Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Gu Yuzhi's hand froze in place, his face filled with disbelief.

His eyes widened, thinking he had misheard.

"You, what did you say?"

Akahoshi chuckled softly and repeated, "I like you. I liked you from the first time we met."

Gu Yuzhi still couldn't believe it, his voice a little hoarse: "Xingxing, do you know what you're saying?"

This is something unheard of, something no one has ever accepted before: Akahoshi says he likes himself?

Gu Yuzhi thought it was absurd enough that he liked Akahoshi, but he never expected that his liking would be reciprocated.

Moreover, Akahoshi said that he liked her the first time he saw her?

Chi Xing turned her head slightly, and her soft lips pressed against Gu Yuzhi's neck.

The soft touch made Gu Yuzhi tremble involuntarily, his whole body felt tingly and numb, and his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.

"Ayu, I like you, the kind of liking that makes me want to marry you, and I will only ever like you."

His hot breath sprayed onto Gu Yuzhi's neck, causing his body to tremble again.

"But we are all men."

Gu Yuzhi really didn't know how two men could act like a married couple. Let alone getting married, even how to get together was a problem.

Chi Xing propped himself up to face Gu Yuzhi. When they looked at each other, Gu Yuzhi could clearly see the emotions surging in Chi Xing's eyes.

"I've heard a saying that love knows no gender. Ayu, would you mind that I'm a man?"

Chi Xing asked earnestly, and Gu Yuzhi answered earnestly in return:

No, I like you too.

Gu Yuzhi had never considered expressing her deep-seated love.

Having realized his feelings for Akahoshi, he resolved not to reveal a word of it to anyone, not even Akahoshi.

He was a selfish person and worried that if he told Akahoshi, Akahoshi would distance herself from him.

Another reason was the fear of being discovered, which would implicate Akahoshi and her grandmother.

However, things now seem to be deviating from the direction he had envisioned.

Even he himself didn't realize that he had been following Akahoshi's rhythm all along.

Their eyes met, and Akahoshi lowered her head, their noses touching, and finally their lips met.

Like a beautiful firework bursting in the sky, Gu Yuzhi's brain stopped working, and he was completely stunned.

Before she could react, her jaw was pried open, and Akahoshi deepened the kiss.

Gu Yuzhi closed his eyes and felt it; this was an experience he had never had before.

Their five senses seemed to be amplified several times over, and their breaths became increasingly intense as they intertwined.

Gu Yuzhi's body went limp from the kiss, and he instinctively tried to turn over and switch places with Chi Xing.

However, the rhythmic movements of Akahoshi's hands suddenly quickened, and Gu Yuzhi slumped down again.

"Ayu, Brother Yu... please have pity on me, I beg you..."

Chi Xing's voice was deeper and more pleasant than it had been a month ago, now tinged with a hint of hoarseness, making Gu Yuzhi's heart tremble.

In the end, Gu Yuzhi couldn't resist Chi Xing's coaxing and willingly called him "husband" a few times.

Chi Xing coaxed and cajoled Gu Yuzhi in a low voice, and the two explored the "new world and new knowledge" together, seemingly understanding but not quite.

In the middle of the night, Akahoshi went out to fetch some warm water.

After they had both cleaned up, they fell asleep in each other's arms.

After the autumn harvest, there's not much to do. Usually, every household has to chop firewood to prepare for winter.

Winters in the north are extremely cold, and it snows. Without charcoal fires, it's impossible to get through the winter.

At this time of year, Gu Yuzhi would always get up early to go up the mountain to chop firewood.

But today, even though the sun is shining in the courtyard, Gu Yuzhi still hasn't come out of the house.

Chixing knew he had gone a bit too far, but what could he do when Ayu called his name? He couldn't control himself when he heard Ayu call his name.

In addition, he has been exercising well these days, and being in his prime, he has plenty of energy that he doesn't know where to use.

We stayed up a bit late last night, so I guess I'll have to be more careful next time.

When Gu Yuzhi woke up, it was almost lunchtime.

He glared at Akahoshi, who came in carrying a basin.

What a pitiful little educated youth! He was like a cow last night, but I don't see why he deserves to be pitied.

Akahoshi put the water aside for him to wash up, smiling as if she had found money.

"Lunch is ready, don't be angry, Brother Yu."

Gu Yuzhi ignored him and got out of bed to wash up by herself.

He could ignore the slight discomfort, but the thought of being attacked by Akahoshi last night...

He was taken aback for a moment, but now, seeing Akahoshi busy taking care of him, he felt a sweet warmth in his heart.

"Who's angry? Eat your food." Gu Yuzhi pushed the steamed egg custard towards Chi Xing.

Chi Xing only took one bite, and gave the rest to Gu Yuzhi.

"This was made especially for you, Ayu, eat more."

Gu Yuzhi lowered his head to eat, and suddenly realized that they seemed to be living married life ahead of time.

However, two men probably can't get married. Gu Yuzhi is certain that he won't change his mind, but he doesn't know if Chixing will in the future.

Gu Yu was distracted. Chi Xing served him some food and took a bite himself.

Not bad, his cooking skills are still very good.

Grandma left early today, saying that Granny Lin at the village entrance asked her to help make knots, and she would have lunch there as well.

Gu Yuzhi learned about this last night. Granny Lin and her grandmother were best friends since childhood. They married into the same village and often visited each other.

After the meal, Gu Yuzhi prepared to go up the mountain to chop firewood, and Chixing naturally followed.

He plans to hunt some more game, whether to eat it or sell it.

Gu Yuzhi and Chi Xing went to the snare he had set earlier and saw that a grayish-brown wild rabbit had already been caught in it.

The wild rabbits had eaten their fill throughout the autumn and were quite plump.

Gu Yuzhi was very happy, picked it up and weighed it in his hand: "I'll take it back and have it as an extra dish for dinner tonight."

As we continued forward, the howls of wild beasts echoed from a hunting pit.

The hunting pit was dug by Gu Yuzhi himself, and he had never caught any wild animals there.

Upon hearing the sound, Gu Yuzhi's eyes lit up.

"Could something have fallen down?"

Akahoshi looked completely innocent: "I don't know, you'll find out when you go and see."

The two walked to the edge of the pit and saw a large black bear fighting with an adult wild boar that was even larger than the bear.

The wild boar, its tusks gleaming coldly, attacked the black bear, but the bear's large paws blinded the boar in one eye.

Upon seeing the two frenzied beasts, Gu Yuzhi tried to pull Chixing down the mountain.

When this thing goes berserk, it doesn't care who you are; it wouldn't be good if it accidentally hurt a star.

Akahoshi stopped in his tracks: "Wait, they haven't noticed us."

"You go down the mountain first, and I'll decide what to do later."

Gu Yuzhi didn't want to miss this opportunity. If he could sell both wild animals, even if they were dead, he could still make a lot of money.

"No, I can help you."

Chixing didn't leave; he didn't want Ayu to get hurt.

"Okay, then you stay away and we'll see. Maybe we won't need to fight."
