Quick Transmigration: I Was Cannon Fodder But Became the White Moonlight

The two stayed in S City for another two days.

There was no set itinerary, no list of must-see attractions, and not even a specific destination.

They were like the most ordinary travelers in this city, aimless yet attentive to everything around them.

Life was simple and relaxed, like the lazy afternoon sun in this city.

Sometimes I sleep until late morning, have a late breakfast at the hotel, and then take a casual stroll along the nearby, unnamed streets.

Lu Yu stayed by Chen Su's side.

Only when she occasionally pauses, when her gaze lingers on an old doorway, a secluded alley, or a food stall wafting an enticing aroma, does she whisper a question:

"Want to go check it out?" or "Want to try some?"

Sometimes, when the afternoon sun is shining brightly, they walk into an inconspicuous little park next to a community, where elderly people are practicing Tai Chi and children are playing.

The two found a bench and sat down. Chen Su looked at the vibrant life force, while Lu Yuze occasionally took out his phone to handle some necessary work emails.

But most of the time, he simply stayed quietly by her side, watching the clouds drift by and listening to the hustle and bustle of the city.

Two days passed quickly in this ordinary yet genuine way.

Lu Yuze booked the return flight, first class, in the afternoon so it wouldn't be too rushed.

When we arrived in City A, the city lights were already on.

Instead of returning directly to Yulan, they went to the Chen family villa first.

Su Wan and Chen Zonghan had already been waiting in the living room after receiving the news.

Seeing the two return side by side, looking natural and affectionate, I finally felt relieved.

They had previously received a notification from Lu Yuze that the two of them had gone to City S.

It was all too sudden, and since Chen Su hadn't returned for a long time, they assumed the two had had some kind of falling out.

"Dad, Mom, we're back." Chen Su walked over, and Su Wan immediately grabbed her hand and looked her up and down.

She seems to have lost some weight, but her complexion is still good.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back," Su Wan said repeatedly, then looked at Lu Yuze, "Yuze, thank you for your hard work."

"Auntie, you're too kind. It's my pleasure." Lu Yu nodded slightly, his demeanor composed.

Chen Zonghan also walked over, patted Lu Yuze on the shoulder, his gaze sweeping between the two of them before finally asking gently, "How was your time in S City? Are you settling in well?"

Chen Su nodded, a relaxed smile on her face: "Yeah, it's great. The old town of S City has a lot of character, and the food is delicious too."

Her words visibly relieved Su Wan and Chen Zonghan, and their smiles became much more genuine.

Chen Zhixia was also at home. She came downstairs, saw them, and greeted them with a smile. The atmosphere was harmonious and natural.

The family sat and chatted for a while, mostly Chen's parents asking about the sights and sights of S City. Chen Su picked out some interesting things to talk about, while Lu Yu occasionally added a sentence or two.

Dinner was served at the Chen family's house, and the atmosphere was warm and cozy.

After the meal, they sat for a while longer before Lu Yuze got up to say goodbye and left with Chen Su.

That evening, the two returned to Yulan.

The furnishings were familiar, the atmosphere was familiar, but something seemed different.

After Chen Su finished showering, Lu Yu was already leaning against the headboard reading a book.

She dried her hair, walked over, and naturally lifted the covers to lie down.

Lu Yu put down his book, reached out and pulled her into his arms, nuzzling his chin against the top of her head.

"Are you tired?" he asked in a low voice.

"A little." Chen Su leaned against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, and a long-lost feeling of weariness mixed with peace of mind and a sense of belonging welled up inside her.

"Go to sleep." He turned off the light, put his arm around her, and said nothing more.

In the darkness, the two slept in each other's arms, their breathing gradually becoming heavy.

The understated intimacy and tacit understanding that had developed in City S these past few days seemed to have naturally returned, with less deliberate probing and more of a natural ease.

In the days that followed, life seemed to return to a certain track, yet it was clearly different from the past.

Lu Yu remained busy.

When he returned to Yulan in the evening, he would occasionally ask her about her daytime plans, in a casual and relaxed tone rather than interrogating her.

Chen Su would also naturally share some trivial things, such as having afternoon tea with a friend she hadn't seen in a long time, going to see a nice art exhibition, or simply reading a book at home.

Lu Yu listened, occasionally offering responses, but no longer pressing for details.

They got along peacefully and harmoniously, like a couple who had gone through a period of adjustment and finally found the right rhythm.

Hugs and kisses become natural, filled with warmth and understanding, no longer always associated with unease and testing.

They also went back to the Lu residence.

Lu Yichuan was sprawled on the living room sofa playing games when he heard the noise and looked up. When he saw Lu Yuze and Chen Su walking in side by side, his eyes widened instantly, and he almost dropped the game controller in his hand.

He looked at Chen Su.

He looked well and appeared calm.

While Lu Yuze was being called to the study by the old Mr. Lu to discuss matters, Lu Yichuan sneaked over to Chen Su, who was looking at flowers on the balcony of the living room, like a thief.

Lowering her voice, her tone filled with disbelief and a hint of worry, she asked, "Hey, Chen Su! You...you're really alright? My brother...he didn't do anything to you, did he?"

He looked Chen Su up and down carefully.

Chen Su turned around and looked at him like this, feeling a warmth in her heart and a bit amused.

She shook her head, her tone sincere: "I'm fine. Lu Yichuan, look, I'm perfectly alright."

Lu Yichuan clearly didn't believe him, and pursed his lips: "Then what about before..." He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was obvious.

Chen Su pursed her lips, her expression becoming much more serious, and whispered, "Lu Yichuan, thank you for what I did before. Really."

This expression of gratitude was heartfelt. Regardless of Lu Yichuan's motives for helping her, she would always remember the helping hand extended in her desperate situation.

Lu Yichuan was taken aback by her sudden thanks, then turned his face away somewhat awkwardly and chuckled.

His tone remained awkward and irritating: "Stop it, that's so cheesy. Who needs your thanks? It's good that you're alright..."

He scratched his head, then brought up another matter, his tone tinged with self-deprecation, "You seem fine, but I'm heading to Munich next week."

Chen Su exclaimed "Ah!" with surprise on her face: "To Munich? Why? How long will you be gone?"

She knew nothing about it.

Lu Yichuan twitched the corner of his mouth and explained briefly, "The night you ran away, my brother visited my humble abode and kindly inquired about my travel arrangements."

He didn't say the specifics, but Chen Su understood instantly.

It's because he helped her.

A wave of guilt washed over me.

"Lu Yuze and I will go and talk to him," Chen Su said immediately, her brows furrowed. "You don't need to go. This whole thing started because of me..."

"Stop." Lu Yichuan interrupted her, waving his hand. The frivolity on his face lessened, replaced by a carefree expression. "Go if you want, it's not like I'm being exiled to the frontier. The Munich branch is a good place to learn something and do some serious work. I can still enjoy myself without any problems. I'll live a very comfortable life there."

He glanced at Chen Su, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something more, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Just then, a calm and even voice sounded behind him:

"It's time to eat."

Lu Yu, having finished his business at some point, appeared silently at the junction of the living room and the balcony, his tall figure casting a detached glance over the two people standing close together.

Chen Su and Lu Yichuan were both startled, as if they had been caught red-handed by their homeroom teacher for whispering behind each other's backs.

Chen Su turned around, saw Lu Yuze, and subconsciously said "Oh," replying, "Okay, I'm coming."

Lu Yichuan swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He touched his nose, shrugged at Chen Su, said "Let's eat, let's eat," and then turned and walked towards the restaurant.

His back view didn't reveal much of the gloom of someone about to leave the country; instead, it showed a sense of relief and ease.

Lu Yu walked to Chen Su's side and naturally took her hand, his fingertips warm.

He didn't ask what they were talking about, but his gaze lingered on her face for a moment to make sure she looked normal before he took her hand and led her to the restaurant.
