I Just Want to be a Throwaway Character - Chapter 79

Chapter 79: World Four (End)

Ji Wan found that she was somewhat overwhelmed by the unexpected flavor of this meal. To put it a bit exaggeratedly, Lu Fanghan’s thoughtfulness was excessive…

Even though Ling Qian had only come over midway to give a polite greeting, it didn’t stop Lu Fanghan from “casually” interclasping fingers with her while she was eating heartily.

This display of sovereignty…

“…” Ji Wan temporarily didn’t know what to say. It was eyesore-inducing… truly, it was completely unnecessary!!!

But Lu Fanghan who fussed over such small things seemed just a little bit cute.

Luo Jinqian saw through Lu Fanghan’s thoughts, but she only smiled and used an excuse to leave. She didn’t say much more.

Once Lu Fanghan confirmed that Luo Jinqian posed no threat to her at all, she stopped those strange movements and began to focus on the grand task of feeding Ji Wan.

When this rather greasy and sappy meal finally ended, they walked back on the road. It was already very late, and there was basically no one else on the street besides them.

“Lu Fanghan, what’s wrong with you tonight? You were so strange.” Ji Wan asked the question she had wanted to ask for a long time.

But Lu Fanghan did not answer immediately. She stopped her pace, turned around, and looked down at Ji Wan.

Their eyes met, and only then did Lu Fanghan speak slowly: “I was confirming one thing.”

“What thing?” Ji Wan asked in confusion.

A doting smile curled at the corners of Lu Fanghan’s mouth. While Ji Wan was blankly waiting for her answer, she leaned in and gently placed a kiss on Ji Wan’s cheek. “Confirming the fact that you belong to me alone.”

The bright moonlight suddenly printed itself onto the side of Lu Fanghan’s face as she said this. For a moment, it made one’s heart race.

“You…” Ji Wan hurriedly covered her face. A tender pink flush bloomed on her cheeks.

This “closet romantic” Lu Fanghan why did she suddenly say something that sounded so much like a love confession!!!

———- Two Years Later ————

Ji Wan successfully graduated from Stellan Academy.

Lu Fanghan had graduated a year early and entered the Imperial Magician Team. Later, she returned to the family to take over Grandfather Lu’s family business.

Although Lu Fanghan had become busy, she still stayed with Ji Wan in the campus dormitory. Even if they could only see each other a few days a week, Ji Wan was very satisfied.

Today was Ji Wan’s graduation ceremony.

For the past few days, Lu Fanghan had been so busy she was nowhere to be seen. Although Ji Wan knew Lu Fanghan was truly busy, she still felt a small sense of loss.

It was her graduation ceremony, after all. Yet, Lu Fanghan said that business had suddenly increased and she might not be able to make it.

Thinking of the light instructions Lu Fanghan gave while hugging her before leaving, a strange thought suddenly popped into Ji Wan’s head: “Has she grown tired of me?”

And the more she thought about it, the more it felt right…

“No, no… isn’t it just that I’m a little bit clingy to Lu Fanghan usually…” Ji Wan didn’t even believe her own words.

A little bit…

Thinking of how she became incredibly clingy the moment she saw Lu Fanghan, Ji Wan’s cheeks reddened with a guilty conscience.

Knock, knock… The sound of knocking rang out.

Accompanied by Ouyang Keke’s crisp and pleasant voice.

“Wanwan, are you ready?” Ouyang Keke’s voice came from outside the door.

Only then did Ji Wan suddenly snap out of it. She hurriedly patted her cheeks, trying to hide the blush. Realizing the ceremony time was approaching, Ji Wan hurriedly stood up and ran toward the door.

“Coming, coming.”

“Wanwan, why are you wearing your usual clothes? You need to dress more grandly today!” Ouyang Keke hurriedly stopped her upon seeing Ji Wan’s usual attire.

“What’s wrong? Doesn’t this look fine?” Ji Wan looked at her clothes and turned to Ouyang Keke strangely.

Why did Keke seem so strange today? It was as if she were hiding something from her.

“Are you hiding something from me?” Ji Wan asked, looking into Ouyang Keke’s eyes.

“Uh… anyway, you have to dress more formally. This is your graduation ceremony!” Ouyang Keke averted her gaze, deliberately pretending to be serious.

“Ah!! Damn Shang Yanxi. Why make me lie to Wanwan!! And he didn’t even say what it was for,” Ouyang Keke thought guiltily. In her heart, she wished she could turn her hands into claws and scratch a mark on Shang Yanxi’s handsome face.

“Hmm really?” Ji Wan narrowed her eyes.

Ouyang Keke swallowed hard. “Wanwan, there’s no more time! I brought a dress for you!”

As she spoke, Ouyang Keke hurriedly handed the dress Shang Yanxi had entrusted to her over to Ji Wan, as if it were a hot potato.

In the end, Ji Wan couldn’t resist Ouyang Keke’s soft and hard pestering. Seeing that time was running out, she changed into the formal dress Ouyang Keke had handed her.

Once she put on the white cocktail dress that looked very expensive, Ji Wan didn’t even have time to see the effect on herself before she was pulled by Ouyang Keke to the hall where the ball had been held previously.

Ji Wan simply tied up her loose hair with a white silk ribbon. Even without makeup, her appearance was beautiful enough to make one’s heart stop. She looked like a little fairy who had fallen into the mortal realm.

As she pushed open the doors to the hall, Ji Wan felt as if she had accidentally entered a fairyland. Flowers decorated every corner. It was clear that it had been decorated with great care.

After the initial amazement, Ji Wan suddenly realized wasn’t she supposed to be at a graduation party?

Ji Wan looked toward the center of the hall in confusion. Isn’t today the graduation ceremony? Where were the people? Why wasn’t there a single person?

Ji Wan turned around strangely, wanting to ask Keke, but she was nowhere to be found.

Suddenly, footsteps rang out. Ji Wan looked toward the direction of the sound in confusion.

She saw that, against the light, a person walked in, stepping through the glow. She was also wearing a white dress and holding a bouquet of pure white lilies in her hands. She walked toward Ji Wan step by step.

Looking at the familiar face, Ji Wan’s heart suddenly began to beat wildly.

Looking at Lu Fanghan, who stopped a few meters away from her, Ji Wan could no longer restrain the longing from not seeing her for several days. Regardless of her image, she ran over and threw herself into Lu Fanghan’s open embrace.

Smelling the familiar fragrance on Lu Fanghan, Ji Wan greedily sniffed.

“Didn’t you say you weren’t coming?” Ji Wan said softly, buried in Lu Fanghan’s embrace. Her tone unconsciously carried a hint of acting spoiled.

Lu Fanghan tightened her arm around Ji Wan with one hand and lightly kissed the hair at Ji Wan’s forehead.

“I… came to break the engagement,” Lu Fanghan said softly.

Feeling Ji Wan’s body suddenly stiffen, Lu Fanghan held her tighter and continued with a smile, “So I’ve come to beg you to marry me. Don’t be Lu Fanghan’s fiancée anymore—be Lu Fanghan’s wife, okay?”

“You… sob, you scared me to death.” Ji Wan’s voice carried a hint of crying. She hammered Lu Fanghan’s chest with some annoyance. Just now, hearing about breaking the engagement, she had struggled to keep herself from sobbing out loud.

“Alright, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have joked with you.” Lu Fanghan lightly patted Ji Wan’s back.

Then, she gently took Ji Wan’s hand and knelt on one knee. “So, Miss Ji, are you willing to become my wife?”

Lu Fanghan raised her head, looking at Ji Wan tenderly. In that instant, beautiful music began to play.

“Promise her! Promise her!…”

A crowd suddenly poured in—some people she knew, some she didn’t. Ji Wan’s face flushed instantly. With so many people, it was quite embarrassing.

She just looked at Lu Fanghan, who was gazing at her with deep affection.

“Okay,” Ji Wan replied with a shy, gentle nod.

In an instant, petals of various colors fell from the ceiling of the hall. Lu Fanghan tenderly handed the lilies to Ji Wan, and then, a ring appeared in her hand out of nowhere.

Lu Fanghan gently put it on Ji Wan.

“From now on, you are my wife alone.” Lu Fanghan stood up and hugged Ji Wan fiercely. Her voice carried an irrepressible excitement.

Finally, amidst a burst of cheers, Lu Fanghan gently kissed Ji Wan’s lips.

Ouyang Keke stood on the second floor of the hall looking down at Ji Wan and the others in the center, feeling a bit dazed. She looked at Shang Yanxi beside her and couldn’t help but question him in a huff.

“You! Surname Shang! You lied to me. Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”

When she saw Lu Fanghan proposing, Ouyang Keke felt inexplicably more nervous than Ji Wan. Although she was very happy that Wanwan was getting married, Ouyang Keke just felt a strange sense of being used.

Shang Yanxi looked at the huffy Ouyang Keke and found it somewhat amusing, gently patting her head.

“If I had told you, could you guarantee you wouldn’t tell Ji Wan?”

“Humph, whatever, I’m ignoring you,” Ouyang Keke turned away and ignored Shang Yanxi.

“Alright, don’t be angry anymore. Look at your hand,” Shang Yanxi said, pinching Ouyang Keke’s cute little face.

“Look at what?” Ouyang Keke raised her hand in confusion.

A dazzling gemstone ring had been placed on her hand at some unknown point.

“This is?” Ouyang Keke looked at Shang Yanxi. In her eyes, there was disbelief, followed by a look of surprise and joy.

Ouyang Keke covered her mouth with one hand. She seriously confirmed it again and again is this real?

“So, Miss Ouyang, do you want to marry me too?” Shang Yanxi replied, mimicking Lu Fanghan’s tone.

But Ouyang Keke put on a reserved appearance, turning her head and not looking at Shang Yanxi. She replied arrogantly, “Humph, who wants to marry you? You even piggybacked off Wanwan’s proposal.”

But despite saying that, Ouyang Keke’s eyes kept wandering back to the ring on her hand. Her face turned red.

Shang Yanxi laughed softly and hugged Ouyang Keke from behind.

“Who was the one who kept saying ‘wait a bit longer, I’m in no rush to marry’?”

“That… that was because…” Ouyang Keke was momentarily unable to refute him. Who told Shang Yanxi to be like a big block of wood? Even after starting a relationship, he was the same as before. Who would want to agree?

“Really not marrying? Then I’ll take the ring back,” Shang Yanxi teased, making a move as if to take the ring away.

“You dare!!” Ouyang Keke hurriedly protected the ring, her hair standing on end.

“So that means you agree?” Shang Yanxi hugged Ouyang Keke tightly.

“It’s not entirely impossible to marry you,” Ouyang Keke replied awkwardly.

“Hmm~ are you unwilling to marry me?” Shang Yanxi continued to tease.

“Shang Yanxi, you… don’t go too far, mmm”

Ouyang Keke’s eyes widened as she looked at Shang Yanxi’s lips that had suddenly moved closer.

………….

As for Su Li and Luo Bing, they watched Lu Fanghan and Ji Wan below with smiles, sharing a look.

“Young people these days really have a lot of fancy ideas,” Su Li sighed with emotion.

Luo Bing looked at a certain person acting like an elder and found it somewhat funny.

“I wonder who it was back then, running to my house every day saying they wanted to marry me,” Luo Bing replied indifferently, a smile touching her lips.

“Then didn’t I turn you into Mrs. Su very early on?” Su Li held Luo Bing’s waist and turned her head with a smile.

Suddenly, her waist felt a sharp pain. Su Li’s face instantly stiffened.

“Heh, it was only because of your pestering,” Luo Bing’s face turned red, and she turned to leave.

“But you never rejected me.” Su Li laughed and grabbed Luo Bing’s hand, laughing softly as she saw her reddened earlobes. She left with her.

Ji Wan spent a very long time in this world with Lu Fanghan. It was happy and warm.

When Ji Wan finally closed her eyes in Lu Fanghan’s arms, Lu Fanghan’s expression did not show much joy or sorrow. She gently kissed Ji Wan’s forehead.

“We will definitely meet again.”
