Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

And so, Akahoshi showed off the dishes he had just made.

In the simple log cabin, a plate of stir-fried beef and a plate of leafy greens are placed on the light-colored wooden table, and a bowl of brown rice is in front of Akahoshi.

Seeing Su Yujin frown, Chixing quickly explained, "I did cook meat dishes, we didn't just eat vegetarian dishes."

Those big eyes blinked, and Su Yujin couldn't bear to blame him; she just felt a little sorry for him.

"I'll cook more other dishes tomorrow, so you should eat more."

Akahoshi shook his head again: "I'm not thin."

"I know, I know you're not thin, but you still need to eat more and grow taller." Her tone was just like coaxing a child, and Akahoshi's heart couldn't help but race. Ayu is so kind.

"Brother Yu, are you very tall? If I'm too short, will you not like me?"

Akahoshi has measured her height, and it is currently 180 cm, which is considered very tall in this village.

Su Yujin: "I will never dislike you. No matter how tall you are, I will always like you."

"I'm 180."

Akahoshi couldn't laugh anymore. He was still too short and needed to grow taller, at least taller than Ayu.

"Then I'll eat more from now on."

He buried his head in his food, and Su Yujin just smiled and didn't ask any questions, eating with him.

Lu Haotian, sitting opposite him, was already dumbfounded. He even felt that he was superfluous and should be squatting under the table instead of eating at the table.

His cousin was on the phone, so he didn't ask too many questions and went upstairs after finishing his dinner.

My cousin calls his wife "baby," so can he do that too?

He should really learn from his cousin; look at him, he's already making video calls.

On a whim, Lu Haotian made a video call to Ou Susu.

For a while, no one answered the phone.

Lu Hao only sent a message after the ringing stopped.

"SuSu, can we video call? I want to see you."

There was still no reply.

His hand gripping the phone was almost deformed. Ou Susu's eyes were red. In the mirror in front of him, his bangs covered half of his face, and his lower lip, which he was biting so hard, was bleeding.

The phone rang repeatedly, and Ou Susu had no choice but to send a message to Lu Haotian.

SuSu: [Sorry, I'm not available right now.]

Lu: [It's okay, but could you send me a photo? I miss you.]

He also sent her a few selfies, and Lu Haotian, full of anticipation, received several photos from Ou Susu.

SuSu: [This was filmed secretly by villagers after I finished my live stream.]

In the photo, a boy wearing a dark blue robe is sitting on a small stool, holding a piece of mung bean cake in his hand, his mouth bulging out as he eats, with crumbs of cake still stuck to his lips.

Lu Haotian couldn't help but smile when he saw the photo.

Su Su is the prettiest person I've ever seen; she's so cute when she eats.

Looking at these compliments, Ou Susu felt as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out. Lu Haotian, if you knew I was an ugly monster, you would definitely hate me, right?

Replying through my discomfort: 【No, it was just taken with a beauty filter on.】

Lu Haotian licked his lips: [Baby, do you even know how good-looking you are? Even in the capital, you could be a star.]

Having attended several banquets before, Lu Haotian had seen celebrities quite often, but compared to those celebrities, his Su Su was simply an angel descended from heaven.

Moreover, she is an immortal untouched by worldly corruption, possessing ethereal beauty, and looks even more stunning in this Miao ethnic costume.

Lu Haotian imagined what Ou Susu would look like in ancient costume; her flowing long hair must be beautiful.

SuSu: [Do you only like me because of my looks? If I were ugly, would you still like me?]

Lu Haotian replied with a smile: "[Yes, we met through playing games. Even if you have an average appearance, it doesn't matter.]"

He'd seen plenty of ordinary people before; most people relied on their aura. He believed that even if Su Su's face wasn't pretty, her otherworldly aura made her handsome.

SuSu: [Really? Since you don't care about looks, you have to promise not to make video calls, otherwise it proves you were lying just now.]

Lu Haotian said indulgently, "Okay, okay, I won't fight. Anyway, I watch your live streams every day."

He mentally noted down the name of the unknown top spender, because it was this person who kept sending gifts, preventing him from becoming Su Su's top spender.

Speaking of that live stream, Lu Haotian became somewhat angry.

[SuSu, are those people still refusing to let you use your real name? That Chi Xiaoxing isn't even streaming; you're the priest in the stream, so why are you using his account to impersonate you?]

He really felt sorry for Ou Susu. He helped the villagers make money every day, but they still isolated him and even created an account called Chi Xiaoxing.

That account clearly doesn't belong to SuSu; this is going too far.

Su Su: [Brother Haotian, please don't say anything. This was all arranged by the village chief and the others, so there's nothing I can say.]

SuSu: [But it's okay, luckily you're behind me. With you here, I'm not afraid of anything.]

As she sent the message, Ou Susu felt a pang of pain in her heart.

In his past life, he had fooled Lu Haotian by using soft words and gentle persuasion.

This guy is easily swayed by gentleness; Ou Susu knows how to manipulate him.

Fortunately, having imitated Chi Xing's words and actions for years, he had also learned his voice quite well, so Lu Haotian didn't realize he wasn't the person broadcasting.

Sure enough, Lu Haotian transferred the money to him and comforted him, saying, "It's okay. Once I convince my cousin to let me go, I'll come find you, Su Su. I'm going to take you away and we'll go see Mom and Dad."

Su Su: [Will they... agree? I'm a boy, Brother Haotian, I'm... a little scared.]

Lu Haotian's heart softened completely: "Don't be afraid. They never interfere with my sexual orientation. With me here, no one can bully you."

The gloom in Ou Susu's eyes lingered; in her past life, Lu Haotian had said something similar.

But what happened? After discovering that he wasn't the priest who did the live stream back then, after finding out that he used to be an ugly monster, and after discovering that Su Yujin's death was related to him, didn't Lu Haotian still take action himself?

The suffocating feeling of seawater filling her mouth and nose was unpleasant, and Ou Susu still couldn't help but tremble when she thought of the sea.

But as someone who has been reborn, he shouldn't be afraid of these things. The ones who should be afraid are Chi Xing and Lu Haotian.

He must return to Lu Haotian's side and make his move before Lu Haotian knows everything. It would be even better if he could obtain the Lu family's assets.

Things were going according to plan, but the unexpected event that happened today still caught Ou Susu off guard.

Ou Ming should have contacted those bad students on this day; in his previous life, Chi Xing died around this time.

But now, Ou Ming has been locked up by his parents for some unknown mistake, so can he still contact those people?

Ou Susu stared at the messages that kept coming in, unable to suppress her tense and anxious emotions.

"Akahoshi, why aren't you dead yet?"
