Cannon Fodder – Chapter 2 – Like You Like You Like You Like You

The low, hoarse trembling voice struck the heroine like a thunderbolt, leaving her frozen on the bed.

She couldn’t snap out of it for the longest time.

The yandere loli plan!

This was Chi Xiaocheng’s strategy to break the deadlock.

The male leads already despised the original host. Now with this kidnapping incident, their hatred would surely reach insane levels.

The only way to survive now was to have the heroine stop them herself.

Reform and repent?

Su Tao’s character was that of a soft, gentle white moonlight, full of internal monologues and easily swayed.

The male leads only needed to be slightly assertive to throw her off balance.

The only chance for survival was to leave an indelible mark on her heart. To make her care about Chi Xiaocheng, to protect her!

As Chi Xiaocheng’s thoughts raced, her mind was filled with incessant ding ding notifications from the system.

[Heroine Su Tao’s heart has been greatly shaken by the host’s words]

[Emotional Value +3…]

[Emotional Value +10…]

This was one of the system’s main functions. Whenever an important character from the original work, whether supporting or main, experienced intense emotional fluctuations due to Chi Xiaocheng’s actions, she would gain Emotional Value!

Emotional Value had many uses: lottery draws, shopping in the system store, previewing future plot developments in the novel.

But the Newbie Gift Pack alone required 100 Emotional Value to unlock.

Other systems gave it for free, but this one made her pay. Wasn’t this a complete scammer targeting little lolis?!

She only had 13 Emotional Value. Nowhere near enough!

Seeing Su Tao still too stunned to react, Chi Xiaocheng stood on the bed in one smooth motion.

Her outfit today was simple: a white sailor top and a black miniskirt. Su Tao, pinned flat on her back, had a clear view of the scenery beneath Chi Xiaocheng’s skirt.

The white moonlight heroine gradually regained her senses, though her eyes remained panicked and lost.

“Xiaocheng, I… I don’t understand what you mean.”

They’d grown up together.

Best friends for over a decade.

Su Tao had always seen Chi Xiaocheng as her closest friend.

Even after all their conflicts these past two years, she still believed Chi Xiaocheng could be saved, that with a little more effort to correct her mindset, they could return to how they used to be.

Best friends again.

But now, she felt like a kid who dreamed of being an astronaut, only to get slapped back to reality by grandma.

Her childhood friend… liked her?

Her mind was in chaos, her composure crumbling.

Chi Xiaocheng didn’t answer her question.

Instead, she bent down, planted her hands on the bed by Su Tao’s armpits, and knelt atop her stomach.

Standing under 160cm, Chi Xiaocheng was light.

Su Tao barely felt any weight, just the softness of that little butt sitting on her abdomen.

In her field of vision, Chi Xiaocheng leaned even closer, her upper body nearly pressed against Su Tao’s before stopping.

Chestnut hair cascaded to one side of her face as Su Tao watched a small hand gently cup her cheek.

Fingertips lightly traced and pressed.

Soon, Chi Xiaocheng’s expression turned intoxicated. She half acted it, but she was also half genuine admiration for the irresistibly soft white skin.

She brushed Su Tao’s disheveled hair behind her ear, then tenderly pressed her palm to that cheek, thumb grazing the corner of Su Tao’s lips before sliding upward along the slightly chapped surface.

Finally, it paused at the center of those pink lips.

Chi Xiaocheng’s voice was gentle.

“Tao-Tao, I like you. So, so much. Ever since we were kids, when you protected me from bullies, took my hand, and led me out of the dark corner into the sunlight.”

“I fell for you hopelessly!”

Her gaze locked onto Su Tao’s bewildered eyes.

“I knew I had to behave to stay by your side, so I kept my feelings hidden. I thought it was okay if you didn’t like me. Just watching you from afar was enough!”

“But then, then!” Her tone suddenly sharpened. “You kept telling me I was your most precious friend, your most important person, the one you loved most!”

“If that’s what you said… why did you betray me?!”

Like a vengeful spirit cursing the underworld, her voice twisted with resentment.

“Ye Liang. Si Chen. Dongfang Yang. You already had me. Why did you need them?!”

The last words were nearly a scream.

Su Tao began struggling violently, but her entire body was restrained. Her words spilled out in frantic urgency:

“No, Xiaocheng, I just—”

Before she could finish, Chi Xiaocheng abruptly pinched her cheeks, cutting her off.

Her voice softened again, dripping with sickly sweetness.

“No need to explain, Tao-Tao. No matter what, I’ll always like you… and you’ll always be mine alone.”

Her gaze drifted downward, settling on those thin, pink lips.

A thumb brushed over them, stroking lightly.

Su Tao seemed to realize what was coming. Feeling the strange sensation of that fingertip on her lips, she panicked.

“Xiaocheng, listen to me! You can’t do this! This is my first—”

“Mmph—!”

Her voice cut off abruptly.

Su Tao’s eyes flew wide.

Her thrashing body went still for one frozen second—

Then erupted into even wilder struggles.

[Heroine Su Tao’s heart has been greatly shaken by the host’s actions]

[Emotional Value +5…]

[Emotional Value +8…]

[Emotional Value +14…]

The Emotional Value notifications kept chiming in her mind.

Chi Xiaocheng knew this flood of points came from Su Tao’s brain short-circuiting from information overload.

But the Newbie Gift Pack required 100 Emotional Value—still not enough.

Feeling the feeble resistance beneath her, Chi Xiaocheng smirked inwardly.

Then abruptly pulled back.

Sharp little fangs bit down hard—

The metallic tang of blood bloomed between them.

Now that’s how you leave an impression.

And at that exact moment—

BANG!

The wooden basement door was kicked open.

“Miss Su Tao!”

Rеαd on КаtReαⅾiոɡСαfе

A man in a suit panted heavily, bracing himself against the doorframe, face etched with urgency.

Then he froze like ice.

What… was this situation?

His young master had located Miss Su Tao’s whereabouts and gone berserk, ordering him to rush over immediately, claiming she’d be harmed if they delayed even a second.

But now….

She didn’t seem to be in any danger?

The bodyguard never imagined walking in on such an… ambiguous scene.

From his angle: Su Tao tied to the bed, Chi Xiaocheng kneeling over her, leaning down as if engaged in some… special play.

The image was too provocative. It was almost embarrassing to witness.

Snapping back to reality, he pointed sternly at Chi Xiaocheng.

“Release Miss Su Tao at once!”

The command startled both girls simultaneously.

With one hand still planted on the bed, eliciting a creaky “whine” from the wooden frame, Chi Xiaocheng lifted herself up gracefully.

Her displeasure was palpable as she slowly turned her head, strands of hair falling over her eyes.

That crimson gaze swept sideways at the intruder, glinting ominously in the dim light.

The knife had somehow reappeared in her hand.

And now—

Pressed against Su Tao’s throat.

“Get out,” she said coldly. “Or I’ll kill her.”
