Li Jing resumed her normal life of going to school and working.
—After donating all her assets.
Ye Yan had returned, and the male leads would definitely spend their main energy accompanying her.
After returning to the country, Ye Yan’s physical condition seemed to be not very good, and they were all worried that there might be some major problems.
However, in their spare time, they always thought of that person.
Li Jing: Nonsense, the data is so high, you have to believe in hormone levels, my old bros^_^
So these days, she would either meet Feng Ce at school or see Fu Lingchu’s car outside the cake shop.
Fu Lingchu sat in the car, looking at Li Jing through the window as she packed bags for customers, her movements were quick and her life was fulfilling. She had tied her hair in a high ponytail, and some strands of hair fell on her fair face. The male student opposite her was so captivated by her that he almost forgot to take the bag.
Li Jing was like a beautiful but ordinary female college student. No one knew how much she had contributed to society, what she had gained and what she had given up.
He gave her a home, but she wouldn’t go back.
Fu Lingchu watched her from afar, and Li Jing’s broken words began to echo in his ears: “Fu Lingchu, let me go!”
Let her go…?carpreads.pages.dev
This thought lingered in his mind.
But as if it were a cruel joke from heaven—
Just as he had the thought of letting her go, she was pushed back by fate itself.
—Ye Yan was seriously ill. Chronic aplastic anemia, her bone marrow had a problem, her hematopoietic function was low, so she needed long-term blood transfusions to maintain her life.
And Ye Yan’s blood type was very rare, the three male leads couldn’t donate even if they wanted to. After a nationwide matching, the suitable donor was actually right beside them—
It was Li Jing.
Fu Lingchu, Feng Ce, and Du Jinghuai all received this news.
Li Jing at this moment: Laughing to death.
This was the classic cliché melodrama!
At this point, looking at their 99% similarity in appearance, it was hard not to think that they might be long-lost sisters. Although the original text didn’t explicitly say so, Ye Yan probably already figured this out.
And the male leads in the original plot were all focused on saving their White Moonlight, and even later they took one of the original owner’s kidneys. When the truth came to light, they discovered that Ye Yan didn’t need a kidney at all, but by then, the original owner was already gone! It was too late for the male leads to be heartbroken!
The female lead of a melodramatic novel, so tragic.
Before falling into a coma, Ye Yan said to them, “Don’t hurt anyone for my sake…”
But how could the male leads bear to let her die?
The first one to find Li Jing was Du Jinghuai.
Du Jinghuai calmly explained the situation to her and told her that as long as she could continue to donate blood, she would receive a generous reward.
Li Jing’s face turned pale, her fingers trembling. The peaceful life she had just regained was shattered by this news.
Du Jinghuai gave her time to think.
— Of course, perhaps Li Jing didn’t really have any room to refuse.
Du Jinghuai knew.
They wouldn’t let Ye Yan get hurt.
Before leaving, Du Jinghuai turned his head and asked a question: “Are you afraid… of pain?”
Li Jing lowered her head: “No, I’m not afraid.”
But as she said this, a tremor appeared on her exposed, fair neck, as if a single pang of pain would cause her to crumble.
Du Jinghuai’s gaze fell on that section of her neck, and he unconsciously imagined the scene: the needle sinking into her warm skin, the needle tip drawing out a drop of blood.
It would be… so beautiful.
—Du Jinghuai’s favorability +3%
Pervert! He really was a pervert?!
As long as the female lead suffer, this sense of fragile vulnerability would continuously increase Du Jinghuai’s favorability.
However, Du Jinghuai himself didn’t know that as his favorability increased, his excitement and desire would gradually turn into heartache and pain—after all, that was how old-fashioned romance novels worked, using harm to experience love.
The second to arrive was Feng Ce.
He hadn’t contacted Li Jing for several days, but now he stared intently at her: “As long as you don’t want to, I can… find another way.”
Even though he knew that he couldn’t think of a better solution in the short term, he just wanted to delay the harm to the person in front of him. Even though Feng Ce knew that she was just a substitute for Ye Yan from the beginning.
But… but…
The big Young Master had always done as he pleased, and he had never been so conflicted and hesitant in his life.
—Feng Ce’s favorability +3%
The young master’s heart had opened, and he had finally embarked on the melodramatic path.
Actually, Feng Ce’s emotional world was very simple—attachment and protection were the most important parts of his emotions. And for someone as straightforward and simple as him, once he felt reluctance and heartache, it basically meant that his love line had progressed to the later stages.
Next would come intense reluctance, intense heartache, and long, agonizing regret.
This was the entire process of destroying a young man.
Oh—who told him to be the handsome guy male lead of an old-fashioned romance novel?
Fu Lingchu was the last to come to Li Jing.
In the past few days, President Fu had obviously used all his power, but in the end, he still had to accept the cruel joke of fate.
His face was cold, but his eyes, filled with bloodshot veins, were fixed on Li Jing: “As long as you donate blood, your uncle’s gambling debts and your grandmother’s medical expenses will all be taken care of…”
At this point, Li Jing had nothing to say.
She only had one question.
“Is that person… a very important friend to you?”
For a moment, Fu Lingchu couldn’t face her clear eyes.
He lowered his proud head: “…Yes.”
“Okay.”
Li Jing closed her eyes: “I’ll donate.”
She agreed.
Ye Yan was saved.
But at that moment, Fu Lingchu felt a dull pain in his heart.
It wasn’t just him.
After the news came, Feng Ce couldn’t eat anything all day, and Du Jinghuai kept spacing out while accompanying Ye Yan.
A certain feeling weighed heavily upon them.
Li Jing: Does it hurt? Good, it should hurt ^_^
Come and welcome in the old-fashioned romance novel’s leeks reaping sickle!
Handsome guys, all of you dogs, pay up for me!!
When she was escorted by bodyguards to the highest vip ward in the city hospital, Li Jing only brought a reusable bag, no other luggage.
She was alone, as if she had no connection to this world.
After signing the agreement, she would become Ye Yan’s long-term blood bag.
—That was impossible!
Originally, Li Jing was going to rely on her own intelligence to get through the body-torture plot, but now—she had a cheat code! ^_^
The bodyguard went out to call a doctor and nurse to draw blood. As soon as they left, Li Jing lay down on the comfortable bed in the high-class ward and excitedly called out to someone.
“Teacher Lu—”
“Doc—tor—Lu—”
“Someone wants to draw my blood!”
Her attending physician pushed open the door and walked in.
The face under the silver hair was handsome and helpless. He met Li Jing’s sparkling gaze, walked to the bedside, and fixed a fake needle puncture for her. Then, the blood really flowed through the IV tube, filling the blood bag little by little.
Li Jing exclaimed, “Wow!” Then, she remembered something: “Will you be punished for helping me like this?”
“Hmm. No.”
After all, he had set all the rules. His existence didn’t really change Li Jing’s mission trajectory. Unless he truly defied the laws of nature in the future, he might be punished.
“That’s good—”
The ward door behind them was pushed open, and Dr. Lu slowly withdrew his hand.
It was Fu Lingchu.
He knew Li Jing was already hospitalized.
Fu Lingchu’s days of continuous fatigue and high pressure were now focused entirely on the person on the bed, and he didn’t even pay attention to the doctor next to him.
He squeezed in front of Li Jing’s hospital bed, looking down at her thin hand with the IV inserted.
Lu Mian stepped back a few steps.
Li Jing’s gaze went over the man’s shoulder and landed on him.
When Fu Lingchu wasn’t paying attention, she winked—hehe, watch me work my magic!!
Lu Mian chuckled and gave her the space.
The recent plot had been completed by her in a very impressive way, so impressive that the entire Transmigration Bureau was watching.
In the room.
Fu Lingchu didn’t speak for a long time.
He had promised to give Li Jing a home, but in the end, he gave her a hospital room.
The girl lay on her side, her cheeks pale, her blood being drawn out bit by bit.
It was as if her vitality was being drained away as well.
But Fu Lingchu knew how strong and stubborn she had been.
She would shout at him, laugh, and cry.
Fu Lingchu remained silent for a long time before he spoke hoarsely, “Don’t worry about your family… I’ll take care of everything.”
Li Jing didn’t respond.
Fu Lingchu even had a fear that she would never speak to him again in this lifetime.
But he couldn’t bring himself to leave the ward.
It wasn’t until much, much later that the girl on the bed spoke softly:
“Ye Yan—”
Fu Lingchu was startled.
She knew? No, she shouldn’t have seen Ye Yan’s face…
But Li Jing paused, looking at the sunlight outside the window at a fifty-degree angle, and said, “The person I donated blood to, is that her name? She must be okay.”
Fu Lingchu felt as if he had been hit with a blunt hammer, a metallic taste filling his mouth and chest.
—Fu Lingchu Favorability +2%
The system was excited: “This little white flower, who still has a kind heart even when pushed to the brink, is truly being manipulated by you!”
But Li Jing didn’t end her performance.
There was another level!
She continued to gaze at the sunlight, then said sadly, as if to herself, “I wonder how many girls, like Ye Yan, are enduring pain…”
Fu Lingchu was like a warrior with no defenses.
Any word she said could inflict a serious wound on him.
Fu Lingchu reached out, covering his chest where a dull pain was constricting his heart, and clearly realized that something profound and intense had been deeply imprinted there.
And, it could never be erased.
—Fu Lingchu’s favorability +3%
Good heavens, it’d already reached 80%!
So, Li Jing finally turned over from the other side, a hint of life returning to her face, which was pale from the blood transfusion, and she cautiously asked him.
“Can… can I establish a foundation like the one before, to help more girls like Ye Yan?”
System: “???”
System: “The White Moonlight would never imagine that she’s become a big victim in your hands!!”
Li Jing: “Leveraging leeks, using them wisely ^_^”
Fu Lingchu looked directly into Li Jing’s eyes, which were as pure and innocent as ever.
Even like this, even after being persecuted by fate to this point.
She was still thinking about saving others…
Fu Lingchu felt like he was about to fall into an abyss.
And she was the only light in it.
He simply couldn’t refuse.
He heard her say, “In my name, it will be called - the Li Jing Foundation.”
The young woman raised her eyes, her gaze clear and captivating.
“Okay?”
“Okay.”
