Noah understood his intention and retorted, "Why don't you ask me for the gun?"

Are you willing to give it?

"If you want it, I can give it to you. Just call me 'husband' and I'll give it to you."

After saying that, Noah looked forward to hearing those two words from Qi Yuan's mouth.

To everyone's surprise, Qi Yuan didn't say a word, his beautiful, clear black eyes staring intently at him, his fair, jade-like skin turning red at a visible speed, all the way to his ears.

It was obvious that Qi Yuan was so angry that he was speechless and his face turned red.

Noah hadn't expected that Qi Yuan would blush with anger.

Also.

If he could break the identity of a straight man that he had painstakingly maintained for five years in prison in just one or two days, then he, Qi Yuan, would not be Qi Yuan.

"Alright, alright, just kidding. How come your face turns so red when you're angry? You look more like a rose."

"Mr. Noah, I have witnessed your shamelessness and your ridiculous jokes today." Qi Yuan said this through gritted teeth.

Noah, however, seemed to enjoy teasing him.

He never knew that teasing straight men could be such a fun thing.

"Ah Yuan, you're a bit too boring. You need more jokes and humor to make life more interesting."

“My life is interesting even without jokes and humor,” Qi Yuan said stubbornly.

Noah saw that he was still so serious and thought to himself, it's okay to joke around occasionally, but if you joke around with someone this serious too much, he'll probably start to take the truth as a joke too.

Fearing for his credibility, Noah put away his smile and said, "I've arranged bodyguards for you, but if you really need a knife for protection, I can give you a dagger. But let's make it clear first, you can't use the dagger I give you to stab me."

"I'm not an ingrate."

Qi Yuan said with a serious expression.

Noah smiled and said, "What else do you need? You've injured your hands and feet, so you can only rest in bed for a while and can't go anywhere else. Do you need some books or something to keep you entertained?"

"Thank you, I need it."

Qi Yuan was truly grateful this time.

He had to admit that although Noah's jokes sometimes made him blush, he was indeed a gentleman and very considerate of him.

If he weren't straight, he probably would have fallen for her gentleness long ago.

Noah, having amused himself, was satisfied and stood up, saying, "Take good care of your injuries. I have things to attend to, so I'll be going now."

He was about to pat Qi Yuan's fluffy head, but when he saw that Qi Yuan's head was still wrapped in bandages, he stopped himself from doing so.

"Take good care of yourself."

He said it again, and this time he left without any hesitation.

After Noah left, the servants brought warm water, towels, and toothbrushes for Qi Yuan to wash up.

After washing up, breakfast of milk, bread, and fried eggs was served.

The lives of the rich are truly comfortable; even lying in bed, they have people taking good care of them.

At nine o'clock, the family doctor came to give Qi Yuan a routine check-up. There was nothing seriously wrong with him. All that was left was for his injury to heal. Unless there was some particularly unbearable pain, the next time the family doctor would come was to remove the cast.

Not long after the family doctor left, there was a knock on the door.

The bodyguard who pushed open the door was a young man in a black suit. He had deep, handsome features and a very good-looking face, but there was a noticeable scar on his left cheek, which added a unique touch to his handsome face.

He held seven books in his hands and bowed slightly to Qi Yuan.

"Hello Mr. Qi Yuan, my name is Asa Chester, and I am the bodyguard sent by the head of the family to protect you. These are the books that the head of the family gave you."

Qi Yuan nodded.

Asha placed the books on the bedside table where Qiyuan could easily reach them.

Qi Yuan took the top book, which was a collection of poems.

Qi Yuan had also studied and his grades were quite good. He had read a few poetry collections, but they were mostly foreign poetry collections, so he didn't know much about them.

Qi Yuanneng is quite certain that he has never met the author of this poetry collection.

But after thinking about it, Qi Yuan suddenly realized something: this was another world, and it was a bit strange to be looking for the author of his own world in another world.

Before he could even turn to the first page and see what the first poem was, Asha beside him said, "Mr. Qiyuan, this is a gift from the head of the family."

Qi Yuan looked up at Asha.

A silver dagger lay quietly in Asa's hand, its scabbard adorned with exquisite and beautiful patterns, and inlaid with a beautiful sapphire.

Qi Yuan took the dagger, his gaze falling on the sapphire, thinking: Selling this sapphire should be enough for my living expenses for the rest of my life.

He drew back the dagger; its blade was sharp and razor-sharp.

It is a well-made dagger.

Qi Yuan hadn't expected that Noah would actually give him a weapon for self-defense.

He wondered if, as Noah wished, he had called him "husband" this morning, would Noah have actually given him a gun?

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan's cheeks flushed.

The thought of her saying the word "husband" makes him want to dig a hole and bury himself the moment he utters it.

Qi Yuan came from another world and had gay friends. He always believed that other people's affairs were none of his business, and other people's choices were none of his concern. Therefore, he didn't dislike other people's orientations, and he would even offer his blessings to those who were truly in love.

But when it was his turn...

Perhaps because he had spent five years in prison and had seen too many people who wanted to harm him, and because he had been badly injured fighting against these people, he had unknowingly developed a great resistance and disgust towards such things.

Now, Qi Yuan only hopes that Noah is just teasing him and doesn't really like him, otherwise he really doesn't know how to repay the kindness Noah has shown him.

Qi Yuan hid the dagger Noah gave him under his pillow.

This is the place he can get to immediately.

After putting the dagger away, Qi Yuan picked up the book Noah had given him and began to read.

The first collection of poems was filled with poems about love, and the saccharine scent of romance was particularly strong.

Even so, he patiently read through each article.

I don't know how much time passed, but then I heard anxious voices and footsteps outside the door.

The voice approached quickly, and Qi Yuan heard the butler Sebastian say, "Mr. Lennon, the head of the family has ordered that no one may enter the second floor without his permission."

"I already told you I won't lay a finger on that guy, you old geezer, can't you even understand human language? Get out of my way."

“Mr. Lennon, please stop barging in. This is disrespectful to the Davis family!”

"Don't try that on me! Even if I wreck Davis's house today, Noah won't dare do anything to me!"

The door was pushed open with a bang.

The elderly Sebastian was propelled forward by a force, losing his balance and staggering back several steps before regaining his footing.

When Qi Yuan heard the commotion outside the door, he put down the book he was reading and stared straight at the doorway, his hand already stealthily reaching for the dagger under his pillow, gripping it tightly…
