Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Jiang Yan was in a daze until he was invited on stage.

How did the Best Actor award... end up being given to him?

What did he do to deserve it?

The award presenter beside him even patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

"Winning Best Actor for your very first movie—impressive indeed. I watched your performance in 'Doomsday Beehive,' it was outstanding. The box office success was mostly your doing. If the Best Actor wasn't for you, who else would it be?"

Jiang Yan looked into the bright eyes of that senior, then at Jiang Li's particularly noticeable face in the audience, and suddenly, his mind cleared.

Jiang Yan took the microphone, cleared his throat, looked at the golden trophy in his hand, and smiled.

"Honestly, just like you, even in my dreams, I never imagined I would win a Movie Emperor award."

"To be frank, more than half of my Weibo followers right now are still haters."

"I'm quite thankful to them, or else I might not have played the villain so convincingly."

The guests below were all amused.

Only then did Jiang Yan look at Jiang Li.

"But the one I must thank the most is, of course, my sister, Jiang Li."

"To be honest, at first, I didn't like her. I felt she took away our family's love; thought she was loud and not too bright."

"But she is my sister, and she brought me back from a lost path. I can say this Movie Emperor award was won with her help."

Jiang Yan pointed at the camera as he spoke.

"I bet many of you are still unconvinced, wondering how someone constantly trending online could be so capable."

"But my sister is that capable—not only did she bring her brother back on track, but she was also the top student in the province. Can you do that?"

Then he tossed away the microphone and shouted towards the audience:

"Jiang Li, you'll always be your brother's pride!!"

"And also, your brother is awesome too; I've become a Movie Emperor!!!"

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

Jiang Li also raised her hands and clapped.

She was usually not easily moved.

But for some reason, her nose felt a bit tingly.

Her vision also became blurred.

In the intertwining lights, she seemed to see herself from years ago, uneasy but determined, standing on stage behind Jiang Yan, looking at him with satisfaction.

She had done it.

She had successfully changed him.

And also changed the fate of this family.

Her vision gradually cleared, and the Jiang Li of the past slowly faded from the stage.

But their brilliant future was just beginning.

...

"Doomsday Beehive" not only won both the Best Actor and Actress awards but also bagged the Best Film award.

Shao Changqing never expected that the dream he worked his entire life for would suddenly come true one day.

Overjoyed, he directly booked a helicopter to take the whole crew out to celebrate.

But Jiang Li couldn't go.

Because school had started.

In her previous life, she had indeed attended college.

But it was just an unknown vocational school.

On reporting day, she didn't even bother to go herself and had someone else do it for her.

So today marked the first time in her two lives that she formally set foot through a university's gates.

Hua University's architecture was half Chinese, half European.

The gate was designed by a famous architect from the last century, grand and magnificent.

To avoid drawing attention, Jiang Li specially took a taxi here today, wearing an extremely low-key simple white dress.

Yet, even like this, she still attracted quite a bit of attention.

"That girl is so beautiful, who is she?"

"It's hard to see clearly with that hat, but so fair."

"Wait, that figure, isn't it Jiang Li?!"

"Jiang Li?! She's already reporting so early?!"

With one call, a crowd of dozens quickly gathered around.

Luckily, Jiang Cheng had anticipated this, and with a long arm, he blocked in front of Jiang Li, looking at the surrounding people not very politely.

"Don't crowd here. If a single hair on my sister's head is touched, you'll be sorry."

Jiang Li: "....."

This kid just won the Eastern Hemisphere Physics Star, right?

Why does he still talk like such a teenager?

Who knew, in the next second, a girl with starry eyes held out paper and pen to him.

"It's fine, since Lili can't sign, you sign instead. I'm your fan too!"

Jiang Cheng: "....."

"Little, little junior sister, over here!"

A strong voice came from outside the crowd.

It was their senior brother from the master's school.

Wu Pei had long anticipated that Jiang Li might get blocked, so he had arranged a shortcut in advance.

With the senior brother leading the way, Jiang Li quickly completed the enrollment procedures.

The senior brother was also very thoughtful, directly placing a small box in front of her.

"This is the back-to-school gift package from our master's school for you, little junior sister. It should contain everything you need. Hope you like it."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Since it's prepared by my senior brothers and sisters, I'd be glad to accept it."

Senior brother chuckled and said, "Since you like it so much, why don't you lend me the notes for another two days?"

...

The literature courses were interesting, and given Jiang Li's inherent interest in these things, she quickly adapted.

Some professors even invited her to teach classes.

After all, being a student of Elder Wu, she was bound to have some skills.

This way, she became immensely popular at Hua University.

Whenever she attended a lecture, the classroom and surroundings were always packed with people.

But there were exceptions.

Like this dull and boring public lecture.

Jiang Li looked at the economics book in front of her and felt a bit headache.

Back when she registered for courses, she was dragged shopping by Wen Jiaojiao, missing the best opportunity.

She ended up only choosing this economics management course.

Although she was eager to learn new knowledge, Elder Wu had also assigned her numerous tasks; newly discovered documents needed urgent organization, so she had no choice but to bring the documentation work to the classroom.

As soon as she turned on the computer, Jiang Li immersed herself in research.

Until a familiar voice sounded above her head—

"Student, it's not proper to look at other things during class."

Jiang Li thought she was hallucinating, but upon looking up, she saw a familiar face.

Smiling eyes full of amusement—it was none other than Zhao Lang, who could it be?

She froze for a few seconds and blurted out.

"Why? You're back?"

The gaze then fixated on his hair.

"You dyed your hair black?"

The nearby classmates began to whisper.

"Who's this girl? Acting chummy with our handsome teacher?"

"So annoying, does any student talk to their teacher like this?"

"How long have you guys been offline? That's Jiang Li! She's Mr. Gu's fiancée!"

Zhao Lang coughed lightly, "This will take a while... Come to my office after class."

Immediately, there was a chorus of boos around.

Zhao Lang instantly restored his cold demeanor.

"Quiet, let's continue the class."

...

"So what's going on?"

Jiang Li placed her computer on the table, looking down at the man in front of her.

Zhao Lang scratched his head in embarrassment.

"I just returned from overseas. The dean of this business school is a friend of my grandfather's. I owed him a favor, and he insisted I come as a guest lecturer, so here I am."

"I mean, why didn't you say anything about coming back?"

Zhao Lang stood up.

"I wanted to surprise you."

Then he took out a brocade box from behind him.

"A gift for you."

Jiang Li opened the box, inside was a Buddha bead.

It was almost identical to the one she had ground for dealing with Su Yinwan.

"I went through mountains and rivers to get this, it's probably the only one left in the world. Don't take risks anymore in the future."

This bead was found by him while wandering abroad in a previous life.

Originally, this time he went out just to try his luck.

Unexpectedly, he actually found it.

The Buddha bead originally had 12 pieces, not one less.

Jiang Li examined the bead for a long time, clutching it in her palm.

"Young Master Gu has given such a big gift, how can I reciprocate?"

Zhao Lang leaned closer again.

"Just give yourself to me."

Jiang Li couldn't help but be disdainful, directly covering his mouth.

"Enough, stop saying such cheesy and corny things."

With that, she picked up her computer again, "I'm going to find the teacher, after I'm done I'll come back to you."

Watching her white dress disappear from his view, Zhao Lang felt somewhat forlorn.

"Really heartless, after all this time, only has eyes for studying..."

Just as he was muttering to himself, that white dress suddenly turned back.

Before he could see clearly, a soft touch came from his lips.

Zhao Lang's mind buzzed, losing all signal.

Seeing Jiang Li's triumphant smile.

"Compensating you."

"A lifetime is long, repay slowly."

"This time, the contract is for a permanent term."
