Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

"Everyone, take out the test papers we didn't finish analyzing yesterday, we'll continue..."

"We're in high school now, how can someone still be sleeping in class?!"

"I want to see who's so daring!"

"Jiang Yan! It's you again! Stand up for me!"

"Jiang Yan, wake up!"

...

...

This is the 42nd day since Shang Shuyue left.

It's also the 42nd day since Jiang Yan was blacklisted online everywhere.

Jiang Yan couldn't take it anymore and ran to Jiang Li's house, hugging her leg as soon as he entered.

"Lili, brother is begging you, please tell me where Shu Yue is?"

"Aren't you really good at figuring things out? You must know where she is, right?"

Jiang Li looked calmly at the pitiful Jiang Yan and closed her eyes, saying, "I don't want to interfere in your matters. After all, you didn't cherish her."

Jiang Li's words undoubtedly pierced Jiang Yan's heart.

He sat dazed on the floor for a long time before he stood up.

"You're right, I've been really out of line..."

"Sorry, you're about to have a wedding with Gu Yu, you must have a lot going on, I shouldn't have bothered you."

Jiang Yan turned away, feeling desolate, but Jiang Li's voice came from behind him:

"Wait a minute."

He stopped in his tracks, turning back to her with a bit of hope.

Jiang Li sneered, having already seen through him, "Don't think that by acting like this I'll tell you where Shu Yue is. It's not going to happen."

Jiang Yan: "..."

Sure enough, his sister was his biggest enemy!

"But..." Jiang Li's tone changed, "I have something else I can give you."

"What is it?"

A few minutes later, Jiang Li brought out a small box.

"These are things Shu Yue left with me before she left, I'm doing a thorough clean-up these days and have no place to put them, so you can hold on to them for now."

Jiang Yan was a bit disappointed.

But at least he found some things related to Shang Shuyue, which wasn't a bad thing.

"Alright, I'll take it."

But just as he was about to leave, Jiang Li called out to him again.

"Jiang Yan, there's something I think I should tell you."

Jiang Yan looked up, "What is it?"

"You know Shu Yue always wanted to go abroad for her PhD, right?"

"What's the matter?"

"A few months ago, she received an acceptance letter from xxxx University, but she turned it down for you."

With a "snap," something in Jiang Yan's mind broke.

Although he's clueless in academics, he knows what xxxx University means to Shang Shuyue.

That was her long-held dream.

She actually....

Jiang Li continued, "Even though she wanted us to keep it a secret, I think it's necessary to tell you now."

"All along, your relationship has been unclear and on and off, but Shu Yue is a girl after all, you can't keep being so reckless like before."

"She's really sacrificed a lot for you, I hope you realize that."

"Although I can't tell you where she is now, I want to say that this time she's truly disappointed. Even though she rejected xxxx University, she still has many other offers. Where your relationship goes from here is up to you."

Jiang Yan stumbled out of Jiang Li's house.

His mind was in turmoil.

On one hand, he selfishly didn't want Shang Shuyue to leave, on the other hand, he felt that someone as brilliant as her shouldn't be entangled with someone as messed up as him for a lifetime.

With these chaotic thoughts, he returned to the place they stayed.

Before going in, Jiang Yan stopped by the convenience store to buy a few bottles of alcohol.

He had promised Shang Shuyue he would quit drinking.

But he couldn't resist and drank a little not long ago.

Their quarrel also started because of this.

The words Shang Shuyue said before leaving still echoed in his ears—

"...Jiang Yan, you're really incorrigible, I've already lost hope in you, let's just end it here."

With a "bang," as the door closed, Shang Shuyue completely disappeared from his life.

He had managed to hold it together for over a month.

But ultimately, he couldn't withstand the long nights and endless loneliness.

Jiang Yan casually opened a bottle of alcohol and, by the dim moonlight outside the floor-to-ceiling window, opened the box Jiang Li gave him.

On the top of the box was a worn-out, very vintage-looking notebook.

He took a sip of the cold, spicy liquor and opened it.

The first thing he saw was Shang Shuyue's elegant handwriting—

[September 1st, xx year, Sunny.

School is finally starting, though with these grades, coming to First High is a bit unsatisfying, but since mom and dad are here, I managed to come to the Capital to reunite with them, I better accept it, First High isn't too bad! Gold will shine wherever it is! Go, Little Yueyue!]

It turned out to be Shang Shuyue's diary.

Shang Shuyue had told him before that her grades were good enough to get into the best high school in the Capital, but to spend more time with her parents, she came to this average First High.

Seeing this childish tone, it was as if the little her was shouting right before his eyes.

Jiang Yan couldn't help but laugh and then flipped a few pages forward.

[September 17th, xx year, Overcast.

Damn, I thought First High was supposed to be good, turns out you can get in if you have money, after all, having money is great, you can get in even if your grades are rubbish, especially that Jiang Yan in Class Three, I really don't know how a punk like him got in!]

Jiang Yan: "..."

Wasn't it said that Shang Shuyue had a crush on him since high school?

Why does the tone seem a bit off?

Thinking about this, Jiang Yan's thoughts drifted back to when he first got together with Shang Shuyue.

Their relationship was quite sudden.

It was after that Gu Yu proposed to Jiang Li.

Gu Yu proposed on Dragon Ridge Island.

In the season when autumn had just arrived, that kid carefully planted the island full of seasonal flowers.

As the sun set, the blazing red sunset painted half the sky.

Jiang Li agreed to his proposal in this scene.

That day, everyone's spirits were high.

The sea breeze carried rock music, and the bright moon spread the fragrance of wine.

Jiang Yan remembered Shang Shuyue sitting alone on a reef for a long time.

Just as he was heading over with a bottle of wine, she suddenly turned around and looked at him seriously.

"Jiang Yan, let's be together."

Honestly, he was dumbfounded at the time.

But whether it was the dazzling moonlight in Shang Shuyue's eyes or because he had drunk too much.

He inexplicably agreed.

The two were muddle-headedly together, and their days together were also a mix of joy and sorrow.

He admitted that he really didn't take this relationship to heart.

During filming, they naturally contacted each other less, but he still frequented various drinking events.

Those rumors and indifference gradually tore apart their relationship.

But every time Shang Shuyue turned and left, it pained him terribly.

Until this time when she completely disappeared, he realized he had completely fallen in love with her.

But just like the many bad roles he's played.

A late confession of love is ultimately worthless.

If he had woken up sooner, he wouldn't be in a position where he has no chance to win her back now.
