Quick Transmigration: I Was Cannon Fodder But Became the White Moonlight

In late autumn, the chill deepens, and withered yellow leaves twirl and fall from the branches, making the streets seem desolate overnight, with the ground covered in gold.

The weather suddenly turned cold, catching many people off guard, and many caught colds and fell ill.

Among them, Chen Su's grandmother also fell ill.

Elderly people have weak immune systems, so even a common cold can come on suddenly and severely.

Grandma had a persistent cough and looked listless.

This suddenly made the burden on Chen Su's shoulders much heavier.

Her life was reduced to just two things.

On one side are mountains of senior year review materials and seemingly endless test papers; on the other side is a sick grandmother who needs careful care, grocery shopping, and cooking after returning home.

She lived a life of constant shuttling between school and home, spinning like a top, her energy gradually drained. Her already slender figure became even thinner, and there were often faint dark circles under her eyes.

She and Shen Que had become two parallel lines, never to intersect again.

Our most recent contact was just one busy morning.

She was delayed because she was buying breakfast for her grandmother. She ran into the classroom, breathless, and unexpectedly bumped into a hard chest at the door.

She hurriedly lowered her head and apologized, "I'm sorry!"

She looked up and met Shen Que's emotionless gaze.

He merely glanced at her indifferently, said nothing, and walked past her sideways.

Chen Su had no choice but to suppress the bitterness that surged in her heart and slowly returned to her seat, pretending that nothing had happened.

Fortunately, under her careful care, Grandma's health improved day by day; her cough lessened, and her complexion became rosy.

This lightened the burden on Chen Su's shoulders somewhat, allowing her to breathe a little easier.

The sky was overcast when school ended that day.

Not long after Chen Su stepped out of the school gate, a light drizzle began to fall without warning, which quickly turned into a downpour of autumn rain, carrying a chill that seeped into the bones.

She didn't have an umbrella, so she had to jog to find shelter under the eaves of a shop on the side of the road.

A cold wind carrying rain blew over, and Chen Su subconsciously shrank back and hugged her arms tightly.

She gazed at the gray sky and the continuous rain outside, her thoughts drifting away.

Shen Que didn't come to class again today...

He seems to be missing more and more often lately.

She felt a slight dizziness throughout the day, but she thought it was due to the pressure of her senior year of high school and that she had done too many practice problems, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

The rain gradually subsided and eventually stopped.

Chen Su took a deep breath of the air, which smelled of damp earth after the rain, and stepped out from under the eaves.

However, after taking only a few steps, she sensed something was wrong.

My feet felt like they were walking on cotton, light and unable to exert any strength, while my eyelids felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

She instinctively reached out to grab the wall beside her, but as soon as she raised her arm, her legs suddenly gave way, her vision went black, and she lost consciousness completely.

In the last second before losing consciousness, she vaguely felt that she had not fallen onto a hard surface, because the expected pain did not come.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Su slowly woke up in a warm environment.

She struggled to open her heavy eyelids and looked around blankly.

She found herself lying on a soft sofa, covered with a soft little blanket.

Ok?

Where is this place?

She struggled to sit up, her head still spinning.

As her vision cleared, she saw a dark green, rather professional-looking billiard table in the center of the room, with several cues scattered around it.

Artistic decorative paintings hung on the walls, and the lighting was soft.

This looks like a...private room?

It looks very familiar, but I can't quite place it.

Chen Su was filled with doubt.

How did she end up here?

Just as she was confused, the door to the private room was gently pushed open, and a figure walked in.

Chen Su stared intently, then froze.

The person who came in was actually Xu Qian!

Xu Qian was holding a glass of water. Seeing that she was awake, she smiled gently and quickly walked over.

"Chen Su, long time no see, how are you feeling?"

She handed the water glass to Chen Su, "Have some water first."

Chen Su took the water glass somewhat bewildered. The warmth of the glass traveled through her palms, and she sipped it, finding some relief from her dry throat.

She whispered, "Thank you... Sister Xu Qian? Where... am I?"

Xu Qian sat down on the single sofa next to her and explained, "This is a billiards club, right next to the shopping mall across the street. I happened to be playing here today, and when I came out, I saw you walking out of the store. Before I could even say hello, you suddenly fainted! It scared me to death!"

She patted her chest, looking shaken. "Luckily, I was nearby and rushed over to catch you, preventing you from falling to the ground. Seeing that you were pale and unresponsive, I quickly called the club for help, and they carried you here to rest."

She pointed to several boxes of medicine on the coffee table next to her: "Later, we saw a doctor who said that you had a fever, and that you hadn't been resting well lately, your diet probably hadn't been good, you were under too much stress, and your body was too weak, which is why you suddenly fainted."

Xu Qian's tone was concerned, "These are cold medicine and fever reducers prescribed by the doctor. Remember to take them later."

Hearing this, Chen Su felt a warmth in her heart, and was filled with gratitude: "Sister Xu Qian, thank you so much..."

"Don't mention it, we just happened to run into each other."

Xu Qian waved her hand, and seeing that she was about to take her medicine, she quickly stopped her: "Wait, don't rush to take your medicine."

As she spoke, she stood up and walked out of the private room.

Not long after, Xu Qian returned with a tray containing a bowl of steaming, soft and sticky white rice porridge and a small bowl of smooth steamed egg custard.

"Eat something first to fill your stomach; taking medicine on an empty stomach is bad for your stomach."

Xu Qian placed the plate on the coffee table in front of Chen Su, "It's good to eat something light when you have a fever."

Chen Su looked at the perfectly prepared patient meal in front of her, and then at the luxurious private room.

After a moment of silence, feeling somewhat apologetic, she asked, "Sister Xu Qian, this...this private room, and all these medicines and food...it must have cost a lot of money, right? I...I'll transfer the money to you in a bit."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qian quickly shook her head: "No need, no need! You really don't need to spend any money!"

She smiled, her tone relaxed, "You were so sick, and when we carried you in, the club owner happened to see us. He's a really nice guy; knowing we know each other, he immediately had this empty private room arranged for you to rest. He even said you can stay until you wake up and feel better, and he won't charge you anything!"

Chen Su felt even more grateful, but also a little uneasy: "Then... I'd like to thank the boss in person."

Xu Qian's eyes flickered slightly, then she smiled and said, "Boss, he had something to do and left early. If you really want to thank him, just bring more classmates to support us next time!"

Chen Su nodded and said in a low voice, "Then...please thank the boss for me."

"No problem!" Xu Qian readily agreed.

Chen Su lowered her head and ate the warm porridge and steamed egg in small bites. Her stomach gradually warmed up, and her body seemed to regain some strength.

Her gaze involuntarily swept over the private room once more.

The familiar pool table, the familiar room, even the faint fragrance in the air gave her a strange sense of familiarity.

When was the last time I came here?

It's still summer vacation.

Shen Que brought her here.

Memories surged uncontrollably like a tide, and the scene from that summer day vividly appeared before my eyes.

He stood behind her, his arm around hers, guiding her hand and teaching her how to set up the pole and how to aim.

His deep voice rang in my ears, tinged with impatience yet unusually focused.

When she finally scored her first goal on her own, she excitedly turned around and saw him leaning against the pool table next to her, a faint smile playing on his lips...

Everything from that time seems like it happened just yesterday, yet it feels as distant as if it were from a past life.

Chen Su tightened her grip on the spoon slightly, a wave of bittersweet emotion washing over her.

She scooped up a spoonful of warm steamed egg custard and put it in her mouth.

It tastes great, tender and flavorful.
