Turned out I am a Scheming Little Cannon Fodder

emperor star.

Tall buildings stand tall, and various aircraft shuttle back and forth.

There is a lot of traffic at each exit of the starship berthing port. After all, this is Emperor Star, the center of the entire empire.

There are many exits from the berthing port, and the ground, underground and air transportation are very convenient.

Shen Ruo pulled the suitcase and walked out from one of the exits. Compared with most of the people rushing around, his clothes looked a bit old, but they were washed very clean.

There are many people who come to Emperor Star, from any planet, poor and rich, Shen Ruo's clothes are a bit worn out, and he is not the only one like this.

Mingling in the crowd, the thin Shen Ruo was unremarkable.

He was walking forward, his long bangs covered his eyes, he lowered his head so he didn't look around, his lips were slightly pursed, he seemed to be the type who didn't like to talk very much, he just walked forward, and his steps were light.

From head to toe, Shen Ruo gave off a quiet and introverted look, coupled with a somewhat pale face, which made him look gloomy and silent.

There are robots patrolling and inspecting, and the blue light emitted from the mechanical eyes searches for all possible dangers.

Walking out of the transparent passage, Shen Ruo stopped at the side of the road.

Looking up at the heights, the sun was a bit dazzling, and he covered his eyes with one hand to block the sunlight.

The knuckles of that finger are slender, which can be called good-looking, and the nails are round and neatly cut, and they are well-groomed.

The building of Dixing is tall and beautiful.

Those flying machines that fly past are all new in style, of course, they are not without old models, even old models are uncommon for Shen Ruo.

Cross star has been down for a long time.

"Xiao Ruo."

A middle-aged man who hurried out of the aisle with a suitcase in hand called out to Shen Ruo.

"Second Uncle." Shen Ruo spoke in a low voice.

"Let's go, Second Uncle has bought a ticket."

Shen Ping said to Shen Ruo with a smile, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were obvious, even with a smile, he still looked a little cramped, especially when looking at Shen Ruo.

After hesitating for a while, Shen Ping finally said nothing, took Shen Ruo to find the platform, and prepared to go to Chu's house.

The levitation train runs every 3 minutes, and they arrived just in time.

There were a lot of people, and the two walked to the last carriage with their suitcases before finding their seats and sitting down.

Emperor Star is huge, twice the size of Cross Star, and naturally has more land area than Cross Star.

Looking at the various high-rise buildings flashing by outside the window, Shen Ruo thought of the information about Emperor Star that he had read on the optical brain.

Of course, not all places on Emperor Star are extremely prosperous. There are also countryside and small towns. They came to the imperial capital on Emperor Star, and this is the center of the center.

It takes more than three hours to take the public suspension train from the port of the imperial capital to Duke Chu's mansion.

The car drove very steadily, without any bumps. Shen Ruo's pale face turned better because the discomfort caused by the starship jumping space node was gradually disappearing when the final approach was approaching.

"Xiao Ruo, would you like some fruit?"

Shen Ping sat on the seat opposite to him, took out a bag of washed fruit from the suitcase and asked, it was brought from home, so there was no need to spend money on the way.

"No second uncle, I feel sick in my stomach and can't eat."

Shen Ruo shook her head, got up and took the cups for two people, and went to the place where the water was collected.

Looking at his back, Shen Ping sighed.

After Shen Ruo came back from receiving the water, he had a smile on his face again, and his wrinkles were still obvious.

It was early summer, and they took the transfer starship for two days. The starship directly to Emperor Star was more expensive, so it was cheaper.

The day before coming here, the Shen family's farm in Cross Star was harvesting red rice, also known as blood rice, blood rice.

There are very few workers, and everyone in the Shen family needs to go to work, and so does Shen Ping, especially since he is still the main labor force in the family, and he has to worry about a lot of work.

Shen Ruo used to help, but this year, the second uncle's family stopped him and didn't let him work.

The train moved forward, and when it arrived at the station, people kept getting on and off the train.

Shen Ping leaned on the back of the seat and ran all the way. Before he came, he had done a lot of work, and he didn't sleep well on the starship. Now he was so exhausted that he couldn't open his eyes gradually.

Seeing him falling asleep, Shen Ruo relaxed his already light hands and feet, and put down the glass carefully after drinking the water.

With one hand resting on the small table in front of her, Shen Ruo raised her chin and quietly looked outside.

There are too many differences between Emperor Star and Cross Star.

The strange planet and the strange city made Shen Ruo's confusion and helplessness emerge again.

The outside world is bustling and lively, but he just felt uneasy when he arrived here for the first time.

Will the Chu family accept him?

-

The Duke's Mansion is very large and is a manor-style mansion.

In the lobby on the first floor of the main building, Shen Ruo, who had just walked in, heard the sound of someone walking on the stairs, and the sound was getting closer and closer to the first floor.

"Master."

Hearing the servants walking up the stairs and the housekeeper who brought them address each other like this, Shen Ruo subconsciously looked up.

His gaze fell into the eyes of the young man with a warm smile, and he froze for a moment.

Soon came to his senses, Shen Ruo lowered his head slightly, afraid that he would be rude, and also afraid of being laughed at, he saw a man in a daze.

Seeing the old clothes on his body, he pursed his lips, and suddenly felt ashamed, feeling that he was out of place with the Duke's Mansion. This feeling came abruptly, but he probably knew where it came from.

Some people are naturally attractive, and they are a focal point among the crowd, and Chu Xiao is like this.

He is tall and has long legs, slender and tall, with excellent proportions, and his black suit fits him well.

There was a gentle smile on his handsome face. After seeing Shen Ruo, Chu Xiao asked, "Is it Shen Ruo?"

The voice is slightly low, with irresistible magnetism.

Whether it was Chu Xiao, the housekeeper or the uncle, all eyes were on Shen Ruo at this moment. He was a little embarrassed, looked at Chu Xiao with apprehensive eyes, said "um" in a low voice, and lowered his eyes after speaking.

"I'm Chu Xiao."

While speaking, Chu Xiao made a gesture of invitation, which was indescribably pleasing to the eye. He smiled gently at Shen Ruo, without any contempt for the other party's status and clothing.

The elders of the Chu family also arrived. It was Chu Xiao's grandma, a kind-hearted old lady.

Seeing the badge that Shen Ruo took out, Mrs. Chu seemed to have memories in her eyes, she burst into tears, and finally laughed again, looking at Shen Ruo with a smile, and asked him to put the things away.

This was given to Shen Ruo by the Duke of Chu eight years ago, and since then, the little Shen Ruo knew that he had a marriage contract, and the other party was the same age as him, only two months younger.

At the beginning, Shen Ruo didn't understand what it meant, so Duke Chu touched his head and told him about Chu Xiao.

Chu Xiao was often beaten by him, jumping up and down after the beating, he was not honest at all, he took the eight-year-old Chu Xiao to machine the armor, Chu Xiao refused to listen to him, and finally the two had a dispute, robbed control, and the machine armor ended up It crashed, but luckily they both jumped out.

Grandpa Chu also said that when he sees Chu Xiao in the future, remember to touch his hair. He is a master who eats soft but not hard, and it is not easy to train, but if Chu Xiao really makes Shen Ruo angry, he will teach Xiao Ruo that. asshole.

In the end, the body of the old Duke of Chu was taken away from Cross Star by the Chu family, and Shen Ruo never saw the grandfather who was so kind to him again.

Holding that badge in the palm of her hand, Shen Ruo glanced at Chu Xiao.

Chu Xiao looked very gentle. For a short while, Chu Xiao gave Shen Ruo a refined and well-bred impression.

That's right, Grandpa Chu told him back then that it was Chu Xiao when he was a child, but now that he grows up, people will change.

Just like him, he promised Grandpa Chu when he was a child, but when he grows up, he doesn't want to come to Emperor Star, because the Chu family has never contacted them these years, and even he is not sure whether the Chu family knows that Grandpa Chu has arranged for them. marriage contract.

But in the end, he still came with his second uncle, and the Chu family has not made things difficult for them until now.

Shen Ruo'an is quiet, and the elders will answer in a low voice when asked, and it's not the kind that dare not speak at all, it's just that they don't talk much when they meet strangers.

Mrs. Chu smiled and chatted with him, while Chu Xiao also smiled softly, took the conversation from time to time, and said a few words to Shen Ruo, and wanted to show him around the Duke's mansion.

If Shen Ruo is here and has just arrived at the Duke's Mansion, Shen Ping did not mention the marriage contract.

It was almost time for dinner, Chu Xiao and Mrs. Chu invited Shen Ruo and Shen Ping to dinner, there was no one else, the atmosphere of the four was quite happy.

After washing his hands, when he arrived at the dining room, Chu Xiao quickly walked to the table and opened the chair for Mrs. Chu.

After she sat down, Shen Ruo was about to sit down, but a big hand stretched out beside her and gently stopped him.

"I come."

The magnetic voice with a smile was pleasant to the ear, Chu Xiao was very gentlemanly, and pulled the stool for Shen Ruo.

Old Mrs. Chu looked surprised, but she still didn't say anything. Shen Ping pulled the stool by himself. He was a man, not a woman or a subhuman, and he needed such a caring gentleman to take care of him.

The four sat down, and soon a waiter brought a plate.

The restaurant was brightly lit, and the waiters who served the food wore uniforms and bow ties. They were decent and clean. Shen Ruo picked up the knife and fork, and the sleeves were clean, but they were obviously old.

Everything around him was bright, except him, which was dusty.

Moreover, Chu Xiao sat beside him.

On the way here, Shen Ruo had never seen a well-dressed person, but this one in front of him was someone who might marry him, even though they had never seen him before.

Chu Xiao is the kind of person who can be noticed at a glance in the crowd. He has a prominent family background and is a well-educated noble son.

So when she saw Chu Xiao for the first time and was surprised by his appearance, Shen Ruo unconsciously felt a certain cowardice in her heart, and she always felt that standing in front of him was extremely ordinary.

No matter how approachable Chu Xiao was, Shen Ruo was still so cramped that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet, because there was a big difference between the two when they saw the first comparison.

When talking in the living room, he tried his best to act more natural, and he still did it now, but he didn't know that that kind of cautiousness still fell into Chu Xiao's eyes, his movements were very light, and he was very careful not to let the knife and fork make any noise.

"Do you want to use chopsticks?"

Chu Xiao turned his head and asked Shen Ruo. After speaking, seeing Shen Ruo's hesitant expression, he smiled and asked the waiter to bring four pairs of chopsticks.

"Xiao Ruo, don't be restrained, just like at home, we also use chopsticks."

Seeing what Chu Xiao said, Mrs. Chu put down the knife and fork in her hand, and took the lead in using chopsticks, very kindly.

Chu Xiao also picked up the chopsticks, and smiled at Shen Ruo. Although he didn't speak, he raised the chopsticks in his hand slightly, obviously as a signal to Shen Ruo.

Putting down the poorly used knife and fork, Shen Ruo's eyes were obviously bent, and she smiled gratefully at Chu Xiao.

Shen Ruo turned his head to eat seriously, but he didn't see it. After Chu Xiao saw the smile, his eyes were slightly surprised and curious, as if he was very interested in Shen Ruo, but he immediately returned to his gentle appearance.
