The Real Daughter Needs Saving by This Vicious Female Cannon Fodder? - Chapter 60

As a loyal family dog,

Ning Anran knew exactly what she should and shouldn’t do. In front of Gu Xia, she could sever all unnecessary interpersonal relationships.

“I see… Then, Anran, I’ll reject him right away!”

Xuan Qi understood the basic principle of surrendering immediately—their entire dorm knew that once Ning Anran got angry, it would be like a flood sweeping through Jinshan!

Hearing Ning Anran’s roommate back down, Gu Xia inexplicably felt a little smug. Her “fox tail” was practically wagging.

Pretending to be indifferent, Gu Xia glanced around, trying to mask the joy in her heart.

Come on, if she acted too obviously, she’d look downright creepy.

She didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of Ning Anran. The affection points needed careful maintenance! Otherwise, if they dropped one day, she’d be the one crying.

But the moment she looked around, she was in for a shock.

Gu Xia finally understood why the protagonist’s life was full of surprises!

“Ning Anran…”

Her body reacted faster than her mind. Gu Xia quickly hooked her arm around Ning Anran’s neck. Since Ning Anran was taller, Gu Xia had no choice but to tiptoe in her black Doc Martens.

Gu Xia: Heartbroken. Devastated. On the verge of tears.

So blue, so mushroom.

Honestly, she’d worn those black high-top Doc Martens today purely to look cool! And yet, even with them on, she was still a tiny bit shorter than Ning Anran!

No cool points gained, only face lost!

“Hmm? What’s wrong?”

Ning Anran had little patience for others—it was like asking a bartender to carve ice balls in a blizzard at -20°C.

But when it came to Gu Xia, she was utterly biased.

Even the system found it strange. This wasn’t a rivalry—it was more like a wife!

Eyes crinkling with a smile, Ning Anran leaned slightly forward, closing the distance between them.

Oh no. Gu Xia sensed a teasing glint in Ning Anran’s smile.

But she couldn’t tell Ning Anran the truth! She’d just spotted Ning Jin on the other side!

As the eldest daughter of Yuanye Group, Ning Jin was naturally quite famous. Gu Xia had even seen her a few times at social events.

They’d exchanged polite nods.

But Gu Xia didn’t expect Ning Jin to remember her.

What worried her was Ning Jin seeing Ning Anran’s face. Honestly, if Gu Xia saw someone who looked exactly like her parents on the street,

She’d definitely follow them to see what was up.

To figure out who they really were.

Not that she was being paranoid—she was just being cautious! That’s why she was holding onto Ning Anran like this.

When Gu Xia remained silent for too long, Ning Anran raised her hand to tuck a loose strand of hair behind Gu Xia’s ear.

She’d done this many times before while taking care of Gu Xia—it was second nature to her.

“Wait, Ning Anran, don’t move.”

Afraid Ning Anran might turn and see what was happening, Gu Xia pressed her palm against Ning Anran’s cheek, keeping her firmly in place.

The soft, slightly fuzzy texture of Ning Anran’s hair under her palm made Gu Xia exhale in relief.

Compared to before, Ning Anran’s hair seemed much healthier these days.

Truly, beautiful flowers—and beautiful people—needed tender care.

“Why shouldn’t I move?”

“Do you… want to kiss me?”

This spot was a famous lovers’ rendezvous at the Imperial Capital University. Ning Anran couldn’t understand why two people needed to sit face-to-face staring at each other while being so close.

The only conclusion she could draw was that Gu Xia wanted to kiss her.

Gu Xia: “!!!”

How terrifying!

Ning Anran must have never actually drunk that herbal medicine—she’d probably been drinking iced Americanos all along.

“Should you take the initiative, or shall I?”

In the past, Gu Xia never liked bullying her in front of others. Considering how drastically Gu Xia’s personality had changed now, it didn’t seem so strange anymore that she’d demand a kiss in public.

Leaning close to Gu Xia’s ear, Ning Anran whispered: “Should we use tongues or not?”

What… what kind of question was that?!

What exactly had Ning Anran been reading? Wasn’t the female lead supposed to have a “beautiful-tragic-strong” persona? How did she know so much about these things?

Could “strong” also mean this kind of strength?!

“Ah, about that, Host~”

“The female lead has been pulling all-nighters studying educational materials recently. She’s watched plenty of videos that could make you feel good. What a wonderful female lead, Host—she even considers your physical wellbeing~”

The system’s teasing tone really made Gu Xia want to yank it out and beat it up.

“I’m supposed to be redeeming the female lead, okay? How could I possibly make her my caged canary? I’d never be like the male protagonist…”

Seeing Gu Xia unconsciously raise her eyebrows in silence, Ning Anran knew she was angry inside.

This was one of her little tells. Having been Gu Xia’s “servant” all this time, Ning Anran knew her well.

Before Gu Xia could finish retorting the system, she felt a warm pressure on her lips—Ning Anran’s technique was much more skilled than during their last kiss.

Ning Anran didn’t care what others thought of her. She only knew she’d give Gu Xia whatever she wanted.

She still owed Gu Xia an undelivered birthday gift.

“Mmm… mmmph… mmm…”

Gu Xia, who’d somehow gotten herself trapped in this situation, was kissed until her whole body went weak. Her fingers slowly dropped to hook onto Ning Anran’s back.

Ning Anran’s roommates stared dumbfounded, their phones clattering onto the pavement.

Phones: …Someone speak up for us.

Is this how city girls act with their best friends?

“No peeking, children! Absolutely no peeking!”

Xuan Qi stretched out her arms to block the other two roommates’ views while she herself stood frozen in place.

Ning Anran… was really good at kissing.

“Did it feel good?”

“Do you… want more?”

Eyes glistening, Ning Anran pulled out a tissue with her slender pale fingers, carefully wiping Gu Xia’s reddened, slightly swollen lips.

Gu Xia hated sticky, dirty sensations—Ning Anran remembered this clearly.

Regarding human physiological needs, Ning Anran had naturally done her research. She didn’t mind doing these things for Gu Xia.

As long as it was her.

Just like when Gu Xia had forcefully shoved a piece of chocolate into her hand, making Ning Anran certain she’d finally seen the sun.

Not the sun in the sky, but her summer, her sunlight.

Even after numbing herself, Ning Anran could still recall every minute detail the moment she closed her eyes.

She hated Gu Xia, yet yearned for her closeness.

She hated Gu Xia’s fists and insults, yet craved to be the only one by her side.

She had probably truly become a madwoman.

“Ahhhh! Kissing in public like this is so embarrassing… But I have to admit, Ning Anran’s kisses feel—incredibly good.

So good it’s beyond words.

I wonder if anyone else has experienced this kind of… just pure bliss.

‘Ning Anran… friends don’t do things like this, you know?'”

Gu Xia’s voice softened from the kisses. Deep down, she was a little expectant—waiting to hear how Ning Anran would respond.
