After Transmigrating Into A Cannon Fodder Character, I Only Want To Survive (GL) - Chapter 7

Evening self-study ended at 9:30 PM. Ji Yuning stayed in the classroom for a few more minutes, and after finishing the last question, she walked towards the dormitory building with Mu Xuerou.

They didn’t live in the same dormitory, and they said goodbye before reaching Mu Xuerou’s dormitory.

However, when Ji Yuning continued to walk forward, Mu Xuerou called out to Ji Yuning. Looking at Ji Yuning’s calm and dull cold eyes, Mu Xuerou swallowed back what she wanted to say and said a gentle good night.

Ji Yuning nodded in response, then turned around and walked around the corner alone.

The dormitory was a common eight-person dormitory, with bunk beds, two by two, facing each other.

Ji Yuning’s bed was at the innermost end on the right.

She came back a little late, and there were only two people in the dormitory. The rest had already gone to wash up. When they saw Ji Yuning come back, they just glanced at her and didn’t say a word.

After Ji Yuning walked past them and headed straight for the balcony, they didn’t remain silent. They leaned together and started whispering. Although they were whispering, they didn’t lower their voices, as if they were deliberately saying it for Ji Yuning to hear.

“What’s she acting so arrogant for? Who’s she trying to give that cold face to?”

“Just ignore her. Don’t you know her situation?”

“Yeah, no matter how arrogant she is, she’s still someone else’s dog. But looking at her like this, maybe she’s a good dog, only wags her tail for her master…”

“…”

Ignoring the ridicule and insults in her ears, Ji Yuning stood in front of the storage cabinet on the balcony, calmly opened her cabinet, and then tore off the tape on the bag.

The bag, which had been sealed for an afternoon, instantly got a chance to breathe. A sweet scent rushed out first, and finally, the thing that the girl had been pondering for a long time was revealed.

Ji Yuning calmly opened the mouth of the bag, wide enough for her to see what was inside.

Two small bags of milk-flavored candy tablets, two bags of fruit-flavored hard candies, and a bottle of… yellow peach canned food.

All of them were things to coax children.

Ji Yuning’s slightly raised eyebrows twitched, expressing sarcasm at the things in the bag.

She had already passed the age where she would follow someone for a piece of candy. Was Fang Bai giving her these to subtly mock her for being childish?

Although she didn’t want the things Fang Bai gave, she couldn’t throw them away. Isn’t it a waste of food?

Throwing it away after it expires isn’t a waste.

Ji Yuning was about to put the bag into the cabinet when she glanced at something still attached to the can.

Without hesitation, Ji Yuning pulled it off with two fingers. It was a blue sticky note with the words:

[Take care of your health, study hard.]

“…”

The square sticky note was crumpled into a ball. Ji Yuning pretended to throw it into the trash can, but hesitated when she turned around. In the end, she threw the paper ball into the bag.

Ji Yuning took out the canned food. After checking and finding no other notes, she took out the four bags of candy.

As the milk candies were taken away, Ji Yuning saw that there was a box underneath.

Rectangular, white, with a mobile phone brand logo printed on it.

Hu City No. 1 High School students were allowed to bring mobile phones, as long as they didn’t play with them during class.

Ji Yuning lowered her eyes and looked at the mobile phone box. Her slightly thin lips pursed, and half of her face was in the shadows, making it impossible to see her expression.

Ji Yuning didn’t have a mobile phone, and she never thought of buying one.

She didn’t have anyone she needed to contact or wanted to contact. In this world, she only had herself.

There was a piece of paper tucked into the place where the mobile phone box met the bag. Ji Yuning’s thick eyelashes trembled when she saw it. After two breaths, Ji Yuning stretched out her finger and picked up the paper.

She wanted to see what Fang Bai had written again.

It was still a blue sticky note, but unlike the previous one, the paper was densely packed with words:

[A little gift, do you like it?

I’ve installed the SIM card for you. My number and Sister Wu’s number are in the address book. If something happens at school, you can call me… or Sister Wu. You should know how to make a call, right? It’s okay if you don’t. You’re so smart, you should figure it out after trying it once.

I’ve also registered WeChat for you and added me as a friend (I’ll only say this once, no deleting or blocking.)

Ps: Buying a mobile phone is just for our convenience to communicate. Don’t become addicted to the internet. Study is important.]

The content ended here.

The blue sticky note just now only had eight words. Ji Yuning was in an unexpected situation and didn’t look carefully. The delicate and elegant font on the paper in front of her was eye-catching. Ji Yuning was a little dazed. She didn’t expect that Fang Bai, such a vicious person, had handwriting that was more tasteful than her character.

For the last sentence, Ji Yuning pondered for a few seconds, looked at the words “convenience to communicate”, and her lips curled slightly, with an unclear meaning.

The sound of the door opening rang in her ears, and then the two people who were still talking in the room walked out.

The sound interrupted Ji Yuning’s thoughts.

Ji Yuning lowered her head and stuffed the paper, along with the canned food and candy, into the bag, and finally pushed the paper bag into the depths of the storage cabinet, as if she had never received it, as if she had never seen it.

Finally, a small golden lock fell on the lock buckle of the storage cabinet.

••••

[F: Do you know how to use it?]

Fang Bai stared at this message for the third time.

This was the content she sent an hour ago, and the other party who received the message still used the original profile picture after registering WeChat.

At 10:30, everyone in the school, except for those who were burning the midnight oil, should have gone to bed.

Fang Bai’s eyebrows flashed with understanding, and she threw the phone aside and turned over with the quilt.

The dim light of the bedside lamp shone on Fang Bai’s face. Fang Bai had closed her eyes, and there was no anger on her face because she didn’t get a reply from Ji Yuning.

Ji Yuning wouldn’t use the things she gave her, maybe she wouldn’t even open the bag. All of this was within Fang Bai’s expectations. The reason why she clicked on Ji Yuning’s chat box three times was just because she had some unwarranted expectations in her heart.

As her expectations fell, Fang Bai fell asleep in a short while.

For four consecutive days, Fang Bai still didn’t receive a reply from Ji Yuning, but she received several calls from the original owner’s friends every day.

The original owner didn’t have a job. Her daily life was to indulge in extravagance with her so-called good friends, often going out sober and coming home drunk.

Fang Bai wasn’t interested in these friends of the original owner. After politely refusing to no avail, Fang Bai blacklisted the people who kept calling.

Looking at the finally quiet phone, Fang Bai thought that her main task now was not to play, but to get in touch with Ji Yuning.

Just as she was thinking, an unknown number appeared on the screen.

Fang Bai thought it was still the original owner’s friends and was about to hang up, but suddenly felt that the number looked familiar. The next second, Fang Bai’s finger slid over the answer button.

A familiar voice rang, “Hello, Ji Yuning’s parent. I’m He Wei. Do you remember me?”

Fang Bai’s body, which was nestled in the soft cushion, slowly straightened up. She said calmly, “Of course I remember. Hello, Teacher He. May I ask what’s the matter?”

He Wei coughed lightly, “It’s like this, our school is holding a school celebration today and invited the parents of the top twenty students in the grade to watch the performance, but I didn’t see you. I wanted to call and ask if you were busy with work and didn’t have time to come?”

When Fang Bai heard the word “school celebration”, she knew what He Wei was going to say. She knew there was a school celebration when she came, and she was thinking about watching Ji Yuning’s performance, but she was too busy these days and forgot.

Fang Bai said embarrassedly, “Sorry, I forgot.”

“It’s okay,” He Wei said. “Can you come, Miss Fang? Because I think students will perform more enthusiastically and feel better if their parents are sitting below.”

He Wei didn’t say the second half of her sentence, that all the parents of the top twenty students had come except Ji Yuning’s.

He Wei looked at the person sitting on the chair in the distance, lowering her head and unable to see her expression, and asked, “Is that okay, Miss Fang?”

Fang Bai got up, “May I ask which performance is Xiao Ning’s?”

He Wei thought for a moment, “The seventh one, I think. The performance hasn’t started yet, so you should be able to see it if you come.”

Fang Bai hummed and said politely, “Thank you, Teacher He. I’ll be there soon.”
