Chapter 10

She's going to bully Mi Rui'an!

Lullaby? Wei Jiangxue blinked in confusion. Although she didn't understand, she still did as her sugar daddy Mi asked.

After the broadcast ended, she specially asked 233 to find a well-lit spot. The milky yellow ceiling light in the bathroom made Wei Jiangxue's hair shiny and fluffy. According to 233, this created a great atmosphere.

Finding the right angle, lol, we started filming!

The woman on the screen had her eyes half-closed, her thick, curly hair pulled back, and her beige pajamas made her lips and teeth appear even redder, her skin pinkish, like a plump peach.

Mi Rui'an lay on her side on the bed, and the beautiful humming entered her ears, sweeping away the worries of the day.

She had the young anchor sing a lullaby that her mother used to sing to her. Actually, saying that Wei Jiangxue sang it with the same feeling as her mother isn't entirely accurate.

Wei Jiangxue has her own style, but this style reminds Mi Rui'an of her mother, a "mother" in a broad sense, which makes people feel relaxed and at ease.

The Wei Jiangxue when she was a live streamer and the Wei Jiangxue that Mi Rui'an usually saw seemed to be two completely unrelated people.

One is cute and endearing, while the other is always testing Mi Rui'an's limits.

No, it can't be said that they're unrelated. Sometimes Wei Jiangxue might think she's offended Mi Rui'an, but in reality, Mi Rui'an just thinks she's a bit mischievous and a troublemaker.

The soft touch that had lingered on her fingertips was almost forgotten. Mi Rui'an unconsciously reached out, her fingertips pausing just as they touched the beautiful face on the screen, lost in thought.

This inexplicable and unfounded longing has a rather unpleasant meaning for Mi Rui'an right now.

Having made money, given the nature of a cannon fodder Alpha, he naturally wanted to go out and indulge in a life of pleasure.

Just as Wei Jiangxue was about to leave, System 233 suddenly announced a serious mission—just like when she stole Mi Rui'an's clothes last time, she had to repeat the experience.

"...No way, why is this quest refreshing again?" Wei Jiangxue was speechless.

But the system seemed to be busy with other emergencies, so it didn't have time to comfort Wei Jiangxue before disconnecting.

"How unreliable." Wei Jiangxue muttered, then helplessly made her way towards Mi Rui'an's room.

She usually wakes up around nine in the morning, while at the same time, Mi Rui'an has usually been out for more than two hours, which shows how diligent the protagonist is.

"People who can consistently get up early every day after leaving school are really tough. They'll succeed at anything." Wei Jiangxue muttered as she pushed open the door to Mi Rui'an's bedroom. She was still holding the sweater she hadn't returned before, which had been washed. If 233 hadn't suddenly issued this task, Wei Jiangxue would have almost forgotten that she still had one of Mi Rui'an's clothes.

Having learned from her previous theft experience, Wei Jiangxue was much more adept at finding things this time.

She didn't care what kind of clothes she was touching; she just grabbed the hanger and left.

"Hello."

Another sound came from the room, startling Wei Jiangxue so much that she almost dropped the clothes and hanger in her hands.

That's clearly Mi Rui'an's voice!

It's so late, why hasn't Mi Rui'an gone to work yet? Why didn't the system say anything? It's so irresponsible!

This was the first thought that popped into Wei Jiangxue's head. Then she shook her head vigorously. No, no, she should be thinking about her situation now!

She was caught red-handed by Mi Rui'an herself for stealing clothes. How can she make up a lie to cover it up?

Wei Jiangxue silently put down what she was holding, and with her other hand reached for the swivel chair. She gently placed Mi Rui'an's clothes on it, then racked her brains and began to ramble, "Haha, oh, this room is really a room. I thought it was my bedroom, but I didn't expect to have come to the wrong place. If you don't have anything else, I'll be going now?"

Unable to get a response from Mi Rui'an for a long time, Wei Jiangxue turned and left. Because she was too nervous, she not only moved her hands and feet in unison, but also forgot that the room here was mirrored in her own room. As a result, her shinbone hit the corner of the bed directly.

She cried out in pain and tried to squat down, but this only made her calves hurt more.

"Sit on my bed first." Mi Rui'an walked over quickly and helped Wei Jiangxue to the bed.

When the pajamas pants covering Wei Jiangxue's calves were pulled up, her calves were clearly red, and a piece of skin had been rubbed off, with blood seeping out.

Mi Rui'an immediately regretted her actions that had frightened Wei Jiangxue. She frowned, told Wei Jiangxue not to move, and got up to go to the living room to get the first-aid kit.

Wei Jiangxue gasped, and after a while, she touched the spot on her calf that was throbbing with pain, but was stopped halfway by Mi Rui'an.

"Don't touch it, let me help you." Mi Rui'an's clear and cool voice was very effective, and Wei Jiangxue's mind cleared up a bit after hearing what she said.

The moisture in her eyes made Wei Jiangxue uncomfortable. She raised her hand to wipe her eyes, her gaze looking helplessly ahead.

Blindness is truly a troublesome condition. In the days immediately following her regaining consciousness, Wei Jiangxue kept bumping into herself in the rented room, making it even more difficult to go outside. Even with a white cane, the tactile paving was sometimes blocked by debris or suddenly cut off. For a blind person, this kind of travel environment was extremely unfavorable, with danger lurking everywhere.

That's why when 233 mentioned that even cannon fodder need to find jobs, she asked if she could stay home.

The world, devoid of any visible sight, was eerily quiet. Sometimes, Wei Jiangxue needed to chat with 233 to fall asleep.

The cannon fodder Alpha lived an extremely luxurious life, which also made things convenient for Wei Jiangxue. The mobile phone she inherited was designed for visually impaired users, so she didn't need to save money to buy more feature-rich electronic products.

Wei Jiangxue rarely relies on the voice assistant on her phone, because 233 is there to guide her. 233 can handle tasks like checking maps, reading and writing comments, and even warn her about obstacles ahead and whether vehicles are turning right in the road she's crossing…

So when Wei Jiangxue woke up again after the car accident and found herself blind, she didn't fall into too much sadness. Even if she was sad occasionally, she was able to cheer herself up.

But 233 is busy with work right now, and it's unclear when he'll be back. Plus, I've been injured, so the mission has definitely failed...

Why did all these misfortunes specifically befall her?

Long-suppressed emotions suddenly surged into her heart, Wei Jiangxue's nose tingled, and warm tears welled up in her eyes before falling in a steady stream.

The hands that were wiping Wei Jiangxue's wounds suddenly stopped. After a moment, Wei Jiangxue heard Mi Rui'an speak stiffly: "...Don't cry. I won't cause you any trouble. It's just that I went into the wrong room. It's normal. Maybe one day when I'm not thinking clearly, I might go into the wrong room again."

Wei Jiangxue had only been sobbing quietly at first, but upon hearing her words, she cried even louder.

Judging from Mi Rui'an's words and tone, it was clear that she didn't believe the reason Mi Rui'an was making up. She was just saying something to comfort Mi Rui'an because Mi Rui'an was crying.

Please, she came here to steal clothes! Why is the protagonist being so kind? It will only make Wei Jiangxue more embarrassed.

That's what she thought, but she couldn't easily suppress her emotions. Wei Jiangxue covered her face and cried, while Mi Rui'an quickened the pace of treating her wounds, and after finishing, she sat down next to Wei Jiangxue.

Wei Jiangxue felt the bed next to her sink a little, and a warm source was right next to her.

Knowing that Mi Rui'an was watching her at that moment, and that she had made a complete fool of herself, Wei Jiangxue didn't want to care about that damn mission anymore, and she started to wail.

Anyway, the cannon fodder character played by Wei Jiangxue is an unreasonable person, so it's reasonable for her to cry, right?

Even at this point, Wei Jiangxue still had the mind to think about how out of character she was; she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Mi Rui'an was on the verge of losing her temper. It had been a long time since she had encountered someone as naive and somewhat foolish as Wei Jiangxue. Her accomplices and enemies were all extremely cunning and treacherous. Mi Rui'an dared not underestimate them at all. On the contrary, she tried her best to imagine how insidious and cunning they were and guarded against all possible traps.

In Mi Rui'an's view, people who can't hide their bad intentions when they are slightly frightened are truly rare.

Similarly, she lacked experience in dealing with this kind of person. Faced with Wei Jiangxue, who was crying incessantly, Mi Rui'an could only helplessly say a few words of advice, "Don't cry," before hearing the other person's voice get even louder.

Mi Rui'an gritted her teeth and decided to use even more shocking information to scare the other person: "Stop crying. I knew all along that you came to my room to steal clothes. I installed surveillance cameras. Last time, I also knew that you took my clothes and ring, but I deliberately didn't tell you. I just scared you and found your reaction quite amusing. I didn't ask you to take them back because I don't like my things being touched by others, so I simply didn't want them anymore."

Wei Jiangxue's sobs stopped abruptly, and she raised her face in disbelief: "You...you knew everything!"

Mi Rui'an hadn't expected anything, but to her surprise, Wei Jiangxue actually stopped crying.

She sighed deeply and met those tearful, blind eyes. Wei Jiangxue looked so pitiful. If Mi Rui'an hadn't known that Wei Jiangxue disliked her and was usually extremely arrogant, she probably would have softened and felt sorry for her.

"Yes, I know everything. From the first day I moved in, you've been picking on me, and later you didn't even bother to pretend anymore, seizing every opportunity to mock and ridicule me. Although your level was terrible, like children playing house, I could tell you were just trying to provoke me, right?"

Looking back on her life after moving in, Mi Rui'an was surprised to find that she could remember every sarcastic remark Wei Jiangxue made, as well as the other person's expression at the time.

Wei Jiangxue, her thoughts exposed, stammered, "Provoke you? You think too highly of yourself!"

Mi Rui'an wasn't angry; in fact, her tone was quite calm: "Fine, you didn't intend to provoke me, so you want to coexist peacefully with me?"

"This wasn't in the script!" Wei Jiangxue was bewildered. "I didn't intend to be friendly with you either..."

"Hmm, she didn't intend to get along with me, but instead came to steal my clothes and sneak a peek at the smell in my room." Mi Rui'an didn't believe Wei Jiangxue's words at all, and even started to expose her shortcomings.

"I said no, and that's final!" Wei Jiangxue realized that things were getting out of control. Her behavior, as described by Mi Rui'an, seemed to imply that she really wanted to contact Mi Rui'an, and even had a perverted connotation.

Only Wei Jiangxue and 233 knew that they hadn't come here to be friends with Mi Rui'an!

She wants to be the cannon fodder Alpha who bullies Mi Rui'an!

The existence that Mi Rui'an loathes, resents, and wants to suppress and retaliate against!
