Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Butler Chen said respectfully, "Young Master, Young Master Youning went to the Si family. According to our spies, Young Master Youning carried a lot of luggage and went home with that person from the Chi family."

"What?"

"Youning—"

Gu Xu'an strode out and headed straight for Chi Xing's house.

The two people who came out of the study looked at each other in bewilderment.

Madam Gu: "What's this boy doing? Has his wife run off with someone else?"

Mr. Gu shook his head: "I don't know, and I don't know if the gift is enough. You Ning is a very outstanding child."

Mrs. Gu raised an eyebrow: "Oh? And you were giving your son a hard time just now?"

Father Gu smiled and said, "If we don't do this, how will he know how to cherish people? What's hard-won is precious. That kid is young, so I have to help Youning vet him."

"Hmph, you're smart enough to know your place. If you dare to object, don't ever come to my bed again. What era are we living in? I'm not some feudal old-fashioned person."

A lady in a cheongsam led Mr. Gu downstairs and inquired about her son and daughter-in-law from Butler Chen.

At the entrance of the Chi family's residence.

Gu Xu'an rang the doorbell, feeling anxious. Could it be that Chi Xing would try to kidnap the younger brother instead of the older brother?

Could someone really be that beastly?

Will Youning fall for Akahoshi?

Gu Xu'an pressed the button again in his haste; You Ning could only be his.

The gate opened, and the Chi family's steward, seeing the visitor, was not surprised and bowed slightly to invite him in.

When Gu Xu'an entered, he saw several people sitting around the dining table. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Si Ningyu was sitting next to Chi Xing.

"Brother Xu'an, I sent you a message, didn't you see it?" Si Youning picked up his phone.

Seeing no discomfort on Si Ningyu's face, Chi Xing let Gu Xu'an sit down: "Let's eat together."

The servants brought the food, and Gu Xu'an, without any ceremony, sent a message to his mother telling them to eat by themselves.

He took a long stride and sat down next to Si Youning, explaining, "I didn't check my phone just now, and when I couldn't find you at home, I came here right away."

Only when she got closer did she notice that one of Si Youning's cheeks was slightly flushed. Just as she was about to say something, she saw him give her a meaningful look, so Gu Xu'an didn't dare to ask, but was just a little unhappy:

"Why didn't you wait for me when you were packing your things? I could have helped you."

"It's nothing serious. By the way, I'm planning to ask for leave to go out with my brother. Do you want to come along?" Si Youning had already asked the school for leave.

They use a credit system; as long as you attend the final exam and earn enough credits, you can graduate, and you can take leave whenever you want.

What he really wanted to ask was whether Gu's parents objected to them being together.

Gu Xu'an understood him and noticed Si Ningyu's somewhat nervous expression, so he smiled and said:

"Of course we should be together. My parents already agreed to us being together, and they even prepared a lot of gifts for you to give to them when you get back."

The eyes of the two Si brothers lit up immediately, and Si Youning could hardly believe it:

"Really? But I'm a man."

Gu Xu'an took his hand and said, "My family doesn't care about these things. Besides, I like you, regardless of gender."

Si Youning felt a huge weight lifted from her heart, but she quickly became anxious again: "I... I haven't prepared a formal gift for them yet, so I won't go home with you."

Gu Xu'an, who had originally wanted to persuade him to go home with her tonight: ?

"No need, they don't care about these things," Gu Xu'an added.

Si Youning: "No, I'll go to your house to see them in a few days."

Ignoring Gu Xu'an's pleading eyes, Chi Xing served Si Ningyu some food and said gently:

"Ayu, hurry up and eat."

Si Ningyu didn't get involved in their affairs and just kept her head down to eat.

After the meal, Chi Xing took Si Ningyu upstairs.

Upon entering the room, Si Ningyu was slightly taken aback by the familiar layout and decor.

"I don't know what kind of room you like, so I'll renovate it according to your room. Please tell me if there's anything else that needs to be changed, or if there's anything you don't like."

Chi Xing hugged him from behind, his warm breath brushing against Si Ningyu's ear as he spoke.

Si Ningyu shook her head: "No."

Suddenly remembering something, Si Ningyu brought over a small first-aid kit, pulled Chixing to sit on the sofa, and personally disinfected and applied medicine to his hands.

"It doesn't hurt. Ah Yu needs to eat well so she'll have the strength to bite me later."

These words were ambiguous, causing Si Ningyu to pause, her ears turning slightly red.

He's an adult, and over the years he's dreamt of himself with a handsome man in ancient costume... but those are just dreams, and besides, he's never really seen what that person looked like.

However, after seeing Chi Xing's soul last time, Si Ningyu was certain that the people in her previous dreams were definitely him.

The thought that she was already living with Akahoshi, and that they were boyfriend and girlfriend, made her wonder if that night...

Not daring to think any further, Si Ningyu finished applying the medicine and said she wanted to take a shower, then went to the bathroom alone.

Seeing the somewhat flustered figure, Akahoshi wished he could follow, but Ayu needed to recover further, and he couldn't bully the sick Ayu.

At night, Si Ningyu still lay with the dragon doll on her left and Chi Xing on her right.

Akahoshi still slept holding him, but his hands remained obedient.

Si Ningyu stirred, and Chi Xing's large hand gently patted his back: "Good boy, go to sleep."

Si Ningyu: ...

Half an hour later, looking at Chi Xing's sleeping face, Si Ningyu sighed softly.

I don't understand how he can sleep so calmly. Doesn't he have any... thoughts?

Or is it that the stars don't like his appearance, or they don't like this body?

Si Ningyu quietly touched the only fleshy spot on her back. Actually, it wasn't very fleshy; compared to Xingxing's, she was really too thin.

No wonder I don't like stars.

Si Ningyu's joyful mood turned dejected and somewhat saddened. He was indeed not well, and his health was not good either.

Her body shifted involuntarily, and then she heard the man's deep, husky voice:

"Ayu, if you keep looking at me like that, I'm about to lose control."

"Wha, what?"

By the moonlight, Si Ningyu saw Chi Xing's eyes suddenly open, bright and sparkling, not at all like someone who had just woken up.

"You...you're not asleep?"

So Akahoshi wasn't asleep. Did he know that she had been watching him?

Caught red-handed, Si Ningyu quickly lowered her head and whispered, "I wasn't looking at you. Go to sleep."

He was so nervous that he even missed the last sentence Akahoshi said.

Chixing gently hugged him: "But Ayu, you kept moving around just now, do you know how much I was suffering?"

"Endure what?"

Si Ningyu didn't quite understand what that sentence meant, so she asked it directly.

Then, a large hand guided his hand to touch the little star.

The scalding touch startled Si Ningyu, who quickly tried to pull her hand back, but Chi Xing held it down.

"Ayu, do you still doubt your charm? I've been holding back for a long time. Once you've recovered, I won't hold back anymore."

Si Ningyu buried herself in his arms, not daring to look up or make a sound; only her bright red ears proved that she was not asleep.

The slight feeling of loneliness I had just felt vanished completely, replaced by the gentle lullaby from Akahoshi.

"Go to sleep peacefully. I love you. It doesn't have to be this kind of thing."
