Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

The fingers were smoother than I expected, but they were too thin, and the bones felt a bit uncomfortable.

Chixing looked up and met his gaze: "Brother Yu..."

Gu Yuning paused in her grip on his hand, tapped the table with her left hand, and said seriously, "Watch closely and learn carefully."

"Oh." Akahoshi lowered her head and stared at the yellow paper on the table, revealing her long, fair neck.

That familiar woody scent lingered in her nostrils once again. Gu Yuning quietly took a deep breath and carefully drew the talisman with Chi Xing.

His chin brushed against Akahoshi's high ponytail, and the closer he got, the stronger the woody scent became; it must be the smell of a perfume.

Gu Yuning really liked the smell. Fortunately, he was skilled at drawing talismans, and even when he was distracted, he could still draw a complete talisman.

After the yellow talisman was drawn, Gu Yuning let go of his hand: "Did you get it? Practice on your own again."

Akahoshi didn't even look up, just grunted "Mmm" and continued practicing.

Gu Yuning felt the lingering warmth of her right hand, and gently rubbed it, the scent lingering in her nose.

Just as he was about to sit down, he caught a glimpse of Akahoshi's bright red ears.

His dark eyes lit up for a moment. He sat down and stared at Akahoshi's unsteady brushstrokes as he practiced, as well as the blush on his fair cheeks.

With an uncontrollable upward curve to her lips, Gu Yuning moved closer to Chi Xing and noticed out of the corner of her eye that his face seemed even redder.

He said in a serious tone, "Yes, that's it. Don't let your hands shake."

In the end, Akahoshi completed a talisman on his own, but suddenly became much quieter.

"Want to go out for dinner together after class?" Gu Yuning invited him to have dinner together.

Akahoshi nodded: "Okay."

There weren't many people in the cafeteria. Akahoshi ordered two chicken legs, but there were hardly any vegetables on his plate.

"Why do you only eat meat? You need to eat vegetables to be healthy."

Upon seeing the chicken leg, Gu Yuning thought of the little fox at home. At this hour, was the little fox sleeping or waiting at the door?

Feeling a little guilty, Gu Yuning decided to install a small surveillance camera when she got home. She ordered it yesterday, and it should have arrived today.

"I prefer meat, it's fine."

Chixing ate a chicken leg while wearing disposable gloves, and didn't forget to ask Gu Yuning if she wanted some.

Gu Yuning refused, but seeing him eat the chicken leg, her appetite inexplicably increased, and she ate quite a bit of food as well.

It's just that Akahoshi's habit of licking his lips while eating is really...

"Star, have I ever told you that my family has a pet fox?"

Akahoshi paused in his chicken leg-eating, his eyes darting around: "Wh-what fox?"

Gu Yuning observed his expression and chuckled, "It's a little red fox. I named him Chixing before. Isn't that a coincidence?"

"Really? So, you became friends with me because of the little fox? Or..."

"Of course not. When I was talking to you, I didn't know your name was Akahoshi."

250: [Liar, he clearly saw your name first.]

Akahoshi hummed in her mind: [Even if my name wasn't Akahoshi, Tama would still talk to me and like me.]

Ignoring 250, Chixing winked at Gu Yuning: "Then when will Ayu take me home? I mean, to see the little fox."

Gu Yuning raised an eyebrow. Had he guessed wrong? Was Chi Xing actually unrelated to the little fox?

However, the two people, one human and one fox, had too many similarities, and Gu Yuning began to suspect that her rank was not high enough and that she had not seen clearly that the person in front of her was a fox demon.

“If you want to see it, let’s do it this weekend. I’ll bring him to your house to play,” Gu Yuning said.

He stared intently at Akahoshi's face, trying to see a hint of panic on his features.

However, no, Akahoshi took a bite of meat and nodded, saying, "Okay, have dinner at my house this weekend. I can cook."

It seems I was being too sensitive; perhaps it was just a coincidence.

Gu Yuning rushed to take Chixing home before dark. After closing the gate to the small courtyard, he suddenly felt that it was dangerous for someone to live alone in this small courtyard.

Especially someone like Akahoshi, who is so beautiful, is still living in an alley like this.

He messaged Akahoshi: "Akahoshi, remember to lock the doors and windows."

Akahoshi: [Okay, it's alright, don't worry, Yu-ge.]

When Gu Yuning got home, the little fox ran out of the bedroom and started whimpering at him.

After checking that the food was not missing, Gu Yuning carried the little fox into the kitchen.

"I bought you a big chicken leg, I'll cook it now."

Two chicken legs were boiled in water, and Gu Yuning and the little fox waited nearby. He held the little fox and observed it carefully, even bending down to sniff the little fox's head.

That familiar smell was still there; he really wasn't mistaken.

With a slight narrowing of his eyes, Gu Yuning carried the little fox into the bedroom and said, "Wait a minute, I need to clean. I'll let you out after I've cooked the chicken legs."

"Waaah." The little fox nestled obediently in bed.

250: [Your Highness, you're so good.]

Akahoshi rolled over: "Ayu likes me like this."

What he didn't know was that Gu Yuning had placed a small camera on the highest cabinet in the house, so that it could be seen from the sofa to the doorway.

After installing the camera, Gu Yuning did a quick cleaning of the house, and the fox's toilet was indeed spotless.

Gu Yuning murmured softly, "Stars..."

Back in the kitchen, I took the cooked chicken legs out, rinsed them in cold water, shredded them by hand, and placed them on a plate.

The door opened, and the little fox rushed out, insisting that Gu Yuning hug her.

After wiping his feet, she put him on the table. The little fox went over to eat the chicken leg meat as soon as he saw it, without Gu Yuning having to feed him.

Gu Yuning was no longer certain about what she had been doubting earlier. The little fox was so small; it would be stuffed after eating two chicken legs.

If Akahoshi's little fox ate so much food in the cafeteria, how could it still eat a chicken leg?

With a sense of doubt, Gu Yuning still hadn't figured it out by bedtime.

A gentle breeze stirred the curtains. Gu Yuning put down his phone and went to sleep. The little fox quickly climbed onto the bed and snuggled up to him.

In the middle of the night, a man with fox ears spoke in a deep voice: "Brother Yu, have you guessed it?"

Unfortunately, the Jade Brother he was talking about was fast asleep and showed no sign of waking up.

Holding his wife, Akahoshi could no longer resist kissing her repeatedly, his gaze finally settling on her fair chest and collarbone.

A mischievous smirk flashed in his eyes. His wife was too dense, so he'd better give her more clues. The progress was too slow; he was getting impatient.

Gu Yuning only got out of bed when the last alarm clock rang in the early morning.

He was a little dazed, having no recollection of what he had dreamt about last night. He glanced at the time and hurriedly went to wash up.

He stood in front of the mirror, his brows furrowed.

Where did the red marks on her chest come from? There's also a faint red mark on her collarbone.

"Stars? Did you do that?"

He looked down and met the little fox's bewildered eyes, and then, he was uncertain again.

Seeing that she was about to miss the time she had agreed to meet Chixing, Gu Yuning put on a T-shirt that covered her collarbone, packed her things, and went out.

As he walked, he opened the surveillance footage on his phone.
