Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Shao Yuyan suddenly found the word "friend" jarring; he didn't want to be friends with Chi Xing.

But what else is there between them besides friendship?

They're not relatives, they're not brothers, so could they be... husband and wife?

A word that was both strange and familiar appeared in Shao Yuyan's mind, along with the words the little bodyguard had said before he died in his previous life: "I love you."

In this world, same-sex marriage is legal, but after he and Akahoshi reunited, Akahoshi seemed to have no intention of continuing their previous relationship. So... does that "I love you" still count?

Shao Yuyan's heart stirred slightly. In his previous life, he was a cripple and had never thought about romantic love.

All we know is that some men like to be with other men, and these are called "sworn brothers" in folk tradition. This is no different from marriage between men and women, except that they will not have children after marriage.

Shao Yuyan was indifferent to the matter of children. If he could be with someone he loved, not having children wouldn't be a problem.

However, he wasn't sure if he liked Akahoshi.

Lost in thought, Shao Yuyan was wide awake, while the sound of even breathing could be heard beside him.

The mattress sank in, and the person rolled over again, this time pulling him directly into their arms.

Hot breath sprayed on the side of his neck, but Shao Yuyan remained motionless. His heartbeat didn't lie, and neither did the temperature on his face.

At that moment, Shao Yuyan realized one thing: he had also fallen for this young bodyguard.

As the cicadas chirped outside, Shao Yuyan's heart pounded faster and faster.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he reached out and turned off the light in the room, plunging the entire room into darkness.

Dark clouds obscured the moon, plunging the village into complete darkness, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face in the rooms.

Chi Xing was truly asleep this time. Sensitive to the darkness, he snuggled into Shao Yuyan's arms, saying, "Yuyan, I want a hug."

Shao Yuyan's hand was a little stiff, so he raised it and placed it on Chixing's waist.

After hearing the frogs croak a few times, Shao Yuyan turned to face Chixing and placed his hand on Chixing's back. He gently stroked it a few times and felt that Chixing was sleeping more peacefully.

He didn't want to be friends with Chi Xing. Since he was Chi Xing's little bodyguard in his past life, he might as well not escape in this life either, Shao Yuyan thought domineeringly.

Before the sunlight even shone into the house, the sound of gongs and drums rang out outside.

"Get up! If you don't get up, you won't get breakfast!" Director Wang's voice came from the loudspeaker, waking everyone in the rooms.

Chi Xing opened his eyes and found himself clinging tightly to Shao Yuyan like an octopus, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all, and even watched Shao Yuyan open his eyes.

Their eyes met, and Chi Xing spoke first: "Good morning, Brother Yu."

Shao Yuyan looked down at their posture; Chi Xing's leg was still draped over his.

"Hmm, you still need to hug someone to sleep at night." He asked casually, "You didn't hug other people to sleep before, did you?"

Chi Xing pressed down on the corner of her mouth, released her arms and legs from Shao Yuyan, and shook her head: "No, I've never slept with anyone else before."

He stared at Shao Yuyan with his innocent eyes and said, "I've only ever slept with you."

Shao Yuyan turned his head away and licked his dry lips: "Then don't sleep with other people in the future, it's not safe."

"Huh? Is Brother Yu worried about me?"

"Correct."

After saying that word, Shao Yuyan turned around and went into the bathroom to wash up, leaving Chi Xing silently curling her lips on the bed.

Not everyone can be as harmonious as they are. There are only three rooms with bathrooms: the one with Chi Xing and Shao Yuyan, the one with the two girls, and the one chosen by Xie Xiuming.

Zhou originally wanted to choose a room with a bathroom, but there was only a 1500*1800mm single bed. He was a restless sleeper, and Jiang Tu was socially awkward, so the two decided to choose a room with two beds.

Xie Xiuming has a single bed, so he can sleep alone without any problem.

Feng Wuyuan and Lin An, who were the last to choose a room, were not so lucky. Their room only had one bed, which was the same 1500mm single bed as the girls' room.

It was just the right size for two men to sleep in, but Lin An brought too much stuff. He had two pillows of his own, plus a long bolster pillow that he cuddled while sleeping.

His things took up a lot of space on the bed, and he had to sleep on the inside, so Feng Wuyuan had no choice but to sleep on the outside, where he might accidentally fall off the bed.

Lin An barely slept that night, and he wasn't much better off. At home, he was a pampered young master, so how could he possibly sleep in such a terrible environment?

After washing up, he made a phone call into the camera. His family comforted him, and when they saw that he lived in a mud house, the eldest brother of the Lin family wished they could send someone to repair the house for Lin An immediately.

They told Lin An to go home, saying there was nothing worth recording on this kind of show.

Lin An wiped away her tears and said bravely, "If the captain doesn't want to quit halfway, so can I. Don't worry about me."

Lin An's fans in the live chat were all feeling sorry for him. He had streamed when he first joined the team, and Lin An gained a lot of fans with his cute and gentle appearance.

The amazing thing is that someone with such a face is a gunner, and his fans are truly crazy.

Some viewers on the live stream have already started criticizing the production team, scolding them for providing such poor living conditions for the guests.

The director had already said that the reason they couldn't compete with others in the house-grabbing incident was because they themselves couldn't win, and the production team was also helpless.

After washing up, Chi Xing and Shao Yuyan went out. Fresh ingredients were laid out in the yard, and Director Wang and the others were already eating rice noodles with a bowl in each hand.

Chen Duo looked at the ingredients on the table, somewhat bewildered: "Director, where's our breakfast?"

Director Wang smiled without saying a word, then lowered his head and took another sip of soup.

The assistant director pointed to the ingredients on the table: "Since you got up late, you'll have to make your own breakfast today. You can work with others or cook as a group."

With limited ingredients on the table, Akahoshi reached out and grabbed ramen, eggs, tomatoes, and vegetables.

Seeing that he had taken the noodles, Ou Su immediately took a handful of dried vermicelli and some side dishes, and went with Chen Duo to make breakfast.

Before the other groups could react, they quickly went to get the ingredients.

Zhou Wang took two ears of corn, and Jiang Tu went to get the eggs. He wasn't wearing a hat or mask today, but he still habitually kept his head down and didn't speak.

Suddenly, he tripped over something and almost fell, when a large hand grabbed the back of his collar.

He was rather short and thin. After lifting him to his feet to steady himself, Xie Xiuming subconsciously asked, "Are you alright?"

Jiang Tu's face turned pale with fright. He mustered his courage, looked up at Xie Xiuming, and then bowed, saying, "Thank you."

"Hmm?" This was the first time Xie Xiuming had clearly seen the child's face, and he frowned at just one glance.

The aroma of tomato and egg noodles wafted from the kitchen. Lin An sniffed hard. He and Feng Wuyuan were always a step behind in everything, even breakfast, where they only got two sweet potatoes and two eggs.

"I didn't expect Akahoshi's cooking to be so delicious. Will you be able to draw the cooking lot? I want to eat all your dishes."

Chen Duo stared longingly at the two bowls of noodles that Chi Xing had prepared.

Akahoshi smiled and said, "If we're lucky."
