Chapter 262 A strange yet familiar figure

Unknowingly, the lunch break bell echoed in the academy, and Ryan, who had been staring at Noelle silently, suddenly came back to his senses.

When the instructor in charge heard the bell, he immediately left the classroom. As a result, he opened the door and met Ryan face to face.

Although he didn't know Ryan, the mentor still nodded to Ryan, and Ryan nodded in return.

After watching the mentor go away, Yazhi asked Ryan: "Master, aren't we going to find Nenelli and the others?"

Ryan was silent for a moment, then took out a few lunch boxes from the magic space and handed them to Yazhi: "These are the lunch boxes for you, Nenelli and Yvette. Please send them over, and apologize to them for me." , I...want to talk to her."

"Well...I know."

Yazhi shook his ears, took the lunch, and then said to Ryan: "Master, remember to come to us when you are done."

"Well, don't worry, I will come to you soon."

"Uh-huh!"

After responding, Yazhi disappeared in a flash.

Turning his eyes again, Ryan found that Noelle was still sitting in the corner. Even when it was lunch break, she did not take out lunch boxes or gather together in twos and threes to chat and play like other students.

Instead, he kept his head down in the corner without saying a word, as if... he was trying hard to reduce his sense of existence.

After an unknown amount of time, Noelle raised her head, looked around, picked up her lunch box, and walked cautiously out of the classroom as if she was afraid of being discovered.

However, just as Noelle was about to reach the door of the classroom, a student who was chatting with a friend "accidentally" tripped Noelle with his foot.

Noelle lost her balance and fell to the ground with her frail body. The lunch box in her hand also broke and the food inside was scattered on the floor.

After tripping Noelle down, the student seemed as if nothing had happened and was still laughing and chatting with his friends.

Noelle didn't say anything else. She just pursed her lips. After sitting up from the ground, she stretched out her hand to put the food scattered on the ground back into the lunch box.

Ryan: "..."

Stepping forward silently, Ryan reached out and grabbed Noelle's hand that was trying to pick up the food on the ground.

When he grabbed Noelle's wrist, Ryan really noticed that Noelle's wrist was almost pathologically slender. It could even be said to be skinny and bones. It was so cold that Ryan felt as if he was touching a corpse. .

Suddenly her wrist was held by Ryan. Noelle was startled. She raised her head and looked at Ryan like a frightened rabbit, and said tremblingly:

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

The voice... was timid and seemed a little hoarse. Although it was not unpleasant, it was very different from the voice in Ryan's memory.

Looking at the sallow-looking Noelle, Ryan sighed silently in his heart, and then said calmly to the student who tripped Noelle:

"That classmate, you knocked over this classmate's lunch box. Please clean up the food on the ground."

Hearing this, the student turned his head with some dissatisfaction. When he saw Ryan's indifferent eyes, he subconsciously shrank his neck and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice:

"I...I know! I'm so sorry, mentor!"

Commoner girls would not see the family crest on Butler Lane's uniform, but they were frightened by Lane's aura and thought Lane was the instructor of the college.

Seeing this, Noelle hurriedly said: "I... I'll just clean it..."

Ryan did not speak, but released Noelle's wrist, stood up and said, "Follow me."

Noelle was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up her lunch box and trotted to the outside of the classroom with Ryan.

As she left the classroom, Noelle breathed a subtle sigh of relief as if she had broken free from some shackles, and then looked at Ryan cautiously: "Guide... tutor..."

Ryan shook his head: "I am not a tutor of the college."

"Ah...then..."

Noelle was a little stunned. She turned to look at the students in the classroom who were cleaning the food on the ground, and then turned to look at Ryan.

Ryan silently looked at Noelle's frightened look and opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Ryan could confirm that Noelle was the girl who gave him Sayelan at the border, but...the cautious behavior of Noelle in front of him made it difficult for Ryan to distinguish her from the girl who ran away regardless of the attention of everyone. The girls who bravely came to him and handed him flowers were connected.

"Then... that, sir... do we... know each other?"

After a long time, Noelle asked timidly.

Ryan said cryptically: "We have met once."

Considering that Noelle was deliberately hiding her life experience, Ryan did not say it clearly.

And looking at Noelle’s current state, if she directly confesses her identity, it might scare Noelle, right?

Hearing this, Noelle looked at Ryan carefully for a long time, and finally shook her head: "Yes... I'm sorry, sir, I really can't remember..."

——I was covered in armor at that time. You have to be able to recognize me.

In response, Ryan just whispered: "It doesn't matter, you will think of it later."

Thinking of the swaying Saye Orchid, Ryan's voice softened a lot.

Seeing that Ryan, who was still cold to her just now, suddenly became softer towards her, Noelle's fear of Ryan unconsciously weakened a lot. She also learned that Ryan knew her, and she unconsciously developed some feelings for Ryan. sense of closeness:

"First...sir, what is your name?"

"Ryan."

Ryan replied briefly.

Noelle nodded and was about to speak, when she heard a clear abdominal rumble.

"Goo-"

A very obvious blush appeared on Noelle's pale face: "Yes...I'm sorry, Mr. Lane, I...I'm going to have lunch."

Ryan pointed to the lunch box in Noelle’s hand: “Didn’t your lunch just spill?”

"Ah, there's some inside... there's enough for me to eat..."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Ryan took out his lunch box and stuffed it into Noelle's hands.

"what……"

Looking at the exquisite lunch box in her hand, Noelle was startled and shook her head quickly: "Mr. Lane, I...I can't..."
