After Transmigrating Into A Cannon Fodder Character, I Only Want To Survive (GL) - Chapter 13

Wu Mei shook her head, “No, it was Miss.”

Ji Yuning’s fingers stiffened.

Wu Mei didn’t notice Ji Yuning. She walked towards the stairs, saying to Ji Yuning as she walked, “Later, when your fever broke, Miss was a little dizzy. I guess it was because she had low bl00d sugar from not eating dinner, so I asked her to go back to her room to rest first.”

Wu Mei continued, “You woke up as soon as Miss left.”

Ji Yuning: “.”

So the person she vaguely saw was Fang Bai?

The two went upstairs.

Ji Yuning remained silent, continuing to walk upstairs.

At this moment, Ji Yuning’s mind was full of doubts. Even if Wu Mei’s words were flawless, she couldn’t imagine what Fang Bai was like when she took care of her.

The moment she stepped on the stairs, Ji Yuning was pulled by Wu Mei.

Ji Yuning came back to her senses and looked at Wu Mei, only to hear Wu Mei ask, “Xiao Ji, do you want to live on the second floor? I’ve already cleaned up the side bedroom.”

“Me living on the second floor?”

Wu Mei smiled, “Yes, Miss said that if you want to live there, you can live on the second floor.”

Ji Yuning paused, then shook her head, “Aunt Wu, I’ll still live in the attic.”

“Okay then.” Wu Mei didn’t insist, carrying the bags upstairs.

Seeing Wu Mei carrying so many things, to prevent Wu Mei from tripping, Ji Yuning followed closely behind Wu Mei, protecting her.

But Ji Yuning had another question in her mind. Why would Fang Bai suddenly ask her to live on the second floor?

Upstairs, Wu Mei stood in front of the door and turned to Ji Yuning, “Xiao Ji, you open the door.”

Ji Yuning thought Wu Mei couldn’t spare a hand, so she asked her to open the door, hummed, and then shook off the mess in her mind, walking forward to turn the doorknob.

To say that the conditions in the attic were poor, it was all caused by later. When decorating, Fang Bai didn’t skimp on the attic’s decoration. The door was very beautiful. Ji Yuning often glanced at the door, and thought of the mismatched scene behind the door, deeply understanding what it meant to be gold and jade on the outside, but rotten cotton on the inside.

But at this moment, Ji Yuning looked at the unfamiliar things in the room, and her usually expressionless face flashed with surprise.

Her eyebrows couldn’t help but furrow.

Then Wu Mei’s smiling voice rang in her ears, “How is it, Xiao Ji? Do you like it?”

The cardboard boxes piled up in the attic were gone, and after living there for three years, Ji Yuning saw the full view of the room for the first time. It wasn’t big, but it was more than enough for one person to live in.

The room was filled with pink, the gray walls were covered with pink wallpaper, the small windows were enlarged twice, and sunlight filled the room, illuminating all but a few dead corners.

There were two layers of gauze curtains, which swayed like a dream.

In the middle of the room was a huge double bed, and the washed-out sheets and quilt were replaced with pink Hello Kitty patterns…

The pattern was exactly the same as the piece of clothing Fang Bai picked up in the mall.

This was not her room.

How could such a clean place belong to her?

Ji Yuning thought about retreating, but Wu Mei behind her blocked her way.

Wu Mei assumed Ji Yuning was just too happy, pushed Ji Yuning into the room, and said, “Miss knew you wouldn’t live on the second floor, so she not only asked me to clear out the room on the second floor, but also hired workers to clean up the attic.”

Fang Bai hired people to clean it?

Right, in this villa, who else but Fang Bai would change this attic?

Ji Yuning’s legs felt like they were filled with lead, and she couldn’t move.

Wu Mei put the things she was carrying on the sofa against the wall. That was where the bed used to be, but now it was a rest area with a sofa, coffee table, and a small bookshelf.

Wu Mei took the bags from Ji Yuning and asked, “Xiao Ji, should I help you unpack these, or will you do it yourself?”

Ji Yuning didn’t answer, but asked, “Where are the things from my room?”

“Oh.” Wu Mei thought for a moment and pointed to a corner, “They’re all in that corner. I was going to help you organize them, but Miss said she wanted you to handle it yourself when you got back.”

Ji Yuning looked in the direction Wu Mei pointed. The view was blocked by a wardrobe. Ji Yuning licked her slightly dry lips and took two steps towards the corner.

Three old cardboard boxes stood there, contrasting sharply with everything new in the room.

Wu Mei had lived for decades, and even if she was honest, she could tell that Ji Yuning was acting strangely.

She sighed silently, fidgeted with her clothes, walked to Ji Yuning, and said, “Xiao Ji, I know you might not be able to accept it right now, but you should be able to see that Miss has really changed. She changed after you had that fever.”

Ji Yuning glanced at Wu Mei.

Wu Mei said, “Maybe Miss figured it out herself and decided not to make things difficult for you anymore. Look, from last time until now, Miss not only increased your living expenses, but also bought you clothes, and changed your living space. She’s taking care of your basic needs.”

Wu Mei knew she wasn’t qualified to say such things, but she didn’t know how long Fang Bai’s kindness would last. In the current situation, she could only advise Ji Yuning to enjoy the time Fang Bai was being nice to her, otherwise Fang Bai would revert to her old self…

“Xiao Ji, have you considered trying to get along with Miss?”

Wu Mei used the word “get along,” not “forgive.”

Ji Yuning turned to Wu Mei and said, “Aunt Wu, you…”

Wu Mei didn’t know why she said those things. Maybe it was because she knew Ji Yuning was stubborn and worried that she wouldn’t accept Miss’s changes…

An awkward expression flashed across Wu Mei’s face. She didn’t know how to face Ji Yuning and said quickly, “I have something to discuss with Miss. I’ll come back later to help you unpack.”

After speaking, Wu Mei quickly left the room.

Leaving Ji Yuning alone, standing there.

Shortly after Wu Mei left, Ji Yuning walked to the three cardboard boxes and slowly placed her hand on them.

Opening them, the old things from her previous room came into view.

A few days ago, they were proof of her efforts to survive in this world, but when they were stuffed into old cardboard boxes, they became worthless.

Just like her.

The knocking on the door interrupted Ji Yuning’s thoughts.

Ji Yuning thought it was Wu Mei knocking, but when she opened the door and saw Fang Bai in a sapphire blue silk pajamas, Ji Yuning’s hand gripping the doorknob tightened involuntarily.

The silk pajamas weren’t tight, but Fang Bai’s slender figure was still clearly outlined.

Fang Bai’s first thing to do after going upstairs was to wash off the hot pot smell from her body. After taking a shower, she put on a random pair of pajamas because she was thinking about taking a nap.

While drying her hair, Wu Mei told her that Ji Yuning would still live in the attic, not the room on the second floor. Although Fang Bai had expected this, she still wanted to go upstairs to take a look.

As a result, Fang Bai didn’t finish drying her hair, which was still half-wet.

Ji Yuning looked at a strand of hair clinging to Fang Bai’s neck, alluring and lingering.

Ji Yuning said in a low voice, “Aunt Fang.”

Fang Bai nodded. Her voice was soft, as if she was afraid of scaring Ji Yuning. She asked, “I remodeled your room. A princess room. Do you like it?”

Fang Bai felt a little itchy on her neck, raised her finger to remove the strand of hair, and continued, “If you don’t like it, you can tell me. I’ll have someone remodel it again when you go to school this week.”

As Fang Bai moved, Ji Yuning slowly moved her gaze and looked up at Fang Bai’s eyes.

“No need…” Ji Yuning paused, as if she was thinking about Fang Bai’s previous question. After thinking about it, her voice caught in her throat, and she said, “It’s fine like this.”

Fang Bai raised her eyebrows, “So you like it?”

“…Mm.”

“I’m glad you like it. It was worth all the effort I put into decorating it for you these past few days.”

Fang Bai deliberately made her words clear, wanting Ji Yuning to know her sincerity.

Obviously, Ji Yuning understood the meaning of her words, because Fang Bai saw a very obvious change in Ji Yuning’s eyes.

Fang Bai acted as if she didn’t see anything and chuckled, “Can I come in?”

Ji Yuning looked at Fang Bai’s questioning eyes, thinking, “Was Fang Bai this polite the last time she came into her room?”

The answer was no.

Ji Yuning still remembered Fang Bai’s hand blocking the door that time, and remembered what Fang Bai said and did in the room, which caused her fever…

While Ji Yuning was thinking about these things, Fang Bai had already entered the room.

Ji Yuning’s eyes flickered slightly, thinking that politeness was indeed just an act.

“Aunt Wu said that you took care of me when I had a fever last weekend.”

Looking at Fang Bai’s back, Ji Yuning asked again, unwilling to give up, as if she could get a different answer from Fang Bai and resolve her confusion.

Before leaving home this morning, the room had not been cleaned up, so Fang Bai didn’t know what it looked like after everything was decorated. Now, looking around, the placement of the furniture was flawless, and Fang Bai nodded in satisfaction.

Hearing Ji Yuning’s words, Fang Bai nodded again, “Yes.”

Ji Yuning lowered her eyes.

The answer was different from what she expected.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet.

Fang Bai had a vague understanding of Ji Yuning’s thoughts. She could guess a little.

If Ji Yuning didn’t speak, then she had to.

“Speaking of which, your high fever was because of me. It’s only right that I took care of you.”

Fang Bai suddenly realized that she couldn’t take all the blame, otherwise she would only push Ji Yuning away.

Fang Bai coughed and said lazily, “Of course, the main reason was that you didn’t listen to me. I told you not to shower, but you insisted on washing, which caused your wound to get infected and led to the high fever.”

Fang Bai put her hands on her hips. After speaking, she turned to look at Ji Yuning, only to see the girl turn her head away, her face slightly awkward.

After a few seconds, the girl seemed to have figured something out, or perhaps she had made a compromise, and turned to look at Fang Bai.

The ferocity in Ji Yuning’s eyes had lessened, and her dark pupils were bright, finally showing the vitality of someone her age.

Fang Bai had already guessed what Ji Yuning was going to do. She waited for nearly a minute, and when Ji Yuning still didn’t seem to want to speak, she smiled and said to Ji Yuning, “You’re welcome.”

Ji Yuning: “…”

The “thank you” stuck in her throat was swallowed just like that.

Fang Bai: A princess room! Are you satisfied?!

Adult Ji: I’d rather it be a bridal chamber, hmph (?).
