Cannon Fodder – Chapter 51 – Love Her, Then Give Her Everything
The parched throat found relief as warmth seemed to flow through her entire body.
The water was gradually consumed.
But breathing became increasingly difficult as Chi Xiaocheng didn’t release her after finishing the water.
‘No… I can’t breathe….’
“Gasp—”
Finally, at the brink of suffocation, Su Tao’s vision cleared again. She panted heavily, tears glistening at the corners of her eyes as she stared weakly at Chi Xiaocheng.
The petite loli blinked, seemingly understanding Su Tao’s unspoken question.
With a soft smile, she said, “Tao-Tao wants to know why? Because I love you!”
“There’s still half a cup left~”
Su Tao’s chest heaved rapidly as she shook her head. “No… I’m not thirsty anymore… really….”
“No! You have to drink!”
Too weak to resist, Su Tao could only watch helplessly as Chi Xiaocheng tilted her head back to drink the remaining water. Then, her breathing was once again stolen away.
Time passed both too quickly and agonizingly slow.
When Su Tao regained consciousness, Chi Xiaocheng was placing a small incense burner on the desk.
“Tao-Tao, you’re sick. You can’t leave until you recover~ This little thing will help you relax. Just rest now, okay?”
As if tidying the room, she gathered a stack of books and headed for the door. The pile was heavy, making Chi Xiaocheng wobble unsteadily. One book slipped from her arms unnoticed as she continued forward and left the room.
By then, Su Tao had regained a sliver of strength, just enough to sit up weakly. She doubted she could even lift a kettle now.

Leaning against the headboard, Su Tao massaged her throbbing temples. “What… is happening? Am I being… confined by Xiaocheng?”
Her fingers brushed her lips unconsciously before she forcefully dismissed the lingering sensation, forcing herself to think rationally.
After a while, once able to stand, she surveyed the room.
“From the layout, this is clearly Xiaocheng’s bedroom.
“The windows are sealed shut, with only air vents remaining.
“Can’t see outside through the vents. The rain sounds lighter now.
“How long was I asleep? Is this the same ongoing storm, or a second rainfall?”
Her inspection complete, Su Tao slumped back onto the bed, gaze shifting to the door, which was the only exit.
But would Xiaocheng really let her leave?
Why was she doing this?
After much deliberation, Su Tao could only offer a regretful, bitter smile.
‘Ah, it’s because of the test.’
In this situation, whether Chi Xiaocheng was acting as a yandere or not became irrelevant. She could easily justify anything now.
Standing up, Su Tao picked up the book Chi Xiaocheng had dropped.
“Such a careless girl, full of holes in her act.”
Her eyes fell on the title:
“Love Her, Then Give Her Everything!!”

The cover depicted two girls embracing amidst blood-red roses.
“Does Xiaocheng usually read romance novels like this?”
With nothing else to do, understanding Chi Xiaocheng’s preferences might help.
Despite being confined, Su Tao remained calm. She knew Chi Xiaocheng wouldn’t harm her. Once her strength returned, overpowering the petite girl would be effortless.
She just had to wait.
But the table of contents made her blood run cold:
Chapter 1: I Like You.
Chapter 2: I Love You!
Chapter 3: Love Love Love Love Love You!
Chapter 4: Your Hands, Do You Like Them? 1 Yandere cuts off her own hands
Chapter 5: It Hurts a Little, But the Meat Porridge is Delicious, Right? 2 Yandere makes meat porridge with her cut off hands
Chapter 6: Do You Still Love Me Even When I’m Broken?
Chapter 7: You Were Just Humoring Me?
Chapter 8: Are You Scared of Me?
Chapter 9: It’s Okay, I Love You.
Chapter 10: Together Forever. 3 Both dies, happy ending : D
—The End.
“What… what is this?!”
Her hands trembled so violently the book nearly fell.
This was undeniably a yandere’s story!
Sichen’s words echoed in her mind:
“Personalities change due to environmental influences. At impressionable ages, prolonged exposure blurs morality. People unconsciously emulate what they consume, even idolize it.”
Rеαԁ оո ΚαtRеadiոɡСаfе
Su Tao swallowed hard. “Has Xiaocheng… been reading things like this for a long time?”
No, maybe the table of contents was just for shock value.
She flipped to a random page:
The protagonist asked her lover what she liked most about her. When the answer was “your soft little hands,” the protagonist cut off her own hands the next day, encasing them in diamond and crystal as a preserved gift.
Horrifying!
A chill ran down Su Tao’s spine. This… felt eerily familiar.
Creak~
The door opened.
Su Tao hastily hid the book behind her back, her gaze now tinged with fear as Chi Xiaocheng entered.
Head tilted in confusion, Chi Xiaocheng asked, “Tao-Tao, why are you looking at me like that?”
She carried a bowl of porridge forward.
“Anyway, time to eat~”
Her demeanor was perfectly normal, as if genuinely tending to an invalid.
Su Tao’s smile stiffened, her eyes locked onto the meat porridge while the hand clutching the book trembled slightly.
“X-Xiaocheng… what kind of meat is in this porridge?”
“Pork!” Chi Xiaocheng’s eyes gleamed momentarily before resuming an innocent smile. “It’s red bean and lean pork porridge from a delivery order. Why?”
Su Tao exhaled in relief.
Reаd оո КаtRеaⅾіոɡCαfе
She’d been so tense she’d forgotten that Chi Xiaocheng couldn’t cook.
‘Right… it’s just a novel.’
‘Just a novel….’
Wiping cold sweat discreetly, she heard Chi Xiaocheng ask, “Has Tao-Tao regained some strength? Can you eat by yourself, or should I feed you?”
“N-No need!” Remembering the earlier “feeding,” Su Tao waved her hands hastily. “I can manage.”
Yet something felt off. Why hadn’t her strength returned after all this time? She could barely move.
Before she could ponder further, Chi Xiaocheng pulled up a chair, sitting opposite with hands demurely on her lap. Her crimson eyes watched expectantly, as if waiting to witness every spoonful consumed.
Having gone so long without food, Su Tao was indeed hungry.
Eating would restore her energy.
She scooped up a spoonful of porridge sprinkled with scallions, cautiously sniffing it first.
No unusual odors, just ordinary pork porridge.
Blowing on it gently, she brought it to her mouth—
Then her hands jerked violently.
The spoon clattered to the floor as Su Tao spat out the mouthful in horror.
Her terrified eyes met Chi Xiaocheng’s. The petite girl had subtly leaned forward at some point, knees pressing into her 4 Su Tao’s thighs, cheeks propped on her hands as she smiled delightedly.
“Why aren’t you eating, Tao-Tao? Does it… not taste good?”
“X-Xiaocheng… why… why does this porridge taste like orange juice?!”
