The Awakened Cannon Fodder Beauty [Quick Transmigration] 85

Chapter 85: The Vicious Supporting Female Character in a Romance Novel (38)

◎”You can do whatever you want to me.”◎

Jiang Mengyu’s hand, which was holding the craft knife, loosened. “Kill you?”

“I have no need to ruin my own future for an unrelated person.”

Her answer was within Gu Lanqiu’s expectations, but Gu Lanqiu still felt a sharp pain in her heart.

She had not thought of really letting Jiang Mengyu do it. Just now, it had just been a test.

Taking the craft knife back from Jiang Mengyu’s hand, Gu Lanqiu looked at her deeply, the scarlet in her eyes like hot lava, so hot that it was enough to burn everything to ashes. “I know…”

Before, when Jiang Mengyu had stabbed herself in the heart with a knife in order to see her in her previous life, Gu Lanqiu had still suspected that she was using a self-inflicted injury trick. But now, she could understand what Jiang Mengyu had been thinking at that time.

Because her heart was really too uncomfortable, the pain in her body had become secondary.

Gu Lanqiu had never learned how to love a person, nor had she ever seen a healthy and normal romantic relationship. All her experience in love came from Jiang Mengyu, so now she could only learn from Jiang Mengyu’s previous actions and try to make her soften her heart.

The tip of the knife was aimed at her own chest. Gu Lanqiu unhesitatingly pressed her wrist down. There was not a single trace of hesitation on her face, and the decisiveness in her eyes was alarming.

The sharp tip of the knife slightly sank into her flesh. Before the blood could flow out, Gu Lanqiu’s wrist was grabbed by Jiang Mengyu.

“Gu Lanqiu,” Jiang Mengyu’s brows were tightly furrowed. “Are you really crazy?”

She could feel the wrist under her palm trembling. Jiang Mengyu had to tighten her fingers to barely hold Gu Lanqiu.

This proved that Gu Lanqiu was not acting, but really wanted to do this.

If Jiang Mengyu had not held her in time just now, perhaps this knife would have really been completely stabbed in.

“Don’t you hate me?” Gu Lanqiu panted heavily, the tears in her eyes on the verge of falling.

After a long while, she finally asked in a low voice, “Yuyu, if I do this, will you feel a little better?”

If Jiang Mengyu could be appeased because of this, then could she stop looking at her with such a suspicious and vigilant gaze?

Jiang Mengyu’s eyes were so cold they were about to freeze. “Gu Lanqiu, you still haven’t figured it out.”

“I don’t like you, besides the fact that I have no feelings for you now, what’s more important is because…”

As Jiang Mengyu spoke, her voice became a little lower. “Because you lied to me.”

The hand that Gu Lanqiu was holding the craft knife began to tremble. She knew what Jiang Mengyu was referring to. Her previous explanations, Jiang Mengyu did not believe a single word.

She wanted to know the truth of her amnesia.

When Jiang Mengyu saw Gu Lanqiu’s reaction, she knew that she had already understood what she meant. “I will never fall in love with a person who lies to me and hurts me.”

“Do you understand?”

The wound on her chest began to slowly seep blood, wetting the white shirt on Gu Lanqiu’s body. The patch of blood spread, and in a daze, there was a strange and weak beauty.

Gu Lanqiu’s mind was in a mess, as if countless little people were fighting. It was so noisy that her head ached as if it would split, and her heart was beating faster and faster, so fast that her chest was filled with a dull pain.

Jiang Mengyu was too smart. No matter what reason Gu Lanqiu found, she could not deceive her. The more she deceived her, the more defensive and distant she would be.

But did she really have to tell Jiang Mengyu the truth?

Tell her that all of this was her own mistake?

Gu Lanqiu stared at Jiang Mengyu’s eyes. She saw herself in the other’s eyes, pathetic and fragile, like a madman who had lost her reason, without any image to speak of.

Jiang Mengyu just coldly watched her breakdown, her face without a single bit of emotion.

Gu Lanqiu suddenly lost her strength.

Before, she was unwilling to tell Jiang Mengyu the truth because she was worried that she would remember her in her previous life and thus be disappointed in her now.

From the bottom of her heart, she still did not treat the two as the same person.

But now it was different. Because of Jiang Mengyu’s attitude, Gu Lanqiu had begun to realize that her previous thoughts were wrong.

If she still felt that the current Gu Lanqiu and the Gu Lanqiu from her previous life were two people, then that was indirectly admitting that the current Jiang Mengyu and the Jiang Mengyu before she had lost her memory were also two people.

But in Gu Lanqiu’s heart, they had no difference.

Perhaps it was just as Wen Lingyi had said. There was only one Gu Lanqiu in this world, and also only one Jiang Mengyu. No matter who the person who had made Jiang Mengyu’s heart move at first was, in the end, wasn’t it still her that Jiang Mengyu loved?

Gu Lanqiu suddenly felt that she was very ridiculous.

She had gone to such great lengths to struggle with a person who did not exist at all. What on earth was it for?

Not only had it not made their relationship better, but it had also pushed Jiang Mengyu further and further away, making things even more complicated.

Now that things had come to this, did she really have to continue to be wrong?

A lie needed to be covered up with countless lies.

Gu Lanqiu thought dejectedly, no matter what, things would not be worse than now.

She could not stand Jiang Mengyu looking at her with such a cold gaze, as if even if she were to die in front of her, she would not be moved in the slightest.

“Gu Lanqiu,” Jiang Mengyu tightened her grip on Gu Lanqiu’s wrist.

“Why on earth did I like you in the first place?”

The craft knife fell on the covers. Gu Lanqiu ignored the blood on her chest. She stared at Jiang Mengyu’s eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “Because you said you were reborn.”

It didn’t seem as difficult as she had imagined to say it.

Gu Lanqiu was very tired. Her body could not find a single bit of strength, and even her voice was tinged with a sense of powerlessness.

“So you would suddenly break off the engagement with Zeyan, and would be like you had predicted the future, rushing to save me before the car accident happened.”

A look of nostalgia appeared on Gu Lanqiu’s face.

That was the beginning of all their fate.

If she had known earlier that these things would happen later, Gu Lanqiu would have definitely responded to Jiang Mengyu’s feelings from the very beginning and would not have cared about the so-called previous life.

“Reborn?” Jiang Mengyu was only slightly surprised for a few seconds before she quickly calmed down.

Compared to the so-called revenge on her ex, she was clearly more willing to believe this answer, which sounded even more incredible.

Seeing that Gu Lanqiu was a little stunned, Jiang Mengyu pursed her lips and said coldly, “I’ve said it before. No one is worthy of me making such a sacrifice.”

If she were to do something, it must be because she wanted to do it, not because she was forced to do it.

Gu Lanqiu showed a bitter smile. The tears in her eyes had not yet completely faded, and the faint red at the corners of her eyes was tinged with a wet moisture, which inexplicably added a hint of pity.

But she herself was unaware.

“In my previous life, you did not marry Zeyan, and I lost my ability to move after the car accident.”

Gu Lanqiu’s tone was very slow. All her knowledge of her previous life came from Jiang Mengyu’s confession, and her thoughts.

Gu Lanqiu couldn’t help but be in a daze. If she could still hear Jiang Mengyu’s thoughts now, she would be able to know what she was thinking.

Before, she didn’t think this ability was of much use, and had even been annoyed because Jiang Mengyu’s thoughts were too complicated.

Now she was starting to miss its benefits.

Gu Lanqiu recalled the little things of her time with Jiang Mengyu since the car accident. She seemed to have always been ignoring what she had. She didn’t cherish it when she had it, and she regretted it after she had lost it.

It was the same with the ability to read minds, and it was the same with Jiang Mengyu’s love for her.

Jiang Mengyu did not interrupt Gu Lanqiu. Even when she heard her say that she had developed mental problems because of her death, she just listened silently.

It wasn’t until Gu Lanqiu mentioned the argument between the two of them that Jiang Mengyu finally knitted her brows.

“Zhou Xinying told me that the request she had made to you back then was not at all to have you apologize to her.”

Actually, Zhou Xinying had not said this. Gu Lanqiu had deduced it from her reaction, but this did not prevent her from taking the opportunity to badmouth Zhou Xinying.

After all, a few days ago, Zhou Xinying had also done the same thing.

Besides, she had not wronged her. That person did indeed have improper thoughts about Jiang Mengyu.

“I was very angry. I felt that you were biased toward Zhou Xinying. In order not to let me hurt her, you deliberately hid this matter from me.”

Gu Lanqiu was not lying. She had indeed thought so at that time.

Jiang Mengyu’s special treatment of Zhou Xinying had made her feel a strong sense of crisis and dissatisfaction.

Love was selfish to begin with. Gu Lanqiu just wanted Jiang Mengyu to be an exception to her alone. But Jiang Mengyu had deceived her and had been on guard against her for an outsider. How could this not make Gu Lanqiu angry?

Hearing this, Jiang Mengyu suddenly asked out of the blue, “The time Father Zhou sent Zhou Xinying to C City on a business trip, was it your idea?”

Gu Lanqiu observed her reaction. Seeing that she did not seem to be unhappy because of this, she finally nodded very lightly. “Mmm.”

How could she really let Zhou Xinying be attentive to Jiang Mengyu in front of her?

Jiang Mengyu was noncommittal. “Continue.”

Gu Lanqiu pursed her lips. The wound on her chest was not deep, and the blood had slowly stopped. The bright red had also shown signs of turning dark.

At this moment, the dominant position between her and Jiang Mengyu seemed to have been completely reversed.

It was as if it was not Gu Lanqiu who had imprisoned Jiang Mengyu, but Jiang Mengyu who had imprisoned her.

But Jiang Mengyu’s wrist was still bound by a thin chain. She was trapped in a small space by Gu Lanqiu, and even leaving the room had become a difficult thing.

Gu Lanqiu had said that Jiang Mengyu was very good at using the self-inflicted injury trick. Actually, she herself was not much better.

“We had a fight…” Gu Lanqiu’s voice gradually lowered.

Her emotions were not high, and her voice seemed to be covered with a thick shadow.

“You wouldn’t compromise, and I wouldn’t back down.”

Actually, the essence was that both of them were too proud. Gu Lanqiu was even more so than Jiang Mengyu. So once Jiang Mengyu was no longer willing to coax her, the conflict between them had immediately developed to an irreparable point.

Gu Lanqiu knew that she was wrong. She looked at Jiang Mengyu, her lips trembling, and her voice was very soft. “I’m sorry.”

Jiang Mengyu did not speak.

She just stared at Gu Lanqiu with her clear, dark eyes.

Gu Lanqiu’s bones were proud. She was unwilling to bow her head. Even though Jiang Mengyu had questioned her again and again, she was not willing to say “I love you.”

So Jiang Mengyu could only give her a taste of her own medicine. This way, Gu Lanqiu could feel the same and thus truly open her heart to her.

The rest of the matter, Jiang Mengyu had probably already guessed.

Gu Lanqiu also did not want to lie to her anymore. “I thought that if I made you forget about your previous life, you would love me with all your heart.”

Jiang Mengyu curled her lip. “Then why didn’t you choose to make yourself forget those unpleasant things?”

Pinning one’s hopes on others was always the most foolish thing to do.

Gu Lanqiu did not think of changing herself, but instead tried to change her.

“I know I was wrong,” after the first apology, Gu Lanqiu’s second “I’m sorry” also came out very easily.

“Yuyu, you’re right. A person always has to pay the price for their own actions.”

Gu Lanqiu’s gaze had not moved from Jiang Mengyu from beginning to end.

“The truth you wanted to know, I’ve already told you everything.”

Jiang Mengyu did not comment on anything. She just pulled at the chain that was wrapped around her wrist. “Let me go.”

“Impossible,” Gu Lanqiu’s tone was resolute.

“I know you blame me.”

She paused. “The few days after you left, I always had nightmares, dreaming that you had completely disappeared.”

The wet, red moisture that had just barely faded from her eyes appeared again. Gu Lanqiu suddenly leaned over and approached Jiang Mengyu, her voice low and slow, with a hint of a wet and cold gloom. “I said, unless I’m dead, otherwise don’t think of leaving my side.”

Jiang Mengyu’s tone was also very cold. “I can’t possibly play this kind of boring game with you forever.”

“At worst, we’ll just die together.”

Hearing this, a sharp pain suddenly erupted in Gu Lanqiu’s heart. Jiang Mengyu would rather die than to stay by her side.

“Then one month.”

Gu Lanqiu took a deep breath. “Just like in the hospital before, I promised you. You also give me one month.”

“If you still don’t like me by then, I’ll let you go.”

Jiang Mengyu: “Why should I believe you.”

If, after a month, Gu Lanqiu was still unwilling to let her go, what could she do to her?

Gu Lanqiu picked up the craft knife on the bed and stuffed it into Jiang Mengyu’s hand again. “Then just as you said, let’s die together.”

She actually didn’t give Jiang Mengyu a choice. Jiang Mengyu either had to believe her, or they would perish together now.

After looking at Gu Lanqiu with a heavy gaze for a long while, Jiang Mengyu averted her eyes. “Fine, then one month.”

Gu Lanqiu let out a heavy sigh of relief in her heart.

She had bet right.

Actually, even if Jiang Mengyu was really unwilling, Gu Lanqiu would not really watch as she had an accident.

She loved Jiang Mengyu, a little more than she had thought.

Seeing that Jiang Mengyu was not speaking, Gu Lanqiu tentatively moved a little closer. Her voice was almost a murmur. “Yuyu, I really miss you.”

“I didn’t throw away the kitten. It’s in the next room.”

“It doesn’t listen to me. Only when it smells your scent will it quiet down.”

Gu Lanqiu was not just talking about the cat, but also a person.

She could also only feel at ease for a short while when she was by Jiang Mengyu’s side.

Jiang Mengyu was unmoved. “This is your business, it has nothing to do with me.”

The moment her voice fell, a soft touch suddenly came from her lips. Jiang Mengyu dodged, but she quickly pressed back against Gu Lanqiu’s movement and bit her hard.

She tasted blood in her mouth. After their lips had separated, Jiang Mengyu finally saw that a hint of blood red had appeared on Gu Lanqiu’s lips.

She had bitten Gu Lanqiu’s lips until they were broken.

“Gu Lanqiu!” A hint of anger appeared in Jiang Mengyu’s eyes.

Gu Lanqiu curled her lip and showed a smile. Jiang Mengyu was still better like this. Compared to the calm cold light, Gu Lanqiu would rather she glare at her with anger. This at least proved that she could affect Jiang Mengyu’s emotions.

“Yuyu,” Gu Lanqiu called Jiang Mengyu’s nickname in a low voice. “You can be a little rougher.”

Give her more pain, so that she can feel that the Jiang Mengyu in front of her is real, and not her hallucination.

“Let go,” Jiang Mengyu struggled a little.

Gu Lanqiu let go of her hand as she wished, but the next second, she began to unbutton her own shirt. The snow-white neck was quickly exposed to Jiang Mengyu’s eyes. Further down, the cold, white curve was graceful and undulating, tightly wrapped by her undergarments.

The shirt slipped down to Gu Lanqiu’s elbow. Her long hair was casually unbound, and the injury on her body not only did not look ferocious and terrifying, but instead added a hint of a crazy charm to her.

Jiang Mengyu averted her eyes. “Gu Lanqiu, what on earth do you want to do?”

Gu Lanqiu swung her long leg and sat on Jiang Mengyu’s body. She leaned over. Jiang Mengyu was forced to lean back, at the same time, she propped herself up with her backhand so that she would not completely fall back onto the bed.

Gu Lanqiu’s waist was leaning forward, the curve of her lower back like a bent bow. Her waist was thin and flexible, reflecting a gentle luster under the light.

“I want to awaken your memory.”

As Gu Lanqiu spoke, her cheek moved a little closer. “Yuyu, do you really not feel anything for me?”

Jiang Mengyu did not speak. Her face was tense, and her nose was full of Gu Lanqiu’s perfume.

“I won’t hide it from you anymore in the future.”

Gu Lanqiu’s lips were only two fingers’ distance from Jiang Mengyu’s. Her lips still had traces of blood, but Gu Lanqiu was completely unaware. She just stared at Jiang Mengyu with her slightly red eyes.

“Try again…”

“Whatever you want to do to me, you can.”

Jiang Mengyu wanted to refuse, but her hands and feet were suddenly a little weak. The face of Gu Lanqiu in front of her was constantly enlarging, until her lips once again felt a warm touch. Jiang Mengyu’s long lashes lowered slightly.

She tilted her head slightly, and Gu Lanqiu’s lips landed on the corner of her lips.

The person on her was motionless for a moment.

The room fell into a silence.

But soon Gu Lanqiu closed her eyes and kissed her again.

Her hand also raised, its force not heavy as it held the side of Jiang Mengyu’s face. Her head was lowered, her eyes half-closed, her posture like a sacrifice.

Jiang Mengyu’s body leaned back again. She freed a hand to push Gu Lanqiu, but her wrist was grabbed by her.

Gu Lanqiu brought her hand and covered her own heart. The rise and fall under her palm was exceptionally soft, with a lingering heat, constantly invading all of Jiang Mengyu’s senses.

Jiang Mengyu’s fingers flinched back a little, as if she were a little unwilling. Gu Lanqiu sensed her intention. She half-forced her to press the back of Jiang Mengyu’s hand, guiding her to feel her heartbeat.

This kiss did not last long. After their lips had separated again, Gu Lanqiu’s face was clearly much redder than before.

“What did you do to me?” Jiang Mengyu asked.

Her voice was inexplicably a little hoarse.

“I didn’t do anything to you,” Gu Lanqiu panted heavily. She pressed Jiang Mengyu’s fingers, on one hand, leading her to explore her own body, and on the other hand, she said in a low voice:

“I took some things for myself.”

She had thought of doing this from the very beginning. Before Jiang Mengyu had woken up, Gu Lanqiu had already taken the medicine.

The reason why she had not shown it just now was just because the effect of the medicine was not obvious yet.

Jiang Mengyu might have been affected by her scent, which was why she also felt hot and restless.

The strap of her underwear was loose.

Gu Lanqiu lowered her eyes and looked at Jiang Mengyu, her breath exceptionally hot:

“Yuyu, do you like it?”
