Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

When Chi Xing came out, he saw Nan Yu standing there in a daze, and the people who were discussing things not far away were still laughing when they saw him come out.

"Are you talking badly about me again?"

He turned to Nan Yu and complained, "Nan Yu, don't believe what they say. They're all scoundrels, they're up to no good."

The group burst into unison laughter: "Oh, oh, oh, we're all... stinky men..."

“That’s right, I’m the only one who’s clean, Ayu, isn’t that right?” Chixing stuck to Nanyu’s side and ignored them.

"Hmm." Despite her doubts, Nan Yu still smiled at Chi Xing.

He told himself that no matter who Xingxing liked or who she ended up with, he would never make things difficult for her.

At worst, he can spend his whole life standing behind the stars.

We made a promise when we were kids that he would take care of Xingxing for the rest of his life, so how could he change his mind just because he fell in love with someone else?

As the group left, Chi Xing habitually sat in the passenger seat next to Nan Yu.

"Brother Xing, can I come with you guys?" Wang Xiaoke opened the car door, sat in the back seat, and kept muttering to himself.

"They're so annoying, they're always making fun of my height." He doesn't want to be short either.

The average height on the basketball team is over 185cm, but he, as a support staff member, only reaches 175cm and doesn't grow any taller.

Unfortunately, the tallest, Wen Chi, is already 190cm, and even Chi Xing is 187cm. The more Wang Xiaoke thought about it, the more upset he became.

"Waaaa, I'm so short..."

Akahoshi laughed out loud and turned to comfort him, "It's okay, maybe some people just like short people. Your height is actually quite popular."

These words seemed to have a hidden meaning. Nan Yu looked at Chi Xing's eyes as she looked at others, and felt a strange pang of sadness.

Noticing that Chixing wasn't wearing a seatbelt, Nanyu stretched out her long arm and moved closer to Chixing.

Just then, Chi Xing turned his head and his soft lips touched Nan Yu's face.

His heart pounded, making his chest pound. Nan Yu met Chi Xing's slightly stunned expression, but as if nothing had happened, he said:

"fasten your seatbelt."

"Huh? Oh, good."

Wang Xiaoke, sitting in the back seat, was fastening his seatbelt and didn't notice what was happening; he was still muttering to himself.

"Would he really like my type? Xing-ge, if it were you, could you accept a boyfriend who's so much shorter than you?"

Fasten your seatbelt and drive normally.

Chi Xing licked his dry lips, his gaze lingering on Nan Yu's well-defined hands, the hands gripping the steering wheel—how could they be so beautiful?

His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily; he hadn't quite heard Wang Xiaoke's words, so he replied casually:

"Yes, someone will definitely like you."

Nan Yu gripped the steering wheel tighter, unable to help but compare herself to Wang Xiaoke.

Both he and Wang Xiaoke are from the South. To be precise, only his mother is from the South, and Nan Yu inherited more of his mother's height than the genes of people from the North.

In addition, he had a difficult childhood and had leg problems, so he is only 178 cm tall now.

But if Xingxing really likes someone like Wang Xiaoke, regardless of personality or anything else, Nanyu is completely opposite to him.

Nan Yu was always a man of few words. He only answered a few words when Chi Xing asked him questions along the way. Otherwise, he just listened to Chi Xing and Wang Xiaoke talking.

After the group arrived at the private room on the second floor and ordered their food, Nan Yu went to prepare the dipping sauce for Chi Xing. When she returned, she found the group joking around.

“Brother Yu, you spoil Chi Xing too much. Look at how smug he is.”

Everyone had a dipping saucer in their hand, but Akahoshi sat there waiting for Nanyu, looking smug.

"Heh, my Ayu just loves to spoil me."

Wen Chi: "Naive. I'm not envious at all."

"Here it is, here it is. You don't eat spicy food, so I made it for you." Wang Xiaoke casually placed a dish of dipping sauce in front of Wen Chi.

Wen Chi immediately challenged Chi Xing: "Hey, in our team, Xiao Ke is the best."

"It's for your own good. He specially prepared this for you." Akahoshi's eyes darted back and forth between the two of them.

The others immediately exclaimed in realization, "Oh, I see!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wen Chi quickly distanced himself, practically ready to write a guarantee:

"Wang Xiaoke and I are really fine, please don't misunderstand."

Chi Xing glanced at Wang Xiaoke, who had just been blushing but had now lowered her head, and shook her head helplessly.

[No way, Xiao Wu, didn't you say they were the main characters?]

250 (user name) says helplessly: [This will drag on for a long time, and Wang Xiaoke will meet the second male lead. Wen Chi's family will also arrange blind dates for him; they've always wanted him to find a girl, but Wen Chi hasn't yet realized he likes boys.]

Akahoshi sighed and started grilling meat on the grill in front of him.

Vegetables wrapped around grilled meat were offered to his mouth, but Nan Yu snatched his chopsticks away, saying, "You rest, I'll do it."

Akahoshi devoured the grilled meat in one bite, her eyes crinkling with laughter: "Thank you, Ayu, you're the best."

He nuzzled his head against Nan Yu's shoulder, making the others' teeth ache. If they hadn't watched the two of them grow up and gotten used to Nan Yu taking care of him like this, they would have suspected that they were dating.

Completely ignoring their stares, Chi Xing accepted Nan Yu's feeding with a clear conscience, and he would also feed Nan Yu the meat he had cooked.

"How can you eat barbecue without drinking? Come on, two cans each, no one is allowed to refuse." Zhang Lin had two cases of beer brought over.

Nan Yu raised her hand: "I have to drive, so I won't drink."

Zhang Lin placed four jars of liquor in front of Chi Xing: "Chi Xing, drink them, and none of you will escape."

Four cans were considered a small amount for them, and no one would think there was anything wrong with it.

However, after downing two cans of beer, Akahoshi's vision began to blur, and he mumbled, "Ayu, I miss you so much."

Nan Yu: ...

Wasn't he always right there beside me?

The others laughed at him, saying, "We always said he couldn't hold his liquor, and it really is! Is he drunk?"

This was the first time Akahoshi had ever drunk with someone, and his alcohol tolerance was so poor, which was quite unexpected.

"I won't drink the rest."

He put one arm around Akahoshi's waist and used the other to feel his forehead: "Do you feel like throwing up?"

Akahoshi shook her head, her big eyes brimming with tears, and her voice tinged with the smell of alcohol: "I don't want to throw up, I miss you."

The last two words were almost murmured, and Nan Yu didn't quite hear them. From the other side of the table came the sound of Wang Xiaoke and Wen Chi playing a drinking game.

Zhang Lin had a high alcohol tolerance and kept pouring himself drinks while playing dice with the others.

250 floated in mid-air and poked Akahoshi: [Your Highness, are you really drunk?]

With a wave of her hand, Akahoshi sent the transparent kitten flying: "Don't bother me."

He could vaguely make out Nan Yu's face, and then gave her a bear hug: "A Yu."

Nan Yu sighed, "Is Xingxing full? Or shall we go home?"

"Yeah, let's go home. It's too noisy here." Akahoshi doesn't like loud noise.

"That's so noisy, it's driving me crazy."

Nan Yu told Zhang Lin to have someone from their family come to pick her up before taking Chi Xing out.

Chi Xing was only a little blurry-eyed, not yet unable to walk, but he insisted on holding Nan Yu's hand.

After paying the bill, Nan Yu led Chi Xing to the underground parking lot.

He turned around, and Chi Xing hugged him again, the tall man almost completely enveloping Nan Yu.

"Xingxing, you're not a child anymore." Nan Yu appeared calm, but her heart rate was actually rising steadily.
