Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Chi Xing and Liu Yu also encouraged her to do what she liked, and that it was okay if she didn't want to do it anymore someday.

And just like that, their family gained another source of income.

On the second day after Liu Yu arrived in the county town, he went to Tongji Medical Clinic in the west of the town to become an apprentice.

Yang Ji was the big boss of the clinic, and Liu Yu was not mistreated while learning from him.

He learned incredibly fast. When Yang Ji was teaching him to read, he discovered that Yang Ji had a photographic memory, which made Yang Ji teach him even more diligently, wishing he could immediately impart all the knowledge he had acquired in his life to him.

Within just one month, Liu Yu was able to sit and watch as Yang Ji began to diagnose patients.

Sometimes Yang Ji would have him take the patient's pulse first, and then he would take it himself, teaching him little by little.

The clinic quickly learned that Yang Ji had taken on a gifted apprentice, and even though he was a boy, no one dared to look down on him in the slightest.

During the day, Chi Xing would go hunting in the mountains near the county town. With his divine power, he was able to return home before dark every day.

He was always very lucky; the prey he hunted was either bought by restaurants or happened to be spotted and purchased by the steward of a wealthy family.

There are plenty of opportunities in big county towns; even pheasants and rabbits are in high demand.

Chixing just sold a large black bear today. The bear paws and hide were sold to wealthy families, and the remaining bear meat was consumed by large restaurants.

All things considered, he actually made a profit of nearly five hundred taels of silver.

With the money they earned from hunting during this period, they now have a thousand taels in hand.

That night, Chixing kept Liu Yu company as they studied late into the night.

"I still don't know enough characters." Liu Yu looked at the medical book that Chi Xing had bought in his hand.

In fact, many medicinal herbs have names that are not commonly used characters, so it's normal that Liu Yu doesn't recognize them.

But he has high standards for himself. He reads and practices calligraphy every night, and he also takes out some paper to write and draw.

Chixing guessed that he was making the health-preserving pills for the plot, which were made for Liu Guihua.

But he soon realized something was wrong. Akahoshi recognized the words on it, and some of them were clearly about treating scars.

Could it be that he...?

Thinking of a certain possibility, Akahoshi reached out and touched the scar on his face.

Suddenly, a soft, warm hand covered her.

Liu Yu put down her book at some point and sat on his lap.

"Husband, what are you thinking about?" Liu Yu asked, looking up at him.

They had lived together for so long, and kissing and hugging were common occurrences, but Chixing had never taken things any further; he wanted to wait until Liu Yu was old enough to understand.

But at this moment, Liu Yu's posture made Chi Xing's mind wander and his eyes darken.

"Ayu, this move is dangerous." His voice was hoarse.

Liu Yu tilted her head and frowned. It's just a hug, what danger could there be?

Besides, Akahoshi is right beside him, so how could he be in danger?

At that moment, Liu Yu smiled and kissed him on the lips. After the kiss, she hugged him tightly and whispered:

"like."

Liu Yu adored Chi Xing and wished she could hold him all the time.

Completely unaware that Akahoshi's body temperature had risen and even his breathing had become heavy.

"Are you sure?" Akahoshi asked.

Liu Yu pressed her face against Chi Xing's neck, smelling the soapberry scent on him, and nodded.

"You said it yourself!"

Before Liu Yu could nod again, Chi Xing suddenly picked him up and stood up, walking towards the bedside.

Liu Yu asked in confusion, "Are you asleep? But my handwriting..."

He wanted to say that he hadn't practiced his handwriting yet.

Before he could finish speaking, Akahoshi lowered her head and sealed his lips with a long, drawn-out kiss, unlike anything she had ever given him.

Liu Yu was dazed by the kisses and clung to Chi Xing's neck with both hands, but was quickly knocked down onto the bed by Chi Xing.

Before he could react, a barrage of kisses rained down on him, from his forehead to his cheeks, from his mouth to his neck. By the time Liu Yu realized the danger, his clothes were already gone.

Then, Chi Xing quickly took out a small jar of something from the cabinet, and Liu Yu heard the sound of a cork being pulled out of the jar.

Just as he was about to ask what it was, something icy cold appeared in his face... Liu Yu tried to dodge but was suddenly held down by Chi Xing.

“Sweetie, don’t be afraid, trust me.” Akahoshi’s voice was deep.

Before Liu Yu could think it through, another deep kiss followed. The intense heat traveled over his body, making him blush and tremble until he lost his last bit of consciousness.

The room was filled with a delicate fragrance of flowers and plants, and from time to time, indistinct sobbing sounds could be heard.

The candlelight flickered, casting overlapping shadows on the curtains until dawn.

……

Akahoshi was glad that she had decorated the house just right. After taking her son to the bathroom to wash up, she blew out the candles in the room.

Looking at his beloved's peaceful sleeping face, Akahoshi contentedly held him as he fell asleep.

*

in the afternoon.

The sun shone on the courtyard and shone into the room through the window.

Liu Yu opened his sore eyes. He didn't see that his eyes were red and swollen, obviously from crying a lot before going to bed.

Memories flooded back, and his cheeks burned. Last night, Akahoshi…

As if immersed in the feelings of last night, Liu Yu's eyes were somewhat dazed. Is this what husband and wife are supposed to do?

These days, Akahoshi has been gentle with him, and he was gentle last night too, but afterwards... he felt that Akahoshi was like a wild beast that had gone out of control, tireless.

It's actually quite...

Liu Yu suddenly realized what she was thinking, and in a fit of embarrassment and anger, she pulled the blanket up to cover her face.

Then an indescribable soreness came from a certain part of her body, and Liu Yu dared not move.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and Akahoshi walked in carrying food.

His eyes showed a hint of guilt, yet he felt responsible for his actions. However, last night, facing his bewildered husband, Akahoshi would probably go crazy if he had continued to tolerate it.

"Ayu, are you awake?" Akahoshi's voice was much gentler than usual.

He put his things on the table, walked over, and pulled back the blanket covering Liu Yu's face.

Liu Yu's flushed face was revealed, her eyes were closed, but her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Akahoshi lowered her head and kissed him on the lips, making a soft "pop" sound.

"You're no good!" Liu Yu couldn't help but open her eyes, looking at him with accusation in them.

Akahoshi laughed out loud at his cuteness and quickly tried to comfort him.

"Sweetie, don't do anything, it's time for you to get up and eat."

The smile caught Liu Yu's eye, and a sentence he had seen a few days ago suddenly flashed through his mind: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Given Chi Xing's current appearance, he would probably frighten people if he were outside, but at this moment, Liu Yu thought he was handsome in every way.

He nodded and was about to get out of bed when Akahoshi reached out and picked him up.

"Don't move, I'll carry you."

Liu Yu wasn't one to be pretentious; he really didn't want to move, so he had Chi Xing help him wash up and get dressed.

Their relationship progressed rapidly.
