Cannon Fodder Fake Master Was Stunned After Being Reborn

For this first meeting between them, Shen Xingsui was very happy, while Fu Jinxiao just acquired a psychological shadow in his heart. The older boy thought this was just a one-time instance, but was soon to be proven wrong.

During New Year, Fu Jinxiao, who returned to the main house, could always catch a glimpse of Shen Xingsui’s lingering figure during the winter vacation.

“Fu Jinxiao…”

“I brought you a toy, do you want to play with it?”

“I watched a really good movie recently…”

“Hahaha, you must be scared!”

Unlike Fu Jinxiao, who had a dull personality, Shen Xingsui had a sunny and lively personality. He shone like a little sun who didn’t know how to get tired. If Fu Jinxiao was the dark grass that grows under the eaves all the year round, then Shen Xingsui was the glimmer of sunlight who slipped from the canopies, breaking into the dark grass’ territory without any mercy. 

In the garden in the afternoon, Fu Jinxiao was reading a book, while Shen Xingsui was playing games beside him.

While playing, he came over and whispered, “I can’t pass this level.”

Fu Jinxiao took the console over and said, “You react too slowly, if you can’t pass it, practice more.”

“Then can you come and play two-player mode with me?” Shen Xingsui leaned against him and said softly, “I want to play with you.”

Fu Jinxiao used to like games, but he never replayed them after he finished them – he easily got tired of them. Naturally, he refused. “I don’t like to play this.”

Shen Xingsui seemed to understand, he replied softly, “Then what do you like to play?”

This child seemed to be unable to understand the rejection of others. Every time Fu Jinxiao thought that ordinary people must have given up long ago after being treated like this. Only he seemed to have full patience when dealing with him.

Fu Jinxiao closed the book and looked at him and said, “I don’t have anything I like.”

Shen Xingsui was taken aback.

“There’s nothing I want to do,” Fu Jinxiao’s voice was very slow, enunciating every word with extra clarity. His whole body seemed to be enveloped in a kind of indifference, “I’m just a boring person.”

Shen Xingsui didn’t seem to understand why he suddenly said this.

Fu Jinxiao looked at him sideways and said, “Now that you find out, you might as well stop wasting your time with me, and play with your other friends. I don’t understand why you are so willing to sit here with me.” 

This is actually an obvious rejection.

Because Fu Jinxiao found that Shen Xingsui seemed to be a child without roots, euphemistic words were useless to him – he just had to be more straightforward.

The little kid sitting next to him seemed to have spent a lot of effort to understand this sentence. His white and tender face, which was always smiling, gradually froze. Then, just when Fu Jinxiao thought he was finally going to retreat, the little kid said, “But  I like you.”

This time, it was Fu Jinxiao who was taken aback.

He never thought that Shen Xingsui would be so bold!

The child sitting next to him showed a cheery smile, and his bright eyes looked at Fu Jinxiao for a moment. “That’s why I want to be with you.”

Fu Jinxiao became curious. “What do you like about me?”

After all, the Shen family was also very rich – there’s no need for him to latch onto Fu Jinxiao for the sake of money, like so many others. If it was someone else, he could still analyze it. For someone like Shen Xingsui who doesn’t follow the routine, he really couldn’t predict him.

In the next second, Shen Xingsui replied honestly, “Because you look good!”

“……”

The air fell into a momentary silence.

Then, Fu Jinxiao endured it and actually huffed. He imagined many possibilities, and even wondered whether Shen Xingsui could not inherit more property because he had two older brothers in the Shen family, so he needed to win Fu Jinxiao over1A/N: Fu Jinxiao, you’re like, 12 years old, why the fuck do you already know about vested interest and gold diggers????. 

But he thought too much! He never thought it would be this simple reason!!

Shen Xingsui next to him was still holding his game console. He looked at him with bright, wondrous eyes, and said in his milky voice, “You look so handsome when you’re smiling!” 

Fu Jinxiao regained his composure, and glanced at him lightly. “Boring.”

Shen Xingsui was not angry with him. After all, Fu Jinxiao talked to him more than usual today. Although it seemed that there was no change from before, and the older boy went back to read lazily, Shen Xingsui observed that he had been talking to him for a long time. He didn’t even read the book – his eyes were unfocused, and beneath his icy cold facade, his earlobes actually flushed red. 

Shen Xingsui, naturally, noticed this. He had to comment on it. Fu Jinxiao, are you shy?”

“No.”

“Really?”

“You’re so annoying, and I won’t talk to you anymore.”

“Oh……”

1A/N: Fu Jinxiao, you’re like, 12 years old, why the fuck do you already know about vested interest and gold diggers????
