After being dressed as cannon fodder, I just want to live

Afraid to still go ahead?

Fang Bai stepped up to Ji Yuning's side, and walked forward side by side with her.

The hand holding her was very bony, with slender fingers holding her four fingers, and the thumb clinging to her tiger's mouth, the tightness gave Fang Bai a sense of security in the dark.

sense of security?

Fang Bai paused, and she looked sideways at the person beside her, who was already as tall as her, and what she saw when she turned her head was a pair of bright eyes that shone brightly under the dim light, and she couldn't see the emotions hidden inside. .

Suddenly, several "ghost" roars came from the wall.

Fang Bai couldn't help saying: "Xiao Ning."

Ji Yuning noticed that although they were all on the road of exploration, they responded to Fang Bai immediately, "Yeah."

Fang Bai wanted to save face, and he didn't want Ji Yuning to think she was afraid, and Ji Yuning said he wanted her to protect him, so Fang Bai said softly, "If you are afraid, go behind."

Several screams came from behind.

"... Forget it, let's go together." After finishing speaking, Fang Bai put his other hand on Ji Yuning's arm.

It was an act of ordinary people seeking asylum, Fang Bai himself did not realize it.

But Ji Yuning felt it, she pursed her lower lip, and the whole morning's intentional avoidance had no effect, or in other words, it didn't work.

No matter how far away Fang Bai is, those scenes will still appear in his mind, vividly.

The problem is not Fang Bai, but her.

Slowing down, Ji Yuning silently led Fang Bai to search for the pass.

Time passed slowly, and the surroundings were quiet, eerily quiet.

Looking away from the doll in the distance, Fang Bai looked at the child who was looking for the exit, her back was melted into the darkness, and her thin figure was instantly reliable.

"Actually, I originally wanted you and Xiaomu to be in a group." Fang Bai said, she thought that this might be an opportunity to make the relationship between the two of them go further.

As he said that, Fang Bai remembered that He Ziyan and Mu Xuerou were in front of them, and the topic jumped up: "I don't know if Xiaomu and the others have gone out."

With a "click", Ji Yuning found the secret door.

After entering another passage, Ji Yuning didn't respond to Fang Bai's question, but just said lightly: "There may be shock ahead, cover your eyes."

After finishing speaking, Ji Yuning looked at the person who had already covered her eyes, and the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.

I don't know whether it's laughing at Fang Bai's pretending not to be afraid, or laughing at her trusting herself and being obedient.

"Do you need me to cover it for you?" Fang Bai asked.

"No need," Ji Yuning said softly, "I'll do it myself."

Fang Bai was convinced: "Okay."

Ji Yuning pulled Fang Bai forward, met the NPC who suddenly appeared at the corner, ignored the dancing "ghost" and continued to move forward indifferently.

On the other hand, Fang Bai, who covered his eyes and didn't see anything, trembled uncontrollably when the "ghost" sounded.

After walking a few steps, Fang Bai heard Ji Yuning say to her, "Okay."

The next second, Ji Yuning called her: "Sister."

Fang Bai couldn't hold back his cough, put down his hands in front of his eyes, and said slightly annoyed, "What's your name, sister? Do you know if you have a different seniority?"

"Just He Ziyan?"

The light was too dark, Fang Bai couldn't see Ji Yuning's expression clearly, and even Ji Yuning's voice was calm, she couldn't hear any emotions.

Fang Bai could only smile softly: "That was a joke, can't you even hear the joke?"

Afterwards, Fang Bai said softly, "You're still called Auntie."

While talking, Ji Yuning led Fang Bai out of the aisle, looking at the two people waiting a few steps away, Ji Yuning held Fang Bai's hand tightly, "Yes."

When He Ziyan saw the two people's handshake, she stopped moving forward to greet her. She didn't call out until Fang Bai walked in front of her, "Aunt Fang."

He Ziyan's voice was a little low, and Fang Bai asked, "How is it? Have you been frightened?"

He Ziyan was taken aback when she heard Fang Bai's question, she immediately looked to her side to stop Mu Xuerou, but it was already too late.

"Yes." Mu Xuerou covered her mouth and smiled, "She was so scared that she kept crawling into my arms."

He Ziyan turned her head away, she never thought that Mu Xuerou looked delicate and soft, but she was very courageous, when others saw the ghost, they turned and ran away, but Mu Xuerou was frightened for a moment, and strode forward to ask Where is the ghost exit.

Hearing the laughter next to her ear, He Ziyan turned her head to explain, but seeing Fang Bai and Ji Yuning's hands still holding each other, she was annoyed for a moment, turned around and walked out: "Let's go, let's eat!"

After eating, several people played two more projects and left the playground.

Fang Bai sent Mu Xuerou and He Ziyan home respectively. When they got home, it was already six o'clock in the evening and it was already dark.

As soon as I entered the house, my nose was filled with the smell of food, and there was an eye-catching birthday cake on the table.

Ji Yuning stood where she was, looking at Wu Mei's figure in the kitchen, and when she heard the door opening, Wu Mei hurried out and said, "Xiao Ji, happy birthday."

Wu Mei sneered and said, "Look at your memory, if the miss called me and asked me to get the birthday cake, I would have forgotten that today is your birthday. Fortunately, the miss called early, so I would have Time to prepare."

Ji Yuning glanced at the people around her indiscriminately, then turned to Wu Mei and said, "Thank you, Aunt Wu."

"No thanks, no thanks," Wu Mei said to Fang Bai, "Miss, you and Xiao Ji came over to see if there is anything else you want to eat? I'll do it again."

Fang Bai said "hmm", took Ji Yuning's hand, and led her to the dining table.

Because Ji Yuning took the initiative to hold hands in the haunted house today, Fang Bai pulled Ji Yuning's movements naturally.

It's like...holding hands a lot.

Ji Yuning's eyelashes drooped.

Fang Bai felt that after Ji Yuning's birthday, as written in the article, Ji Yuning's attitude towards her continued to ease.

Half a year passed in a flash, during which the relationship between the two of them maintained harmony without any problems.

Although it has been stable and the temperature has not risen, it is already very good for Fang Bai. As long as it does not drop to freezing point, it shows that her efforts are effective.

In the middle of May, it happened to be a rest day, and Fang Bai was going to ask Ji Yuning to go swimming with her.

Fang Bai bought a few swimming lessons for Ji Yuning, and the effect was remarkable. From a person who is afraid of water to being able to swim freely in the water after overcoming his fear, Fang Bai couldn't help but marvel at Ji Yuning's ruthlessness hidden in his bones. You can succeed in anything you want to do.

Just as Fang Bai came out of her room and wanted to go upstairs to find Ji Yuning, Wu Mei ran upstairs quickly and said softly, "Miss, that one is here."

Fang Bai didn't understand who Wu Mei was talking about, so he frowned, "Who is it?"

Wu Mei walked to Fang Bai's side and whispered, "Chang Suyao."

Fang Bai raised his eyebrows, surprised.

She has been here for more than a year, except for the last time she had contact with Chang Suyao at Fang's house, the rest is gone. Even Fang Maozhou invited her home during the Spring Festival. In order to have less contact with Fang's family, she flew directly abroad to find Liao Li played for two weeks, and she didn't come back until after the festival.

Now that Chang Suyao came to find her, Fang Bai's intuition told Fang Bai that it must not be an easy matter.

Going downstairs, I saw Chang Suyao in a black dress sitting on the sofa, drinking tea with her head bowed.

Hearing the movement, Chang Suyao put down the cup in her hand, looked at Fang Bai with a smile, "I didn't bother you, did I?"

Fang Bai walked over, picked up the tea Wu Mei poured for her, "No."

Chang Suyao didn't lay the groundwork, and directly stated the purpose of coming today, "I'm not here today for anything else, just to send you an invitation."

Fang Bai looked at Chang Suyao, why does Mrs. Fang need to deliver the invitation in person?

Seeming to see Fang Bai's confusion, Chang Suyao smirked, and gracefully took out a red invitation card from her bag, and said, "It's not an important banquet, it's just a celebration banquet. Originally, your father thought you I won't go, so I didn't plan to send you an invitation, but then he felt that after your birthday, you will be 26 years old, and it's time to take over the company's affairs, so he wants you to meet those uncles and aunts first Let's meet, get to know each other."

Chang Suyao said: "But I told him that you probably wouldn't go, after all, you seem to be used to it, and you can't stand those constraints."

While speaking, Chang Suyao had already pushed the invitation to Fang Bai.

Looking at the ink streaks on the invitation card, Fang Bai's mouth curled into a smile.

From the first time he saw Chang Suyao, Fang Bai felt that Chang Suyao was not simple, every sentence was for her sake, but every sentence pushed her into the depths, seemingly caring, but in fact he wanted to tarnish her impression in Fang Maozhou's heart .

But now, he actually directly asked her if she had any intention of inheriting the company.

Fang Yimu is only seven years old, has her stepmother started to pave the way for him?

Fang Bai didn't have the slightest idea of ​​Fang Maozhou's property. After all, according to her plan, she would probably disappear in a year, and it was impossible to manage the company in public.

But for now, it is simply boring, it is better to find something to do.

"Thank you, auntie, you are right, I am already 26, and I can no longer just do nothing like before."

Fang Bai picked up the invitation, opened it, and said at the same time, "I will go to the celebration banquet, so please tell me about it with my dad."

Fang Bai talked about my dad one by one, making the smile on Chang Suyao's face stiff.

She thought that Fang Bai would tear up the invitation, and then idle around as usual, continuing to eat and wait for death, but the other party actually said that he wanted to take over the company?

It's not what she wants to hear.

Chang Suyao's expression quickly returned to normal, and when she was about to speak, she saw a person suddenly appearing on the stairs, and when that person looked at her indifferently, Chang Suyao asked in surprise, "Is this Xiao Ji? It's changed a lot."

Fang Bai turned his head, and saw Ji Yuning coming down the stairs with a water glass in his hand.

Maybe it was because of seeing each other every day, Fang Bai didn't think Ji Yuning had changed much, but his hair grew a little, his height increased a little, and the lines of his face became more obvious. From a distance, he looked cold and alienated.

Walking down the last step, Ji Yuning saw Fang Bai looking at her, so she turned her gaze to Chang Suyao, and called out coldly, "Mrs. Fang."

After calling, Ji Yuning walked to the kitchen.

Chang Suyao narrowed her eyes, took a sip of tea, looked at Fang Bai and said, "Your father has been nagging me that he wants to see you get married early. In the past six months, several people have proposed marriage to your father, and all the conditions are very good." No, but..."

Chang Suyao glanced in the direction of the kitchen, smiled and said nothing.

Even if Chang Suyao didn't say what happened next, Fang Bai could still guess it.

——But after knowing that you still have a child, you didn't mention it anymore.

The temperature in Fang Bai's eyes dropped, and he felt that she was right in accepting the invitation just now, for someone like Chang Suyao, even if it was for nothing, it couldn't be too simple.

"I don't need Auntie to worry about my emotional affairs." Fang Bai folded his legs, "When I get married and have children, let the old man take care of the children for me, so that I can take over the company earlier."

Chang Suyao frowned: "There is no one who asks the father to take care of the child."

It wasn't this sentence that made her frown.

"Auntie, are you willing? If you are willing to take me, there is no problem." Fang Baimei raised his eyebrows, "I just don't know who Yimu will take."

"... "

Chang Suyao came with a smile and left with a straight face.

Fang Bai watched Chang Suyao leave, and when Wu Mei closed the door, her cold brows frowned.

There was the sound of slippers rubbing against the ground behind him, and Fang Bai turned his head to see Ji Yuning coming out of the kitchen with a water glass in his hand.

The other party cast her an indifferent look.

"...Did you hear that?" For some reason, Fang Bai subconsciously said, "Auntie was just joking."
