Quick Transmigration: I Was Cannon Fodder But Became the White Moonlight
Chapter 171 Conquering the Celestial Dragons of the Noble Academy
The equestrian activities drew to a close in the slanting afternoon sunlight.
Fu Dongheng left before the event officially ended.
He answered a phone call, then walked to the side of the room, his voice very low. Chen Su could only vaguely hear the words "document" and "meeting".
After hanging up the phone, he walked back and said to Pei Yue, "I have something to do with the student council, so I'll be going now," his tone as gentle as ever.
Pei Yue was clearly a little reluctant, her lips pursed slightly, but she quickly regained her bright smile, nodded and replied generously, "Dongheng-ge, you go ahead and do your work."
His tone also carried a hint of understanding and consideration.
Fu Dongheng nodded slightly to her, then turned and left.
His back was straight, stretched long in the setting sun, and his steps were unhurried.
Several female students passing by stopped to greet him, and he nodded slightly in response, his posture humble and proper, but he didn't stop walking and quickly disappeared around the corner of the equestrian field exit.
Pei Yue stood there, watching his figure disappear, her smile slowly fading.
Once Fu Dongheng left, she seemed to lose interest as well.
She watched the equestrian performance several times with a bored expression, her gaze sweeping over the galloping horses on the field, but she was clearly distracted, her fingertips tapping idly on the armrest of her chair.
She yawned listlessly, a few tears welling up in the corner of her eyes. She gently wiped them away with her fingertips, then stretched out a hand behind her without turning her head.
Chen Su immediately stepped forward and handed over the suit jacket she was holding in her arms.
Pei Yue took the coat, casually draped it over her shoulders, and without even glancing at Chen Su, simply waved her hand and said, "Alright, you can go now."
Pei Yue's voice was indifferent, revealing no emotion. She was clearly still immersed in the afterglow of her time with Fu Dongheng and seemed exceptionally tolerant of everything around her.
At least he didn't intend to make things difficult for this quiet follower anymore.
Several girls from prominent families who knew her immediately surrounded her and helped her leave.
Chen Su stood there, watching the group's figures gradually disappear into the distance, until Pei Yue completely vanished from the crowd, before she slowly withdrew her gaze.
Chen Su waited at the equestrian arena for a while, watching the students from the logistics team carry equipment into the storage room one by one, and watching the stands and field gradually become empty.
Dusk descended slowly from the sky like a thin veil, and the hustle and bustle of the day was rapidly fading away.
She turned around and walked slowly back the way she came towards the main building of the college.
_
The scene before the imposing gates of Lansfield College is quite different.
On the wide driveway, all kinds of luxury cars were neatly arranged, their headlights glowing red in the twilight.
The uniformed drivers stood quietly beside the car, their posture respectful, opening the car doors for their respective young masters and ladies.
Doormen moved among the vehicles, skillfully identifying license plates and guiding traffic.
Chen Su turned around and walked towards a silver-gray Porsche Panamera parked in a less conspicuous spot on the outer edge.
This car was purchased by Chen Jianguo after the original owner entered Lansfield. He gritted his teeth and bought it specifically to avoid losing face. He also hired a full-time driver to ensure that he wouldn't fall behind others in terms of appearance.
The driver was a silent middle-aged man who had already respectfully opened the car door when he saw her coming.
Chen Su bent down and sat in the back seat. The moment the car door closed, the noise from the academy gate was shut out.
Instead of immediately telling the driver to start the car, she leaned back in her seat, closed her eyes, and asked a question in her mind.
"007, where is Pei Fang?"
007's mechanical voice responded swiftly, "[Target: Pei Fang, currently located in Nirvana, Central Business District, City A]"
Nirvana.
Chen Su searched her memory for the name.
It is a top-tier entertainment venue renowned throughout City A and even the entire country for its extreme luxury, absolute privacy, and extremely strict entry requirements.
It operates on a strict membership invitation system, requiring not only astonishing wealth but also a distinguished family background and social status. It is a favorite den of extravagance and social venue for the true upper class, celebrities from all walks of life, and the secretive rich kids.
In order to squeeze into the so-called high society circle as soon as possible, Chen Jianguo used a lot of connections and spent a lot of money to get a Nirvana membership card. However, given the Chen family's actual financial situation, he would probably be a marginal figure if he went there, which would only cause embarrassment. Therefore, the original owner hardly ever went there.
007 continued.
Tonight, the female lead, Xu Nanqiao, will work as a temporary waitress at the bar.
[Based on the original storyline, the two will have their first encounter tonight.]
Chen Su slightly curled the corners of her lips.
"Uncle Zhou, to Nirvana," she said calmly to the driver in the front seat.
The driver glanced at her in the rearview mirror, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He clearly knew where it was, but didn't ask any further questions. He simply replied, "Okay, miss," and started the car.
The silver-gray Porsche smoothly entered the lane, merged into the traffic, and headed towards the most bustling part of the city center.
The city unfolds outside the car window in the night, with neon lights on the high-rise buildings flashing in various colors.
The car's heater was on just the right setting, dispelling the growing chill of the evening.
Chen Su leaned back in her chair, her gaze fixed on the rapidly receding street scene outside the window, while her mind was processing the detailed information about Xu Nanqiao that 007 had simultaneously transmitted to her.
Xu Nanqiao, eighteen years old, is the same age as Chen Su.
Lansfield College's special admissions team for this academic year has secured full scholarships and partial living allowances from the college based on near-perfect entrance exam scores and numerous academic competition awards.
She comes from a single-parent family and lives with her mother, Xu Huifang.
Xu Huifang lost her husband at an early age and has always been in poor health, suffering from chronic diseases that require long-term medication and are unable to engage in high-intensity work. Her family's economic resources are extremely limited, mainly relying on meager subsistence allowances and the income from Xu Nanqiao's part-time jobs.
To make ends meet and pay for her mother's medical expenses, Xu Nanqiao worked several jobs simultaneously. During the day, she worked at a coffee shop near the school, and at night, she worked at upscale places that allowed part-time employment, such as Nirvana. Although it was hard work, the pay was relatively high.
She appears quiet and gentle, but deep down she possesses extraordinary resilience and self-respect. She refuses to accept pointless charity and bears all difficulties on her own.
A typical background for a female protagonist in a classic "beautiful, strong, and tragic" drama.
"Miss, we've arrived." The driver's voice came from the driver's seat, pulling Chen Su out of her thoughts.
