“But you don’t even know where the train station’s bathroom is?”
Do I have to know? It’s strange not to know since the village is so small.
“I have a terrible memory. Then I’ll go first since my stomach hurts so much. Have a pleasant meal.”
I hurriedly got up from my seat. I was too hasty, and the table caught my leg, making a loud noise.
I stopped in surprise and watched Idrysh’s expression.
Idrysh’s beastlike eyes did not move a bit as they seemed fixed on me. I felt like I was caught in a snare, and my breath was blocked.
At that moment, the corners of Idrysh’s mouth creepily went up.
I knew it the moment I saw it.
I don’t know how I knew, but Idrysh was certain. That I was that hedgehog.
Damn. Run!
I sprang up like a compressed spring, dashing out of my seat.
Idrysh also jumped up to follow me. I ran at full speed, knocking over all the tables around me. Without thinking where to escape, I pushed open the thick wooden door and ran. Before the door that I had flung wide open could close, Idrysh burst out after me.
“Ahh! Why is he so fast!”
Naturally. If Baekho is slower than a hedgehog, then it’s not a tiger but a white worm.
“Get out of the way, move!”
I whizzed past people, darting in between them. Looking back, I saw Idrysh not far behind, chasing me. Even though I knocked over and threw things around to stop him, he simply leaped over them like jumping over obstacles.
The rapidly approaching angry face of Idrysh was terror itself.
Wow, this must be what prey feels like when being chased by a predator! Damn it!
Then, the train honked loudly.
Looking up, I saw the train and the tracks right in front of me. The justdeparted train was belching thick white smoke with a clamor.
“Bamsongi!”
Somehow, Idrysh’s shout seemed to be right behind me.
I can’t do this!
There was only one way.
I ran towards the tracks.
“Ack! That guy must be crazy!”
“Someone catch him!”
As I leaped onto the tracks, screams erupted around me.
Bang!
The train, spotting me, blared a deafening horn. In that fleeting moment, the front of the train seemed to loom large. It was rushing towards me. Any hesitation, and I would have been shattered.
The wind took off my hat, and it fell on the tracks. No time to pick it up or look back. My disheveled hair obstructed my view.
I kicked off the ground with all my might, jumping again.
Please, please!
That one word repeated in my mind. My body floated and was pushed forward. Just barely, the tips of my feet touched the other side of the tracks.
I survived.
I looked back at the tracks I had just crossed. Idrysh stood still on the other side. A pair of yellow eyes stared at me as if to devour me. My long hair flew in all directions in the wind.
The next moment, the train passed between us with a loud noise.
Screeech!
I caught my breath in front of the long trailing train.
“Haa, haa, haa.”
My heart was literally on the verge of bursting. My lips were parched, and the sound of my pounding heartbeat in my ears was even louder than the sound of the train.
But I couldn’t stop. I had to get out of here before the train passed. I turned around and ran without resting.
(This is a time separator.)
I walked without stopping. I was totally worn out. I was particularly bothered by losing my hat.
“Red is too conspicuous.”
I thought that if Idriish asked, ‘Have you seen a redhaired woman?’ everyone would point to where I had passed.
If I were to hide by transforming into a hedgehog, that wouldn’t do either. My current clothes were not made of my fur or spines, so if I were careless, I could end up a naked woman when I turned back into a human.
“Should I buy a hat? I don’t have much money now.”
I had a few gold buttons, but I couldn’t afford to casually exchange them for money in this town.
“Right, right, but I can’t get caught by Idriish, so the hat comes first.”
With a heavy heart, I went into the hat shop and bought the cheapest hat. In fact, it was 3 bronze, but they gave me a discount when I begged earnestly.
When I left the store, my hair was covered, but my pocket was thinner.
My stomach growled.
It was a disaster. I had only eaten a few bites of the chicken roll I had bought earlier at the restaurant. Rather, I had run away at full speed, so I was hungrier than before I ate.
Wasn’t the skewer 1 bronze earlier? If I ate just one, I think I would live.
Who would drop money and not pick it up?
I carefully scanned the ground. Then, something silver sparkled from afar.
It’s, it’s money!
I ran. The closer I ran, the more certain I became.
It’s a silver coin! Ten skewers!
I was already drooling as if the skewers were right in front of me.
But the moment my hand touched the silver coin, I collided headon with someone.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
