Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

"This is... a ring?"

Her heart pounded wildly as Liang Yucheng stared blankly at the ring.

Chi Xing reached out, took out the ring, threaded it onto a platinum necklace, and walked behind Liang Yuchen.

His hot chest pressed lightly against Liang Yuchen's back; he was already much taller than Liang Yuchen, so it looked as if he was embracing him.

As the blush spread from the ears of the person in his arms to their neck, Chi Xing's eyes gradually darkened, and he slowly and deliberately placed the ring and necklace around Liang Yuchen's neck.

A warm breath brushed against Liang Yuchen's flushed left ear. Chixing pressed against his ear, her soft lips brushing against it intentionally or unintentionally, and whispered:

"Yes, my Ayu, you've come of age."

These words made Liang Yucheng's already racing heartbeat even more chaotic, his mind a complete mess, and he finally managed to find his voice.

"Star, star, you..."

Liang Yuchen grasped the ring in his hand, and Chi Xing gently grasped the hand that held the ring in his.

"Ayu, I like you. Would you like to go out with me?"

With a loud bang, Liang Yucheng felt as if his brain had exploded, rendering him unable to think.

The phrase "I like you" kept repeating in my mind.

Until he heard himself say, "I... I like you too."

After saying that, his whole body was burning hot, and he didn't dare to look up at Akahoshi, feeling ashamed.

There was no other way; for the first eighteen years of his life, all he did was try to survive and devote himself to his studies.

In his view, dating is something very, very far removed from his life.

Later, I liked Akahoshi, but it was just a thought in my heart. I never thought I would be able to say it out loud so soon.

Even as he spoke, he didn't have the courage to look up and meet Akahoshi's gaze.

"Then shall we date?" Akahoshi lowered her head, trying to see his expression clearly.

Liang Yuchen turned around, took the initiative to hug his waist, and buried her face in his shoulder, refusing to come out.

Chi Xing couldn't help but chuckle softly, and Liang Yuchen gently pinched the soft flesh on his waist.

He said in a muffled voice, "I... I'm willing to date you, Star."

Chi Xing's grin widened, revealing her clean, white teeth, and she held Liang Yuchen tightly with both hands.

"Then Ayu will be my boyfriend from now on. After graduation, shall we go abroad and get married?"

Being a boyfriend wasn't enough; Akahoshi wanted more.

Liang Yucheng nodded again: "Okay, but you can't change your mind."

This time, he finally raised his head and met Akahoshi's gaze, and said seriously:

"You're not allowed to change your mind. I'm a guy. If you're with me, we won't have any children, people will gossip about us, and our relatives and friends might object."

"Star, I'll give you one more chance. It's not too late to take back what you just said. If, if you change your mind in the future, I'll take you down with me even if I die."

When the topic of death came up, a flash of ruthlessness appeared in Liang Yucheng's eyes. Chi Xing had no doubt that if she had really done something to betray him, she would probably die a terrible death.

"I swear, my heart will never change, I will only ever love you, and if you die, I will follow you..."

Liang Yucheng covered Chixing's mouth with her hand, preventing her from continuing.

Liang Yucheng glared at him with her wet eyes: "Even if I die, you must live well."

Then he whispered, "I'll be waiting for you down there, until you die peacefully in your old age."

"Fool."

Chixing whispered that he was stupid, then hugged him tightly, their hot bodies pressed together.

Liang Yucheng didn't think he was stupid. After careful consideration, he wondered when Chixing, who had initially disliked him, and Chixing's current behavior began.

It started after Chixing beat up Qiu Yi and his group that he suddenly became close to them, helping them and finding doctors to treat his father...

Liang Yucheng couldn't think of anything he could give Chixing; on the contrary, all his good fortune was due to Chixing's appearance.

So, what could be the reason that a rich young master who lacks nothing would suddenly treat him so well?

In fact, Liang Yucheng already had an extremely absurd guess in his heart, a guess that he dared not tell anyone, let alone ask Xingxing.

He was afraid, afraid that it was all just a dream, afraid that if he spoke out, the stars in front of him would disappear.

He hugged her tighter and asked softly:

"Star, you'll always be here, won't you?"

Chixing answered without hesitation, "I will always be by your side, and I will be with you every moment from now on. Don't find me annoying, Ayu."

The two stood together for a while before Akahoshi led him to his room to wash up.

The night was quiet, with only a nightlight on in the room.

Liang Yucheng tossed and turned, unable to sleep; he was with Xingxing.

They're already together, so should I go and sleep with him?

She rolled out of bed, about to grab her pillow and head out the door, when there was a sudden knock on the door. Liang Yucheng's eyes lit up.

Liang Yucheng put the pillow back in her hand, raised her hand to rub her eyes, and then ruffled her hair, looking sleepy.

As I walked to the door and opened it, a tall figure stood there. Tonight, Akahoshi was wearing black pajamas and looked nothing like her usual cute self, as if she had grown up overnight.

Or perhaps, they'll stop pretending altogether.

Liang Yucheng looked at him innocently: "Xingxing, is something the matter?"

"Was Ayu asleep just now?"

Liang Yucheng nodded: "Yes, that's right. The room is too quiet, and I'm not used to it."

Akahoshi stared at the person who was still clumsy at lying, smiled silently, and said, "Me too, so can I squeeze in with you?"

"If you don't mind."

Liang Yuchen stepped back and opened the door to let Chixing in.

My mind was a mess. I mechanically walked to the bedside, pulled back the covers, and lay down.

Chi Xing rolled onto the bed, stretched out his long arm and pulled Liang Yuchen into his arms, letting out a comfortable sigh.

He thought to himself, "It's still more comfortable to hold my wife."

Liang Yuchen stirred in his arms, the scent of Chi Xing's shower gel filling her nostrils—the same one she used.

It was already quite late. Akahoshi reached out and patted his back softly, saying, "Go to sleep, goodnight."

Liang Yucheng whispered, "Goodnight, Xingxing."

Inside the luxurious villa, a woman's wails could be heard from one of the rooms.

The man's voice was filled with overwhelming hatred: "Tell me, what exactly are you?"

"Or perhaps, you used some means to make me become like that?"

The cold tip of the knife pierced the woman's face, and blood instantly gushed from her flawless white chin, mingling with her rolling tears as they dripped onto the electric chair beneath her.

Lu Xiao trembled all over, choking back tears: "I...I don't know what you're talking about, Jing Chen, what's wrong with you? Don't you recognize me? I'm Xiao Xiao."

As soon as she finished speaking, a loud "slap" resounded as a large palm slapped her hard across her delicate face.

Huo Jingchen looked like a demon from hell, his face extremely ugly, and his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Ok?"

His large, bony hand gripped her bleeding chin tightly, his teeth clenched.

"You bitch, do you think I have no way to stop you from talking?"

Release the button, press it, and a buzzing sound of electricity fills the room.
