After Transmigrating Into A Cannon Fodder Character, I Only Want To Survive (GL) - Chapter 3

Hearing Ji Yuning’s greeting, Fang Bai nodded slightly, “Mm.”

A very ordinary reaction, but it seemed a bit strange on Fang Bai, after all, the original owner had never treated Ji Yuning with such calm emotions.

Ji Yuning lowered her head after opening the door, so she didn’t notice the woman’s abnormality.

Ji Yuning rarely looked directly at the woman.

Firstly, it was because of disgust and loathing, and secondly, every time she met the woman’s gaze, it was like turning on a switch for the woman, all the harsh words would pour out of her mouth, and then Ji Yuning would inevitably get a beating.

The wounds on Ji Yuning’s body were still aching, and if she got another beating, she might not be able to go to school tomorrow.

This was something Ji Yuning didn’t want.

Only by going to school could she avoid seeing Fang Bai.

Ji Yuning boarded at school, and she could have five days of what could be called living in a week. Although the wounds that healed in those five days would be aggravated in the remaining two days, leaving her like a walking corpse.

Ji Yuning pretended to be weak and afraid, lowering her head, and Fang Bai just looked at the top of her hair, sighing in her heart.

Ji Yuning stood straight, the aura around her was completely devoid of the humble and timid act she was putting on, but instead was like a hungry wolf lurking in the dark, waiting to attack.

It was just that now, it was just a young wolf cub that hadn’t grown up yet.

Because her head was lowered, Ji Yuning saw something in Fang Bai’s hand at a glance, a white plastic cylinder.

What? Not satisfied with the rolling pin, changed weapons? But just to hit her with this? Could it be…

Ji Yuning looked again and found that the white cylinder looked like a medicine bottle.

Fang Bai stared at the braid on Ji Yuning’s head for two seconds, then raised her hand and spread it out in front of Ji Yuning, “Sister Wu had something to do and went out, I’ll bring you the medicine.”

The thing was displayed in front of Ji Yuning as Fang Bai opened her hand.

It was a spray bottle, for treating bruises.

Ji Yuning’s thick eyelashes trembled, and she raised her head, certain in her heart that the woman was going to start a new game.

Give medicine after hitting someone? Isn’t that like giving a candy after slapping someone?

It was just that Ji Yuning couldn’t figure out what game the woman was playing yet.

But since she wanted to play, she could only accompany her to the end, as a “gift” to repay the woman for raising her.

Ji Yuning pursed her lips, took the spray bottle from Fang Bai’s hand, and said in a low voice, “Thank you, Miss Fang.”

The low thanks sounded like a compromise to the enemy, or like willingly acting as a slave after defeat…

All illusions.

Fang Bai thought of a description in the book:

—After Ji Yuning experienced Fang Bai’s abuse again, her attitude changed to 180 degrees. She no longer went against Fang Bai, she didn’t argue back, and she didn’t make a sound when Fang Bai hit her, never resisting.

—Fang Bai thought she had finally trampled Ji Yuning’s self-esteem under her feet, making the person in front of her truly a punching bag. But Fang Bai didn’t know that every time she abused her, the price was her dwindling life. Ji Yuning was just playing this game with her life as a bet. If Ji Yuning wasn’t played to death by Fang Bai, then the ending would be reversed.

“…”

Fang Bai narrowed her eyebrows and calmly retracted her hand, “You’re welcome.”

Seemingly surprised that Fang Bai would reply to her thanks, Ji Yuning raised her head.

The moment their eyes met, Fang Bai’s lips curled into a faint smile.

Meeting Fang Bai’s smiling eyes, Ji Yuning suddenly felt bored. She closed the door, wanting to block Fang Bai’s sight.

Even if she got beaten up by Fang Bai, it didn’t matter, it was much better than being stared at by Fang Bai with strange eyes.

Just as the door was about to close, and Ji Yuning was wondering why the woman hadn’t scolded her yet, a hand suddenly grabbed the door frame when there was less than ten centimeters left.

Looking at the smooth, rounded fingertips on the door, which were slightly white from the force, a thought arose in Ji Yuning’s mind: if she closed the door now, would this hand be crippled? Unable to play the piano anymore?

The thought in her mind grew stronger and stronger, and Ji Yuning thought this method was awesome.

She knew how much the woman liked to play the piano, and playing a good piano was something the woman often bragged about.

If she ruined her hand, would she rather die than live? Even if she was beaten to death by the woman, Ji Yuning thought, she would probably close her eyes with a smile.

Before Ji Yuning could do anything, the door was pushed open from the outside.

“What are you doing closing the door?” Fang Bai asked.

Looking at the wide open door, regret and disappointment flashed across Ji Yuning’s eyes, regretting that she was too slow.

Hearing Fang Bai’s question, Ji Yuning hid her previous thoughts and replied, “Applying medicine.”

Fang Bai oh-ed, “Let me in.”

As she spoke, Fang Bai’s eyes skipped over Ji Yuning and fell on the room behind Ji Yuning.

When reading the novel, Fang Bai was curious about the attic where Ji Yuning lived. Although it was written in the book that the attic was narrow and shabby, it was very clean after being tidied up by Ji Yuning.

But now, Fang Bai only saw piles of boxes.

Ji Yuning stood at the door, holding the door frame, with no intention of moving.

Previously, Fang Bai never stepped into the attic, and of course Ji Yuning didn’t want Fang Bai to step into this territory.

She thought Fang Bai would pollute the room.

If Fang Bai entered, then there would be no place in this villa where she could stay.

But reality didn’t go as Ji Yuning wished.

Fang Bai took a step forward, only half a step away from Ji Yuning.

At this time, Fang Bai was still filled with the original owner’s pungent perfume, and after Ji Yuning smelled this scent, it would pull her into an endless nightmare, a painful, nauseating abuse.

Ji Yuning’s back felt slightly cold, and she couldn’t help but take a step back. It was also this subconscious reaction that left the door unguarded.

Without Ji Yuning’s obstruction, Fang Bai easily stepped into the room.

The decoration in the room was clear at a glance: washed-out sheets and quilt covers, cardboard boxes serving as bedside tables, no extra decorations…

It was indeed very clean.

Fang Bai glanced around, and after satisfying her curiosity, she turned around, ignoring the undisguised disgust in Ji Yuning’s eyes, and asked softly, “Do you want to apply the medicine yourself, or should I help you?”

Looking at the room was curiosity, entering the room was to help Ji Yuning apply the medicine.

Ji Yuning’s injuries were all on her back, and it was difficult for her to apply it all by herself.

Ji Yuning: “.”

“Don’t talk?” Fang Bai pretended to be surprised, “Then that means you want me to help you?”

Ji Yuning clenched the medicine bottle tightly, the bottle was squeezed a little flat.

Ji Yuning: “…I’ll do it myself.”

As she spoke, Ji Yuning held the medicine bottle in front of her eyes and tore off the packaging.

And then…

There was no then.

Ji Yuning stood there after unscrewing the packaging, staring at Fang Bai with wide eyes.

Ji Yuning was waiting for Fang Bai to leave.

Fang Bai wanted to see Ji Yuning’s injuries. After waiting for a minute and seeing that Ji Yuning didn’t move, she frowned slightly, “What’s wrong?”

Ji Yuning opened her mouth, her voice hoarse, “Miss Fang, aren’t you going out?”

“I just came in, why should I go out?”

Ji Yuning’s eyes flashed, and a hint of sarcasm rose from the bottom of her eyes: “…Does Miss Fang want to admire her own work?”

Fang Bai’s pupils shrank slightly, and she understood in an instant that the “work” Ji Yuning was talking about referred to the wounds the original owner had left on Ji Yuning.

Fang Bai moved her eyes elsewhere. There was nothing else in the room besides cardboard boxes that Fang Bai could stare at. Helplessly, Fang Bai looked back at Ji Yuning and said awkwardly, “You can think of it that way.”

To prove that what she said was true, Fang Bai took a step back and said, “Start.”

Ji Yuning still didn’t move.

Fang Bai asked softly, “Are you scared?”

Fang Bai asked this from the bottom of her heart.

When Fang Bai took a step back and accidentally bumped into a cardboard box, Fang Bai suddenly realized that Ji Yuning had just been beaten by the original owner, how could she accept applying medicine in front of her?

Thinking of this, Fang Bai prepared to wait for Wu Mei to come back and let her apply the medicine for Ji Yuning, and then she could ask Wu Mei about Ji Yuning’s injuries, right?

Just as Fang Bai moved her foot to leave the room, Ji Yuning withdrew her gaze from Fang Bai and took off her clothes without hesitation.

A young child full of resentment, a rhetorical question was enough to arouse her rebellion and bravado.

Fang Bai’s question, in Ji Yuning’s view, was a blatant provocation.

After taking off her clothes, Ji Yuning ignored Fang Bai and turned around to apply the medicine herself.

Fortunately, it was spray medicine, just spray it twice on the bruised area, which was much easier to use than ointment.

“Pss…”

After applying the medicine, Ji Yuning prepared to put on her clothes. She didn’t forget that there was someone else in the room.

So she turned her back to Fang Bai and shrank into a corner.

Only a beam of light shone on the corner, but Fang Bai still used the dim light to see Ji Yuning’s back clearly.

Scratches, nail marks, all kinds of scars, the purple bruises under her bra clasp were shocking.

“Wu Mei said there’s another medicine, did you apply it?”

Ji Yuning didn’t speak, she looked at the ointment she had placed on the box beside her.

Fang Bai followed her gaze.

Fang Bai picked up the ointment and said to Ji Yuning, “Don’t put on your clothes yet, I’ll help you apply this.”

“No…”

Fang Bai interrupted Ji Yuning, threatening, “You know the consequences of refusing me.”

This threat, compared to the original owner’s constant cursing, had no effect at all.

However, Ji Yuning compromised after hearing it. She wanted to see what Fang Bai was going to do.

Fang Bai unscrewed the ointment cap, and Ji Yuning cooperated and turned around.

This time, Fang Bai saw the wounds more clearly.

She began to feel sorry for this child.

The cold ointment and the warm temperature of her fingers met, and as Fang Bai’s fingertips moved over the wounds, the slippery touch made Ji Yuning shrink her body involuntarily.

Fang Bai didn’t notice Ji Yuning’s abnormality, her attention was all on Ji Yuning’s scars.

When her fingertips slid over the scars, the original owner’s harm to Ji Yuning was amplified in Fang Bai’s mind, and she also knew how difficult it would be for her to make Ji Yuning let go of these harms.

The medicine was applied quickly.

Fang Bai patted Ji Yuning’s shoulder with her other hand and said softly, “Done.”

After applying the medicine for Ji Yuning, Fang Bai’s task was completed. She didn’t linger and left the room after saying to rest well.

After Fang Bai left, Ji Yuning looked at herself in the mirror, pulled out a few pieces of paper, and tried to wipe off the coldness on her back.

Because she desperately wanted to wipe it clean, Ji Yuning’s arms were twisted into a strange posture.

Fang Bai, who had returned, saw this scene. Not knowing whether she was amused by Ji Yuning’s posture or something else, Fang Bai couldn’t help but curl her lips.

After waiting for a while and seeing that Ji Yuning hadn’t noticed her, Fang Bai suppressed her laughter and asked in a lazy tone, “What are you doing?”

The sudden sound made Ji Yuning pause.

Having been discovered by the woman, Ji Yuning naturally lowered her arms.

Going against the woman’s wishes, she didn’t know how the woman would punish her. Would she not let her eat? Or would she make her run barefoot on the pebbles in the yard?

It shouldn’t be that simple, after all, the woman did these things when she first arrived.

With the woman’s current state of madness, she would probably break her arms, right? Left or right? Or all of them?

Before Ji Yuning could figure out the answer, she saw Fang Bai put the ointment on the box by the door and said softly before turning to leave, “If you can’t wipe it clean with paper, why not take a shower?”

After Fang Bai finished speaking, she was afraid that Ji Yuning would really take a shower, so she added, “But showering will cause the wounds to become inflamed, I advise you to behave.”

Looking at the woman’s back, Ji Yuning’s eyes darkened.

After leaving Ji Yuning’s room, Fang Bai returned to the original owner’s room.

The original owner had the habit of taking a nap, and Fang Bai hadn’t adapted to this body yet. In fact, she was a little sleepy when she was in Ji Yuning’s room.

Back in her room, Fang Bai slept until the evening, when Wu Mei knocked on the door to tell her to have dinner.

After calling Fang Bai, Wu Mei was about to follow Fang Bai downstairs. After taking two steps, she was stopped by Fang Bai, who asked her to call Ji Yuning.

As soon as Fang Bai sat at the dining table, she was told by Wu Mei, who hurried downstairs, that Ji Yuning had a fever.

Her temperature was very high, and she was already delirious.

When the doctor came, he diagnosed that the fever was caused by the wound becoming inflamed from getting wet. Fang Bai came to a realization:

Ji Yuning wouldn’t be obedient.

Author’s Note:

Fang: What to do if the child is disobedient? Angry.

Ji: Wuwuwu?
