Chapter 11 The little homebody girl is unwanted, sob sob
Jiang Qiaoqiao: Everything's fine on my end, nothing's wrong. It's not fair, your memory has improved, but my legs are still the same.
After sending the message, Jiang Qiaoqiao bit her fingernails, anxiously waiting for Lin Ran's reply.
She lied; even though she could feel her feet, she told Lin Ran that she wasn't reacting.
Yesterday, even though he knew my legs were bad, he still made me try running. Did he know something about me that he didn't?
On the other side, Lin Ran, who was in class, was pondering while rubbing his chin.
This is not normal.
Logically speaking, a tacit understanding value of 30 should also mean that Jiang Qiaoqiao's legs have recovered by 30%.
Could it be that Jiang Qiaoqiao is trying to trick me into revealing information about controlling my body?
It's not impossible; this little witch has a lot of ulterior motives.
Of course, it's also possible that Jiang Qiaoqiao hasn't noticed the changes in her legs yet.
He typed.
Lin Ran: If I laugh at you, you'll be a cripple for life, hahaha!
"Jiang Qiaoqiao: #Grinning, I've put so much effort into supporting you, and this is the result? Fate really plays tricks on us."
Lin Ran: Happy.
"Jiang Qiaoqiao: I thought I would still be able to control your body at six o'clock this morning, so I got up early at five o'clock, washed up, dressed, ate breakfast, and prepared to observe the feeling when I entered your body. I didn't expect that nothing would happen."
Lin Ran: It's possible that you only controlled your body once yesterday. That's good. It's good for you and good for me. We're not from the same world, Miss Jiang.
Jiang Qiaoqiao: I'm not happy. I have limited mobility, but by controlling your body, I can experience university life, but only for one day.
"Did this guy lie to me or not? He's so cunning!" Both of them had this thought at the same time.
In class, Lin Ran noticed that Jiang Qiaoqiao had stopped sending messages, so he turned off his phone and put it in his pocket.
The more you say, the more mistakes you make; it's better to say nothing at all.
At noon, Lin Ran was eating meatballs in the cafeteria, glancing at his phone every now and then.
It was exactly 12 noon.
Lin Ran, who had been enjoying her meal, suddenly lowered her head, then raised it again a second later, her eyes filled with confusion.
"This is... um..."
As soon as Jiang Qiaoqiao opened her mouth, a few grains of rice fell out, and she quickly covered them with her hand.
She chewed it, savoring the taste, and thought to herself, "So this is what cafeteria food tastes like—heavy oil and salt—I like it!"
Jiang Qiaoqiao carefully looked around. No one was looking this way, and since she was controlling Lin Ran's body, even if she lost face, it wouldn't be hers.
Thinking of this, it felt as if a forbidden place in her heart had been opened, and she lowered her head to shovel rice into her mouth.
Especially spicy hot pot, because her body is weak, she usually has to take a lot of new medicine to treat her legs, and she is usually prohibited from eating oily and salty food.
Now we can eat to our hearts' content!
"Compared to the professional chef at your home, the food in the school cafeteria must be junk food, right? But you look like a starving ghost reincarnated, it's hilarious," Lin Ran mocked.
"I don't care about any of that, as long as it tastes good, that's all that matters. Anyway, your picture will be hanging on the school wall the next day, so it has nothing to do with me."
As Jiang Qiaoqiao ate her food, she experienced the taste of the school cafeteria for the first time, while inwardly criticizing Lin Ran. She could eat and talk at the same time, a dual-core brain of hers, terrifying indeed.
"You actually know about the school wall?"
"What do you take me for? Even though I can't go to school in person, I'm still a college student, and I know all the gossip about school."
Lin Ran couldn't help but say, "Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you. Remember to transfer the money to me after you're done eating. It's not easy for an ordinary student like me to earn money."
Jiang Qiaoqiao completely ignored Lin Ran's words, her mouth wide open as she ate. After finishing, she ordered a basic 5-yuan instant Americano.
Even junk food tastes like wild beast!
If it were Aunt Zhao, she definitely wouldn't let me eat it~
Jiang Qiaoqiao crossed her legs, rested her chin on her hand, and enjoyed the free air blowing in from the window, occasionally taking a sip of coffee.
My original physical condition didn't allow me to assume this pose, but now I can finally give it a try.
If she were a girl, she would definitely have a domineering queen vibe, but with Lin Ran's body, she doesn't have that kind of temperament.
It's not that Lin Ran is bad-looking, but Lin Ran's face is the melancholic type, which doesn't match her temperament. When she has no expression, she looks preoccupied, which makes people feel distant. In reality, she's just thinking about playing games with her friends and blocking the bridge at night.
Inside the body, two consciousnesses are communicating.
"I thought you wouldn't be able to control your body today. Turns out the time was changed to the afternoon. Why? Do you have any clue?" Lin Ran feigned confusion, but was actually crying wolf.
Jiang Qiaoqiao did not answer immediately, but pondered the credibility of Lin Ran's words.
Was he lying to me, or did he really not know?
Damn it, he's mixing truth and lies; it's impossible to tell the difference.
"I...don't know either. Just like yesterday, I suddenly felt sleepy. When I closed my eyes and opened them again, I was inside your body."
"I thought I could finally have some peace and quiet, but what a pity," Lin Ran sighed.
"Hey, you're already here, what are you complaining about?" Jiang Qiaoqiao sensed his defensive posture and knew she wouldn't get anything out of him today, so she changed the subject. "By the way, do you have any plans for this afternoon? I'll prepare in advance."
"Go to the Hanfu club to rehearse for the welcome party for new students," Lin Ran asked. "The Hanfu club is all girls, so be careful not to flirt with anyone. The important thing is that Tao Zhiyao is there too."
"No problem, I won't make your little Zhi jealous." Jiang Qiaoqiao was eager to try. "I've never participated in club activities before, let me go and see what's going on."
At 2 p.m., during club activities, Jiang Qiaoqiao, unable to contain her curiosity, finished her meal and rushed into the main building ahead of time.
Large classrooms without classes are occupied by various student clubs for activities.
"What kind of club is this? Why are they dressed in such strange clothes?" Jiang Qiaoqiao asked curiously, peering through the back window of a classroom.
"The New Era ACGN Research Club, or Anime Club for short, is a place where everyone is cosplaying."
"Oh, this sounds like fun. I was wondering why that person looked familiar; it turns out he's playing Kaguya-sama."
Jiang Qiaoqiao understood very quickly.
Lin Ran was somewhat surprised: "You even know about Kaguya-sama?"
"Waaaaah, poor crippled young lady, with nothing to do at home, can only watch whatever's available. Forced to be a shut-in, so pitiful, and nobody wants me, sob."
Jiang Qiaoqiao pretended to wipe away non-existent tears, but a sly smile appeared on her lips.
If this were a beautiful young girl, she would surely capture the hearts of many naive boys, but this is Lin Ran's body...
Lin Ran imagined using her body to act cute and pitiful... Ugh! She felt like throwing up her dinner from last night! The image was too awful to contemplate...
"First came the sages, then came Heaven..."
"I am as beautiful as a fairy in a painting!" Jiang Qiaoqiao replied directly.
"The electric light dancing at your fingertips is my undying faith..."
"My Railgun will live on forever!" Jiang Qiaoqiao mimicked the motion of flicking a coin.
"A real-life person..."
"Explode!" Jiang Qiaoqiao gave him a dead fish look, which, combined with Lin Ran's face, was quite interesting.
Lin Ran said with satisfaction, "Not bad, your concentration is even higher than that of the auntie on Bilibili. Bilibili might have gone bankrupt by now, and it has long since deteriorated."
"Ugh, don't even mention that awful stuff. Only the study area is still going strong. What is all the other content? I can't stand it." Jiang Qiaoqiao waved her hand in front of her nose.
She waited a while longer, then saw the anime club members playing Pictionary, so she left to find the next club.
"A literary society? There are actually such societies in China?"
"Yes, it's full of artsy young men and women who read niche literature that pretty white women from the US like, and then pretend it's very popular to discuss it."
Wow! Was there a grand escape into the sunlight?
"I'm reminding you, Jiang Qiaoqiao, don't bring up bad memories for me, and don't remind me of that author. But for you, my ass, for so many years, damn it—it takes a tough person to hold back from cursing."
Jiang Qiaoqiao continued browsing.
"Taekwondo club?"
"This club is quite popular. They perform kicking wooden boards on stage every year. I worked as a logistics staff member during military training and saw those wooden boards. It was an eye-opener. Even a three-year-old could break them."
"I understand. There are people like that at the company's annual party. After all, it would be embarrassing if they went on stage and failed to break the wooden board. By the way, I also learned Taekwondo when I was a kid. Let me give you a little demonstration."
Jiang Qiaoqiao assumed a standard Taekwondo ready stance, raised her leg high, and delivered a whip kick, the wind whistling through the air.
"Who? Who's outside?" someone asked from inside the classroom.
Jiang Qiaoqiao quickly slipped away.
Although she usually talks a lot of nonsense, she is afraid of trouble, and even more afraid of getting into trouble and being kicked out of Lin Ran's body.
The legs are still hoping to control Lin Ran's body to recover.
She visited all the clubs and societies that held activities in the main building. When it was 2 o'clock, she went down to the second floor to the Hanfu club.
Lin Ran introduced her to the composition of the Hanfu club.
The president is a third-year female computer science student, the vice president and most of the core members are Chinese literature majors, and the others who are affiliated with the club to earn credits and do not usually participate in activities are not worth mentioning.
"At the welcome party, the Hanfu club and the school band performed a traditional Chinese love song together..."
Before Lin Ran could finish speaking, a quarrel suddenly broke out in the large classroom.
Jiang Qiaoqiao sensed something was up and pressed her ear against the door, listening for any sounds behind it.
"I'm here today to announce something... I'm leaving the Lotte Band."
"Why... why is this? Our band activities are going very well, everyone is together... didn't you say that we should be a musical community forever?"
"I've never felt happy being in a band."
"Huh?"
Lin Ran couldn't hold back any longer. She thought of an anime from her previous life that had "Kun" in its title, which was considered a massive feast of the year.
Jiang Qiaoqiao's eyes gleamed, her gossip-loving spirit burning brightly. She pressed half her face against the door, wishing she could rush in and listen to the band Mutual Conflict live.
"The band was planning to perform with the Hanfu Club, but... it looks like that's unlikely now," Lin Ran explained.
"This is interesting! I love watching a good show."
Just as Jiang Qiaoqiao finished speaking, footsteps came from behind the door. Realizing that someone was about to come out, she quickly ran to the stairs to hide, but unexpectedly bumped into Tao Zhiyao who was rushing over.
The girl was bumped while going up the stairs and fell backward. Jiang Qiaoqiao acted immediately, grabbed the girl's hand, and protected her in her arms.
The two tumbled down the stairs, embracing each other.
Fortunately, Jiang Qiaoqiao had plenty of experience falling and instinctively made a protective movement, shielding the back of her head and vital areas, thus avoiding injury.
But pain is unavoidable.
Jiang Qiaoqiao was wincing in pain. She had fallen in her wheelchair yesterday, and today she fell again while protecting Tao Zhiyao—getting involved with Lin Ran had brought her nothing but trouble.
Lin Ran also felt the pain; the two shared their five senses.
"Lin Ran, Lin Ran, are you alright?! Where does it hurt? Let me check if you're injured..."
When Tao Zhiyao was held in Jiang Qiaoqiao's arms, her mind went blank for a moment. When she came to her senses, she found herself trapped in Jiang Qiaoqiao's embrace.
"I'm not injured, and it doesn't hurt."
Jiang Qiaoqiao forced a smile.
She reached out, wanting to take Tao Zhiyao's hand and help Lin Ran with his strategy.
After learning about the concept of "Gala Gives Wood" yesterday, she spent an hour studying it and learned a lot of dating tips.
When a hero saves a damsel in distress, appropriate physical contact can help increase favorability.
However, Tao Zhiyao avoided Jiang Qiaoqiao's outstretched hand, her dark eyes widening as she looked at Lin Ran's face. After a moment's hesitation, she said:
"Who are you?"
