The Noble Cannon Fodder Side Character Doesn’t Care About You

Chapter 7: I believe your bullsh*t*

Lu Xu Nan unconsciously took a step back. His heel tripped over the leg of the bed and his body slightly staggered, but he was supported by Ning Xiu in time.

“Careful.”

Lu Xu Nan raised his eyes again. The other person was still that mild, modest noble person as if the stern gaze filled with menace was all his misconception.

If there wasn’t a force that he couldn’t ignore coming from his forearm…

Lu Xu Nan was tired in his heart.

When exactly did he express unspeakable thoughts for Ning Yi?

He will change, okay?

“…” Lu Xu Nan stared at Ning Yi’s loving little face and looked at Ning Xiu on the side that was glaring at him like a tiger watching its prey. He couldn’t help laughing coldly in his heart.

What exactly was this Ning Yiyi playing at? Loving but unable to obtain her love? Hate born because of love? So she keeps putting on an act in front of other people and created this to deliberately embarrass him?

If it was like this, then he could only say–

She had accomplished her goal.

Lu Xu Nan was extremely mad but instead smiled. On the surface, he instead became even more gentle. He slightly bowed, leveling his gaze with Ning Yi’s, he said warmly, “Then I’ll go take care of my hand first. Don’t worry, they’re all minor injuries, I’ll come back quickly. Today, I will be, staying, here.”

Lu Xu Nan spat out the last few words one by one. As expected, he was able to enjoy Ning Yi’s pair of implicitly crafty cat eyes gradually widen to become perfectly round in shock and disbelief.

This time, he really smiled. Even the tip of his brows rose cheerfully. He straightened his body and nodded at Ning Xiu whose gaze had abruptly become stern and the elders as he walked energetically out of the ward.

Ning Yi still had results that hadn’t come out yet for a few examinations. She had to wait for all the results to come out first to confirm that there were no problems before she was able to go home.

The parents of both families had set aside their work at a moment’s notice. Hearing Lu Xu Nan’s “considerate” words confirming over and over again with the doctor that there wasn’t anything wrong, they were completely at ease with leaving earlier.

Ning Xiu actually still wanted to “monitor” the “pig punk” that harbored evil intentions toward his family’s little bok choy. Unfortunately he couldn’t stay longer in the ward. He received a call from his subordinate saying there was an urgent matter at the company and hastily left even earlier than the older generation.

Thus, not long after dinner, only Ning Yi and Lu Xu Nan remained in the room. Immediately, it felt empty.

Originally, Ning Yi was worried that she had messed up the plot because of Lu Xu Nan’s abnormal behavior. In the end, she quickly discovered that Dog Lu was still that Dog Lu from before.

Once the elders left, he stayed nested in the chair with an expressionless face, playing with his phone. When it came to speaking, he ignored her. Obviously, he didn’t have half a sprout of good feelings for her.

“Nan gege, thanks to you for coming to the lane in time and sending me to the hospital, thank you. To me, you’re really…”

Ning Yi’s “good” was cut off by the game’s “double kill” announcement. Lu Xu Nan’s careless voice sounded resolutely.

“Don’t think too much, it’s not because of you. Even if it was a stray dog that I ran into on the road, I will also help it.”

Ning Yi was happier despite being verbally attacked the first time, she wasn’t the least bit angry. Smiling, she said in a soft voice, “Nan gege, you’re so good! Not only are you heroic and just, you’re even concerned about little animals, really too kindhearted!”

Wow! Cold, poisonous tongue, emotionless, worthy of being you! You’ve finally returned to normal, Old Dog Lu!

The hand that Lu Xu Nan was playing games with paused and he was immediately taken out by the opponent’s assassin. His screen dimmed as the hero in the game waited to be revived.

He slightly raised his eyebrows, looking at Ning Yi. With a bit of teasing in his tone, he asked: “You really think so in your heart?”

Ning Yi repeatedly nodded, “Of course ah, Nan gege, you’re always the best in my heart!”

There’s mutual affection between the same species after all! Dog Lu, even if you found and sheltered a stray dog, I wouldn’t be surprised at all~

Lu Xu Nan was almost angered by the girl in front of him whose words and thoughts didn’t match to the point of laughing. The tip of his tongue pressed the root of his teeth, he vaguely said, “Really? I might really believe it.”

Your bullsh*t1Orig. 信了你的邪, lit. “I believe(d) your weirdness”. This is a slang/expression from Wuhan dialect that can be used to praise or mock and means something along the lines of “I really gotta give it to you” and “[I can’t believe] I actually believed you”. It is also often used to express disagreement or being completely unable to understand what someone is doing. (Baidu, Baidu Forum)

In the end, I decided to phrase it this way in this chapter since it’s clear that LXN finds NY’s thoughts and actions unfathomable and does not believe her.

Ning Yi faintly felt that the other person’s manner and tone was a little off, but when she examined him, she couldn’t find anything. She then smiled and skipped over this, “By the way, Nan gege, you sent me to the hospital, then what about Mu Wanqing?”

A vague face flashed through Lu Xu Nan’s mind.

He recalled this name that he always heard Ning Yi mention after he was able to hear her thoughts. She even stupidly sacrificed herself and got herself hospitalized. He frowned. “You’re very close with her?”

Ning Yi’s eyes lit up for a bit as she said evasively, “She’s a classmate after all.”

Lu Xu Nan pretended not to notice and lowered his head again. Leading his already revived hero out of the spring, he said indifferently, “Fang Ci sent her back.”

He wanted to see what exactly this girl was trying to hide and how she was planning to continue putting on a show next. There was plenty of time anyway, he would wait and see.
