(Quick Transmigration) Small Cannon Fodder Has Great Power

Gu Yunyun quickly became friends with her classmates.

Logically speaking, Gu Yunyun, a newcomer who arrived out of nowhere, has shown remarkable financial resources—she is chauffeured around in a private car and her expenses are top-notch. While most of her classmates are still carrying cloth bags to school, Gu Yunyun is one of the few who can afford a leather bag, and her little leather shoes are polished to a shine every day.

The stationery was of high quality; the fountain pens were brand names, and the notebooks were all beautiful and fashionable. All the textbooks were covered with nice book covers. Other students who were more particular simply covered their books with newspaper or kraft paper.

In addition, Gu Yunyun is also very good-looking. She has been here for many days, and during breaks, teenagers from other classes or even grades often pass by Gu Yunyun's classroom alone or in groups of friends, pretending to be casual, to secretly see how good-looking she is through the windows and doors.

Some, after finishing their viewing, would nudge their companions, saying in hushed tones, "Hey, I didn't lie to you, did I? Isn't it beautiful?" They would leave, their voices filled with the enthusiasm, shyness, and carefree joy of young people admiring each other.

Gu Yunyun, who attracts so much attention, should theoretically be easy to arouse jealousy, and it won't be easy for her to be popular. Even if people have no problem with her, they may feel that she is from a different world and feel alienated from her.

However, Gu Yunyun is pleasing to the eye, loves to laugh, and is very approachable. No matter who talks to her, she will look at you intently with her big, bright eyes and listen patiently.

She greets her classmates warmly every day when she goes to school, and has a very good temper. Even if Xu Meiyu, the former class beauty who was overshadowed by Gu Yunyun, occasionally says something sour about her, she just smiles without caring.

She didn't have the haughty arrogance of a rich kid, only good manners. Plus, during breaks, her classmates would always see her taking out snacks from her little bag and eating them like a little squirrel, her chubby cheeks puffing out, and she would invite the classmates next to her to eat with her. How could anyone dislike such a soft and cute girl?

Not only were the boys smitten by her cuteness, but even the girls couldn't help but exclaim how adorable she was and wanted to pinch her chubby cheeks. Many people envied the classmates who sat close to Gu Yunyun, as they could not only admire the cute girl up close but also share snacks!

In the first few days at the new school, Gu Yunyun didn't try to get Yao Yulang's attention. If Yao Yulang had guests, she would obediently stay away and not show her face. On the other hand, Yao Yulang would take the initiative to ask about Gu Yunyun's situation at school after he returned from his business business.

When Yao Yulang asked her questions, Gu Yunyun would excitedly describe what she had seen and heard at school, and occasionally she would ask Yao Yulang a math problem.

Of course, she wouldn't ask questions that were so simple they were idiotic. Instead, she chose more difficult ones to ask. After all, she just wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to the male lead, not to ask him to hire a tutor for her.

Yao Yulang took Gu Yunyun's exercise book and looked at the neat and careful handwriting and almost all the correct answers. He felt very gratified and became even more attentive to her teaching.

That day, Gu Yunyun took her math workbook to Yao Yulang to ask him questions again. The housekeeper said that the master was in the study, so Gu Yunyun went to the study to find him.

He knocked on the door, and Yao Yulang's voice came from inside, "What is it?"

"Mr. Yao, are you free now? I have a question about my homework that I'd like to ask you. If it's inconvenient, I'll come back later," Gu Yunyun replied obediently.

Upon hearing this, Yao Yulang put down the book in his hand and stood up straight. "If you have time, come in."

Gu Yunyun happily pushed open the door and entered, subconsciously glancing at the study. Yao Yulang's study was spacious and bright, also in a European style, with mahogany carved bookshelves, damask carpet, and on the walls, in addition to a magnificent Western clock, there were many Western oil paintings.

Gu Yunyun suddenly noticed one of the Western nude oil paintings. The woman was naked from the waist up, with an ivory-white cloth wrapped around her waist to cover her private parts, revealing her healthy and firm thighs. She was standing on the waves of the sea, with an expression as innocent and bewildered as a newborn.

Given Gu Yunyun's character, she certainly wouldn't ignore this oil painting after seeing it. So she paused, then shyly lowered her head and slowly walked over to Yao Yulang with her homework in hand.

Yao Yulang had been waiting for her to bring the questions since she came in, and his eyes were naturally fixed on her. Gu Yunyun's unusual behavior made him subconsciously follow her gaze and see the nude painting.

The painting depicts the birth of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty in Greek mythology. He had always appreciated the painting from the perspective of artistic beauty and had always been quite disgusted by those who had no artistic taste and who displayed lewd behavior in front of such works.

But when a pure and beautiful young girl saw the paintings in his study, lowered her clear, doe-like eyes, and blushed shyly, he didn't feel annoyed, but rather a little awkward.

He reached out and straightened his collar as if to cover up his actions, then took the exercises Gu Yunyun brought him as if nothing had happened and began to explain them carefully.

"do you understand?"

Gu Yunyun replied hesitantly, "I understand, thank you."

An awkward silence spread.

There was an awkward atmosphere mixed with a hint of shyness and budding excitement.

Suddenly, driven by curiosity, Gu Yunyun mustered her courage and looked up at Yao Yulang, asking in a low voice, "I heard that, in the eyes of foreigners and people who have received Western education, that...that painting is very ordinary, right? Just like our plum blossom, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum paintings?"

“Hmm…” Yao Yulang responded subconsciously, then added, “That is indeed the case from the perspective of people who love art.”

"Oh..." Gu Yunyun visibly relaxed a bit. With a much more natural expression, she curiously glanced at the oil painting, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. She quickly and quietly commented, "A bit chubby." Then, clutching her homework, she ran off.

Yao Yulang was taken aback, then turned to look at Aphrodite in the painting, and suddenly chuckled softly.

In addition to academic studies, the school offers many extracurricular activities. Among them, charity performances are an important activity.

Every year, the school holds a large-scale charity performance in the auditorium, inviting outstanding alumni and prominent figures from the community to participate. All proceeds from the performance are donated to charitable organizations, and the annual charity performance even garners a small section in some tabloids.

This was an activity that the students were really looking forward to. Talented students actively signed up, and rehearsals were in full swing.

In the original novel, Fang Hui from the student union's publicity department delivers an invitation to Yao Yulang, a wealthy businessman on the invitation list. This is the first time the two meet.

"Do you want to find a way to stop Fang Hui from going to Yao Yulang?" the system asked.

Gu Yunyun thought for a moment and then smiled, "No, let her come."

The current issue to consider is what program to perform at the charity performance. Fang Hui and several classmates performed a short play adapted from a famous novel. Her portrayal of the female lead, with her beautiful and moving appearance and the independent and resilient character she created, was very popular and made her the center of attention.

To be honest, Fang Hui is not a typical beauty, but her features give people a stubborn personality. Coupled with her confidence, cheerfulness, and poise, she perfectly fits the current trend of fantasies about independent women.

It must be said that she knows how to make good use of her advantages. The female lead she chose in the drama was exactly like that, which made her independent and thoughtful image even more deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Gu Yunyun counted on her fingers, analyzing the talents she was born with in this world. The arts of playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting were not very suitable, and it would be difficult for her to stand out on stage. Moreover, even in music, Western instruments were more popular now.

With Fang Hui's outstanding performances already established, it's difficult to find scripts that can guarantee greater popularity than hers in the short term. Furthermore, her appearance doesn't fit the current ideal of a strong, resilient young woman; even if she were to play such a role, it wouldn't be a good fit. So, what kind of performance could truly stand out?

While Gu Yunyun was struggling with her decision, the system egged her on, saying, "Breaking a boulder on your chest! Splitting bricks with your bare hands! Lifting a thousand-pound cauldron! Isn't that eye-catching enough?"

Do you think this is a variety show troupe?

"Otherwise, besides your superhuman strength, what else can you perform?"

Gu Yunyun suddenly slapped her thigh, "You really reminded me."

"what?"

"Sword Dance".

Once the performance was decided, Gu Yunyun actively began preparations. In addition to the prop swords and costumes for the sword dance, she also had to put thought into the accompaniment and stage setup.

Meanwhile, Fang Hui arrived at the Chongli Newspaper Office with her manuscript.

"Hey, Fang, junior?" Bai Qian asked in surprise as he took her manuscript. "You could have just had the postman deliver it, why did you have to come all the way here yourself?"

Fang Hui smiled warmly, "Because besides submitting the manuscript today, there's something even more important." She handed over an invitation, "Our school's annual charity performance is coming up soon, how could such an outstanding senior like you not have an invitation? If it's convenient, I would be even more grateful if you could leave a small space for the charity performance in your newspaper!" Fang Hui gestured with her finger, making a tiny gesture, and said playfully.

"Haha, no problem!" Bai Qianlang laughed. "Definitely."

"Um... there's one more thing."

"You said."

"I'd like to send Mr. Yao Yulang's invitation as well. You and Mr. Yao are good friends, could you help me make an introduction?" She spoke with a hint of girlish shyness.

"Uh..." Looking at the girl's expression, Bai Qian hesitated for a moment, wondering what to say. Of course, he could see through the girl's thoughts. She had expressed her admiration for his friend in front of him before.

But Yulang is already married now, although it was arranged by his parents and he doesn't really like his wife... "Well... by the way, do you think you should add his wife to the invitation?"

"...Madam?" Fang Hui's shy expression turned to surprise.

"Ah, yes, Yulang's wedding was held in a rather low-key manner, so it's normal that people don't know about it."

Fang Hui bit her lip, "Could you tell me which family his wife comes from?"

"Um...she's a princess from a royal family." Bai Qian said, sounding somewhat embarrassed.

In the eyes of those who received modern education, both feudal old culture and people under the old culture were things they looked down upon and were resistant to.

Since the trend of free love spread throughout the East, arranged marriages by parents meant a lack of freedom and happiness. Yao Yulang's parents, on the other hand, chose a feudal princess for him, which couldn't be more tragic.

"Princess?" A glimmer of light seemed to return to Fang Hui's dim eyes. "Was it arranged by your parents?"

Bai Qian smiled apologetically, not wanting to say more, "I'm not too sure about that either."

Fang Hui thought for a moment, then looked up earnestly and said, "Please, senior, help me get an introduction! I've admired Mr. Yao for a long time, and it would be a long-held wish of mine to finally meet him in person. Please, senior..."

Bai Qian thought it wasn't a big deal, so he replied, "I'll ask for you."

"Thank you, senior!"
