Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely

After returning home, Yu Nuan's life continued as usual. The only difference was that she wrote to her younger brother, Li Yuyang, more frequently, as he often sought her advice through letters. Knowing that her brother was listening to her and studying diligently, Yu Nuan became even more attentive, sending him notes and summaries of key points every month. Knowing his sister's concern for his studies, Li Yuyang also became even more dedicated.

Autumn has arrived, and everywhere is a scene of harvest.

Shen Chenyi suddenly came to Yu Nuan's door and said, "My parents are here and want to see you."

"Ah! So sudden, I wasn't prepared at all." Yu Nuan felt the timidity of an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws.

"No need to prepare anything. You're so wonderful, my parents will definitely like you," Shen Chenyi reassured Yu Nuan. Holding Yu Nuan's hand, he said with unwavering determination, "Yu Nuan, from the moment we got together, I knew you were the one. You're the one I'll spend my life with."

"But... okay! Where are your uncle and aunt now?"

"My dad came in a hurry this time because of work. They were originally going to come directly to our door, but I was afraid it would scare you, so we'll just have a meal at the National Restaurant in town tomorrow. How does that sound?"

Shen Chenyi was thinking of Yu Nuan's best interests at all, so how could Yu Nuan possibly have any objections? "Okay, but wouldn't it be impolite not to invite your uncle and aunt over?"

"It's okay, they're all pretty busy with work. This time it's because my dad is here for work, and my mom wants to meet her future daughter-in-law. You, the ugly daughter-in-law, will eventually have to meet your in-laws," Shen Chenyi said jokingly.

"You said I'm ugly." No girl can stand being told she's ugly, especially by her boyfriend. Yu Nuan was so angry she wanted to hit him.

Shen Chenyi found Yu Nuan's huffy expression adorable and chuckled, pinching her puffed-up cheeks. "Alright, I was just kidding. You're the most beautiful in my heart."

The next day, when Shen Chenyi picked up Yu Nuan and brought her to the state-run restaurant, Shen Chenyi's parents were already sitting there waiting for Yu Nuan.

"Mom and Dad, this is my girlfriend, Yu Nuan," Shen Chenyi introduced Yu Nuan to his parents.

"This is Yu Nuan! She's really beautiful. You're such a lucky boy." Mother Shen warmly pulled Yu Nuan to sit down, looking at her carefully. The more she looked, the more pleased she became.

"Hello, Uncle and Aunt." Yu Nuan greeted them while glancing at Shen Chenyi's parents. Shen's father looked very much like Shen Chenyi; when they came together, they were clearly father and son. Perhaps because they were both soldiers, they shared a similar demeanor. After Yu Nuan entered, they tried to appear less serious. Shen's mother was a beautiful and elegant woman; Yu Nuan could tell that she must have been a great beauty in her youth.

"Alright, Yu Nuan, don't be shy. As for your uncle, he's just that kind of person. He looks strict, but he's actually very easy to get along with. See what you'd like to eat."

"Auntie, anything is fine with me." Finally, at Mrs. Shen's enthusiastic invitation, she ordered two dishes she liked. Because restaurants in town rarely entertain important guests, the chefs quickly served the food, seeing how generous Mrs. Shen and her party were.

After the meal, Mr. and Mrs. Shen were about to return to Beijing. Yu Nuan saw them off to their car; Mr. Shen's father, being of a certain level, had his own private car.

"Yu Nuan, when you have time in the future, let Xiao Yi bring you to Beijing for fun."

"Okay, I'll definitely go when I have time. Uncle and Aunt, please drive carefully."

"Xiao Yi, take good care of Yu Nuan."

"I know, Mom. Be careful on your way."

Autumn turned to winter, and Yu Nuan watched the snowflakes falling outside while inside the house was warm and cozy. This was Yu Nuan's second winter here. Time really flies.

Yu Nuan looked at Shen Chenyi beside her and remembered that last year, she had a warm winter because of his help.

"What's wrong?" Shen Chenyi asked when he saw Yu Nuan staring at him without saying anything.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about last year when I was worried about the coal problem, and you helped me buy it. Do you think you already liked me back then?" Yu Nuan still remembered that it was early winter when Shen Chenyi, whom she hadn't contacted for a long time, suddenly came to her door and, without saying a word, hauled a truckload of coal into her yard.

Shen Chenyi said nothing, only ruffled her hair and smiled indulgently. Actually, Zhang Xi was right; he had fallen for Yu Nuan the moment he first saw her. But back then, he never believed in love at first sight. Yu Nuan's reappearance forced him to admit that he was truly smitten. Everything that followed was the result of his long-planned scheme.

"Yu Nuan, let's get married!" Without flowers or a ring, Shen Chenyi proposed to Yu Nuan by the glowing fireplace. "Now I know I can't give you a grand wedding, but I promise I'll treat you well from now on." Shen Chenyi suddenly had a strong desire to start a family with Yu Nuan; none of this was planned.

Yu Nuan stared intently at Shen Chenyi. They had been together for a year and known each other for a year and a half. Although Shen Chenyi's military duties had limited his time to be with Yu Nuan, she could see his efforts—his constant search for time to spend with her, offering her all the help and care she needed. After Yu Nuan agreed to be with him, Shen Chenyi gave her all his salary to manage, doing everything he could to provide her with a sense of security and happiness. Yu Nuan felt she had no reason to refuse.

"Okay!"

Shen Chenyi thought Yu Nuan's silence for so long meant she didn't agree, and he was prepared to keep trying. He never expected Yu Nuan to agree. Overwhelmed with joy, Shen Chenyi was so excited he could hardly speak. He hugged Yu Nuan tightly, repeatedly saying, "Yu Nuan, I love you." This was the first time Shen Chenyi had expressed his feelings so directly.

"Shen Chenyi, I love you too. Thank you."

Afterwards, Shen Chenyi told everyone around him that he was getting married, sharing his joy.

Shen Chenyi called his parents to tell them the news, and his mother was overjoyed. "This is wonderful! Your father and I can finally hold our grandson!"

"Mom, Yu Nuan wants the wedding to be simple, just a small banquet at the military base. The family housing I applied for is finished, and we can move in soon. Do you and Dad have time to attend the wedding?"

“We will definitely be there at the wedding, but it would be unfair to Yu Nuan if we just had a simple ceremony. Besides, what do Yu Nuan’s parents think? They raised their daughter with so much care, and they can’t let her suffer. Listen to me, you two will have the wedding in Beijing. Your dad and I will take care of everything. You and Yu Nuan should go and visit your future in-laws first.”

Shen Chenyi agreed with his mother's words, "Alright, I'll discuss it with Yu Nuan."

After hanging up the phone, Shen's mother began discussing the details of the wedding with Shen's father, including who the guests would be. Shen's father was also very enthusiastic; it was his only son's wedding, and even though he was very busy with work, he was personally involved in everything.
