After Transmigrating Into A Cannon Fodder Character, I Only Want To Survive (GL) - Chapter 6

Once Ji Yuning left the classroom, the previously quiet classroom immediately erupted in a clamor.

Hu City No. 1 High School was the best school in the city, and the children of many prominent and distinguished people were sent there. The Fang family was considered high-ranking in Hu City, and the fact that Fang Bai was raising a child had spread throughout the city years ago. In recent years, everyone knew how Fang Bai treated that child.

They didn’t dare say anything in front of Fang Bai, but they would always make sarcastic remarks in private gatherings, and some students had heard about Ji Yuning from their parents.

Not long after Ji Yuning entered high school, the rumor that she was a dog raised by Fang Bai spread throughout the school.

Some students didn’t believe it at first, after all, Ji Yuning’s entrance exam scores were the highest in the school, and her life shouldn’t have been so embarrassing. But as time went on, seeing the bruises all over Ji Yuning’s body, many people believed the rumor.

No one dared to provoke the Fang family, and no one dared to approach Ji Yuning, fearing it would implicate their families.

Now that they heard Ji Yuning’s parent had come, everyone was puzzled: what parent? Wasn’t it said that Fang Bai never cared about Ji Yuning? What were they doing at school today? Could it be to get Ji Yuning expelled? To stop her from studying?

Looking at the students whispering to each other under the podium, their discussions reaching Li Jun’s ears, he heavily knocked on the table and said in a deep voice, “Is it any of your business? Do you want me to call your parents too?”

Hearing the hidden anger in Li Jun’s voice, the lively crowd fell silent and lowered their heads.

Only Ji Yuning’s deskmate glanced at the corridor and lowered her head after not seeing Ji Yuning.

Ji Yuning followed He Wei towards the teacher’s office. On the way, He Wei kept talking:

“Ji Yuning, I didn’t expect your mother to be so young. How old is she this year?”

“Or is she not your mother? Is she your sister?”

He Wei asked a few questions, and when she saw Ji Yuning ignoring her, she thought Ji Yuning was cold.

Normally, high schools don’t change homeroom teachers, but the previous homeroom teacher of Class 3 suddenly had health problems, and the school couldn’t find a teacher to take over Class 3 temporarily, so they could only assign He Wei, who had just been promoted.

Having only been in office for half a month, He Wei didn’t know anything about Ji Yuning. Other teachers, in order to maintain their image, didn’t take the initiative to tell He Wei, only knowing that Ji Yuning was aloof and had no friends except for her deskmate, Mu Xuerou.

Seeing the person next to her lowering her head, unable to see her expression, He Wei hesitated and said, “Ji Yuning, if you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t ask.”

Ji Yuning raised her eyes and said in a low voice, “Mm.”

He Wei: “…”

There was no need to reply so quickly.

Ji Yuning couldn’t answer He Wei’s questions.

Ji Yuning originally thought the person who came was Wu Mei, but when she heard He Wei say “young”…

In a few steps, they reached the office door.

The office door wasn’t closed, and Ji Yuning saw the person sitting on the sofa, playing with her fingers, at a glance.

He Wei patted Ji Yuning’s shoulder, stepped into the office, and said to the person on the sofa, “Ji Yuning’s parent, I’ve brought Ji Yuning.”

Ji Yuning saw the person on the sofa return to her serious, mature, and steady appearance in a second, as if the person playing with her fingers just now was someone else.

Fang Bai got up, glanced at Ji Yuning, and saw Ji Yuning standing at the door, motionless, with no intention of coming in.

After a brief eye contact with Ji Yuning, seeing that the other person was expressionless, Fang Bai withdrew her gaze, smiled at He Wei and nodded, “Thank you, Teacher He. I’ll just say a few words to Xiao Ning and leave.”

He Wei: “You go ahead.”

Fang Bai didn’t bother with pleasantries with He Wei and turned to meet Ji Yuning’s distant eyes, calling softly, “Xiao Ning.”

Her voice was soft and her tone was affectionate, as if she were really calling a family member.

Ji Yuning only paused for a moment. She looked at He Wei and the other teachers in the office behind Fang Bai, knowing that the woman was acting in front of outsiders.

Ji Yuning nodded very cooperatively, “Mm.”

In the summer afternoon, wisps of coolness poured in from the windows in the corridor, dispelling some of the stuffiness.

Ji Yuning looked straight at the person in front of her, who was playing with her bangs, and called, “Miss Fang.”

Hearing Ji Yuning’s address, Fang Bai raised an eyebrow, “Aren’t you surprised that I came?”

Fang Bai was a little disappointed. She thought Ji Yuning would be surprised to see her, but when she met Ji Yuning’s eyes, she didn’t see those emotions.

Ji Yuning’s eyes darkened, but her voice was very soft, “I guessed.”

Fang Bai noticed Ji Yuning’s strangeness and knew that the other person was acting again.

Was Ji Yuning a soft-spoken person?

Could you please hide the hostility in your eyes before pretending?

Fang Bai ignored it and asked with a smile, “Guessed it was me who came?”

Ji Yuning: “Mm.”

Fang Bai crossed her arms, “Then did you guess why I came?”

Ji Yuning was silent.

Fang Bai asked, “What did you eat for lunch?”

Ji Yuning didn’t know why Fang Bai asked this, but she told the truth, “Steamed buns.”

As expected.

Fang Bai looked at Ji Yuning, whose face was bloodless but much better than last night. The dry skin on her lips was gone, probably because she drank more water, but her lips were still a little pale.

Fang Bai subconsciously raised her hand and placed it on Ji Yuning’s forehead.

Fang Bai’s movements were too fast, and Ji Yuning’s forehead was already covered by Fang Bai’s hand when she tried to step back and dodge.

Rolling heat passed through her palm to Ji Yuning’s skin, and the temperature of her palm was higher than the temperature of her forehead.

Fang Bai withdrew her hand and diagnosed, “The fever is gone.”

Ji Yuning: “…”

She thought Fang Bai was going to slap her.

Knowing that Ji Yuning was okay, Fang Bai remembered her purpose today.

Fang Bai looked at Ji Yuning and said, “I came for one thing.”

As she spoke, Fang Bai took out the crumpled money from her bag, “You didn’t want the money from Sister Wu, so I had to bring it to you myself.”

Ji Yuning glanced at it, not understanding why Fang Bai did this.

At the beginning of each month, Fang Bai would ask Wu Mei to give Ji Yuning six hundred yuan for her monthly living expenses.

And now, there was still a week until the end of the month.

“I remember Miss Fang said that except for the beginning of the month, she wouldn’t give me money even if she gave it to a dog.” Ji Yuning’s voice was clear and her eyes were calm.

“Did I?” Fang Bai didn’t want to recall when the original owner said this, and said casually, “I said too many things like that, I forgot.”

Ji Yuning glanced at her.

“Starting this week, I’ll give you money every week. You’re a student, I won’t give you too much, only five hundred.”

Fang Bai added, “It’s all deducted from the money your mother gave me, it’s not my money, you don’t have to think there’s a trap, don’t spend a penny.”

Hearing her thoughts, Ji Yuning looked at Fang Bai without leaving a trace.

Fang Bai couldn’t wait for Ji Yuning to take the money, so she directly stuffed the money into Ji Yuning’s school uniform pocket. She happened to lower her head and didn’t notice Ji Yuning looking at her.

After giving the money to Ji Yuning, Fang Bai took a step back, “But I still hope you can use this money to eat. Eating steamed buns all the time…”

Fang Bai scanned Ji Yuning up and down, stopped somewhere for two seconds, and said seriously, “Malnutrition.”

Ji Yuning followed Fang Bai’s gaze and lowered her head. Knowing what Fang Bai was talking about, her eyes were full of indifference, not caring about the other person’s teasing.

She didn’t even care if she was told her chest was small?

Fang Bai remembered that she cared about these things in high school.

Fang Bai suddenly wondered what to say to make Ji Yuning change her expression.

Before Fang Bai could figure it out, Ji Yuning interrupted her, “Miss Fang, do you have anything else to do? I have to go to class.”

Fang Bai subconsciously shook her head, “I’ve said everything I wanted to say.”

After speaking, Fang Bai looked at Ji Yuning and asked, “Do you have anything to say to me?”

Ji Yuning lowered her eyelids, “No.”

Fang Bai thought she would receive a thank you…

Although she didn’t take care of Ji Yuning to hear thank you.

Fang Bai nodded slightly, “Okay, then go to class.”

A consistent commanding tone.

Ji Yuning didn’t say much, and turned to walk towards the classroom.

The sound of reading aloud passed through the corridor, and Ji Yuning’s back looked so lonely in Fang Bai’s eyes.

“Xiao Ning.” Fang Bai called.

The person walking stopped.

Ji Yuning turned sideways, not seeing any teachers or classmates. Who was that woman acting for?

Fang Bai stepped forward and handed the bag she had been holding to Ji Yuning, “I forgot to give you something.”

Ji Yuning lowered her head.

She didn’t not see the bag in Fang Bai’s pocket, she thought it was Fang Bai’s own things.

Perhaps the “Xiao Ning” messed up her thoughts, Ji Yuning took the bag without hesitation.

The bag was heavy.

She didn’t know what was inside.

Fang Bai was very satisfied with Ji Yuning’s action of taking the bag, and said softly, “Open it when you get back to the dormitory tonight.”

When Ji Yuning entered the classroom carrying the bag, the bell for the end of class rang.

Ji Yuning sat back in her seat before Li Jun said class was over. When Li Jun left, Mu Xuerou turned her head and asked Ji Yuning, “Who came?”

Ji Yuning pursed her lips, “Fang Bai.”

Mu Xuerou was the only person she could talk to at school, and Ji Yuning didn’t mean to hide it.

But there was no need to hide it either. When she and Fang Bai were talking in the corridor, Ji Yuning saw a few students come out of the class to go to the toilet. Their eyes were always on Fang Bai, so she knew going to the toilet was just an excuse.

Presumably, before Li Jun finished class, the news that Fang Bai came to find her was spread on notes.

“Fang Bai?” Although Mu Xuerou didn’t know the specifics of the relationship between Fang Bai and Ji Yuning, she had heard the rumors, and immediately asked worriedly, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” Ji Yuning said.

“What did she come for?” Mu Xuerou asked worriedly. She had heard everyone’s discussion, and was really afraid that Fang Bai came to school to get Ji Yuning expelled.

Ji Yuning looked at the textbook, “To give me something.”

Mu Xuerou was surprised, “Give you… give you something?”

Mu Xuerou asked, “What did she give you?”

Ji Yuning didn’t speak, just glanced at the bag on the ground.

The top of the paper bag was sealed, so she couldn’t see what was inside. Mu Xuerou leaned down and picked it up. The bag was printed with a small daisy, not a shopping bag, but something that seemed to be bought specifically to hold something.

“I’ll open it.”

After Mu Xuerou finished speaking, she waited for two seconds. Seeing that Ji Yuning lowered her head to read the book and didn’t stop her, she pretended to tear the tape on the bag.

Ji Yuning had just finished a question, and when she glanced at Mu Xuerou’s action, she reached out and took the bag back.

Mu Xuerou kept the action of taking the bag. She didn’t expect Ji Yuning to take the bag from her.

Because Ji Yuning never refused no matter what she did, so she said “I’ll open it” instead of “Can I open it?”

She thought… her relationship with Ji Yuning was already very good.

The bell rang just in time, Ji Yuning said lightly, “Class is starting.”

Mu Xuerou nodded, covering up her embarrassment, “Okay, then we’ll look at it after class.”
