“It’s written here. Cecilia Eriso?”
“Oh, that’s her. The brave one who recovered our Night Tree Forest!”
That’s right. It’s me.
I went through the crowd surrounding the acorn jelly and entered.
“Yes, it’s me. Cecilia. This is my dish, Acorn Pudding.”
I tapped the acorn jelly with the rounded part of the spoon I was holding. The chewy acorn jelly wiggled enticingly. The eyes of the onlookers also wiggled along with it.
“Pu, pudding? Are you talking about sweet dessert pudding?”
“Yes, that’s right. But this one emphasizes the natural taste of acorns rather than sweetness. If you like acorns, you won’t dislike it. Now, anyone here who dislikes acorns?”
No one raised their hand. It worked well.
“Alright. The gentleman in the front? Come here and take a bite.”
“M-me?”
The man looked genuinely reluctant to eat. However, the woman who seemed to be his wife poked his side.
“Just eat a little. She is the hero of our Skitas.”
Oh, the whisper is a bit loud.
The man seemed to agree with that statement and replied to his wife in a whisper.
“Fine, even if it doesn’t taste good, I’ll eat it out of a sense of duty. Huh, can I really do this?”
Hey, I can hear you.
I handed a spoonful of acorn jelly to the man, who came out with a rather grim face. Then I sprinkled some sauce on top.
The man, with an expression of distrust all the way, put it in his mouth.
I nervously observed his face.
It should be delicious. I went through a lot to make that!
The man’s face, which was quite wrinkled, gradually relaxed. Then he widened his eyes.
“It’s really delicious! Give me more, please!”
Yes!
I silently celebrated my victory.
“Is that really true? Is that tasty?”
“Yes! Everyone, come and try it!”
“That, that, she’s probably lying because she can’t die alone.”
“No, I’m not!”
A quarrel ensued. Eventually, after another hero tasted it, people started eating my food.
After the starting point was interrupted, acorn jelly sold like hotcakes. Especially children loved it very, very much.
It seemed to be due to its smooth and soft texture.
Despite preparing a tremendous amount, the stock ran out in less than an hour.
Some even asked me for the recipe.
I willingly shared the recipe with them. I also mentioned that with acorn flour, they could enjoy it all year round.
Haha, if this isn’t equivalent to winning first place!
After everyone finished their meal, it was time for the children.
A long rope was placed in the middle.
Oh, it looks familiar. Could this be?
My guess matched. Children lined up on both sides, pulling the rope and competing in a sort of tug of war.
On one side, children preparing for the game were buzzing around. I bent my knees, stretched, and made eye contact with Lordrio, who was standing.
“Lordrio, aren’t you going to join?”
I had tried to persuade him to play with the children once before. However, Lordrio declined.
Why did he come all the way here?
“I… no, I won’t.”
“Then how about going closer to watch?”
Lordrio shook his head hesitantly. However, his eyes couldn’t help but stay on the children.
Lordrio had never played with kids of his age before. No, not just kids his age; the only people he had encountered in his life were the residents of that mansion. So, it would be nice if he could experience something like that.
Perhaps he felt embarrassed.
“Really? What should I do about this… Actually, I want to go over there and watch. But there’s something embarrassing about it. If the kids stare at me, I might not know what to say for greetings.”
“Just say hello.”
“I know that, but I can’t muster the courage. If Lordrio goes with me, I might gain the courage.”
Lordrio’s big eyes rolled around.
“If Cecilia feels embarrassed, should I go with her?”
Okay, a simple little one.
“Yeah. Lordrio, come with me.”
I reached out my hand. The innocent little one, unaware of my intentions, shook my hand.
Once we approached the children, I didn’t step forward. Everyone was curious when a strange silver-haired boy appeared.
“Are you the White Tiger Beastman?”
“You look really cute.”
“But our mom told us not to play with carnivorous animal beastmen.”
At the honest words of a child, everyone fell silent. Lordrio’s sparkling eyes also momentarily lost their shine.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
