Chapter 51 Scars

Once everything was bover/b, Nn’s tensed body rxed, and he leaned against the sofa. “Thanks”

“You’d better say less.”

Eliza tidied up everything and said. “You’re just a high–schooler–why did you get followed? Also, what’s up with your scars? Why are you dressed like this today?” Eliza remembered that Nn left earlier today before the school ended.

The teacher was fine with it–bNn /benrolled into this school by pulling some strings, and he was also the top student. As long as he didn’t create any trouble, the ss teacher wouldn’t bcare/b.

“Don’t you think you bask /btoo many questions? Nn asked. “It’s no big deal. Just random fights with the thugs

“Dressed like bthis /bbto /bfight with thugs?” Eliza bwasn’t /bba /bthree–year–old kid; she wasn’t easily deceived. And she knew Nn was hiding something.

But Nnd didn’t want to say, so Eliza didn’t ask. She bsaid/b. “Take off your coat. I’ll wash it for you.”

“No. Just throw it baway /b

“It’s a handmadé, custom–made coat. You’re gonna throw it away just like that?” Eliza felt that this suit was almost tens of thousands; it was not cheap.

But based on Nn’s identity, it wasn’t strange for him to be able to wear this set of suits.

“Are

you taking it off or not? If not, I’ll strip you.” Eliza acted like she was going to take off his clothes. Nn was weak now–he couldn’t stop Eliza. After a short moment. Eliza had already taken off his clothes.

That’s much better.”

Nn was speechless. He was also semi–naked.

Eliza also noticed it when she took off Nn’s bcoat/b. He had a very good physique.

Seeing this scene, Eliza shified her gaze. Oh, Eliza, we don’t do younger guys.

“… I’ll wash it

“Can’t wash it with water. Just leave it–I’ll ask someone to handle it tomorrow.”

“Alright… If I spoil it. I can’t pay you back eitherb. /bTo cover up her awkwardness, she added, “Also, I… I haven’t finished my homework. I’ll bhead /bback to school.”

“Do you think you can still go back?”

It was alreadyte, and the school had a curfew. It was impossible for her to enter the dorms at this time.

“Stay the night. I’ll sleep on the sofa”

“No. You’re injured–your abdominal wound might open up bagain /bif you sleep on the sofa. Eliza frowned. Tll btake /bit as caring for the wounded tonight. Don’t bmove/b. I’ll help you to bed.”

Then. Eliza walked to Nn and helped him from the bsofa/b.

Nn’s entire body was almost leaning on Eliza’s bback/b. Eliza felt her body tense up–she could feel the man’s body Temperature

Nn said, “I can walk myself

“No. I just stitched

your wound. If it bopens /bup again, I’ll need to stitch it up bagain /bEliza paused and added, “I don’t bhave /bsuch stable hands ball /bbthe /bbtime/b.

Slowly, Eliza helped him to the bed. She balso /bpacked her bag band /bbtook /bout her homework, cing it on the study desk. “Tll do my homework, you sleep. I’ll btake /ba leave for you from the teacher tomorrow.”

“Where’s your family?”

Nn remained silent.

Eliza looked at the homework in front of her, which wasn’t done at all, and then looked back at Nn. bFinally/bb, /bbshe /bsaid, “T take leave for both of us tomorrow–I’ll take care of you for a day, since after tomorrow, it’s the weekend.”

“Alright.”

Seeing that Nn agreed, Eliza also started doing her homework.

After ba /bwhile. bNn /basked. “Did you go back to the Rivers family btoday/b?”

“How did you know?”

“That road leads in the direction of your house.”

“It was Naomi’s birthday. She asked me to go back with her.”

“And you just went?”

“Yeah.” Eliza said indifferently, “I didn’t go back because of Naomi. I just wanted to ruin her mood a little. I’m not a saint.”

Upon hearing that, Nn’s expression softened a bit.

“Then bwhat /babout you? Why were you on the road near my house?” If Eliza remembered correctly, the Rivers family lived in a wealthy bneighborhood /bfull of vis.

That neighborhood was home to many industry elites, band /banyone wanting to live there had to go through ban /basset evaluation. If one’s personal assets didn’t reach at least a billion, one wouldn’t even qualify.

Nn said calmly. The more you ask, the worse it is for you. So my advice bis /bdon’t ask”

Eliza fell silent. True. There were too many secrets in this circle. The less she knew, the safer she was.
