After Transmigrating Into A Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character, The Female Lead Was Reborn - Chapter 3

The instant Lin Wan stepped into the pharmacy, Gu Qingjia sensed a subtle shift in the air.

She thought she… caught a whiff of her goddess’s presence.

A thrill surged from the depths of Gu Qingjia’s soul, making her tremble with excitement. It felt like she was once again under the gaze of her goddess!

Gu Qingjia’s hand paused slightly as she reached for the medicine, then tentatively loosened her grip.

The glass bottle crashed to the floor with a sharp clatter. Tiny shards of glass pierced Gu Qingjia’s pale ankle, drawing blood instantly. The crimson streaks stood out starkly against her porcelain skin, a shocking contrast.

Yet Gu Qingjia didn’t react immediately, as if waiting for something. Only when a flustered employee rushed over to ask if she was alright did Gu Qingjia calmly shake her head, indicating she could handle the situation herself.

A wave of disappointment washed over Gu Qingjia. After a few seconds, she finally knelt down to clean up the mess with detached composure.

“Still clinging to hope?” Gu Qingjia murmured to herself, her gaze lowered. “The moment I blasphemed against the gods, I was already forsaken.”

She was no longer the favored child, and miracles would never grace her life again. This lifetime was destined to be filled with thorns and trials. She was no longer the radiant child of her previous life; in this world, she could only trust in her own strength.

She was powerful. Gu Qingjia expressionlessly gathered the shards of glass, cleaned her wounds, and walked toward the cashier with the payment slip.

Her eyes were devoid of emotion, as if nothing in this world could capture her attention. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, on this otherwise ordinary evening, her heart began to race violently. The divine aura grew increasingly intense, surging toward Gu Qingjia. As she endured the maddening pain of longing, she found herself sinking deeper into its embrace.

Another hallucination, Gu Qingjia thought.

But this time, the Deity’s presence didn’t fade away. Gu Qingjia could even sense the bond between them growing clearer, little by little.

Gu Qingjia’s head snapped up, and she saw a slender figure standing before her.
The girl wore an oversized coat, her school uniform faintly visible beneath the folds. Despite her frail appearance, the bond between them felt so… profound.

It’s the Deity’s presence!

Gu Qingjia suppressed her excitement and repeatedly confirmed her senses. A crack finally appeared in her usually impassive expression. Just as she was pondering how to approach the girl, the slender figure swayed, as if about to collapse.

Gu Qingjia quickly stepped forward to steady Lin Wan’s tilting body. The moment their skin touched, a long-dormant joy and elation surged through Gu Qingjia’s veins!

It was as if a sea fish had finally found its home waters, or a wave had crashed against the reef where it belonged. Gu Qingjia had drifted aimlessly through this life, seemingly cursed by some unknown force to suffer blows and hardship along a predetermined path. This time, she no longer had the protection of a deity; she would have to overcome every obstacle on her own.

Gu Qingjia lowered her gaze to Lin Wan, wondering what had happened to her deity to leave her so weakened.

Lin Wan’s lips were pale, her eyes tightly shut, and her brow furrowed in pain. Her face burned with fever. A pharmacy worker stepped forward to check her temperature. “Her fever is quite high,” the worker said. “I think she should go to the hospital.”

“Did this customer come alone?” another worker asked, peering over. Gu Qingjia paused, then replied, “We’re together. We’re classmates. I’ll take her to the hospital.”

“Alright, alright. I’ve already called a taxi. Let’s get her to the hospital right away.” The pharmacy worker arranged for a taxi to take Gu Qingjia and Lin Wan to the hospital for treatment.

Gu Qingjia felt the divine aura she would never forget, etched into her very soul. Lin Wan’s warm breath tickled her ear, and Gu Qingjia’s heart pounded uncontrollably.

Deity…

Her deity.

If her deity was now so weakened, could she…?

The car sped toward the hospital, the scenery blurring past the window. In Gu Qingjia’s eyes, madness and desire intertwined relentlessly. A dark fissure cracked open in her heart, and beast-like pupils flashed from behind the chasm. Her palms grew clammy, but every nerve in her body trembled with feverish excitement, screaming:

Mine! Mine! Mine!

A thick, inky obsession devoured Gu Qingjia’s reason until the car lurched to a sudden halt.

Momentum threw Gu Qingjia and Lin Wan forward. Instinctively, Gu Qingjia braced her arm to cushion Lin Wan’s fall, shielding her from even the slightest harm.

“We’re here. Let’s get you to the emergency room, young lady,” the driver said. “Your friend looks pretty sick.”

“Okay, thank you,” Gu Qingjia replied, her eyes regaining their clarity. She helped Lin Wan out of the car. The hospital staff had already been notified, and medical personnel quickly and safely transferred Lin Wan to emergency treatment, with Gu Qingjia coordinating with them.

Gu Qingjia stayed close to Lin Wan, feeling the bond between them. She buried the dark, yearning emotions deep within her heart, her face returning to its usual detached composure, leaving only a faint smile in her eyes, making her appear docile and obedient.

This is the kind of girl the Deity would like, right? Gu Qingjia thought, smoothing her hair to resemble her previous life’s innocent appearance. She had practiced this look in the mirror hundreds of times, finally recapturing the feeling of being the pure, delicate school beauty she once was.

Perfect.

Gu Qingjia composed her icy expression, striving to embody a pure, fragile little flower.

The Deity will still choose to protect me in this life, right? Gu Qingjia wondered uncertainly.

When Lin Wan woke up, the first thing she saw was her sweet daughter sitting beside her bed, leaning slightly toward her, her eyes filled with genuine concern that was both innocent and measured.

“Are you feeling any better, classmate?” Gu Qingjia asked, leaning closer. The girl’s supple waist seemed to radiate a core strength, an unconscious display of youthful softness that added an indescribable allure to her presence.

Lin Wan felt her heart skip several beats. The girl’s tenderness was like sweet syrup, stirring up a blissful warmth within her. The person before her radiated an overwhelming attraction, as if trying to pull Lin Wan into a powerful current. A crimson heat surged through her limbs, and her face flushed crimson.

Lin Wan involuntarily held her breath.

She she she she she’s so beautiful!

“I’m… I’m feeling a little better now,” Lin Wan stammered, snapping back to reality. She realized she was lying in a hospital bed, an IV drip attached to her arm. Her fever had subsided slightly, making her feel less miserable. “Thank you.”

Perhaps it was because she was sick, or because she was alone in this world, knowing only Gu Qingjia, but Lin Wan found Gu Qingjia unusually reliable.

“I see you’re wearing the No. 1 High School uniform. Are you a student there too?” Gu Qingjia asked casually, her hands moving smoothly as she poured a cup of warm water. She checked the temperature with the back of her hand before handing it to Lin Wan. “Be careful, it’s still a bit hot.”

My daughter is so thoughtful! Lin Wan thought, her heart swelling with warmth. If her emotions could materialize into a tiny figure, it would be rolling around on the bed, hugging a pillow in sheer delight. But Lin Wan wanted to maintain a sliver of composure in front of Gu Qingjia. She propped herself up, accepted the warm water with a gentle smile, her eyes curving into crescents. “Thank you.”

Lin Wan’s gaze followed Gu Qingjia intently, her curiosity burning.

She was utterly fascinated by Gu Qingjia. She wondered about the future trajectory of the paper-thin character she had once cared for, about Gu Qingjia’s current life, and about all the foreshadowing the author had left unwritten. Now that Lin Wan had survived her immediate crisis, her desire to explore this world was bubbling uncontrollably to the surface.

Gu Qingjia felt Lin Wan’s gaze drawn to her, and a faint joy bloomed in her heart. But…

Did her Deity still recognize her? Was she… the only one favored by the Deity?

“You…”

“You…”

Gu Qingjia and Lin Wan spoke simultaneously, like fingertips brushing accidentally while picking flowers. The subtle collision sparked a quiet joy that slowly spread from their fingertips through their entire bodies. Lin Wan’s eyes shimmered with a gentle ripple. “What… were you about to say?”

“Oh, I was just wondering if you’re also a student at No. 1 High School?” Gu Qingjia’s gaze darted away from Lin Wan’s, unsure what answer she wanted to hear. But it didn’t matter. Just to regain her Deity’s attention for a moment—even a single second—was enough to fill her with quiet, contented joy.

“Yes, I am,” Lin Wan replied, observing Gu Qingjia. Her delicate features resembled spring willows, their graceful curves like mountain peaks softened by mist. Her gentle, obedient demeanor made her seem like a precious fairy, one Lin Wan would hold carefully in her hands, afraid to drop her, or keep in her mouth, afraid she would melt. Lin Wan trusted Gu Qingjia implicitly. “I’m Lin Wan, a first-year student.”

“What a coincidence! I’m Gu Qingjia, also a freshman at No. 1 High School,” Gu Qingjia said, her face lighting up with just the right amount of surprise. “Though I don’t think I’ve seen you around before.”

“Maybe I’m just not very noticeable,” Lin Wan replied with a smile.

While the original host had been a good student, she truly lacked presence, unlike Gu Qingjia, who excelled academically and possessed both exceptional looks and a charming personality.

My girl must be really popular in high school, right?

Gu Qingjia was such a kind person; she must have many admirers. But Lin Wan couldn’t help worrying about whether others might bully her. After all, her girl was so delicate and frail, like a willow swaying in the breeze. Even as a child, jealous people had tried to harm her. If Lin Wan hadn’t spent money to shield her from those troubles, who knew what might have happened to her by now?

The memories Lin Wan had inherited were from the original host’s perspective, so her understanding was naturally limited to what the original host knew. The original host’s social circle had been quite closed off, with few sources of information. She had only dared to glance at Gu Qingjia when Gu Qingjia spoke from the podium during school assemblies, so she knew little about Gu Qingjia’s current situation.

Lin Wan felt both pleased that her girl was so popular and a pang of bittersweetness. She couldn’t quite explain the feeling, but perhaps it was because she didn’t want those malicious people to interfere with Gu Qingjia’s studies.

“Oh, right, you forgot to ring for the doctor when you woke up just now.” Gu Qingjia stood up to reach for the call button at the head of Lin Wan’s bed. With each movement, she seemed to lean closer, her breath carrying a blush of intent. Lin Wan’s nose nearly brushed against Gu Qingjia’s soft, graceful neck. She even held her breath, afraid her own breath might disturb the smooth, swan-like curve of the girl’s neck.

Gu Qingjia lowered her gaze and saw Lin Wan carefully inhaling and exhaling in the small space where she was physically restrained, like a little fish secretly blowing bubbles, terrified her breath might offend Gu Qingjia in the slightest.

So cute, Gu Qingjia thought, the corners of her lips curving upward slightly.
