(Quick Transmigration) Small Cannon Fodder Has Great Power

During the process of Gu Yunyun falling out of the wooden barrel and struggling to regain her legs in the basement, she had many abrasions. The more serious ones were the bruises on her elbows and the wounds on her forearms caused by the fall and the friction as she crawled forward.

Vincent carefully changed her dressing, gently wrapping it with clean white gauze, and tying a knot with his long, beautiful fingers.

“You’ve saved me twice,” Vincent suddenly said.

Gu Yunyun's gaze shifted from her bandaged arm to him.

“If I had died this time because of the trouble I caused, it wouldn’t have been so unfair. But Wallis and the others were almost implicated because of me…” He let out a long breath, as if releasing all the pent-up frustration of the past few days. “Thank goodness you’re here. From now on, if you need me, my life is yours.”

Gu Yunyun tilted her head to look at his expression, then suddenly reached out and gently patted his head. Although he was smiling the whole time, she could sense that Vincent had been feeling quite guilty and under a lot of pressure lately.

Vincent looked surprised for a moment, but then, seeing the comforting look in Gu Yunyun's eyes and gestures, he slowly relaxed and smiled.

Gu Yunyun had already changed into the new dress Eileen had prepared for her. The fresh and soft lemon-yellow dress was made of soft fabric, and the hem was decorated with small lace. She saw Vincent finally take off his mask and reveal a genuine smile, and she happily sat on the high stool, swinging her bare little feet.

Vincent bent down and picked up the cardboard box at his feet. Under Gu Yunyun's curious gaze, he opened it and found a pair of exquisitely crafted white leather sandals, adorned with a few pearls, both cute and elegant.

Gu Yunyun's eyes lit up, "Beautiful..."

Vincent picked up a small leather shoe. Gu Yunyun was about to take it when she saw him bend down and felt his warm hand grasp her ankle. She subconsciously tucked her toes in.

“I saw these shoes in a shop window and thought they would suit you perfectly.” He said, putting the shoes on one of Gu Yunyun’s feet, then supporting her small foot with one hand and carefully fastening the shoelaces with the other.

His fingers occasionally brushed against her feet, making her feel a little ticklish and inexplicably shy. Vincent then helped her put on the other shoe. With both shoes on, Vincent's gaze shifted from the small leather shoes to Gu Yunyun's still somewhat dazed face. "They look very nice."

"……Thanks."

"My pleasure."

Gu Yunyun suddenly thought, "How...how did you know my shoe size?"

Vincent smiled and said, "I couldn't help but peek when I carried you into the car." He held out his hand, bent his fingers, and gestured from his palm upwards, "You're only about the size of my knuckle." He couldn't help but tease her again, exclaiming dramatically, "You're so adorable."

Gu Yunyun suddenly felt a bit of congestion in her lower limbs, and her fair toes quietly turned pink.

···

The coming-of-age banquet for the twins was held by a branch of the Warren family, whose male head inherited the title of viscount.

The orchestra audition went smoothly. Vincent's superb piano playing and Gu Yunyun's beautiful and melodious singing amazed everyone present, and they were immediately allowed to stay at the Viscount's mansion until the end of the performance.

Gu Yunyun was very surprised. These days, a fraudster needs to have such a high level of artistic knowledge. It's true that no job is easy.

The Viscount's mansion is not only safer, but also offers excellent conditions, providing Vincent with a good environment for recuperation.

"I've heard that the Viscount had a female ancestor who was a princess of noble birth, who left behind an exquisite sapphire jewelry..."

"Vincent, you're still feeling weak and you're already thinking about the next deal?" Eileen said helplessly, swirling the wine glass in her hand.

"Haha, the ancestral jewelry left by Her Highness the Princess must be priceless!" Wallis slammed down his beer glass with a loud bang.

"Keep your voice down, Wallis. We're in the Viscount's mansion right now," Colm said, looking up from the sound effects of the game console.

"Ahem, I got it. But these guest rooms are pretty secluded, so no one should come here to eavesdrop... Okay, okay, I got it, I'll be careful."

Gu Yunyun listened to the lively conversation while enjoying the nuts and snacks provided by the Viscount's mansion. Vincent sat next to her, peeling a nut and placing it on the plate in front of her. After finishing her own nut, Gu Yunyun watched him peel more, having grown somewhat accustomed to being fed by him.

Vincent seemed to have a particular fondness for feeding her. Whenever others wanted to feed Gu Yunyun, he would always manage to conveniently send them away so he could do it himself. Gradually, Vincent took over the task of feeding the siren.

The day of the banquet arrived quickly, and the group put on formal attire.

Gu Yunyun wore an ice-blue off-shoulder dress. The puffy skirt was gorgeous and flowing as she walked, and when she turned slightly, it looked like ripples on water or floating and rolling clouds. She also wore a pair of shiny silver high heels. Her hair was in an exquisite updo adorned with small pearl flowers, and her jewelry was also mainly made of pearls.

"Wow! System, can you take a few more screenshots for me? I'm dying of self-admiration!" Gu Yunyun excitedly tugged at her skirt and kept looking at herself in the mirror.

The system silently rolled its eyes and, as instructed, snapped a series of screenshots from various angles.

"Nervous?" Vincent, dressed in a white tuxedo, was elegant and charming, drawing the attention of almost all the women backstage.

"It's alright." Her past experiences in different worlds had given her plenty of stage experience. She scratched her face, trying to remember when was the last time she was on stage? It felt like a lifetime ago.

In that dimension, the young man's face flashed through his mind. After each departure from that dimension and the extraction of emotions and partial memories, the young man's face had become blurred in his memory. Only that doting and affectionate gaze left a trace in his heart.

"What are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought."

"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered someone I used to know. Ah, are we about to go on stage?" Gu Yunyun's speech was now mostly coherent, though her pace was a little slower.

"Okay, let's go over there." Vincent stopped Gu Yunyun and called the others to go to the waiting area together.

When it was Gu Yunyun's turn to go on stage, the venue was completely dark, with only the bright beams of light from the stage focusing all the audience's attention on this spot.

With the siren's night vision, Gu Yunyun could clearly see a noblewoman sitting in the main seat below the stage, as well as a pair of handsome twin boys, but she did not see the male master of the viscount's mansion.

The performance was a piece of cake for Gu Yunyun and Vincent. Eileen and Com provided simple accompaniment, while the big Wallis stood on the side of the stage with a triangle that was no bigger than his palm. He looked miserable and would tap it every now and then, basically just going through the motions. Gu Yunyun tried her best not to look at him to avoid laughing.

With the racial advantage of a siren's voice, the moment she opened her mouth, the entire noisy venue fell silent. Only after the song ended and there was a moment of silence did thunderous applause erupt.

Unlike the others, the two twins in the front row didn't seem overwhelmed with excitement. Their clapping remained reserved and arrogant, but their gazes as they observed Gu Yunyun betrayed their interest. The two brothers exchanged a knowing glance, lost in thought.

After the performance, it was time for the ball. The performers were also generously allowed by the hosts to participate in the subsequent banquet and celebrate the two young masters' birthdays together.

Gu Yunyun couldn't dance, but she was more interested in the food at the banquet. Thinking to herself, "Anyway, I'm a nobody and nobody will pay attention to me," she rushed into the food area as soon as she entered the venue after her performance, excitedly circling around the flowers like a little bee.

But aside from her stunningly beautiful singing voice, which was a rare find, Gu Yunyun's appearance alone was enough to attract attention. As soon as she entered the venue, she had already aroused the interest of many male guests who wanted to win her favor.

Vincent politely declined the women who were attracted to his dazzling appearance and temperament, and hurriedly came to find Gu Yunyun.

"Huh? Aren't you going to dance?" Gu Yunyun asked in surprise, holding a small plate.

Vincent raised an eyebrow slightly and rolled his eyes. "Ah, I'm a little hungry."

"Hehe," Gu Yunyun whispered excitedly in his ear, "The food at the Viscount's mansion is really delicious!"

Vincent felt her warm breath on his neck, a tickle running from his heart to his fingertips, and he couldn't help but curl his fingers slightly. He leaned down and whispered to her, "Shall we eat here secretly?"

"Great minds think alike, hehehe~"

Vincent watched her ecstatic expression, like a squirrel that had hoarded a hole full of nuts, and couldn't help but smile along. The doting look in his eyes was the envy of the women around them, making them wish they could take her place. However, the way the two seemed so familiar and engaged in such a pleasant conversation made it difficult for the men and women who wanted to strike up a conversation to disturb them.

Although they were supposed to eat together, Gu Yunyun did most of the eating, while Vincent considerately helped her get what she wanted to eat and protected her from behind the whole way.

"I haven't eaten this well in ages..." Gu Yunyun felt that her corset was even tighter after eating her way through the food. She should have just asked Eileen to loosen it up a bit more. What a blunder.

"Have you eaten enough? Want to go dancing?"

"I can't."

“It’s okay, I can teach you to dance, trust me.” Vincent extended his hand in an inviting gesture and winked at her. “It’ll be a lot of fun.”

"Okay." Gu Yunyun placed her hand on his and stepped onto the dance floor. "I hope it won't be too difficult..."

Vincent looked down at the babbling girl in his arms, a slightly roguish smile curving his lips—a smile Gu Yunyun knew all too well, the smile that always appeared whenever he had a bad idea.

Suddenly, Gu Yunyun felt a tightness around her waist, and at the same time, her hand, which was being held, was lifted upwards. She cried out in surprise as her whole body was lifted off the ground. The next second, her feet landed on Vincent's feet.

"Oh dear!" She tried to get down, but her waist was hooked and she couldn't back down.

"I told you I'd teach you how to dance."
