Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Another suction force appeared, and Chi Xing's soul was sucked into Si Ningyu's body in the blink of an eye.

The next second, I indeed felt weakness and pain in my body.

Akahoshi breathed a sigh of relief; finally, Ayu wouldn't have to suffer anymore.

Even if it's just physical pain, Akahoshi wouldn't bear to let Ayu suffer even a little bit, let alone get injured.

He slowly opened his eyes. It was already noon. He had fainted and could not be moved, so he could only lie in the infirmary.

Xiao Qi went to the school gate to pick up the lunch that his family had delivered, while Si Youning sat by the bed with Si Ningyu.

Chi Xing opened her eyes, and Si Youning immediately brought her a glass of warm water, saying softly:

"Brother, have some water."

Chi Xing took a sip of water but didn't speak. Si Youning didn't wait for him to speak either and continued:

"I only have two classes today, no classes in the afternoon. I'll go home after lunch."

Akahoshi nodded and simply replied, "Mm."

After dinner, Chi Xing felt better and didn't want to put any more strain on A Yu's body, so he obediently followed Si Youning home.

When the vehicle arrived at the villa's gate, Gu Xu'an walked over, carrying a flowerpot containing several sunflower seedlings.

Chi Xing and Si Youning got out of the car, and Gu Xu'an walked over.

“You Ning”.

Si Youning sighed softly, still tilting her head slightly to look at his face.

The other person still had a gentle smile on their face, which made Si Youning feel a little sad. Was this person stupid? How could she not be driven away by scolding?

"what?"

He still couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh; he could only use a cold tone to discourage people from leaving.

"I heard the sunflowers in your garden have wilted, so I'm bringing you some."

The sunflower seedlings in the flowerpot looked vibrant, and Akahoshi couldn't help but take a second look.

The two men took in their gazes, and Si Youning took two steps forward to accept the flower seedlings.

"Thank you, I'll transfer the money to you later."

Gu Xu'an shook his head; what he wanted wasn't money.

"No need for a transfer, I want a painting. Can you paint one for me?"

Si Youning grew up with Si Ningyu since he was a child. His older brother liked to draw, and so did he.

However, his painting style is different from Si Ningyu's. His colors are brighter and softer, and his tone is warmer. He is best at painting figures.

Si Ningyu's painting style has been abstract since childhood, with strong visual impact from color matching. His color tones are free and sometimes bold and flamboyant, and sometimes cold and dark. He prefers to paint landscapes.

Without hesitation, Si Youning agreed:

"Okay, what kind of painting do you want? Do you have specific pictures or requirements?"

When people hire someone to paint, it's usually for landscapes. He's good at painting portraits, but that doesn't mean he can't paint landscapes.

"I don't have a picture, I want you to draw me."

"Ok?"

Si Youning was slightly taken aback. Draw him?

"Send me the photo..."

"Not a photograph, I'll be your model, and you'll paint me."

Gu Xu'an took two steps forward and approached him, earnestly and sincerely saying, "Is it not allowed? I have planted a lot of flowers over there, your brother would probably like them."

The Gu family's florists are very skilled; they can cultivate unique flowers. Si Ningyu loves flowers and often buys them from them.

Akahoshi listened to their conversation; the largest garden in his house was right under the floor-to-ceiling window of his room.

Sure enough, when it was mentioned that it was something her brother liked, Si Youning agreed without hesitation.

They didn't even see Gu Xu'an secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Then I'll have the gardener bring some other flowers to your house tomorrow; they're all in full bloom."

"Okay, please."

Actually, his paintings might not be worth that much money. Some of the flowers in the Gu family are very rare, and their prices are definitely more than that.

Si Youning was thinking about how to repay the debt. He wanted to keep his distance from Gu Xu'an and couldn't afford to owe him anything.

Perhaps sensing what he was thinking, Gu Xu'an smiled and said:

"No need to pay, just paint a few more for me, I want large ones."

He mainly wanted to collect them; they were painted by his wife, and he would like them no matter how many there were.

It is often said that one cannot simultaneously possess youth and the feeling of youth.

Gu Xu'an wanted paintings that You Ning had created when she was young, which must have been works full of vitality and life.

"Okay, then come over tomorrow morning. I don't have class tomorrow."

Having agreed on a time, Si Youning carried the potted plant and entered the room with Chixing.

"Brother, do you like this flower? It might grow into sunflowers someday."

His eyes were bright and sparkling, and his smile was just like that of a smiling angel, a Samoyed.

Akahoshi found it a bit funny. Why was Ayu's younger brother so dog-like? No wonder Ayu was nice to him when they were little. She probably liked cute kids.

A scene flashed through my mind: a handsome young boy drawing a sunflower on a piece of paper, then hugging an even smaller boy and whispering:

"Little brother, this is a sunflower. If we find sunflower seeds in the future, we can grow sunflowers like this."

The little boy reached out and hugged his older brother, smiling sweetly: "When Youyou grows up, I'll find sunflower seeds for my brother."

"Ah."

"Brother, you can't not like it then," the little boy pleaded.

The little boy patted his head and said seriously, "No, I don't."

Akahoshi's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a lump in her throat, perhaps because Ayu's subconscious had remembered this incident.

Akahoshi nodded: "I like it. If I plant it in the garden, I can see it every morning when I get up."

Si Youning's smile widened: "Okay, I'll put it over there right away."

Both my parents went to work at the company, which they manage together. Perhaps because they were afraid of being poor in the past, they are both workaholics.

Going upstairs alone, Chi Xing first changed into some home clothes. She glanced out the window and saw Si Youning directing the gardener in the garden downstairs.

As far as I can remember, the flowers in this garden were in full bloom almost every day.

I never saw any withered branches or rotten leaves, or any flowers that showed signs of wilting. The gardener would take care of them and never let Si Ningyu see them.

The more Akahoshi thought about these things, the more he regretted his initial judgment.

Whether it was the anomaly in the walk-in closet, the room's decor, or the parents' eerie harmony, Si Youning's gaze remained fixed on him.

There wasn't a single piece of metal in the walk-in closet, yet all I could think of were unsightly things.

Chixing curled up in bed, thankful that her arrogance hadn't caused Ayu to get hurt.

If they had thought the whole family was evil, they could have simply moved out with Ayu.

Akahoshi dared not imagine what extreme things Ayu might do after waking up, like what happened in the original story...

Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

After returning home, Gu Xu'an went into the room he had prepared to store oil paintings. He liked the paintings that You Ning had painted for him.

Si Youning is relatively happy now, unlike in the dream, where she lived in self-blame and pain all day long.

Looking back a month ago, Gu Xu'an had an absurd dream.

In the dream, Si Ningyu fell to her death, dying in front of Si Youning.

When he went over, Si Youning was about to pick up his brother when his hand touched him and the body shattered, leaving a bloody mess on the ground.

Gu Xu'an sensed his pain and breakdown, and accompanied him to bury Si Ningyu.
