Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Madam, the eldest young master has disappeared again

Jiang Li glanced at Jiang Shixu, who stood anxiously behind him, then handed the Red tassel spear to a servant beside him.

"Alright, let's go eat."

After saying that, she strode forward.

Jiang Shixu wanted to grab her hand but stopped mid-air.

Aunt Zhang was still waiting there, smiling as she looked at him, "Young Master Jiang, aren't you coming to eat?"

As several pairs of eyes stared at him from around, Jiang Shixu felt a sudden difficulty in breathing and instinctively wanted to flee.

Flee to that room where he was alone, where there was no sound or color.

However, a disembodied voice cut through these "frightening" gazes and clearly entered his ears.

"Shixu, come here."

Passing through layers of barriers, he saw Jiang Li.

The girl seemed to radiate a gentle glow all around her.

Like his savior.

He quickly ran to his savior's side.

Jiang Li naturally took his hand and they walked down the path to the dining room.

Jiang Shixu paused for a moment.

He usually hated being touched by others, but now he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

On the contrary, the warmth from her palm felt incredibly comforting.

It was like being tightly wrapped in the warm sun of spring.

With his mind completely calmed, Jiang Shixu took a serious look at her for the first time.

She was half a head shorter than him, from his perspective he could just see her serene and beautiful profile and her gently fluttering eyelashes.

The gentleness in her eyes was unusual, yet it held a piercing power through people's hearts.

Mysteriously attractive.

Jiang Shixu slightly bowed his head, his gaze returned to their intertwined hands, feeling another surge of warmth in his heart.

-

Inside the restaurant.

Lin Manru was shocked and almost dropped her chopsticks when she saw her daughter walking in holding Jiang Shixu's hand.

"Shi, Shixu? How did you get up?"

Hearing the question, Jiang Shixu became nervous again and retreated behind Jiang Li.

Jiang Li did not force him to respond to Lin Manru, but gently explained for him.

"He was hungry, so I cooked him a bowl of noodles."

Lin Manru was still taken aback.

The last time she had seen this child was probably six months ago.

He had always been unwilling to interact with people, so why was he so different today?

But it was a good change.

He was willing to leave his room and eat; his condition must be improving.

Should she share this good news with her siblings?

Lin Manru was still pondering when Jiang Li had already brought out a steaming bowl of noodles.

Jiang Shixu followed her like a little tail, sticking close behind her.

Jiang Li seemed to understand that it would be hard for him to come out in just a moment, so she placed the noodles at the least conspicuous spot on the table.

"Eat it while it's hot."

Jiang Shixu's eyes flickered slightly, then he obediently nodded, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat.

The familiar and warm taste settled him completely, even allowing him to automatically ignore the people coming and going around him.

Lin Manru, surprised yet feigning disappointment, sighed.

"I've been a mother for over a decade and haven't yet tasted anything personally cooked by my daughter. Yet, our Shixu is the lucky one."
