The Cannon Fodder Crazy Beauty Has Awakened [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 36.3

Now, the one feeling uneasy was Chi Jingyan herself.

System 031 had grown numb. Even just looking at Female Lead A’s eyes sent chills down its spine. It couldn’t shake the feeling that if the host kept provoking her like this, Female Lead A would eventually do something uncontrollable.

Back when the host was the crazy one, System 031 had found it terrifying. Now that the host had calmed down, Female Lead A was the one losing it. When would this cycle ever end?

Since Jiang Mengyu refused to cooperate, Chi Jingyan’s cat-girl outfit ultimately went unused. In the end, she changed back into her pajamas and held Jiang Mengyu as she slept, just like the night before.

By midnight, Chi Jingyan had fallen into a deep slumber.

Jiang Mengyu, however, opened her eyes clear and wide awake, devoid of any drowsiness.

She gently moved Chi Jingyan’s arm away from her, turned over, and quietly slipped out of bed. Barefoot, Jiang Mengyu stepped onto the floor without making a sound.

The door opened and closed as Jiang Mengyu moved through the dimly lit hallway. Though the surroundings were pitch black, she navigated effortlessly, never once bumping into anything.

System 031 grew nervous. [Host, are you finally planning to escape?]

Escape?

Not only did Jiang Mengyu have no such intention, but even if she did, there was nowhere she could realistically go.

This place was too remote. Without a car, she wouldn’t get far.

After descending the stairs, Jiang Mengyu began wandering aimlessly around the villa grounds. In the end, she didn’t go anywhere else instead, she made her way to the backyard, sitting on the swing and staring blankly at the moon in the sky.

Watching her, System 031 inexplicably felt that the host now exuded an aura of loneliness.

No!

System 031 reminded itself not to be foolish. Sympathizing with this wretched host would bring the system a lifetime of misfortune!

While Jiang Mengyu leisurely admired the moon, the main villa was brightly lit. Chi Jingyan, her long hair disheveled, looked as sinister as a vengeful ghost. “Where is she?”

Her voice was icy, but her eyes glistened with unshed tears. Even though she had long suspected Jiang Mengyu might try to escape, now that she was really gone, Chi Jingyan felt so heartbroken she could barely think straight.

She had said it herself, all Jiang Mengyu had to do was agree to reconcile. Yet Jiang Mengyu wouldn’t even lie to her, choosing instead to flee in the dead of night rather than compromise.

What would it take to make Jiang Mengyu change her mind?

“She’s in the backyard.” Zhou Heng watched Chi Jingyan’s teetering emotional state with growing concern.

The young mistress’s pheromones also seemed to be spiraling out of control.

Zhou Heng had long felt that Chi Jingyan’s mental state wasn’t right lately. Worried something might happen, he wanted to advise her, but Chi Jingyan gave him no chance to speak. The moment she heard Jiang Mengyu’s location, she turned and strode toward the back door, eventually breaking into a run.

Jiang Mengyu didn’t have to wait long before she saw Chi Jingyan rushing toward her in a frenzy.

The young mistress wasn’t wearing shoes either. By the time she reached Jiang Mengyu, her once-pristine feet were covered in dust, but she didn’t seem to notice. Her eyes remained locked onto Jiang Mengyu, only slowing her steps as she drew near.

The two stared at each other in silence for a long moment.

“Why didn’t you leave?” Chi Jingyan’s voice was hoarse.

“Where could I go?” Jiang Mengyu’s gaze was calm.

She couldn’t exactly appear in public wearing handcuffs.

Chi Jingyan sniffled, “Then why did you…”

Why did you leave the room in the middle of the night without sleeping?

Jiang Mengyu tugged at the corner of her lips, “Isn’t this exactly what you wanted to see?”

Removing the chains connected to her handcuffs and withdrawing the bodyguards from the villa wasn’t Chi Jingyan waiting for her to escape?

Hearing this, Chi Jingyan’s eyes grew even redder, “So you knew all along…”

Knew exactly what she was thinking and deliberately provoked her.

“Jiang Mengyu.” Chi Jingyan’s voice was hoarse, and after a long pause, she asked softly, “Do you really not like me anymore?”

That’s why Jiang Mengyu didn’t care at all whether she would be upset, even intentionally making her sad.

“Do you hate me?”

Jiang Mengyu remained silent.

The moonlight was cold as snow, and from a distance, Chi Jingyan felt she couldn’t clearly see Jiang Mengyu’s face.

Her attitude was always so ambiguous, constantly giving Chi Jingyan hope, only to disappoint her again and again.

“Tell me now, do you really not like me at all? Just say it, and I’ll let you go immediately.”

Yeah, right.

Chi Jingyan heard a voice in her heart refuting.

Even if Jiang Mengyu said it, she would never let her go. She would only lock Jiang Mengyu away for good.

Jiang Mengyu didn’t answer. She slowly stood up and walked toward Chi Jingyan. As she passed by, she whispered, “Let’s go back. Aren’t you cold?”

Chi Jingyan’s taut nerves snapped instantly.

Her waist was tightly embraced, and the person burying her face in her neck opened her mouth as if to bite down hard, but in the end, she only nipped Jiang Mengyu’s skin, grinding her teeth in frustration.

“I hate you…” The muffled voice of the young mistress came from her neck, laced with unmistakable tears.

Jiang Mengyu: “Oh.”

Chi Jingyan never did bite Jiang Mengyu hard in the end. This attempt of hers had failed once again. Jiang Mengyu’s thoughts remained unclear to her, but she herself had been thoroughly provoked, her eyes red the entire time.

She forcibly dragged Jiang Mengyu back to the room but didn’t lie down to rest herself. Instead, she stared at Jiang Mengyu for a long while before turning and leaving.

System 031 was uneasy. [Host, what does Female Lead A mean by this?]

Jiang Mengyu: “How should I know?”

She wasn’t Chi Jingyan, how could she possibly know what Chi Jingyan was thinking?

Chi Jingyan didn’t stay away for long, soon returning.

The moment Jiang Mengyu saw her enter, she couldn’t help but frown. She caught a strong whiff of pear lychee wine on Chi Jingyan.

Had Chi Jingyan’s pheromones gone out of control?

Seeing Jiang Mengyu’s unwavering gaze, Chi Jingyan finally smiled. She climbed up from the foot of the bed, slowly approaching Jiang Mengyu. “Do you smell it?”

Jiang Mengyu stared intently at her unnaturally flushed face. “What did you do?”

Chi Jingyan’s pheromones couldn’t have suddenly gone out of control.

Even last night, when she had deliberately tried to seduce her, the pheromone levels had been within controllable limits not like now, where the pheromones in the air were running wild, completely irrational.

“I gave myself an injection,” Chi Jingyan said casually.

“What?” Jiang Mengyu grabbed her outstretched hand.

She noticed a needle mark still visible on Chi Jingyan’s arm, proving the other wasn’t lying.

Chi Jingyan averted her gaze. “Pheromone inducer.”

Jiang Mengyu abruptly clenched her fingers. “Are you insane?”

What was a pheromone inducer?

When Jiang Mengyu first transmigrated into this world, the original cannon fodder character A had been expelled from school for attempting to inject Chi Jingyan with pheromone-inducing agents.

Back then, Chi Jingyan had been so furious she never wanted to see her again. Yet now, she had voluntarily injected herself with the same pheromone-inducing agent.

“Didn’t you resent me for treating you poorly?”

Chi Jingyan’s gaze clung to Jiang Mengyu’s face, her eyes brimming with a maddening, obsessive affection. “Then I’ll start changing from the very beginning, step by step, until your anger fades. Will that work?”

“Once I’ve changed, promise you’ll stay with me properly, okay?”

She didn’t want to keep testing the waters anymore.

Wasn’t Jiang Mengyu angry?

Then she just had to soothe that anger away.

The first step, starting with that pheromone-inducing agent that had failed to be injected.

Even when she was sober, she was no match for Jiang Mengyu. Chi Jingyan didn’t believe that Jiang Mengyu had truly been helpless against her last night. She had clearly softened, why wouldn’t she admit it?

“Jiang Mengyu.” Chi Jingyan tentatively asked, “What are we now?”

“What do you think?” Jiang Mengyu countered.

Chi Jingyan’s heartbeat quickened slightly. “We…”

Last night, Jiang Mengyu had called her an irrelevant person.

But would she do such intimate things with someone irrelevant?

Her body still bore traces of Jiang Mengyu’s passion, the scent of jasmine practically seeping into her skin.

Chi Jingyan’s face flushed, her gaze flickering away for a moment.

But before she could continue, she heard Jiang Mengyu say indifferently, “Just mutual consent, that’s all.”

Chi Jingyan’s body stiffened instantly, the flush on her face fading. “What do you mean, mutual consent…?”

Jiang Mengyu didn’t want to acknowledge it?!

The atmosphere in the room plunged into silence, neither speaking for a long while.

Seeing Jiang Mengyu frown, Chi Jingyan’s chest tightened further. But she had come to understand Jiang Mengyu’s contradictory nature, what she said wasn’t necessarily what she truly thought.

So speaking the opposite was this hurtful, no wonder Jiang Mengyu had been angry with her.

Chi Jingyan finally understood how Jiang Mengyu must have felt back then.

After the disappointment, Chi Jingyan consoled herself. There was no rush, she still had time to take things slow.

Suppressing the discomfort in her waist, she leaned in and wrapped her arms around Jiang Mengyu.

“Then… I’ll keep trying, work harder to make you forgive me sooner, okay?”

Jiang Mengyu: “Don’t waste your effort.”

It wasn’t a waste at all.

Chi Jingyan thought to herself, if everything she did was truly pointless, then how had she ended up tangled with Jiang Mengyu last night?

“I’m doing all this willingly.” Chi Jingyan tilted her head up and kissed the corner of Jiang Mengyu’s lips.

“So, how else do you want to take revenge on me?”

“I’ll listen to whatever you say.”

Chi Jingyan tilted her head. “Or…”

“Do you also want to put a collar on me and lock me up?”
