Am I destined to be cannon fodder? Unlock the system and lead the motherland

Chapter 100

More than twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped next to Crown One.

Yun Ximo stepped out of the car and what caught her eye was...

The energetic and cheerful boy leaned against the glass window on the side of the car, with a naughty smile on his lips, and his peach blossom eyes were gently locked on the girl.

He spoke slowly in a lazy yet magnetic voice, "I, your young master, slipped back to East City yesterday. Was there ever a moment when you thought of me?"

Yun Ximo was stunned for a moment, her beautiful eyes widening as she muttered to herself, "This luck is too good, isn't it? The second handsome guy in the game just appeared in the real world like this, and he's the original owner's friend..."

She slowly moved forward, her eyes widening, her gaze moving carefully and quickly across his delicate and gorgeous face.

Those deep eyes, straight nose, and rosy but slightly thin lips all exude the unique charm of a young boy.

While Yun Ximo was immersed in admiring the handsome man, Luo Luo's anxious little voice popped up in her mind.

「Don’t get caught up in this, this guy is one of the villains...」

[This guy was the older brother next door when the original owner was in Mingjing Compound.]

[But in the end, he fell out with the original owner because of Yun Yimeng. 】

Lolo continued.

[Yun Yimeng doesn't know him yet, so you should quickly capture him.]

Yun Ximo was stunned for a moment: [Good boy, she was so busy admiring the handsome man that she almost forgot that he was a villain in this world and one of the links in her cannon fodder life.]

Yun Ximo quickly adjusted her mood, secretly complaining that she really didn't know the gender of this dog friend. But then she changed her mind and, considering the meal was being treated, she replied against her will, "I do."

The "dog friend" was overjoyed to hear this. The little girl had not forgotten him, and their relationship was still as good as when they were children.

Yun Ximo's eyes swept across the sign of "Crown First Class" and a string of memory fragments quickly flashed through her mind - although a membership system is implemented here, reservations still need to be made a full month in advance, which is very difficult to get a reservation. This dog friend is not simple.

She glanced around, then quickened her pace, trotting to catch up with her dog friend. Entering "Crown One," she was struck by the rich Han Dynasty charm of the interior decor. Each booth was cleverly separated by beaded curtains and screens, and the light filtering through the screens cast dappled shadows, creating an ambiance of antique charm and extraordinary elegance.

The screen door of Crown One slowly opened again.

The visitor was Shi Heshen, known as Second Master Shi, a prominent figure in East City. As the heir to the Shi family, one of the four great families, he possessed both status and power.

The manager stepped forward quickly, his attitude respectful but measured: "Second Master Shi, the seat you reserved is ready. Please follow me."

Shi Heshen nodded slightly and walked inside. However, at this moment, a young man at the end of the team suddenly came over and whispered, "Second Master, look over there, who is that?"

Shi Heshen frowned slightly, but still turned around and looked in the direction of the other person's finger. His eyes instantly became complicated and deep. He saw a woman in a tweed coat. It was Yun Ximo, who had hung up on him yesterday.

"Fuck! Isn't that the Second Master's fiancée?" The wealthy young men around them quickly recognized Yun Ximo's identity and began to murmur. Yun Ximo's name was also well-known in this circle, and her appearance naturally caused quite a stir.

Shi Heshen stared at Yun Ximo, a sneer curling up at the corner of his mouth: When did she learn this trick of playing hard to get? He should have expected that Yun Ximo would not give up her entanglement with him so easily. As soon as she learned that he was in the Crown First Grade, she hurried here.

"Hey, have you forgotten? Sister Yimeng has returned from Northern Europe. Isn't Yun Ximo's identity as his fiancée awkward?

"Sister Yimeng and our Second Master are a match made in heaven. They are both exceptionally talented, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and are deeply favored by the wealthy elders of East City. If I were Yun Ximo, I would have been tactful and taken the initiative to cancel the engagement, allowing this relationship to continue, rather than becoming that annoying third party."

"Humph, could it be that she came here specifically to find the Second Master in an attempt to salvage something? After all, she's just a substitute."

"That's absolutely true. We can step into this Crown First Grade only thanks to Master Shi's blessing. Yun Ximo? I haven't heard that she has a membership card here? If it wasn't for Master Shi, why would she appear here for no reason? If she said she was here to see someone else, would you believe it? Haha..." The young man behind him said, "Anyway, I don't believe it."

Shi Heshen appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, the corners of his mouth inadvertently raised a few degrees. He slowly stood up and cast his gaze in the direction of Yun Ximo. Although he was engaged to Yun Ximo and he did not love her, but considering that Yun Ximo was the eldest daughter of the Yun family, he did not mind enjoying the pleasure of being infatuated with her.

Shi Heshen's brows furrowed even more tightly. Noticing that Yun Ximo didn't seem to notice his presence, he strode over. The young masters behind him watched the show with glee.

However, the manager immediately took these young men to the seats that Shi Shao had already reserved.

Yun Ximo couldn't catch up with her dog friend and got separated from him. She was just looking for someone to ask the waiter.

At this moment, a male voice suddenly sounded behind her. Shi Heshen walked slowly in front of her, looking her up and down, his tone revealing displeasure: "Now you finally remember to look for me?"

Before Yun Ximo could speak, Shi Heshen glanced at the expensive watch on his wrist, his words filled with indifference and impatience: "I don't have time to waste with you, and you are not worth wasting my precious time. Chasing me here can't change anything?"

He changed the subject and ordered, "Go to the Qin family immediately and give them a satisfactory explanation."

Yun Ximo’s face was full of question marks: “???” Is there something wrong with your brain?

She looked at Shi Heshen in confusion, and after a moment she suddenly realized that this arrogant man was actually her fiancé.

Yun Ximo laughed angrily: "You feel good about yourself, right? What makes you think I'm here to find you?"

"Do you think I came to Crown One just to chase you? That's ridiculous!"

Shi Heshen frowned, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Stop pretending, this is not the place for you to make trouble, leave now."

Yun Ximo gently rubbed her forehead, her face calm but with a barely perceptible hint of indifference: "I came here to eat, of course. Shi Heshen, you suddenly showed up and pointed fingers at me. Who is disturbing who?"

These words were completely different from her usual obedience to him; the coldness in them was as cold as ice. Shi Heshen's expression instantly became complicated, with shock mixed with disbelief. He had never imagined that Yun Ximo would speak to him in such an attitude; it completely overturned his perception of her.

Suddenly, a leisurely laugh echoed, tinged with a hint of unruliness and frivolity, yet upon closer inspection, it seemed to contain a hint of indifference and alienation. "If it weren't for this return, I really wouldn't know when the Shi family... became so overbearing and domineering?
The heir of the Shi family has actually learned the crab walk and is running rampant? He's even deprived of his meals?"

The boy was tall and straight, with a black windbreaker that was slightly open, revealing a few unbuttoned buttons of his white shirt. His skin looked even cooler and clearer under the light, like carefully carved porcelain, emitting a unique luster, creating a breathtaking picture.

Upon hearing this, Yun Ximo slowly turned around, her eyes filled with resentment: "Can't you just walk slower?"

The dog friend chuckled, put one hand leisurely in his pocket, and raised the corner of his mouth. "Didn't I rush back to find you? Remember to follow my pace closely next time."

Shi Heshen watched the two chatting intimately, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out: "I am educating my fiancée, when is it your turn to meddle in other people's business?"

Bian Chi was stunned, and the young master's temper exploded instantly. He couldn't help but say, "Fuck!" Before he finished speaking, "Don't swear!" Yun Ximo's voice sounded from behind him, and at the same time, she held his arms tightly with both hands, as if she was afraid that he would go to Shi Heshen to argue in an impulse.

Bian Chi looked helpless as he turned to look at Yun Ximo, feeling overwhelmed. "I wouldn't go so far as to fight with such a brainless rookie."

"You..." Shi Heshen's face darkened and his brows were furrowed. Although Bian Chi was a playboy who lived off the others, he knew that although the Shi family was strong, it was far inferior to the Bian family.

Bian Chi's slender fingers casually played with the girl's ponytail, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Shi Heshen: "We are here to eat, Shi Heshen, please don't disturb our elegance here."

When Yun Ximo rolled her eyes, He Shen continued to talk to Bian Chi, "It's tiring to talk to people like this. I'm worried that you'll be tired too."

"Okay, okay, you win." Young Master Bian nodded repeatedly. Although he looked a little unhappy on the surface, he was actually very happy in his heart. See, who said he didn't mean anything to this girl?
Hearing this, Bian Chi raised his lips with a playful smile, and his eyes slightly raised, passing by Shi Heshen, his peach blossom eyes flashing with a deep light. He teased in a nonchalant tone: "Shi Heshen, right? He's just so-so, how come he has become the dream lover in the hearts of Dongcheng socialites?

"The domineering president not only has a bad brain, but also poor eyesight. He is just like those mindless followers. This is indeed true." Yun Ximo stuck out her tongue mischievously at Bian Chi.

"What did you say just now?" Shi Heshen couldn't hear clearly. Thinking that the words out of Yun Ximo's mouth were not nice words to please him, his face couldn't help but become a little gloomy.

"It's nothing, I just mean that your brain and eyesight are not very good, don't you think so?" Yun Ximo smiled as brightly as a flower.

Shi Heshen looked at her with a slightly dazed look in his eyes. Yun Ximo, whom he regarded as a substitute for his lonely entertainment, did not seem so dull and boring. However, this was just a fleeting thought in his mind.

"No rules!" Shi Heshen's face darkened completely. He suspected that Yun Ximo dared to be so unscrupulous because she relied on the face he gave her.

Did she really think he was willing to come pick her up? Did he even consider whether he was qualified?

Seeing this, the manager hurried forward to smooth things over and said respectfully to Shi Heshen, "Master Shi, your friends are waiting for you." Shi Heshen pursed his lips, his jaw line was tense, and his expression was extremely displeased.

Forced by the situation, Shi Heshen had to suppress his anger and leave unwillingly.

"What would you like to eat?" Bian Chi gently pushed the menu in front of Yun Ximo.

Yun Ximo thought about how she had come here to eat for free, and when she saw that Bian Chi hadn't ordered yet, she felt a little embarrassed: "You order, I'm not picky."

Upon hearing this, Bian Chi was slightly stunned and muttered to himself, "When did this girl become polite?" Then he turned to the waiter standing beside him and checked a few dishes on the menu.

Soon, the waiters became busy, serving soups and delicacies one by one.

Yun Ximo watched the dishes arrive with great anticipation, knowing that Crown One, as an intimate and high-end restaurant, was often a gathering place for the young men of wealthy families. While not every dish here was a masterpiece, each one was meticulously crafted and exquisitely presented.

However, when the waiter placed the dishes neatly on the table, Yun Ximo was stunned - these were all her favorite flavors!
My stomach was growling with hunger. As soon as the plate landed, I couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and soon finished the whole dish.

Soon, she finished off several other dishes one by one, and every bite evoked the flavors in her memory.

However, there was a trace of barely perceptible sadness in her eyes. Yun Ximo lowered her eyes. At this moment, she finally realized that she had really left Silver Moon Star and came to Earth, wuwu...

Looking at the empty plates on the table, Bian Chi was truly baffled. He looked at the somewhat lazy girl and asked uncertainly, "What kind of life have you been on? How long have you been hungry?"

Yun Ximo blinked and said embarrassedly: "Actually, I'm still hungry..."

Bian Chi: “???” He was speechless for a moment, then he waved his hand.

He instructed the waiter, "Please serve the previous dishes again." The waiter bowed slightly and then stepped back to prepare.

Bian Chi's voice was filled with resentment: "You were so polite before, why are you so rude now?"

Yun Ximo murmured, as if to justify her behavior: "It's my stomach that's not doing well. I can't let it suffer."

Bian Chi was stunned and even more puzzled: "The Yun family doesn't give you enough to eat? Don't they even give you pocket money?" He asked in disbelief. As the eldest daughter of the Yun family, she couldn't even eat enough and had no pocket money. Isn't that funny?

The girl's expression was very casual, as if she didn't care. "Shu Manli is the head of the Yun family now. It's a miracle that she didn't kick me out."

Bian Chi was surprised and handed her a bowl of hot fish soup, "Drink this."

Yun Ximo picked up the bowl of soup and drank it without taking a spoon.

Bian Chi was so disappointed that he couldn't stop her. A faint voice rang out: "Drink slowly. No one will snatch it from you."

However, Yun Ximo didn't think there was anything wrong with this. It was just a small bowl of soup, and using a spoon was troublesome! Besides, she was not a lady.
