Turned out I am a Scheming Little Cannon Fodder

Shen Ruo watched the hover car go away. When it was out of sight, he looked away. He couldn't help but feel a little sad and timid. He was unfamiliar with everything here.

Dejected, Shen Ruo looked silent, because his slightly longer bangs sometimes even made him look a little gloomy, and now.

"Haijing Pavilion has a new batch of seafood produced in Niguer Star. It just arrived in the morning. I will take you there at noon to try the craftsmanship there."

Chu Xiao's voice suddenly sounded. Shen Ruo, who had just walked into the manor gate, raised his head and turned to look for Chu Xiao's direction.

He was leaning on the wall next to the door, looking at Shen Ruo with a gentle smile on his lips, obviously wanting to comfort him.

Shen Ruo remembered that on the evening of the first day, he said the dinner was delicious, and Chu Xiao said there would be better ones.

In fact, in the Chu family, everything was planned, but yesterday I stayed all day long.

Last night's dinner was the second meal they had together after Chu Xiao came back from school. There was a dish of Hezhe crystal shrimp, which Shen Ruo had never seen before.

Chu Xiao, who was standing by, taught him how to peel off the shell in one go. The crystal-clear shrimp meat inside was intact, and the shrimp shell was not damaged. After the shells were arranged neatly, they even looked the same as before, except that the meat was gone. The head, shrimp and tail are all there.

The Hezhe Crystal Shrimp had a red stripe running across the middle of the shrimp meat. Chu Xiao used his sweet magnetic voice to tell him that only the upper half could be eaten.

The shrimp meat is raw, but extremely fresh and sweet.

Shen Ruo carefully peeled one off, but it was still not as good as Chu Xiao's. He was a little embarrassed because his hands were stained with broken shrimp shells and meat. Compared with Chu Xiao's clean and tidy ones, he looked dirty.

Unexpectedly, Chu Xiao put the peeled shrimp meat into his dinner plate. The knuckles of his fingers were long and strong, clean and without any residue.

"I couldn't peel it well before, so it was all over the table and hands. You did a great job."

After saying that, Chu Xiao thoughtfully took the small square towel and gestured to Shen Ruo to wipe his hands. The action was very natural, without any dislike, considerate and gentle.

All his words and actions were taken care of Shen Ruo and would not embarrass him in the slightest.

So when facing Chu Xiao, Shen Ruo felt very fond of him even though they had only known him for three days.

Chu Xiao is very good, not at all like the arrogant and domineering young masters he has seen in movies and TV dramas. He is kind, considerate, a gentleman, and a well-educated noble man.

If Shen Ruo could think of words to praise a man, he felt that almost all of them could be used on Chu Xiao.

Seeing Chu Xiao walking over from the other side of the wall, Shen Ruo curled her lips and revealed a shallow smile.

But the emotion shown in his eyebrows and eyes was obvious. He was sad, and his smile was not happy. It was different from the smile Chu Xiao had seen before.

"If we go now, the time will be just right."

Chu Xiao stood two or three steps away from Shen Ruo, not too far away, leaving the space he deserved.

Shen Ruo was puzzled. It was only after eight o'clock now. He had just had breakfast not long ago, and there was still half a day before lunch.

Shen Ruo's fair and delicate face was full of doubts, her eyebrows were wrinkled with worry, his eyebrows were lighter, and his mouth was slightly open.

Chu Xiao smiled, his handsome brows full of smiles, his laughter was low and sweet, as if he was amused by Shen Ruo's appearance.

Even with a frown, Shen Ruo looked very well-behaved, but...

Chu Xiao looked at the broken hair on his forehead. His bangs were too long. He usually walked with his head down, blocking his beautiful eyes.

Shen Ruo was not bad looking. Chu Xiao knew it the first time he saw him. He even had a good figure. Surprisingly, he suited his eyes very well.

"You come to Emperor Star, and you haven't walked around outside yet, I will take you there."

Chu Xiao looked at Shen Ruo and said, Jun's face kept smiling.

Seeing Shen Ruo blinking, his long eyelashes seemed to sweep over his heart like a small brush, causing a vague itch.

Chu Xiao lowered his head with a smile and looked away. He turned on the optical brain and clicked a few random fingers on the light screen that popped up. The garage of the manor automatically opened and a very low-key car drove over.

Shen Ruo didn't recognize the brand of this car, but he knew that the car Chu Xiao could drive was not an ordinary car.

The car that drove by on its own stopped next to the two of them, and Chu Xiao opened the passenger door for Shen Ruo, very gentlemanly.

After getting in the car, the seat belt popped up automatically. Shen Ruo looked down at the seat belt around his waist and hesitated for a moment. After seeing Chu Xiao also getting in the car, he finally said, "Aren't you going to class today?"

Xin Xin's doubtful tone made Chu Xiao, who had just sat in the driver's seat, pause, and his whole body froze for a moment.

However, he soon regained his composure, his driving movements were smooth, and he drove steadily out of the Duke's Palace.

At the same time, he also opened his mouth to explain, and the magnetic sound was extremely gentle, as if the pause just now didn't happen at all.

"Graduation is approaching and classes are almost over. It's time to take you out for a walk."

Chu Xiao's tone was natural, and Shen Ruo didn't know the specific situation of his school, so he nodded to indicate that he knew, believed Chu Xiao's words, and smiled at Chu Xiao.

He turned his head and looked straight ahead and continued driving. When he saw some buildings outside the car window, Chu Xiao pointed at them casually and motioned to Shen Ruo to look at them. He used the magnetic sound to introduce what they were to Shen Ruo.

Knowing that Chu Xiao was very good, Shen Ruo listened carefully and was afraid that letting Chu Xiao talk alone would make things cold. Occasionally, she would ask him a few questions.

In fact, Shen Ruo asked about things that were common in Emperor Star, but he had never seen them before. When Chu Xiao turned his head occasionally, he saw Shen Ruo opening his eyes and looking out of the glass curiously.

When he spoke, his voice was not loud, but his pronunciation was very good, without an accent, and his tone was soft. When he looked at him, his eyes were soft, as clear and clean as if there were broken stars hidden in his moist eyes.

So even if it was something boring to Chu Xiao, he would patiently tell Shen Ruo what it was. Even Chu Xiao himself didn't know what was going on.

Compared to the public floating train that circled the imperial capital, Chu Xiao's drive to the central area was much faster. It only took forty minutes, and the car drove very smoothly.

After getting out of the car, Shen Ruo suddenly realized that Chu Xiao was two months younger than him. Did he have a driver's license

But he also thought that Chu Xiao might have passed the driver's license when he was sixteen, otherwise he wouldn't have driven him here.

Because Chu Xiao had a good impression in his heart, Shen Ruo stopped thinking about these things that shouldn't concern him and looked up at the commercial city where Chu Xiao had brought him.

The entire city is a commercial area with various high-rise buildings, which is very beautiful.

There was also a virtual singer who walked out of the huge screen on a high building, so realistic that if she wasn't standing in the air, she would almost be thought to be a real person.

There is a large flow of people here, singing and human voices intermingle, and it is very lively.

There were people wearing all kinds of clothes, some were elegant and decent, and some were very exaggerated. Shen Ruo looked around, everything was new to him.

In Cross Star, there is not such a large commercial area, only a few streets, and the clothes are not as bold as the people here, whether in color or style.

Some women and demi-humans wore very revealing attires. After Shen Ruo saw it, he naturally looked away without stopping, and he didn't feel anything was wrong. Everyone is free to wear whatever they like, as long as they like it. good.

"This is entrance A. Anyone can come in regardless of their status. It is the most crowded and lively place."

Chu Xiao opened his mouth and walked inside with Shen Ruo.

"If you think it's too noisy here, I'll take you to Area C."

Turning to look at Shen Ruo, Chu Xiaojun had a smile on his face.

"It's very good here." Shen Ruo also went to see Chu Xiao, and the sadness in his eyebrows dissipated a little.

His eyes were full of curiosity, and all the anxiety and uneasiness were gradually forgotten by him because of this lively environment.

"Okay then, just hang around here."

When Chu Xiao saw that he liked him, he stopped saying anything and followed Shen Ruo.

A very young boy was riding on a flying board and flew over from the opposite side. He was wearing a peaked cap and had a handsome posture, which was quite eye-catching. Shen Ruo took another look at him.

Unexpectedly, a dozen boys came from behind, all riding cool flying boards.

The leader used his computer to play music, and a dozen boys stood on the flying board and danced.

No one around was surprised. Some girls and Asians even took photos of the most handsome boy in the front.

After watching for a while, the dance ended quickly, and Shen Ruo subconsciously clapped along with the onlookers.

In fact, there was not much applause, but it was enough for a dozen young boys to smile brightly, and then dispersed on the flying board.

"Very lively."

After watching the program while standing on the street, the smile on Shen Ruo's face was obviously bigger. He turned to Chu Xiao and smiled happily, his soft voice tinged with laughter.

Chu Xiao looked at Shen Ruo and suddenly remembered the sweet toffee he had eaten when he was a child.

The sweet taste has always penetrated into his heart. When he grew up, he rarely ate sweets and forgot the taste, but now, he remembered it.

"As long as you like it, there are more lively places up here."

Chu Xiao pointed to a building not far away and said, with a gentle smile on his young and handsome face. He looked at Shen Ruo and looked serious when he spoke.

"good."

Shen Ruo nodded and followed Chu Xiao that way.

As he walked forward, he glanced at Chu Xiao next to him.

In fact, Chu Xiao is not much different from the boys just now. He is still a big boy who is not yet an adult.

It's just that he behaves in a gentle and gentlemanly manner, and is stable enough. Especially when he is wearing a suit and is tall and thin, people rarely associate him with those boys wearing peaked caps dancing on the street. At least if Shen is Think so.

However, looking at Chu Xiao's chiseled and exquisite side face like this, he could see some youthful childishness. Shen Ruo smiled quietly. Also, Chu Xiao was younger than him. No matter how steady he was, he couldn't be that mature. , at least it can be seen from the appearance.

Chu Xiao didn't know what Shen Ruo was thinking when he quickly looked away, but he knew that Shen Ruo glanced at him.

I originally thought that he had something to ask, but to my surprise, Shen Ruo didn't say anything, and Chu Xiao didn't ask him either. He brought this newly grown-up demi-human from the planet Cross, who was also his marriage partner, to the only one who He knew where to go to sell demihuman clothes.
