Chapter 105
After taking the car to the foot of the mountain, and then going up, you can choose to use the teleportation device to walk and teleport effortlessly, or rely on your own legs to climb the mountain.
Noah didn't bring too many people this time. Apart from him and Shigure, there were only Nicole, Yulai, and an Alpha from a branch family. It seemed that he was also being trained as a guard and had been following Noah diligently.
...What Noah said was true. When he was with him, Xiu would not be around.
Shi Yu averted his gaze and silently felt relieved.
They used the teleportation device to reach the first viewing point. When they crossed the wooden bridge, the view was wide. Along the distant mountain ridges, layers of misty white clouds came into view.
Shi Yu covered his eyes with his hands to block the sun, then happily ran to the wooden bridge and looked into the distance. If he looked carefully, he seemed to be able to see the bustling market at the foot of the mountain!
A gentle breeze blew through the mountains. Even at noon, amidst the lush green mountains, a hint of chill remained. Shi Yu touched his arm and couldn't help but sneeze. Yu Lai froze for a moment, and just as he was about to unbutton his coat, Nicole gracefully stepped forward, bowed slightly, and handed the coat to Noah.
Noah nodded to her in thanks, then walked over to Shi Yu and carefully put clothes on her.
Shi Yu looked at him with some surprise, subconsciously gathered his coat, huddled up, and whispered, "Thank you."
When we were heading to the next viewing point, we were told by the staff guarding the device nearby that the transmission device was under maintenance and could not be used temporarily because a new tourist route was to be developed in the mountainous area.
"Then, are the other devices functioning normally?" Noah asked.
"It can be used normally," the staff member recalled, "but you need to walk to the third scenic spot, which is about four or five kilometers."
Noah nodded and thanked him. Shi Yu sighed behind him. He thought he could just come out and have fun easily, but he didn't expect that he still had to climb a mountain.
"Shigure, do you want to go? If you're tired, we can give up and go down the mountain now."
Noah walked over to him, observed the device pulled out by the cordon, frowned and said, "The transmission devices in a region usually share lines. The second one cannot be used. I am worried that the device will also have problems after reaching the third scenic spot."
"But..." Shi Yu hesitated. She glanced at Yu Lai and Nicole behind her. "Isn't it still early? We just came out."
"How about we go to the third scenic spot first? If it doesn't work, we can come back later, okay?"
The girl was rarely interested, so Noah chuckled and agreed.
However, Shi Yu immediately regretted it.
A four or five thousand meter walk is nothing on flat ground, but Shi Yu really can't handle walking uphill all the time. She has never been very good at sports... But seeing the three Alphas next to her and even Nicole, who all looked so relaxed and at ease, without blushing or panting, Shi Yu gritted her teeth and persevered.
By the end of the walk, her legs were a little sore. Nicole supported her and after taking a look at the small pond in the woods, she turned back and asked Noah expectantly,
"How is it? Can the teleportation device here be used?"
"I just checked, it should be working fine."
"Great!" Shi Yu sat down on the bench and rubbed his legs with a bitter face. "Then can we rest for a while before setting off?"
Noah hummed, and followed her to sit on the bench. Due to the limitations of the monitoring ring, there was a suitable space between the two of them.
The shadows of the trees swayed, and the sunlight that leaked through was scattered on the ground and the surrounding ponds. The atmosphere was quiet and comfortable. Shi Yu held his chin and looked at the children in the distance who were holding wooden signs picked up from somewhere and fighting each other with swords. Suddenly, he felt a little dazed.
If that accident hadn't happened last year, would the person sitting next to her and looking at the forest scenery together not be Noah, but her parents...?
“…Noah.”
"Um?"
The silver-haired, purple-eyed boy glanced sideways, quietly and patiently waiting for her voice.
"Thank you for bringing me out, and thank you for what happened these days..." she said.
Apart from Noah's coercion of her at the beginning, in fact, when she thinks carefully, he took good care of herself after coming to Sturga, and he did separate herself from Xiu.
Noah smiled, his voice filled with helplessness: "Really? As long as you don't hate what I do, I will be satisfied."
“…”
"Feel sorry."
Shi Yu looked away, and Noah seemed to realize something and said gently, "My wording just now was inappropriate, please don't take it to heart."
He always said something ambiguous, Shi Yu thought, even when they first spoke on the phone.
Is it fun to tease her?
"Noah, you said before..."
Yulai went to buy her some water. Nicole and another Alpha also stood at a distance. Shigure pursed her lips and reminded him with determination, "You don't want to enter a trial marriage period. You're with me only to relieve the pressure from your family and father."
"Yes, that's right."
"Me too. I'm here to try marriage with you because I don't want your family to continue to embarrass those who helped me."
The girl's soft voice fell, like a raindrop melting in the green rocks, and was instantly drowned out by the sound of the vibrating cicada wings.
The sharp hissing cut through the air, as if it was the fuse that brought the summer heat from the outside world into this cool forest.
"So, stop saying things like that..."
"I know we're just in a transactional relationship. If you're not serious, stop talking."
After finally saying what he wanted to say, Shi Yu lowered his eyes, and his heart suddenly felt a little sad.
She has always been wary of Noah and always loses her temper with him. Is it because she really hates him?
...Maybe. Shi Yu still feels disgusted by the behavior he forced on her in the beginning, but she doesn't understand how great the impact of compatibility is. When two people with almost perfect compatibility are together, they attract each other like the two poles of a magnet. What kind of fatal attraction do they have to each other?
Noah, the always gentle and kind eldest son of Sturga, who remembered everything she said and her preferences, allowed her to act unreasonable from time to time, and would patiently and gently comfort her Alpha afterwards.
Shi Yu felt inexplicably panicked, she wasn't sure if her transformation was normal or not.
But occasionally... she would feel it.
Noah is no longer as annoying and offensive as before...
The air was quiet for a while, then Noah sighed softly, rubbed his forehead, and said again: "What I said just now was not well thought out. I'm sorry, I won't do it next time."
Shi Yu shook his head silently.
Yulai happened to come back at this moment. Shi Yu took the water he handed him and stood up as if to quickly end this unbearable atmosphere. He lowered his head and said, "Let's go? I'm rested."
"Okay, Yulai, please go call them."
"Oh, okay."
Yulai obediently went to call the other two accompanying personnel over. The park's teleportation device can transport two people at a time. In order to ensure safety, the first group was Nicole and Noah's temporary guards, the second wave was Shigure and Noah, and finally Yulai.
After what just happened, Shi Yu was a little reluctant to teleport with Noah, but then she thought, she hadn't said anything about herself! She had just been blaming Noah... Aside from feeling a little uncomfortable, she didn't suffer any loss.
There were not many people near the teleportation device, except for a few children who were just seen holding wooden signs and playing around. I don’t know if it was because the device at the second attraction was under maintenance, but the number of people at the third attraction dropped sharply. At a glance, there were only vendors and their children nearby.
"Nicole, Allen, you guys go ahead and teleport first. When you arrive, be sure to send me a message first."
Noah glanced around with some concern on his face. Nicole and Alan nodded in agreement and stepped forward to start teleporting.
Two minutes later, Noah's terminal received a message that the two had arrived safely.
Noah breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shigure with a smile: "Shigure, shall we go too?"
Shi Yu didn't look at him and walked forward silently.
When the transmission device started, Shi Yu's mind suddenly became dizzy with a sense of weightlessness. She had just experienced this feeling, so she was not very panicked.
But to Shi Yu's surprise, the feeling of weightlessness became more and more intense. She felt like she was put into a washing machine and was tumbled around. In front of her eyes were mottled blocks of color. The feeling of suffocation came over her like a flood, and she almost couldn't breathe.
"hour……"
Her body felt the cold mountain breeze again, and Shi Yu gasped for breath as if she had drowned. Her hair was matted with sweat, and she vaguely heard someone calling her.
"Shigure!"
She fell forward unsteadily, and Noah quickly put his arm around her waist to help her up. He leaned against her cheek and whispered, "Shiyu, can you hear me? How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Shi Yu took a moment to react and shook his head weakly.
Noah helped her sit down on the rock next to him, then picked up the terminal, frowned, and began to try to send a message.
Shi Yu then began to look around.
At a glance, all she could see were lush trees, weed-covered wastelands, and scattered swamps scattered among the grass. Not to mention people, not even a bird was visible for a long time. She couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Noah, did we... teleport to the wrong place?"
This doesn't look like a tourist attraction at all.
"For some reason, the device sent us to an undeveloped route in the mountains," Noah explained as he organized the information. "This is what I've been worried about since I saw the device at the second scenic spot was under repair."
Shigure: "But Yulai didn't teleport here...?"
"Um."
Noah sighed and put down the terminal with no signal. He glanced at the position of the sun and replied calmly, "It seems that we are the only ones who won the prize."
Shi Yu was briefly dazed.
She propped up her exhausted body, stood up, looked around, and asked nervously, "Are we lost?"
"I won't get lost. I know the direction down the mountain, but I can't estimate the distance." Noah noticed the panic in the girl's tone and comforted her in time. Then he pondered for a moment, "If I'm not mistaken, there will be a teleportation device nearby."
"But I think we can save the trouble of searching for something from the countryside..."
Noah paused, frowned, and stopped talking. Shi Yu looked at him with some confusion.
"I see. Let's go," Shi Yu also took out the terminal and took a look, saying dejectedly, "There's no signal, and I can't contact anyone."
"Don't worry, this undeveloped attraction isn't too remote. It should be not far from the foot of the mountain."
"Shigure, can you still walk?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yu immediately perked up and nodded, then rolled up the hem of her skirt. Noah saw her active and cute actions, and a slight smile flashed in his eyes. He reminded her, "Then let's be careful."
Why is it called undeveloped? The steep and muddy mountain trails provide the answer.
This is not a road at all. It is just a walk down along a relatively less steep and dangerous area. There are trees and weeds along the way, and you may step into a mud pit if you are not careful. What is even more troubling is that in the afternoon, there was a sudden rain shower in the mountains.
The sudden rain came quickly but went away slowly. Shiyu was drenched like a poor little bird. Her vision was blurred by the rain and her skirt stuck to her body.
In this situation, even with Noah's support, she still fell because she accidentally stepped on the slippery moss.
"It's bleeding."
Noah half-knelt down, observing the wound on her knee. After being drenched by the rain, the boy seemed to have lost his usual composure and composure. His silver hair was neat and sluggish, clinging to his neck. However, his neat white clothes were barely stained due to his constant attention.
"Let me carry you on my back," Noah raised his eyes and spoke in a gentle, negotiating tone, "You're not in good shape, and you'll be able to recover your strength after a rest."
Shi Yu was startled for a moment and quickly shook his head: "No, no, I can keep walking..."
As she spoke, she covered her knees with the hem of her skirt to prevent Noah from looking any further, but she accidentally touched the wound again and couldn't help but gasp in pain.
...Why do I always get injured after coming to Sturga?
Shi Yu thought with some resentment.
Noah held her wrist, ignoring the monitoring ring, and told her slowly and seriously, "I'll carry you. Maybe it will be more efficient, and we'll probably be able to get down the mountain before dark."
"There are too many variables after dark. I'm worried about the dangers in the mountains. So Shigure, be obedient."
Noah's gentle warning made Shi Yu hesitate. Her palms trembled, she closed her eyes and nodded.
The boy's back was slender and strong. When Shi Yu lay on it, he could feel the overlapping of wet clothes on his chest, as well as the warmth radiating from his body.
With her thighs clamped and fixed to Noah's waist, Shi Yu was so sensitive that her shoulders shrank and her fists clenched. Moreover, as Noah moved downwards, her chest was also...pressed and felt a little painful.
She took advantage of Noah's inattention and quietly moved her chest upwards. Unexpectedly, the boy seemed to sense something and let out a soft hiss.
Shi Yu suddenly froze, not daring to move.
"Noah..." Shi Yu blushed and tried to divert his attention. He leaned over to Noah's ear and whispered, "I accidentally stained your clothes just now. I will help you wash them later. I'm sorry."
She had just fallen and some mud was splashed on her skirt. Now she was pressed tightly against Noah, so naturally she also soiled his clothes.
"It's okay," the boy chuckled, his chest vibrating slightly. "You don't have to do anything. Just heal your wound first."
"…It's not a serious injury." She muttered.
"Don't say that. You should pay more attention to your body."
Noah smiled and said, "This will also reassure everyone who cares about you."
Shigure rested his head on Noah's shoulder and fell silent.
After a while, in the woods where only the sounds of footsteps and breathing could be heard, Shigure suddenly asked quietly, as if possessed by some strange force: "...You too?"
"Yeah, me too."
The boy didn't look back, didn't pause, and then added steadily and gently: "That's exactly what I think, Shigure. It's not to make you happy."
“…”
Shi Yu closed her eyes, put her arm around his shoulders, and after a while, she whispered, "I know."
The author has something to say:
There is still an impact from the matching degree, but the girl is not willing to admit it.
But it’s not the girl’s fault that she falls in love with everyone she meets. It’s because someone has been seducing her! (Not x)
