Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Liu Yu was breathless from the kiss, her body went limp as she clutched Chi Xing's clothes, and a tear rolled down her clear eyes in grievance.

Whether it was from being startled or from the sudden, passionate kiss, Liu Yu was trembling slightly all over.

Akahoshi tried to calm herself down. It wasn't the right time yet; she needed to proceed gradually.

He lay on his side on the bed, gently holding Liu Yu in his arms, and softly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I won't do anything."

Liu Yu buried her face in his chest and didn't speak. He couldn't understand what Chi Xing meant by "doing what".

That made him feel like he was flying, and Liu Yu didn't dislike it at all. But if it were someone else...

Liu Yu thought about Wang Zhou saying he wanted to marry her, and then he thought about what would happen if he and Wang Zhou were like this... Ugh, he would definitely throw up. Wang Zhou is disgusting.

As she thought about it, Liu Yu moved even closer to Chi Xing, put her arms around his neck, and looked at him, saying:

"like."

Akahoshi's eyes lit up, thinking she had misheard, and she asked, "What?"

Liu Yu smiled and replied, "I like it, with you, just like before."

Chi Xing was extremely excited. Liu Yu must like him, right? She must be.

He excitedly kissed Liu Yu's lips again, making her laugh.

Perhaps finding it amusing, Liu Yu mimicked what Chi Xing had just done, placing her hands on either side of Chi Xing's head and lowering her head to nibble on his lips.

This caused another chaotic situation for Chi Xing. He had finally won Liu Yu's favor, so he dared not do anything else and could only let Liu Yu do whatever he wanted.

When Liu Yu got tired, she leaned against Chi Xing and spoke softly.

"My love, I'm so happy when I'm with you." Liu Yu didn't know that this was Xin Yue's feeling.

Unaware of this, Akahoshi told him, "Yes, Ayu, I love you."

Liu Yu looked at him with suspicion. Chi Xing said, "I love you because I hope to grow old with you, whether in poverty or wealth, in health or sickness, I will always be with you until we grow old."

Liu Yu understood.

He thought about it carefully; growing old together with Akahoshi seemed like something worth looking forward to.

Nestled in Chi Xing's arms, Liu Yu said domineeringly, "Then I love you too. But my husband can only have me. You are not allowed to take concubines, keep mistresses, or divorce me."

Chi Xing chuckled and said, "Alright, from now on, A Yu will be in charge of our household, and you can keep all the money. That way, your husband won't have any money to support people."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu's eyes crinkled with laughter. How could he not have thought of that? But he couldn't bear to let his husband be without money while he was away; that would be too embarrassing.

Thinking of something, Liu Yu jumped to a different topic.

"Oh, by the way, that scholar Wang came up the mountain looking for me today..."

Liu Yu recounted everything that had happened that day, emphasizing how Wang Zhou had tried to sow discord between them, which was truly despicable.

“He suddenly appeared after I fell into the water that day. I didn’t see him at all, and there was no seduction as they said. You can believe me.”

Liu Yu hurriedly explained the matter, as if worried that Chi Xing would misunderstand.

Although Chixing knew about those things, he still showed a resentful expression when he heard Liu Yu mention them again.

He patted Liu Yu on the back to comfort him: "Don't worry, I believe in you. You did the right thing today. That Wang Zhou is no good. Stay away from him in the future."

Liu Yu nodded solemnly; he also disliked Wang Zhou.

The two whispered to each other for a while before falling asleep in each other's arms.

Early the next morning.

Chi Xing woke up early, and only went downstairs to check out after Liu Yu also woke up.

They first went to the street to eat a bowl of wontons, and then went to the brokerage to find someone to look after their yard.

This is Yong'an County in Qingshan City, and the first academy in Qingshan City, Yong'an Academy, is located here.

Therefore, courtyards in Yong'an County are more expensive than those in other places. According to Chixing's budget, they can only afford a small courtyard with two courtyards at most.

"Let's buy a smaller one first," Liu Yu said, tugging at Chi Xing's sleeve.

Chi Xing nodded in agreement. They might not necessarily live in Yong'an County forever. Even if they did live here permanently in the future, they could still move to a larger courtyard.

Following the broker's assistant, they arrived at the north of the city.

"Our place is close to the academy, so if we have children in the future, they can go there to study directly," the man said with a smile.

Following him through a maze of twists and turns, they finally arrived at a small alley. The alley entrance was small, and once inside, the courtyard was much smaller than Chixing had imagined.

The shop assistant explained, "It's closer to the college, so the prices are a bit higher here."

Once inside the courtyard, there is only a well, two side rooms and a kitchen on either side of the main hall, and several rear rooms through an archway.

Such a small courtyard was priced at four hundred taels of silver.

Chi Xing shook his head without hesitation and said, "This place won't do, it's too small. We don't need to be near the academy. Do you have any bigger ones? Something around the same price will do."

The man thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "There really is one, but it's in the south of the city, quite far from the bustling city center."

"Let's go take a look first," said Akahoshi.

The group then went to the south of the city, where most of the shops sold cloth, jewelry, and other items for women and dolls. The streets were filled with women and boys.

Seeing the familiar street, Liu Yu said to Chi Xing, "My mother used to come here to sell embroidery."

Liu Guihua was a skilled embroiderer, but later they became so poor that they couldn't even afford cloth and embroidery thread, so Liu Guihua stopped doing embroidery and instead went to the foot of the mountain to dig up medicinal herbs to sell.

Looking at the peaceful street, with county officials patrolling from time to time, this area is probably safe.

Continue walking along the street until you reach the corner of an empty shop, then keep going.

Akahoshi glanced at the shop and casually asked, "What's wrong with this shop?"

The shop assistant glanced at it, smiled, and said, "Oh, this used to be a bookstore. But it's too far from the North City Academy, so students rarely come here. It closed down after a few years."

Akahoshi nodded without saying anything.

After walking two or three hundred meters, we arrived at the gate of the courtyard. The gate of this courtyard was even larger than the previous one.

Upon entering, to the right are two jujube trees that are slightly taller than the wall, with a few jujubes scattered on them.

Liu Yu's gaze was instantly drawn to the jujube tree, a scene that caught the eye of Chi Xing.

The front yard looked quite large, with the main hall in the middle, three side rooms on the left, and the kitchen connected to the dining room on the right. There was a well in front of the kitchen, and the outhouse was separated by two storage rooms.

Akahoshi will have someone renovate this outhouse; he simply can't stand it anymore.

The backyard garden is full of flowers and plants. We can dig them up and plant some vegetables. There are four rooms in the back, and there is a round arched wall in front of the rooms, which provides some privacy from the garden.

This place is far superior to the courtyard in the north of the city.

The price remained at four hundred taels, but Chixing continued to bargain, and finally settled on three hundred and seventy taels.

There's no other way; Akahoshi is no longer the young master he once was, so we need to save money.
