Chapter 11 She Wakes Up
“Aiyo, how can this girl be so beautiful?!”
“She’s cold all over. Is she running a fever?”
“A fever should make her body feel hot, right?”
“Then how come my son said not to send her to the hospital? If she’s sick, she needs treatment.”
“I didn’t know my son had such a beautiful friend and yet she fainted. He didn’t bring her here, did he?”
“Your son is always chasing after that girlfriend of his. How could that be possible?”
“Okay, mom and dad, don’t disturb her while she’s resting. Hurry up and go out.”
“Look at this child…”
“You little rascal, don’t take advantage of someone in danger!”
Chen Yuan: “…”
Vaguely, Cu could hear conversations beside her.
Chen Yuan held a bowl of freshly cooked rice porridge, gently placed it on the table, and then adjusted the air conditioning temperature down a little more.
Logically, her strength should recover faster in colder conditions. It’s been at the lowest temperature all night; she should have woken up by now.
Should I set up a fan to blow on her?
But wouldn’t that make her catch a cold?
After all, this is a new world, and nobody can escape the cycle of life and d*ath.
Cu is the Ice Queen, so she can recover faster in cold conditions, just like the Earth Tiger Hero can draw endless strength from the ground.
Of course, this doesn’t mean she has no body heat and doesn’t need to warm up.
When she’s cold all over, warming up by a fire won’t hinder her recovery; on the contrary, it makes her feel comfortable.
In other words, what she absorbs is never temperature; it’s the power of wind and snow, the force of nature.
The two concepts are not contradictory.
So Chen Yuan’s actions are completely misguided.
But thankfully, he understands that Cu is actually afraid of the cold. In the past, after training in magic, she would shiver and warm herself by the fire.
So he also covered her up with a blanket.
An Ice Queen who dislikes the cold—Chen Yuan gently touched her forehead, his eyes full of pity.
“You’ve worked hard, Cu.”
“Wake up soon; I’ll take you to enjoy this world.”
“You won’t feel cold or hungry anymore, and you won’t have to worry about the troubles in the kingdom.”
“Carefree, just be a happy little girl.”
For some reason, these words sounded very mature. With Chen Yuan’s current personality, he couldn’t have said them, but when facing Cu, it felt like a strange bloodline awakened in him, always treating her with an elderly demeanor…
“Cough, cough.”
Cu lightly coughed twice.
“Cu?!” Chen Yuan was delighted.
She slowly opened her starry eyes.
Her eyes were pale blue, beautiful and deep.
“Woke up? Eat something,” Chen Yuan said, sitting beside the bed, lifting the bowl of porridge and gently asking.
However, the next moment, upon seeing Chen Yuan clearly, Cu immediately hugged him tightly…
Softly sobbing, “Teacher… I miss you so much… don’t leave me…”
Having just woken up, she couldn’t stop crying again.
Chen Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled gently, patted her arm, and reassured her in a childlike tone, “Okay, I won’t leave you. Be good, eat something first.”
For some reason, perhaps due to the young body he was in or the decades of d*ath feeling like a distant past, his temperament seemed to have regressed significantly, and he felt a bit nervous because of Cu’s embrace.
The girl’s soft, snowy, and cold body was overwhelming for his young male body.
But back in the Otherworld, he wouldn’t have felt this way, after all, Cu was his student, and he had seen her grow up step by step from a 16-year-old girl to the youngest queen of the Nix Kingdom.
Her sobbing didn’t stop, but Cu had always been obedient, slowly loosening her hold around Chen Yuan’s neck and looking at the porridge in his hand.
She hadn’t eaten anything for several days, and upon seeing food, her stomach suddenly made an uncontrollable noise.
Gululu…
She immediately felt embarrassed and lowered her head…
Chen Yuan frowned slightly, not finding it funny; instead, it made him feel even more pity.
In her kingdom, she used to have hundreds of varieties of dishes for her daily meals, enjoying a dining table several meters long all to herself. Now she was actually starving…
He then took a spoonful of porridge, blew on it, and offered it to her mouth.
Seeing this, Cu just blushed, pressed her lips together, and then opened her pale, cherry-like mouth, which had turned white from weakness.
After taking a bite, she would glance up at Chen Yuan, then take another bite, repeating this action.
Chen Yuan was focused on blowing the porridge and didn’t notice her little movements.
Soon, a bowl of warm porridge was finished, but looking at Cu, it seemed she didn’t feel full.
“Do you want more?” Chen Yuan asked softly.
Cu lowered her head and shyly nodded twice. Although her status as a queen made her reluctant to depend on others, it was a teacher’s request… she was just a little girl wanting some sweets…
And she truly wasn’t full; her stomach was still hungry…
Chen Yuan noticed her little thoughts and gently rubbed her head, “What’s wrong? Are you still shy with your teacher? Don’t worry, your teacher has plenty of food!”
In this era, if you really wanted to starve to d*ath, it would be a bit difficult.
After saying that, Chen Yuan stood up to get her more porridge.
As soon as he stood up, Cu became anxious, looking as if she wanted to follow him closely.
“I’m just going outside to ladle out some porridge and will be right back.” Chen Yuan, seeing her anxious expression, didn’t know whether to feel happy or worried.
His departure seemed to have such a big impact on her…
Some people cast me aside like weeds, while some treat me like a treasure…
But Cu wouldn’t listen, still lifting the blanket, prepared to follow him, insisting on getting out of bed as soon as Chen Yuan left the room…
Chen Yuan couldn’t do anything about it; let her follow, after all, he wasn’t really leaving.
Then…
As Chen Yuan left the room and went to the kitchen to ladle out porridge, he turned around to see her peek around the door, half her head sticking out while she focused intently…
Like a little white cat…
Truly…
After ladling the porridge, he also brought her some snacks from home.
In the living room, Chen Father and Chen Mother immediately curiously asked, “Awake? How is she? Does she need to go to the hospital?”
“No need, she just had low bl**d sugar,” Chen Yuan replied casually.
“Low bl**d sugar caused her to faint for a whole night? And such a beautiful girl! Son, tell mom the truth, why haven’t I heard about her before?”
When he carried Cu back the night before, it was already late, and they had been asleep.
It was only the next morning that Chen Yuan told them the story, leading to the opening scene.
But Chen Yuan’s explanation was that she was just a friend of his, nothing more.
“We met online… a long time ago…” Chen Yuan casually fabricated a reason.
Then he immediately returned to the room with the bowl.
“Hey, hey, hey, look at this child…” Chen Mother’s question was cut off as Chen Yuan ran off.
Though she was a mom, she was still curious despite her age…
Watching the drama is human nature; being curious about her son’s gossip is also a kind of fun.
“Alright, alright, your son is actually willing to take care of another girl. This is a good thing. Before, he wouldn’t even interact with girls other than that girlfriend of his; he finally moved on from that crooked tree.”
Chen Jianye felt quite relieved.
He didn’t particularly like Yu Enqi; with his vast experience, he could see that Yu Enqi didn’t truly love his son.
But there was no stopping his son from being fixated on Yu Enqi, even changing his college plans to be with her.
He remembered the days when he was young and charming, and the girls who pursued him lined up from the village’s head to its tail~
How did he end up with such a useless son!
Chen Mother replied, “That’s true…”
