Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

Chapter 136 Cannon Fodder Campus White Moonlight 18

Qi Huajiang has woken up and is sitting up in bed.

As soon as he saw Qi Ning enter, he yelled, "You still know to come see your father? Have you been hoping I'd die all along?"

Qi Ning did not deny it, but only said, "Dad, you've been drinking again."

"What's wrong with me having a little drink? I'll drink if I want to!"

As he spoke, he instructed Qi Ning, "Pour me a glass of water."

Qi Ning moved aside, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Qi Huajiang.

After drinking some water, Qi Huajiang said, "My head is killing me, please massage it for me."

Seeing Qi Ning standing motionless by the hospital bed, he urged again, "Hurry up!"

Qi Ning then took two steps closer and reached out to massage Qi Huajiang's temples.

Qi Huajiang was indeed not very honest. Before Qi Ning had been massaging for long, he complained, "Do you even know how to massage? Haven't you eaten?"

As he spoke, he reached out to touch Qi Ning's hand: "I'll teach you."

The moment he touched Qi Ning's fingertips, Qi Ning abruptly pulled her hand back.

Qi Huajiang's expression suddenly changed, and he reached out and pinched Qi Ning's face hard: "Hey, you burden, you can't even do this little thing right, and you still dare to give me attitude?"

"If it weren't for you, why would Mary have broken up with me? Let me tell you, if I can't get a wife, you won't have an easy time either!"

If Qi Ning hadn't known that Pei Mo was watching from outside the ward, she would have knocked out that old bastard Qi Huajiang and given him a good beating.

But Pei Mo was right outside the ward, and Qi Ning just looked aggrieved and said, "Dad, I didn't know you and Aunt Mei broke up. What does this have to do with me?"

Qi Huajiang tightened his grip, pinching Qi Ning's face even more: "How can it be nothing? If you dare to talk back again, I'll tear your mouth apart, and you can forget about going to university!"

Qi Huajiang only let go after Qi Ning cried out in pain.

Qi Ning quickly took a step back, looking at Qi Huajiang with fear.

Pei Mo did indeed witness this scene from outside the door.

When he returned from paying Qi Ning's bill, he saw Qi Ning massaging Qi Huajiang's temples through the glass window of the ward door.

This wouldn't normally be anything special, but Qi Huajiang's gaze was strange. It wasn't the look a father would give his daughter, but rather...

Sure enough, the next second, he reached out to touch Qi Ning's hand.

As soon as Qi Ning tried to dodge, he pinched Qi Ning's face again.

Qi Huajiang's reprimand of Qi Ning was exceptionally loud, and Pei Mo could hear it clearly even through the hospital room door.

His expression gradually became serious.

Now, Pei Mo finally understood why Qi Ning had been so hesitant.

She was afraid of her stepfather, so she wanted someone to be with her.

But she was afraid that people would find out about this, so she wanted him to leave.

Qi Huajiang only let her go after he scolded Qi Ning again, and Qi Ning said she wanted to ask the doctor about her condition.

Seeing that Qi Ning was about to come out, Pei Mo retreated to the corner of the corridor, and then pretended to have just returned from paying the bill and walked back to the ward.

Qi Ning left the ward, closed the door, and frantically wiped her face as if it were dirty.

She didn't stop until she wiped her already red face until it turned even redder.

When she looked up, she saw Pei Mo walking towards her.

"Pei... Pei Mo, why are you back so soon?" she asked in a panic.

"Yeah, I just got back." Pei Mo looked at her face and asked, feigning ignorance, "What happened to your face? It's so red."

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just a little itchy. I rubbed it, it's probably an allergic reaction."

As she spoke, she fiddled with her short hair, covering her face.

"That's it."

"By the way, did you pay my bill? I'll pay you back later," Qi Ning said, changing the subject.

Pei Mo readily agreed, saying, "I've paid."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Pei Mo then said, "Should we hire a caregiver for Uncle? You're busy studying right now, so it's not convenient for you to take care of him at the hospital, right?"

“He won’t agree,” Qi Ning replied.

What wouldn't you agree to?

Is it because you want your stepdaughter to take care of you, and therefore disagree with hiring a caregiver?

The next moment, Qi Ning added as if trying to cover up the truth: "He is reluctant to spend money to hire a caregiver, so I plan to ask the doctor if he can be discharged today, since it's not that serious anyway."

"it is good."

The two went to the doctor's office together, but only Qi Ning went in; Pei Mo still didn't.

Not long after, Qi Ning came out.

"How did it go?" Pei Mo asked.

"The doctor said it's not serious. After the IV drip, I can be discharged this afternoon."

When she said that, her expression was noticeably more relaxed.

"Hmm." Pei Mo responded, then suddenly handed Qi Ning an alcohol swab, seemingly having gotten it from somewhere.

"Isn't your face having an allergic reaction? Should I apply some ointment?"

Qi Ning quickly took it, lowered her head, and carefully wiped her face with the alcohol swab, whispering, "Thank you."

Pei Mo originally wanted to send Qi Ning and Qi Huajiang back together, but Qi Ning refused.

“Your car…my dad might be scared, I’d better take a taxi.”

Pei Mo looked at her but didn't insist.

But after Qi Ning brought Qi Huajiang home, Pei Mo called Qi Ning again.

It was only a little past five in the afternoon when Qi Huajiang, suffering from a headache, went to sleep.

"Pei Mo, what's wrong?"

“I’m downstairs at your place, come down here,” Pei Mo said.

Qi Ning hid behind the curtains, looking down at the car that had followed her all the way. A smile played in her eyes as she softly replied, "Okay."

A few minutes later, Qi Ning got into Pei Mo's car downstairs.

"Pei Mo, what are you doing here?"

Pei Mo explained without changing his expression, "I remember you and Wen Xuheng are neighbors, and I happen to know Wen Xuheng's address, so I came over."

"Yes, is there anything I can help you with? I just saw my dad upstairs."

Pei Mo looked at her and said, "I suddenly remembered that you seem to have left something in my study. Do you want to go get it?"

"Really?" Qi Ning thought for a moment, and seemed to believe him. "Alright then, I'll go there. Wait for me, my phone is still upstairs."

Qi Ning made a move to get out of the car, but Pei Mo called her back.

"and many more."

Qi Ning turned around.

Pei Mo said with a serious expression, "The college entrance examination is just around the corner. Is what you said about studying abroad true or false, or do you actually want to go to Peking University with Han Yuchen?"

Qi Ning didn't understand why Pei Mo would suddenly bring this up, but she quickly said, "Of course it's true!"

Qi Ning said urgently, "I want to go abroad. I only lied to Han Yuchen when I told him I wanted to go to Peking University."

Pei Mo didn't seem surprised by the answer: "In that case, let me tell you the truth, your current grades are far from enough to apply to schools abroad."

"Ah..." Qi Ning clenched her hands nervously.

"Don't think I'm bluffing you. Look at yourself. You have to deal with Han Yuchen at school, so you don't have much time to study. After school and on weekends, your stepfather is either bringing his girlfriend home or causing trouble while drunk. How can you possibly have time to study properly under these circumstances?"

"Then, what do you think I should do? I really want to go abroad, Pei Mo."

"You need a good environment to study. Why don't you move to my house during this period before the college entrance examination? You can use my study anytime and anywhere without worrying about being disturbed by anyone."

He spoke these words in a natural manner.

"Would you like me to move in with you?"

Qi Ning looked at Pei Mo in surprise.

This was somewhat unexpected for Qi Ning.

She originally thought that once Pei Mo found out about this, he would most likely ask her about the situation.

But to her surprise, Pei Mo didn't ask anything or even mention a word. He just made up an excuse to keep her away from Qi Huajiang.

To protect her dignity?

“Yes, we’ll stay in the same room you stayed in the night before,” Pei Mo said.

"This...is this not a good idea..." Qi Ning hesitated.

Do you still want to go abroad?

"Yes! I want to! Then I'll listen to you and move there."

It would be great to stay at Pei Mo's house.

Qi Ning originally only wanted Pei Mo to know about this matter, but she didn't expect there to be an unexpected surprise.

She readily agreed.

"Okay." Pei Mo finally responded, "Then go upstairs and pack your luggage now."

That very evening, Qi Ning officially moved into Pei Mo's house.

Qi Huajiang was unaware of the situation at first. After he recovered, he started going out to have fun and staying out all night again.

Several days later, Qi Huajiang realized something was wrong.

When he called Qi Ning to question her, Qi Ning only said that she was staying at a classmate's house.

Qi Huajiang scolded her, and finally said, "Fine, if you have the guts, don't ever come back, and don't ask me for money for college!"

"Oh."

Qi Ning didn't pay any attention and hung up the phone directly.

She's busy studying now, so she doesn't have time to pay attention to that old geezer Qi Huajiang.

Putting everything else aside, living at the Pei family's house is indeed comfortable and quiet, making my study efficiency top-notch.

I don't know what Pei Mo said to Yang Ma, but even meals don't need Qi Ning to cook for herself. Yang Ma has arranged everything, so she can just focus on her studies.

As for her relationship with Pei Mo, it remains a purely platonic "roommate" relationship.

Two months passed quickly.

At this point, there was only one month left until the college entrance examination.

That day, when get out of class ended, Han Yuchen pulled Qi Ning back and said to her, "Bookworm, this weekend is my birthday, remember to make arrangements in advance."

"What do you mean by arranging the time in advance?" Qi Ning asked.

Han Yuchen curled his finger and tapped Qi Ning's forehead: "Of course you're going to my birthday party, are you stupid?"

"Oh." Qi Ning rubbed her forehead. "I understand."

The school bell rang, and Han Yuchen didn't have time to explain in detail.

He originally planned to have a good talk with Qi Ning after school, but as soon as school was over, Qi Ning disappeared somewhere.

Lately, Qi Ning has been running home from school so fast that Han Yuchen can't catch her.

Wen Xuheng also found it strange.

Wen Xuheng was, after all, Qi Ning's neighbor. Even though his parents didn't allow him to have too much contact with Qi Ning, they still ran into each other every now and then since they lived in the same place.

However, in the past two months, Wen Xuheng has not encountered Qi Ning even once.
