The Wolf falls in love with the sheep

Chapter 001: The Resolution to Grow Stronger Waking from unconsciousness. Chu Shaoyou raised his hands to examine them, his eyes brimming with disbelief. He pinched his own cheek, wincing at the pain yet chuckling softly. This action startled the petite girl sitting beside him. The girl was on the verge of tears, thinking Chu Shaoyou had gone mad. She quickly reached out and shook him. “Brother, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me like that!” “Chu Chu!” Turning his head, Chu Shaoyou saw his younger sister sitting on the bedside, visibly shaken by his behavior. “Brother, you still remember me?” The petite Chu Chu broke into a smile upon hearing her name. “You're my sister—how could I forget you?” Chu Shaoyou asked with amusement, attempting to sit up. Instead, waves of excruciating pain shot through his entire body. Chu Chu stopped him from rising. “The doctor said...” The doctor said your head was badly injured. They weren't sure if you'd wake up, and even if you did, you might not remember anything." As she spoke, tears streamed down Chu Chu's large eyes like beads from a broken string. “Silly girl, why are you crying? You can't believe everything the doctor says. Look, I'm awake now, and I remember you perfectly clearly!” “Okay, I'll go get the doctor to examine you right away.” Chu Chu wiped the tears from her cheeks, flashed a sweet smile, and hurried out of the hospital room. Only then did Chu Shaoyou realize he was lying in a hospital ward. He pinched his cheek again. The sharp sting reminded him this wasn't a dream. Chu Shaoyou recalled being pushed off an unfinished building while working on a construction site. Since he’d hit his head first, the doctors had predicted he’d lose his memory. But now the opposite had happened. Not only had Chu Shaoyou not lost his memory, but his mind now contained an extra set of memories—those of a cultivator! Because of this extra memory, when Chu Shaoyou woke up just now, he had doubted whether he was dreaming. Closing his eyes, Chu Shaoyou examined the cultivator's memories. The world in those memories couldn't be Earth, for its night sky held two moons. In that world, everyone was a cultivator. Great masters could destroy cities and nations with a wave of their hand, soaring straight up to the Nine Heavens' Immortal Halls! Such memories made Chu Shaoyou's blood boil with excitement. But soon, the fervor cooled within him. The memories in his mind didn't belong to some great figure, but to an ordinary disciple of a minor sect. Still, this discovery didn't dishearten Chu Shaoyou, for he had found cultivation techniques. There were likely no cultivators on Earth, and he would become the sole cultivator on this planet! Chu Shaoyou's excitement surged again. But when petite Chu Chu led the doctor over, all traces of his cultivator's pride vanished instantly. As the doctor and nurse lifted the blanket to examine his injuries, Chu Shaoyou suddenly realized he was completely n***d! Chu Chu covered her flushed cheeks and hid in the corner. Surrounded by the doctors and nurses, Chu Shaoyou felt utterly mortified! A flood of herbal knowledge surged into his mind. Chu Shaoyou froze, surprised that such information existed within that memory. After carefully reviewing the herbal knowledge, Chu Shaoyou decisively demanded to be discharged! He figured he'd be stuck in the hospital for months without recovering properly, and the fees were outrageously expensive. He possessed a wealth of pharmacological knowledge in his head. If he could just concoct a potion and drink it, he'd be back on his feet in no time. Why suffer in the hospital? The doctors and nurses dismissed Chu Shaoyou's words, assuming he was merely shy. After completing the examination, they left with smiles on their faces. Chu Shaoyou felt utterly humiliated. He was eighteen years old, not some sixteen-year-old child like Chu Chu! After the medical staff left, Chu Chu’s face was still flushed. She came over to tuck the blanket around him. Chu Shaoyou looked at her seriously. “Chu Chu, I want to leave the hospital.” This statement startled Chu Chu. “What are you talking about, Brother? You can't even walk properly now. How can you leave the hospital?” Chu Shaoyou immediately felt conflicted. If he revealed he was treating himself, it would likely terrify Chu Chu. “The hospital fees are exorbitant. Our family doesn't have the money. I can't burden Sister Yunxi too much,” Chu Shaoyou explained. “I knew it! How could you even think about leaving?” Seeing his concern was about money, Chu Chu smiled. “Brother, you got hurt on the construction site. The site manager sent over 100,000 yuan for medical expenses right away. Plus, some kind-hearted people helped arrange for you to stay in a private room.” “Kind person?” Chu Shaoyou looked around the room in confusion. It was furnished with a sofa and TV, decorated luxuriously—beyond what ordinary people could afford. Chu Chu explained that the benefactor had been dressed in a suit and sunglasses, hadn't given his name, and left no contact information. “So don't worry about money, Brother. Just focus on getting better here!” “...Alright.” Seeing Chu Shaoyou concede, Chu Chu's smile blossomed as beautifully as a flower. She asked if he was hungry, then headed out without waiting for an answer to prepare food for him. Although the construction site had covered his medical expenses, Chu Shaoyou dared not tell Chu Chu the truth—that his accident at work wasn't due to carelessness, but because someone had pushed him off the building! Chu Shaoyou remembered working upstairs with a middle-aged man named Zhao Si. When he climbed onto the balcony to fix a protruding piece of concrete, Zhao Si had shoved him, sending him tumbling to the ground! Though they worked together on the site, Chu Shaoyou knew little about Zhao Si beyond his name. He couldn't fathom why Zhao Si, just a migrant worker, would attempt to kill him—a teenager doing summer work—especially since Chu Shaoyou hadn't done anything to provoke him! This remained a mystery to Chu Shaoyou, yet a profound sense of danger gripped him—someone wanted him dead! Fortunately, misfortune brought unexpected fortune: he had gained the memories of a cultivator! Now, those memories were his greatest asset! Having nearly died in that fall, Chu Shaoyou vowed never to let such a thing happen again! Driven by this thought and the gnawing sense of danger, Chu Shaoyou resolved to cultivate immediately! With the cultivator's memories, cultivation came easily to him. Before long, Chu Shaoyou grasped the essence of cultivation, guiding his body to absorb the spiritual energy permeating the heavens and earth. What surprised him was how incredibly scarce this spiritual energy proved to be. It took him quite a while to absorb a single wisp of it. Like a feathery mist, the spiritual energy drifted into his body, easing the pain throughout his entire being. Though the world's spiritual energy was scarce, that one wisp gave Chu Shaoyou hope. As long as he cultivated diligently, he could absolutely become powerful! When Chu Chu arrived carrying a bowl of lean meat congee, Chu Shaoyou emerged from his meditation. He reached to take the bowl from her, but she stepped back. Chu Chu helped him sit up against the headboard. She scooped a spoonful of steaming congee, blew on it to cool it, and then offered it to him. Warmth filled Chu Shaoyou's heart as Chu Chu tenderly cared for him. While feeding him, Chu Chu explained that Yunxi hadn't come because she'd gone to sell vegetables. Chu Shaoyou, Chu Chu, and Yunxi had all grown up in the orphanage. Since childhood, Yunxi had always looked out for Chu Shaoyou and Chu Chu. Being a few years older, she was the first to leave the orphanage. By the time Chu Shaoyou and Chu Chu left, Yunxi was already a college student. She brought them to live with her and supported their education. Yunxi graduated from university last year and landed a promising job. But shortly after starting, she was fired for rejecting the advances of the company president's son. After that, no matter where Yunxi sought employment, she encountered various obstacles. The stubborn Yunxi decided to abandon white-collar work altogether. As a college graduate, she surprisingly found a plot of land to grow and sell vegetables! Recalling these events, Chu Shaoyou’s heart surged with renewed determination to grow stronger. Only by becoming powerful could he prevent others from bullying his family. Without such oppression, his household could finally live a decent life! Having been pushed from a building to his death once, Chu Shaoyou would never let that happen again. He would not allow his loved ones to suffer any harm! Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
