Get Demoted Into Cannon Fodder

Arc 2.4

If it was not, he was afraid that it might take a toll on his health he would cancel the engagement a long time ago!

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Zheng Zhi remained silent once he heard his question.

Why, you ask?

I just want to stay close to him.

However, he knew that He Zhuoyan wouldn't believe him if he were to say this sentence, therefore, he went for a plausible excuse.

“I have already done with what I need to do as a man so I need to be a fiance and a husband now.”

Zheng Zhi was used to have an emotionless face so even an old fox like He Zhuoyan could not detect anything wrong with him which caused him to be baffled.

In the end, He Zhuoyan lost to Zheng Zhi and could only let him stay.

Meanwhile, Shi Shen was still soundly sleeping and woke up at his usual time.

He Tian quickly reported what happened between the two while Shi Shen was listening with a serene expression like he didn't even feel surprised at this scenario.

Actually seeing his behavior last night, Shi Shen figured out that somehow Zheng Zhi has fallen for him albeit he didn't know the reason why.

He was sure that the current Zheng Zhi did not fall for someone due to their look that’s why he didn't even consider the possibility of having him fall in love at first sight with him.

Initially, he thought of sowing discords between Xu Huang and Zheng Zhi so that they wouldn't end up together but it seemed like he didn't need to do anything for that to happen.

However, that didn't mean he won't do anything either.

Out of the blue, He Tian grumpily said,”Isn't your protagonist halo too strong?! You did nothing but already hooked him up like a foolish fish!”

“This problem won't be arisen if you didn't transfer me into this kind of body.” Reasoned Shi Shen.

This sentence immediately stabbed He Tian right in his brain.

How could he know that a lady killer will turn into a guy killer?!

He thought that by doing this Shi Shen's charms would be tremendously diminished but who knows the result turned out to be like this?!

Now, he was wondering whether he was forced to supervise him just to watch how lucky Shi Shen was or not.

Nevertheless, he was still rational enough not to make thing harsher for Shi Shen since he would never fix the plot resulting in another negative points waiting to be deducted from him.

Last time, he managed to trigger one emergency mission and thanks to this his balance didn't result in zero.

But it’s hard to say so this time around.

Still, he had to say that Shi Shen coped much better than what he had expected.

He was sure that his balance would result in a lot of negative points but Shi Shen actually managed to have positive points instead.

While He Tian was wandering off, Shi Shen, on the other hand, finally came to eat breakfast with his parents and as expected, Zheng Zhi was also there.

He made it looks like he was surprised to see him here then calmly recollected himself to greet his parents and him. After that he went to sit near Gu Shang with his head lowered as usual.

He didn't even ask why Zheng Zhi was here in their Estate and quietly eat his breakfast.

After they had finished their breakfast did He Zhuoyan speak to Shi Shen.
