Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Some felt that Chi Xing, having pursued Xiao Huai, was not worthy of Qin Yuzhou.

Xiao Huai recalled that Chi Xing had once pursued him, but back then Chi Xing hadn't personally done anything.

He also remembered that the flowers Akahoshi sent were not what he liked at all, and the gifts he sent were cheap.

As for cooking by himself, he never did it even once.

So what does Akahoshi mean by this? Is she choosing to humiliate him in this way because she can't have him?

Xiao Huai laughed in exasperation. As expected of a simp, even the way he tried to get his attention was so old-fashioned.

Chi Ning scoffed when she saw that Chi Xing had made the cake for General Qin Yuzhou:

"He actually cooked for a female insect that doesn't lay eggs. Ha, he's really disgraced the male insects. What future can this kind of insect have? He'll just be a pet kept at home by the female insects."

These words were meant to belittle the female insects, but Xiao Huai didn't find anything wrong with them. He simply liked domineering male insects like Chi Ning.

Thinking that Qin Yuzhou could no longer lay eggs, Xiao Huai's mood improved considerably.

The Qin family reeks of money; how could they possibly compare to the Xiao family? These scoundrels actually like Qin Yuzhou and even gave him the title of First General.

Xiao Huai didn't think he was lacking in anything, and he could even lay eggs and reproduce for his male master. What right did Qin Yuzhou, an incomplete female insect, have?

In Xiao Huai's view, a female insect that cannot lay eggs is incomplete and should be despised by all insects. But Qin Yuzhou was not like that; he was even highly praised.

Xiao Huai gradually grew to dislike him. He initially thought Chi Xing was a good-for-nothing and intentionally or unintentionally asked Chi Ning to find a way to marry Chi Xing off to Qin Yuzhou.

In this way, Qin Yuzhou would not have a powerful ruler. As for himself, he was a barren man, and Xiao Huai did not consider him a threat at all.

Perhaps, Akahoshi can help him in a crucial moment.

Seeing the sweetness between the two insects in the post, Xiao Huai thought that he should still go and see Chi Xing, lest he be seduced by a female insect that doesn't lay eggs.

If Chixing falls for Qin Yuzhou, how will she help me then?

Xiao Huai didn't tell Chi Ning about this, lest he forbid Chi Ning from seeing Chi Xing.

He avoided Chi Ning's gaze and sent a message to Chi Xing:

[Brother Xing, I never knew you could bake cakes! I've never had one before.]

Akahoshi, who was lying on the sofa, was surprised that Xiao Huai would send her a message.

The original note "Xiao Huai Baby" had long been changed by Chi Xing to "Substitute Number One". As for why it was changed this way, you'd have to ask the original owner.

The original owner, Chi Xing, was crying in the System Bureau's restroom. He admitted that he had never seriously pursued Xiao Huai, but Xiao Huai had never refused his gifts. How could he have known that Xiao Huai was actually a bad guy?

Besides, he couldn't understand those classified documents anyway, and he never expected to harm Qin Yuzhou. He knew he was wrong, but he never expected to be forced to clean toilets, sob sob.

Chixing replied to Xiao Huai: 【Oh, naturally only my female lord can eat the cake I make.】

Substitute Number One: [That Star Brother's empress is so lucky.]

Akahoshi: [So? You regret getting engaged to my brother?]

Stand-in Number One: [Actually... there's a reason for all this...]

Xiao Huai started saying things that misled the insects again. It was this ambiguous reply that made Chi Xing unconsciously think that Xiao Huai really had some kind of trouble.

The original owner was led by the nose by him and eventually became his stepping stone.

Akahoshi: [Oh, what's the reason? So you don't like Aka-Lemon at all, is that right?]

Stand-in #1: [Brother Xing, how about we talk in person? He's right next to me...]

Akahoshi didn't reply further. Instead, she took a screenshot of the chat and posted it online, directly tagging Akahoshi with the caption:

'Can't you control your female insect? She's right next to you, calling me to come out and meet her. Anyone who didn't know better would think I'm having an affair with her.'

As soon as he finished posting, Akahoshi felt a gaze fixed on him from behind, making his back feel a little cold.

250: [It's a Celestial Lord. There are surveillance cameras everywhere here. Your conversation with Xiao Huai was seen.]

Chixing remained unfazed: [That's Ayu! I knew he was watching me all along, otherwise why would I post an update?]

We should try to clear up this misunderstanding. If we can't clear it up, then we should create a misunderstanding that is as close to the truth as possible.

Sure enough, the comment that Akahoshi wanted appeared very quickly.

[Who is this female insect? Stand Number One? What Stand? Whose Stand?]

This message was sent to Chi Ning. The person next to Chi Ning is either Chi Ning's female ruler or female servant.

It is known that Chi Ning is Chi Xing's younger brother, and there has never been any news of either brother marrying a female servant. Furthermore, Chi Ning and General Xiao got engaged a few days ago. Therefore, this stand-in number one is clearly...

The other insects dared not respond to this, for that was General Xiao Huai. Although he dared not kill insects everywhere, he could still just enjoy the show.

I mainly want to see Chi Ning's reaction.

Inside the Chi family's ancestral home, a loud "slap!" resounded as a hand struck Xiao Huai hard across the face.

"You filthy worm! You're already thinking about seeing him right after getting engaged to me? Didn't you say you looked down on him? You had your reasons for being with me, what are your reasons?"

Xiao Huai covered half of his cheek and suddenly became speechless: "I, I didn't..."

Chi Ning raised her hand and slapped him across the other side of his face.

This was a male insect. Xiao Huai dared not retaliate, but he was also very angry. Just as he was about to stand up and leave, a voice came from upstairs:

"Oh dear, Xiao Ning, how could you hit General Xiao Huai?"

Seeing that it was her father who came down, Chi Ning felt even more aggrieved: "Father, Chi Xing and Xiao Huai are already engaged to me, how dare he still look for Chi Xing?"

Chifeng frowned: "What? You can't hit him then. There's no tradition of domestic violence in our family."

As he spoke, he said to Xiao Huai in a seemingly gentle tone, "Xiao Ning has been spoiled by us since he was little. I apologize to you on his behalf."

Since the head of the family, Chifeng, had apologized to him, Xiao Huai, who already considered male insects superior to him, had no reason not to forgive him.

He looked at Chi Ning and said, "Ning Ning, let me explain. I was just testing him. I wasn't really going to meet him. You know how much I hate him."

……

Akahoshi hadn't slept well last night, and lying on the comfortable sofa, she fell asleep without realizing it.

Until someone picked up my hand, I felt a cool sensation on the burned part of my fingers.

Why didn't you apply medicine to your injury?

Qin Yuzhou held Chi Xing's hand and looked at it. Several blisters were on Chi Xing's index finger, clearly indicating that he had been burned while cooking.

Chi Xing slightly opened her eyes, then closed them again, and casually hugged Qin Yuzhou, who was sitting next to her, around the waist, whispering:

"You suddenly got angry, and I'm not happy."

Qin Yuzhou paused in applying the medicine, his hand holding the cotton swab clenching tightly.
