After Transmigrating Into A Cannon Fodder Character, I Only Want To Survive (GL) - Chapter 5
After removing the needle, Fang Bai wanted to use the hand holding Ji Yuning’s to press the medical tape, but before Fang Bai could pull it out of Ji Yuning’s hand, that hand was tightly grasped by Ji Yuning.
Fang Bai looked up at Ji Yuning, seeing the other person’s tightly furrowed brows.
After retracting her gaze, Fang Bai didn’t try to pull her hand out again, but let Ji Yuning hold it.
In the end, Fang Bai had to use a strange posture, using her other hand to press the injection site.
The room fell silent, with only Ji Yuning’s shallow breathing.
Fang Bai stared at Ji Yuning’s profile, which was sunk in the soft pillow, thinking that she knew she was stubborn from reading the book, why did she deliberately provoke her?
Fang Bai blamed herself for Ji Yuning’s fever, most of which was caused by her.
But the book actually mentioned that Ji Yuning would get this illness.
Wu Mei discovered Ji Yuning’s fever, but the original owner didn’t care much, and Wu Mei could only secretly buy antipyretics for Ji Yuning.
In the end, Ji Yuning lay in the attic for three days before recovering, which caused her to have sequelae, often recurring in the later chapters.
Fortunately, this time… she arrived in time.
A minute later, Ji Yuning’s grip on Fang Bai’s hand loosened.
Fang Bai took the opportunity to pull out her hand, tore off the tape on the back of Ji Yuning’s hand, and tucked Ji Yuning’s hand back into the quilt.
Fang Bai leaned down, her hand on Ji Yuning’s forehead, the temperature had dropped a lot, and there should be no major problem.
Her gaze moved down from Ji Yuning’s forehead, and she saw that Ji Yuning’s lips were so dry that they were peeling.
The sound of the door opening and Wu Mei’s voice came from behind, “Miss, go back to your room, I’ll watch here.”
Fang Bai turned around and whispered, “Sister Wu, didn’t you go to rest?”
“You haven’t rested yet, how can I sleep?” Wu Mei said softly.
Fang Bai’s lips curled slightly, “Thank you.”
Wu Mei repeatedly said it was okay, with a hint of embarrassment in her tone.
The reason why Wu Mei couldn’t sleep was actually largely because she couldn’t figure out how Fang Bai’s attitude towards Ji Yuning suddenly changed.
Wu Mei couldn’t figure it out, but she had a terrible assumption in her heart. She was afraid that Fang Bai would take advantage of Ji Yuning’s weakness to bully her.
Thinking about it, Wu Mei got out of bed again.
Fang Bai said to the woman, “Sister Wu, can you pour me a glass of water?”
Wu Mei responded and quickly handed Fang Bai a glass of warm water.
After Fang Bai took it, she used the unused clean cotton swab left by Liao Li to dip in the water and gently rolled it back and forth on Ji Yuning’s lips.
The sleeping Ji Yuning seemed to notice something, and pursed her lips.
The dry skin on her lips was softened by the water.
Seeing this, Fang Bai prepared to continue moisturizing Ji Yuning’s lips, but when she dipped the cotton swab in water and looked up, her eyes suddenly went dark, and she staggered, almost losing her balance.
Wu Mei hurriedly stepped forward to support Fang Bai, worried, “Miss, is it anemia again? You haven’t had dinner yet, I’ll heat it up for you.”
Fang Bai had been taking care of Ji Yuning all along, perhaps she was tired.
Wu Mei helped Fang Bai sit on the chair, and was about to go out after she finished speaking.
“Sister Wu,” Fang Bai called out to Wu Mei, “Don’t bother, I’m not eating.”
Wu Mei hesitated, “But your body…”
Fang Bai shook her head twice, then supported her head with her hand and said, “It might be because I got up too quickly and had insufficient bl00d supply, it’s okay.”
Wu Mei stepped forward, “Then Miss, I’ll take you back to your room to rest.”
Fang Bai: “Okay, good.”
Just as Wu Mei reached out to help Fang Bai, Fang Bai handed the cotton swab in her hand to Wu Mei.
“You don’t have to take me, I can go back to my room by myself.”
Fang Bai said softly, “This cotton swab can’t be used, change to a new one and apply it a few more times, just don’t let her lips get too dry.”
Fang Bai got up, looked at the forty-something-year-old woman in front of her, thinking about her health, and said, “Go to sleep in a while, she’s almost recovered.”
Wu Mei was stunned by Fang Bai’s series of caring words for Ji Yuning, she nodded, “Don’t worry, Miss, I know.”
“Okay.”
Fang Bai was still very relieved of Wu Mei.
Fang Bai was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something. She glanced at Ji Yuning, the girl’s eyebrows were still furrowed, but her complexion was much better than before. Retracting her gaze, Fang Bai said a few words to Wu Mei.
After Fang Bai left the room, Wu Mei listened to Fang Bai’s words and prepared to gently moisturize Ji Yuning’s lips with a cotton swab.
When Wu Mei dipped the cotton swab in water, the person on the bed opened her eyes.
Her eyes were blurry from sleep, but she could see who the person in front of her was. Ji Yuning called out in a daze, “Aunt Wu.”
Hearing the sound, Wu Mei leaned over and asked in a low voice, “Awake? How do you feel?”
Her throat felt dry, her body was very hot, and her hands… were still there.
Both hands were still there.
Ji Yuning pulled her hand out from under the quilt, glanced at the tape still on the back of her hand, stared at the red bl00d spots on it, and remained silent.
Lowering her hand, Ji Yuning glanced at the cotton swab in Wu Mei’s hand. She could still feel the moisture on her lips. Ji Yuning pursed her lips and whispered, “Aunt Wu, thank you.”
Wu Mei’s eyes widened.
In the past three years, Ji Yuning had said thank you to her many times, but none of them were as heartfelt as this one.
Wu Mei’s guilt grew stronger, and she said subconsciously, “You’re welcome, it’s good that you don’t blame me.”
Ji Yuning’s eyelids drooped, “Mm.”
“Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? What do you want to eat? I’ll heat up the food and bring it to you—”
Wu Mei stopped halfway through her words when she saw Ji Yuning fall asleep again.
Looking at the other person’s quiet sleeping face, Wu Mei sighed, feeling sorry for Ji Yuning’s hard life. Then she leaned over to tuck in the quilt for Ji Yuning, and used a cotton swab to moisturize her lips again.
A few minutes later, Wu Mei left the room.
Only Ji Yuning’s breathing was left in the room.
The sleeping Ji Yuning grabbed at the quilt with her hands, trying to find the heat source that brought her warmth in her dream.
Finally, after grabbing a corner of the quilt, the slight frown between her eyebrows gradually calmed down.
Ji Yuning felt like she had slept for a long time, but when she looked at the time, it was only a little after six o’clock. But in just a few seconds, Ji Yuning remembered that she had started sleeping yesterday afternoon.
She looked at the unfamiliar environment, then glanced at the IV bag hanging on the shelf next to her.
Lifting her hand and staring at the medical tape on the back of her hand, Ji Yuning remembered what happened last night.
She had a high fever.
Wu Mei took care of her.
Having come to this realization, Ji Yuning returned to the attic to change into her school uniform, washed up briefly, and went downstairs with her schoolbag, taking the initiative to greet the person busy in the kitchen, “Aunt Wu.”
Wu Mei paused when she heard the greeting, then quickly reacted and said to Ji Yuning, “The food is on the table, eat before you go to school.”
Ji Yuning glanced around the living room. Wu Mei guessed what she was thinking and took the initiative to say, “Miss is still resting, just eat.”
“Mm.”
Ji Yuning put her schoolbag on the chair and sat down to eat breakfast.
Breakfast was simple, porridge and buns.
Perhaps because of the high fever last night, Ji Yuning couldn’t taste anything she ate.
So she didn’t know what the buns tasted like, and could only slowly eat them like chewing wax.
Ji Yuning ate as if she was completing a task, not enjoying the food.
Wu Mei watched Ji Yuning chew mechanically, and suddenly remembered what the young lady had told her last night. Wu Mei waited for Ji Yuning to finish eating, and stopped her before she got up to leave, taking out five hundred yuan from her pocket and placing it in front of Ji Yuning.
“Xiao Ji, this is my allowance for you, take it and spend it.”
Ji Yuning lowered her head and glanced at it, her eyes without any fluctuation, “Aunt Wu, how much is your monthly salary?”
Wu Mei: “I…”
Her salary was all used to supplement the household expenses, it was impossible for her to take out so much money.
Ji Yuning grabbed her schoolbag, “I’m going to be late, I’ll go first.”
Fang Bai slept until one o’clock in the afternoon.
No dreams, woke up naturally, slept very comfortably.
After lazily stretching her arms, Fang Bai sat up from the bed.
She guessed that the sudden situation last night was because she hadn’t fully adapted to the body. This time she woke up, the discomfort from last night had completely disappeared, giving her a feeling of rebirth.
When Fang Bai went downstairs, Wu Mei was wiping the table. Seeing Fang Bai, she asked worriedly, “Miss, are you okay? How do you feel?”
Fang Bai slept for so long, Wu Mei wanted to wake her up, but she was afraid that Fang Bai would get angry, so she postponed the idea of waking up Fang Bai until now.
Fang Bai revealed a shallow smile, “I’m fine, I slept very well.”
Wu Mei was stunned by Fang Bai’s gentle demeanor. She grabbed the corner of her clothes and asked, “Then what would you like to eat, Miss? I’ll make it.”
Fang Bai missed three meals, her stomach had already protested loudly. She lowered her eyebrows and said, “Porridge, please.”
Wu Mei smiled, “Okay.”
Fang Bai walked to the sofa and sat down, turned on the TV, and turned it off again after listening to the news for a while because she felt bored.
Her eyes intentionally looked at the piano in the distance. Remembering what happened yesterday, Fang Bai asked, “Did Xiao Ning go to school?”
Hearing Fang Bai’s different way of addressing Ji Yuning, Wu Mei paused her hand movements, then replied, “Oh, yes, she left at seven in the morning.”
“How is her physical condition?” Fang Bai continued to ask.
Wu Mei: “I took her temperature this morning, 36 degrees, the fever has subsided.”
Fang Bai: “Mm.”
“But…” Wu Mei paused, then said, “Xiao Ji guessed that you gave her the money, so she didn’t take it.”
Wu Mei added, “I put the money on the coffee table.”
Fang Bai looked at the crumpled money on the table, “…I see.”
Ji Yuning lived at school five days out of seven, so if she wanted to fatten Ji Yuning up, she could only make sure Ji Yuning ate well at school.
Remembering that the original story described Ji Yuning eating steamed buns and pickled vegetables every meal, Fang Bai thought that this wouldn’t fatten Ji Yuning at all.
Lu Xia gave the original owner a lot of money, but the original owner only gave Ji Yuning a few hundred yuan a month.
What Fang Bai could do was probably only to improve Ji Yuning’s living expenses.
But if she gave Ji Yuning money, Ji Yuning probably wouldn’t accept it, and would probably think she had some ulterior motive, so she thought of asking Wu Mei to give the money.
She didn’t expect it to be figured out.
A clever and rebellious child,
A bit difficult to deal with.

Hu City No. 1 High School.
Class 3, Grade 2.
He Wei knocked on the classroom door. Instantly, the person writing passionately on the blackboard turned his head.
Seeing that it was He Wei, the teacher frowned slightly. He Wei saw it, and she knew it was bad to interrupt the teacher’s class, but she could only give a wry smile and say, “Teacher Li, sorry, I’m looking for a student.”
Li Jun pushed his glasses, hiding his thoughts, and said with a smile, “Okay.”
“Ji Yuning, come out for a moment.”
He Wei’s voice passed through the classroom, and her eyes looked at the girl sitting by the window in the second row.
Before she called out the girl’s name, the girl kept her head down, her slender fingers holding a pen, writing something seriously in her notebook, indifferent to everything else, exuding indifference.
Hearing He Wei call her name, Ji Yuning raised her head.
She glanced at Li Jun, and after receiving his confirmation, Ji Yuning got up under the gaze of the whole class.
Ji Yuning thought the class teacher called her to talk about the program, but she didn’t expect that when she walked past the podium and was about to go out, she heard He Wei say softly, “Your parent is here.”
