Transmigrated as the Cannon Fodder Spouse of the Disabled Beauty - Chapter 2

Before going to look at the stars, Xu Luo first went to the public restroom downstairs to confirm the face she was currently sporting.

The face in the mirror was extremely unfamiliar. It was quite beautiful, with a mole at the outer corner of each eye. These peculiar, symmetrical moles helped Xu Luo confirm that she had indeed transmigrated.

she had become the Xu Luo from the book.

Xu Luo herself was not human; she belonged to the mermaid race. As a mermaid, she possessed two forms: a humanoid form and a human-headed, fish-tailed form. However, she could clearly feel now that she was unable to transform into her tail form.

Had she truly become a complete “paper character,” reborn into this world with a human posture?

She had lost out, especially since this identity of hers looked like it would be short-lived.

Xu Luo’s sorrow was endless. She plunged into the villa courtyard and truly stared at the stars with a forty-five-degree upward gaze for the entire night.

The first person to wake up in the Song family villa in the early morning was the kitchen auntie. As soon as the auntie entered the courtyard gate, she saw Xu Luo slumped limply on a lounge chair, looking devoid of the will to live. At first glance, she thought it was some kind of crime scene and was startled.

But although Xu Luo wasn’t particularly lively, she was, after all, alive. She tilted her head, looking at the kitchen auntie listlessly.

“What’s happened here?” The kitchen auntie recognized her as the one who had married into the Song family a month ago.

“…Hungry.”

“What?”

“I’m hungry.”

“Oh, oh.”

So she was just hungry…

Xu Luo was indeed hungry. This body of hers had eaten dinner with Mrs. Song last night; she hadn’t eaten much food, but she had swallowed plenty of anger. Now that the bellyful of anger had been mostly digested, her sense of hunger was uncontrollable.

She couldn’t wait for the formal meal and first pestered the kitchen auntie, using sweet talk to coax her into making a small side dish.

The kitchen auntie of the Song family had a good relationship with Mrs. Song. She had frequently heard Mrs. Song complain that the Xu daughter married into their family was an arrogant fool. Having been biased by Mrs. Song’s words, the kitchen auntie now found, upon personal contact, that those complaints were somewhat unfair.

This child was clearly quite well-behaved.

Children who eat heartily are all well-behaved, the kitchen auntie thought.

Receiving the continuous “waves of affection” from the kitchen auntie, Xu Luo ate even more heartily. In her heart, she plotted whether to develop the kitchen into her stronghold, coming here whenever she had time to “fatten up” and make herself a bit more plump and beautiful. She truly felt that the body she had taken over appeared somewhat shriveled because the original owner had excessively pursued a slim figure.

She set out plans one, two, and three, finished a large bowl of noodles in one go, thanked the kitchen auntie, and left the kitchen satisfied.

She went to the downstairs restroom to relieve herself. When she passed the mirror in front of the sink, she caught a glimpse of it inadvertently and her feet took root; she couldn’t move.

She stopped and leaned her face closer to the mirror to look.

In the mirror, the two eye-corner moles she had carefully observed last night had vanished, leaving no trace behind.

Beyond that, her face shape and facial features had undergone slight changes, as if someone had secretly pinched her face last night, making her… making her look a bit more like her original self.

Xu Luo was shocked.

She touched her face with a complicated mood.

Speaking of which, with such a large change, would people who saw her raise strange questions?

Full of trepidation, she struggled internally for a moment before heading upstairs.

She came to the room at the end of the third-floor corridor. After lingering for a long time, she crept in on tiptoe.

This room was Song Yunran’s room. At the moment, Song Yunran was still sleeping. The book she had read last night was placed neatly on the nightstand, and next to the nightstand was her wheelchair. The wheelchair was very close to the bed; as long as Song Yunran was willing, she could get onto it herself, though the process might be somewhat clumsy.

Xu Luo observed for a moment, lightened her steps, and approached Song Yunran.

The person on the bed hadn’t woken up. Xu Luo didn’t dare sit on the bed and instead sat on the nearby wheelchair.

With her hands on her knees, she sat upright, waiting for Song Yunran.

Song Yunran was extremely alert. She had actually woken up when she heard the footsteps lingering outside the door, but she didn’t open her eyes, wanting to see what Xu Luo intended to do.

She had suspected last night that Xu Luo was playing some kind of trick, and sure enough, early in the morning, she was acting stealthily.

Was this person going to secretly throw bugs onto her bed, or try to stuff something into her mouth while she slept?

This fool, with a brain the size of a bean, couldn’t come up with any decent means even when bullying someone; it was utterly boring and quite annoying.

Song Yunran waited quietly, but there were no bugs, nor any other tactics. The room was silent—so silent it was as if Xu Luo had left.

Song Yunran: “…”

She slowly opened her eyes, pretending she had just woken up.

“You’re finally awake!” The person by the bed spoke up impatiently, er, giving her a greeting. “Good morning.”

Song Yunran: “…”

She turned her head slightly to look at the person sitting in her wheelchair. The latter’s eyes were now bright, as if they were glowing.

“…Good morning.”

Her mood felt a bit strange.

“Luoluou was waiting for me?” she asked softly.

Xu Luo nodded: “Mm-hmm!”

“…What was Luoluou waiting for me for?”

They had never interacted in such a bizarre way so bizarre that Song Yunran couldn’t quite read her.

Xu Luo leaned her face closer to the bed and said mysteriously, “I want you to look at my face.”

Song Yunran: “…”

“There’s a white sesame seed stuck to the corner of your mouth,” she looked and described truthfully.

Xu Luo rolled her tongue and licked away the sesame: “And then?”

Song Yunran followed up: “And then?”

And then what?

Xu Luo took the lead: “What do you think of my face today?”

She had thought about it; the character she inhabited had only been married into the Song family for a month. Other members of the Song family might not pay much attention to her, but Song Yunran was different. Given how much she had provoked Song Yunran, Song Yunran surely remembered every one of her cells and might have even contemplated her death a thousand times over in her heart.

She wanted to see Song Yunran’s reaction to the changes in her face.

And Song Yunran’s reaction was.

“It’s okay?” Song Yunran’s gaze lingered over her face for a moment, pointing out, “You have a bit of dark circles under your eyes.”

“Just that?”

Song Yunran was clearly suspicious of her actions and was scrutinizing her secretly, while Xu Luo was also scrutinizing the other party. She then reached a conclusion: Song Yunran had not noticed the changes in her face.

Song Yunran was as meticulous as a hair; if she had noticed, she certainly wouldn’t act like this.

Was it because her transmigration caused this world to unconsciously correct people’s perception of her, believing that no matter how she changed, she was still the Xu Luo from the book?

This seemed a bit mystical, but transmigration itself was very mystical…

Thinking this, Xu Luo, who had been tense, relaxed. She stood up from the wheelchair and flashed a brilliant smile: “I see.”

She nodded repeatedly and then said to Song Yunran, “Thank you, sorry to bother you!”

Having said that, she skipped away. Of course she had to run; unless absolutely necessary, she had to stay far away from a certain “dangerous item”!

Behind her, Song Yunran pulled back her habitual smile, looking thoughtful. This partner of hers…

Seemed to be afraid of her?

On the other side, after learning that the changes happening to her wouldn’t cause suspicion, Xu Luo finally felt relieved. With light steps, she walked out of the villa and stood under the michelia tree in the courtyard. She found an angle she liked and gazed at the lush green michelia in front of her… wondering what to eat for lunch.

Forgive her, but this was truly because she didn’t know what to do.

The character she transmigrated into didn’t have much weight in the book. She was the only child of the Xu family; her family treated her very well and never had any intention of making her a commercial sacrifice. She had initiated the marriage herself.

As for the reason, it was because the original owner discovered that the family who loved her wasn’t actually her biological parents. She was a child adopted by the Xu family; the Xu couple had a daughter in their early years who unfortunately died of illness.

The Xu Luo in the book went down a dead-end path of logic. After learning the truth, she concluded she was just a replacement. In an impulsive fit, she declared she would marry into the alliance to repay the Xu family’s kindness and owe them nothing no one could stop her.

She simply had bubbles in her brain.

The actual situation was that the Xu family truly pampered her so much so that she had lived to 22 as a “rice worm” (freeloader) at home, never producing anything for the world. This status hadn’t changed after she married into the Song family.

Yes, what Xu Luo inherited was a giant rice worm. As a rice worm, she had nothing to do.

She lacked neither food nor clothing, and her pocket money was deposited on time. If she hadn’t provoked Song Yunran, who knows how happy this rice worm life would be!

The problem lay with Song Yunran; Song Yunran would not let her off.

Xu Luo felt briefly melancholic about not being able to enjoy her rice worm life without worries and reached out to pluck a flower from the michelia tree.

Perhaps she could go back to the Xu family to live?

A business marriage involved too much; once this marriage was tied, she couldn’t just say she wanted a divorce. But she could go back to the Xu family for an emergency refuge?

Yes, the Xu family cherished her as their treasure; they surely wouldn’t mind if the married rice worm came back to continue freeloading!

Xu Luo saw a clear path and ran excitedly back to the villa to find the original owner’s phone.

But she couldn’t find it; she didn’t know where the original owner had left the phone.

She returned dejectedly to the michelia tree in the courtyard and continued to space out, standing there like a second michelia tree in the yard.

After spacing out for an unknown amount of time, a sound suddenly came from inside the house, like something falling to the floor. Hearing the noise, she looked toward the interior.

The villa she was in was only the most remote and desolate one in the Song family’s main estate. It was allocated by the Song family for Song Yunran to live in. For many years, the only living people in this villa, besides Song Yunran, were Grandma Fu, who took close care of her. Xu Luo had only moved in a month ago. The kitchen auntie was arranged to come in two years ago when Grandma Fu grew old and her movements became inconvenient; moreover, the kitchen auntie didn’t live here she only came during meal times to cook.

With fewer people living in the villa, stray cats roamed more frequently. Xu Luo was worried a stray cat had entered the house to cause trouble and went inside to catch it.

However, there were no stray cats in the house, only a beauty sitting in a wheelchair tinkering with a coffee machine. When Xu Luo entered the room, the other person was just dropping a white cube-shaped object into a coffee cup and stirring it.

“Luoluou?”

Seeing her, the beauty stopped stirring the coffee and asked, “Do you want some coffee?”

As soon as Xu Luo heard this a second ago she hadn’t thought Song Yunran put anything strange in the coffee, but now she overturned that thought. It looked suspicious no matter how she viewed it.

Could Song Yunran be putting medicine in it to drug her?!

She took a step back, her entire body expressing rejection: “I’m not drinking it.”

Song Yunran smiled with curved brows and didn’t force her: “That’s a pity… Luoluou, could you come over and help me pick up the cup on the floor?”

At her feet lay a scattered porcelain cup, which she had accidentally knocked down earlier. The sound Xu Luo had heard just now came from this.

Picking up a cup was much safer than drinking coffee. Xu Luo didn’t refuse this time; she walked over and bent down to help pick up the cup.

What Xu Luo didn’t expect was that the moment she picked up the cup and straightened her waist, a pair of arms unexpectedly wrapped around her neck. She froze, and in the next instant, her lips were blocked as a mouthful of hot coffee was passed over to her.

The rich aroma of coffee spread between her teeth, but Xu Luo’s attention was on the pair of lips pressed against hers. They were cool, and as they opened and closed, they said:

“I thought about it… I still want Luoluou to have a taste.”

Xu Luo: “!!!”

Holy crap!

Xu Luo couldn’t see it, but Song Yunran’s eyes were as if covered in a thin layer of ice also cool.
