Cannon Fodder Fake Master Was Stunned After Being Reborn

It was only after Jian Xingsui’s death that he realized that he was the cannon fodder in a book with a dog-blooded plot. He was a dumb and s*upid fake young master in it.

​In the book, he was...

Chapter 57 I Have Someone I Like

The guests at the scene were watching intently, and Shen Xingsui himself was a little nervous. He couldn't be as natural as Shen Xingchen. He was worried that making a phone call at this time would disturb his mother and that people would find him annoying. It seemed like a subconscious reaction to be on edge.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, then Xu Enzhen's voice came through again, completely different from her impatient tone just now, with a smile and gentleness: "Is this Sui Sui?"

Shen Xingsui responded softly.

"Sui Sui, is that really you? Mom thought I misheard. Why are you awake so early?" Xu Enzhen asked proactively, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

Shen Xingsui honestly replied, "No."

After hesitating for a moment, it seems like now is a good time to ask.

Shen Xingsui held her phone, licked her lips, and mustered her courage to ask, "Um, Mom, I am indeed recording a program. Actually, I wanted to ask if you could..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Enzhen spoke first: "Recording a show so early without having eaten breakfast, how can this be? How can your body handle this? It's really outrageous. Sui Sui, don't worry, just tell me what you want to eat, and Mom will fly over to deliver it to you right now."

...

?

Shen Xingsui hoped his mother would agree so he could complete the task, but he didn't expect his mother to take it seriously: "Um, Mom, it's okay, it's still early, it's not even dawn yet, you should continue to sleep. Besides, you need to book a plane ticket, it's quite far. I'm really fine, the production team will provide food."

"Why book plane tickets? We have a private jet at home," Xu Enzhen declared confidently. "Mom's not sleepy. She usually gets up at this time too!"

Shen Xingchen next to her: ?

His bewildered expression and wide eyes seemed to have the word "doubt" plastered directly on his forehead.

The viewers in the live stream were overjoyed to see this:

"I'm laughing so hard I'm going crazy."

"(Shen Xingchen, are you asking for trouble? Can't a person get any sleep this early in the morning?) (Mom isn't sleepy, I usually get up around this time too.)"

"(Want me to slap you?) (What does Sui Sui want to eat? I'll bring it to you.)"

"Hahahaha, I was laughing so hard I was rolling around in bed this morning."

"What a human tragedy this is."

"Although the focus at this point should be that these two people really do seem to be brothers, ladies, I really want to laugh, hahaha."

Shen Xingsui felt sorry for his mother. He was about to say something when Xu Enzhen had already gotten up and knocked on Shen Minglang's door to ask her son about their private jet.

Hearing that they wanted to go to Peach Blossom Town, Shen Minglang, who was in a low mood, said impatiently, "Shen Xingchen won't starve to death, Mom, you're making a big fuss over nothing."

Xu Enzhen pointed to the phone and said, "It's not him, it's Sui Sui."

"Sui Sui?" Shen Minglang's tone changed, and after a long silence, he said, "If we send a plane over now, it can arrive at the earliest by noon."

Shen Xingchen: ?

His eyes widened as he stared intently at his phone.

The viewers in the live stream were even more amused:

"Hahaha, Xingchen, were you adopted?"

I'm really going to laugh myself to tears.

"The eldest son's status is in crisis."

"Hahaha, what a huge display of double standards in this family!"

Shen Xingsui hurriedly said in a flustered manner, "No, Mom, Big Brother, please listen to me. This is just something the production team asked me to ask. Thank you for coming, but I've already completed my task, so I can have breakfast soon."

After listening, Xu Enzhen's voice even seemed to carry a hint of regret: "Is that so?"

Shen Xingsui responded softly, a gentle smile unconsciously appearing in his eyes. Even though they couldn't come, their attitude warmed his heart: "That's right, thank you, Mom."

Shen Minglang coughed lightly next to the phone, as if trying to make his presence known: "If anything happens while you're recording the show over there, call home immediately."

Shen Xingsui's smile deepened, and he responded with a clear voice, "I understand, thank you, big brother."

The phone call ended there. After he hung up, the surrounding area remained quiet. Everyone looked at him with a complex mix of emotions, but no hostility.

Shen Xingchen was the first to jump up: "Sui Sui, don't listen to Mom and Big Brother's nonsense. That plane won't arrive until evening at the earliest, so there's no way they'll deliver breakfast!"

Shen Xingsui: "Huh?"

"Really, would I lie to you?" Shen Xingchen put his arm around Shen Xingsui's shoulder. "That's why I'm the only one you can rely on when it really matters. Their sweet talk doesn't count!"

Shen Xingsui was stopped and moved a little closer to him. After hearing these words, she could only nod in confusion, completely bewildered.

The live stream audience and other guests all laughed:

"I thought he would be angry, but he immediately started vying for my favor."

"Shen Xingchen, you really are amazing!"

"So it really is my second brother?"

"Haha, I remember yesterday, you laughed at someone for being stingy and petty, and they laughed at you for not being able to inherit a family's billions in assets."

"Sui Sui, you've been hiding this so well!"

Shen Xingsui hesitated for a moment before asking, "That...phone?"

Fu Jinxiao reached out her hand and said, "Give it to me."

Shen Xingsui quickly and obediently handed it to him.

After careful consideration, Fu Jinxiao first called her father, but the president, who was on a business trip, did not answer the call. Her grandparents were obviously not suitable to be disturbed at this time. After thinking it over, she finally called Lina instead.

As expected, Lina's threatening voice came through the phone after the call connected, quite fierce: "You better have something important to say that's why you're calling at this hour, this is my prime time for beauty sleep!"

Fu Jinxiao smiled and said, "I'm recording a program."

"Recording a TV show?" Lina was taken aback. The other person rolled over, and then a sweet voice came through: "Oh dear, hello everyone watching on TV and on your phones! I'm so sorry, please excuse my poor performance~"

The viewers in the live stream couldn't help but laugh:

"My mother-in-law is so adorable!"

"Oh, it's alright, we're all family, we don't mind!"

"I never expected Brother Fu's mother to be so funny."

"Hahaha, now I finally know who Brother Fu inherited his speed in changing his expression from."

Fu Jinxiao was already used to her mother's attitude and got straight to the point: "I'm recording a show, but the production team isn't providing me with food. Can you come and bring me breakfast?"

"Breakfast delivered?" Lina retorted instinctively, "Which production team would dare not give you food? Are you kidding me?"

Fu Jinxiao: "..."

Lina seemed to have just woken up, and reacted a beat late: "Isn't that 'Starlight Splendor'? I remember Sui Sui was in it too, was Sui Sui there?"

Fu Jinxiao lifted her eyelids and glanced at the person in front of her: "Here."

"Has Sui Sui eaten?" Lina had completely gone off-topic: "Sui Sui has had a tough time, he can't go hungry, he's not in good health. Does your production team really not provide him with food? Ask Sui Sui what he likes to eat, and I'll arrange for our private jet to send it over."

Fu Jinxiao was unusually silent.

When Shen Xingsui heard what Aunt Lina said, his face turned red involuntarily. He couldn't help but whisper, "Auntie, don't worry, I have breakfast."

Lina was relieved: "You and Xingchen have eaten, right? That's good. Auntie is relieved!"

Fu Jinxiao: "..."

However, the viewers in the live stream this morning were in an uproar:

"Haha, I never expected there would be a sequel!"

Why would Brother Fu's mother care about Sui Sui and Xing Chen?

"To answer the question above, I've heard that the two families have always had a very good relationship!"

"I laughed until my stomach hurt."

"Our Sui Sui is definitely the group's darling!"

Of course, some more perceptive viewers and fans also sensed something was amiss:

"The way Auntie was talking to me made me feel like she was talking to... her daughter-in-law?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Don't overthink it, it's just a matter of concern."

"And they also mentioned stars."

"I hope so..."

Despite the commotion, Lina eventually agreed to deliver breakfast to Fu Jinxiao, thus completing the challenge for the movie star. The phone was then passed to the next person, An Ran.

Because of the unexpected phone call from the production team, the live stream's viewership reached a record high of 350 million by 5 AM, almost causing major live streaming platforms to crash due to the surge in comments and viewership. Before sunrise, several trending topics had already appeared on social media.

#Shen Xingsui is really a child of the Shen family#

#How hypocritical can a person be?#

#Shen Xingchen's Battle for Favor#

#My future mother-in-law is so cute!#

In just one hour, the top trending topics were dominated by "Starlight Splendor." Since its broadcast, this variety show has truly grasped the secret to attracting viewers. Now, as more and more people wake up, the show's ratings continue to rise, and more and more viewers are participating in the discussions.

After An Ran got the phone, she dialed the number, and Jian Kuo answered.

Jian Kuo's voice, though early in the morning, carried a hint of impatience: "Hello, Ranran? What's wrong?"

An Ran tentatively said, "Dad, I'm recording a show right now, and I haven't had breakfast yet. Could you bring me some breakfast?"

"Breakfast delivered?" Jian Kuo hesitated for a moment, looking somewhat doubtful: "Doesn't your production team arrange this for you?"

An Ran responded with a soft, fragile voice that could easily soften one's heart and evoke pity: "Dad, can you bring it to me?"

Jian Kuo was silent for a moment, and just when everyone thought he would agree, he said, "Okay, I'll have my driver send it to you. It's a bit far, though, so I'll have him buy a plane ticket."

"..."

For a moment, An Ran couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

Not only him, but the others also smiled, their smiles tinged with a mixture of amusement and sarcasm.

It's common knowledge how high-profile An Ran and the Jian family used to be, especially since Jian Zhi, who is also in the entertainment industry, is her older brother. So when they were recording "Starlight," everyone in the training camp envied An Ran, and the whole internet was praising how much the Jian family doted on her. But today, it's true that you don't know the harm until you compare.

Some people in the live stream couldn't help but laugh:

"One person had a private plane deliver the goods, while the other had to buy a plane ticket."

"Haha, I'll come right away if they want to eat something, this person is assigning a driver."

"Weren't they both supposed to be wealthy families?"

"Even wealthy families are ranked. As someone who knows a little about them, I can say with certainty that the Jian family is indeed no match for the Shen family and the Fu family."

"Haha, although both agreed, I feel like An Ran is at a disadvantage."

After everyone took turns making their calls, their relatives generally agreed.

The director had breakfast brought over, but the quality of the breakfast varied. Those like Shen Xingsui and Fu Jinxiao, who even had the combination lock on their suitcases, ate a luxurious breakfast, which was very plentiful, with a variety of choices such as soup noodles, wontons, steamed buns, dumplings, pastries, milk, and spicy soup.

In comparison, Shen Xingchen, who was not far away, was having a breakfast of a bowl of millet porridge, two flatbreads, and a small bowl of pickled vegetables.

During the meal, Shen Xingchen sat at a table not far away, and Shen Xingsui took some food from her own table and put it on his table, saying softly, "Eat together."

Shen Xingchen bit into her pancake with some surprise: "Didn't the director forbid us from delivering breakfast to other people?"

"No, we won't allow it." Shen Xingsui smiled slyly at him and lowered her voice: "If we each eat half, it's not considered a gift, it's just splitting it equally."

Shen Xingchen smiled and pointed at Shen Xingsui: "You little rascal, you've been going astray lately!"

Shen Xingsui placed the soup noodles she had brought in front of her brother, adding meat and chicken legs to it, and pushed it towards him: "Eat up, you didn't eat well yesterday."

Shen Xingchen was really hungry, so she immediately abandoned the millet porridge and started eating noodles.

Shen Xingsui, who was sitting next to her, was eating steamed buns in small bites. After Shen Xingchen had eaten more than half a bowl, she looked up and belatedly realized, "How come it seems like all the meat is in my bowl and I've already eaten it? Don't you want some?"

“I ate some too.” Shen Xingsui handed him the meat bun: “This one has meat in it too.”

Shen Xingchen took a closer look and saw that the meat in the bun was just a small lump. Although it was enough to fill him up, it couldn't compare to a chicken leg. The people around him, however, seemed quite satisfied and didn't seem to mind. This reminded the young master of something that had happened before.

No matter what it is, just like back in "Starlight", Shen Xingsui stayed up all night and squatted in the training room to keep watch for him and keep track of the time. Just like in the dormitory, he was always penalized for not being good at making his bed and quilts, so Shen Xingsui was always the one who quietly cleaned up after him.

Shen Xingchen pursed his lips, proudly tilted his spiky hair back, and hummed, "I'll definitely win the mission at noon today, and then I'll treat you to two chicken legs."

Shen Xingsui paused, chuckled softly, and nodded, saying, "Okay, you're the best."

Shen Xingchen retorted, "What do you mean 'you, you, you'? You have no manners. Call me 'brother'."

"..."

childish.

Although Shen Xingsui inwardly complained, she still doted on him and softly called out, "Brother."

Shen Xingchen flashed a bright smile, but still glanced at the camera with a smug look, as if he were vying for favor with his mother and older brother. He cleared his throat and said, "Alright, since you've so sincerely acknowledged me as your boss, I'll definitely treat you to the best of everything from now on!"

Shen Xingsui was both amused and exasperated: "Then thank you."

Shen Xingchen was satisfied and continued eating.

The viewers in the live stream found it both funny and touching after witnessing the whole thing.

"Actually, I was worried that the double standards on site would make Xingchen feel uneasy."

"But Sui Sui is truly an angel, he's so wonderful."

"Thank you, Sui Sui, for being so considerate of Chen Ge's feelings. I'm now a fan!"

"These two brothers are so kind, I'm really touched."

After eating and drinking their fill, before the directors came to issue the tasks, the team members gathered together to unpack the combination lock boxes they had obtained the day before.

Shen Xingsui and Fu Jinxiao are the two who have obtained the most mission cards so far. After opening the box, they took out the cards and saw their contents:

The young master has been exceptionally talented in the arts since childhood and is well-liked by everyone.

He hated water since he was a child, especially the pond in the backyard.

Shen Xingsui held the two cards in deep thought, tentatively analyzing, "This assassin has artistic talent and is a very popular person."

The coverage given by this card is too broad, encompassing an entire boy band. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that any member has artistic talent, and given their popularity, there are even more.

"Afraid of water." Fu Jinxiao pointed to one of the cards and said, "Teacher Li is a very good swimmer, and Tuya can swim."

Shen Xingsui thought for a moment and said, "My brother can swim too."

This clue card covers a much smaller area; perhaps they can find some clues by finding someone who can't swim! Who else can't swim?

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Shen Xingsui turned around and said, "Please come in."

Shen Xingchen came in and said, "I don't have many cards, but I'm really not an assassin. How about we share some information?"

Fu Jinxiao raised an eyebrow and said, "How can I trust you?"

"I'm really not an assassin!" Shen Xingchen cried out, trying to prove his innocence. "I also have a mission card. If you don't believe me, I'll hand it over! And I guarantee you, the hints on my mission card will definitely be helpful to you!"

Shen Xingsui hesitated for a moment and looked at Fu Jinxiao.

Fu Jinxiao sat lazily in the chair, raising her chin: "Let me see."

Shen Xingchen took out the card, and everyone saw the words on the task card: "[Young Master has been in poor health since childhood, and Master hopes that he can live a peaceful and free life.]"

Although this task card is somewhat vague, it does provide a clue.

Shen Xingchen said, "Could it be that this assassin has always been in poor health?"

Based on the information obtained from the mission cards so far, we can conclude that the assassin is male, handsome, highly talented in art and popular with the audience, and in poor health.

Shen Xingchen rubbed his head in annoyance: "Who is this? It feels like the scope is so vast. These lousy hint cards are ambiguous and completely useless. They're so limiting."

While Shen Xingchen was shouting, Fu Jinxiao remained silent.

Fu, the movie star, held the card in his hand for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the cards, a faint smile curving his lips.

Seeing his expression, Shen Xingchen asked, "Brother Fu, do you already know who it is?"

Shen Xingsui looked at Fu Jinxiao in shock, her intuition telling her that it was unlikely. The hints on these task cards were too vague; how could they have confirmed it so quickly?

Fu Jinxiao put the card down, stood up, stretched, and said slowly, "I think I understand now."

? ?

The two simple-minded brothers asked in unison, "Who is it?"

Fu Jinxiao picked up the name card she needed to wear for today's recording, glanced at them with a slight smile, and said slowly, "Let me confirm it today."

"..."

Why do you make something so difficult sound so simple?

Shen Xingsui finally understood the meaning of Shen Xingchen's words that Fu Jinxiao would not lose. No wonder that someone who was fearless would be so obedient in front of Fu Jinxiao. This man was simply too terrifying. No one would want to be his enemy!

After the morning discussion session, the production team began assigning new tasks for the day.

Instead of wandering around the town, today we actually left Peach Blossom Town and came to the foot of a mountain some distance away from the town. There is a somewhat dilapidated school there, and the school is called Hope Primary School.

The production team casually remarked, "Peach Blossom Town is located in a very remote area, so the economy and transportation here are not very developed. There are several small villages on this mountain, and the children living in the villages come here to study. This primary school was donated by a kind-hearted entrepreneur more than ten years ago, so that all the children can study and grow up freely and healthily!"

As the camera panned across the teaching building, the company's name became faintly visible.

Viewers in the live stream, who use their microscopes, have already noticed:

"Star Moon Group!"

"So this is the Shen family's business!"

"Hoping for primary school..."

"Is it to pray for the child, because the child was lost before?"

"According to incomplete statistics, the Shen family has invested in more than just one primary school; these Hope Primary Schools are spread across almost every province and town!"

Because their own children are gone, they hope that all children can enjoy a good education. They always hold onto the hope that their own children might still be alive, and they worry that they might be suffering in some unknown place. So they built Jimin Primary Schools in every corner of the country.

The production team led everyone into the school and announced the rules for today's tasks: "Today, everyone will draw lots in this box. The task you draw will determine what you will do today. There are teachers, cleaners, chefs, security guards, etc. You need to do your job responsibly. If you do not do well, you will lose points, and if you do well, you will gain points. At the end of the day, the scores will determine who is the final winner."

"Furthermore," the director added, "there are several mission card treasure chests hidden in the school, waiting for everyone to discover them. Today is the third day, and the assassin has the right to act. Your Highness and all good people, please find him as soon as possible, and protect yourselves!"

After the announcement was finished, everyone began drawing lots.

Shen Xingsui drew the cleaner's job, Fu Jinxiao drew the teacher's job, Shen Xingchen, this young master who never lifts a finger in the kitchen, actually drew the head chef's job, Ning Ze drew the security guard's job, and Tuya drew the gardener's job...

Once the task begins, the score is calculated.

Shen Xingsui got the sweeping and mopping tools and went to work in the students' classrooms and corridors, while Fu Jinxiao got the textbooks and went to teach the third-grade class. As soon as she entered the room, the students exclaimed and screamed. Their faces were all smiling. The children here looked simple and honest, with dark skin, but they all had a kind of cute and innocent charm. When they saw the big star, their eyes lit up and they stared at him without blinking.

Fu Jinxiao stood on the podium and made a shushing gesture.

Although he had never been a teacher before, Fu Yingdi was not intimidated at all. He stood at the top, with a refined smile on his face, and slowly opened his mouth: "Please keep quiet in class. Let me introduce myself first. My surname is Fu, and you can call me Teacher Fu. Although this is the first time we meet, let's get to know each other first."

The children below replied, "It's not the first time we've met!"

Fu Jinxiao raised an eyebrow with interest: "When did you see that before?"

"On TV!"

"On the food bag that we eat from at home."

"On the wall of the convenience store..."

This honest answer was both funny and touching, and the viewers in the live stream were also amused. These kids are really honest and simple, which makes them quite adorable.

Another little boy patted his chest and said, "I'm still your fan! The war god you photographed is so cool. When I grow up, I want to be like you, a hero, and defeat those bad guys!"

Children's wishes are always simple and pure.

That's just a science fiction movie; there are no heroes with such superpowers in reality.

Fu Jinxiao smiled and didn't ruin his dream: "That's a good ambition. Work hard and you'll achieve it in the future."

His approachable manner made the initially nervous and timid children much more relaxed. The little boy pointed to his deskmate and said with a smile, "She's a fan of yours too!"

Fu Jinxiao lowered his head unexpectedly, half-jokingly asking, "Is your dream also to be a superhero?"

The little girl shook her head shyly.

The little boy next to her chuckled quietly and said, "No, she doesn't. Her dream is to marry you when she grows up!"

The whole class burst into laughter after hearing this.

The little girl was extremely shy, her face turned red, but she didn't refute it. She just looked timidly at the tall and handsome man in front of her, looking at her idol.

Only Fu Jinxiao didn't join in the laughter. The man simply looked at her calmly, then bent down slightly and said gently, "It's good to have ideals, but you're still too young to be a bride."

The little girl was a little disappointed, pursed her lips, but still obediently agreed.

"and……"

To her surprise, Fu Jinxiao had a follow-up sentence. She looked up in surprise and met the man's amorous phoenix eyes. He had a faint smile on his face and slowly said, "Teacher already has a bride he likes, so I can't marry you."

!!

The little girl stared wide-eyed in shock.

Even the cameraman recording the show paused for a moment, and the viewers in the live stream went wild:

"What? Did I hear that right?!"

"You've found someone you like?!"

"You're lying, aren't you? Are you just saying this to put the girl's mind at ease?"

"Who's so capable of taking him down?"

"Let me see who the bride who saved the galaxy is, okay?"

"Ugh, this all morning! I'm not sleepy at all!!"
