Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

"Tsk, why are you so stubborn? If I were capable, would I need you?" Wang Mei wanted to curse, but she didn't dare to say it loudly, afraid that someone would hear.

Shen Ercheng, in a fit of desperation, declared: "I won't do such a despicable thing."

"You don't want to? Fine, then don't study next semester. You want to go to school without money? Dream on. I've raised an ungrateful child. He does nothing all day but think about studying that useless book."

Wang Mei grumbled and cursed, while Shen Ercheng went back to his room to sleep, making plans to leave.

He is now an adult and can find a job on his own, but he still wants to take the college entrance examination.

He's clearly half a year older than Shen Yu, who's already in college, while he's only in his second year of high school because he started school late.

Looking back on these years, Shen Ercheng realized that compared to his older brother, he had to do all the housework and farm work, while his older brother didn't have to do anything because he was sweet-talking.

He really didn't want to stay here; his parents and older brother would only make him do bad things.

At eighteen, Shen Ercheng knew what was good and what was bad. He didn't understand when he was young, but now he didn't want to do it anymore; he wanted to be a good person.

There was another rustling sound outside. Shen Ercheng walked to the door and saw through the crack in the door that Wang Mei took something wrapped in paper out of the crack in the bricks under the eaves.

Shen Ercheng remembered clearly that it was a packet of rat poison.

A summer breeze blew in the courtyard. Chi Xing got up early to make breakfast for the family, and Shen Yu had to get up with her.

"You should sleep a little longer." Chixing put her arm around him and helped him lie back down on the bed.

Shen Yu, still half-asleep, said, "Let's go together."

He didn't want Akahoshi to cook alone; the little simpleton would get tired.

A soft touch came from his lips, as if knowing what he was thinking. Akashi touched nose to nose with him and chuckled, "My husband thought I was a little fool."

Shen Yu smiled and gently grabbed Chi Xing's ear: "Yes, you've always been a big fool in my heart."

"Is that so?" Akahoshi said with a smile, his hand already reaching for Shen Yu's waist.

Shen Yu was about to dodge when she suddenly realized that Chi Xing had already climbed onto the bed and, due to the difference in their sizes, he had pinned Shen Yu down.

"Ah, stop tickling me, hahaha, Akahoshi..."

Akahoshi lifted his shirt, revealing his fair and well-defined abs, and counted them with her fingers: "Hmm? Honey, am I stupid?"

Shen Yu reached out and pressed down on Chi Xing's wrist, took a breath and said, "No, you are my wife."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chi Xing lowered her head and gently bit his neck. The hot breath near his delicate Adam's apple made Shen Yu tilt his head back slightly.

"Uh... don't bite, Akahoshi."

Chi Xing's deep voice came close to Shen Yu's ear and he said, "I'm not satisfied, Yu. I'm a man. Humans don't call men 'wife'."

Shen Yu hugged him, her slender fingers entwining around the hair at the back of his head, her smile undiminished:

"Then...husband?"

"Um...Akahoshi, no, it's daytime."

Shen Yu's collarbone was bitten, but fortunately, a certain star knew its limits and did not injure her, but red marks were inevitable.

After mentally going through all the clothes in the wardrobe, Shen Yu confirmed that she still had turtleneck clothes to wear, so she let him have his way.

He ruffled Akahoshi's hair and sighed, "Only I spoil you, hmph."

After a flurry of nudgings, Chi Xing looked up and kissed Shen Yu's lips repeatedly. He whispered, "Ayu, call me husband one more time."

Shen Yu: ...

She cursed him in her heart as a big idiot, then gently patted Chi Xing's cheeks with both hands. The two faced each other, and Shen Yu earnestly called him, "Husband."

Akahoshi's face lit up with a smile, and his mind was filled with excitement. He immediately replied, "Hey, Ayu, honey, I love you so much."

After saying that, he kissed her on the lips, and Shen Yu also kissed him in return. He responded, "Chixing, I love you even more."

Akahoshi shook her head and then nodded: "I love you the most."

Shen Yu pinched his cheek, laughing in exasperation: "Can't you just admit defeat this once?"

He was willing to be suppressed, but Chixing still wanted to compete with him for it. Shen Yu bit Chixing's cheek.

Akahoshi resolutely refused to admit defeat: "No, I will always love you the most, I can't admit defeat, Ayu."

Shen Yu couldn't stop smiling, so she simply kissed him a few more times.

After cuddling for a while, Shen Yu got up with him. Shen Yu changed into a short-sleeved shirt with a higher collar. Chi Xing's cheeks were a little red, but it was hard to tell.

As soon as the two went downstairs, they smelled the delicious aroma coming from the kitchen. At that moment, Wei Qiu and Shen Yiming walked in from the front door, carrying some breakfast.

"You're up! Your dad and I went to buy breakfast. Let's get ready to eat." Wei Qiu smiled broadly, and Shen Yiming beside her also chuckled.

"Mom and Dad, why are you up so early?" Shen Yu said, and Shen Yan came out of the kitchen carrying a pot of porridge.

Shen Qing, who was behind her, was carrying a plate of eggs and looked like she hadn't woken up yet. She said, "My older brother woke me up a long time ago. I'm so sleepy."

Shen Yan put down the porridge, turned around and glared at him: "Living in someone else's house and acting like a young master? Who's spoiling you?"

Shen Qing looked at Wei Qiu with a wronged expression: "Mom, my older brother always criticizes me."

Wei Qiu tried to smooth things over: "Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing. Your older brother was just saying that. Is this a boiled egg made by Xiao Qing? That's really amazing."

Shen Qing picked up an egg and placed it in front of Wei Qiu: "Yes, Mom, try the egg I cooked."

Shen Yan served him a bowl of porridge. He really wanted to say that it was just boiled eggs, what kind of fancy dishes could it be cooked into? But he thought better of it and didn't say anything, lest this pretentious guy complain again.

They all stayed at Chixing's house last night. The village chief came by and asked if they could stay there. If they couldn't, they could stay at the village chief's house.

If they're only staying for a few days, we won't charge them rent.

They thanked the village chief and decided to stay at Chixing's house.

Chi Xing cleaned up her room on the second floor for Shen Yiming and his wife to live in, while Shen Yan and Shen Qing could squeeze in.

The other assistants and bodyguards stayed at a hotel in town. The town wasn't small, and there were two hotels, both fully equipped.

Shen Yu pulled Chi Xing to sit down and have breakfast. Shen Yu's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number calling him. Before he could answer, the other party hung up and then sent a message.

Akahoshi also saw the message and frowned slightly.

250: [Wang Mei offered you steamed buns at the gate, but the filling of those buns was all laced with rat poison.]

Knowing this, Shen Ercheng sent a message to the Immortal Lord beforehand, telling him not to eat the steamed buns Wang Mei sent.

Shen Yu looked at the steamed buns on the table and asked, "Mom and Dad, did you buy all of these from Boss Wang?"

Wei Qiu nodded: "Yes, I've seen a lot of people buying steamed buns from him. Why?"

"It's okay, just eat."

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Akahoshi stood up and said, "I'll go out and see."

Shen Yu followed her out: "Together."

Sure enough, Wang Mei was standing outside the door, carrying a basket that was half full of white steamed buns.

"Xiaoyu, I heard you have some guests. Have you had breakfast yet? I made some steamed buns for you, they're all meat-filled."
