Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Even though Mom and Dad are often not at home,

we have several aunts in our family.

Even the aunt responsible for cooking was personally selected by Dad.

So from childhood to now, I've tasted almost every kind of delicacy.

This rock-hard bread in front of me really doesn't whet my appetite.

Seeing me sitting still, Jiang Cheng frowned a bit.

"Not eating?"

"Picky?"

I looked up, eyes wide, intending to use a trick my uncle taught me.

But before I could even deploy it, Jiang Cheng already saw through my intention.

He squatted down, chuckling lightly at me, and pulled out a small experimental knife from somewhere, playing with it in his hand.

"Pretending to be pitiful? That trick doesn't work on me."

"Do you know how your mom cured my picky eating habit?"

"First, she starved me for a few meals, and then made me eat snakes and insects. Since then, I can swallow anything, even trash."

"It's just as well summer is coming, there are lots of bugs behind my house. Want to try?"

I was so scared I couldn't even swallow my saliva.

Was Mom really this terrifying before?!

But seeing this scary Jiang Cheng's submissive attitude towards Mom made it hard not to believe it.

I quickly grabbed the bread in front of me and took a big bite.

"S-second Uncle, this bread is so delicious, it's worthy of being from your house."

Jiang Cheng snorted coldly and stood up, putting down the small knife.

It was only then I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.

He turned around and continued fussing with his experimental equipment, after a while a muffled voice came over—

"Hurry up and eat, when you're done, I'll send you home. Don't get in my way here."

I swallowed the bread with effort, my brain spinning quickly for a while, finally gathering the courage to say—

"Uncle, next month is my birthday, and I want a present...."

After saying this, I closed my eyes, fearing that in the next second I would be like those poor snakes and bugs devoured by Jiang Cheng.

But to my surprise, Jiang Cheng didn't move, nor did he seem angry, he just asked softly:

"What do you want?"

My heart stirred.

This tone sounds... like Second Uncle doesn't seem to hate me as much?

So I mustered up the courage and ran in front of him.

"Second Uncle, I want a little sister!"

Jiang Cheng expressionlessly continued fiddling with his instruments.

"Jiang Yan already gave you a little sister, isn't that enough?"

"Don't try to mess with me, I'll never get married in this life."

I lowered my head and explained, "I know Second Uncle is a scientist, dedicating your life to science. I didn't mean for you to give me a little sister. I meant, can you persuade Mom to—"

With a "snap," the conduit in Jiang Cheng's hand snapped in two.

His gaze slowly lowered.

I had never seen such a frightening look.

Like a villain with red glowing eyes in a cartoon.

My mind went blank, my ears intermittently catching his cold voice.

"Haha, ask your sister to give birth again? Kid, can't you tell I dislike you?"

He raised that knife again.

"When you were born, everyone was happy except me, hiding in the corner watching my pale-faced sister."

"From that moment, I swore that if Gu made her give birth again, I wouldn't mind castrating him."

"Since you want a sister so much... then let's make a choice, I only accept one nephew."

I couldn't hold it anymore, and burst into tears.

The crying didn't make Jiang Cheng flinch at all; instead, it attracted others.

With a "clack," the living room door opened, and a fluffy head poked in.

I was too busy crying to even care who was coming.

Only hearing the person mumble "Why is it so dark, Jiang Cheng, aren't you turning on the light?" followed by a "snap," turning the light on.

The living room immediately lit up like daylight.

No, that's wrong.

It's actually daytime now!

It's all because Second Uncle, this horrible villain, insisted on decorating his house so gloomily!

That person then happily clapped his hands, "Looks like the light I picked is great, just like a little sun."

Jiang Cheng disapprovingly wrinkled his brows, covering his eyes with one hand and pointing at me with the other.

"Quickly take this nuisance away, it's annoying me to death."

Soon after, I was picked up, falling into a warm embrace.

The familiar warmth stopped my crying, I opened my eyes and saw it was my favorite Third Uncle!

Jiang Shixu looked at me with crescent-shaped eyes, wiping my tears.

"Almost going to the big class of a big kid, how come you're still crying?"

Saying that, he looked at the bread in my hand, and took it away.

"Jiang Cheng, you only gave Panpan this to eat?"

For some reason, I always felt Jiang Cheng was a bit different in front of Jiang Shixu.

Just like a big black dog petted into submission.

After retracting his fangs, temporarily tamed.

He pouted, throwing the broken conduit into the trash bin.

"This is all that's at home, otherwise we'll have to go hungry."

Jiang Shixu also threw that bread into the trash, coaxing me further.

"How about going to Third Uncle's house? Third Uncle will cook for you."

I nodded quickly like a pecking chicken.

"Jiang Cheng, you come too." Jiang Shixu invited.

Jiang Cheng shook his head, "No, I haven't finished this experiment yet, maybe later."

"Alright then, we'll head off first."

And so, I was taken to Third Uncle's house.

Compared to the cold and dark Jiang Cheng's house, Jiang Shixu's place was simply heaven.

The living room was warm and bright, filled with various green plants.

Beside it was a huge music room, filled with all kinds of musical instruments.

All these valuable instruments, Third Uncle lets me touch, even if I accidentally break them, he never gets angry.

Except for that one sealed guitar with butterflies on the wall.

Third Uncle never let me touch that.

That guitar seemed to be a gift from Mom to him.

In fact, there's a small space behind the guitar that Jiang Shixu never lets anyone enter.

Once during a nap, I sneaked in once.

The moment I opened the door, I was dumbfounded.

Because the walls of that room were covered with Mom's photos!

Since then, I've never dared to go into that space again.

Before that, I thought Jiang Cheng was the real weirdo in this family.

Didn't expect seemingly gentle sunny Third Uncle to be a total weirdo!

He even holds the title of a god-like singer with fans across half of East Asia!

This is also why, despite how annoying Jiang Yan is, I still prefer his house.

Because comparatively, he's still the most normal.

Oh, by the way, don't be fooled by how gentle and considerate Third Uncle is.

He's actually a renowned king of sad love songs.

Every album he released since debuting can make people cry to death.

And what surprised me even more is that on occasion, I've heard Jiang Yan mention that when Third Uncle was young, he was severely autistic and depressed.

He couldn't even talk in complete sentences.

But looking at Third Uncle slicing vegetables in the kitchen, humming a little tune, I seriously doubt that was just Jiang Yan's wild imagination!
