Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

When Lu Yiheng heard someone calling him in the ward, he subconsciously looked towards the door.

Qi Ning smiled, then asked in a somewhat uncertain tone, "You're Lu Yiheng, am I right?"

Lu Yiheng naturally knew Qi Ning.

Although they are not from the same hamlet, they belong to the same village. Xinghua Village and Lihua Village are not far apart, and they occasionally run into each other.

Not to mention, after Qi Ning and Gu Lixuan got engaged, she went to Xinghua Village even more frequently.

However, after not seeing each other for three years, Lu Yiheng was still stunned for a moment before recognizing Qi Ning.

"You are... Qi Ning?"

"Yes." Qi Ning nodded.

Lu Yiheng was surprised and delighted to see an acquaintance in this place. He quickly said, "That's right, I am Lu Yiheng."

Qi Ning walked into the ward: "It really is you. Didn't you sacrifice yourself on the battlefield? I thought I had mistaken you for someone else."

"Sacrifice?" Lu Yiheng denied. "No, I was just injured."

"That's right."

Qi Ning looked at the nurses beside her and asked, "What were you talking about? You can't afford the medical bills?"

Lu Yiheng felt a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to respond when the nurse said, "Comrade, it's good that you know this Comrade Lu. He is indeed in arrears on medical bills. If he can't pay, he will have to be discharged early."

"How much do you owe?" Qi Ning asked directly.

The nurse gave a number.

Qi Ning immediately took out a wad of cash from his pocket, counted out a few bills, and handed them to the nurse: "Comrade, could you please pay his bill? Thank you."

"Okay, I'll pay for him." The nurse took the money and left the ward.

Before Lu Yiheng could even get a word in edgewise, Qi Ning had already paid his medical bills in just a few words.

He was a little embarrassed: "Comrade Qi Ning, is this really inappropriate? We just ran into each other, and you're already paying my medical bills for me."

Qi Ning sat down on the chair next to the hospital bed as if they were old friends: "Don't be so polite. We're from the same village. It's only right that I help you when you're in trouble."

Unlike Gu Lixuan's pretty-boy appearance, Lu Yiheng has a more upright and heroic look. Now that he is injured and his head is wrapped in gauze, he looks somewhat sickly.

In terms of personality, Gu Lixuan is glib and outgoing, while Lu Yiheng is the opposite, being somewhat introverted.

Hearing Qi Ning say this, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Comrade Qi Ning, thank you so much. I will definitely pay you back the money later."

"Money is no problem. We're all from the same village and we know each other. You don't need to be so polite with me, and you don't need to keep calling me 'comrade'."

Lu Yiheng raised his hand and scratched the back of his head: "Then, then I'll call you..."

In fact, Lu Yiheng is a few months younger than Qi Ning, so it would be appropriate for him to call her "sister." However, they are not very close, and calling her "sister" would seem too intimate and not quite right.

Qi Ning was more straightforward than him: "Just call me by my name."

Lu Yiheng nodded and said, "Okay, Qi Ning."

Qi Ning smiled and said, "By the way, you still haven't told me what happened to you. Gu Lixuan said after he went back that you died on the battlefield. Your uncle's family even held a funeral for you. I didn't even recognize you when I saw you just now."

Lu Yiheng knew that Qi Ning's words were a bit euphemistic; what she meant was that she almost thought she had seen a ghost.

"After Lixuan and I went to the battlefield, we were assigned to two different places. He probably made a mistake."

Lu Yiheng explained, "The war was over by then. When we were retreating, someone stepped on a landmine. I went over to pull him out and fell into a trench. After that, I don't know anything. When I woke up, I was in this hospital."

"So you did save someone, then the person you saved must have brought you to the hospital."

"It should be, but I didn't see clearly who the person I saved was, and I don't know who brought me to the hospital."

"That person is so irresponsible! They just left you at the hospital like that!"

Qi Ning pretended to be angry and slapped the armrest of the chair.

Then she asked, "Shouldn't you be able to contact the military?"

Lu Yiheng shook his head: "I have nothing on me right now, no money, no identification, and it's inconvenient for me to move around, so I'm afraid it will be a bit of a problem."

"Unless I am discharged from the hospital and go there in person to get my identity documents replaced, the other problems can be solved."

"That's true."

Qi Ning nodded, indicating her understanding.

In those times, procedures were especially important, and all sorts of certificates were required to get anything done.

If one had connections, one could take shortcuts, but Lu Yiheng clearly had no connections to rely on.

No wonder he was delayed for so long in the original storyline.

At this point, Lu Yiheng turned to Qi Ning and asked, "And what about you? How did you end up in the city? Did Li Xuan come with you?"

As soon as he asked the question, he could clearly sense that Qi Ning's expression had changed.

Qi Ning sneered, "How could I possibly enter the city with Gu Lixuan?"

Lu Yiheng sensed something was wrong from her tone: "What's wrong? Did something happen to you?"

Qi Ning then told him about Gu Lixuan and He Sisi.

“You don’t know what happened in the village. After Gu Lixuan went back, both my family and Gu’s family wanted me to marry him as soon as possible, but Gu Lixuan wanted to postpone the wedding, saying that it was because of your sacrifice, so I agreed.”

"As a result, on the seventh day of your uncle's funeral, I caught Gu Lixuan and He Sisi red-handed in bed at her house."

Lu Yiheng was somewhat incredulous upon hearing this.

"You mean, Li Xuan and He Sisi...the two of them..."

"Yes, that's what you think."

"How could this be?"

Lu Yiheng frowned: "He Sisi didn't marry anyone else?"

Before going to the battlefield, Lu Yiheng told He Sisi that she didn't need to wait for him. He had also spoken to his uncle's family, and He Sisi could marry someone else at any time so as not to delay her.

He originally thought that after three years, He Sisi should have married someone else long ago.

Judging from Qi Ning's words, it seems that He Sisi didn't marry anyone else and is still entangled with Gu Lixuan.

"No, she didn't marry anyone else."

Qi Ning said sarcastically, "He Sisi has been unmarried for three years, just like me. I thought she was waiting for you, whom she was engaged to, just like me. Who knew that in the end she might also be waiting for Gu Lixuan."

"Later, the people from Xinghua Village told me that Gu Lixuan and He Sisi had been very close for a long time. Maybe they had something going on for a while. It was because Gu Lixuan's parents didn't agree that he was marrying me. Gu Lixuan thought you had sacrificed yourself, so he made an excuse to postpone our marriage for He Sisi."

After hearing what Qi Ning said, Lu Yiheng thought about it carefully. It seemed that Gu Lixuan and He Sisi had always had a good relationship, and Gu Lixuan often helped He Sisi with her work.
