No Way! The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Is Actually a Genius Big Shot

46 Helping Each Other

“Why are you talking like a teacher?” Fang Yao smiled bitterly and said slowly, “My parents have long given up on my grades. After graduation, they will send me overseas directly. I don’t have to choose at all.”

Yuan Xiao did not like Fang Yao’s self-destructive look and asked, “Then what do you think? Do you want to go abroad?”

“Me?” Fang Yao was slightly stunned. Ever since he was young, no one had ever asked him what he really wanted.

“Who cares what I think? My brother has already settled my future plans. I just have to follow them.”

!!

Fang Yao did not know if he hated this feeling. He had an outstanding brother who could arrange everything for him, but it also restricted his freedom and choices.

“It’s not that they don’t care about you. It’s just that you didn’t try to do it yourself.” Yuan Xiao remembered that in her previous life, Fang Yao had indeed gone overseas to study for a period of time, but in this life, would his fate change?

“After I graduate, I might be directly admitted to University A. Are you interested in going to the same university as me?”

Yuan Xiao knew that with her current results, she could directly be admitted to the best university in the country, but it was indeed a little difficult for Fang Yao.

“You want me to go to the same university as you?” Fang Yao did not care what kind of university he would go to, but when he thought about how he could spend time with Yuan Xiao every day in university, he was actually looking forward to it.

“Of course.” Yuan Xiao did not hide her emotions. She was also very happy to think about seeing Fang Yao in university.

Fang Yao was a little excited. He still did not understand Yuan Xiao’s true intentions.

“Alright, isn’t it just University A? I’ll definitely be able to get in!” Fang Yao’s face still had the immaturity of a young man, but his tone was especially serious.

“Then from tomorrow onwards, I’ll teach you how to study and you’ll teach me how to play the piano. Let’s consider this as helping each other.”

Yuan Xiao had always been grateful for Fang Yao’s help. At first, she thought that she could not help him much, but if Fang Yao was willing to learn, she could really help.

Fang Yao did not refuse. It would not do him any harm to spend more time with Yuan Xiao.

Under Fang Yao’s insistence, Yuan Xiao accepted his continued stay in the hospital with her.

The ward was very quiet. Fang Yao lay on the accompanying bed not far from Yuan Xiao. He looked at Yuan Xiao, who only occupied a small space on the bed, and did not feel sleepy at all.

“Are you asleep?” Fang Yao could not help but ask.

“No.” Yuan Xiao turned around and looked at Fang Yao. The room was very dim, but the young man’s fair face was exceptionally clear under the moonlight.

“Yuan Xiao, have you ever thought about what will happen to us in the future?”

Hearing Fang Yao’s question, Yuan Xiao fell into deep thought.

In the original book, Fang Yao seemed to be developing well as an affectionate supporting character, but she was not so lucky. As a cannon fodder supporting character to set off the female lead, Yuan Wei, Yuan Xiao was slowly removed when the female lead was happy. What future was there to talk about?

“You should be very successful. I believe you can do it.” Yuan Xiao did not notice the joy in Fang Zhao’s eyes and continued, “I should have my own career and live my own life well.”

“What about in terms of love life and feelings?” Fang Yao asked, unwilling to give up. He felt that Yuan Xiao did not seem to have any expectations for her future love life.

Yuan Xiao chuckled. “The love life belongs to the male and female leads. A small supporting role like me wouldn’t dare to ask for it.”

Yuan Xiao seemed to be joking, but only Yuan Xiao knew in her heart that she was already very content to be able to live another life.

“How do you know you’re not the main character?” Fang Yao did not understand.

Although Yuan Xiao was smiling, there was an indescribable sadness in her tone, as if something bad had happened.

Yuan Xiao did not know how to refute Fang Yao. She could not tell Fang Yao that they actually lived in a book.

“You’re beautiful and smart. You’re a shining existence in many people’s eyes. Don’t be so unconfident. That’s not like you at all.”

When Yuan Xiao heard Fang Yao’s words, she was in a daze. She did not expect Fang Yao to see her like this.

“Thank you, Fang Yao.”

The two of them did not say anything else. The night they spent in the hospital created an inextricable connection between Yuan Xiao and Fang Yao.

The two of them were determined to help each other and had gradually developed dependence and trust in each other.

Fang Ming took the initiative to send Yuan Xiao home when she was discharged from the hospital, but he did not expect Yuan Xiao to be prepared to go home with Fang Yao.

Fang Ming had a good impression of this strong and independent girl in front of him, so he did not stop her from interacting with his younger brother.
