After transmigrating into a cannon fodder scum A... eh? ABO (GL) - Chapter 6
“Leave? Why should I leave?” Fu Nanxuan held the phone in her hand, her face lowered so that her expression could not be seen clearly. “The school now provides scholarships, as well as accommodation and subsidies. I can rely on these to finish high school. If I transfer schools, how long can your promise last?” She was an orphan abandoned by her parents, and relied on government subsidies to finish junior high school. Because of her excellent grades, she was recruited into this private school. What Fu Nanxuan thought at the time was to reduce the orphanage’s expenses, so she accepted the school’s invitation.
Even though she had been mentally prepared, the difference between private school students and public school students was huge, and the actual life was far more difficult than she could have imagined. But no matter how difficult it was, she endured it for two years. Seeing that she was about to graduate from high school.
She didn’t expect Qi Mian to offer to help her transfer schools. If it were someone else, Fu Nanxuan might consider it, but she didn’t trust Qi Mian. Who knew if after transferring schools, it would be another abyss? What’s more, Qi Mian was obviously helping her now. Although Fu Nanxuan hadn’t found out the reason behind it, if Qi Mian continued to maintain her current appearance, her situation in the original school might not be worse than transferring schools.
The worst outcome was nothing more than Qi Mian turning back to her previous disgusting state.
“Okay then.” Qi Mian made an uninteresting gesture. It was still the early stage of the book, and the Alpha who helped the female lead the most in high school was about to appear. Fu Nanxuan’s situation was about to improve. Before that, she just needed to quietly protect her.
Fu Nanxuan raised her eyes to look at Qi Mian and found that she was in a daze. Since Qi Mian’s temperament changed drastically, the number of times she was in a daze had increased, but she didn’t bully her anymore. If the change in personality was the key, in order to use Qi Mian, should she also change?
But in what direction to change, Fu Nanxuan had no clue for the time being.
The next day at noon, Fang Zhouzhou arrived at the playground as scheduled and saw Qi Mian sitting on the steps waiting for her.
“What do you want from me?” Fang Zhouzhou didn’t take locking Fu Nanxuan in the bathroom seriously. When she received Qi Mian’s message yesterday, she thought that the other party had finally reformed and remembered her. She was a little delighted for a moment.
She liked Qi Mian. The other party’s temper was similar to hers, and they used to get along well. Coupled with Qi Mian’s beautiful appearance and good family background, for Fang Zhouzhou, being able to be with Qi Mian would also help her status at home. When Qi Mian asked her out, Fang Zhouzhou came.
“I thought you understood after what happened at the restaurant last time.” Qi Mian’s family was rich in the real world, but although her parents doted on her, they always taught her to respect others. Even if she was usually kind, the rich girl’s roots in her made her almost close to the original owner’s personality when she had to use her background to suppress others.
“Understood what?” Fang Zhouzhou didn’t understand at first, but suddenly remembered what she did to lock Fu Nanxuan in the bathroom yesterday. “You asked me out for Fu Nanxuan?” The original joy took a sharp turn, and anger arose. “Why have you been so good to her recently? Could it be that it’s really like the rumors say, you like Fu Nanxuan?”
Qi Mian’s eyelids trembled. She really didn’t know that the rumors had spread like this. The original version was that she treated Fu Nanxuan as a servant, how did it become that she liked Fu Nanxuan?
After class at noon, Qi Mian left the classroom. Fu Nanxuan thought she had gone to the gazebo first, and went to the restaurant to get food without asking any further questions. But after not finding anyone in the gazebo, she happened to meet the follower who often followed Fang Zhouzhou and chatted with others, saying that Fang Zhouzhou and Qi Mian had an appointment at the playground.
An uneasiness arose in Fu Nanxuan’s heart at that moment, and she turned and hurried to the playground. Qi Mian’s location happened to be near the flag-raising platform. She detoured a little and hid behind the platform, and heard Fang Zhouzhou questioning Qi Mian, asking if she liked her.
“Like me?” Fu Nanxuan was confused. Her experience of growing up in an orphanage since childhood made her very sensitive to people’s emotions. Fu Nanxuan simply didn’t believe that Qi Mian would like her. She had never felt this kind of emotion from the other party.
“You told me before that you looked down on Fu Nanxuan, saying that it didn’t matter if her grades were good, she could only work for rich people for the rest of her life, earning a meager salary. And she still has such an arrogant attitude towards a future boss like you. You want her to experience what it’s like to be educated by society in advance.” Fang Zhouzhou’s tone was very aggressive. “But overnight, you suddenly stopped targeting her. Now you’ve even asked me out for her sake, to talk about me. Isn’t this liking?”
“I don’t like her.” Qi Mian explained very calmly. Her mood gradually changed from helplessness to impatience. She didn’t understand why these peers didn’t study hard and improve their abilities to strive for inheriting family property, but instead engaged in such boring love, hate, and grudges here.
“You just like her.” The more Fang Zhouzhou spoke, the more certain she became. “You used to have this kind of expression when you talked about Jiang Du.”
Qi Mian was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect the original owner to have someone she liked. And Jiang Du… wouldn’t it be that Jiang Du?
“Jiang Du is about to end her overseas exchange, and will be back at the end of the semester.” Fang Zhouzhou was a little unwilling. “It’s okay if you like Jiang Du, at least you two are a good match. But what does Fu Nanxuan have? What do I have that’s not as good as her?”
“This is not the point… Regardless of whether I like her or not, you should stop targeting her, Fang Zhouzhou.” Qi Mian rubbed her forehead. She originally just wanted to stop her from continuing to bully Fu Nanxuan, but how did things become more complicated?
Fang Zhouzhou sneered. “Counting this time, you’ve stood up for Fu Nanxuan twice recently… You would never do this before. You want me not to target her, then I just won’t stop. What can you do to me? Can you protect her all the time?” After she finished speaking, she left angrily.
Qi Mian took a deep breath, feeling that she had messed things up. She didn’t expect the rumors spread by the school to be so exaggerated. Usually, not many people dared to come up and talk to her about these things, but it backfired.
Fang Zhouzhou was described in the book as the second most vicious female supporting character in the early stage, second only to Qi Mian. Although she was only in high school, her actions were already unscrupulous, entirely based on her own preferences.
But she really didn’t have the function in the CEO novel to make people drop out of school. Now she could only watch Fu Nanxuan as much as possible, and avoid being found opportunities to bully her.
“Like her…” Qi Mian lowered her eyes. The preferences of smut novels are really black and white. If you used to hate her, you have to keep bullying her. Now that you don’t want to bully her, it’s equivalent to liking her. Where did such stupid logic come from?
As for liking Fu Nanxuan, there were other people, even if there was no relationship now, there would be in the future, but in short, it wouldn’t be her. Just now, it was mentioned that Jiang Du was coming back. The differentiation node in the original book seemed to be around the time when they entered the third year of high school, which was only a little more than a month away.
But differentiation might not be on time. The Fu Nanxuan in the book differentiated early because of malnutrition and unstable physiological characteristics. The money she charged was enough to ensure that she wouldn’t go hungry every meal, and had already solved the problem of malnutrition.
She touched the things in her pocket, and then felt relieved.
“Like me?” Fu Nanxuan leaned against the wall, listening to the conversation between the two, so in front of other people, Qi Mian’s performance after stopping looked like she liked herself. “Qi Mian would like me…”
“That’s strange.” Fu Nanxuan sneered. She could be sure that Qi Mian didn’t have such thoughts about her. That kind of person… was as calm as stagnant water.
However, Fang Zhouzhou reminded her. Yesterday, she was still thinking about what kind of attitude to adopt. If she had to make some changes, why couldn’t she just confirm the rumors?
Let Qi Mian “like” her, and she also “like” Qi Mian?
“You’re here.”
Qi Mian came back to her senses, and Fu Nanxuan was already walking to her side with lunch. “I said yesterday, you don’t need to buy it for me anymore.”
Fu Nanxuan lowered her eyes and concentrated on taking out the lunch box, pulling out the chopsticks and handing them to her. The seemingly ordinary action, however, touched Qi Mian’s fingers when handing over the chopsticks. “If I don’t buy it for you, there will soon be rumors that you don’t care about me anymore. Didn’t you say that I could use your name? Isn’t this also a kind of use?”
Because they were very close, Qi Mian didn’t think too much, and nodded in agreement.
“Also, this is today’s pudding.” When Fu Nanxuan took out a glass bottle from her bag, she noticed that Qi Mian couldn’t help but look over. The corner of her mouth curled up slightly.
Qi Mian was just about to take it, but suddenly remembered what she said last time about this being an Omega’s food, her hand stiffened. Just as she was about to refuse, Fu Nanxuan had already grabbed her palm and placed the pudding in her hand. The other party’s hand was very warm, and the strength was unexpectedly great. When she held her hand, Qi Mian couldn’t shake it off, and could only be forced to accept it.
“Food doesn’t distinguish between Omega or Alpha. Please, try it?” Fu Nanxuan used the word “please,” and her tone was so soft that it was like coaxing her.
“…” Qi Mian always felt that Fu Nanxuan was a little strange, suddenly liking physical contact? But since she gave her a way out with this tone, Qi Mian, who possessed an Omega soul, originally wanted to eat pudding, so she followed the trend and pretended to be unhappy, saying: “Alright.”
Fu Nanxuan watched her take it away with a smile in her eyes, and vaguely had some ideas about how to deal with Qi Mian in her heart. She had long known that Qi Mian would eat pudding. The last time in the gazebo, there was an empty pudding bottle on the ground where Qi Mian was staying, obviously left by her. She didn’t know why she kept hiding it in front of her.
The last time her test failed, this time Fu Nanxuan begged her to eat, and Qi Mian hypocritically accepted it. So, as long as her tone is gentler, will Qi Mian soften her attitude as she thought?
