“You’ll understand all this later.”

After saying that, he stood up and straightened his body. A tall and mighty figure like a mountain appeared before his eyes, blocking out the sky and the sun. "I'll go get you breakfast. Eat well when you wake up to replenish your nutrition so that you can better recover your strength."

"don't want......"

Yu Xiao instinctively refused, but then realized there was no way the other party would change his mind. So he quickly changed his words and said, "This villa should have a maid who is responsible for taking care of the housework, right? There's no need to trouble Master Lu to do it himself. Just call someone to bring the food over."

Faced with such a suggestion, Lu Zhiyao simply smiled calmly, a gentle light flashing across his eyes. "Actually, you are not unaware of the actual situation. The cleaning staff here don't come to clean the room every day, and there happens to be no chef to help with cooking today. The best option is for you to just lie in bed and wait for a while."

His words were firm and forceful, leaving no room for argument. This made the girl, who was sitting on the bed and listening quietly, feel deeply moved: although he always seemed to have a tough attitude on the surface, deep down in his heart he was silently thinking about everything for her all the time.

On the other hand, the other being always treated him with sharp, harsh, and cold words...

Thinking of this, she lowered her head with mixed feelings.

Looking back on that unhappy marriage, her ex-husband Shen Yu, who was irresponsible to her and even brought a third party home, was completely heartless.

All the little bits and pieces of experiences we once shared seemed to become distant and blurred in an instant.

The memories of my childhood are no longer reliable. Looking back on those innocent times now, they seem like just a distant memory.

At this moment, she even began to doubt whether Mo Tingshen was no longer the same as he was before?

In the torrent of time, people and things will change.

If her guess is confirmed, she will definitely keep her distance before officially meeting him to reduce unnecessary disputes.

On the breakfast table, there was only a simple sandwich and a bottle of pure milk. This bland breakfast did not arouse her interest at all.

Yu Xiao reluctantly ate half a sandwich before stopping. His stomach felt as heavy as if it were filled with stones, and he had no desire to eat anymore.

Lu Zhiyao noticed this scene, gently placed the warm milk next to her hand, and whispered: "Drink some milk, and eat a little more?"

The tone was gentle but revealed concern.

Faced with this concern, Yu Xiao shook his head and refused, "I don't want to drink or eat anymore."

She tried to express through concise words that she was indeed not in a good condition to continue eating more.

However, Lu Zhiyao did not give up. Instead, he persuaded her in a softer voice, "Then you should at least finish the milk."

That deep and magnetic voice was the type of voice she had always liked to hear, and the gentleness in his tone at this moment made it simply irresistible to her.

This voice...

It seems like they're treating her like a child?

Although a hint of doubt flashed through my mind, I decided to do as he said.

"Ok."

After saying this, she took the cup and drank all the milk in one breath.

"Finished."

She replied simply.

Hearing this, a satisfied affirmation came from the other side: "Well, very good, well done!"

When she looked up, she met Lu Zhiyao's smiling gaze. Yu Xiao felt her cheeks turn slightly red and she quickly looked away to avoid looking directly into the other person's eyes.

"Now that I've had breakfast, I think I'd better go back early."

I always feel a little out of place when I stay in his house. After all, they are not close enough to get along with each other casually.

"But the wound on your back is far from fully healed."

The man's tone suddenly turned serious, and he added coldly, "Stay with me for a while, I'll take care of you."

These words hit Yu Xiao's heart like a bolt from the blue.

I originally wanted to retort that I didn't need anyone to take care of me, but I didn't say it in the end.

He just saved my life, and it would seem ungrateful to say something like "I don't want to" at this time.

After thinking about it, he could only find an excuse to prevaricate: "I'm afraid it will cause you trouble if I stay here alone."

"Who can say I'm disturbed?"

The corners of Lu Zhiyao's mouth turned up slightly, forming a beautiful arc, and his eyes flashed with a cunning and warm light: "You want me to take you back? That's absolutely impossible."

Just imagining her alone in the room made him ache inside.

Is it really that difficult for her to accept the care of others?

Why must I endure this alone?

So, she thought of her best friend Mi Yan, "I can call Mi Yan and ask her to come over to accompany me."

I immediately picked up my phone and called the other party, but no one answered.

It turned out that Mi Yan was in closed training at the time and could not answer any calls.

Seeing this, Lu Zhiyao clasped his hands together in front of his chest and said, "That's settled, let me know if you need anything."

In fact, the real reason was that he hoped to protect Yu Xiao closely until the scars on his back were completely healed and to ensure that no accidents would occur during this period.

After saying this, he stood up and left the room, leaving behind a quiet and peaceful space for the injured girl to slowly recuperate.

Looking up at the empty scene on the white ceiling, thousands of thoughts surged in my mind like waves: How should I define my current relationship?

Judging from Lu Zhiyao's attitude, he probably intends to let me stay here until my physical condition recovers...

But this goes beyond the level of care between friends in the ordinary sense, right?

Leave a gap outside the window to let the warm breeze slowly drift into the room, and the air is filled with the hot feeling unique to summer.

Yu Xiao has a strong ability to adapt. Since he decided to stay here to rest, he quickly adjusted his mentality.

I repeatedly looked in the mirror at the scar on my back, which was about the length of my palm. The middle part was darker and new skin had formed around it.

Although I have been applying medicine every day these days, the new skin is still relatively fragile and will crack and bleed if I am not careful.

In the two days since I came here, I have experienced a comfortable lifestyle where I don’t have to do anything - just lie in bed.

Apart from meeting the most basic living needs, almost all other matters, big and small, are taken care of by this considerate host.

On a weekend morning, at the dining table in the Lu family's living room.

The sunlight pours in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, adding a touch of brightness to this warm scene.

The tableware was neatly arranged on the dining table and the aroma of food filled the air.

Looking at the man who was enjoying breakfast leisurely with her, although the food was the same, he ate with an indescribable aristocratic style.
