Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

"This is impossible! How could our Chi family be failing? Has it been wiped out?" Chi Tengjiang stood up anxiously.

The servants around them had already left before the two started arguing, leaving only the second concubine, who still wanted to watch the show, sitting to the side.

Hearing these words now, I couldn't help but be shocked.

Chi Tengjiang looked over with murderous intent, and the second concubine was so frightened that her legs went weak. She quickly stood up and said, "I, I didn't hear anything."

Now it was Chixing's turn to watch the show. He pulled Zhou Siyu to sit on the other side of the sofa, picked up the tangerines on the table, peeled them, and fed them to Zhou Siyu segment by segment.

Zhou Siyu couldn't understand what they were saying, but she was still very interested in the fruit she had never eaten before.

Chi Tengjiang wouldn't actually kill the second concubine; he just gave her a good warning and told her not to tell anyone about it.

He then looked at Chi Xing and Zhou Siyu and sighed, "You're not lying to me on purpose, are you?"

"I'm not lying to you, you see, I haven't been with a woman all these years. Is it because I don't want to?"

That's really true.

Chi Tengjiang's face was grim. Over the years, whether his son went to the military camp or to study in the capital, he hadn't been able to find a woman, let alone talk to one.

He thought the kid was just immature, but he never expected that this brat would like men.

"Well, how about we try finding a woman?" Chi Tengjiang persisted.

Chi Xing, looking nonchalant, peeled another segment of orange and fed it to Zhou Siyu, saying, "It's no use, Dad. When I was in school, so many people pursued me, but I didn't react to any of them."

Chi Tengjiang sighed deeply: "What a tragedy, our Chi family is truly going to be wiped out."

“What about my second brother?” Akahoshi reminded him.

Chi Tengjiang nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, yes, and your second brother too. I'll have him have a few more children, and then we'll adopt them for you."

"Let's talk about it later. In my opinion, Dad should have a few more children."

Chi Tengjiang was speechless for a moment. Did he not want to have children? Not a single one of them had gotten pregnant.

He glanced at Chi Xing, then at the obedient Zhou Siyu beside him, and finally realized that something was wrong.

The child looked quite young, and the fear he had shown at the beginning was gone from his eyes; he was now incredibly innocent.

Chi Tengjiang's eyes widened, and he angrily retorted, "You, you forced her? She's so young, you beast!"

As he spoke, he picked up a cup from the coffee table and threw it at Akahoshi.

Akahoshi reached out and took the cup, saying calmly, "Does your son seem like that kind of person? Have I ever done anything like that in all these years?"

"No, but he..."

Chi Tengjiang looked at the child from left to right and felt that the child was probably forced by Chi Xing. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why such a simple child would voluntarily come back with Chi Xing.

"Don't hit the stars, hit me instead."

Zhou Siyu, who had been standing there blankly, suddenly stood in front of Chi Xing, suppressing her fear, and looked at Chi Tengjiang.

Chi Tengjiang had never seen such an obedient boy before. He had only watched Chi Xing grow up, and Chi Xing had always been a mischievous boy all these years.

In the family, only Chixing was not afraid of his father. In Chitengjiang's heart, only Chixing was the most like himself, and he placed high hopes on him.

As for the other children, all he ever saw was fear of him, not respect for their father, so Chi Tengjiang gradually grew to dislike them.

Even Chi Xun, the son of the second concubine, looked at him like a mouse seeing a cat, making Chi Tengjiang have no desire to say more than a few words to him.

This kid in front of me is interesting. He's clearly terrified, yet he still dares to stand in front of Chixing.

Chi Tengjiang hatched a wicked plan, his brows furrowed, and he said fiercely:

"Hit you? How many hits can you take with your small frame? The military batons in the barracks are no joke. They'll break your legs eventually."

Zhou Siyu was so frightened that her legs went weak, but she still refused to leave and said seriously, "Then if you hit me, don't hit him. He did nothing wrong."

Chixing gave him money, good food and drink, and even let him sleep in a big bed. How could he let someone beat up Chixing?

"Tsk, if you scare him again, I'll have someone send all the concubines away." Chi Xing pulled the person in front of her onto her lap and looked coldly at Chi Tengjiang.

This didn't sound like a joke. Chi Xing hated it most when anyone threatened Zhou Siyu, not even his own father.

Chi Tengjiang rolled his eyes: "Fine, fine, I, as your father, can't even discipline you? I think you've really gone too far."

Knowing his father's character well, Akahoshi said bluntly:

"Don't scare him anymore. In a couple of days, I'll go with him to get our marriage certificate. He'll be our family's eldest daughter-in-law."

With a loud "bang," Chi Tengjiang slammed his hand on the table.

"Say that again?"

Akahoshi repeated what he had just said, slowing down his tone to make sure everyone could hear him clearly.

Chi Tengjiang pointed at him, speechless for a long time.

"You, you're really trying to drive me crazy! This is a man! I don't care if you take him as a concubine, but you said you want to get a marriage certificate with him?"

Akahoshi nodded: "Yes, I can't marry anyone else anyway."

"I think you've really gone too far!" Chi Tengjiang was about to say something when Chi Xing continued.

"Dad, you should have another child soon. Don't count on me."

After saying that, Chi Xing carried Zhou Siyu out the door, which made Chi Tengjiang so angry that he pointed at the door and cursed loudly.

Akahoshi wasn't afraid at all. This father looked fierce, but in reality, apart from daily training, he had never beaten his child, much less killed people at will like other powerful people.

He never actually hit the concubines in the backyard; most of the time, he just talked about it.

For example, right now, he's cursing and swearing, but actually letting Chixing and Zhou Siyu leave means he's already tacitly agreed to it.

Chi Xing carried Zhou Siyu to the car. Zhou Siyu was still a little dazed and asked blankly, "We're leaving? He's very angry."

"Hmm, don't worry about him, he won't be angry to death."

Zhou Siyu thought for a moment and then said, "Then he said he'd beat you to death."

Chixing smiled and reached out to rub his head again: "Aren't you afraid he'll beat you to death?"

"I'm scared, but I don't want you to die." Zhou Siyu said so earnestly that even Chixing couldn't bear to joke with him like that.

"No, I won't let anyone hurt you, and I won't die."

After leaving the Chi Mansion, Chi Xing took Zhou Siyu to the military camp.

He was left in his lounge, and Akahoshi went out for a while.

With someone arranged to accompany him, Zhou Siyu did not encounter any bad things.

That evening, Chi Xing casually took Zhou Siyu to dinner with his family.

With Chi Tengjiang present, no one else dared to say more than a few words at the dinner table.

Watching Chi Xing personally peel shrimp and crab for Zhou Siyu, Chi Tengjiang put down the bowls and chopsticks louder than usual, startling everyone at the table so much that they dared not breathe.

Seeing him like this, Chi Xing had no choice but to peel another bowl and push it in front of Chi Tengjiang.

"Here, please eat more too."
