The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead

Chapter 394 Awakening of the Maiden Hero & Cannon Fodder NPC 05

Since Wenrou was injured, Li Chen put down his work and stayed at home to take care of her, but after all, he had never done anything like this before, so it was inevitable that he felt a little unfamiliar.

And maybe because he was always approached and attacked by inexplicable people before, Li Chen always treats people with a little distance.

On this day, sunlight poured in through the windows, coating everything in the house with a warm yellow.

Wenrou sat on a chair by the window, looking out quietly. The breeze gently ruffled her hair, but she had no intention of appreciating it. She was thinking in her heart: I was obviously hired by Mr. Li to take care of him, but I have been troubling Mr. Li to take care of me these days, and I always feel guilty about it.

Just as he was lost in thought, Li Chen came over with a cup of hot water and said softly, "Drink some hot water. It will be good for your recovery."

Wenrou came back to her senses, took it with a smile, and thanked him softly.

Li Chen sat down beside him, looked out the window, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Just focus on recuperating these few days and don't worry about work."

Wenrou felt warm in her heart and replied, "Mr. Li, you've worked so hard. You've delayed your work so much in order to take care of me."

The two chatted idly, and before they knew it, the sun grew hotter and hotter. Wenrou felt uncomfortably sticky. After hesitating for a moment, she said softly, "Mr. Li, I'd like to... just wash off. I'm feeling a little uncomfortable."

Li Chen was slightly startled, then stood up and nodded in response: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll help you prepare it."

Hearing this, Wenrou quickly raised her hand to stop Li Chen, but he had already stood up and strode towards the bathroom.

Li Chen walked into the bathroom and first carefully adjusted the water temperature, testing it repeatedly with his hands to make sure it was neither too hot nor too cold.

She then took out some clean, soft towels from the cupboard and stacked them neatly on the bathroom shelf so that she could easily reach them.

After doing all this, he retreated to the door, cleared his throat, and said, "I've adjusted the water temperature and put the towels in place. If you need anything, just give me a call."

Wenrou felt even more embarrassed when she saw how thoughtful Li Chen was, and quickly said, "Mr. Li, you don't have to be so kind. I just injured my foot, and I can take care of myself."

Li Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. I just want to find something to distract myself. At least taking care of you comes from my heart, not just a setting in the game."

After saying that, Li Chen closed the bathroom door, leaving the space for Wenrou.

Hearing this, Wenrou couldn't help but look at the direction where Li Chen left with a complicated expression. She knew in her heart that he was probably still very concerned about the game world.

====================================================================== ================

Wenrou sat in the bathtub, the warm water flowing down, soothing her tense nerves and making her sigh comfortably.

But just as she finished washing and was about to get up to get a towel, her foot suddenly slipped.

In a panic, she subconsciously exclaimed: "Mr. Li!"

When Li Chen, who was outside the door, heard the shouting, his heart suddenly tightened. Without thinking too much, he pushed the door open and walked in.

The bathroom was filled with mist, and his vision was a little hazy. He rushed in anxiously, his eyes eagerly searching for the gentle figure.

In a trance, shrouded in the hazy mist, he caught a glimpse of snow-white skin. His heart skipped a beat, as if struck by an electric current, and he became panic-stricken in an instant.

His cheeks couldn't help but blush, and embarrassment and shyness quickly spread throughout his body. His head buzzed, as if it went blank in an instant.

But soon, his rationality returned, and he forced himself to calm down. He quickly looked away, stepped forward, and quickly supported Wenrou, asking anxiously, "How is it? Did you fall anywhere?"

Wenrou was still in shock, her face pale, and she shook her head: "I... I'm fine, I just got a fright."

Even so, her voice still trembled slightly.

Li Chen frowned, looking at the wet Wenrou, then suddenly caught sight of a piece of soap on the ground that he had never seen before, and was stunned for a moment.

"Did you use soap just now?" Li Chen asked with a frown.

Wenrou tilted her head, then shook it to indicate no.

He pursed his lips, asked no more questions, and without saying a word, took the towel, gently wrapped Wenrou, carefully carried her out of the bathroom, and placed her on the sofa.

His movements were gentle and somewhat helpless, as if he was afraid of hurting her.

"You sit here first and don't move. I'll get you a hair dryer." Li Chen said as he walked quickly towards the bedroom. After a while, he came back with a hair dryer.

He plugged in the power and adjusted the temperature. His fingers trembled unconsciously. He took a deep breath and began to blow Wenrou's hair.

The buzzing sound of the hair dryer echoed in the house, and the warm wind blew through the gentle hair, stirring the hearts of the two people.

Li Chen's eyes were focused and serious, his fingers shuttled through her hair, and occasionally touched her cheek, which would make his gentle heart skip a beat inexplicably.

Wenrou raised her eyes quietly and looked at Li Chen's face so close to her. The usually cold lines on his face were now much softer, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.

In order to break the somewhat blushing and heart-pounding atmosphere, she said softly: "Mr. Li, I'm so grateful for you today, otherwise I would have been so embarrassed."

Li Chen thought of the soap that had appeared inexplicably just now, and knew in his heart that this was probably the game's fault again. The other party might have regarded Wenrou as a bug a long time ago, and since that person had not eliminated Wenrou before, the game began to create accidents.

Li Chen gave a slightly apologetic smile: "I didn't think it through. The bathroom tiles are too slippery when wet. I should have thought of it earlier."

He did not tell Wenrou what he had discovered. After all, this kind of thing was too scary for a girl, and Li Chen was afraid that she would be scared.

Li Chen lowered his eyes and while blowing Wenrou's hair, he began to think of a countermeasure in his heart.

If I had known that letting Wenrou be my babysitter would cause her to be targeted by the game, I would never have involved her.

But it was too late to say anything now. Li Chen also had a high-tech company under his belt, and he had even gone to the trouble of understanding the game's programming. Now that Wenrou had been identified as a bug, the game wouldn't let it go.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, are you okay?" Wenrou was talking to Li Chen, and seeing that the other party had no response and seemed to be in a daze, she couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Li Chen glanced at Wenrou's blow-dried hair, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, I just remembered something. You have a good rest, I'll go take care of it first."
