Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

"It's a promise, no backing out," Akahoshi said earnestly.

He had liked this person for a long time. They used to bicker and tease each other all the time, and he thought it would be good if things continued like this. But he never expected that the other person would like him too...

Or perhaps, it's the soul of this small world that likes it? What about the next small world? Will it still like me then?

Akahoshi was filled with trepidation, but that didn't affect their being together in this lifetime.

He Yuling hooked her finger in his palm: "No backing out. Whoever goes back on their word is a dog."

Although it was the first day they met, the two seemed to know each other well. They lay quietly together without feeling awkward, and instead, there was an indescribable harmony between them.

He Yuling considered himself the older one. Although he was only two years older than Chi Xing, he still held him in his arms, patted his back, and coaxed him to sleep.

Chi Xing, who was already sleepy, did not resist. She pressed her nose against He Yuling's neck and fell asleep, inhaling the faint, cool fragrance emanating from him.

He Yuling, who hadn't felt sleepy before, closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

There are drones watching outside, so they don't need to keep watch at night.

While things were sweet and warm on one side, Huo Yan on the other felt like he was walking on thin ice.

They hadn't found any food to begin with, and after Chen Xiyu ate the only eight-treasure porridge, Huo Yan couldn't find any other food.

Drinking water couldn't stave off hunger, and with the large temperature difference between day and night and a big hole in the tent, Huo Yan couldn't fall asleep even with his clothes covering him.

Chen Xiyu had already claimed the side of the tent without any holes, and even wrapped the blanket around herself and fell asleep, seemingly completely unconcerned about whether Huo Yan felt cold.

Huo Yan sighed, got up and walked out of the tent, sat down in front of the fire, surrounded by the calls of unknown birds.

He was accompanied only by a few drones in the pitch-black forest.

Off-screen, fans and netizens who stayed up late saw this scene and felt heartbroken.

What happened? Why is he in such a terrible state?

【What else could it be? Isn't it because of Chen Xiyu? I just saw Huo Yan sleeping in this hole, it broke my heart.】

【Ugh, my husband is so kind! Chen Xiyu has been dragging me along the whole way, and now I can't eat dinner or sleep. It's so miserable!!】

[Chen Xiyu is actually sleeping! How can he sleep? Burning tents, stealing food, and eating all by himself while Huo Yan goes hungry—how can he be so disgusting?]

Why are Chen Xiyu's fans silent? They say he's always being bullied? Who's actually bullying him? They always act so pitiful, like he's a real victim.

Huo Yan is, after all, a newly crowned Best Actor with a large fan base, and he quickly made the matter a trending topic, attracting many people to his live stream.

What they saw was Huo Yan sitting alone in front of the fire, lost in thought. When the insults became too harsh, some of Chen Xiyu's fans couldn't help but speak up for her.

[Can't you sleep after a long day of travel? The forest is so big, why didn't Huo Yan go out to find food? It's all his fault for being useless; he didn't dare pick mushrooms and didn't recognize any wild vegetables. He's starving and he's blaming others?]

Upon hearing this, those who had initially sympathized with Huo Yan now all turned to criticize Chen Xiyu.

[As expected, like idol, like fans. Chen Xiyu is shameless and disgusting, and his fans are just as bad.]

It's pitch black outside, and you're sending him out to find wild vegetables alone? Don't you have any conscience? This is the wilderness!

As far as I know, Huo Yingdi went out to find water once right after dark, which was when Chen Xiyu stole his food. Now he's being asked to go out and find food again?

[Oh my god, can Chen Xiyu just die? He's such a troublemaker. Back when He Yuling was a trainee with him, he framed her and got yelled at by his fans. Now that Huo Yingdi is with him, Huo Yingdi gets yelled at.]

[That's right, Chen Xiyu is probably a jinx; anyone who gets close to him is doomed.]

[Wasn't He Yuling being criticized because she bullied him?]

[Bro, go check the trending topics. It's all Chen Xiyu's fabrication. He Yuling didn't bully him at all; he's the one playing the victim to disgust people.]

The man checked the trending topics and found a lot of dirt on Chen Xiyu, including that she conspired with others to frame He Yuling, deliberately said hurtful things to others, and that caused He Yuling to push him.

That was the time when He Yuling was scolded by Chen Xiyu's fans for a long time. Later, because Chen Xiyu did a live broadcast while injured, it was confirmed that He Yuling had bullied him. For a long time, He Yuling was hated by the entire internet.

The company disbanded their boy band, and He Yuling was almost blacklisted.

But ever since then, He Yuling has never had a chance to participate in any good events. She has mostly been relegated to supporting roles for newcomers, and sometimes she doesn't even get a single shot in a variety show episode.

He Yuling was able to participate in this survival show thanks to the help of his sister, He Yuqi.

He Yuling had always performed well in previous wilderness survival summer camps. He Yuqi felt that as long as he performed normally, he could gain some fans, at least letting people know that his personality was just that straightforward.

He Yuling did indeed do an excellent job, just as He Yuqi had expected, in finding water sources, wild fruits, wild animals, and dealing with pheasants and rabbits.

He Yuqi gained a lot of fans in just one day because of his calm and composed personality, as well as fans of his pairing with Chixing. This was something He Yuqi hadn't expected.

After all, he was the young master of the Hengxing Group. She felt uneasy that her younger brother was associated with such a person.

He Yuqi was organizing the documents in her hands, while her assistant worked overtime beside her.

"Sister Qi, should we continue to hire online trolls to speak up for Chen Xiyu?"

As the assistant watched the increasing number of people criticizing Chen Xiyu in the live stream chat, he felt that their sister Qi was incredibly insightful.

"No need. We don't know who released the negative information online, but it actually helped us out."

After Chen Xiyu clashed with Ji Shiqi, He Yuqi hired online trolls to speak on Chen Xiyu's behalf, hoping to also insult others.

Then it was Huo Yan. Whenever Chen Xiyu had a conflict with someone, an online army would appear to help Chen Xiyu attack other celebrities.

In just one day, thanks to Chen Xiyu's own self-destructive behavior and the mindless attacks from online trolls, Chen Xiyu finally made it onto the trending topics list for negative reasons.

He Yuqi was very satisfied with this. Her brother had been harmed so badly, she would feel bad if she didn't return something.

To pay off her parents' debts, He Yuqi signed a ten-year contract with this company. If she waits a little longer, she can leave next year and start her own studio.

Then she can take He Yuling with her and won't have to suffer this humiliation.

What she didn't know was that in the original storyline, He Yuling didn't live to see the day she resigned.

*

The tranquility of the forest was broken by birdsong at dawn.

He Yuling opened her eyes and saw Chi Xing staring at her.

"Brother, you're awake?"

He Yuling blinked, realizing that she was recording a program and had confirmed her relationship with the young master in front of her last night.
