Chapter 10

Su Yue was taken aback.

Noah continued, "You fell off a cliff last night and suffered multiple fractures. I've already treated your injuries. Your teachers and classmates have also been notified. You need to rest for a month and stay here until you're fully recovered."

Su Yue then noticed that his right shoulder, chest, arm, leg, and knee were all wrapped in white bandages, and his entire right half of his body was attached to a metal frame, like a robot exoskeleton, but it felt as light as a feather, which he had not noticed before.

He tried moving his wrist—the moment the thought crossed his mind, the arm brace automatically adjusted its angle, turning his right wrist thirty degrees.

"Hiss..." Su Yue frowned as the injury was aggravated.

“This brace will allow you to walk normally,” Noah said, “but try to rest as much as possible until the injury heals.”

Su Yue obediently replied with an "Oh".

He had many questions in his mind, but inexplicably, he trusted Noah.

He'd just rest for a month, that's all. In short, he'd do whatever Noah said.

Honestly, it wasn't because of his face or voice! It was mainly because of the life-saving grace. How else could I repay him besides obeying his every command?

Could it be that I'd offer myself to him?

Realizing something was amiss, Su Yue's expression tightened, and she looked at Noah for help: "Um... my parents?"

If I don't go home for a month, won't my parents be worried sick?

Noah calmly replied, "Don't worry. They only remember sending you to visit distant relatives in Germany; you'll be back in a month."

"Huh? How does this work? Is this... hypnosis?"

Noah didn't explain, only glanced at him indifferently, his lips slightly raised, as if silently questioning: Don't you believe me?

Su Yue turned her face away with a hint of shame.

Noah raised his hand and gently patted the top of his head: "...Take care of your injuries."

Su Yue's face flushed, and he panicked inexplicably. He immediately lowered his eyes and fiddled with his fingers, trying to count: "One, two, three... Ah no, that..." He mustered his courage, raised his head, and looked at the other person: "Thank you, Noah. My name is Su Yue."

Noah smiled slightly: "I know."

When that kid fell off the cliff, his name was shouted as a slogan. It was thanks to this that he was able to find his address, family, and all his basic information in the database.

Su Yue was struck by that smile with a critical hit, his heart pounding like a drum.

After Noah left, he lightly patted his cheek—it didn't hurt, but it felt burning hot, like he had a high fever.

Something's not right...

I've never heard of getting a fever from looking at handsome men. Is this a common occupational hazard for art students—that their immune system gets excited when faced with breathtaking beauty?

hiss--

calm!

Stay calm!

Breathing...breathing...

Meanwhile, in front of Su Yue's house in Weiming Town, Mike rang the doorbell.

He ended his three-day, two-night camping trip early and hitchhiked back to the city alone. Without Su Yue on the itinerary, staying even a moment longer would be incredibly boring!

He felt like he'd lost his mind—when he'd bribed Mr. Philip with tickets to the national football qualifiers to get a spot, he hadn't even figured out if Su Yue was actually going or not…

I tossed and turned all night in the empty tent, but the morning breeze woke me up. I said goodbye to the teacher and slipped away early.

Upon returning to Weiming Town, he drove the new car he had borrowed from his sister straight to Su Yue's house.

She was seething with anger, unsure whether she wanted to see that arrogant pretty boy again, or... kiss him one more time to get her revenge.

When Su Yue's parents opened the door, they said their child wasn't home; he had gone to visit distant relatives in Germany and wouldn't return for a month.

Damn it!

Mike sighed deeply and left, looking lost and dejected.

Inside the stone house, Su Yue sneezed loudly.

Noah walked in carrying a plate of nutritious food, and the big white dog followed happily, wagging its tail.

Unfortunately, the meal wasn't for the dog. It watched helplessly as Noah raised the headboard, pulled out a small table, placed the food plate steadily on it, and then opened the small boxes one by one—the fresh aroma of raw cucumber, the sweet and tender steamed carrot, the toasted bread spread with cheese, the most tempting sausage... the aromas wafted out layer by layer.

Throughout the entire process, the owner's gaze remained fixed on the person on the bed, without giving the dog a second glance.

The white dog let out a howl, rested its large head on the edge of the bed, and stared at the person on the bed with its bright eyes.

Su Yue: "...I heard that Saint Bernards have a big appetite. This meal is a bit much. Should I share some with it?"

Noah paused, then slowly opened the last small box, inside which was a piece of tiramisu.

"...Have you ever seen a Saint Bernard with erect ears and a pure white coat?" he casually reminded him.

The white dog standing nearby wasn't as calm as Noah. The second time it heard "Saint Bernard," it immediately and cleverly realized what was happening.

Its previous docility vanished completely. It suddenly stood up, almost as tall as Noah, looking down at Su Yue with an imposing and intimidating aura. At the same time, it bared its sharp teeth and glared at Su Yue with the murderous intent of a hunter!

Su Yue was startled and instinctively grabbed Noah's arm. If he weren't physically disabled, he would have hung on him.

Saint Bernards are native to the Alps and are known for their large size and gentle temperament, earning them the nickname "gentle giants." The one before us, though enormous, is a "fierce giant."

Su Yue was also completely bewildered: What had he done to offend it? Why did it turn on him so suddenly?

Noah glanced at Su Yue, who was practically clinging to him, looking nervous and uneasy, and said to the white dog, "Alright, he doesn't know, he didn't mean it. He just didn't recognize you as a wolf." He then ruffled Su Yue's hair. "Don't be afraid. The Wolf King usually has a very good temper, he's just proud and doesn't like being treated like a dog."

The wolf king, seeing that he had won, sat down again, looking innocent, his tail swaying gently, more docile than Saint Bernard himself.

Su Yue slowly sat up straight, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

He was actually so frightened by this two-faced wolf that he pounced on Noah like a little girl?!

Sigh... His heroic image is completely ruined.

Perhaps he was the only one in the room feeling awkward. The Wolf King was unfazed, and Noah calmly picked up a metal spoon, scooped a spoonful from the small box, and naturally brought it to his lips.

Su Yue was even more embarrassed.

They just met yesterday, and today someone is feeding them... Isn't this progressing too fast?

Although he has a broken right arm and difficulty using his right hand, he is left-handed! Eating with his left hand is no problem at all!

My stomach started growling uncontrollably...

I didn't eat properly yesterday because I was trying to avoid Mike, and I've been in a deep sleep ever since I fell off the cliff last night, without eating a single grain of rice.

After hesitating for a second, Su Yue obediently opened her mouth.

Perhaps due to nervousness, he didn't taste what the first bite was like, only that it was soft, glutinous, and slightly sweet...

Mmm, delicious.

No sooner had he swallowed than Noah scooped food from different small boxes and fed him bite by bite. His movements were fluid and efficient, without spilling a single drop of soup or grain of rice.

The generously portioned plate was quickly emptied thanks to Noah's efficient feeding.

Finally, Noah reached out and wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth.

Su Yue's ears burned.

He knew Noah was simply taking care of the wounded, but why did he sense a hint of a honeymoon?

Looking into Noah's clear, innocent blue eyes, Su Yue felt a pang of guilt.

Let's hope it doesn't happen again... He doesn't exercise his cardiovascular system regularly, his heart can't handle it...

Noah cleared away the table and plates: "Try to move your fingers as little as possible during this time. You can start eating by yourself once your right arm fracture has healed to the second stage."

Su Yue was taken aback: "How long will the second phase take?"

Noah: "It depends on the individual, about five days."

Su Yue's head buzzed: He was going to be fed for the next five days?! Oh my god!
