Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: An unpredicted outcome

Leon looked as if he was about to pass out. He was about to fall from exhaustion, so I rushed out of the door and luckily caught him on time.

Whew! Who knew that this main character had such a heavy weight?! He may look average, but you should never underestimate the protagonist's heaviness in weight! How nice it is to be all buff and strong..

Several minutes flew by, and I finally managed to put him on the guest bed, and

sighed in relief.

"Whew, I should exercise more often, so that I can carry more heavy things in the future! Now.. those thoughts aside, I should prepare the soup for him and some extra blankets.. Ah, I forgot, I also need wipe his wounds! Now I sound like a mother caring for his son.. hais" I sighed, shaking my head slightly. I went down and prepared the necessities in cleaning Leon's wounds.

I went back inside the guest room and grabbed a chair to sit on beside Leon's bedside. I grabbed the towel and dipped it in a bowl of water, squeezing out the excess liquid. After that, I wiped his wounds from top to bottom. Minutes passed by, and I successfully tended to his wounds with care.

I put the bowl of water and wet towel aside, then checked his temperature. And sure enough, he did have a high fever. Who would go running amock and beat people up at this time of the night!?

I placed the towel again on his forehead, hoping that it could lower down his high temperature, including his strong indifference towards him, the villain. However, its understandable how he would keep his vigilance up towards a person who personally attacked him all his childhood.

I stayed at his bedside for the whole night, waiting for him to wake up. And then, I suddenly dozed off to sleep.

The next day, I woke up and rubbed my eyes, my vision still being a bit blurry. I looked around and noticed that Leon was still fast asleep. I decided to let him sleep, so I went down to heat up the soup I cooked last night, and prepared a bowl. As I was mixing the heated soup, something heavy suddenly leaned behind me. I looked to see what was behind me and to my suprise, it was Leon. He was still muttering stuff in his sleep, but still had a tight grip around me.

I shaked him a bit, and tried to wake him up. "Leon, Leon, wake up. You're still injured so you should go rest back in the bed."

Leon unconsciously responded, still speaking with a sleepy voice "mn.. no.."

Alexis was a bit startled with his response, and replied: "I will go and give you a bowl of soup if you just go to the couch over there to rest. Also, what made you this wounded?" Alexis asked, with an obivious expression of curiosity shown on his face.

"Hmm.. no.." Leon replied, still holding Alexis with strong force.

Alexis was confused with why Leon was acting like this, but responded, "Hay.... just go to the couch and i'll bring you a bowl of warm soup, alright?"

Leon thought for a few seconds, and answered "okay.." Leon slowly walked to the couch and lied on the couch to rest. Alexis sighed and continued heating up the soup. few seconds later, Alexis prepared a glass bowl and filled it with warm soup.

I walked towards Leon's direction and told Leon "Leonn, here's some soup, are your hands alright? If so, you can hold this in your own" Alexis handed the bowl gently, waiting for Leon's answer.

Leon thought of an answer, and responded "Okay."

Rei gave him the bowl of soup and stared at him while Leon was eating, Rei felt envy occupy his mind, how could this person be so handsome and attractive!? Rei looked at Leon with envious eyes, making Leon feel a bit uneasy. Rei could describe Leon with many words, but only thought of one.

"How cool..." You could clearly see Rei's eyes shine out of admiration, stars beaming out of his eyes.

Rei pondered 'Hais... being the protagonist sure has a lot of benefits.. even when you're on the brink of death, you can still pull out a beautiful expression on your face. Lucky..'

After minutes of crying out of envy, Rei sighed.

Leon was watching Alexis's face change every second, wondering what he was thinking about.
