Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

"How could that be? Brother won't die, Xiaoyue, don't cry."

The little girl handed the box to Akahoshi; inside the transparent box, a small spider was crawling around.

Akahoshi suddenly remembered that this spider was Akagetsu's favorite pet, which she usually wouldn't let anyone see. She never expected that it would be given to her.

He handed the spider back to her: "You play with it yourself, I'm just looking."

When the gift was returned, Chiyue wasn't angry; instead, she hugged the spider back into her arms.

"Thank you, brother, but I also can't bear to give you the little pig."

Yunxian was happy to see the two children getting along so well, so she took one of them by the hand and went downstairs to eat.

During the meal, his family members served food to Akahoshi, but didn't ask him much about his time on the island, afraid of upsetting him.

But after dinner, Akahoshi took the initiative to go to his parents' study and explain how he fell into the sea and was swept ashore by the waves.

When Chi Yi heard that Chi Lin had pushed his son into the sea, his expression changed. He looked at Chi Xing and asked, "Chi Lin? Son, are you sure you didn't see wrong?"

"It's true. My uncle was taking me on a trip on the boat. I don't know why he pushed me into the sea."

Akahoshi seemed to be greatly frightened.

He's only eight years old, and sometimes what he says might not be believed by adults, but he still has to say it so that his parents will be wary of Chi Lin.

As for why Chi Lin pushed him into the sea, even if he didn't say it, Chi Yi could guess it himself.

He knew that Chi Lin was an adopted child and was usually well-behaved and sensible. If what Chi Xing said was true, then wouldn't they have raised an ungrateful child all these years?

"Dad will investigate this matter. Don't tell anyone yet. We don't have any evidence. Just say you forgot how you fell into the water, understand?"

After he finished speaking seriously, both Chixing and Yunxian nodded.

Yunxian gritted her teeth in hatred: "No wonder Xiaoyue said that her uncle told her that her brother was dead. I think it was Chilin who did it. He didn't seem like that kind of person usually. I never thought that he was the one who killed Xingxing."

To think that her usually gentle and refined uncle could be so vicious, if he harmed her son this time, would he harm her daughter next time?

She held the sleeping Chiyue tightly in her arms, still shaken.

Upon leaving the study, Akahoshi learned some news.

Chi Lin is preparing to study abroad.

During this period, he never returned once, as if he felt guilty and dared not go home.

Chi Xing went back to school, and Chi Yi arranged for bodyguards to follow her. He was also secretly investigating Chi Lin's connections within the Chi family.

But Chi Lin has already gone abroad. He is a top student who was admitted to the best university through a special admission program. Even if he goes abroad now, it is still arranged by the school.

Chi Yi had no way to interfere, so he could only freeze Chi Lin's funds.

After all the domestic assets were recovered, Chi Yi discovered that several small companies were under Chi Lin's name.

Chixing went back to school and had already mastered the elementary school knowledge. After the final exam, the teacher called Yunxian and asked her to come to the school to suggest that Chixing skip a grade.

Akahoshi skipped elementary school and went straight to junior high.

After attending the middle school for a semester, the principal arranged for him to take the high school entrance exam, and unsurprisingly, he achieved excellent results.

It's been a long time since a nine-year-old has started high school.

After entering high school, all the teachers, including the principal, came to welcome this young student. Akahoshi was not intimidated at all. Like a learning machine, he kept his head down and did his homework all day long with a serious face.

Actually, I was devastated inside.

When will I finally grow up?

Why did I only grow two years older even though I go to school every day?

In the past, Akahoshi would only feel that time passed quickly, wondering why a lifetime was only a few short decades.

Until this moment, he knew what it meant for each day to feel like an eternity, and he really wished he could suddenly grow up.

"Brother Xing, how do I do this problem? This math problem is driving me crazy, please teach me!"

As soon as get out of class ended, a classmate came up to him to ask him a question.

Mathematics has always been a nightmare for senior high school students.

Akahoshi from Class 1 of Senior Three is like a teacher who sets the questions; no question can stump him.

Since ten-year-old Akahoshi entered his senior year of high school, he has never changed his position as the top student in his grade.

This person is simply a ruthless learning machine; they have to admire him.

Chi Xing sighed and started explaining the problem to the student. Since the class was full of top students, he didn't need to explain in great detail. The student quickly looked enlightened.

"So that's how it is. How come I didn't think of that?"

He hurriedly returned to his seat and began solving the problem.

Just after school that day, Chixing, as usual, went to the largest beach in Lingcheng.

This is the property of the Chi family. It was originally a tourist resort, but Chi Xing and Chi Yi took it over and turned it into his private territory.

The seaside villas here were completed in two years.

Akahoshi sat on the reef, staring blankly at the sea.

"Your Highness, perhaps the Immortal Lord still has matters to attend to." 250 couldn't help but comfort him.

In the past two years, whenever Akahoshi had free time, he would come here to wait for Hakuyu, but each time he would leave disappointed.

Chixing held a beautiful silver scale in his hand, which Baiyu had given him.

“Liar,” Akahoshi whispered.

The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) will soon be over, and University A will welcome a freshman who is only ten years old.

Yunxian felt uneasy every time she saw her son's taciturn demeanor, as if something was missing from him.

He consulted many psychologists, and even took Akahoshi to see one. At first, he was happy to make the psychologist cry, but later he didn't even want to talk to the doctor anymore, and just looked at the doctor with a look like he was an idiot.

"All the data shows that the child is normal, and he is very smart," the doctor in the white coat told Chi Yi and his wife.

However, this is what makes Yunxian uneasy.

"But I always felt that he didn't have the liveliness that a child should have."

The doctor explained, "Every child has a different personality. Maybe he just doesn't like crowds, which is normal."

"Really? He studies all day long. Won't that be bad for his health?" Yunxian asked again.

The doctor patiently explained, "No, this child is just smart. He probably thinks playing with toys is childish."

After all, when he was testing the child's attention earlier, he put the toy on the table, and the child looked at him with a speechless expression and as if he were an idiot.

The doctor felt he was doing the test unnecessarily, but these two were among the most prominent figures in Lingcheng, so he dared not be careless.

"I've heard that Mr. Chi and his wife were both prodigies at a young age. This child may have inherited their good qualities, which is a good thing," the doctor said.

Come to think of it, which family doesn't force their children to study? It's just these two who are worried that studying will harm their children's health.

Yunxian was relieved only after confirming that Chixing was both physically and mentally alright.

After entering university, Chi Xing studied several majors and declined the opportunity to study abroad. He wanted to wait for Bai Yu here.
