Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Governor Cheng felt as if he had swallowed a dead fly, unable to vent his anger.

He came to Nancheng this time because he felt that something was amiss, and even suspected that Chi Tengjiang's men had killed his son.

No matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find a single clue.

Whether it was passersby or Cheng Minghui's driver, they all said that Cheng Minghui had arranged to meet Chen Manman, and the two had a big argument in the suite for some unknown reason, after which Cheng Minghui set it on fire.

They even burned several of Chi Tengjiang's concubines in the next room to death. In the end, it really was the Cheng family that wronged Chi Tengjiang.

Governor Cheng was already grieving the loss of his son, and now he was being verbally abused and even being asked for compensation by the people at the Nancheng Hotel.

Chen Jian, the owner of Nancheng Hotel, was also saddened by the death of his daughter. Chen Manman was the daughter he cherished most, and he never expected her to die so tragically.

And his restaurant, it was all burned down. Who can he complain to?

They could only wail and beg Governor Cheng for compensation; their daughter had died, and they needed some money.

Thus, Governor Cheng, who came to investigate his son's death, found nothing, and for the sake of his reputation, he had to bear the losses of the Nancheng Hotel.

He gave Chi Tengjiang some more benefits before he left Nancheng.

However, he always felt that this matter was strange and suspected that it was a conspiracy between the Chen family and Chi Tengjiang. But he had no evidence and could only hold a grudge against the Chen family and Chi Tengjiang.

Meanwhile, the culprit, Chi Xing, was in the courtyard with Zhou Siyu, holding her on his lap and whispering to her.

However, Zhou Siyu's condition was not good. She had to stick to Chixing all the time, and would even take the initiative to kiss Chixing, wanting to be with Chixing...

Before that incident, Akahoshi would have been so happy he couldn't sleep.

But after that incident, he felt that Zhou Siyu was not willing, or rather, Zhou Siyu was not happy at all.

Akahoshi did not go along with his wishes, but instead told him to think it over carefully.

He didn't like Ayu doing things she didn't like, even if it was with him.

“I’ll sing you a song, what would you like to hear?” Zhou Siyu asked.

“Sing whatever you like to sing, I like it all.”

So Zhou Siyu began to sing her favorite piece, "The Peony Pavilion".

The courtyard wasn't large, but it had everything it needed. The artificial hills and flowing water created a very artistic atmosphere, and Akahoshi became completely captivated as he listened.

Recalling the day I first met Zhou Siyu, she stood alone on the stage, full of confidence, and every move she made was captivating.

Remembering the things he had instructed people to do before he left, Chixing began to look forward to seeing Zhou Siyu put on her opera costume and perform again.

Someone knocked on the door.

Chi Xing put Zhou Siyu down, told him to drink some water and rest for a while, and went out to open the door.

One of his adjutants stood at the door, and behind the adjutant was the shopkeeper of the costume shop from last time.

They were allowed to enter, and their belongings were placed in the front hall. Akahoshi had them laid out one by one before he asked them to leave.

Zhou Siyu came out after not seeing him for a while, but seeing someone nearby, she didn't dare to come over. She only came out and called out to Chixing after the person left.

Knowing he didn't want to see anyone else, Akahoshi quickly walked over, hugged him, and whispered, "They're gone, don't be afraid."

Zhou Siyu was led over by Chi Xing, and her eyes lit up when she saw what was on display.

"Take a look, do you like it?"

Chixing told him to look at the costumes hanging on the wall, as well as the cosmetics and accessories on the table.

Zhou Siyu was immediately captivated by the sight, and carefully reached out to touch the costumes. There were several sets, and the embroidered patterns on them were incredibly lifelike.

There were several sets of headdresses inlaid with pearls and jade, crystal-clear jade hairpins, and strings of exquisite emerald bead necklaces... There were so many things that he couldn't take them all in.

Zhou Siyu, who had been singing opera since childhood, was familiar with these things, but had never worn anything so beautiful and expensive.

He asked uncertainly, "Are all of these for me?"

With bright eyes and an earnest questioning look, Akahoshi was instantly struck by a thought: how could there be such a lovely person in the world?

Akahoshi's Adam's apple bobbed as he reached out and ruffled Akahoshi's hair. "Yeah, they're all yours. If you like them, I'll buy you more in the future, as many as you want."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Siyu reacted as if she had received the best gift, throwing herself into Chi Xing's arms with a beautiful smile on her face: "Thank you, I like it very much."

On the simple stage, a few lights were lit.

The blue kingfisher feather inlay is covered with large white pearls, paired with a matching pearl hair ornament.

Her lips were bright red, her eye makeup was heavy, her eyebrows were long and thin, her eyes were like stars, her nose was high and straight, and her face was as white as jade.

Zhou Siyu wore a red robe with blue patterns, the body of which was covered with exquisite embroidery. The collar was decorated with silver-white openwork embroidery, which complemented the embroidery of the same color on the cuffs and hem.

The pearl necklace around her neck made Zhou Siyu's face appear even more radiant, like the bright moon.

She gracefully stepped onto the stage, a small ivory folding fan lightly held in her hand, every movement showcasing the unique style of this era.

With a slight movement of her beautiful eyes, Zhou Siyu looked down at the audience. The man was dressed in a military uniform, with a cold and stern face, staring at her intently.

Her face flushed slightly beneath her foundation, and Zhou Siyu, who was usually expressionless on stage, unconsciously curved her lips into a smile.

He tightened his grip on the folding fan, and an unprecedented shyness made his ears turn red.

It was one thing to not know Xingxing before, but this time, it seemed to be the first time she would officially perform in front of Xingxing. Zhou Siyu told herself that she had to sing well.

Unbeknownst to him, Chi Xing, sitting in the audience, was filled with regret. He should have prepared these things for A Yu earlier; his A Yu was truly stunning on stage.

After that, Akahoshi resolutely hid the person, ensuring that no one would ever see Ayu like this.

As the melodious singing began on stage, Akahoshi stared intently at the stage, not blinking, as if afraid of missing a single glance from Ayu.

Zhou Siyu held a folding fan, her beautiful face half-hidden.

He is rather thin, but thanks to Akahoshi's care during this period, he does not appear weak. On the contrary, his years of stage experience allow him to perform each dance and song with ease.

Even adorned with layers upon layers of jewels and jade, the brilliance of the jewels and jade paled in comparison to Zhou Siyu's every smile and gesture.

At this moment, Chi Xing only had Zhou Siyu's stunningly beautiful face in his eyes. The surrounding lights were dim, and only the bright moon on the stage kept attracting his attention.

For no reason, Chi Xing's heart skipped a few beats, but he didn't have time to pay attention because Zhou Siyu was walking down the stage step by step.

A white jade carving appeared out of nowhere; upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be a white magnolia, held by slender, pale fingers.

Zhou Siyu raised her hand, her red lips holding the small magnolia flower in her mouth, and slowly walked to Chixing.

When they bent over, you could almost hear their heartbeats.

Akahoshi's dark eyes flickered, and as the young actor approached, he reached out and pulled him onto his lap.
