The Awakened Cannon Fodder Beauty [Quick Transmigration] 24p1

Chapter 24 p1: The Cannon Fodder A Who Has a Crush on the Female Lead O (21)

◎”I really want to eat you, A-Yan.”◎

Everyone’s impression was still stuck on Jiang Mengyu pestering Chu Muyao. Seeing Jiang Mengyu completely ignore Chu Muyao now, they couldn’t help but feel a little confused.

And Chi Jingyan, wasn’t she and Jiang Mengyu love rivals?

By bringing Jiang Mengyu to Class 9, wasn’t she afraid that Jiang Mengyu would pester Chu Muyao again?

The crowd felt like they were watching a three-person battlefield, their gazes constantly shifting between the three, afraid of missing any exciting plot points.

However, in reality, nothing happened.

Neither Chi Jingyan nor Chu Muyao were the type to lose face by arguing in front of others, and Jiang Mengyu was even less interested in putting on a show for everyone. So in the end, it all ended with the three of them in silence.

A student in Class 9 had taken a leave of absence two days ago, leaving an empty seat. Jiang Mengyu moved her desk to the empty spot. Her deskmate happened to be another Alpha, and also the class’s academic representative, named Chen He’an.

Chen He’an wore a pair of large, black-framed glasses, her hair tied in a ponytail at the back of her head. Her face looked a little serious, and her attitude toward Jiang Mengyu was neither warm nor cold.

Jiang Mengyu noticed that while most people were watching the drama, Chen He’an hadn’t looked up. She seemed to be uninterested in all the gossip from the outside world. At this moment, she only glanced at Jiang Mengyu before burying her head and continuing to work on her test paper.

Jiang Mengyu liked people who were quiet and didn’t cause trouble. She tidied up her things and sat down. A short while later, someone walked in from outside the classroom and said to Jiang Mengyu, “Jiang Mengyu, the teacher wants you to go to the office to get your books.”

It was the class monitor.

Jiang Mengyu turned to look at Chi Jingyan. Seeing that she was still sitting in her seat without moving, and hadn’t even looked up at her, she nodded at the class monitor and then got up and left the classroom.

Only after Jiang Mengyu had left did the atmosphere in the classroom liven up a little.

Someone who was relatively familiar with Chi Jingyan took the opportunity to approach her and ask, “Sister Chi, what’s going on? Jiang Mengyu, she…”

“What happened before was all a misunderstanding,” Chi Jingyan lowered her eyelids. “Don’t mention it again in the future.”

The person who asked fell silent. The victim of this incident was Chi Jingyan. Since even she wasn’t making a fuss, the others naturally couldn’t say anything.

However, the drugging incident could barely be called a misunderstanding, but what about Jiang Mengyu pestering Chu Muyao?

Did Chi Jingyan not care about that either?

Everyone couldn’t help but look at Chu Muyao again.

Chu Muyao had already returned to her seat. Her back was to Chi Jingyan. Even though she knew the people behind her were looking at her, Chu Muyao didn’t turn around.

The stiff atmosphere continued until Jiang Mengyu returned with her new books. The head teacher was following behind her.

The first class was the head teacher’s. Before class started, she introduced Jiang Mengyu to everyone. No matter what everyone was thinking, at least on the surface, they didn’t show it. The applause was quite enthusiastic.

Jiang Mengyu was very low-key. None of the situations everyone had imagined happened. For the entire morning, she just quietly listened to the lecture and did her homework, not bothering Chu Muyao again, as if she had really turned over a new leaf.

The system only required Jiang Mengyu to get her graduation certificate, but Jiang Mengyu didn’t slack off. It had been a few years since she had graduated from high school, and she had almost forgotten some of the knowledge. But after looking at the textbooks for a morning, she had managed to pick up about seventy to eighty percent of it again.

As class was about to end, Jiang Mengyu was stuck on a problem. She had tried to solve it several times without success. Just as she was about to try another method, a low female voice suddenly sounded in her ear, “That’s wrong.”

It was Chen He’an.

Seeing Jiang Mengyu look up at her, Chen He’an’s expression didn’t change. “Your line of thought is fine, but you calculated the value wrong.”

She pointed at Jiang Mengyu’s test paper with her fingertip. Jiang Mengyu quickly calculated it in her head and, just as Chen He’an had said, she had substituted the wrong value.

“Thank you, Academic Rep,” since the other person had kindly reminded her, Jiang Mengyu didn’t ignore her.

“It’s nothing,” Chen He’an had no other intention. She just saw that Jiang Mengyu’s attitude toward learning was quite serious.

She had heard that this person’s grades had been quite good before. If it weren’t for her mind not being on her studies later, she wouldn’t have ended up being expelled.

Now that she saw Jiang Mengyu was able to turn back from her wrong path, Chen He’an naturally didn’t mind helping her a little. After all, they would be deskmates in the future.

Anyway, she hadn’t done much, just reminded Jiang Mengyu that she had done the problem wrong.

After Chen He’an finished speaking, she left. Jiang Mengyu lowered her head and continued to work on the problem, but a shadow unexpectedly fell in front of her. She looked up and saw that Chi Jingyan was standing in front of her.

Jiang Mengyu subconsciously turned to look at the door and, sure enough, found Chu Muyao standing not far away, quietly looking in their direction, clearly waiting for Chi Jingyan.

Jiang Mengyu didn’t put down her pen. “Aren’t you going to eat?”

Chi Jingyan frowned. What kind of tone was that?

But thinking that Chu Muyao was still waiting for her, Chi Jingyan didn’t say anything. She placed the meal card in her hand on Jiang Mengyu’s desk. “I’m leaving first.”

After a moment’s thought, Chi Jingyan added, “You don’t need to follow me.”

“I know,” Jiang Mengyu replied in a low voice.

She watched as Chi Jingyan and Chu Muyao left together. The Alpha was half a head taller than the Omega. She tilted her head slightly, listening attentively as the Omega beside her spoke. The two of them looked exceptionally well-matched.

“They look good together, don’t they?”

Jiang Mengyu withdrew her gaze and looked at the person standing in front of her. He was the one who had just spoken.

Seeing Jiang Mengyu staring at him without a word, the boy couldn’t help but curl his lips into a sarcastic smile. “Jiang Mengyu, although I don’t know what sweet words you used to bewitch Chi Jingyan, what right does a low-level Alpha with no family background like you have to covet the moon in the sky?”

Jiang Mengyu hadn’t expected to encounter such a plot. Wasn’t being provoked by a brainless cannon fodder usually the protagonist’s treatment?

She felt nothing in her heart, so naturally, there was no reaction on her face. She just asked casually in a flat tone, “Are you jealous?”

Although the boy’s words were sarcastic, the jealousy in his eyes couldn’t be hidden. Jiang Mengyu didn’t know if the “moon in the sky” he was referring to was Chi Jingyan or Chu Muyao, but it didn’t matter.

She quickly withdrew her gaze and continued to look at the test paper in her hand. Finishing this problem was more important than arguing with someone.

Jiang Mengyu was a little hungry. She planned to go eat after finishing this problem.

The boy hadn’t expected Jiang Mengyu’s reaction to be so calm. He had thought that she would definitely be hurt, or angrily argue with him. He had even thought about how to make Jiang Mengyu recognize her own status, but who knew that Jiang Mengyu would completely ignore him.

“You…!”

He was flustered and angry, and reached out to grab Jiang Mengyu’s test paper.

Only then did Jiang Mengyu’s expression turn cold. She flipped her wrist, and a flash of silver glinted at her fingertips.

“Ah!!”

The boy cried out in pain. He widened his eyes and quickly pulled his hand back. He looked down and saw a cut on his previously smooth fingertip, blood continuously seeping out.

And in Jiang Mengyu’s hand, a small silver knife had appeared at some point.

“Jiang Mengyu!” The boy stared at Jiang Mengyu, his eyes a mixture of horror and anger.

Jiang Mengyu had been merciful and hadn’t cut off his finger. She knitted her brows. “Scram.”

The boy was so angry his chest heaved, but he was wary of the knife in Jiang Mengyu’s hand and didn’t dare to do anything else for the time being.

Is Jiang Mengyu crazy? She actually hurt someone at school!

“I won’t let this go!” he gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

This wasn’t the first time Jiang Mengyu had been threatened. Chi Jingyan had even shot at her several times, and wasn’t she still sitting here just fine?

“Whatever you want,” she lowered her eyes and looked at the blood on the small knife, her brows furrowing.

It’s dirty.

After wiping off the bloodstain and putting the knife away, Jiang Mengyu buried her head and continued to work on the problem.

She didn’t know who the boy had gone to complain to, but Chi Jingyan found out about it very quickly.

Just as Jiang Mengyu was coming out of the cafeteria after eating, she received a message from Chi Jingyan. It was only two short words:

[Come here.]

An address was attached.

Jiang Mengyu followed the address Chi Jingyan had given her. Only when she arrived did she realize it was an art studio. Chi Jingyan was sitting by the window, looking down at her phone. When she heard the sound, she looked up at Jiang Mengyu.

“Close the door.”

Jiang Mengyu closed the art studio door behind her. She walked toward Chi Jingyan. Only when she got closer did she realize that there was also a bag of small cookies on the table in front of Chi Jingyan, which looked homemade.

The bag of cookies was slightly open, and a faint milky scent filled the air.

Thinking that Chi Jingyan had just left with Chu Muyao, it was self-evident who had given her this bag of cookies.

Chi Jingyan put down her phone. She was toying with a craft knife in her hand. The sharp blade spun nimbly at her fingertips, like an obedient pet, not causing her any harm.

“First day back at school, and you’re already causing trouble for me?” Chi Jingyan looked at Jiang Mengyu with an unreadable expression.

“I gave it to you for self-defense.”

Not to hurt your classmates with it.

Jiang Mengyu was silent for a few seconds. “He provoked me first.”

Chi Jingyan clearly already knew the whole story. She raised an eyebrow. “He wasn’t wrong.”

Except for one thing: Jiang Mengyu was not the B-grade Alpha everyone thought she was.

However, for the time being, only Chi Jingyan knew about this. Even Chu Muyao was unaware.

Jiang Mengyu fell silent again. After a long while, she asked in a low voice, “Then do you want me to go and apologize to him?”

Chi Jingyan didn’t speak. If she had wanted Jiang Mengyu to apologize, she wouldn’t have called her here.

Jiang Mengyu had gone a little too far, but it was also the boy’s fault for running his mouth first. No matter what, a person of hers, Chi Jingyan’s, was not for others to discipline.

However, Chi Jingyan didn’t say this out loud. She just gave Jiang Mengyu a deep look and asked a completely unrelated question, “Getting along well with your new deskmate?”

She had indeed seen the scene of Chen He’an explaining the problem to Jiang Mengyu.

Jiang Mengyu: “The Academic Rep is quite nice.”

At least Chen He’an hadn’t looked at her with prejudice like the others.

Hearing this, Chi Jingyan curled her lip, but the emotion in her eyes was cold. “You admire her very much?”

Her temper came out of nowhere. After all, Jiang Mengyu and Chen He’an had only exchanged a few words. In comparison, the way Chi Jingyan and Chu Muyao interacted was far more ambiguous.

They had lunch together and even shared snacks in an empty classroom.

Jiang Mengyu looked at the bag of cookies on the table and said nothing.

Chi Jingyan followed her line of sight. She pursed her lips. “Don’t forget why you were able to come back to school.”

Chi Jingyan’s tone was a warning. “Do your part. Don’t waste your thoughts on unimportant people.”

Her words were blunt, as if in her eyes, Jiang Mengyu was her property. She couldn’t have her own thoughts; she just needed to always watch Chi Jingyan and listen to her.

Jiang Mengyu’s voice was low. “I know.”

Chi Jingyan looked at Jiang Mengyu’s submissive appearance, and the restlessness in her heart finally subsided a little.

Of course she knew there was nothing between Jiang Mengyu and Chen He’an, but Chi Jingyan was inexplicably annoyed, especially when she heard Jiang Mengyu say that Chen He’an was nice. Chi Jingyan was even more furious.

She let out a slow breath. She remembered that just now, here, Chu Muyao had asked her why she had let Jiang Mengyu come back to school.

Why?

Of course, it was because an uncertain factor had to be kept under her own watch, to prevent her from causing trouble behind her back.

In Chi Jingyan’s eyes, Jiang Mengyu was like a mad dog. Although she could lose her reason at any time, she was willing to put a chain around her own neck and actively hand the other end of the chain to Chi Jingyan.

It wasn’t impossible for Chi Jingyan to try to tame this mad dog.

She threw the craft knife in her hand aside, stood up, and patted the non-existent dust on her sleeves. “Alright, let’s go back to the classroom.”

As Chi Jingyan spoke, she picked up the bag of cookies on the table and threw it into Jiang Mengyu’s arms.

“Hold this for me.”

She was always like this. First, she made Jiang Mengyu prepare a gift for someone else, and now she was throwing the cookies someone else had made for her to Jiang Mengyu.

It was one thing for her to have this attitude toward her, but she was so careless about Chu Muyao’s affairs.

Jiang Mengyu looked at Chi Jingyan’s departing back, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

As she was thinking, she suddenly saw Chi Jingyan turn her head, her tone impatient. “Aren’t you going to keep up?”

Jiang Mengyu followed her.

The two of them walked one after the other toward the school building. As they were about to reach the classroom door, Chi Jingyan suddenly stopped. She turned back to say something to Jiang Mengyu, but found that Jiang Mengyu’s hands were empty.

“Where are my cookies?” Chi Jingyan narrowed her eyes.

“Threw them away,” Jiang Mengyu’s tone was calm.

There was no intention of lying or covering it up.

Chi Jingyan’s face tightened, displeasure appearing in her eyes. “I told you to hold them, not to throw them away.”

Jiang Mengyu met Chi Jingyan’s gaze, her expression unchanged. “I am your personal bodyguard. I have an obligation to protect your safety.”

Food safety also counted.

Chi Jingyan took a deep breath. “Muyao made them herself. How could there be a problem?”

Jiang Mengyu was clearly doing this on purpose!

Jiang Mengyu curled her lip. “The glass of wine last time was also handed to you by Chu Muyao herself.”

And what was the result? Hadn’t Chi Jingyan’s susceptible period been induced early after drinking it?

Chu Muyao was not an antidote. Who knew if there was a problem with the things she gave?

Chi Jingyan was a little annoyed. Of course she knew that Jiang Mengyu simply didn’t want her to accept the things Chu Muyao had given her, but what Jiang Mengyu said was indeed the truth. Chi Jingyan had no way to refute it.

In the end, she could only warn, “Don’t act on your own next time!”

Jiang Mengyu gave Chi Jingyan a deep look, her tone faintly tinged with suppressed emotion. “The congee I made for you, you didn’t even taste a single bite.”

She had woken up early to cook it, but Chi Jingyan had directly knocked it over.

Can that be the same?

Chi Jingyan wanted to say that she had just been too angry at the time. The bowl of congee was the only thing at hand, so she had smashed it without thinking. How could she have cared so much?

Besides, was the congee Jiang Mengyu had made something very precious and valuable?

Chi Jingyan had almost forgotten about this matter. Now that she was being questioned by Jiang Mengyu like this, she felt a little embarrassed. But Chi Jingyan couldn’t bring herself to apologize. What’s more, why should she apologize to Jiang Mengyu?

All of this was Jiang Mengyu’s own choice. She hadn’t forced her.

Chi Jingyan’s pretty face was tense. In the end, she only spat out a cold sentence, “Can you compare to Muyao?”

Jiang Mengyu didn’t answer. Her gaze fell on the blocking patch on Chi Jingyan’s neck. Jiang Mengyu knew that under that thin sticker, her jasmine scent was hidden.

Chi Jingyan’s body still carried her pheromones, yet she turned around and flirted with someone else.

“Does your Muyao know that you were… by me?”

Before Jiang Mengyu could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Chi Jingyan.

“Jiang Mengyu!”

Chi Jingyan’s gaze was exceptionally cold, her beautiful eyes flashing with anger. “Think carefully before you speak.”

Jiang Mengyu closed her mouth, but the fingers hanging at her side curled up.

A moment later, she lowered her head and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that.”

No matter what, she shouldn’t have brought this up in public. If someone had heard, Chi Jingyan’s reputation would have been ruined.

This was the thing Chi Jingyan hated most, yet Jiang Mengyu dared to use it to threaten her. Chi Jingyan was so angry she wanted to slap her a couple of times, but considering that there were people around, she held back and didn’t make a move.

“There won’t be a next time,” her voice was filled with a bone-chilling coldness.

“Mmm,” Jiang Mengyu paused, then said softly, “I was wrong.”

She was quick to admit her mistake.

Chi Jingyan actually knew why Jiang Mengyu had suddenly gone crazy. An Alpha would feel possessive of the person they had marked. The higher the level of the Alpha, the stronger this possessiveness in their bones would be. Not to mention that Jiang Mengyu already had some improper thoughts about her.

For her to witness her getting along with Chu Muyao was indeed a great stimulation for Jiang Mengyu.

But this was precisely Chi Jingyan’s goal.

She just wanted to make Jiang Mengyu see clearly that it was absolutely impossible for her to be with her. Even if it wasn’t Chu Muyao, it would be someone else. In short, it would not be her, Jiang Mengyu.

Thinking of this, Chi Jingyan’s mood slowly calmed down. She was still thinking about how to make Jiang Mengyu face reality, but she subconsciously ignored the hidden joy and pride deep in her heart.

Jiang Mengyu’s madness was very annoying to Chi Jingyan, but it was also because she loved Chi Jingyan. Love made people jealous and resentful. The more out of control and crazy Jiang Mengyu was, the more it proved that she had Chi Jingyan in her heart.

Chi Jingyan snorted. “Let’s go.”

She turned and walked toward the classroom, her back exuding an air of pride.

Jiang Mengyu quietly watched Chi Jingyan’s back, the expression in her eyes dark and unreadable.

She admitted that her personality was indeed very bad. The more she was told not to do something, the more she wanted to try it.

For example, now, the more Chi Jingyan looked down on her, the more she wanted to try to pluck this ice queen.

Imagine, Chi Jingyan going crazy because of her. It should be even more moving than now, right?
