Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Si Youning's fingers curled up slightly; he wanted to pull his hand back, but it remained still.

Sometimes he really wanted to go crazy, to leave with Gu Xu'an without a care in the world, and go to a place where there were no parents.

What I can't let go of is never my parents, much less the property.

What he always wanted was his brother's health, and also, Gu Xu'an.

He had known for a long time that life was mostly imperfect, and once his brother recovered, he couldn't be greedy and drag Gu Xu'an down with him.

At this moment, however, he couldn't bear to let go of Gu Xu'an's hand.

Struggling internally, with reason and instinct constantly battling, he and Gu Xu'an stared at each other for a long time, neither of them looking away.

Gu Xu'an confessed his feelings once again:

"Youning, I've liked you for a long time and I don't plan to give up. Whether you accept me or not, I will be with you."

Si Youning dared not move, afraid that he would lose control.

She was attracted by Gu Xu'an's smile since she was a child, and as she grew up, she wanted to possess that smile herself.

Si Youning sometimes laughs at himself for being greedy, until one day, Gu Xu'an confesses his feelings to him, and he realizes that Gu Xu'an also likes him.

He wondered countless times if things hadn't been like this at home, would he have been with Gu Xu'an long ago?

Right now, all he has to do is take one step forward, just one step, and he will have the happiness he has always dreamed of.

"But, your home..."

"You're not my parents, how do you know they disagree? You're not me, how do you know I can't share your parents' anger?"

Gu Xu'an's voice was no longer as clear as before. He pried Si Youning's fingers apart, insisting on interlocking them tightly.

"You're not me, so what right do you have to make decisions for me? Si Youning, do you think you're some kind of savior? What business is it of my whether I can bear the consequences of being with you?"

You like me, and I like you, that's enough. It's your life, you can do what you want, and being together isn't illegal.

Si Youning was surprised by his actions, her gaze falling on their tightly clasped hands.

When we were little, my older brother said, "Everyone has their own life. You are yourself, not your brother's blood bag. You don't need to listen to Mom and Dad."

But after listening to his parents so much over the years, he didn't realize that he was already willing to give everything for his brother.

"Your life is your own."

These words made Si Youning ponder. Perhaps he should make a choice for himself?

Gu Xu'an noticed his hesitation, and with a forceful pull, drew him into her arms.

He had wanted to do this for a long time.

Because he liked her so much, he couldn't bear to do anything that Si Youning wouldn't be happy about.

Smelling the floral fragrance that Si Youning had picked up at some point, Gu Xu'an said:

"Youning, how about we try dating? I know what you're worried about. Let's face it together, okay?"

Si Youning felt the warmth of his embrace and buried her head in his chest. They smelled the same flowers and had the same rapid heartbeats.

With a determined heart, Si Youning looked up and kissed him on the chin, gritting her teeth:

"Okay, let's give it a try."

Gu Xu'an was incredulous, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"You can't go back on your word."

"No regrets."

[Your Highness, they really are together.] 250 reports.

Chi Xing wrung out a towel and gently wiped away the tears on Si Ningyu's face.

When I touched his hand, I noticed that he had some more wounds on it.

This injury was more serious than the last one. Akahoshi lowered his head, blew on it, and did not blame him.

Si Ningyu shrank her fingers and explained softly, "If you don't come back, I... I thought you hated me too."

When emotions are suppressed and unbearable, only physical pain can alleviate that suffering.

He looked up at Akahoshi, his hands trembling uncontrollably: "I won't do this again next time, please don't hate me."

Chi Xing knelt on one knee, almost wrapping his arms around Si Ningyu who was sitting in the chair, and gently kissed his fingers.

The warm, soft touch made Si Ningyu's heart tremble, and Chi Xing's gaze was devout:

"I will only love you, and I will never hate you."

He tirelessly expressed his love and affection, repeatedly emphasizing that he did not dislike Si Ningyu.

As long as his Ayu isn't sad.

"sorry."

Si Ningyu spoke softly, and Chi Xing, like a perfect lover, could guess the unspoken thoughts in his heart.

“Ayu didn’t do anything wrong to me. You just felt insecure. It was because I didn’t do enough and didn’t say enough that you felt uneasy and made you uncertain about my love for you time and time again.”

“No, you are the best person.” Si Ningyu pulled him up.

Chi Xing carried him to the bed. Si Ningyu had already exhausted all his strength after running downstairs and crying for so long.

Akahoshi lightly kissed his forehead and said, "I'll go get you some water. I'll stay with you."

Si Ningyu nodded, her gaze still following him.

Akahoshi didn't deliberately hide. She went to the water bar area and filled a glass with warm water mixed with a clear healing potion.

He didn't add it all at once, because he was worried that Ayu's body would feel uncomfortable during the healing process. Even the slightest discomfort was too much for Akahoshi to bear.

After finishing a glass of water, Si Ningyu tugged at Chi Xing's sleeve, clearly not wanting him to leave.

Who would want to leave when they can sleep with their wife in their arms?

Without saying a word, Akahoshi lay down. He figured he could just change the sheets and blankets later, or if all else failed, he could take Ayu home.

Those parents were bad; they made Ayu sick, and Akahoshi didn't like them.

He turned sideways and pulled the frail body into his arms, gently coaxing him to sleep.

After Si Ningyu fell asleep, Chi Xing picked up her phone and sent a message to Si Youning.

He explained that he was aware of Si Ningyu's situation and had consulted with a psychologist. He had made an appointment with Iris, a renowned psychology professor from abroad, and Si Ningyu would soon receive treatment.

She also explained her relationship with Si Ningyu, stating that she would not separate from him and that if anyone tried to stop her, Chixing would take him away.

Staying here will only make Ayu's illness worse, and Akahoshi had already planned to take him away.

Si Youning remained silent for a while before agreeing to Chi Xing's request, but on the condition that he stay with his brother.

Chixing agreed. Si Youning was someone Ayu valued highly, and Chixing wouldn't make things difficult for him as long as it wasn't detrimental to Ayu's condition.

There was a knock at the door, and Chi Xing covered Si Ningyu's ears.

The outer door opened, and the footsteps were very light; it must be someone delivering lunch.

Chi Xing returned with lunch, and Si Ningyu woke up quickly after he got up.

He sat up and looked around for Akahoshi. He was relieved when he finally saw her.

"I'll go get lunch. Ah Yu, eat before you go to sleep."

The two ate lunch quietly. For some reason, Si Ningyu didn't feel any discomfort in her stomach and ate a few more bites than usual.

He put down his chopsticks, and Akahoshi fed him a few more bites of shrimp and steamed egg until he was sure he was full.

Chixing didn't go anywhere in the afternoon; she stayed in the room with Si Ningyu, and this time Si Ningyu opened all the curtains.

The flowers in the garden were exceptionally vibrant, and the curtains were left open even during the afternoon nap.
