I'm a cannon fodder, but I'm actually a heartthrob

Lingzhou City was covered in ice and snow, and was a little colder than the capital.

Rong Jin got off the carriage wearing a thick cloak and holding a hand warmer.

This place is a long distance away from the border and has not been affected by the war. The streets are filled with a constant stream of people.

"I think Lingzhou City's Spring and Autumn is better," Lu Mingzhi has been here many times. He took Rong Jin to a shop where he knew the route well and said, "We also have Lingzhou's specialty Lingzhou noodles. Rongrong, do you want to try it?"

"Okay."

Lu Mingzhi brought a small stool for Rong Jin, and after Rong Jin sat down, he shouted, "Waiter, give me two bowls of Lingzhou noodles!"

"Okay, sir, wait a moment."

Lu Mingzhi pulled a stool closer to Rong Jin and said, "Rongrong, can you eat spicy food?"

“Not really.” Rong Jin prefers light taste and doesn’t eat spicy food.

"Okay, I'll go tell them not to put chili in it."

There were quite a lot of people in this store, men, women, young and old. Rong Jin looked at them with interest for a while until Lu Mingzhi came over.

Rong Jin asked, "Are you still going to the border?"

Lu Mingzhi said: "It's okay to go or not, but now that Rongrong is here, I won't go."

Rong Jin recalled the content about Lu Mingzhi in the plot and said casually: "Then why don't you stay in the capital?"

"All the important people are gone, and I don't want to stay in the capital. I went back this time to find Rongrong. Luckily I ran into her by accident."

Lu Mingzhi was glad that he had the sudden inspiration to come to the city gate that day, otherwise he would never have met Rong Jin again.

Lingzhou noodles tasted very fragrant. Rong Jin tasted the soup and felt that this bowl of noodles was very much to his liking.

After finishing a bowl of noodles, Rong Jin felt warm all over, and Lu Mingzhi stuffed a piece of Lingzhou sweets into his hand.

There was sweet food in his left hand, but his right hand was empty.

Lu Mingzhi secretly took Rong Jin's right hand, and when he noticed that Rong Jin did not shake it off, the corners of his mouth curled up with joy.

"My parents are buried in Lingzhou City. My mother said that she and my father met here. If they died on the battlefield, let me bury them in Lingzhou."

At that time, Lu Mingzhi said nonchalantly: "Oh, mother, please don't say such things. You and father will definitely live a long life."

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, both parents died on the battlefield.

Lu Mingzhi sighed, "Rongrong, when I die, I also want to be buried in Lingzhou."

Rong Jin: "Then bury it?"

Lu Mingzhi leaned his head on Rong Jin's shoulder and said, "But I want to be buried with Rongrong. Wherever Rongrong goes, I will go."

0517: [Huh. 】

Rong Jin said with embarrassment: “Not really.” The system said that his body was his own, so after he left the mission world, he might not even be able to find his corpse.

Lu Mingzhi said aggrievedly: "Why? Rongrong doesn't want to be buried with me?"

Rong Jin couldn't explain, so he organized his words and said, "Well... after I die, I want to be cremated and my ashes scattered in the mountains and forests."

Lu Mingzhi's pupils trembled: "Isn't this just grinding bones to dust?!"

Rong Jin: “?”

Lu Mingzhi suddenly grabbed Rong Jin's shoulders, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Rong Jin: “You say.” Don’t hold on to him, this action is quite weird on the street.

"Rongrong, only people who have committed serious crimes would use the method of scattering bones and ashes. Don't let this become a pity!"

"Okay." Rong Jin forgot that scattering ashes was a bad idea in ancient times.

[Moreover, scattering bones and ashes is a form of criminal law. In their view, scattering ashes means that the body is gone and the soul is scattered.]

"I was just joking," Rong Jin smiled awkwardly, "I haven't thought about what happens after death. Anything is fine."

"Yeah, there's no point in thinking about it now." Lu Mingzhi didn't continue the topic.

The sky in Lingzhou City gets dark earlier than in the capital. It was dark just after they finished walking down the street. Before dark, Lu Mingzhi and Rong Jin rushed to their residence and had dinner.

"Rongrong, can I sleep with you tonight?" Lu Mingzhi negotiated.

"No."

"Rongrong, I can warm your bed, we can sleep together~"

Lu Mingzhi held Rong Jin's hand and spoke in a slow voice.

Seeing Rong Jin was moved, he continued, "Rongrong, I don't dare to sleep alone, I will have nightmares, can you accompany me?"

Rong Jin was about to nod when 0517 said faintly: [Be careful of getting bitten.]

Rong Jin immediately changed his attitude: "No, you will get used to sleeping alone."

He doesn't want to be bitten again!

Those dog men's bites can really hurt sometimes.

And Lu Mingzhi has two canine fangs, so it must be very painful if he bites someone.

Rong Jin became more determined not to sleep with Lu Mingzhi.

Lu Mingzhi returned to his room in a daze. His back looked so pitiful that Rong Jin felt a little soft-hearted.

【I can also warm the bed. 】

0517 said something inexplicable.

Rong Jin was surprised: "Is it true?"

0517: [Really.]

Rong Jin walked back to the room quickly and said, "Qiqi, how are you warm?"

【It will be fine in a minute.】

Rong Jin waited for a minute before touching the bed sheet, and it was indeed hot inside.

"Qiqi, you are so awesome!"

Rong Jin took off his clothes and got into bed, but his feet were still cold.

Something hot wrapped around Rong Jin's feet, and Rong Jin was startled: "Qiqi?"

[Well, I'll warm your feet.]

"What did you use to keep me warm?"

【…】

Rong Jin didn't hear 0517's answer, and thought that 0517 was not convenient to explain, so he stopped asking.

The warm quilt was very comfortable and Rong Jin fell asleep after lying down for a while.

0517 She stopped her hand after he fell asleep, tucked him in, and said softly: [Good night, Rongrong.]

When Rong Jin woke up, his feet were still warm. He stretched and went out to see that it was snowing again.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lu Mingzhi hanging around in front of his door.

"Rongrong, are you awake? Were you cold last night?" He had already made up his mind that if Rong Jin said he was cold, he would take the opportunity to suggest sleeping together again.

Rong Jin said, "It's not cold, it's warm."

Lu Mingzhi said with a droopy face: "Oh, Rongrong, do you still want to go out for a walk?"

"No," Rong Jin looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky and reached out to catch one. The snowflake melted quickly when it touched his warm palm. "I don't want to go out in such a cold day."

Rong Jin retracted his hand and shuddered.

"Okay, let's go inside." Lu Mingzhi was afraid that Rong Jin would be cold, so he lit the charcoal fire before he woke up.

"Rongrong, can you play chess? I have some Go here."

Rong Jin didn't know how to play Go, but he knew how to play Gobang, so he said, "Okay, I'll teach you a new way to play."

Lu Mingzhi asked someone to bring the chessboard and chess pieces over. "What's the new way to play?"

Rong Jin placed five chess pieces in a line on the chessboard and said, "In Gobang, as long as the five chess pieces are in a line, you win."

Lu Mingzhi became interested and helped Rong Jin take back the chess piece, saying, "I understand. Let's try it."

Rong Jin took the white chess piece and placed it on the chessboard. Lu Mingzhi took a black chess piece and placed it to the right of the white chess piece. After placing it, he couldn't help but think: the black chess piece and the white chess piece are really a perfect match, just like him and Rong Rong.

As Lu Mingzhi was thinking, the game ended.

He placed all his black pieces behind the white pieces, and the white pieces were connected diagonally into a straight line, and then Rong Jin won.

"What are you thinking about?" Rong Jin tapped the chessboard a few times: "It's also considered a win if it's diagonal."

Lu Mingzhi came back to his senses and said, "Okay, I understand. Rongrong, let's do it again."
