After Transmigrating Into a Cannon Fodder, I Got a Happy Ending with the Female Lead [Transmigration Into a Novel] - Chapter 27

After lying there for a while, her memories gradually became clearer. Yue Xi sprang up from the bed with a nudge and glanced at Xiao Qing, who was still asleep, her mind in chaos.

The girl’s sleeping face was serene, her lips lightly pursed as she breathed through her nose. The steady sound of her breathing echoed in the quiet hospital room. Her long hair fell softly to one side, almost touching the ground.

It must be a false memory. How could Xiao Qing possibly…

Recalling the scene of the monster being crushed, combined with Xiao Qing’s usually delicate and gentle personality, Yue Xi found it difficult to connect the two.

The hospital room door opened, and Ji Shuang and Pei Ying walked in. Seeing that Xiao Qing hadn’t woken up yet, Ji Shuang made a shushing gesture toward Pei Ying, then quietly asked Yue Xi, “Daoist, how are you feeling?”

Yue Xi, still thinking about last night, replied, “I’m fine. Thank you for bringing us to the hospital.”

Ji Shuang waved her hand, saying, “Don’t mention it. You got hurt protecting us; it’s only natural.”

Yue Xi thought, perhaps it wasn’t them, but you—Xiao Qing might not even need anyone to protect her.

The more she thought about it, the stranger it felt. She asked Ji Shuang, “How much do you remember about yesterday?”

“We went to the villa to exorcise, then suddenly a monster appeared. You fought it alone to protect me and Xiao Qing, and Xiao Qing, worried about you, ran in. That’s how both of you got hurt.”

Yue Xi suspected some details were being overlooked, so she carefully asked, “Is it possible that Xiao Qing isn’t as weak as we think and that she was the one who saved us?”

Ji Shuang froze for a moment, then asked, “You mean the one who killed the monster was Xiao Qing, not you?”

Yue Xi nodded.

Ji Shuang exchanged a glance with Pei Ying and said, “Maybe we should call the doctor for another check. I feel like… maybe something’s off in your head.” She pointed to her own head.

Yue Xi: “…”

She also thought it seemed impossible, but her memory was so vivid. Could it have been influenced by the monster?

“Why would you have such a ridiculous idea?” Ji Shuang asked. “Is Xiao Qing someone who can fight a monster?”

Yue Xi was stumped, wondering if she really had been influenced by the monster.

“She’s awake. You can ask her yourself.”

Yue Xi looked at Xiao Qing. The girl, drowsy, looked at her and softly asked, “Sister, are you okay?”

Yue Xi shook her head and said she was fine, then hesitantly asked, “Was it you who killed the monster last night?”

Xiao Qing looked completely confused, her big eyes full of puzzlement.

“Sister, what are you talking about?”

Yue Xi could see that she truly remembered nothing and silently wondered if her memory was really distorted.

Ji Shuang explained, “Your sister said you fought the monster last night and killed it spectacularly.”

Xiao Qing didn’t remember, but in her heart, she felt aversion toward such descriptions. She just wanted to hide behind her sister and be someone who was protected.

“Does that mean you think I’m useless and dragged you down?”

Yue Xi quickly explained, “Absolutely not. My mind is just muddled with some chaotic memories. You don’t have to take it to heart.”

Xiao Qing nodded, though her expression still seemed slightly unhappy.

Ji Shuang quickly tried to lighten the mood. “Xiao Qing, what do you want to eat? Sister will go buy it for you.”

Xiao Qing, despite being annoyed, still wanted food. After listing several things she wanted, Ji Shuang and Pei Ying went out to get lunch, leaving the room in silence.

The quiet was so unusual that Yue Xi felt uncomfortable.

“Xiao Qing, are you mad?”

Xiao Qing wrapped herself in the blanket, leaving only her eyes exposed.

“No.”

That meant she was indeed angry; otherwise, she wouldn’t have replied with just two words. Yue Xi got off the bed and crouched by her side.

“Don’t be mad, okay? Sister isn’t saying that you’re a burden.”

Xiao Qing shrank further into the blanket, her voice low, “Really? I don’t believe you.”

Yue Xi patted her head and asked, “Then what would make you believe me?”

Xiao Qing: “Kiss me, and I’ll believe you.”

Before Yue Xi could react, Xiao Qing reached up, hooking her around the neck, and kissed her.

Her lips were soft as ever. Yue Xi was about to savor the moment when Xiao Qing suddenly let go.

The girl’s beautiful eyes curved like crescent moons, tiny stars of light in them.

“Now I believe you.”

Yue Xi’s heart suddenly started racing. Her gaze lingered on Xiao Qing’s moist, pink lips, and countless urges in her mind demanded she kiss her again.

Xiao Qing saw Yue Xi’s intense gaze and called out in confusion. Yue Xi snapped back to reality and quickly shifted her eyes elsewhere.

Luckily, she almost lost control.

“What are you thinking about?” Xiao Qing asked.

Blushing, Yue Xi replied awkwardly, “We should go wash up.”

Xiao Qing agreed, letting go of her and sitting up. The oversized hospital gown made her look even smaller, her collarbones exposed, her porcelain skin glowing.

Yue Xi quickly went to the bathroom, splashing cold water on her face to calm down.

She’s only fifteen or sixteen! How could she—oh, I’m a beast!

Xiao Qing opened the door and entered; the narrow bathroom suddenly felt tight, their bodies almost pressed together.

Xiao Qing squeezed toothpaste onto her brush, brushed once, and wrinkled her nose.

“Ugh, so bitter.”

It wasn’t the toothpaste she was used to at home—it had a bitter taste, and she couldn’t stand it.

Yue Xi watched her little wrinkled face and couldn’t help but smile.

Of course, such an adorable child could never be the monster in her memories. She couldn’t even tolerate the bitterness of toothpaste. The memories must have been tampered with.

Yue Xi brushed her teeth with her, and as they finished and turned to leave, her arm was suddenly grabbed. She turned to see Xiao Qing on tiptoe, offering her lips again.

“Sister, that kiss before doesn’t count. Kiss me properly this time.”

Yue Xi didn’t know what “properly” meant, but when their lips met, she instinctively opened Xiao Qing’s mouth with hers.

Their mouths were filled with the taste of toothpaste, cool and refreshing. Yue Xi’s tongue entwined with hers, and their breathing synchronized.

Xiao Qing wrapped her arms around Yue Xi’s waist, gradually losing strength. Yue Xi held her back with one hand, the other hand cupping her head, keeping her steady.

The kiss lasted a long time, so long that Xiao Qing’s legs weakened, almost unable to stand, relying entirely on Yue Xi to stay upright.

Sensing her rapid breathing, Yue Xi reluctantly let go and held her in her arms.

Xiao Qing lay softly against her chest, hands pressed to her own chest, like a nursing kitten.

“Feeling better?”

Xiao Qing softly hummed, then asked, “Sister Shuang said kissing can make babies. Would I have a little baby?”

Yue Xi’s face instantly flushed. Her heart raced. How could she be so adorable? She…

Realizing her own inappropriate thoughts, Yue Xi silently recited calming spells, then stroked Xiao Qing’s head. “Ji Shuang is talking nonsense. Don’t listen to her.”

“Oh, okay.” Xiao Qing sounded a little disappointed.

Yue Xi noticed her thoughts were wrong and quickly explained, “Having a baby is very painful. You wouldn’t want to go through it.”

Xiao Qing looked up at her, eyes sparkling. “I know, but if it’s Sister’s baby, I’d want to.”

Yue Xi, who had just calmed down, felt her heart start pounding again. She swallowed nervously and led her out.

If this continued, she really wouldn’t be able to resist.

Xiao Qing hugged her arm, pressing close, almost sitting on her lap. Yue Xi wrapped an arm around her thin waist, letting her snuggle.

At that moment, Ji Shuang and Pei Ying returned. As soon as the door opened, Ji Shuang’s eyes widened.

“Beast! Let go of Xiao Qing!”

It was short, but not too short.
