The Cannon Fodder Crazy Beauty Has Awakened [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 44.2

The bedside lamp was on, casting a dim yellow glow on Jiang Mengyu’s profile, outlining a hazy silhouette.

Chi Jingyan grew more alert. “What’s wrong?”

Her voice was hoarse.

Jiang Mengyu casually set her phone aside. “Nothing.”

Her fingertips glimmered faintly. Chi Jingyan focused and realized it was the necklace she had given Jiang Mengyu.

Staring at the necklace in the middle of the night?

Chi Jingyan blinked sleepily. “Can’t sleep?”

“No.” Jiang Mengyu placed the necklace on the nightstand, then lay back down, pulling Chi Jingyan into her arms.

Chi Jingyan’s words were cut off by the motion. The warm scent of jasmine filled every corner, lulling her further into drowsiness.

“Sleep,” she heard Jiang Mengyu whisper in her ear.

The next second, Chi Jingyan could no longer hold on and closed her eyes again.

Jiang Mengyu did the same.

Her phone, lying beside the pillow, buzzed once with a new message from an unlisted contact. The content was just one word.

[Okay.]

After returning to school, Jiang Mengyu noticed the looks from their classmates in Class Nine had grown even stranger.

A mix of shock, doubt, and a hint of realization flashed across their faces.

Even Chen He’an, who usually avoided gossip, couldn’t resist asking, “Are you and Chi Jingyan really together?”

Jiang Mengyu paused. “How did you know?”

She didn’t deny it!

Chen He’an adjusted his glasses. “I heard it from someone in Class 13. Apparently, one of their classmates has a relative who attended Chi Jingyan’s grandfather’s funeral. They heard Chi Jingyan say it herself that you’re her girlfriend.”

The rumors were actually even more exaggerated. That person also claimed that Chi Jingyan’s parents had initially opposed the relationship, wanting to break them apart, but couldn’t resist Chi Jingyan and Jiang Mengyu kneeling and pleading desperately. In the end, they relented.

Chen He’an always felt that, based on his understanding of Jiang Mengyu, she wasn’t the type to do something like that.

Jiang Mengyu neither confirmed nor denied it. She lowered her head and continued working on her problems. Seeing this, Chen He’an more or less understood.

With the college entrance exams approaching, everyone was tense. Though they occasionally indulged in gossip, most of their time was spent studying hard.

Since neither Jiang Mengyu nor Chi Jingyan were particularly flamboyant, and Chu Muyao had no objections, there wasn’t much drama to fuel the rumors. Gradually, people forgot about it.

In the end, Chen He’an still didn’t agree to Xie Xun’s request to switch seats. Unable to complete the task Chi Jingyan had assigned her, Xie Xun was almost too afraid to face her.

She had expected Chi Jingyan to be furious, but to her surprise, Chi Jingyan just nodded indifferently.

Xie Xun was taken aback. “Chi-jie, don’t you want to sit with Jiang Mengyu anymore?”

Chi Jingyan was also solving problems and didn’t even look up. “No need.”

Chi Jingyan had wanted to sit with Jiang Mengyu to increase their interactions, but Jiang Mengyu had said she just wanted to focus on studying during this time. Chi Jingyan didn’t want to disturb her.

She knew how important this exam was to Jiang Mengyu, and Chi Jingyan hoped she would do well.

Time flew by in the tense atmosphere of studying.

Lately, Chi Jingyan had been living a leisurely life, attending classes during the day and sleeping with the person she loved at night.

Honestly, it wasn’t a bad way to live.

But she was still looking forward to after the exams, when Jiang Mengyu might finally accept her feelings.

Jiang Mengyu had been especially gentle with her lately. Chi Jingyan could sense the growing warmth and patience in her gaze. Even when Chi Jingyan occasionally lost her temper, Jiang Mengyu never argued back. Instead, she would even apologize.

When the homeroom teacher handed out graduation certificates early for photo attachments, Jiang Mengyu stared at the paper in her hands, a faint trace of nostalgia in her eyes. The last time she’d received a high school diploma was years ago.

She remembered performing exceptionally well back then. To celebrate, Jiang Wanjing had even taken her on a cruise for a days-long party.

Jiang Mengyu closed her eyes briefly. When she opened them again, all emotion had been suppressed.

Of everyone looking at their graduation certificates, No. 031 was the most agitated.

The closer they got to graduation, the stricter its surveillance over Jiang Mengyu became. By the end, even the slightest movement from her would send it into a panic.

Heaven, please!

Just let the host behave and wait quietly for the mission to complete!

No. 031 checked the backend data again. The mission progress had reached 98%, even surpassing the plot deviation value by 2 points!

What a joyous occasion!

Amidst the anxious anticipation of System 031, Jiang Mengyu finally welcomed the day of the college entrance exams.

Having already experienced this once before, she wasn’t particularly nervous. Surprisingly, it was Chi Jingyan who repeatedly pulled Jiang Mengyu aside to give her last-minute reminders.

Chi’s parents, who rarely had time to spare, made an exception to accompany Chi Jingyan to the exam site. Seeing everyone around them accompanied by family while Jiang Mengyu stood alone, Chi Jingyan couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.

She used to feel fortunate that Jiang Mengyu was an orphan, making her easier to control. But now, she sincerely wished Jiang Mengyu could have both parents and a happy family.

Giving the person before her a tight hug, Chi Jingyan gazed at Jiang Mengyu’s calm face. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she swallowed her words and only whispered, “Do your best.”

“Mm,” Jiang Mengyu replied softly. “You too.”

For Jiang Mengyu, the two days of exams weren’t particularly difficult.

As the final bell rang, signaling the end of the last exam, System 031 let out an excited scream in Jiang Mengyu’s mind.

[Host!! We’ve succeeded!!]

It wasn’t easy!

This mission had been full of twists and turns. Several times, System 031 had been certain they would fail, yet in the end, the host had pulled it off!!

System 031 shed tears of relief and gratitude.

[Host! I knew you could do it!]

Now, all that remained was to return to school to collect the graduation certificate, and the mission in this world would be completely accomplished!

System 031 couldn’t think of any possible surprises that might arise.

It could almost see the reward points waving at it.

Jiang Mengyu walked out of the exam hall with her pen in hand. Chi Jingyan hadn’t emerged yet, so she would likely have to wait a while longer.

The school gate was crowded. Jiang Mengyu made her way through the throng without stopping, heading straight for an inconspicuous black car parked at the intersection.

The car window rolled down, revealing Chi Jia’s gloomy face. “Are you really sure about this?”

Even now, Chi Jia still couldn’t believe Jiang Mengyu had truly been deceiving Chi Jingyan all along.

They had seemed so deeply in love. Chi Jia knew Chi Jingyan had planned to take Jiang Mengyu abroad for studies and, barring any mishaps, would later arrange for her to join the company.

For Jiang Mengyu, an Alpha with no family or background, such an outcome would have been more than favorable.

Jiang Mengyu remained unmoved. She curled her lips slightly and asked Chi Jia, “What about you?”

Chi Jia’s expression darkened further, her eyes brimming with intense resentment. “My father is gravely ill, and they refuse to treat him.”

Chi Jia saw the situation clearly, those people were deliberately driving her father to madness!

It was Chi Jingyan’s father who had struck first, leaving no room for mercy!

Unable to retaliate against him, Chi Jia could only target Chi Jingyan instead.

A cold smile twisted Chi Jia’s lips. Who would have thought that Chi Jingyan, who feared nothing in the world, would ultimately be defeated by love? It was utterly laughable.

Chi Jia had also investigated the “older friend” Jiang Mengyu had mentioned. Upon learning that the person had died from a gunshot wound while protecting Chi Jingyan, Chi Jia immediately understood why Jiang Mengyu was determined to deceive and humiliate Chi Jingyan like this.

She had suspected Jiang Mengyu might be lying to her.

But firstly, very few people knew about this incident. Given Jiang Mengyu’s background, she wouldn’t have had any means to uncover such details unless she had truly experienced it herself.

Secondly, Jiang Mengyu had already won Chi Jingyan’s affection and approval. Apart from resentment, there was really no need for her to stir up any more trouble.

Chi Jia didn’t believe for a second that Jiang Mengyu was teaming up with Chi Jingyan to target her.

She knew her place, if Chi Jingyan truly wanted to deal with her, there was no need for such elaborate schemes.

“Get in the car,” Chi Jia said coldly.

Her plan with Jiang Mengyu was simple.

Chi Jia wanted to render Chi Jingyan useless. She intended to use Jiang Mengyu as bait to lure Chi Jingyan out, Jiang Mengyu only needed to play along.

Originally, Chi Jia had chosen a different location, but Jiang Mengyu vetoed it, changing it to an abandoned construction site instead.

“She’ll definitely come if we pick this place,” Jiang Mengyu said, her voice cold and certain.

Chi Jia was half-convinced, half-doubtful.

Fearing that Chi Jingyan’s parents might catch on, Chi Jia didn’t bring many people. She didn’t actually plan to kill Chi Jingyan just inject her with a few special drugs.

“You know what?” Chi Jia sneered. “Chen Xiang secretly gave me this drug.”

“He also said he had a huge secret to share with me. Too bad he disappeared before he could tell me.”

Chen Xiang was Professor Chen.

Jiang Mengyu understood.

“He didn’t tell you, then.”

Her voice was so soft that Chi Jia didn’t catch it. “What did you say?” she asked, puzzled.

“Nothing,” Jiang Mengyu lowered her long lashes. “I said, you can call Chi Jingyan now.”

Chi Jia turned to look out the window, the car had already stopped at the construction site.

She glanced back at Jiang Mengyu. “Let’s get out first.”

As she spoke, Chi Jia placed her hand on the car door handle.

The ambush happened in an instant!

An overpowering scent of jasmine invaded her nostrils. Chi Jia’s vision blurred abruptly, her heart pounding uncontrollably. It was as if she had turned into a marionette, utterly powerless to resist as Jiang Mengyu gripped her throat and pressed a gun to her forehead.

How could this be?!

Chi Jia’s face twisted in shock.

She had clearly drugged the water Jiang Mengyu drank earlier, a drug that should have temporarily suppressed an Alpha’s ability to release pheromones. She had watched Jiang Mengyu drink it! So why could Jiang Mengyu still overpower her with pheromones?!

As Chi Jia reeled in confusion, Jiang Mengyu’s voice suddenly sounded in her ear so close it could have been whispered against her skin, yet distant as if from miles away.

“Go on, open the door.”

A flicker of doubt crossed her mind, who was Jiang Mengyu talking to?

But in the next second, Chi Jia realized she was opening the car door against her will. In that lightning-flash moment, everything clicked.

Gritting her teeth, she barely managed to force out two words from her throat.

“It’s… you!”
