After Transmigrating Into A Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character, The Female Lead Was Reborn - Chapter 6

“Let me take care of you!” Gu Qingjia blurted out, then quickly added, “I mean… would you want to move in with me? I live alone in my apartment, and I get scared sleeping by myself at night…”

Gu Qingjia did indeed live alone in an apartment near the university. Her parents had always been busy with work, providing her with ample living expenses but little personal attention. She’d been cared for by a series of nannies until she was old enough to request hourly workers who only came to clean and tidy up periodically. She handled everything else herself.

She was fiercely independent.

Lin Wan’s expression softened slightly, and Gu Qingjia immediately noticed the change.

“I’ve lived alone since I was little,” Gu Qingjia murmured, lowering her gaze. Her voice dropped, sounding like a kitten exposing its vulnerable white belly, mewling in a way that tugged at Lin Wan’s heartstrings. “It’s always been just me. I’ve always wished I had a friend to share my life with…”

“My apartment has two rooms. Let’s just consider it a shared living arrangement, okay? You can pay rent later, once you’re earning money…”

Gu Qingjia looked at Lin Wan with her wet, earnest eyes. Lin Wan had long since melted. She knew her girl was kindhearted, and she was grateful that Gu Qingjia had met her. Someone as pure and innocent as Gu Qingjia would likely have been taken advantage of and left with nothing by anyone else.

“Okay,” Lin Wan said. “I’ll pay the rent as soon as I can, and I’ll also reimburse you for the medicine from last time…”

“Mm-hmm!” Gu Qingjia smiled, her warmth softening Lin Wan’s heart.

In the nearby weeds, an Oblivion Grass had sprouted unnoticed. Its tips shimmered with honeyed sweetness, appearing like a defenseless prey. But when its true prey appeared, it would swiftly and ruthlessly discard its vulnerable facade, devouring the real target whole.

Gu Qingjia helped Lin Wan move some essentials, and Lin Wan would return in batches to transport the rest of her belongings.

When they arrived at Gu Qingjia’s apartment, the cold, minimalist decor revealed her lack of effort in maintaining the space. No matter how long she lived there, it never felt like home.

Lin Wan followed Gu Qingjia, her gaze drifting involuntarily to Gu Qingjia’s smooth, delicate neck before she quickly looked away.

Gu Qingjia’s apartment was a two-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom layout, with a small study included. If you really counted it, it could be considered a three-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom unit.

Gu Qingjia took the master bedroom, while Lin Wan settled into the guest room. Only when Lin Wan lay down on the soft, plush bed did the reality finally sink in:

She had actually moved in with her girl!

The guest room Lin Wan was staying in also came with a desktop computer. After asking, Gu Qingjia said she could borrow it.

Gu Qingjia had provided everything Lin Wan needed. Lin Wan opened the task app and saw that her mission progress had been updated. The “Find New Accommodation” task was marked as completed, earning her 1 point.

[Points: 5 (1 point deducted daily after midnight)]

[Main Quest: Confront Cao Chenghui, purify the surrounding learning environment, Points +3 (May trigger side quests)]

[Daily Quest: Give Xiao Jia a goodnight kiss. Points +1 (Special areas may yield bonus points!)]

Lin Wan’s gaze involuntarily drifted to the daily quest. She currently had only five points, and if her Main Quest wasn’t completed smoothly, she might have only a week left to live.

For Lin Wan, every day was a countdown to her survival, leaving no room for carelessness.

This daily quest felt like a life-saving elixir, with Gu Qingjia as the catalyst. If she could truly establish a goodnight kiss routine, she might gain some breathing room.

But…

Lin Wan hesitated, wondering if suggesting a goodnight kiss was too forward. Gu Qingjia had already helped her so much, yet she was still clinging to her like a mountain spirit, insisting on sucking her, pressing against her, and entangling her.

A blush slowly crept up Lin Wan’s cheeks. She wasn’t naturally clingy, but for some reason, when facing Gu Qingjia, she always felt an overwhelming sense of trust and a faint, lingering desire.

“Lin Wan,” Gu Qingjia said, poking her head in with a bag full of daily necessities. “These are toiletries. Shower gel and shampoo are in the bathroom. If you don’t mind, we can share.”

“Not at all! I don’t mind at all. Having a place to stay is already wonderful,” Lin Wan replied, quickly springing up from the bed and banishing her earlier blush-inducing thoughts, afraid Gu Qingjia might sense something. “Thank you.”

“No need to be so formal,” Gu Qingjia said with a smile. “Just let me know if you need anything.”

“Okay.”

Before bed, Lin Wan agonized over whether to skip her daily “goodnight kiss” quest. If things got too tough later, then… well, she’d decide then. Right now, she couldn’t bring herself to mooch Points off her girl.

Filled with excitement about having a place to stay and anticipation of living with her girl, Lin Wan slowly drifted off to sleep. Unbeknownst to her, Gu Qingjia remained awake long after.

Gu Qingjia tossed and turned for a long time before finally getting up. She went to the drawer beneath the window and pulled out an old diary, its pages yellowed with age.

She had bought the diary in elementary school. Although she had already been reborn by then, she wrote with her clumsy left hand throughout her elementary years, fearing unnecessary attention.

Even if someone were to discover it someday, she could dismiss it as childish fantasies from her youth.

Fantasies about having once been favored by a Deity.

Gu Qingjia flipped through the diary with a blank expression.

In her previous life, before her rebirth, she had always received the Deity’s help and encouraging words whenever she faced difficulties. The bond between them grew clearer over time, and Gu Qingjia gradually sensed her own distinct nature in this world. Finally, one day, her wish came true: she met the Deity.

When Gu Qingjia was reborn, there was no trace of the Deity by her side. It was as if everything had been a dream.

When Gu Qingjia returned to her elementary school days, she silently prayed for the Deity to appear.

If the Deity appears, I will serve her with all my heart.

“When will you come see me again?” little Gu Qingjia murmured to herself. “I’ve been bullied again.”

As Gu Qingjia dejectedly entered middle school, she began to tell herself silently, If the Deity appears, I will be very, very good to her.

“I’ve learned to protect myself now. When will you come visit me?” Gu Qingjia said. “Or just let me feel your presence… anything would be fine. I hate feeling disconnected.”

When Gu Qingjia entered high school—

“There’s no Deity in this world at all, is there?” Gu Qingjia had already hardened her shell. Her eyes shone with a self-reliant resilience, the shy innocence of her past now gone. “Even if there is, the Deity has abandoned me. I… I hate the Deity!”

Gu Qingjia gazed at the emotional shifts and fluctuations recorded in her diary. She reread the spiteful words she had written upon entering high school: If the Deity abandons me, I will find her again, imprison her, and tell her with my own lips that I hate her.

“I hate you,” Gu Qingjia murmured to herself.

The wild ambition within her heart had grown like rampant weeds. But with Lin Wan’s arrival, all her emptiness finally found its origin and destination.

Did Gu Qingjia hate Lin Wan? In truth, she did. The accumulated hopes and unspoken love had fermented like a pot of scalding, murky wine, slowly brewing and settling into a putrid, unspeakable flower of human malice.

She believed she had been abandoned. How could someone who has been abandoned deserve love?

Thus, she could only choose hatred, a sentiment deeper and more visceral than love, clinging to the stubborn belief that the Deity would eventually appear.

And the Deity had indeed appeared.

Gu Qingjia straightened up. Lin Wan was sleeping in the guest room of her house. If she resolved to imprison Lin Wan, she still possessed the strength and resources to do so. Lin Wan had no other relatives or friends and had always lived alone.

For anyone else to discover and rescue Lin Wan would be truly difficult.

For some reason, carrying such a secret, subtle, and cautious air, Gu Qingjia found herself standing unconsciously at Lin Wan’s bedside.
But when the moment actually arrived, Gu Qingjia hesitated.

She couldn’t bear it.

She actually wanted her Deity to be happy.

Even though the Deity had lost her memories, no longer remembered her, and had fallen to the mortal realm, Gu Qingjia still wished for her happiness.

How foolish, Gu Qingjia mocked herself.

Yet she remained at Lin Wan’s bedside for a long time, finally pressing a restrained and tender kiss to the corner of Lin Wan’s slightly flushed, reproachful eyes.

“Good night.”

I hope you’ll only be good to me.

You… can only be good to me.
