After Transmigrating into a Book, I Have an Entire Family of Cannon Fodder

Needless to say, Qi Xingchen’s method was very effective. In the morning, there were more people who bought the expensive products than the cheap ones. Moreover, due to the curiosity of the consumers, the overall sales were several times higher than before.

Old Tie felt a little apologetic and pulled Qi Xingchen aside. “Xing Xing, do you think we are deceiving people by doing this?”

To be honest, although Old Tie’s ironware was worth a lot of money, this sales method was really not sincere. Qi Xingchen nodded.

Old Tie discussed, “Then can we change the method in the afternoon?”

Old Tie was an honest person, and Qi Xingchen naturally did not want to forcibly turn him into a profiteer. Little Tie was next to him, and Qi Xingchen hoped that he could also learn to be kind.

Under Old Tie’s request, everyone changed the promotion method in the afternoon. Qi Xingchen picked up his old profession and threw pots and pans all over the ground. Tao Tao and Liu Ziyu smiled sweeter than the other, and many young men were so fascinated that they bought a few more pots.

Later, someone recognized Bai Ye, and everything in the booth was swept away. The day’s task was successfully completed. Everyone sat in the empty cart, patted their waists and sang along the way.

Back at the Zeng family’s courtyard, Director Zhao gathered everyone together and took stock of the day’s situation.

“Everyone did a good job on the first task, so I won’t beat around the bush. Now, I’ll announce the reward for the first task: a PASS card! ”

“When there is a task that you think is difficult to complete or that you don’t want to complete, you can use the PASS card to pass directly. The reward is: 1.”

Hearing the PASS card, the guests were overjoyed, but when they heard that there was only one slot, everyone wailed in unison, “There are seven of us!”

“Hehe, there’s only one PASS card anyway, you guys can distribute it however you want. I’m leaving ~” Director Zhao was afraid of being beaten up, so he threw the card down and left.

There was no other way, participating in other people’s programs meant that they could only abide by their rules. Zhang Yunfei clapped his hands and said helplessly, “Having a card is better than not having one. How about this, I’ll say who I think should get the card, and everyone will raise their hands to vote, is that okay? ”

“Okay.”

“Then I think that Xing Xing and Bai Ye’s contribution today is the highest. More than half of our turnover today comes from them, do you have any objections?”

Everyone shook their heads, “No.”

“Let’s raise our hands to vote,” Zhang Yunfei said, “Excluding the two involved parties, there are exactly five left. Those who get three or more votes will get the PASS card.”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu’s eyeballs rolled. In this program, Bai Ye was the most popular. If he could get closer to Bai Ye, and at the same time, they could be a couple or something, and it would definitely be very popular.

Now was the time to curry favor with Bai Ye. Zhou Yu raised his hand, “I vote for Bai Ye.”

“Okay,” Zhang Yunfei pointed at Liu Ziyu, “Ziyu, what about you?”

“I vote for Xing Xing.”

Zhang Yunfei, “Next …”

“No need to vote,” Bai Ye interrupted him, “Just give the card to Xing Xing.”

“W-why?” Zhou Yu, who had just stood in line, immediately scowled and said grandly, “Bai Ye, you don’t have to be modest. We’ll get the reward based on our abilities. Xing Xing will agree, won’t he, Xing Xing?”

Zhou Yu was right, Qi Xingchen said, “Yes.”

Bai Ye frowned, “It’s just a card. I don’t believe there’s a task that I can’t pass.”

“Then you can use it to rest when you’re tired,” Zhou Yu did not give up and continued to persuade, “You really don’t have to be modest!”

Ever since he saw Zhou Yu attack Qi Xingchen during the selection, Bai Ye knew that there was a grudge between them. Now that he saw Zhou Yu’s face, the disgust in his eyes was almost unconcealable.

“I didn’t do that. This is what Xing Xing deserves,” Bai Ye said impatiently, “Besides, this is between me and me …”

The word “fan” was about to come out of his mouth, but he remembered that Qi Xingchen was afraid of riding on his popularity and was unwilling to call himself “Bai Ye’s fan” in front of the camera, so Bai Ye changed it to “friend.”

“This is between me and my friend. We can discuss it ourselves.”

Bai Ye’s words were very straightforward and had two meanings. The first was: It’s none of your business. The second was: Xing Xing is my friend, and you’re not.

Zhou Yu’s expression could no longer be described as ugly. Even the pores on his body were filled with awkwardness.

When Qi Xingchen heard Bai Ye’s words, he was shocked. He immediately stepped to his side and said in an extremely small voice, “The camera is here.”

“Mhm.”

“Don’t be angry.”

“Mhm.”

His tone did not sound like he had calmed down. Qi Xingchen still wanted to say a few more words, but the camera was here. He decided to wait until the night to coax the male lead.

.

The quarrel between the two guests was a big highlight, but one of the participants was Bai Ye, so the video could only be edited out. If it was released and caused trouble for Bai Ye, Bai Ye’s team would definitely not let it go.

After being torn apart in front of a group of people, Zhou Yu felt embarrassed. He said that he was not feeling well, turned around, and went back to his room.

When it was time to eat, there were six people at the table again.

What was more ironic was that halfway through the meal, Luo Qiuman suddenly remembered, “Xiao Yu hasn’t eaten yet. Should we send some to him?”

“… Yes, go ahead.” Zhang Yunfei nodded perfunctorily. “But he’s not feeling well. I don’t know if he can eat.”

“Then I’ll pick a few dishes for him … Ziyu, I can’t carry them all. Come with me.”

“I can’t stop eating, or else I’ll get a stomachache,” Liu Ziyu refused. “Sister Qiuman, you should find someone else to go with you.”

“You’ll get a stomachache if you stop eating.” Obviously, it was nonsense. Qi Xingchen glanced at Liu Ziyu. Recently, she had been protecting him both openly and secretly. Qi Xingchen could feel it.

No matter what the reason was, as long as she didn’t come looking for trouble with him, Qi Xingchen didn’t care about anything else.

But today, Bai Ye’s anger reminded Qi Xingchen of one thing — Zhou Yu couldn’t be left alive.

He thought that the crisis had been resolved, but who knew that Zhou Yu would still be stuffed in. Now that Qi Yuji had turned into a vicious cannon fodder plot, it was like a timed bomb hanging over his head. No one knew when it would explode! BOOM！ BOOM！

He couldn’t bear the consequences. Qi Xingchen finished his meal in two or three mouthfuls, greeted everyone who hadn’t finished eating, and took a stroll on the small road leading to Goat Village.

He found that the drying area beside the road was not bad.

Qi Xingchen memorized the location of the drying area and downloaded a live streaming platform.

.

They waited until late at night, but Zhou Yu did not come out of his room.

Qi Xingchen hid under the covers and quietly called Qi Yuji, “I brought the present back. I was on the plane yesterday, so I didn’t have time to tell you.”

“Ah ah ah ah ah! Xing Xing, when will you be coming home? ”

He pretended to be regretful. “It’ll be more than a month later. I won’t be able to go back during the recording.”

Qi Yuji was silent for a moment, then weakly said, “But, but I really want to see your present.”

“Then I’ll find a courier to mail it back to you.”

“No! What if the courier is damaged or lost? ”

“How about …” Qi Xingchen suggested, “You come over to get it from me and visit me while you’re at it?”

Qi Yuji was speechless.

After not seeing her brother for more than ten days, Qi Yuji had long wanted to visit him. She was afraid that her brother would reject her, so she did not dare to say it.

She did not expect her brother to take the initiative to invite her. There was no need to mention how happy Qi Yuji was. She could not wait to rush over right now!!

“Really? You’re really asking me to come? ”

“Really. There’s no time like the present. Come tomorrow,” Qi Xingchen said. “I’ll book a ticket for you now.”

Qi Yuji rejected the ticket. Coincidentally, the Qi family’s plane had just been serviced, so taking a private jet was much more convenient than going to the airport.

After hanging up the phone with Qi Yuji, Qi Xingchen secretly knocked on Bai Ye’s door with a small box just like the day before.

But this time he was smarter. After Bai Ye let him in, he first covered the camera.

Then he turned around and saw Bai Ye sitting on the windowsill. His two long legs seemed to have nowhere to rest as he slightly raised his chin and looked at him.

Therefore, Qi Xingchen’s words were stuck in his throat.

As the saying goes, a beauty can be seen under the light. This fake idol had inherited all the good points of his real idol. His skin was fair and beautiful, and his legs were long and slender. When he looked at you, his eyes were dark like whirlpools.

Qi Xingchen almost drowned. Bai Ye was not in a hurry and quietly waited for him.

Qi Xingchen struggled for a while before he managed to get out and said incoherently, “Well, you haven’t slept yet.”

“Yeah.”

“It’s already quite late. Insomnia?”

“Because you’re here,” Bai Ye said calmly. “Let’s get down to business.”

Well, it seemed that his anger had not subsided. Qi Xingchen sighed. “Don’t be angry. It was my fault this afternoon.”

Bai Ye asked, “What was wrong with you?”

Qi Xingchen: “…”

Yes, what was wrong with him?

“… It’s all my fault anyway,” Qi Xingchen braced himself and said, “I shouldn’t have refused the PASS card. Please forgive me.”

“I’m angry because of this?”

“Then who are you angry at? Zhou Yu? There’s no need to do it for him. ”

“… It’s not for him.” Bai Ye was speechless for a moment, then his eyes fell on his hand. “What’s that in your hand?”

At the end of the first stop, Qi Xingchen bought gifts for everyone on the program team. Last night, he was so focused on giving Bai Ye a quilt that he forgot about the gift.

Tonight, he brought it with him.

Qi Xingchen opened his palm, and there was an AirPods charging case on it. The picture was a dark blue night sky, and the Milky Way flowed slowly with the moonlight. It was bright and mysterious.

“It’s for you,” he said.

“For me?” Bai Ye raised his eyebrows and took it.

He looked at it twice and suddenly smiled. “Did you draw it yourself?”

Qi Xingchen: “… Yes.”

“It’s both you and me, the meaning is not bad,” Bai Ye said. “Thank you, I’ll accept it.”

“You’re welcome …” Qi Xingchen was curious. “But there’s only the night sky above, where am I?”

Bai Ye pointed at the shining Xing Xing. “Isn’t that you?”

Qi Xingchen was stunned.

He was thrown at the entrance of the orphanage as soon as he was born, and his name was randomly chosen by the director. “Qi” came from the meaning of abandonment, and “Xing” was a word that couldn’t be any more ordinary.

A short year after he was adopted, he was given to the acrobatic troupe by his adoptive parents.

How could a child who was worthy of being loved be abandoned twice in a row?

But when it came to the male protagonist, he became Xing Xing in the night sky … He was just a speck of dust, how could he be worthy of standing with his idol?!

“I’m not, I’m not,” Qi Xingchen hurriedly explained. “When I was drawing, I only wanted to draw the night sky, I didn’t think about myself!”

This time, it was Bai Ye’s turn to be stunned.

He had only said it casually, but he didn’t expect the other party to have such an intense reaction. He immediately thought of Qi Xingchen’s previous behavior and performance.

Qi Xingchen saw that he didn’t say anything, so he asked tentatively, “Then, are you not angry now?”

“……”

Bai Ye didn’t give a definite answer, and took a step forward.

He raised his arm, froze for a moment, and finally, his palm landed on the top of Qi Xingchen’s head.

Unlike the cold fragrance on his body, the fake idol’s palm was warm and ironed, just enough to drive away the cold of the long night.

Then, Qi Xingchen heard him say, “If you don’t want me to be angry, be more obedient next time.”
