Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Akahoshi asked 250: "Where does he live?"

250: [The original plot was set in a small county town, not in Nancheng. The opera troupe has moved around a lot in the past two years, making them very difficult to locate.]

Chi Xing's heart sank, while Zhou Siyu stood at a distance waiting for his answer.

250 said uncertainly, "Perhaps we can find Uncle Zhou, but it might take a while."

Akahoshi: [Find it, and tell me immediately when you find it.]

He looked at Zhou Siyu, frowned, and said, "How about I go with you to find your parents later?"

"But this isn't my home! What should I do?" Zhou Siyu asked, looking distressed.

He seems to have lost his home; even after being redeemed, he still can't find it.

He looked down helplessly, fidgeting with his fingers, unsure of what to do, but his mind just couldn't come up with a better solution.

The more anxious I became, the more confused I became. My throat tightened, and large tears fell onto my hands.

Seeing this, Akahoshi felt sorry for him and went over to hug him, saying, "Don't cry, I'll help you find it."

"My...my esteemed sir, I...I can't remember." Zhou Siyu couldn't remember the way home and couldn't help but cry out, her tears flowing uncontrollably.

Chixing had never seen Ayu like this before, and his heart ached. He pulled her onto his lap and gently coaxed her.

"Don't be sad. I'll help you find your way home. I promise I'll find it, okay?"

Hearing his gentle words of comfort, Zhou Siyu was momentarily dazed.

Over the years, his uncle either starved him or scolded him, and it was the same when he was in the previous opera troupe.

Only Boss Li treated him well, but the people in the theater would bully him when Boss Li wasn't around.

No one had ever spoken to him so softly before, and no one had ever treated him like a fool, as if he were a nobleman.

He knew that "fool" was a bad word, but everyone called him that, even the term "Miss Zhou" wasn't a nice way to address him.

Zhou Siyu's mind wasn't as quick as others', but he could still sense the malice directed at him by those around him.

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and Zhou Siyu's tears fell even harder. In the end, she buried her head in Chi Xing's arms and cried uncontrollably.

Akahoshi was at a loss. He had never seen Ayu cry like this before. He could only watch helplessly as Ayu shed tears. Akahoshi felt a sense of powerlessness he had never experienced before.

Half an hour later, Zhou Siyu stopped crying, but she still looked dazed. Chi Xing asked in a low voice:

"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

Zhou Siyu turned her head to look at him, wondering if there was still a choice. In the past, he would only eat two cornbread buns, and at most a small bowl of mixed grain porridge.

If he could choose, he would like to eat three steamed buns made of white flour, and also two bowls of rice porridge.

Under Akahoshi's gentle gaze, Zhou Siyu expressed her thoughts.

Akahoshi asked, "Is this what you usually eat?"

Zhou Siyu shook her head, her voice a little hoarse: "No, not that many."

Worried that Akahoshi would think he ate too much, he whispered, "If there aren't three, then two will do."

Chi Xing suddenly hugged him tightly, thinking about how Zhou Siyu had been struggling to make ends meet all these years and still had to practice every day. How difficult that must have been for him.

Looking at his 1.7-meter height at seventeen, so thin that he would feel uncomfortable to hug, Akahoshi felt a dull pain in his heart and couldn't breathe.

If he had come into this world earlier, would Zhou Siyu have been spared all of this?

"No? Then, may I have a bowl of rice porridge?" Zhou Siyu's voice came from Chixing's arms, sounding extremely weak.

Chixing told him to stay there and went downstairs to the kitchen.

There are servants in the mansion, but Akahoshi doesn't like being disturbed, so the servants usually don't dare to come up to the third floor. At this moment, Akahoshi has to go down by himself.

He had some light dishes prepared and brought up, and also specially made a bowl of soft lean meat porridge.

Zhou Siyu is almost not picky about food; he eats all kinds of dishes, some of which he hasn't eaten in a long time, and others of which he has never seen before.

If Akahoshi hadn't been watching him, he probably would have eaten until he couldn't eat anymore.

Zhou Siyu, who had never eaten to the point of being stuffed, felt a stomach ache, so Chixing took him downstairs for a walk to help him digest.

It was completely dark outside. Lanterns were lit in the courtyard of the Chi Mansion. Zhou Siyu was not used to being there. When he saw the guards with guns, he hid behind Chi Xing.

Chixing led him along a deserted path for a while before taking him upstairs, thinking about when she could buy a courtyard house outside.

Thinking of the original owner's wish, Akahoshi still needs to maintain her persona here, and she will need to go out soon.

Upstairs, Chixing had prepared hot water in the bathtub for Zhou Siyu to wash up.

Zhou Siyu came out, and Chixing went in. Thinking that he couldn't keep his wife waiting, Chixing acted quickly.

Zhou Siyu, who was used to going to bed early, sat on the sofa waiting for him, nodding his head. When he saw Chixing come out, he immediately stood up.

"Noble man."

Akahoshi was only wearing a bath towel, his upper body was bare, and water droplets slowly flowed down his neck to his abdominal muscles. The firm muscles made Zhou Siyu stare for a moment, and she unconsciously swallowed.

"Didn't I tell you my name? Why are you still calling me 'esteemed person'?"

I told him his name back in the evening when we were having dinner, but Zhou Siyu still called him "noble person," which made Chixing laugh.

Zhou Siyu thought for a moment, then whispered to Chi Xing, "Xingxing?"

Chi Xing was already used to this nickname. He walked up to Zhou Siyu and couldn't help but rub his head with his hand.

Because he was raised as a girl from a young age, Zhou Siyu had very long hair. Chixing asked him if he wanted to cut his hair.

Zhou Siyu had never thought about this question, but since all the men he saw had short hair, he nodded and agreed to cut his long hair.

Akahoshi plans to get his hair cut tomorrow and buy him clothes and some daily necessities while she's at it.

"Xingxing, I want to sleep. Can I sleep here?" Zhou Siyu pointed to the large leather sofa.

It's so soft here, it must be very comfortable to sleep in.

As for the two-meter-wide bed over there, Zhou Siyu didn't even dare to think about it. Boss Li said that this person was a very powerful and influential person, and she absolutely could not offend him, so how could she sleep in his bed?

Akahoshi raised an eyebrow, thinking he didn't want to sleep with her, and directly refused, "No."

As soon as he said that, Akahoshi regretted it.

Zhou Siyu lowered her head and started fidgeting with her fingers again, like a helpless stray cat, homeless but afraid to approach people.

Chixing sighed inwardly, bent down and picked the person up, ignoring the astonishment on the other person's face, and threw the person onto the soft bed.

Zhou Siyu was thrown onto the bed, her body bounced up a little, her head was a little dizzy, and after feeling the softness beneath her, her hand couldn't help but touch the even softer blanket.

The space beside her sank in, and Chixing followed her onto the bed. Zhou Siyu realized she was already on the bed and tried to get up, feeling lost.
