Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Chi Xing frowned and took a step forward, shielding Zhou Siyu behind him.

"Um, is this your friend, Big Brother?" Akatsuki asked.

"No."

Seeing the surprise and delight in Akatsuki's eyes, Akashi continued, "She is my betrothed."

These words stunned everyone present, and the second concubine's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

She glanced uncertainly at Zhou Siyu behind Chixing, who was dressed as a man.

"This, this is... a man!"

Chi Xing didn't even look at the person who was standing there in a daze. He just hummed in response and then took Zhou Siyu upstairs.

Zhou Siyu was also stunned.

Wife? Akahoshi said she was his betrothed wife.

This realization made Zhou Siyu frown.

Whether it was the wife of the eldest uncle, the wife of the troupe leader, or the wife of Boss Li, they were all women.

And myself...

"I am not a girl."

Zhou Siyu whispered.

But because the sound was too soft, Akahoshi couldn't hear it clearly.

Back in his room, Akahoshi noticed that he looked unwell and assumed he had been frightened by Akajin.

She quickly hugged him and comforted him, saying, "Don't be afraid, that person can't hurt you."

“I’m not a girl,” Zhou Siyu said again.

Akahoshi was puzzled, but still agreed, "Yes, you are a man, not a woman."

Zhou Siyu frowned: "Neither a girl nor a wife."

His wives were all young women, but he wasn't.

"Hmm, don't you want to be my wife?" Akahoshi asked seriously.

Zhou Siyu couldn't answer the question, but he was certain he wasn't a girl.

He then said, "Yes, I won't be your wife."

Chi Xing was heartbroken. He let go of Zhou Siyu's hand, sat down in a chair, and sighed to himself.

"Fine, if she's not my wife, then I'll find a girl to be my wife. She can sleep in this bed, and from now on we'll eat, sleep, and go shopping together. I'll buy her lots of clothes, give her the best of everything, and spend every day with her..."

As he spoke, Zhou Siyu imagined the scene of Chixing with the girl in her mind.

If Chixing really treated others like that, Zhou Siyu felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.

“That means I’ll have to stay with her and won’t have time for you anymore. Besides, if I get close to you after I marry her, she’ll be angry. So we’ll just have to keep our distance.” Akahoshi continued, suppressing the urge to comfort him.

Zhou Siyu is indeed his wife, but Chixing himself is not a heartless robot; he also wants to receive equal love.

If Ayu really doesn't love him, then he should just be friends with her. As for marrying someone else, that's just talk.

250 said seriously: "Actually, a rescue mission doesn't necessarily require being together. Your Highness, you don't need to say so much to provoke him."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the little black cat was electrocuted again. Akahoshi's voice was sinister: "What do you know? I was just testing you."

The little black cat shook its ruffled fur, and two wide, noodle-like tears streamed down its face.

This is outrageous! They won't even let us speak the truth anymore, waaaaa QAQ.

Upon hearing what Chi Xing said, Zhou Siyu hurriedly replied, "No, that won't do."

Chixing poured him a glass of warm water and gave him a throat lozenge before saying:

"Why not? Ayu, you don't want to be my wife, but you won't let me marry someone else. That's too unfair to me."

He looked heartbroken, as if Zhou Siyu had broken his heart.

Zhou Siyu hesitated, choosing to become Chi Xing's wife over marrying someone else.

"Then, if I'm willing to be your wife, you can't do those things with other people."

"Hmm? You didn't want to?" Akahoshi raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Siyu fidgeted with her fingers and said seriously, "But I'm not a girl. If you come with me, people will point at you and scold you. I don't want that."

But more than anything, Zhou Siyu didn't want to see Chixing with someone else.

"So that's how it is," Akahoshi's eyes brightened slightly as she asked, "No one dares to talk about us, right? Do you want to stay with me forever?"

"It's like a married couple, inseparable forever."

Akahoshi approached him, suddenly wanting to ask him something.

Zhou Siyu didn't think for long this time, and looked at Chixing and replied, "Sure, whatever you're willing to do."

His idea was simple: as long as no one said anything about Akahoshi, and as long as Akahoshi didn't mind that he wasn't a girl, that would be fine.

During the two days he spent with Akahoshi, Akahoshi treated him very, very well. He wouldn't go hungry if he stayed with Akahoshi, and no one dared to bully him.

If he could, Zhou Siyu thought he could follow Chixing forever.

"It's a deal then, no take-backs allowed," said Akahoshi.

Zhou Siyu nodded obediently: "I won't go back on my word."

That evening, Chi Xing still ate with Zhou Siyu here, mainly because he didn't want Chi Xun to see Zhou Siyu.

The next day, when I went downstairs, I saw Commander Chi sitting on the sofa in the living room with a gloomy face, and his second wife watching the show with a look of amusement.

Chi Tengjiang was displeased when he heard that Chi Xing had brought back a man. His sharp, battle-hardened eyes looked over, and Zhou Siyu flinched in fright.

Chi Xing stepped aside to shield the person behind him, staring directly at Chi Tengjiang.

"He's all covered up so well, who is he to you?"

Chi Tengjiang despises such weak men the most. Instead of finding a proper job, they subservient to men, which is utterly disgraceful.

His tone became somewhat harsher, and he continued, "What, you're bringing her home before the marriage? Do you really think the Chi Mansion is a place for you to fool around?"

"If you have nothing to do, go to the brothel and take two more concubines. I heard that new girls have recently come there."

In his youth, Chi Tengjiang fought in many battles, displaying both courage and wisdom. He now manages Nancheng very well, making him a rare and capable general.

There was one flaw: he was too lecherous. Even in his old age, he still liked young and beautiful girls. His seventh and eighth concubines were brought back from the brothel.

It was also what the second concubine hated the most. Fengyue Pavilion was the most famous dance hall in the southern part of the city. The people there sold their art but not their bodies, but they could not resist the temptation of money.

Chi Tengjiang disliked using force and was always generous with money, making people willingly become his concubines.

Chi Xing's words reminded him that he hadn't been there in a long time, and he nodded in agreement.

"Tomorrow..."

Before he could finish speaking, he remembered that he hadn't finished lecturing the person, so he turned serious and shouted, "Stand still! I haven't said enough yet!"

Chixing had no choice but to turn to his father and say, "Father, look at your son, he's already in his mid-twenties. Is it really appropriate for him not to find a companion?"

Chi Tengjiang was taken aback by these words, and his newly established authority diminished slightly: "That's true, but no, you can't just find a man to date."

"I only like men. What can I do if I can't get aroused by women?" Akahoshi said with a "what's the use" attitude.

Startled, Chi Tengjiang's eyes widened: "You brat, what are you saying? What do you mean...?"

"It's just what you think. I asked a doctor who had studied abroad, and he said it's something you're born with and can't change."
