The Awakened Cannon Fodder Beauty [Quick Transmigration] 90p2

Chapter 90p2: The Vicious Supporting Female Character in a Romance Novel (43)

When Gu Lanqiu woke up, it was 3:30 in the morning.

A soft light was on in the hospital room, and the electrocardiogram monitor was beeping. When Gu Lanqiu opened her eyes, she was in a daze for a long while before she came back to her senses.

“You’re awake,” a familiar voice sounded in her ear, which made Gu Lanqiu’s originally somewhat chaotic mind suddenly become much clearer.

“Yuyu…” Only after she had spoken did she realize that her voice was extremely hoarse.

The person beside her did not speak again. Gu Lanqiu turned her head and saw that Jiang Mengyu was sitting not far away, quietly looking at her.

The memories from before she had fainted rushed at Gu Lanqiu. The last impact, she seemed to have hit her head.

Gu Lanqiu’s heart immediately tightened. She subconsciously raised her hand and touched her forehead. When her fingertips touched the slightly rough texture of the gauze, her fingers clearly trembled.

Would her face be scarred?

If she became ugly, would Jiang Mengyu still like her?

Her thoughts were all written on her face.

Jiang Mengyu also hadn’t expected that the thing that Gu Lanqiu was most concerned about after she had woken up was actually this.

A crack suddenly appeared on the calm mask. Jiang Mengyu’s heart also seemed to have something more in it, heavy, pulling her down.

She closed her eyes, reached out and pressed the call bell on the side. In a short while, a doctor and a nurse came in.

In front of outsiders, Gu Lanqiu had not shown any flaws. Only after she had been examined again and confirmed that there was nothing seriously wrong did everyone leave the hospital room in turn.

Gu Lanqiu had changed from lying down to leaning against the head of the bed.

Only after everyone had left did Jiang Mengyu speak again, “Gu Lanqiu.”

Gu Lanqiu’s long lashes trembled. She turned her head and did not look at Jiang Mengyu, her voice very soft. “When did you come?”

Jiang Mengyu’s face also had a faint weariness. When Gu Lanqiu had woken up, she had seen her sitting on the side, not like she had just arrived, but more like she had been waiting for a long time.

It was just that Gu Lanqiu did not dare to guess that possibility, afraid that she was being sentimental.

Would Jiang Mengyu care if she lived or died?

“Gu Lanqiu,” Jiang Mengyu did not answer her question, but called her by her name again.

Her tone was different from her usual calmness. It seemed to have a hint of a heavy, indistinguishable emotion. “What are you trying to do?”

The chaotic thoughts in her mind were suddenly interrupted. Gu Lanqiu had a feeling of being exposed and was at a loss. She pursed her lips.

“What about you?”

Her eye sockets unconsciously turned red again. Seeing that Jiang Mengyu was not speaking, she asked again, “Why didn’t you leave?”

From yesterday until now, Jiang Mengyu should have had many opportunities to run away. Why had she not left?

Could it be… could it be that she also had a hint of lingering affection for her?

Jiang Mengyu stared at Gu Lanqiu without blinking. Gu Lanqiu did not dodge either. She looked at Jiang Mengyu with red eyes, and after a long while, she finally asked in a low voice, “Why?”

“There’s still half a month,” Jiang Mengyu replied out of context.

But Gu Lanqiu immediately understood what she meant. She was referring to their agreement, that there was still half a month left.

But that agreement had been proposed by Gu Lanqiu to make her compromise. Jiang Mengyu could completely not abide by it.

For her to stay for this reason could not convince Gu Lanqiu at all.

Her breathing became a little more rapid. Gu Lanqiu stared at Jiang Mengyu’s eyes. Two flames were rekindled in her eyes, like the sparkling starlight in the dark night sky, with a faint hope and longing.

Could it be that Jiang Mengyu was actually not as indifferent as she appeared? If she really didn’t care, she shouldn’t be here at this moment.

“Yuyu…”

Before Gu Lanqiu could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Jiang Mengyu.

“You haven’t answered my question from just now.”

“Gu Lanqiu, what are you trying to do?”

Gu Lanqiu immediately stopped speaking.

Jiang Mengyu’s face was expressionless. “I’ve seen the video from the dashcam.”

Gu Lanqiu had clearly intentionally turned the steering wheel and crashed. It was just that for some reason, she had changed her mind at the last moment and had stepped on the brakes, which was why it had not caused very serious consequences.

“You want to reenact the so-called plot of your previous life, and also break your own legs?”

“Gu Lanqiu, when did you become so naive?”

Gu Lanqiu did not deny it.

She could barely breathe in Jiang Mengyu’s sarcastic voice.

She turned her head to avoid Jiang Mengyu’s gaze. Gu Lanqiu’s lips moved. Just as she was about to speak, the person in front of her suddenly stood up. Her slender, cold, white hand grabbed the back of Gu Lanqiu’s neck, forcing her to look straight into her eyes.

“Look at me.”

Jiang Mengyu’s tone was very slow. “Gu Lanqiu, whether I remember or not, I was the one who saved your two legs.”

“When I saved you back then, I didn’t want you to destroy them again.”

Gu Lanqiu held her breath slightly. Her figure was exposed in Jiang Mengyu’s eyes. She was too close, close enough for Gu Lanqiu to see all the coldness and anger in her eyes.

She was angry.

Gu Lanqiu felt it.

But why was Jiang Mengyu angry?

Because she had deliberately hurt herself?

The body under her palm seemed to have trembled. Jiang Mengyu did not let go of her hand, but continued, “Don’t be stupid a second time.”

“Or is it that you hope our ending will also be the same as in our previous life?”

“Then what are you planning to do next time?”

“Start a fire and burn yourself to death?”

Before her voice had completely fallen, the person in front of her suddenly half-closed her eyes and leaned over, pressing her dry, soft, thin lips against the corner of Jiang Mengyu’s lips.

Jiang Mengyu’s voice suddenly stopped.

She did not dodge, but looked at Gu Lanqiu with an unreadable expression. The hand that was on the back of Gu Lanqiu’s neck tightened a few inches.

Gu Lanqiu’s neck was raised. Her heart was beating very fast, as if it would jump out of her chest. Her head was also dizzy, and her hands and feet began to go numb and out of her control.

Everything around her became blurry and distorted. Only the features of the person in front of her, and the temperature of her lips, were vivid and real.

She had not pushed her away.

The moment this realization appeared in Gu Lanqiu’s mind, she seemed to have also lost her hearing. After a long time, Gu Lanqiu finally clumsily and slowly tried to move her lips.

A wet touch brushed across her lips. Jiang Mengyu was motionless, letting Gu Lanqiu peck at her lower lip.

Her tacit and indulgent attitude made Gu Lanqiu even more certain of her guess. But after the huge surprise, what followed in Gu Lanqiu’s heart was unease and disbelief.

Was it really what she thought it was?

Could it be her illusion again?

At this thought, Gu Lanqiu raised her hand and carefully caressed Jiang Mengyu’s side profile. “Yuyu…”

She asked in a low voice, “Are you…”

Have you fallen for me a little?

Gu Lanqiu did not say the second half of the sentence. She was afraid that after she had asked, she would get an answer she did not want.

It turned out that she would also have such a day of being worried about gains and losses, of being indecisive.

Her fingertips landed on Jiang Mengyu’s face. She still did not dodge.

Gu Lanqiu’s eyes were extremely red, and her vision was shaky.

Jiang Mengyu stared at Gu Lanqiu’s face. A few seconds later, she suddenly asked out of the blue, “If you were really going to die last night, what would you have wanted to say to me?”

This question was very strange. Gu Lanqiu was stunned for a moment. She had a feeling that this question was very important to Jiang Mengyu, just like when she had asked her before what kind of nickname she would give her.

“I probably, wouldn’t say anything.”

Actually, she wanted to tell Jiang Mengyu that she loved her very much.

She also wanted to ask her if she had been moved by her a little, even if it was just a physical attraction. A little bit would be enough.

But if she didn’t get a response from Jiang Mengyu, she would probably die very unwillingly.

So she would not ask.

“I would give you a call, and then hang up.”

This way, she would forever remain in Jiang Mengyu’s heart.

In the future, whenever Jiang Mengyu thought of her, she would wonder what she had really wanted to say at the last moment.

Jiang Mengyu was speechless for a long time.

So was this what Jiang Wanjing had been thinking back then?

Gu Lanqiu did not know if her answer could satisfy Jiang Mengyu. She raised her head, about to look more closely at the expression in Jiang Mengyu’s eyes, when she heard her ask very softly:

“Gu Lanqiu, do you love me?”

A cool fingertip caressed Gu Lanqiu’s neck, so itchy that she subconsciously shivered.

The moisture in her eyes had not yet dissipated, but her gaze had become firm. The hand that was on the side of Jiang Mengyu’s face, Gu Lanqiu said word by word, “I love you.”

“You are the only one I have ever deeply loved, the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.”

[Ding! Mission target Gu Lanqiu’s favorability +5. Current total favorability: 294.]

After Gu Lanqiu finished speaking, like a criminal awaiting sentencing, she waited for Jiang Mengyu’s response with apprehension.

The hand on the back of her neck slowly withdrew. At the same time, Jiang Mengyu’s light and airy voice came.

“Then prove it to me.”

“How much you love me.”

…

The relationship between the two of them began to become a tacit understanding.

In the end, Gu Lanqiu did not ask the question “Then do you love me?” Perhaps she did not need to ask. Jiang Mengyu’s performance was enough to explain everything.

Because her injuries were not serious, Gu Lanqiu wanted to be discharged from the hospital the next day. She did not like the hospital environment, and it would remind her of many unpleasant things.

“I’m fine,” Gu Lanqiu kissed the corner of Jiang Mengyu’s lips. “Just have the doctor come to the house for regular check-ups.”

Jiang Mengyu averted her eyes. “As you wish.”

Gu Lanqiu knew that she was unhappy, but she just wanted to be with Jiang Mengyu, just the two of them, with no one else.

This time, the two of them did not go back to the villa on the mountainside, but to North Garden.

This was also proposed by Jiang Mengyu. Gu Lanqiu did not refuse.

She did not know why Jiang Mengyu wanted to go to North Garden, but as long as it could make her happy, she could go anywhere.

Gu Lanqiu was not afraid of the Zhou family coming to her door to ask for someone. What she was most afraid of was that Jiang Mengyu was unwilling to stay. But this time, it was Jiang Mengyu who had said it herself, to let her prove it.

This should mean that she was willing to give her a chance, right?

…

The room in the master bedroom of North Garden had not changed at all. It was still the same as in Jiang Mengyu’s memory.

Ever since she had left, Gu Lanqiu had also rarely stayed here. However, someone would come to clean it regularly, and there was no dust in the room.

Jiang Mengyu’s gaze swept around the room. Before she could speak, her shoulder was pressed by Gu Lanqiu, and her back was forced against the wall.

Jiang Mengyu paused but did not struggle.

Gu Lanqiu tentatively approached. Seeing that Jiang Mengyu did not dodge, she then pressed her fiery lips against hers.

Perhaps because she had been suppressed for a long time, she was more eager and passionate than ever before, as if she wanted to prove something through this method.

Jiang Mengyu let her bite her lips, only when Gu Lanqiu wanted to go a step further did she reach out and press against her shoulder. “Your arm doesn’t hurt anymore?”

Gu Lanqiu pursed her red and swollen lips. “Yuyu.”

“Then why don’t you come?”

Her voice was weak with a hint of hoarseness, but her eyes were as moist as spring water, her gaze always on Jiang Mengyu’s face.

“I miss you very much.”

After a few seconds of stalemate, Jiang Mengyu slowly relaxed her strength, tacitly agreeing to her approach.

She knew that Gu Lanqiu might not really want to do it, but just wanted to use this method to confirm her feelings.

Because the person in front of her was trembling all over.

Jiang Mengyu’s knuckles curled, and she wiped away the teardrop at the corner of Gu Lanqiu’s eye.

Tears welled up again. Gu Lanqiu’s heart was both sour and full, as if it had been filled with something.

The jasmine scent in her breath was so real. Gu Lanqiu had the illusion that the previous Jiang Mengyu had returned.

As she was in a daze, she suddenly heard Jiang Mengyu ask:

“Where is the Professor Markel I met last time?”
