Transmigrated as the Cannon Fodder Spouse of the Disabled Beauty - Chapter 21

“What do you see?” Song Yunran asked.

Xu Luo was about to answer when several performance students finally snapped out of their shock. Cursing loudly, they swarmed toward the brawl on the shore. Without much thought, Xu Luo rushed over as well. Song Yunran tried to grab her but failed to hold her back.

However, the chaotic fight wasn’t as intense as imagined, and Xu Luo didn’t end up playing much of a role. Just as described in the original novel, the female lead was born with monstrous strength far exceeding that of an ordinary person. With one punch for each person, she quickly knocked down these young men who spent their days in bars and were hollowed out by alcohol. With an artistic flair, she lined them up neatly in a row.

Some of these young men, being useless, had fainted which was actually better, as they were spared further mental torment. Others hadn’t fainted but, yielding to the female lead’s martial prowess, humiliatingly allowed her to arrange them.

Xu Luo stood bewildered in the middle of this post-battle field, not knowing what to do.

Over there, the female lead finished lining up the performance students and sat down beside them. She spoke up.

“Let’s talk.”

The female lead addressed the performance students.

“What I am doing now is legitimate self-defense after suffering workplace bullying. You bullied me first, and I fought back rightfully. Now you are lying down and I am standing up this is a victory I won through my personal ability. Therefore…”

The female lead’s flat tone rose slightly. “Therefore, the part-time pay cannot be withheld.”

“You can understand me, right?”

The female lead was being reasonable with her employers.

You can understand me, right?

The performance students who were still awake: “…”

Xu Luo: “…”

She burst out laughing, laughing very loudly.

The joy she felt while reading the novel was now something she was experiencing firsthand.

The original female lead was such a magical girl.

In the original story, the female lead’s name was Song Zhenzhen. She had a cute appearance but a very wooden personality, though sometimes her train of thought was so unusual it felt… strangely adorable.

Song Zhenzhen’s surname was Song, the same as Song Yunran’s, because biologically speaking, they were cousins.

Twenty-two years ago, Song Zhenzhen’s father eloped for love, heading to a distant land with his true love and abandoning his inheritance rights to the Song family. A year later, Song Zhenzhen was born. The family of three originally lived a simple but happy life, but happiness didn’t last. When Song Zhenzhen was six, both her parents died in an accident.

After the accident, the six-year-old Song Zhenzhen was sent to an orphanage and never left until she relied on her talent and hard work to get into A University. She was currently in her junior year.

The female lead had deep feelings for the orphanage and got along wonderfully with the children there.

Because she was an adult, she had technically left the orphanage, but she still lived there as a volunteer and looked for every possible way to give back to the institution, which was now clearly struggling financially.

This was the reason why she was always short on money and loved money.

If Xu Luo hadn’t transmigrated, the original Xu Luo would have already been killed by Song Yunran by this time. Song Zhenzhen and Song Yunran would have met long ago, but perhaps because Xu Luo’s soul-crossing caused a butterfly effect, these two cousins were only meeting now, and in a different location than in the original book.

In the original novel, Song Yunran and Song Zhenzhen had a decent relationship. Song Zhenzhen was eventually brought back to the Song family by Song Yunran’s father, and Song Yunran gave the inheritance rights to Song Zhenzhen.

According to the description, they seemed to be friends.

If it weren’t for the fire Song Yunran set at the very end.

Actually, until now, Xu Luo couldn’t understand why Song Yunran would burn down the Song house in the end. Based on the Song Yunran she was currently interacting with, although she wasn’t exactly a “normal” person, she wouldn’t go crazy without cause.

What exactly happened?

Thinking of this, Xu Luo turned back to look at Song Yunran, wanting to see her clearly.

As she looked, she saw a handsome male approaching from behind Song Yunran. Upon seeing the man’s face, Xu Luo suddenly had a flash of inspiration could this be…

“An Ze!”

Performance Student No. 1, who had been lying on the sand pretending to be dead with a bruised and swollen face, suddenly “corpsed” back to life and sat up, looking at the approaching boy like he was a savior.

An Ze…

Shao Anze, as expected, the original male lead!

Shao Anze had a tall, slender build and few expressions. Among the group of art students, his handsomeness stood out exceptionally, living up to the setting of being the only male lead in the original work.

He was actually also a student in the Performance Department at A University, a classmate of the group that had been beaten up. He had come here for the film parade as well.

“An Ze, hurry! Come here and pin down this crazy woman!” The performance students clearly viewed Shao Anze as their leader; seeing him was like seeing their own father.

They denounced Song Zhenzhen’s unreasonableness and brutality.

Shao Anze looked at Song Zhenzhen. He didn’t blindly side with his classmates but asked for the facts: “What’s going on?”

At this moment, because the plot had shifted, the original male and female leads had only just met and were not familiar with each other.

Song Zhenzhen recognized Shao Anze and knew he was one of her employers.

Her eyes brightened, and she walked over to him, briefly describing what had happened before concluding: “I just came here to work, but now I feel like my rights aren’t being protected. So, Boss, please pay me my part-time fee in advance.”

Shao Anze: “…”

He frowned at his classmates, a flash of disgust appearing in his eyes.

He gave the money to Song Zhenzhen.

Song Zhenzhen was clearly happy once she got the money. Without another word, she sat back down by the equipment to continue guarding it.

Getting paid to do the job she was reliable!

Seeing the male and female leads, Xu Luo felt quite excited. When she read the novel, these two had stuffed her mouth with so much “dog food” (romance) that she had shipped them hard. Now, they were standing right in front of her in the flesh! Even though they seemed estranged right now with no “sugar” to be found.

Xu Luo’s gaze instinctively followed the two of them.

She was staring so intently she didn’t notice when Song Yunran had come to her side until her hand was pulled.

“Luo Luo, let’s go back,” Song Yunran said softly.

The sound of her voice caught Shao Anze’s attention. He looked at her, something flashing in his eyes.

Song Yunran noticed him, but their gazes broke as soon as they met. She pulled Xu Luo away.

Xu Luo didn’t want to leave yet, walking with a “one step forward, three looks back” posture as she was pulled away.

Song Yunran’s grip on her hand tightened slightly.

The two returned to the rented villa. Song Yunran wanted to talk to Xu Luo, but seeing that her clothes were still wet, she held back and told Xu Luo to change first.

When Xu Luo finished changing and came back, she saw Song Yunran drinking tea on the villa’s terrace. She sat down beside her.

Song Yunran was looking toward the beach. The performance students were gone, leaving only Song Zhenzhen and Shao Anze talking about something. Shortly after, Shao Anze left, while Song Zhenzhen… started heading toward the villa.

Xu Luo: ???

Song Yunran took a shallow sip of tea. “Luo Luo seems very focused on that girl.”

Xu Luo was still wondering why Song Zhenzhen was coming this way; hearing this, she didn’t catch it clearly and absent-mindedly replied: “Ah.”

Song Yunran rubbed the teacup with her finger, her fingertip pausing at the rim. “No, Luo Luo also seems very focused on that boy.”

She looked thoughtful. “Do you like them young?”

Song Zhenzhen was 21 and Shao Anze was 22 both were college students.

But Xu Luo only noticed Song Zhenzhen getting closer and closer and didn’t hear what Song Yunran was talking about at all.

Song Yunran glanced at her.

Xu Luo soon found out why Song Zhenzhen had come. She was here to thank Xu Luo for saving her life. The method of gratitude was a gift: a jade pendant shaped like a bean sprout.

“This is the most valuable thing I have on me. I’m giving it to you,” Song Zhenzhen said.

Xu Luo recognized at a glance that this jade was a Song family product, given by the Song ancestors to their heirs. When Song Zhenzhen’s father ran away for love, he forgot to throw it back to the Song family, and eventually, seeing it was worth a lot, he gave it to his daughter.

Xu Luo could feel that Song Zhenzhen’s desire to repay the favor was very strong the jade was practically being shoved into Xu Luo’s face!

Xu Luo hurriedly leaned back to avoid it.

“Please, you must not use this jade to repay me!” Xu Luo rejected it with earnest words.

She didn’t dare accept this thing because this jade was tied to a very important plot point…

Song Zhenzhen couldn’t understand. She desperately wanted to trade the jade for peace of mind once the jade was given, the favor was returned, and only then could she be at ease. But Xu Luo didn’t want to take it, so the two of them kept pushing the jade back and forth.

“Are you tired?” Song Yunran asked from the terrace, watching them. “How about you two have a cup of tea before continuing?”

As soon as she spoke, Xu Luo felt her throat go dry and she nodded. Song Zhenzhen felt the same and thanked her.

The two walked onto the terrace together, sat down, and drank tea.

Song Yunran: “…”

Taking a sip of tea, Xu Luo felt revitalized. She sat very close to Song Yunran and nudged her lightly with her elbow, leaning in to whisper: “Song Yunran, what do you think of her?”

“Her” naturally referred to Song Zhenzhen.

In the original novel, the relationship between these two cousins was a mystery, and Xu Luo was very curious.

When Xu Luo asked this, she was only a fist’s distance from Song Yunran. Her breath was right by Song Yunran’s ear. With a slight turn of her head, Song Yunran could see the shimmering light in Xu Luo’s eyes.

Song Yunran gazed into those eyes. Under Xu Luo’s prompting look, she raised her hand and brushed against Xu Luo’s eye.

“Hot and bright,” she replied.

“Hot” was what she felt through her hand; “bright” was what her eyes saw.

Xu Luo: “??”

What kind of abstract answer was that?

Did Song Yunran see Song Zhenzhen as a beam of hot light?

Uh, this was their first time meeting, right? Did they have such a “fiery” feeling already?

Xu Luo was shocked.

These two would definitely become good friends. The fire Song Yunran set in the future must have been some kind of misunderstanding, right?

Xu Luo thought to herself.

She hoped Song Yunran would make many friends. After spending time together these days, she had begun to hope that Song Yunran would have a normal future with friends, family, and a lover, just like any other ordinary person.

Thinking this, she invited Song Zhenzhen to stay for dinner to cultivate their relationship.

Song Zhenzhen didn’t know her scheme but agreed, because unless it was a special circumstance, she never turned down a free meal.

Song Yunran also had no objection. In Xu Luo’s view, she even seemed quite enthusiastic about welcoming Song Zhenzhen, as she went to the kitchen and gave instructions on how the dinner should be prepared.

She had never done that before!

Since they were at the seaside, they naturally had to eat seafood, so their dinner was mainly seafood-based.

Xu Luo’s appetite had been very large lately. Song Yunran took this into account and specially ordered a jumbo seafood platter for her. The platter looked breathtakingly beautiful the shrimp meat was pearly white and the salmon was pink and tender. Xu Luo almost shed tears of gratitude.

She picked up a piece of meat with a trembling hand and closed her eyes to savor it. The next second, tears really did flow down.

“Ugh—”

She almost vomited it out.

“So sour!” she exclaimed, her eyes blurring from the acidity. “Why is it so sour?!”

Song Yunran pulled out a tissue, gently pinched her face to turn it toward her, and softly wiped away the tears, explaining tenderly: “Because only vinegar was added.”

She said, “I specially instructed the villa butler to make it for Luo Luo.”

Why?!

Xu Luo was puzzled to the extreme. She grabbed Song Yunran’s hand and said earnestly: “Don’t ever go into the kitchen again!”

Song Yunran: “…”

A certain someone seemed not to have noticed why she did that.

Xu Luo refused to eat the plate of sour meat anymore and pushed it to Song Yunran to deal with, while she joined the crab meat competition with Song Zhenzhen.

After a full meal, Xu Luo saw Song Zhenzhen off with lingering reluctance.

Song Yunran didn’t go to see Song Zhenzhen off. She was at the villa’s bar picking out red wine. By the time Xu Luo returned from seeing her guest out, Song Yunran had selected a bottle.

“Nothing’s happening tonight, Luo Luo. Shall we have a drink?” Song Yunran said, holding the wine.

Xu Luo leaned over to see what brand the wine was, but her legs suddenly went weak and she fell directly into Song Yunran’s arms.

Both of them were stunned at the same time.

Song Yunran reacted first. She set the wine aside, wrapped both hands around Xu Luo’s waist, and smiled. “Acting spoiled?”

Xu Luo wanted to say no, but what came out was a soft, limp whimper.

Song Yunran: “…”

Xu Luo: “…”

Oh my, her body seemed to be acting outside of her control!

Xu Luo was terrified. Her body temperature rose rapidly, a flush appeared on her cheeks, and her eyes instantly became watery. This wasn’t because of shyness, but a strange, uncontrollable physiological change.

Song Yunran was stunned and tentatively touched her forehead. The temperature was high.

“Is Luo Luo having a fever?” Song Yunran’s brow furrowed.

Another fever.

It was impossible for Song Yunran not to have noticed Xu Luo’s recent abnormalities, but the doctor said Xu Luo was fine, so she could only hide her unease.

Xu Luo also analyzed with a serious face: “I think this is more like a seafood allergy.”

Song Yunran said: ” I’ll call a doctor for you.”

Xu Luo nodded and rubbed her cheek against Song Yunran’s palm.

Song Yunran’s body temperature was on the lower side, which made Xu Luo feel very comfortable.

Song Yunran called the butler to help summon a doctor, while Xu Luo turned completely into a soft noodle, hanging limply on Song Yunran.

Unlike the first fever, she was fully conscious now; the only symptoms were heat and weakness.

She even felt like joking: “Song Yunran, how well-done do you think I am right now?”

Although Song Yunran was worried about the doctor, she humored her nonsense: “I don’t know.”

Xu Luo said: “Squeeze me. Squeeze me to judge.”

Song Yunran squeezed.

Xu Luo asked her: “How much?”

Song Yunran said: “Fully cooked.”

Xu Luo pondered: “Then wouldn’t I be quite unappetizing right now?”

She was like a fully cooked noodle?

Song Yunran: “…”

She lowered her gaze. At this moment, the person in her arms had cheeks flushed like a drunkard’s, watery eyes, and a slightly open mouth. An indescribable, faint fragrance enveloped her. She was very… delicious.

It was just that she really shouldn’t open her mouth speaking really ruined the mood.
