Turns out I'm a scheming little cannon fodder

Chapter 29

Chu Xiao, who had gotten up for exercise in the morning, ran a few laps in the Duke's Mansion. It was not yet bright, and there were a few stars twinkling in the sky. He stopped in front of the window of Shen Ruo's room.

After watching for a while, Chu Xiao decided to look for Shen Ruo. He hadn't seen him in the past two days, so he reached out and knocked on the window.

No one answered and the room was dark.

Shen Ruo usually gets up early, and usually the lights will turn on even if he hasn't gotten up at this time. When he was running yesterday morning, Shen Ruo turned on the lights at this time.

The temperature outside was a bit low, and the heat from Chu Xiao's run had dissipated a bit.

Could it be that he hadn't woken up yet? Thinking of this, Chu Xiao stopped knocking on Shen Ruo's window, thinking to wait until Shen Ruo got up before talking.

It was this oversight. After taking the plate from the servant and preparing to deliver breakfast to him, Chu Xiao knocked on the door several times without waiting for an answer, so he opened the door and went in. As a result, he found that Shen Ruo was missing. .

He immediately turned on the surveillance camera and found that Shen Ruo had gotten up at around four o'clock and quietly left the Duke's Mansion with his suitcase. Chu Xiao was so angry that he punched the wall.

Using his authority, Chu Xiao found out which flight Shen Ruo bought and rushed there immediately. Fortunately, he was able to catch the person.

For Shen Ruo, he was almost able to go home, but for Chu Xiao, this "almost" was not very good either, because Shen Ruo almost ran away.

——

After eating, Shen Ruo wiped his mouth and hands and still sat there without moving. Apart from being afraid of Chu Xiao, he also didn't know what to do. At this time, he was already on the starship returning to Cross Star.

When Chu Xiao saw that he didn't want to eat, he put down his chopsticks. Shen Ruo ate everything in the bowl. According to his usual food intake, he was probably full, so Chu Xiao said nothing more.

Shen Ruo was silent and quiet, sitting there without saying a word. He lowered his head slightly and did not look at Chu Xiao.

The long eyelashes trembled slightly, and Shen Ruo pinched the corner of his clothes unconsciously. Chu Xiao caught all his movements and knew that he was uneasy.

But even Chu Xiao couldn't figure out why Shen Ruo suddenly became estranged from him. They even went to his graduation ceremony together before this family dinner. Shen Ruo didn't behave in any abnormal way.

Moving his fingers slightly, Chu Xiao wanted to smoke a cigarette again, but after taking a look at Shen Ruo, he still put down his hand.

The two of them were seated next to each other. They had always eaten like this before, and it was the same today.

After suppressing all his annoyance, Chu Xiao patiently wanted to ask Shen Ruo what happened.

"Why do you want to leave suddenly?"

The irritability just now was gone from the magnetic sound, and it could be heard that Chu Xiao was trying his best to restrain himself.

Seeing Shen Ruo who was so silent, he felt very unhappy. He had obviously coaxed her well before, she could smile and talk in front of him, and she smiled so sweetly and was so well-behaved. Suddenly she became like this. Who was Chu Xiao? Unwillingly.
