Acting Like a Cannon Fodder Is the Best Life
CH1
In hot summer, on an unnamed street in City A.
The popsicle seller stopped her slowly swinging cattail fan and, like other residents on the street, stared intently at the boy who came out of the alley.
The streets were dirty and messy, and everyone was sweating with their sleeves rolled up, making that clean and refreshing young man very out of place.
However, this is not the main reason why everyone is attracted to him.
The boy was wearing pure white short sleeves and shorts, his exposed arms and legs were dazzlingly white, his light colored eyes were clear and vivid, there were a few drops of crystal sweat on his smooth forehead, and his face was flamboyant and beautiful.
His appearance brought a bit of life to the entire dull and hot street, like a ray of breeze passing through the streets and alleys.
Not noticing the strange atmosphere around him, Taehyung was frowning slightly, carefully stepping over the puddle of water on the ground to keep his white shoes from getting dirty.
He looked around, his eyes a little confused.
Kim Taehyung
"Where is this?"
Just yesterday, he traveled to the world in this book and became a cannon fodder in the book. The name and appearance of the cannon fodder are the same as his.
Kim Taehyung
"I don't know if this is the reason for my time travel."
Although he had read the book, he didn't read any further after seeing that it was a slapstick novel, and he didn't have much of an impression of the plot of the book.
It wasn't until yesterday when Mrs. Kim mentioned his engagement to Jeon Jungkook, Jeon's eldest son, that he remembered the plot about him as cannon fodder in the book.
The role of cannon fodder is not too much, it is just used to disgust the protagonist Jeon and protagonist Cha, and promote their emotional development.
Although the cannon fodder in the book came from a wealthy family, he was accidentally lost when he was a child and was adopted by a couple from an ordinary family. He was not found by the Kim family until he was an adult, and brought back.
Because the cannon fodder kept causing troubles after returning to the Kim family, which made the Kim family lose face, it didn't take long for the Kim family to arrange a marriage, and the marriage partner was the protagonist Jeon in the book.
After the marriage, the cannon fodder fell in love with the protagonist Jeon's money and status, and thought he was a bit pretty, so he pestered the protagonist Jeon and acted like a baby all day long, and was soon disgusted by the protagonist Jeon.
On the contrary, the protagonist Cha in the book is elegant and talented, let the protagonist Jeon take a look at him, and soon, the protagonist Jeon filed for divorce with Cannon Fodder.
Fortunately, the final outcome of the cannon fodder wasn't too bad, so Taehyung didn't panic too much after he came here, and he was still thinking about going out to buy things.
It's just that he lost his way while wandering around and came to this dirty street.
Mrs. Kim also asked him to have dinner with the protagonist Jeon tonight. Now that the appointed time is approaching, the driver still hasn't found the location he sent, which made him a little anxious.
unimportant
People: Isn't this the buried son of the old Zhou family?
The street that had been quiet because of the boy's appearance suddenly sounded a male duck's voice, breaking the silence abruptly.
Everyone took a closer look and gasped.
Isn't this the prodigal son of the Zhou family? Why didn't they recognize it for a long time, thinking that some rich young master had gone to the wrong place.
It's no wonder they didn't recognize him. The son of the Zhou family used to like to show off, and he always smelled lingering perfume everywhere he went. He also liked to powder his face like a girl, and the accessories on his ears and neck were never less.
If it wasn't for his handsome appearance, he would be regarded as a lunatic wherever he went.
But the young man in front of him was clean, with red lips and white teeth. He was prettier than the star on the screen, and he couldn't think of Taehyung’s previous appearance at all.
The residents on the street all know that the old Zhou family has had bad luck. The son that everyone avoids in the family is actually the biological flesh and blood of the Kim family who have been separated for many years. The old Zhou family got a lot of money, and the son also returned to the Kim family Had a good day.
This matter became the talk of the residents after dinner. They were so jealous that they mocked the son of Zhou's family who couldn't get on the stage every day.
However, they didn't expect that this person reappeared in the appearance of a young master of a wealthy family, and they almost didn't recognize him.
Taehyung hadn't noticed the strange eyes of the residents yet, he was still looking around, blinking his wet eyes lightly, with a confused and helpless expression.
Suddenly, a basketball slammed into his face, splashing the accumulated water on the ground, almost splashing on his snow-white calf.
Ye Ha-joon
Zhou Taehyung, what are you doing back here? Are you here to show off to us?
Taehyung was so frightened by the sudden basketball that he took a few steps back, looked blankly at the direction the basketball came from, and then glanced at the basketball that rolled to his feet.
Seeing the dirty water on the basketball, the young master hesitated for a moment, but still didn't pick up the basketball.
The one who threw the basketball at Taehyung was the male duck voice who recognized him, seeing that he was silent, the male duck voice became even more excited.
Ye Ha-joon
Why, living in Kim's house is so comfortable that you can't even speak?
After finishing speaking, the male duck voice looked at the partners around him, only to find that the few people who used to mock Taehyung the most vigorously lowered their heads at this moment, and quickly glanced at Taehyung's face from time to time.
Some people even looked at Duck Voice reproachfully, as if they didn't agree with what he had done.
Male duck cursed a few words in his mouth, jumped down from the stone steps, and wanted to teach Taehyung a lesson by himself.
He has heard that after Taehyung was picked up by Kim's family, he didn't restrain himself. Taehyung still went out to fool around all day long, and even took a large sum of money from Kim's family to start a business. He was ashamed.
Taehyung appeared here now, most likely because he was driven back by the Kim family.
So what about his own flesh and blood, who would like such a waste?
Duckling jumped down from the steps and approached step by step under the surprised eyes of the young man.
He had never been so close to Taehyung before, and when he got closer, he realized that this man's facial features were really impeccable, without the cover of makeup, the whole person was dewy, and those beautiful eyes looked at him with fear , something unspeakable...
Before Duck Voice could think of a suitable adjective, the car horn sounded behind him.
Taehyung's eyes lit up, he bypassed Ha-joon and ran towards the luxury car at the end of the street, and deftly jumped over several puddles on the ground, looking from a distance like a snow-white rabbit bouncing back to its lair.
Until the luxury car disappeared from everyone's sight, the residents still hadn't recovered.
Over there, Taehyung trotted to the car door, opened the door of the passenger seat, and sat in with the big and small bags in his hands.
He fastened his seat belt, put a few bags on his lap, held them tightly, and muttered softly with a sigh of relief.
Kim Taehyung
I'm scared to death.
He didn't know who those people were just now. If the driver hadn't arrived in time, he didn't know if he would have been bullied.
Because he just transmigrated into this world yesterday, he hasn't inherited many memories of the original owner, only some vague impressions, so he didn't remember who those people were just now.
Looking at the darkening sky outside the car window, Taehyung became more and more anxious.
Kim Taehyung
Uncle, can you drive faster? I'm going to be late.
He still remembered that the protagonist Jeon in the book had a bad temper. If the protagonist Jeon waited in the restaurant for a long time, he might suffer a disaster later.
The "driver" didn't respond for a long time, Taehyung felt something was wrong, and turned to look at the driver's seat.
The person in the driver's seat was not the driver who sent him out at all, but a handsome man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes. He looked ahead, pursed his thin lips displeasedly, and had no intention of answering Taehyung at all.
Taehyung was stunned, and the words "protagonist Jeon" popped up in his mind.
The man ignored him, holding the steering wheel with his bony hands, and the car drove onto a wide road.
Jeon Jungkook
Mrs. Kim asked me to pick you up. When you get back, just say we've already had dinner.
The man spoke suddenly, with no expression on his face, and did not ask for his opinion.
Taehyung touched his stomach quietly, he didn't want to stay with the protagonist Jeon either, but he was out shopping all afternoon, so he was already hungry.
He thought for a while, and asked cautiously.
Kim Taehyung
Aren't you going to eat? The restaurant has already been booked.
The man replied coldly without looking at him.
Taehyung licked his lower lip and said softly,
Kim Taehyung
Then can you send me to the restaurant, I'll eat by myself.
He has been hungry for a long time, if the protagonist Jeon doesn't want to go, he can eat by himself.
The man's face froze for a moment, and his tone gradually became impatient.
Jeon Jungkook
Then Mrs. Kim would know that we didn't have dinner together.
Taehyung retracted into his seat, took a small deep breath, trying to endure the hunger, and eat when he goes back.
However, in the next second, he let out a stomach growl, which was extremely loud in the quiet car.
Taehyung bit his lip in embarrassment, saw the man frowning and looked at him, then turned back without any expression.
Taehyung, who had never been ignored before, curled his lips, pressed his stomach, moved to the side, looked out the window, and began to think of other things to distract his attention.
He thought that although the cannon fodder in the book divorced the protagonist Jeon in the end, he had spent a lot of time with the protagonist Jeon under the same roof. Get married. But he didn't like this cold protagonist Jeon, and he was not willing to marry a man.
Kim Taehyung
"I don't know if there is a way to change the plot?"
Maybe if he works hard, the protagonist Jeon can skip the plot of marrying him and be with the protagonist Cha directly.
Thinking of this, Taehyung took out his phone, clicked on the forum, and sent an anonymous post.
The Post:
[What should I do if I don’t like my marriage partner? 】
After the post was sent out, before he could even glance at the reply, a phone call came in.
Taehyung was taken aback, and when he saw the note on the caller ID, he quickly picked it up.
Jungkook paused for a moment while holding the steering wheel, and frowned a little irritably.
His company still had matters to deal with, originally he wanted to send Taehyung back to Kim's house, but now that Mrs. Kim called, Taehyung would definitely not miss this opportunity to complain to Mrs. Kim, so he had to take someone to dinner.
Taehyung next to him didn't know what he was thinking. He leaned against the car door, stared down at his legs, and listened carefully to the voice on the phone.
Kim Taehyung
Well, I saw him, we've had dinner, and we're getting ready to come back now.
His tone was relaxed, and he covered his stomach with his thin white hands, as if he was afraid that his stomach would make another sound.
Jungkook pursed his lips, still looking at the road ahead, feeling strange in his heart.
Kim Taehyung
He's driving, well, I'll ask him.
Sensing the gaze of the young master next to him, Jungkook pretended not to notice it. After a while, he heard the young master calling him cautiously.
Kim Taehyung
Mr. Jeon, my mother said she wanted to say a few words to you, is it convenient for you?
Jungkook didn't speak, stopped the car on the side of the road, and turned his head.
Jeon Jungkook
Give it to me.
Taehyung quickly handed him the phone.
He saw the man take the phone, with one hand still on the steering wheel, answering the question on the other side of the phone calmly.
The phone call ended quickly, Jungkook moved the phone away from his ear, the call interface automatically closed and returned to the original page.
An anonymous post appeared on the screen with a very conspicuous title: [What should I do if I don't like my marriage partner? 】
Jungkook focused his gaze, glanced at the words "My Post" in the upper left corner, and then slowly shifted his gaze to the person next to him.
