Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Shen Qing: "Anything is fine, everything you make is delicious."

Shen Yu was already used to this same answer from Chi Xing.

Compared to Shen Yu, Chi Xing was clearly more skilled at cooking. After all, he was a man who had been an interstellar culinary master. Shen Yu was amazed by Chi Xing's skill in flipping the wok.

Today, Chi Xing is in charge of cooking, and Shen Yu is assisting him.

It only takes a little time to peel garlic, wash two scallions, and grab a piece of ginger.

Akahoshi worked quickly and soon prepared a table full of light dishes.

It was common for people in the village to eat simple meals, so Shen Qing didn't find it strange. After the five of them finished dinner, they suddenly heard the sound of a car outside.

Then a villager said, "This is the place. Shen Yu is currently living at Chi Xing's house. He's renting it because he has no choice. His mud-brick house is too dangerous for people to live in."

"Thank you so much, fellow villager. Here, this is something we brought from Beijing. It's nothing special." Shen Yiming gave the villager who had led the way a gift box.

The villager immediately waved his hand: "No, no, you're asking for a gift just for pointing out the way. Save it for Xiaoyu, that child is too thin."

"Yes, you're from Beijing looking for Shen Yu? You look so young, are you his older brother or sister?" an older woman asked tentatively.

Upon hearing this, Wei Qiu couldn't stop smiling and loudly imitated the villagers, saying, "Haha, this is Xiaoyu's older brother, my son. Xiaoyu is our youngest son."

"What? You...you wouldn't happen to be his adoptive parents, would you? What are you doing here?" The villager who had led the way initially thought these were Shen Yu's friends, but he didn't expect them to be his adoptive parents.

They simultaneously recalled the rumors that Shen Yu had been sent back, so what were these adoptive parents doing here?

"You're not here to make things difficult for Xiaoyu, are you? Let me make this clear from the start: Xiaoyu is a child from our village. No matter what happened in the past, now that he's back, all of us uncles and aunts are his family."

"Yes, yes, you all sent him back. You can't bully him here."

Hearing these conversations in the courtyard, Shen Yu felt a warmth in her heart.

Instead of getting angry, Wei Qiu and his companions felt a little better after hearing the villagers' accusations.

"Thank you for taking care of Xiaoyu. We're here to take Xiaoyu home, not to bully him."

At that moment, the door of the Chixing family opened, and Shen Yu walked out and saw her adoptive parents and older brother in this world.

At the same time, the family of three also looked at Shen Yu.

He was wearing a T-shirt that looked like it was of poor quality, with a loose thread on the short sleeve and the cuffs rolled up. His black shorts were also snagged, and he was wearing cheap canvas shoes covered in dust.

Wei Qiu's tears fell in a steady stream, and her heart ached as if it were being squeezed.

"Xiaoyu, my Xiaoyu." She walked up to Shen Yu, looked at his face, and said, "You've lost weight and gotten darker."

Helpless, Shen Yu raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said gently, "Mom, why are you crying again? I'm doing very well here, I haven't suffered any hardship."

In my memory, Ms. Wei Qiu was a very sentimental person. My grandmother and the others used to joke that she had the constitution of Lin Daiyu (a character from the novel *Dream of the Red Chamber*), because she would cry at the drop of a hat.

No matter what, she was still a gentle and beautiful person before. After a few months, Wei Qiu's wrinkles at the corners of her eyes have deepened, and the dark circles under her eyes are not so well covered by foundation. Her hair has also turned gray.

Shen Yu suddenly felt a pang of heartache. She hadn't cared when she didn't see them, but seeing them brought forth the deep affection she had felt for them for over a decade.

"Mom, Dad, Big Brother, you go in first."

Shen Yu invited them into the house first, then thanked the villagers and said he would treat them to a meal another day.

When the villagers saw that Wei Qiu and the others were crying when they saw Shen Yu, they immediately realized that they had been wrong before. Shen Yu was not driven out at all.

They were clearly being treated like his own son, so they felt relieved and went home.

After closing the door, Shen Qing was attentively massaging his mother's shoulders, while Chi Xing poured tea for them.

"Mom, I didn't mean to keep it from you. It's just that I didn't want you to worry," Shen Qing explained.

Wei Qiu glared at him: "I know you've all been keeping it from me, but you can't not even tell me where Xiaoyu is. Look how thin Xiaoyu has become."

Shen Qing muttered to herself, "I've lost weight too, and Xiaoyu is having a lot of fun every day."

His eyes glanced at Chi Xing, a small gesture that Shen Yan noticed.

Just now at the door, Akahoshi was standing next to Shen Yu, and there was an indescribable feeling between them. Now…

They found themselves standing together again, and Shen Yan suddenly had a bad feeling.

Then Shen Yu coughed lightly and said, "Mom and Dad, Big Brother, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Chi Xing."

“After returning to my hometown, I had nowhere to live, so I rented his house. But it wasn’t because of that. I’m with him because I like him. We won’t break up, and we will stay together in the future.”

Shen Yiming had just taken a sip of the tea that Chi Xing had brought him, but before he could even swallow it, he felt like spitting it out.

Wei Qiu, standing to the side, was stunned, while Shen Yan's gaze toward Chi Xing turned icy.

Shen Qing, standing to the side, winked at Chi Xing, telling him to run away when the opportunity arose, reminding him that his older brother really knew how to beat people up.

After Shen Yu finished speaking, she didn't care whether they would accept it or not; this matter had to be addressed sooner or later.

Chixing naturally took his hand and promised, "Uncle, Aunt, Big Brother, I am just an ordinary villager in Pear Blossom Village now, but I promise to give Ayu happiness."

"Ha, as far as I know, you were an idiot not long ago. How can you give Xiaoyu happiness?" Shen Yiming swallowed the tea and spoke without any politeness.

Wei Qiu pinched his waist, trying to stop him from talking, but Shen Yan picked up where his father left off:

"Xiaoyu, do you really want to stay in this village forever?"

Shen Yu shook his head and said frankly, "No, I'm confident I can take Chi Xing out. He's very smart, and besides, I don't need him to be very successful. I just like him as a person, nothing else."

Looking at Shen Yiming, Shen Yu asked, "Dad, when you pursued Mom back then, was it because she was profitable, or because she was beautiful and gentle?"

Shen Yiming sat up straight, cleared his throat, and said, "Of course not. I liked your mother the moment I saw her. I didn't care about her status or her strengths or weaknesses."

In front of the children, Shen Yiming never hid his love for Wei Qiu. He said earnestly, "To love someone is to love all of her, including her flaws. Of course, your mother has no flaws."

After speaking, she looked at Wei Qiu, who snorted coldly, her lips curving into a beautiful smile, regaining her former confident and beautiful demeanor.

Shen Yu: "That's it. I love Xingxing too. I liked him at first sight. In my eyes, Xingxing has no flaws."
