side as she walked.

“Ji Yuning,” Fang Bai tried to call out.

Wu Mei, standing aside, tensed up, wondering how her young lady would make things difficult for Xiao Ji again.

Ten minutes ago at the dining table, Ji Yuning had upset the young lady, and the young lady had casually picked up the rolling pin she used to roll dough and hit her.

She had hit her four or five times, and Ji Yuning hadn’t made a sound. After hitting her, the young lady had thrown away the rolling pin and went to rest on the sofa.

Ji Yuning’s dark clothes were covered in flour, so Wu Mei had told Ji Yuning to go upstairs and change clothes.

Could it be that changing clothes had upset the young lady?

Wu Mei licked her lips, and after hesitating, she said, “Miss, I told Xiao Ji to change clothes.”

Wu Mei didn’t know if her words would reduce Fang Bai’s anger.

It probably wouldn’t.

Wu Mei sighed silently, she was also helpless.

“…”

Fang Bai knew about the incident of hitting Ji Yuning with a stick, it was in the memory that had just been transmitted to her.

The picture was very clear, VIP exclusive 1080P.

Fang Bai felt like she was playing a somatosensory game, and she was the one who hit Ji Yuning with the rolling pin.

Thinking of the original owner’s final ending, Fang Bai felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

She hated that the original owner was too heavy-handed.

She hated why she didn’t come ten minutes earlier?

The original owner was the one who hit people, but she would be the one to endure Ji Yuning’s torment.

Hearing the person on the sofa call her name, Ji Yuning only paused for a moment before turning around.

The place on her back where she had been hit with the stick was still aching, and Ji Yuning carefully pulled at it when she turned around.

Although it hurt, Ji Yuning didn’t show any pain.

Fang Bai saw the ruthlessness in Ji Yuning’s eyes at a glance, and her throat felt inexplicably itchy.

She was really scared.

However, the fear subsided when she saw Ji Yuning’s still childish face.

In fact, when she was reading the novel, Fang Bai had imagined Ji Yuning’s appearance:

Narrow eyes with slightly raised tails, like a fox’s eyes, but in reality, Ji Yuning’s eyes were rounder. If it weren’t for the dark and unclear emotions in her eyes, a pair of apricot eyes would be very gentle and lovely.

If the original owner had been a good person, would there be less of the bone-chilling coldness in Ji Yuning’s eyes?

Fang Bai was just thinking about it, she knew there were no ifs.

Fang Bai’s eyes moved down.

She had imagined that Ji Yuning’s lips were very thin, but now Ji Yuning’s lips were pursed into a line, and Fang Bai couldn’t tell anything.

Ji Yuning couldn’t wait for the person on the sofa to speak, and she lowered her eyes and called out, “Miss Fang.”

This was the way the original owner had stipulated she should be called.

When Ji Yuning first arrived here, she still called the original owner Aunt Fang. When she was dragged by the original owner’s hair and thrown to the ground, she heard the original owner say, “What did you call me? Aunt? I’m only twenty-two, do you think I’m as old as your mother? Call me Miss from now on.”

Ji Yuning’s voice interrupted Fang Bai’s thoughts, and she quickly glanced at Ji Yuning’s appearance and turned her head.

Fang Bai was thinking about Ji Yuning’s age.

Ji Yuning was 13 years old when she was sent to the original owner’s house, and now… Fang Bai adjusted the original owner’s memory, Ji Yuning had been in the original owner’s house for three years, and had been abused by the original owner for three years.

Now Ji Yuning is 16, so…

There are still two years until Ji Yuning turns 18.

…There are still two years until the original owner’s death.

In other words… she only has two years left.

Fang Bai’s eyelashes trembled, and thousands of thoughts flooded her mind.

Run?

Escape from Ji Yuning’s side?

As soon as this idea arose, Fang Bai suppressed it.

Even if she escaped from Ji Yuning now, she would still be found by Ji Yuning two years later, and the result might be even worse than the original owner’s.

The only way to save her life now was to treat Ji Yuning well and eliminate the hatred that Ji Yuning had accumulated towards the original owner.

But she couldn’t be too obvious about treating Ji Yuning well, a sudden change would arouse suspicion.

She could only take it slowly.

Having thought of a temporary solution, Fang Bai said in a light voice, “What are you going to do?”

A trace of coldness flashed under Ji Yuning’s eyes. The person in front of her was clearly asking knowingly, which was clearly a kind of humiliation to her. “Wash the dishes.”

There was a dishwasher in the kitchen.

But the original owner used the excuse of saving electricity and never let Ji Yuning use it, always making Ji Yuning wash them by hand.

If it weren’t for the original owner thinking that even a dog wouldn’t eat the food Ji Yuning made, she might have arranged for Ji Yuning to cook as well.

Ji Yuning looked at Fang Bai, her eyes without any emotion, as if the hatred in her eyes just now was Fang Bai’s misperception.

Fang Bai nodded, her eyes sweeping over the female lead’s curled hands. After a few seconds, she frowned, “Isn’t there a performance at school next week?”

This was not something Ji Yuning had told the original owner, but a phone call from the class teacher to the original owner.

Ji Yuning didn’t want to participate in the activity, so the class teacher had to call her guardian and ask her to persuade her.

The class teacher was new, and she didn’t know Ji Yuning’s situation.

After receiving the call, the original owner, perhaps out of jealousy of Ji Yuning, or some unknown mentality, directly called Ji Yuning in front of her, verbally humiliated her, and finally made Ji Yuning agree to perform on stage.

Ji Yuning: “…Yes.”

Fang Bai continued to ask, “Have you practiced the sheet music?”

Certainly not.

The original owner wanted to see Ji Yuning make a fool of herself.

She knew that Ji Yuning’s piano was taught by the female lead’s mother. As long as Ji Yuning embarrassed herself, the woman’s face would be lost too.

Since then, the original owner hadn’t left Ji Yuning any free time, constantly ordering Ji Yuning to do this and that.

Where would she have time to practice the piano?

“?”

Ji Yuning didn’t speak. She was wary of Fang Bai’s sudden concern…

Or rather, not concern, but Ji Yuning became vigilant at Fang Bai’s sudden inquiry.

Not getting a response, Fang Bai put her hand on the sofa, her fingers casually gesturing, and said, “Go play it for me.”

The piano was in the hall.

The original owner would play it when she had nothing to do.

Ji Yuning had been here for three years, and apart from dusting the piano, she hadn’t touched it.

The original owner rarely let Ji Yuning touch her things.

Hearing Fang Bai’s words, both Ji Yuning and Wu Mei were stunned.

Ji Yuning quickly came back to her senses.

Under Fang Bai’s gaze, Ji Yuning only paused for a few seconds before walking to the piano and sitting down gracefully.

Ji Yuning’s ten fingers were steadily placed on the keys, slender and long, very suitable for playing the piano.

However, the band-aids on the back of her hands somewhat affected the aesthetics.

After going over the sheet music in her mind, a few seconds later, Ji Yuning pressed her fingers down and played the first note.

Ji Yuning had memorized the seven-minute sheet music.

But even if she remembered it well, she hadn’t played it many times, and her hands were very rusty. Some places were not very coordinated, and Ji Yuning even deliberately played a few places wrong.

While Ji Yuning was playing the piano, Fang Bai, who didn’t understand music at all, listened with relish.

She couldn’t evaluate anything, she just thought that Ji Yuning played very well, only a few places sounded abrupt, but it didn’t affect the overall effect.

However, when Ji Yuning finished playing and looked up at her, the expression on Fang Bai’s face instantly returned to normal. She said listlessly, imitating the original owner’s tone, “And your class teacher still wants you to perform on stage like this?”

After speaking, Fang Bai didn’t give Ji Yuning a look, but turned her head and called out, “Sister Wu.”

Wu Mei replied, “Miss.”

“You go wash the dishes,” Fang Bai paused and said, “You can use the dishwasher.”

Wu Mei nodded, then looked at Ji Yuning, and asked with some concern, “What about Xiao Ji?”

She was afraid that the young lady would ask Ji Yuning to do other things.

“Practice the piano,” Fang Bai looked at Ji Yuning, maintaining the original owner’s tone, “Playing so badly, don’t you want to practice properly?”

Fang Bai took a sip of water, playing the original owner’s tricky and mean character to the fullest, “Otherwise, after performing on stage, it will be my face that’s lost.”

Ji Yuning lowered her eyes, hiding the coldness in her eyes, “I understand.”

She knew that the woman’s sudden request for her to play the piano was not a good thing.

Ji Yuning knew the original owner’s original intention. Although she didn’t know why the woman had changed her mind, practicing the piano was not bad, at least…

The wounds on her hands wouldn’t get wet.
