Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

He frowned, unsure of what to say.

The image of the boy with a large black birthmark on his face flashed through her mind. Actually, Akahoshi didn't have any particular thoughts about getting plastic surgery.

We only live once, so it's perfectly understandable to want to look better.

But is it really a good idea to have plastic surgery to look like someone who has already died?

This is difficult to assess.

Wait, what's the relationship between Ou Susu and Ou Ming?

250: [Cousins, but Ou Ming always bullies Ou Susu. Ou Susu's parents died early, and he lives alone. Ou Ming thinks he's ugly and often bullies him.]

Chixing asked again, "Those people who harmed Chixing, were they brought to the village by Ouming?"

250: [It's true, those people went to the same school as Ou Ming. They like to cause trouble in the capital; I never expected it would lead to someone dying.]

【Ha.】Akahoshi sneered.

Someone knocked on the door. He went out and opened it. It was a boy of similar build to him, whose long bangs almost covered most of his face.

He was carrying a bamboo basket and subconsciously looked into the yard after the door opened.

Akahoshi's voice was indifferent: "What is it?"

Ou Susu glanced quickly at Chi Xing's face, then lowered her head and said in a muffled voice:

"Priest, I made some glutinous rice cakes and brought them to you."

After saying that, he handed the basket over, but Akahoshi pushed it back, saying, "No need."

Akahoshi didn't give a friendly look to the person who indirectly caused Ayu's death. And what was with that look in his eyes?

Chi Xing closed the door, turned around and went back into the house. Ou Su Su stared at the wooden door for a long time before leaving.

Back in his own courtyard, Ou Ming took a few steps away from him with disdain: "You were gone for so long, how is he? Is he alright?"

Ou Susu shook her head: "No, there are no snakes inside."

"Useless! Didn't you say that Akahoshi is afraid of snakes? I don't think he's afraid at all, and he's already chased the snakes away."

Ou Ming was furious. He had no doubt that he had failed to lure the snake in; it was Ou Su Su's fault.

Hearing these curses, Ou Susu lowered her head and remained silent until Ou Ming left, cursing all the while.

Carrying a basket, Ou Susu entered the house and sat in front of the mirror, her long hair swept back, revealing a black birthmark that covered most of her face.

In some places, the birthmark is covered with black downy hairs, which looks quite frightening.

"Why? Why do I have to look like this?"

The image of Akahoshi's face flashed into his mind—no, it was his face.

Ou Susu gently touched her face, murmuring, "Chixing, you must die, otherwise, what will I do?"

He rubbed the birthmark on his face hard, tears welling up in his eyes, whether from sadness or pain, it was hard to tell.

"Lu Haotian, you are so cruel, but it doesn't matter, you will fall in love with me again."

"This is tea grown here. It is made from fresh leaves of wild Eucommia ulmoides. It can quench thirst, refresh the mind, and invigorate the spirit."

Akahoshi held a bag of tea leaves in his hand, and another bag was open in front of him. He took out some and performed a tea ceremony on the spot.

Seated cross-legged at the tea table, the camera focuses on Akahoshi's hands; his slender, pale fingers pick up the teapot and pour hot water...

The scalding hot teaware made his fingers turn slightly red. Akahoshi pulled his hand back but continued to the next step until a pot of tea was brewed.

The clear tea was poured into each cup, but almost everyone's eyes were fixed on those fair and rosy fingers.

Especially the people living in a villa in the capital.

Staring at the scene on the screen, Su Yujin felt that the coffee in his hand had lost its flavor. He ate his breakfast in silence when a person in pajamas came down the stairs.

"Cousin, good morning."

Su Yujin: "Starting tomorrow, you will also go to work at the company. Your aunt said so."

Lu Haotian's still-sleepy eyes widened suddenly: "What?"

"work?"

He walked to the dining table, plopped down, and his messy hair made the servants next to him want to laugh.

"I came to you because I didn't want to go to work, cousin. Please, have mercy on me and let me go."

Su Yujin stared intently at the tablet, not sparing him a glance, but the words she uttered pierced Lu Haotian's heart.

"If you're not happy about it, then go today. I've already arranged a position for you, so you can start working right away."

Lu Haotian: ... "Ahhhhhh".

Half an hour later.

Su Yujin stepped into the company, and her assistant Xiao Lu was forced to follow her.

"Set up a table for him at the entrance. You don't need to treat him like Young Master Lu."

Lu Haotian: ...

No sooner had Su Yujin entered the office than Lu Haotian sat down, took out his phone, and prepared to play a tense and exciting 5v5 game.

Li Yun, who had just come out of the office, tapped on his desk and said, "Xiao Lu, no playing games during office hours."

Lu Haotian: ...

Is there any justice in the world?

In the office, Su Yujin turned on her computer but couldn't look at it for a long time.

My eyes were fixed on those fair hands, still brewing tea, their fingertips red from the heat.

He tapped his finger on the screen, bringing up the product page for that tea; there were fewer than a few hundred available.

But since it's only being sold here today, even though there are thousands of people watching, they're all looking at Akahoshi's hands. Some people are sending him gifts, asking him to brew another pot of tea.

Su Yujin frowned unconsciously. She first sent several of the most expensive gifts in a row, and the special effects amazed everyone.

The comments were all:

Wow, what a rich guy!

—The boss is generous.

—The top-ranked fan is incredibly generous.

Akahoshi looked at the comments in bewilderment, then exclaimed with delight, "Thank you, thank you for the gift, Brother Su!"

He wanted to call him Brother Yu, but unfortunately that nickname only had the character "Su".

Then Su Yujin posted a comment:

—I've bought the tea.

—Your hands are all red from the heat, you're not allowed to touch hot water again.

"Huh? No, it's okay, it doesn't hurt." Akahoshi looked down at her fingers.

Order notifications appeared in the live chat.

Before long, all the tea was sold out.

Xie Changyang arranged for someone to contact the courier, while Xie Changyue stood to the side, holding burn ointment in her hand, her eyes full of worry.

250: [Oh, no hot water allowed, how domineering!]

Akahoshi snorted: [I just love Aya like this, she's so cool.]

He thanked the camera, saying, "Thank you for placing the order, brother. I wish you good health and all your wishes come true."

Su Yujin swiped his finger across the tablet, recording the scene he had just witnessed. After a while, he replied in the comments:

--Um.

As soon as the live stream ended, Xie Changyue handed over burn ointment, muttering:

“Priest, it’s okay if we can’t sell them. We can just let the prince take them to town to sell.”

"Look, your hands are all red from the heat. I shouldn't have agreed to your suggestion to make tea."

Akahoshi applied the ointment himself and said nonchalantly, "It's alright, as long as they can be sold."

These tea leaves were picked by the villagers together, and the money from the sale was shared among everyone. As a priest, it was Chixing's duty to sell the goods.

P.S.: (I'm taking the day off today, so I'll only be posting one chapter.)
