Do Cannon Fodder Have to Go to School Too?

Bei Qingxian transmigrates into a novel where readers choose their love interest, as a cannon-fodder character. His mother becomes the mistress of a wealthy man in his sixties, and he suddenly finds himself a young master of a wealthy family.

The eldest brother, Li Tingyu, is a born star from the wealthy man's first marriage, with a divorced ex-wife. He is a formidable business tycoon, the sole heir to the family empire, and the most popular of the five male leads in the original story.

The second brother is the protagonist, a pure and innocent beauty brought into the family by the wealthy man's second wife. He's charming and alluring, with a tragic background, and all five male leads are captivated by him.

The original Bei Baobao is the wealthy man's mistress's son, a burden she brings with her after the second wife dies unexpectedly. He foolishly tries to seduce Li Tingyu, constantly bullies the protagonist, and fans the flames of his own self-destruction every day.

On the first day after transmigrating, Bei Qingxian lies in bed and plays on his phone all day.

On the second day, he lies in the garden and sunbathes all day.

On the third day, he lies on the sofa and plays video games all day.

If he can lie down, he absolutely will not stand.

Li Tingyu notices that his troublemaking younger brother hasn't stirred up trouble in days.

The protagonist worries: Is Baobao troubled by something?

Li Tingyu: A beating should fix that.

Their wealthy father and his mistress go abroad for their honeymoon. As the family's only guardian, Li Tingyu is responsible for looking after his two younger brothers, so he knocks on Bei Qingxian's door.

The door never opens.

He listens closely and hears the sound of potato chips being eaten inside.

Li Tingyu: ...

A week later, Bei Qingxian comes down for a meal and Li Tingyu catches him.

Bei Qingxian bursts into tears: Big Brother, I don't eat much. Please don't starve me to death QAQ

In the original story, Bei Baobao's behavior is so vile that he hurts the protagonist, and Li Tingyu dumps him on a deserted island, where he starves to death.

Li Tingyu: School's starting. You need to go.

Bei Qingxian: ?

Bei Qingxian: ...Even cannon fodder has to go to school?

After school starts.

While the other love interests get jealous over the protagonist, Bei Qingxian treats it as background noise and sleeps on his desk.

While the other love interests are heartbroken over the protagonist, Bei Qingxian lies on the lawn and peacefully closes his eyes.

While the other love interests fight over the protagonist, a watermelon Bei Qingxian bought with his precious fifty yuan gets smashed, and he sadly slips into the protagonist's arms.

Bei Qingxian: Waaah, my watermelon...

The protagonist: How dare you smash the watermelon Baobao picked out so carefully? That's too much! I'm breaking up with you!

The other love interests: ...

Li Tingyu arrives to pick them up and sees the calamity caused by a single watermelon: ...

The protagonist invites Bei Qingxian to play Sleeping Beauty in an opera.

Lying on a prop bed surrounded by flowers, Bei Qingxian gradually drifts off to sleep.

The prince enters. Looking at Bei Qingxian's lovely face, soft and peacefully asleep, he can't help wanting to really kiss him.

Suddenly, a phone flies straight at the prince and hits him squarely.

In front of everyone's eyes, Li Tingyu rises from the front row. His tall, imposing figure radiates a chill.

Without a word of explanation, Li Tingyu strides onto the stage and scoops Bei Qingxian up.

Bei Qingxian wakes groggily: Big Brother?

Li Tingyu: Let's go home and sleep.

Later, Li Tingyu knocks on Bei Qingxian's door again.

Bei Qingxian opens it, poking out his obedient little head: I didn't sneak any snacks.

Li Tingyu wedges his leather shoe into the doorway, pushes inside, then shuts and locks the door: Big Brother says you can sneak a snack, but you'll have to eat something else.

Until the early hours of the morning...

Bei Qingxian: Liar! You snuck a bite of me!

The receiver's stepfather and mother never registered their marriage, so the top and bottom have no legal blood relation.

The top only falls for the receiver after he transmigrates.

Top: 28. Receiver: 19. One-on-one, happy ending.
