Am I destined to be cannon fodder? Unlock the system and lead the motherland

Chapter 62 Squid, you are so miserable

"But, I've learned a trick recently: 'When you've reached the limit of endurance, there's no need to endure it anymore.'"

After saying this, Yun Ximo blinked provocatively, her expression clearly saying, "Not convinced? Come and bite me. Remember to wear your braces, or you'll break your teeth!"

Lu Yuxuan was so angry that she was shaking all over. Her carefully styled hair seemed to be trembling and could turn into a messy bird's nest at any time.

Speaking of Yun Ximo, in Lu Yuxuan's eyes, she was just a small cabbage in the vegetable garden - you could pinch it at will! But who would have thought that this "little cabbage" would suddenly change and fight back today.

"You...you country bumpkin, what gives you the right to talk to me like that? Do you know that you're digging your own grave by doing this?"

To be honest, if anger could generate electricity, Lu Yuxuan could definitely power the entire community now, and it would be more than enough!
Yun Ximo, who was having a silent chopstick battle with the boiled squid, was hit in the eardrum by Lu Yuxuan's voice, which was sharper than a tweeter.

The chopsticks in my hand were so scared that they made an emergency brake before free fall. The boiled squid that I had picked up with great difficulty and was about to put into my mouth, like a prisoner who had been freed, slipped out of the restraint of the chopsticks and landed on the coffee table, leaving a light trace of sauce as its "landing mark".

The expression on Yun Ximo's face changed from cloudy to overcast, with a few small hailstones. She was so depressed that her expression was as monotonous as a black and white TV.

"It's a shame for Lu Yuxuan's voice not to be used in Peking Opera. My squid, you died miserably, you 'mealtime killer'! It's all because of this 'high pitched cannon'!"

Then, while trying hard to maintain her expression, Yun Ximo stared directly at Lu Yuxuan with her phoenix eyes, and forced the corners of her mouth upwards, squeezing out a signature smile that said "You're finished."

"Oh? Sister Lu, you're treating me, Yun Ximo, like some old family dough, and you're addicted to kneading it, right? You think I'm that big coward who says, 'If you say east, I won't go west. If you say jump off a cliff, I won't swim.' I'm that little white rabbit who trembles at the slightest provocation and can't even resist? Cowardice has become my byword?"

There was a hint of teasing and sharpness in Yun Ximo's words.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuxuan's face instantly turned from "naturally pale" to a pale blue, like a goose stewed in an iron pot. Her lips trembled slightly, as if something was stuck in her throat. It took her a long time to squeeze out a few words: "You...you are."

But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, they became soft and fluffy like a popped balloon, completely losing their previous arrogance.

The tone of his voice sounded as if he was confirming a fact that he himself didn't want to believe.

Yun Ximo curled her lips, her sneer like falling snowflakes in winter. "Me? I'm just an ordinary person who finally learned to protect myself and no longer allows people like you to bully me. As for you, Lu Yuxuan, you only know how to bully others all day long to show your presence. It's a pity, this is not your Lu family. No one will obey you unconditionally like a servant. If you have princess syndrome, just stay at home and don't come out to hurt others and yourself."

In the original owner's memory, Lu Yuxuan was not only Yun Yimeng's right-hand man who bullied the original owner, but also the culprit who treated her like a free servant.

At school, Lu Yuxuan led her small group to blatantly bully the original owner.

The original owner was like a little mouse being toyed with by a cat. He was clearly so miserable that he could brew a pot of tea, but he still had to be possessed by a Ninja Turtle because he knew that even if he went to complain with tears in his eyes, the response he would probably get would be: "Oh, it's just a fight between children, don't make a big deal about it."

Yun Ximo decisively turned on the "block Lu Yuxuan's crazy mother-in-law mode" and closed the annoying pop-up ads with one click on the phone, cleanly and neatly!

She picked up her chopsticks again and was busy having a deep conversation with the food in front of her.

"Well, this braised pork has just the right amount of fat and lean meat. Greasy? Not at all!"

It transforms into silky chocolate in my mouth in a second, and melts in my mouth with a light sip.

Yun Ximo ate the dish with relish and gave it a thumbs up in her heart.

"There's also steamed fish," her chopsticks moved lightly between the plates of delicious food, and she was so happy that bubbles of fragrance were almost floating out of her!

"Speaking of this jade tofu, it's like Lin Daiyu in the tofu world. It's so tender that you can squeeze out water. Take a sip and the bean fragrance is like the taste of first love, quietly blooming on the tip of your tongue.

"As for Lu Yuxuan's little tricks, they were just pebbles on the road. With one kick, boom—they flew into the sky.

She's too lazy to play those little games of pretending with her. If I have that much free time, I might as well have a few more 'love affairs on the tip of my tongue' with these delicious dishes. After all, if the food doesn't let me down, I won't let the food down either!"

Lu Yuxuan was so scared by Yun Ximo's sharp little mouth that she was like a toothless tiger. She could only stare with her eyes wide open and shoot Yun Ximo with unwilling eyes. Unfortunately, Yun Ximo didn't tremble at all and was as steady as an old dog.

Inside the box, the atmosphere was eerily calm, as if nothing had just happened and everyone was very calm.

The camera turned to another corner of our box, where two men, Xie Jing and Wei Qi, continued their conversation without interruption. The war in the outside world had nothing to do with them.

Xie Jing's eyes were filled with surprise. "Yun Ximo, usually she looks quite quiet, but when she gets angry, she's really fierce!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Qi followed Xie Jing's gaze and naturally glanced at Yun Ximo.

The girl was seen sitting on the sofa, happily eating delicious food. The "battle" just now was probably just like a small yawn to her.

Yun Ximo was relaxed and at ease here, while Lu Yuxuan's face was so distorted with anger that it could be in a horror movie. It was a sharp contrast between the "calm sister" and the "bosozoku".

Xie Jing felt that Yun Ximo’s little demeanor was so cute that it could melt an elephant!
He thought to himself, how could there be such a girl in this world who is so aggressive and yet makes people want to pinch her face?
He recalled the information he had investigated and found that Yun Ximo in the past was indeed a completely different person compared to now. This made Xie Jing stunned, and his eyes involuntarily swept across Lu Yuxuan not far away.

Xie Jing frowned, his mind full of doubts about why Yun Ximo was bullied by Lu Yuxuan. Could it be that Bian Chi was completely unaware of this?

Lu Yuxuan felt a surge of grievance in her heart as she thought of Yun Ximo's bullying of her without using any swear words, and the two men in the box who stood by and watched indifferently without moving a muscle.

Lu Yuxuan sniffed uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face. She stomped her feet and roared at Yun Ximo like a lion: "Yun Ximo, you! Go! Die!" Then she performed a duet of "Go! Die! Die," fearing that Yun Ximo couldn't hear her.

But what about Yun Ximo? She sneered, "Your fighting ability is as weak as a chicken pecking at rice. I can't even find a WiFi signal here."

This smile immediately turned Lu Yuxuan's anger into "lukewarm water", making her anger seem like throwing a small stone into the Pacific Ocean, without even causing a ripple.

At this time, the food on the table had basically completed its mission and surrendered one by one, leaving only a pile of clean plates, shining with a victorious but slightly lonely light under the light.

Yun Ximo patted her round belly in satisfaction. It was getting late, so she had to leave. So, she raised her head and glanced at Xie Jing, who was not far away. She thought to herself: This guy still has some conscience. At least he didn't let me go hungry and get bullied. Since you are sincere in giving me this meal, I will temporarily put aside those trivial matters with you.

"Xie Jing, thank you for saving my hungry stomach. This meal made me feel the warmth of the world. Otherwise, my stomach would have rebelled and declared itself king!"

Yun Ximo speaks better than Chongqing noodles, but she lacks the gentleness of Lin Daiyu.

When Lu Yuxuan heard her rude words, her inner universe exploded again, burning hotter than a hot pot: "No quality!" These three words were almost squeezed out from between her teeth.

Luo Luo rushed online at lightning speed, but as soon as he showed his head, he ran into Yun Ximo's "Clean Plate Campaign". A table full of delicious food said, "We were here before, and then... it was gone."

Lolo's little head exploded instantly, with a hundred thousand questions and exclamation marks, and the electronic components inside screamed collectively.

[Oh my god! You ate it so cleanly, leaving no residue?!]

[Wuwuwu——Where's my share? You're a girl, do you have a black hole in your stomach?]

Yun Ximo tried hard to suppress her laughter. She blinked and said, "Lolo, don't be sad. I took care of your share as well. So, if we round it up, we can be considered to be sharing it!"

Luo Luo, immediately fell into the electronic version of "speechless and choked" state: "..."

What kind of sharing is this? It's clearly a one-sided act of bullying!

When Lu Yuxuan began to abuse Yun Ximo harshly again, Xie Jing couldn't help but frown slightly, and his low and magnetic voice rang out.

He glanced at Lu Yuxuan coldly and said, "Have you said enough? Now, get out of here immediately."

Lu Yuxuan's face turned pale in an instant. She asked unwillingly, "Brother Ji Zhao, you're actually going to drive me away for this woman?"

Xie Jing's expression remained as indifferent as before. He replied calmly, "If I remember correctly, we're not familiar with each other, right? But you keep pestering me, which is a nuisance to me."

When Lu Yuxuan heard this, her eyes quickly turned red and tears fell from her eyes.

Her lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just glared at Yun Ximo angrily, turned around and left quickly, leaving behind the sound of her high heels hitting the ground, which was particularly harsh in this quiet box.

Yun Ximo stood up and teased nonchalantly, "You're so repulsive. Look how much you've broken this girl's heart. It could be pieced together into a mosaic."

Xie Jing shook his head helplessly: "I just don't like unnecessary trouble. Rather than getting into trouble in the future, I'd better draw a clear line directly."

Yun Ximo blinked her eyes, with an expression that said "I understand, I understand" on her face, and said with a smile: "Alright, you, the flower of Gaoling, continue to bloom. I, a commoner, will not join in the fun, lest your icy face freeze a few more innocent people. Bye, and leave!"

After saying that, she waved her hand, put on some oil on her feet, and ran away.

As Xie Jingyun and Ximo walked away, a faint smile appeared on the corner of their mouth.

"Is he really that scary?"

-

Luo Luo put on his "I'm the most serious system" expression again and said, "Momo, you better be careful. Lu Yuxuan is definitely not a pushover. She's the one who leads the bullying of the original owner at school."

Yun Ximo raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard Luo Luo's belated "information": "I already found this in the original owner's memory a long time ago."

Luoluo: "..."

It quickly changed the channel again, almost wanting to turn into a loud speaker: [Oh, oh, oh, that guy Xie Jing is so handsome! Would you consider flirting with him? Maybe you two could spark love!]

Speaking of this, Luo Luo had a crazy look on her face, imagining the sweet interaction between Yun Ximo and Xie Jing, with an unknown liquid hanging from the corner of her mouth - oh no, it was saliva.

Yun Ximo looked at Luo Luo's expression, her lips twitching twice. "Did this guy secretly download some dating strategy app again? Why does he smell like a matchmaker?"

She helplessly answered bluntly, "What? Xie Jing? You want me to flirt with him? Come on, compared to those good-looking but useless handsome men, I still prefer my gourmet friends. After all, gourmet food doesn't break my heart, it only satisfies my stomach."

A stunned Luo Luo stood there in a tumble, seemingly confused by the logic. She paused for a few seconds before mumbling something in a gloomy voice. "Why is it so hard to find a like-minded host who's interested in flirting with handsome guys these days?"

Luo Luo hung his head and said, "Okay, you win."

[No, weren't you like a duck in water in "The Making of a Handsome Guy" before, hugging girls left and right, enjoying the freedom of love in the digital world?]

[Why, all of a sudden, those 2D little brothers are no longer popular? ]

Luo Luo screamed at a volume so exaggerated that it could shatter the eardrums.

"Oh, that's right. I just suddenly realized that the delicacies on Earth that actually exude fragrance and make people feel incredibly happy are my true love! After all, who can resist the warmth of hot pot, the smoky aroma of barbecue, and the deliciousness of crayfish waiting for me? Tell me, should I continue licking those two-dimensional handsome guys on the screen, or embrace the feast of this three-dimensional world?"

Yun Ximo replied with a serious face.

Lolo, I switched from screaming mode to mothering mode, feeling so disappointed but helpless.

[Are you trying to drive me crazy? Don't just focus on eating delicious food. Xie Jing isn't an NPC in a game, he's a real person. If you don't build a good relationship with him, and he ends up becoming the heroine's supporting role, your cannon fodder situation will be completely ruined! If you end up crying and begging to change your cannon fodder status, I won't be able to help you make up for it!]
