The Cannon Fodder Doesn't Want to Return to the Rich Family (Translated)

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

When Mr. Lu, Ms. Li, and Lu Qi's flight arrived in Shancheng, it was already dark.

They knew it was too late to disturb the child now, but they couldn't resist wanting to be closer to him.

By the time the three of them stood at the bottom of the dilapidated building, it was already deep into the night, and Lu Yao had long turned off the lights and fallen asleep.

Mr. Lu and Ms. Li stood there with heavy expressions, gazing up at the location of Lu Yao's apartment, their thoughts unknown.

After a while, Mr. Lu finally spoke, "Let's go. Get a good rest tonight and come back tomorrow."

Although he said to rest well, all three knew it would be a sleepless night.

Mr. Lu found a nearby budget hotel still open and decided they would spend the night there.

Normally, Lu Qi was very picky about hotel accommodations when traveling, but today, he had no objections to Mr. Lu's arrangement.

Meanwhile, Lu Yao, lying in bed, found himself once again pulled into that strange dream. Recently, he had been dreaming the same dream every night.

In the dream, his transparent figure floated in mid-air, silently observing from a god's perspective.

The dreaming Lu Yao stood on a rooftop, laughing maniacally.

A bright-faced girl suddenly appeared on the rooftop. Seeing her, his crazed state quieted, and he looked at her longingly.

The girl coldly shook off his reaching hand, said something to him, and then left in her high heels.

Not long after the girl left, he climbed onto the edge of the rooftop, a look of peaceful release on his face, and then he jumped.

Lu Yao had lost count of how many times he had seen this scene, but each time, his brows furrowed in disapproval.

Through these repeated dreams, Lu Yao had realized that the world he was in was from a brainless Mary Sue novel, "The School Bully's Obsessive Love."

In the novel, Lu Yao was just a cannon fodder character, while the protagonist was his half-brother, the school bully Lu Qi.

As a tool to advance the plot, Lu Yao dared to vie with the protagonist for the Mary Sue heroine, leading to his inevitable downfall.

In the novel, the cannon fodder Lu Yao, although the youngest master of the Lu family, was raised outside.

He had been kidnapped by a nanny in his infancy. The nanny, evading police pursuit, tried to strangle him and left him in a bush.

Fortunately, he survived and was found by his adoptive father, who was working in Haicheng. The adoptive father, believing a fortune teller's words that a son would bring wealth, took the child in, planning to abandon him once his wife conceived.

Later, the adoptive father, deeply in debt due to gambling, fled back to his hometown in Shancheng.

After being found by his biological parents, the novel's Lu Yao felt like a bumpkin among the noble Lu family, leading to deep-seated inferiority.

He transferred to the elite high school where his brother Lu Qi was studying.

Feeling uneasy in the new environment, he was comforted by the heroine's kindness, leading him to fall for her.

To win the Mary Sue heroine's favor, the cannon fodder did many things, mistakenly believing their feelings were mutual. When he planned to confess, he found out the heroine loved his school bully brother Lu Qi and they were already together.
