Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Akahoshi said sarcastically, "People ask you about breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. You can't just not reply; that would be very impolite."

Liang Yucheng inexplicably understood what he wanted, and said in a serious tone:

"After the group assignment is finished, I'll delete him from my contacts. From now on, let's just ignore him when he talks in the group, okay?"

Noticing that Akahoshi's expression had improved, Liang Yuchen took the opportunity to pull him up and walk to the other side of the big tree, where they sat down in a spot where they couldn't see the girl.

He opened a bottle of water and handed it to Akahoshi, saying, "Star, drink some water."

Akahoshi sneered: "Not calling me 'brother' anymore?"

Liang Yucheng had only tentatively uttered the word "star" and, observing that the red star showed no signs of life, became much bolder.

“I’m half a year older than you, so you should call me brother.”

Liang Yucheng's birthday is on the fifth day of the first lunar month, which has already passed, while Chi Xing's birthday is on the twenty-sixth day of the ninth lunar month, which is just a few days away.

When Liang Yucheng said those words, he felt uneasy. He had actually wanted to call Chixing that for a long time, but he was too afraid to do so, fearing that Chixing would get angry.

To everyone's surprise, a smile appeared on Chi Xing's face. In the dappled sunlight, the smile was particularly refreshing, which made Liang Yuchen a little stunned.

"Then should I call you Brother Yu?"

As Chi Xing called out "Brother Yu" in a deep voice, Liang Yuchen felt her heart pounding in her chest, and a voice kept repeating in her mind: Hold him tight, hug him...

With a soft snort, Akahoshi turned her face away: "I won't call you that."

This haughty little look of his is just like a proud little prince, and Liang Yucheng couldn't help but chuckle:

"Okay, let Xingxing shout whatever she wants."

Chi Xing smiled and whispered in Liang Yuchen's ear, "You said it yourself, so you can't go back on your word later."

"No regrets."

Liang Yucheng was prepared for him to call her puppy; it wasn't a big deal, after all, puppies were so cute.

Just as the two had resolved their conflict, a person walked towards them and grinned broadly upon seeing Liang Yucheng.

Duanmu Yuan was holding two bottles of water, one of which was unopened. He strode over, seemingly ignoring Chi Xing, and spoke directly to Liang Yuchen:

"Xiao Chen, you're here. Perfect timing, let's talk about homework. Here's some water."

He handed the water to Liang Yucheng.

Liang Yucheng sensed the oppressive atmosphere around her and quickly refused:

"No need, I have my own water. I've already written the homework details in the PPT. If you have any questions, you can ask Zhong Cheng. He also participated in making the PPT."

Before Duanmu Yuan could say anything more, Liang Yuchen pulled Chixing up and said, "We have something to do, so we'll be leaving now."

The two left quickly, leaving Duanmu Yuan still holding the water he had handed out.

Zhong Cheng appeared out of nowhere, took the bottle of water, opened it, and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

"Oh, I'm thirsty. Duanmu, if you have any questions about your homework, feel free to ask me. Thank you for the water."

Duanmu Yuan gritted his teeth and stared at this person who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. After taking a closer look, he realized that Zhong Cheng was indeed good-looking. It was a pity that they had the same account number; otherwise, it wouldn't be a bad idea to play around with him.

"You're welcome. I'll go back and take another look."

Watching his retreating figure, Zhong Cheng sneered, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. Is that all? Trying to steal Xing-ge's girl?

"You're talking to him again!"

Halfway there, Chi Xing broke free from Liang Yuchen's hand and walked towards another tree, her back view showing her exasperated state.

Liang Yucheng couldn't help but laugh and hurriedly chased after him to explain:

"That was me rejecting him."

"You just promised not to say a word to him."

Liang Yuchen caught up with him and looked at him from in front of him, but Chi Xing turned his head away again and refused to meet his gaze.

"I was wrong. Next time, can I just not answer him at all?"

Seeing that he still didn't speak, Liang Yucheng reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes gently:

"Don't be angry, I promise there really won't be a next time."

Akahoshi was ultimately no match for her. There was nothing he could do; Ayu's actions were too adorable, and her soft voice was soothing. Akahoshi felt his heart melting.

"Alright, I'll forgive you this time. Ah Yu, let me tell you, he and Fu Yuanxiao are good friends. You should know who Fu Yuanxiao is."

Liang Yuchen paused, her eyes widening, and instinctively tightened her grip on Chi Xing's hand: "Fu Yuanxiao?"

Akahoshi grasped his trembling hand and explained, "Don't be afraid, he's not here, and besides, I'm here. No one can bully you."

He was somewhat annoyed that he had mentioned Fu Yuanxiao's name in order to keep Liang Yucheng away from Duanmu Yuan.

Liang Yucheng was terrified of the person who led the bullying against her; she couldn't help but feel scared just hearing his name.

“He dropped out of school and couldn’t take the college entrance exam. You will be better than him in the future. Don’t be afraid, Ayu, with me here.”

On the way back, Akahoshi continued to comfort him.

When Liang Yucheng returned to the dormitory that evening, she saw Duanmu Yuan come back and immediately went to Chixing's side.

Duanmu Yuan greeted him with a smile, but Liang Yuchen ignored him and quickly ran away.

What kind of good people can associate with Fu Yuanxiao?

Liang Yucheng didn't want to be bullied again, so he wanted to stay far away from these people.

The presence of Duanmu Yuan seemed to constantly remind Liang Yuchen that he had to work hard and stay away from these people.

The weekend was the day Liang Qinghe was discharged from the hospital, and Liang Yucheng and Chixing went to pick him up together.

During her hospital stay, several people impersonating doctors and nurses tried to enter the ward, but they were all stopped by the bodyguards arranged by Akahoshi.

One of the nurses was spotted on the spot by Liang Qinghe's attending physician, who found a vial of poison on her, presumably intended to be injected into Liang Qinghe's IV drip.

Liang Qinghe looked unwell at the time, but fortunately nothing serious happened in the end. It was also thanks to the quick thinking of the bodyguards who notified the doctor as soon as they saw the unfamiliar nurse.

After being discharged from the hospital, he would need to recuperate for several years, so Akahoshi asked the caregiver to come home with him to take care of him.

They both need to go to school, and there can't be no one else at home to look after them.

The caregiver happened to be from the same county as Liang Qinghe, and came to City A to work hard. However, this young man was owed wages by the construction site and almost had to live under a bridge.

A kind person told him that if he was strong enough to take care of people, he could do housework, and nowadays housework can at least fill his stomach.

The young man, named Yang Shuntian, was 25 or 26 years old. He was 1.9 meters tall, broad-shouldered and strong, with dark skin that did not detract from his striking features, giving him a kind of rugged handsomeness.

He came to apply for a caregiver job. His Mandarin was mixed with dialect, which Liang Qinghe recognized as being from his hometown. After a few days of trial work, he was officially hired.

With someone by his side to take care of his father, Liang Yucheng wasn't unhappy to hear them speaking their hometown dialect; he was simply happy for his father.

Finally, there's someone who cares about his hometown. He knows that his father really misses his hometown, but he doesn't know why his father doesn't go back.

On the day of his discharge, Yang Shuntian placed a charcoal brazier at the door and made everyone step over it to ward off bad luck, while muttering incantations.
